Chapter 068: Challenge 3
The students from the Imperial Capital were furious and couldn't help but sneer, "Good boy, you're really looking for trouble!"
Before he finished speaking, the students from the Imperial Capital who wanted to support their alma mater all lowered their heads in embarrassment.
It was simply because they had actually been to Ankang Town and knew that its architecture was indeed superior. While the difference wasn't worlds apart, it was still a world apart. Their building materials were genuine, nothing fake. But what about Imperial Capital Academy? It was magnificent on the outside, but it had fallen into disrepair.
Cesare took over the conversation, "The Civilian Academy is a super gold-level building."
The students from the Imperial Capital who participated in the competition looked surprised.
You know, even at the same level, there are slight differences.
Just like how Imperial City College is a top-tier gold-level building, but Imperial City College barely made it to the gold level, while Commoner College... is actually a top-tier gold-level building?!
They turned their heads to look at their companions who had been to Ankang Town, only to see that they were looking at each other with an attitude of tacit agreement, which made them feel disappointed.
At this moment, they looked at the furious Lord Cesare, then took a half step back dejectedly and stopped talking.
Lin Muqiu smiled but said nothing.
Even the Imperial Capital Academy was conceived by her in the book. Is she proud?
"Well, now that everyone's here, let's have a formal meeting." A man in silver armor smiled radiantly and extended his hand to Lin Muqiu. "I'm Louis, the president of Imperial Capital College, and the younger brother of His Majesty King Louis."
The armor shone like his smile, and the scales were raised and stretched out, like eaves reaching up to the chasm. The cold light was as sharp as a knife, reaching straight to the throat.
Full of momentum and extremely bold.
Lin Muqiu was not intimidated at all. He shook hands with him, but before he could let go, he heard him ask in feigned surprise, "Hey, Master Lin, why are you wearing white? Doesn't Ankang Town make armor?"
Lin Muqiu raised his eyebrows.
No, this method of suppressing people is too despicable, isn't it?
She was about to speak when Cesare spoke again, "Master Louis, don't you see the blood-stained soldiers of the Beast Tide, yet you flaunt the gleaming coldness of your armor?"
This implicitly mocked Louis for wearing a good suit of armor but never leading troops in battle.
Everyone present at the Imperial Capital Academy was stunned, and then they all lowered their heads.
In fact, Louis was supposed to lead the troops to fight against the beast tide, but the natural disaster came early and Louis was unable to go out due to illness, so Cesare was the one who took over in the end.
Otherwise, as a professor, this might not be his turn.
Louis said he was sick, but in fact it was because the natural disaster came early and the war was difficult to fight, and he just didn't want to do something that would be a thankless task.
Everyone has a *scale* in their heart. When these words were spoken, all the students in the imperial capital present were ashamed and their faces flushed.
At least the lords and deans of other countries can fight for their country with their own lives, but what about them?
Louis wanted to bite his teeth to pieces.
Damn it, I fell into their trap!
Why are all the people in Ankang Town so sharp-tongued?!
His eyes were filled with resentment, yet his expression remained gentle and respectful. "It's Master Cesare. Long time no see. I didn't expect you to adapt so quickly to your new surroundings after leaving the Imperial Academy. Could it be that Ankang Town, being located at the northernmost tip, has good feng shui?"
Everyone's heart was in turmoil.
This statement is undoubtedly a subtle criticism that Ankang Town is on the edge and Cesare has been demoted!
Cesare smiled gently in response. "Yes, the feng shui is indeed excellent. Choosing a wise master to live here is truly a blessing."
When Cesare mentioned Lin Muqiu, he seemed to be showing respect, but it shocked everyone present.
If the lord of Ankang Town is a wise leader, then what are His Majesty and the dean?
In one sentence, seemingly unintentional, he scolded both His Majesty King Louis and Dean Louis. It was amazing!
What exactly is the origin of Ankang Town? Isn't this too brave?!
*
"The teachers' competition has officially begun."
At the command, the whole audience was boiling, with gongs and drums beating and shouts continuing.
If the previous verbal battle was just an appetizer, the flag-pulling battle at this moment was the real culmination.
A five-kilometer-long forest was designated as the competition venue. All professors were evenly scattered in various directions to coordinate and attack. Mages were not allowed to teleport, and only one professor from each department could participate.
The person who pulls out the flag will be eliminated from the competition, and the rest of the players will continue to compete.
Because the Imperial Capital College has a president and a vice-president, Louis sent the vice-president to the competition, while he stayed outside to arrange the live broadcast.
This competition was broadcast live across the mainland, and Louis was determined to win, drinking his tea calmly.
In the forest, Cesare was not in a good mood.
He charged quickly, hacking at the surrounding beasts.
A cold snort escaped the corner of his mouth, and he thought that it was just as Lin Muqiu expected!
Huangdu said that he would scatter the professors evenly in all directions, but he still did some tricks!
For example, he who was considered the most powerful by Huangdu was automatically teleported to the forest, surrounded by wild beasts. By the time he dealt with these beasts and rushed to his teammates, it was estimated that many of his teammates had been eliminated!
If the other party really did something... then the first one to bear the brunt would definitely be Yun Yi!
Looking at the reflected screen, Louis sighed deliberately, "Oh my God, Master Lin, you are so unlucky! Not far from your mage are our swordsman and another mage. What do you think..."
He deliberately dragged out the words and looked at Lin Muqiu with a bit of evil amusement, "Will they meet?"
Lin Muqiu replied calmly, "I suspect not only will the two sides meet, but it will be two against one, with two of you against my mage."
Louis was stunned for a moment and almost burned his fingers on the hot teacup.
Why does it feel like Lin Muqiu sees through everything? This is impossible!
The mage of the Imperial Capital Academy is level 81, and the swordsman is level 74, and the swordsman's melee combat is against the mage!
They can't lose! Lin Muqiu must be just holding on!
Thinking of this, Louis calmed down and asked with a deliberate smile, "Master Lin, why don't you see the townspeople cheering for the academy? I heard that you are quite respected by the townspeople."
Lin Muqiu was puzzled. "Isn't it because this is your home field?"
Louis: "..."
Are people in Ankang Town so straightforward?
His face turned grim, and he was about to continue looking for trouble when he saw his servant running over with a look of horror on his face.
"What's the matter? What a fuss." He was quite displeased.
The servant whispered tremblingly into his ear: "Master Dean, there is a large group of people outside who want to enter the academy. They said that if the gate is not opened, then...then..."
Louis was quite impatient, "What's the matter?"
"Just flatten the gate of the Imperial Capital Academy." The servant said in a trembling voice.
As soon as the words fell, the ground shook. The students of Imperial Capital College thought it was an earthquake and were about to flee in all directions when they saw a pair of people riding turkeys. They were so numerous that they could not see the end. There were guards and townspeople, all of them in high spirits, shouting excitedly:
"Master Lin Muqiuyyds!"
"Go Civilian Academy!"
"I wish Ankang Town a great victory!"
One shout was louder than the other, and everyone was waving their swords, actually coming to help. The leader Augustine showed off his skills and raised his eyebrows at Lin Muqiu, asking for credit.
Lin Muqiu couldn't help laughing and smiled.
She said, now that the townspeople are rich and can afford space teleportation, how could they not join in the fun?
At this moment, all the students of Imperial Capital College were dumbfounded.
Although they were the best in the academy, who had ever faced such a bloodthirsty guard? Not to mention that the other party looked like they were ready to eat people!
They shrank back, and the sounds of cheering became much quieter.
The comparison between the two sides adds to the irony.
Louis's face turned pale and his ears were buzzing.
Even in their main arena, they were still overshadowed by Lin Muqiu and his team!
It is such a rare shame in my life!
What’s going on in Ankang Town? They are superior to them in everything!
Fortunately, fortunately... Imperial Capital Academy will definitely win.
Louis relaxed his back for the second time and was about to wipe the sweat off his face when he heard the referee's announcement from the Professors' Guild:
[Imperial Capital Academy, the professor of swordsmanship is out! ]
[Imperial Capital College, the professor of the Mage Department is out! ]
Louis suddenly fixed his eyes on the screen, his pupils trembling, his fingers suddenly shrinking, and he gripped the teacup tightly, not caring about the heat.
He was distracted for a moment. How could it be possible?
He couldn't believe it and quickly replayed the screen to three minutes ago when Yun Yi was facing the enemy swordsman and mage.
On the screen, Yun Yi looked at the two people with unfriendly expressions, thought for a moment, and then drew out his staff.
There was no problem until here, until——
He blew the two people away without hesitation.
It flew, literally.
That is the wind spell [Tornado].
The wind flashed with dazzling golden light, like a huge wave, so violent that it could tear a person into its stomach in one bite. It was estimated to be at least level 90.
Louis stood up for the first time, and the teacup fell to the ground and broke into pieces. If his reason had not stopped him, he might have really shouted that the other party was cheating!
Unfortunately, he was the one who cheated.
His lips were trembling and he couldn't speak.
The Imperial Capital Academy had lost two of its strongest fighters. How could they possibly fight?!
And how could it be possible? Wasn't Yun Yi only level 30 or 40 in the Beast Tide video? He pondered over it, but couldn't understand.
The most terrifying thing was that he had set up a place closer to Yun Yi in order to allow the others to quickly reunite with their swordsmen and mages, so that no one would be eliminated...
Then... wouldn't it be...
On the screen, Yun Yi continued walking forward with a blank expression.
His personal talent skill is [Exclusive Replacement], which allows him to exchange one attribute with Lin Muqiu. He usually only exchanges his abundant stamina and physical strength for his master, but that doesn't mean he can't also replace his master's magic power.
Thinking of his master's instructions, he raised his staff again and quickly blew away the trees that blocked his way. Without the obstacles, his journey speed increased a lot.
When encountering an enemy, we will blow them away one by one and never keep them alive.
The huge stadium has turned into a slaughterhouse.
Contrary to what Louis had expected, no one in Ankang Town was easy to mess with. Even Kede Luo, whom he thought was weaker, did not give in at all after facing the vice-president of the Imperial Capital College, and even defeated him.
The announcements that continued to resound through the sky symbolized the disastrous defeat of the Imperial Capital Academy:
[Imperial Capital College, the professor of the Department of Planting is out! ]
[Imperial Capital College, the professor of animal taming is out! ]
[Imperial Capital College, the professor of forging is out! ]
【……】
Some professors of the Civilian Academy with weaker fighting skills, such as Matthew Mario, happened to be closer to the flag-taking point and took advantage of the chaos to rush to the finish line.
But they didn't pull out the flags. Instead, they pulled out various local specialties from Ankang Town from their backpacks and enthusiastically introduced them: "Don't miss it if you pass by! This is Ankang Town's lard residue, it's delicious, 25 copper coins for half a pound!"
"This is a cowhide wallet from Ankang Town. It costs 50 copper coins. It has the function of retrieving lost items and automatically tracking them!"
"This is the recovery potion from Ankang Town. It costs 1 silver coin per bottle and is made by a senior pharmacist!"
"Welcome to our town! We'll continue our introduction!"
“…”
When this move was made, everyone gasped.
This operation is so similar to...
They all looked at Lin Muqiu at the same time.
Wherever he looked, Lin Muqiu was imitating Louis' tone, saying exaggeratedly, "Sir, you are so unlucky! How come you all happened to meet our magician by such a coincidence!"
These words were returned to Louis without any change.
It sounds like a joke, but also like a question.
Immediately, these words caused a huge uproar.
