Three figures sat around a round table, the atmosphere somewhat somber.
"This can't go on any longer!"
Of the three, the oldest, a white-bearded man wearing a purple magic hat, spoke, his voice unusually serious.
"That dragon is terrifying! All ten participating students are ridiculously strong, and they all advanced in the second round. If this continues, our three positions will be in danger!"
The elderly man with explosive muscles and another middle-aged man in his forties remained silent, tacitly agreeing with what the old man had said.
They all felt threatened by that dragon.
They could allow Dragon Territory to become one of the thirty-two academies in the Academy Alliance, but they could not allow it to threaten their own positions.
"Stop pretending to be mute. If we don't use some tricks, the next time we're sitting here, it might not be the three of us."
Seeing that the two remained silent, the old man in the magic hat snorted and placed several portraits on the table.
Ten people, including Alan and Alice!
Let's take a look!
The old man with explosive muscles spoke up and took a few of the bills first.
"This boy named Alan is not easy to deal with!"
The middle-aged man also took one, looked at the portrait in his hand, frowned slightly, and couldn't help but speak.
The three of them had exceptional insight, so they could naturally tell who the strongest among the ten was.
This boy named Alan was undoubtedly the strongest among all the students participating in the competition; none of the students under him could rival him.
Even now, they still haven't figured out the limits of Alan's strength.
"Don't worry about him. If it's just one person, he won't affect the overall situation!"
"Of the other nine, our academy will be responsible for three. Be careful, or we might be caught off guard!"
The three began to select, and quickly divided the nine portraits into categories.
"In the third match, we must eliminate at least four people from the Dragon Territory, otherwise, as their numbers dwindle, they will become even more difficult to deal with!"
The three looked at each other, nodded slightly, and left in silence.
This is the first time since the Northwest College Alliance was established that three major colleges have simultaneously targeted a single college.
However, the strength that Dragon Territory has demonstrated certainly justifies it!
As time passed and the sky began to lighten, the square was once again crowded with people who had come to watch the excitement. The number of people was even greater than last time, as they had all arrived in the past few days.
The priest and the bishop took their seats in the main seats, and compared to their perfunctory attitude the previous two days, they were clearly in a better mood this time.
Another one of the thirty-six deans' seats is now empty.
Countless gazes instinctively turned to Su Qing's back. Sure enough, the students from that academy were standing behind Su Qing. In addition, a dragon with fiery red scales was even more eye-catching.
Hong Huohuo felt extremely uncomfortable noticing that many people were glancing at him from time to time.
If I had to describe it, it would be like a gorilla standing in a crowd; it's hard not to attract other people's attention.
However, seeing the little fat boy's calm demeanor, Hong Huohuo immediately felt confident, pulled over an empty chair, and sat down casually.
No one bothered to argue with the red dragon. There were two empty seats anyway, so letting the dragon sit there wouldn't be a problem.
Once everyone had arrived, the drawing of lots began.
Ninety people, ten arenas, nine people in each arena.
After four matches, one lucky player advanced directly to the next round.
As the students drew lots, Su Qing, who had activated her 3D vision, noticed some subtle movements.
The staff members holding the lottery box would occasionally put their palms under the box and touch some mechanisms to influence the trainees' lottery numbers.
It must be related to what those three guys discussed yesterday.
The scene in the city lord's mansion yesterday did not escape Su Qing's three-dimensional vision. It was a pity that he could not hear the conversation of those three guys, but judging from the portraits on the table, they should be aimed at him.
The draw was quick; Su Qing had finished drawing her lot in the blink of an eye.
When the eleven people walked up behind him.
Su Qing glanced at their slips of paper and raised an eyebrow.
Alan and the extra boy were lucky enough to advance, while the other nine need to participate in the battle today.
Looking at the other participants, after two rounds of competition, it's hard to say that all those who remained were elites, but they all had at least some ability.
Today shouldn't be as boring as the last two times.
Hong Huohuo was clearly more excited than him. As a dragon, the feeling of sitting on a high platform and watching humans compete made him happy.
Su Qing's team only had Ruble in the first group to go on stage, on the number one arena.
"Keep it up, young man!"
Hong Huohuo cheered on the quiet boy.
Regardless of the circumstances, these are his nephew's men, so they're one of his own. It's always good to cheer on your own people.
"Be careful, go all out, and don't let something unexpected happen!"
Su Qing also gave a word of advice. His voice was not loud, but it was not quiet either. Dean Qinghe, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but turn his head and look at this boy who didn't have a strong presence. Could this be some kind of ace?
Ruble nodded seriously, gripped the hilt of his sword at his waist, took a deep breath, and his eyes flashed with a sharp edge.
Since the principal is telling me to go all out, then I might as well draw my sword!
Stepping onto the arena, he faced another young man, holding a long spear and looking at Ruble with a defiant gaze.
On the high platform, one of the deans of the three major higher academies, the middle-aged dean from Dark Academy, kept his eyes fixed on the number one arena.
However, after studying the opponent's two battles, it is impossible to fully deduce the opponent's strength.
