"Announcement to all academy members: Disciples participating in the 17th Earth Ranking Competition of the Will of the Earth, please proceed to the Guangyao Peak Martial Arts Square of Qingshan Academy..."
Didi~Didi~
"Disciples participating in the 17th Earth Ranking Competition of the Will of the Earth, please proceed to the Qingshan Academy Martial Arts Square on Guangyao Peak..."
This broadcast echoed throughout Qingshan College, from the mountains big and small, but of course the busiest place was Dormitory Street.
People of all kinds, men and women, young and old, with different levels of cultivation, walked towards the square in groups of three or four.
Qingshan College is built among the mountains and consists of nine peaks. Except for Tingxian Peak, the tops of the other eight peaks have been cut off to form a platform square.
For example, the dormitory street of Shaozheng Peak Platform is on the second peak, and the martial arts square we are going to is on the Guangyao Peak top platform of the fourth peak.
The peaks are connected by cableways, and any disciple who has practiced martial arts can rely on them to travel between the peaks.
Step onto the cable car and feel free to wander between heaven and earth.
Disciples can feel the heaven and earth and practice cultivation.
But not today.
"Why not?"
Wan Shuo, a dark-skinned and sunny boy, looked at Chu You with a puzzled expression.
He even looked at Li Bingwen with the same puzzled look, because the two of them chose the same direction.
The cable cars connecting the peaks are at the top of the mountain, as is the Shaozheng Peak cable car at the disciples' dormitory, but these two people were walking down the mountain in the opposite direction.
This has to make people wonder!
"Ashuo, you are still too young.
"Think about it, right up until today, when the entire academy just announced the location of this year's competition, so many people rushed to the top of the mountain at the same time. Even Qingshan Academy, with its 2,000 ropeways, couldn't accommodate so many people at once."
Li Bingwen patted Wan Shuo on the shoulder and led him down the mountain, explaining:
"So we're going to go against the grain and take a path that people don't normally take."
"Subway down the mountain!"
Chu You, carrying a black sword, led the way. He was still waiting to finish this damn battle mission as soon as possible so that he could come back and continue practicing.
"Qingshan Academy has hundreds of thousands of disciples, and most of them are ordinary people who have just learned to practice. They simply cannot use the cable car. That's why there is a free subway going down the mountain, which is open to junior disciples and also leads to Guangyao Peak."
Li Bingwen, who had searched everywhere for food, was familiar with the environment of Qingshan College.
This type of subway is specially designed for ordinary servants who do not know how to practice cultivation, as well as junior disciples who have just started practicing. Of course, other people can also ride it, but they need to pay extra.
But people with a higher level of attainment will not take it, because the subway can only go to the foot of the mountain, which is not as convenient as the cable car at the top of the mountain.
"To be precise, Qingshan Academy has 650,000 disciples to date, excluding the odds, and junior disciples account for more than 70%. Judging from the impact of the battle for the Earth Ranking, it is estimated that all disciples will participate.
“But there is a preliminary examination. If we calculate based on the level of the maze I passed, a preliminary calculation shows that another seven levels of junior disciples will be eliminated.
"Even excluding other factors like missions, there are over 300,000 disciples from Qingshan Academy alone participating in this battle for the Earth Ranking, not to mention the disciples who have arrived from other academies.
"You can imagine that the mountaintop cable car is already overcrowded. It will probably take several hours to get in line..."
On the way down the mountain, Chu You was also analyzing the situation for the two of them.
At first, he was trying to fall into the crowd and then lose his own home, thus missing the battle.
But then I thought about it and gave up. Compared to the discomfort of being squeezed in with so many people, it is still more comfortable to participate. By the way, I can complete the mandatory tasks for this quarter at the same time. Why not do it?
Just like he said just now, with hundreds of thousands of disciples, who would notice him?
Just treat it as a mission!
He also had a vague guess as to why the entire hospital broadcast was played uniformly this time and the starting location was determined uniformly, which was Guangyao Peak, the farthest from all the accommodation peaks.
"So, normally the subway might be slower than the cable car, but today is different."
Of course, among these 300,000 disciples, there are some with high cultivation levels or good family conditions, who can fly over on their own or with the help of transportation.
But I don’t know if these are also within the scope of investigation...
"So that's it!" Wan Shuo suddenly realized.
Speaking of which, after the three of them found out this morning that they had all passed the preliminary exam, they were a little... excited, because they were in the same dormitory and could act together this time.
Of course, except for a guy who has reduced his presence...
"This... I didn't expect there to be so many people in the subway at the foot of the mountain..."
At the foot of Shaozheng Peak, at the entrance to the Qingshan College subway station, one can see from afar thousands of people crowded together, all waiting for the subway that runs every five minutes.
But the train can only carry 3,000 people at a time. If the people we see now want to leave, they will have to wait for four subways.
Looking back, they saw that there seemed to be more people coming down the mountain. Wan Shuo and Li Bingwen exchanged glances. They could imagine that others could also imagine that there were many people on the top of the mountain.
"Why don't we wait? There might be more people later, but at least it's better than the crowd at the top of the mountain."
After all, only a few people can think of taking the subway. They think so, and those who are waiting for the next subway also think so, but Chu You doesn’t think so.
"What are you waiting for? Come this way."
The three of them were already some distance away from the subway entrance, and after Chu You called out to them, they immediately turned onto the small path down the mountain.
"I said I was taking the subway, but I didn't say it was Shao Zhengfeng's subway."
If they weren't roommates, he wouldn't have bothered to remind them.
“They thought of the subway at the foot of the mountain, but they didn’t think that the nearest eighth sealed peak, Zongzheng Peak, also had a subway, so they had to take a detour.
"But instead of getting stuck here and being unable to advance or retreat when there are too many people, it's better to go ahead now while everyone else hasn't reacted yet."
