Imperial Capital, Tianyuan Square
The huge square was already full of people. In the center of the square was a not-too-big bronze tower.
The tower body is made of bronze and is engraved with flowing flower and cloud patterns, as well as eighteen pictures of phoenixes soaring in the sky, and eighteen pictures of dragons flying over the sea.
The top of the tower is inlaid with a milky white bead, which emits a faint white light, covering the entire tower, making the entire bronze tower look somewhat quiet and mysterious.
"Is this the Spirit Refining Tower?"
Jiang Li looked up and down at the not-so-big bronze tower from a distance, thinking secretly in his heart.
The other twelve contestants, like Jiang Li, all looked carefully into the distance, as if they could see through the tower and see the internal structure.
"This is the Spirit Refining Tower, one of the Federation's true treasures. You're truly lucky to have this opportunity. You should know that previous editions of the Five Major University Leagues didn't offer such rewards."
Seeing this, Li Wangyue smiled slightly and began to explain.
"Wait a moment, wait until those old guys above have finished their procedures, then you will follow my instructions and follow me into the arena."
After a pause, Li Wangyue continued.
Because Jiang Li won the championship, and Xu Tiangang, Li Haobai, and Fang Baiyun all made it to the top twelve, four of the top twelve were from Jiangnan Martial Arts High School, and two of the top six were from the top twelve.
She will be the temporary leader of the award ceremony for the top twelve.
As she spoke, Li Wangyue glanced at Jiang Li again, her beautiful eyes slightly curved. Jiang Li had become completely famous this time, and had become the undisputed strongest rising star in the eyes of all the young generation of warriors in the Federation.
His reputation has spread all over the country, from elementary school to high school and university. There is no young student who does not know him, and no young student does not regard him as an idol.
But everything has its pros and cons. Greater fame will allow Jiang Li to obtain resources faster and have wider channels to obtain resources in the future.
The disadvantage is that he will become the highest priority hunting target of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, even the geniuses of all races, and the evil hidden in the dark.
Moreover, no matter where he walked, countless bright lights would gather, which made it impossible for him to carry out some secret tasks or even enjoy the ordinary life of a normal person.
But if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. He can't even bear such a little pressure, so how can he go to the starry sky to find his parents and aunt?
In the starry sky, there are real dangers everywhere. If you are not careful, even taboos will fall.
"Champion, that's really enviable."
Backstage, Dai Zhenguo's half-joking words brought Li Wangyue's wandering thoughts back to reality.
"Zhenguo, those were truly fought with sword and spear. If you really envy them, you should wait until this baptism is over and practice the killing formation a hundred times every day to make your body even more indestructible."
Wei Ruo patted Dai Zhenguo on the shoulder and made a joke with a smile.
Unexpectedly, Dai Zhenguo only thought about it for a moment, then nodded seriously and said with an expression of agreement:
"You're right. It's true that I can't compare to you."
"I'll practice more when I get back. I know I can't compare to Jiang Li, but at least I can't be too far behind."
Dai Zhenguo spoke in a loud voice with a resolute look on his face, which made Wei Ruo hold his forehead with his hand, and also made the other ten contestants see his honesty.
"Well, you are now the idols of the younger generation of students across the Federation. You should pay a little attention to your image."
Li Wangyue coughed lightly, glared at Dai Zhenguo speechlessly, and then said:
"This time, it's not just the top leaders from the five major universities who are here, but also celebrities from all walks of life, as well as representatives from various factions."
"Even the sects are here. Even if some sects are busy with important matters and can't leave, they will still send their representatives. Moreover, just like the league assessment, this time, the entire process will be broadcast live."
"Every move you make is being watched by the entire federation, so don't be stingy with your words."
Li Wangyue reminded again.
"Teacher Li, don't worry, I understand."
Dai Zhenguo nodded. He was straightforward but not stupid. He knew what to say and what not to say.
"That's good to know."
Li Wangyue nodded and stopped talking. Instead, he looked at the bronze tower in the center of the square.
Once upon a time, that girl represented Jiangnan Martial Arts High School, sweeping away other high schools and establishing a great reputation for Jiangnan Martial Arts High School. At the same time, because of her strength, the Federation made an exception and rewarded her with entry into the Bronze Tower.
That time, it was also Tianyuan Square, but she was the only one who entered for baptism, while this time there were twelve people.
"A new era has arrived."
Recalling some past events, Li Wangyue couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"Xiao Wu, your second senior brother is waving to you."
Suddenly, Li Wangyue saw Fang Hancheng in the viewing area of the sword-wielding men in the distance and couldn't help but point to Jiang Li with a smile.
Jiang Li looked in the direction Li Wangyue pointed, and sure enough, Fang Hancheng was sitting there waving at Jiang Li and Li Wangyue.
On Fang Hancheng's right was the five-star swordsman, with whom he had met several times.
Apart from that, Jiang Li did not see any of the higher-ups holding swords, such as Wang Lang.
"Is there any new mission from headquarters?"
Jiang Li was thinking secretly in his heart, but the next moment, he saw a familiar figure staring at him.
She is the leader of the Cangmen branch in Nanhe City, Shui Bingyue.
The two looked at each other, and Sailor Moon nodded as a polite gesture.
Jiang Li also nodded as a return gesture.
"when!"
A clear bell rang out, and the square, which was originally filled with people whispering to each other, suddenly became solemn and quiet.
The old man with gray hair and a slightly hunched back walked slowly to the front of the bronze tower.
"Good morning, everyone! I believe our little heroes can't wait to get the rewards they deserve."
"Then I, an annoying old man, will make my story short."
Such self-deprecating and sarcastic remarks caused good-natured laughter in the square.
But whether this laughter was a forced smile or a sincere one is unclear.
"The award ceremony for the five major college leagues has officially begun."
The old man said this and walked away, as if he had really decided that he was an eyesore.
At this time, Li Wangyue gave Jiang Li and the others a look, and the twelve people formed a team and followed Li Wangyue to the place where the old man was just now.
Observing and feeling this not-so-large bronze tower from such a close distance, Jiang Li felt more and more how terrifying and magical this tower was.
But this also made Jiang Li more and more looking forward to entering the top of the tower.
