Outside world, Wuling City.

In the huge central square, figures appeared one after another in a panic.

These young people are all contestants in the ancient battlefield.

As the ranking battle was about to begin, those who were unable to collect ten talismans were all teleported out of the space.

The school instructors and palace masters who had been waiting here immediately stepped forward to count the number of people.

However, when they found out that there were a few fewer members, they didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

Because of this situation, there are only two possibilities.

First, those who have reached the qualification for promotion selection will still remain in the ancient battlefield, preparing for the next ranking battle.

The second type is that they have been killed by other contestants and their bodies have remained in the ancient battlefield forever.

Heaven on one side and hell on the other.

No matter which mentor or palace lord, they all tend to believe the first possibility.

But when it comes to understanding the students at their respective institutions, the vast majority of them just shook their heads and sighed, with a moment of silence in their hearts.

At this moment, a light blue figure was teleported out from the crowd in the square.

This girl is Zhao Linger.

She looked at the changing environment around her, her face slightly gloomy.

Just one more talisman seal is needed to achieve the goal.

Zhao Linger bit her red lips with her white teeth, feeling so unwilling!

whoosh!!!

Immediately afterwards, several students from Tianyan Academy were also teleported out at the same time.

Ying Yuanzi's sharp eyes immediately spotted Zhao Linger and others.

At that moment, he walked over quickly and took a quick look. There were six in total.

Among them, the four brothers Lin Hao, Qin Yu, Lei Meng and Gu Yunle did not exist.

"Very good, nothing is damaged."

Seeing this, Ying Yuanzi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and a relieved smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Brother Ying, is there something wrong with your calculation? Your team is still short of four people."

At this time, the bald old man next to him smiled and said, "It is unknown whether they are alive or dead, so how can we say that they are doing well?"

"I know."

Ying Yuanzi stroked his white beard and said with a confident smile: "If it were anyone else, I might be a little worried, but these four brothers, there is no need to worry at all."

Four brothers?

Hearing this, the bald old man was quite curious and couldn't help asking, "Who are they?"

"You'll know then."

Ying Yuanzi laughed deeply and replied in a mysterious tone.

"Okay, then I want to see which four students can give you such confidence."

The bald old man laughed sarcastically, wanting to see Ying Yuanzi make a fool of himself later.

Ying Yuanzi didn't take it seriously. Then he seemed to sense something and looked up.

Buzz——!

Above the square, a bright beam of light suddenly shot up into the sky.

Then the beam of light exploded in mid-air and suddenly turned into pieces of light curtains.

Human figures flickered within the light curtain, reflecting the scene of an ancient battlefield.

Its location is exactly the battle platform area in the core zone.

"Look, those people in the light screen projection seem to be the contestants who have reached the qualification for promotion."

"This pyramid is the location of the ranking battle, right?"

Seeing this, the eyes of the people in the square flickered with anticipation.

"Where is he?"

In the crowd, Zhao Linger's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, she raised her head, and her gaze quickly swept across the light curtains.

There is no doubt that the 'he' she was referring to was Lin Hao.

At the same time, outside the square, on the roof of a restaurant.

A graceful red figure stood quietly here, gazing at the dozens of light screens above the square.

“Found it.”

Soon, a young man projected on the light screen appeared in her pupils.

The woman in red was none other than Liu Siyu, who had had an ambiguous experience with Lin Hao in the Fukui Crypt that day.

"Lin Hao, I hope we can meet again in the future."

Gazing quietly at the young figure in the light curtain, Liu Siyu's alluring red lips showed a faint smile.

Immediately, a fire lotus appeared under her jade feet, and turned into a red light, flying towards the distant sky.

Obviously he had no intention of staying here and watching the outcome of the game.

…

At this time, within the area of ​​the battle stage.

Almost all the contestants who have reached the selection qualification have gathered here.

However, the entrances to the bottom floor of the battle platform are currently closed, and everyone can only wait patiently.

"I don't know how long we have to wait, so let's relax for a while."

Qin Yu was extremely bored, and it was obvious that he couldn't wait in such a boring way.

But he took out four animal-skin chairs and a table from his storage ring.

Then he took out his collection of fine wine.

Lin Hao was quite happy about this and randomly chose a chair to sit down.

The leather seat cushion is soft and comfortable. Sitting on it and sipping the wine, I feel a lot more relaxed.

The four brothers waited very comfortably under many surprised gazes.

It was in stark contrast to the tense expressions of the other contestants around him.

This unusual scene of Lin Hao and the others was undoubtedly noticed by the audience in the square outside.

"In such a rigorous Hundred Colleges Competition, those guys are so casual. They are so indulgent!"

"Looking at the uniforms they are wearing, they all seem to be students of Tianyan Academy."

"Tsk tsk, when did the rules of Tianyan Academy become so unruly?"

Suddenly, discussions in the square began to rise.

Finally, this public opinion broke out completely, and everyone began to mock Tianyan Academy.

In the crowd, those students from Tianyan Academy who were eliminated from the competition were all embarrassed when they heard the laughter around them.

Zhao Linger drooped her eyelids slightly, as if she felt that Lin Hao and the others' behavior was somewhat inappropriate.

And precisely because of her being so particular, she was destined to have no chance with Lin Hao in her life.

"Brother Ying, the four brothers you mentioned just now are those four young men, right?"

At this time, the bald old man from Jianyun Academy spoke again.

He looked at Ying Yuanzi and said jokingly with a smile: "Not bad, you know how to enjoy yourself."

Ying Yuanzi had seen countless people, so how could he not hear the sarcasm in the old man's words.

"If I were fifty years younger and could compete with them, I would also choose to wait for the competition in this comfortable way."

In response, Ying Yuanzi directly retorted, "Instead of being nervous and waiting stubbornly."

Hearing this, the bald old man was slightly stunned.

Then he said with a half-smile: "It's good to be comfortable, but it depends on whether you have the ability."

After saying that, he raised his head and stared at a handsome young man dressed in Jianyun Academy uniform projected on the light screen in the sky.

"Look at the light curtain on the far right corner. What do you think of the handsome young man with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes?"

The bald old man smiled with satisfaction and said, "He is my last disciple, Lu Chengtian."

Upon hearing this, Ying Yuanzi's expression changed slightly, and he looked in the direction the other party mentioned.

I saw that handsome young man with a tall figure and an imposing manner.

From a distance, his upright posture looked like a standing spear, exuding an outstanding aura.

"So he is the sword genius of the Lu family, Lu Chengtian."

Ying Yuanzi had obviously heard of this man's reputation.

He tempered his body at the age of three, learned sword skills at the age of five, and at the age of ten, Jianyun Academy made an exception and accepted him as the youngest student in history.

Until now, Lu Chengtian, who is already twenty years old, has achieved the Mahayana level of perfection in swordsmanship.

In Jianyun Academy, apart from the difference in cultivation level, no one can compare to him in sword intent!

"I heard that there is a student named Lin Hao in your Tianyan Academy who has the ultimate talent for cultivation."

The bald old man smiled and asked deliberately, "If he meets Lu Chengtian, who do you think will be better?"

"Without a competition, all words are just empty talk. Let's wait and see."

Ying Yuanzi had a calm expression, but there was a hint of solemnity in his eyes.

Although he is the lord of the mansion, he does not have much interaction with Lin Hao and knows very little about him.

Moreover, Lin Hao often went out for adventure and experience, and only recently arrived in Wuling City to join the team.

During the past six months, Ying Yuanzi was unable to estimate how much Lin Hao had grown.

Therefore, he did not dare to make any assertion regarding the provocation of the bald old man.

At this point, we can only wait and see as we said verbally...
