The central playground was crowded with people.
The stands were filled with people, including freshmen, seniors, college staff, and invited dignitaries.
"I'm so nervous!" Tang Sui stretched her arms and warmed herself up in her seat. "Are you confident you can make it into the top ten?"
Zhou Chaoyin's eyes flickered as he nodded, "I'm afraid the top four is hopeless, but the top ten is still a challenge."
"I hope our classmates won't be paired together, otherwise it would be a big loss." Wang Taiping said, nudging Chen Zhong. "Hey! It seems like there's a girl in the Spirit Weapon Class who's been watching us?"
Chen Zhong was wondering whether to admit defeat directly or fail after a "tough" battle.
Hearing Wang Taiping's words, he shuddered and glanced in the direction of the spiritual weapon class.
It was indeed Jia Shuangshuang. She had been staring at them with an extremely resentful and worried look.
Without changing his expression, Chen Zhong casually replied, "Are you overthinking it?"
Wang Taiping scratched his hair and chuckled, "That girl looks familiar? One of the top ten freshmen beauties, right? I remember her name is... Jia Shuangshuang!"
"Could she be interested in me? She keeps staring at me," Wang Taiping said with a playful smile. "Could she be admiring our Young City Lord?"
Chen Zhong coughed a few times and said, "Prepare well for the competition and stop daydreaming!"
The music suddenly stopped, and everyone looked up into the sky, only to see a suspended auditorium spewing spiritual steam flying overhead.
The flexible modification of the spiritual steam airship is a type of modern thermal spiritual weapon.
Those sitting there were the real top leaders of Tianyan Academy, all of them were dignified and otherworldly.
In the middle is a middle-aged man with neat short hair, sharp features, restrained energy, and boundless spirit.
"Grandmaster realm..." Chen Zhong swallowed his saliva and looked up.
The middle-aged man stood up, put his hands behind his back, and made a sound like thunder.
"Dear freshmen, I am the dean of Tianyan College... Xu Xiaodao. I am very happy that you have gathered here from all over the world. I am also honored to have you, the proud children of heaven, by my side.
I don't like to talk, and I hate to talk nonsense, so I declare that the three-day freshman trial competition officially begins! "
Bang bang bang!
There was thunderous applause.
Chen Zhong looked around, looking east and west.
Isn’t Ni Hengxiu present?
As for Xu Xiaodao, Chen Zhong also learned a little about him on the Internet. He was the dean of Tianyan Academy, one of the deputy hall masters of Tianyan Hall, a super powerful man at the first level of Grandmaster Realm, and he was upright, decisive and ruthless.
Rumble!
The original playground suddenly opened and flipped to both sides, and sixteen huge arenas rose from the ground.
At the same time, names popped up on the big screen, and random matching of all freshmen was underway.
Pairs of names appeared.
It's an elimination system. After the first round, there will be random matching again, and the process will continue until the top ten appear and the four new kings are selected.
"Ah, this!" Wang Taiping screamed.
"Sorry, I won't show mercy." Tang Sui smiled helplessly.
Chen Zhong saw his name. His opponent was called "Lin Yuan" from Class 13. He was very ordinary and had never been seen on the prediction list.
But Chen Zhong was not careless. Such an ordinary name would often be a dark horse.
The first round of competition began, and students appeared on all sixteen stages.
Wang Taiping and Tang Sui were right up there.
Tang Sui really lived up to expectations and broke through to the third level of the Spiritual Body Realm the day before. He also mastered two human-level spiritual skills very skillfully.
The long sword in his hand stabbed Wang Taiping so hard that he couldn't dodge. After using the fire explosion, he had the advantage for a few seconds, but soon he became discouraged due to lack of spiritual power, and was forced to admit defeat when Tang Sui put the sword on his neck.
There is no way. Wang Taiping is only at the first level of the Spirit Body Realm, and no one knows how much money this kid’s family donated to Tianyan Academy.
There was a battlefield that caught Chen Zhong's attention because one of the participants was a girl covered in a black robe. No one could see her face clearly, but they knew that her methods were strange and unpredictable. As soon as a black mist appeared, her opponent fell to the ground and fainted.
From beginning to end, the girl in black robe didn't say a word and hardly even moved her legs!
"What's the name of this student?" Xu Xiaodao asked while stroking his stubble on the high-altitude stands.
The headmaster next to him answered, "Wulan, fifteen years old, fourth level of the Spiritual Body Realm, from the Divine Empire. If I'm not mistaken, he's a member of the Crow Cult, which is on the verge of extinction."
Xu Xiaodao stared at the skinny little Wu Lan. "The Crow Cult? Are they still searching for the prophesied savior?"
"After exhausting resources and searching for hundreds of years, they have turned the second largest force in the Divine Empire into this state. Tsk tsk!" The Dean of Studies sighed.
"Send some spies to keep an eye on her and find out what her purpose is in coming to the academy. Could it be that the so-called savior is here with us?" Xu Xiaodao ordered.
Nearing noon, the last game of the morning came to a temporary end with the instant kill offensive of the No. 1 Rookie of the Year prediction list.
"That Yan Zhen is really strong. I didn't expect that I would be matched with him." Zhou Chaoyin smiled bitterly. He was the one who was killed instantly by Yan Zhen.
Tang Sui applied medicine to him, rubbing his shoulders lovingly. "After all, he's a descendant of the Yan family in the imperial capital. He's at the fifth level of the Spiritual Body Realm and has Earth-level spiritual skills... At least you didn't lie down!"
Wang Taiping was envious and jealous, and said sourly, "Squad Leader, you didn't lose! You are the real winner! You lost the game but won love!"
"Fatty Wang is such a bad mouth!" Tang Sui scolded with a smile, her face flushed with shame.
Zhou Chaoyin also smiled and shook his head, "Fatty, stop spreading rumors!"
Wang Taiping was suddenly stunned and turned his head around, "Where is Chen Zhong?"
