After placing their luggage in the courtyard, everyone walked towards the square outside the palace.
There are the audience seats and competition office for the competition, as well as the gathering place for participating colleges.
A flag stood tall, fluttering in the wind above the square.
The background is blood-red, dotted with platinum stars, and in the center is a dragon head totem in the style of ancient paintings.
This is the national flag of the Chiyan Empire!
There were huge crowds of people under the national flag, but the central area of the square was guarded by the Imperial Army and fenced off, so pedestrians could only stop outside.
"Please show your student ID." A staff member said politely.
Chen Zhong and others took it out and handed it over.
"Tianyan Academy!" a young female staff member exclaimed, looking around curiously.
When they heard that students from Tianyan Academy appeared here, everyone looked over.
Amidst the curiosity, envy, and surprise, there was also a hint of fighting spirit.
"Students from the Imperial College are here!" someone else shouted.
A large group of young men walked together, wearing luxurious gold-stamped school uniforms that looked more like well-tailored military uniforms.
There were four leaders, three men and one woman.
Chen Zhong's pupils shrank. These four people were all eighteen or nineteen years old, but they were all in the late stage of the Minor Success Realm.
Two are at the ninth level of the Small Accomplishment Realm, and two are at the eighth level of the Small Accomplishment Realm!
"The man and woman in the middle are brother and sister. The man's name is Yu Qixuan, and the woman's name is Yu Qiya," Yuan Wusha introduced them to everyone in a low voice. "From their surnames and generations, you should know that one of them is a prince, and the other is a princess!"
The young prince Yu Qixuan, who is at the ninth level of the Minor Accomplishment Realm, is both talented and virtuous, has an upright character, is obsessed with cultivation, and does not pursue power. It is precisely because of this that he is especially taken care of by his many royal brothers.
The little princess Yu Qiya, who is at the eighth level of the Minor Accomplishment Realm, is also devoted to cultivation. She is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is quite favored in the palace.
"Where are the other two?" Chen Zhong asked.
Yuan Wusha pointed at the young man with long ponytail hair on his left. "His name is Sima Xiao, the young patriarch of the Sima family. He is at the ninth level of the Minor Success Realm and is also a fourth-grade Spiritual Array Master. He is very low-key and cautious in his words and deeds. His methods are also extremely mysterious. Few people have seen him take action."
Sima Xiao, with red lips and white teeth, looks feminine but not effeminate. There is always a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. He does not look sinister at all, but rather has the bearing of a Taoist descendant.
"The one on the right with a cold face is the eldest son of the Lei family and the older brother of those two idiots in our academy. His name seems to be Lei Lichen, and he is at the eighth level of the Minor Accomplishment Realm. I heard that he is not easy to get along with and can easily break someone's arm if they are not careful." After Yuan Wusha finished speaking, the people from the Imperial Academy had almost arrived.
"Tianyan Academy? Welcome everyone to the imperial capital!" Yu Qixuan raised his eyebrows and greeted them warmly and friendly.
"It's a pity that Huo Xundao has graduated. The current Tianyan Academy is no longer a concern," Lei Lichen said coldly with a pair of dead fish eyes. He then looked him up and down, "Are you Yuan Wusha? The current number one on the list of evildoers?"
Yuan Wusha showed no sign of weakness, "You talk so much... is it muscular dystrophy?"
Lei Lichen sneered and mocked himself, "Although my two brothers are both useless, your Shangshan Sect is not worthy of being compared with the Lei family."
Yuan Wusha was about to curse back, but Chen Zhong pressed his shoulder and whispered, "Senior, please leave. The road is blocked."
At this moment, Yu Qixuan stepped forward and interrupted Lei Lichen, "Wu Sha Ling Wang? I've long heard of your great name!"
His words and actions lacked the authority that a prince should have, and were filled with the air of a gangster.
He didn't want to interact with others as a prince, as he couldn't make true friends that way.
It just so happened that Yuan Wusha was not a person who liked rigid etiquette. "Haha, classmate Qi Xuan is too polite. I come from an unknown background and am not like some people."
Lei Lichen frowned and was about to explode, but due to the occasion, he walked into the venue first.
There was a long queue behind, and many people were watching the fun. Everyone tacitly stopped arguing.
Yu Qixuan looked at Chen Zhong in surprise. He could clearly tell that Yuan Wusha, the top of the evildoers list, had great respect for this young man!
"He should be the leader of Shangshan Sect." Sima Xiao, who had been silent all this time, said.
"Oh?" Yu Qiya was a little interested. "Those talismans in Shangshan Shop were made by him?"
Sima Xiao nodded, "That should be the case. Princess, is that the whisk talisman on your clothes the Shangshan one?"
Yu Qiya pulled off a beautiful talisman stuck to the corner of her clothes and said, "These talismans are ingenious and exquisite, and are very popular in the palace."
Yu Qixuan asked, "Brother Xiao, what do you think of the quality of this talisman?"
Sima Xiao, a fourth-rank spirit formation master, said with sincere admiration, "Perfect, beyond my reach. When it comes to spirit formations, I'm not even as good as Yan Sui from the Tianyan Academy, and this person's attainments in spirit formations are far more thorough than Yan Sui's... by a lot!"
The brother and sister looked at each other in shock.
"It seems that the leader of the Shangshan Sect... is hiding very deeply!"
Lei Lichen, who was walking in front, was disdainful. "No matter how powerful his spirit formation is, he himself is only at the Blood Surge Realm. Without the foundation of strength, all his unconventional methods are just fancy tricks."
Yu Qiya curled her lips and said, "That makes sense. The Qiange Ancient Battlefield tests your combat prowess in the most direct way, so it's difficult to have enough time to set up a spiritual formation."
Bang!
Yu Qixuan slapped his sister lightly, "Don't underestimate the enemy. There are so many geniuses in this world. The most important thing to worry about is arrogance. Stay humble!"
Yu Qiya said aggrievedly, "Yeah, I understand."
Sima Xiao raised the corner of his mouth, and kept smiling like that. He glanced at Chen Zhong behind him, and there was endless fear in his eyes.
The fact that he was able to reach the ninth level of the Minor Success Realm and become a fourth-grade peak Spiritual Array Master at the same time showed that his sea of soul was very vast and his soul power was several times purer than that of an ordinary person.
