Although it was already late at night and the bright moon hung high in the night sky, the capital city was still brightly lit and towering buildings stood tall.
Under the colorful neon lights, cars and people streamed by, showing no signs of the quiet of the night.
Looking at the classical three-panel vermilion palace gate of the Imperial Capital University in front of him, with two white jade lions placed at the entrance, it was as grand as an ancient palace, which was not much different from what Wang Zheng remembered.
The gate of the Imperial University on this blue planet is dozens of times larger than the one on Earth, and even more magnificent than the Star Coffin Gate of Nanjing University.
At the main entrance of Imperial University is a wide main road, and across the street is the center of the capital.
It is the most famous and oldest scenic spot.
Looking at all the universities in the country, none of them have such a grand scale to build a university town in such a location.
Although it was already late, the roadside was still crowded with onlookers, reporters from various tabloids, and security personnel maintaining order, making it look quite lively.
If it weren't for the fact that the entrance to the university town was closed due to the upcoming martial arts tournament, countless people would probably have already flocked up to visit by now.
All 39 universities affiliated with the Awakened will gather in the capital in the next few days. Nanjing University is not the only one that has arrived today. Wang Zheng has already seen several other university buses parked here.
Moreover, since entering the city, the car from Shanghai Jiaotong University had been following closely behind them. Coincidentally, the two companies arrived in the capital at the same time and arrived at the gate of Beijing University one after the other.
Once the car came to a stop, a group of tall, muscular contestants, also with serious expressions, got out and lined up in a straight row.
Compared to the strict discipline at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, the atmosphere at Nanjing University was much more relaxed. People gathered in twos and threes, waiting for the teachers to register them and then take them to their new homes.
At this moment, Chu Tianxing had already exchanged pleasantries with the principal of the other school.
Principal Wang Zheng, who was about the same age as Old Man Chu, had also seen him at last year's training camp. He glanced at him casually but didn't dare to use the scanner.
The aura emanating from the other party clearly indicated that he was a grandmaster, and Young Master Wang did not want to cause a conflict with a grandmaster as soon as he arrived in the capital.
If he gets beaten up, even Chu Tianxing can't protect him.
As for the players from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Wang Zheng only glanced at them briefly. Zong Zheng, the guy with the long spear who had fought against Wang Zheng before, was not there.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. After all, he's only a freshman. How many freshmen can secure a spot to represent the school in a competition? Not everyone is a genius like him, Wang Dashao.
As for the others, Wang Zheng didn't think they were anything special; they were just a bunch of oddballs.
However, these guys looked at the Nantong people with some ill intent.
To be precise, the target was mainly Wang Zheng; others were implicated because of him.
Logically speaking, there is no connection between Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Nanjing University, nor is there any historical enmity between them. As schools at the same level, their common enemy is the two prestigious universities in Beijing and Shanghai.
But don't forget that in the genius training camp that started because of last year's drug allocation issue, Wang Zheng personally stepped on the students of Shanghai Jiaotong University to win the third place in the country, leaving them to only rank fourth.
Don't be fooled by the fact that it's just a third and a fourth place, which may seem like there's not much difference, but the allocation of potion resources between them is worlds apart!
With resources often amounting to hundreds of millions of units, how could they not hold a grudge?
However, in the end, Wang Zheng is just a freshman. If he stays in Jingnan obediently, then it's fine.
After all, it's not like the top students from Shanghai Jiao Tong University would go to Jingnan specifically to cause trouble for a freshman.
But this kid was incredibly reckless and actually managed to get the qualification to represent Nanjing University in the martial arts tournament...
That's interesting. Since they're all participating in the same competition, it can't be considered bullying the weak. At this point, the group of young men and women from Shanghai glared angrily at the Nanjing University team.
Meanwhile, Young Master Wang was immersed in the dazzling world of the capital, peeking around and observing, completely ignoring the group of little Karami.
He had even forgotten about what happened last year, and now he thought it was some kind of past grudge between the two families.
No wonder the students in Shanghai were furious. Right now, they were all staring at Wang Zheng, hoping to face him in the competition and help their alma mater avenge its previous defeat and teach him a lesson...
Wang Zheng naturally didn't take these little Karamis seriously, and he was unaware that he had already become quite famous in this martial arts tournament.
Not only those from the Demon Interchange, but also Shanghai University, which he utterly crushed in the Grand Tournament, Southeast University next door, and the host university, Imperial University...
These players were all holding their breath, eager to teach him a lesson.
This is entirely due to the fact that Young Master Wang is the only freshman in this year's martial arts competition.
Moreover, the video of him taking on multiple opponents in the Nanjing University selection competition went viral online, which meant that Wang Dashao's name had already made headlines long before the start of this competition.
Some say he fabricated the story and put on a show, others say it's just Nanjing University's publicity stunt, and still others want to meet this person hailed as the top genius of the 26th cohort. In any case, the buzz surrounding him is off the charts.
He had already garnered a lot of attention even before the competition started.
However, Wang Shao was completely unaware of this at the time. He believed that a genius like himself would shine brightly in the crowd like the morning star in the night, and the "domineering aura" he exuded would naturally attract everyone's attention.
So, Wang Zheng stood with his hands behind his back and his nostrils pointing upwards, still busy striking a pose.
Young Master Wang planned to establish Nanjing University's high-class image from the very beginning.
Remember the requirements your principal sets for you.
As for what the requirements are, it's very simple; the central idea can be summarized in just eight words.
"Be quick and stylish!"
The two groups were locked in a stalemate for a while. When they saw that Wang Zheng was just looking up at the sky and ignoring their provocations, the people from Shanghai Jiaotong University thought that the kid had chickened out.
Finally, after the leading contestant let out a cold snort, he led his men away in anger.
On the Nanjing University side, although Wang Zheng was nominally in first place, the team leader was the honest and steady Li Yi. From the moment the two sides faced off, he had been subtly standing at the front, blocking the view of the Mo Jiao group.
He secretly wiped away his sweat and then let out a long sigh of relief.
