After Huangfu Gui left, the Imperial Guards students gathered in twos and threes, excitedly discussing the sports meet and their awards.

On the other hand, the Imperial Academy and the three colleges also received news of the sports meet, and the competitions and generous rewards greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of the young students to participate.

Soon, the news that the emperor and the court were about to hold a sports meet spread throughout the streets and alleys of Luoyang through the intelligence bureau, causing the people to discuss it extensively.

In this era of scarce entertainment, anything can become a topic of conversation among ordinary people, and the interest can linger for a long time.

Moreover, this kind of competition involving hundreds of people will definitely be very exciting, which naturally arouses great interest and attention from the people.

Just as people were discussing the matter, the Imperial Guard, the Imperial Academy, and the three colleges also announced that they would hold a competition to select athletes the following day, allowing ordinary people and students to attend.

This news instantly ignited people's enthusiasm, because no matter how much discussion there is, nothing beats the thrill of watching it in advance.

This was also Liu Hong's deliberate act, his purpose being to let people know and understand in advance what the Games are and what competitive sports are, thereby increasing and spreading the popularity of the Games.

Early the next morning, countless people and students flocked to the Imperial Guard, the Imperial Academy, and the three academies to watch the students' selection competition.

Every college was packed with people, creating a lively atmosphere that gave the impression that the streets were deserted.

Outside the Imperial Guard Camp, the Xiahou brothers and Xu Chu arrived as scheduled.

"My God, why are there so many people?!"

Looking at the dense crowd ahead, Xiahou Yuan couldn't help but swallow.
