Two days later.
As the day of the Hundred Colleges Competition officially arrived, the atmosphere in Wuling City became completely agitated.
Early morning.
Figures of people poured out from the inns in the streets and alleys.
Their goals were almost the same, all rushing towards the giant square in the central area of the city.
Lin Hao's Tianyan Academy team, led by Ying Yuanzi, also arrived at the central square.
At first glance, there was a huge crowd of people and a lot of noise.
That scene was quite shocking.
“There are so many people!”
Lin Hao looked at the dense crowds of people around him and was secretly shocked.
I never thought there would be so many universities in the Sky Continent.
The uniforms of different colors gathered together would be extremely gorgeous if viewed from above.
Although it is a Hundred Colleges Competition, with the current number of participating colleges, there are probably not just one hundred, but more than seven hundred!
Each school has ten participating members, which is equivalent to more than 7,000 people!
To stand out among so many people is not as easy as you think.
"The last competition was a traditional ring battle. I wonder what new rules there will be this time?"
At the head of the team, Ying Yuanzi muttered to himself.
Thinking back to the ten students he selected that year, who were wiped out by the contestants from Wuling Academy here, that humiliating scene still lingers in his mind.
Victory and defeat are common in the military, and the same is true in competition. Ying Yuanzi is not unable to let it go.
But the people from Wuling Academy are really going too far.
In the previous competition, even when the contestant from Tianyan Academy voluntarily admitted defeat, he still did not stop fighting and brutally killed him.
Although Ying Yuanzi was angry at the time, this was the territory of Wuling Academy, so he could only swallow his anger.
Thinking back to the scene at that time, Ying Yuanzi's eyes were filled with anger and it was hard to dissipate!
"Lin Hao, Qin Yu, Lei Meng, Gu Yunle, the four of you listen."
Suddenly, Ying Yuanzi spoke in a low voice and called out the four of their names.
"Master, what can I do for you?"
Lin Hao and the others looked a little puzzled and looked at Ying Yuanzi beside them.
"In this competition, if the contestants from Wuling Academy have any evil intentions, you don't have to be lenient and just beat them to death."
A hint of coldness appeared on Ying Yuanzi's old face, and he said in a low voice: "Did you hear clearly?"
Hearing this, Lin Hao, Qin Yu and others couldn't help but be slightly surprised.
Obviously, no one expected that the usually kind and approachable lord of the mansion would have such a brutal side.
"yes."
Immediately, the four of them nodded solemnly.
In fact, they would naturally understand without Ying Yuanzi's explanation.
If a fight really came to a head, in terms of ruthlessness, the four brothers would probably be stronger than most people present.
"clang--!"
At this moment, a melodious bell sounded.
Then, some noise appeared deep in the square.
Countless gazes were cast over there.
But then I saw a group of cavalrymen in armor, leading the way with great momentum.
In the middle of the team, a silver-haired man with an indifferent expression rode on a horse and followed the cavalry to the platform in the square.
He has an ordinary appearance and seems to be about thirty years old, but his eyes are full of vicissitudes, as if he is an old man who has experienced countless years.
Then, under the gaze of everyone, the silver-haired man slowly walked up to the stage.
"He is the person in charge of this Hundred Colleges Competition? So young!"
"Yeah, he looks only a few years older than us. Can he take charge of the situation?"
Looking at the silver-haired man who suddenly appeared, many contestants present couldn't help but whisper to each other.
"Don't be rude!"
However, this kind of questioning immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the group of palace masters, and they almost reprimanded at the same time.
It can be seen that even though they are quite powerful, they look obviously in awe of this silver-haired man.
"This guy is very strong."
Lin Hao's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the silver-haired man who had already walked onto the platform, and he thought to himself.
Although there was not the slightest fluctuation of spiritual energy on the other party's body.
However, just from the awe-inspiring looks in the eyes of the palace masters present, it can be seen that this guy is by no means an ordinary person.
Lin Hao guessed that his martial arts realm was very likely to have reached the Saint realm!
At this time, on the high platform.
The silver-haired man looked down calmly at the dense crowd of people in the square below.
Under his gaze, the originally noisy noise in the field gradually quieted down.
After counting the breaths.
The silver-haired man finally spoke: "I am the person in charge of this Hundred Colleges Competition, Wei Ping."
The clear voice, blessed by spiritual energy, resounded throughout the square.
"After discussion among the nine major temples, we are planning to adopt a completely new competition format for this year's Hundred Academy Competition."
Hearing this, everyone's faces turned grim.
The nine great palaces and sects, the weight of these four words is as heavy as a mountain in the Cangkong Continent.
Even if all the forces of the schools present were added together, they would not be as strong as the foundation of a single palace sect.
Suddenly, everyone fell silent, listening attentively to what the silver-haired man was going to say about the rules of the competition.
"I believe everyone has heard about the racial war ten thousand years ago. Just as the rumors say, it really happened."
The silver-haired man stared at the void ahead with an indifferent look, as if muttering to himself: "And that battlefield back then is the land we are standing on now."
"Wuling City is just the tip of the iceberg. As for other areas, due to the influence of energy radiation, they were sealed by many powerful humans back then, forming an independent space."
"That space is now called the 'Ancient Battlefield'."
What, an ancient battlefield? ! !
This story undoubtedly caused quite a stir at the scene.
Everyone, including Lin Hao, was shocked at this moment.
The students from the universities who are able to come here to participate in the competition are all outstanding people from various regions.
It was soon guessed that this ancient battlefield would be the battle zone for their Hundred Colleges Competition!
For a moment, everyone was surprised and full of anticipation.
In today's Cangkong Continent, resources in most areas have been occupied and exploited by various forces. Only those with extremely good luck can get a chance.
However, the ancient battlefield was different.
The space that has been deposited for thousands of years must be hiding unimaginable treasures or even ancient heritage.
If you can get a little chance from it, it will definitely be a great help in martial arts!
Thinking of this, the eyes of the contestants present suddenly became fanatical.
They were all secretly surprised that they could be qualified as the first batch to enter the ancient battlefield in this Hundred Colleges Competition!
However, those old masters of the mansions secretly sighed in their hearts, obviously envious of this.
Thinking back, they had participated in the Hundred Colleges Competition when they were young, but they didn’t have this opportunity.
Besides, at my age now, there won’t be any chance in the future.
