"I am here to see Si Yu..." Gong Mingyue's deep voice was filled with endless coldness.
Everyone knows that Si Yu of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion and Youming God of the Nine Heavens Divine Palace have an inseparable relationship. What he said doesn't seem to make any sense. After all, there doesn't seem to be any other reason besides Si Yu!
Upon hearing this, Bai Lisha and Hua Li and the others immediately moved ten meters away from Si Yu.
Si Yu: ......
The crowd below speculated about the reason for the arrival of the Nine Heavens Divine Palace. After hearing Gong Mingyue's words, they recalled the rumors they had heard before.
Everyone looked on with regret. They hadn't expected the rumors to be true; that person was none other than the Rain God of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion!
"Then please, Your Excellency, take a seat!"
Gong Mingyue sat down next to Si Yu without any hesitation.
"Why are you here too?"
Si Yu asked in a low voice.
"What do you think!" As Gong Mingyue spoke, his gaze, hidden behind his mask, fell on the girl dressed in black, his eyes filled with doting affection.
Si Yu pursed her lips, and the two whispered to each other, but to others they looked like a young couple talking. The people in the square were even more certain of their own thoughts.
Not far away, Hua Li's probing gaze fell on Ji Jiuying. Her intuition told her that the biggest reason Ming You would come here was definitely that girl.
Ji Jiuying kept stroking the little phoenix's feathers. Since they arrived, several gazes had been fixed on her. Without a doubt, apart from a few people who knew her, there were no others.
"The annual Heavenly Ladder Tournament is about to begin again. Each of our five sects has selected ten elites to represent their sect!"
"During the competition, you get one point for defeating one person, and three points for defeating three people in a row, plus one point as a reward from the academy, for a total of four points. After the first round, the bottom thirty will be eliminated based on their scores. The second round will be a competition for the top ten, and the scores of the previous ten will be reset to zero. The third round will be a competition for the top three."
"The competition will end here. I'm sure everyone is clear about the rules and rewards. Who will be this year's dark horse? Let's wait and see."
As soon as he finished speaking, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Xiao Yichen's gaze fell on Ji Jiuying for a moment.
Ji Jiuying frowned, looking at Xiao Yichen on the stage with a puzzled expression. What did he know?
"I won't waste any more words, the ladder competition will begin now."
After speaking, Xiao Yichen glanced at Ji Jiuying with a half-smile before returning to his seat on the high platform.
Feng Qingxue and Luo Beiyue stepped forward and landed on either side of the arena.
"The first match is between the Formation Sect and the Beast Taming Sect!"
These words caused an uproar. Everyone shook their heads. The Array Sect versus the Beast Taming Sect, wasn't this a sure-fire easy question?
Yuehua didn't mind. The competition in the academy was just a way for the disciples to test their skills. They would stop when they were at a disadvantage, so what did it matter if they lost?
"Liang Guoyuan, you go up and play the first match."
Yuehua glanced at the list and pointed to Liang Guoyuan not far away. Liang Guoyuan leaped onto the arena. The person sent by the Beast Taming Sect was Su Lianyi.
At the beginning of a competition, strong players are usually not sent out to reveal their trump cards, so the later stages of the competition are the more exciting.
The two were evenly matched, but Liang Guoyuan's every move was much more composed than Su Lianyi's. Judging from the details, the outcome was already decided.
If nothing unexpected happens, the Array Sect will fire the first shot in the ladder competition!
As expected, after more than fifty moves, Su Lianyi was defeated by Liang Guoyuan.
Luo Beiyue stepped forward and declared: "Zhen Zong Liang Guoyuan wins!"
Su Lianyi returned to her original position with a face full of resentment. "Senior sister, I lost!"
Yao Guanglin patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Lianyi, it's okay. Although Liang Guoyuan's strength is about the same as yours, his foundation is much more stable than yours, so it's normal for him to lose."
"Being able to win in the top ten of the class competition is already quite impressive!"
Su Lianyi nodded upon hearing Yao Guanglin's words. Indeed, their Beast Taming Sect had more geniuses than other sects, and it was already a great achievement that she was fortunate enough to win the class competition.
Feng Qingxue also stepped forward and said, "The second match is between Liang Guoyuan of the Array Sect and the Weapon Sect!"
The Weapon Sect sent up a woman of considerable strength, apparently intending to diminish the prestige of the Array Sect.
The woman didn't take Liang Guoyuan seriously at all. She rushed onto the stage without saying a word, her moves ruthless and relentless.
"This time, Liang Guoyuan of the Formation Sect is going to be finished off by Li Wan of the Weapon Sect!"
"That's right. After all, Li Wan has been in the top ten of the ladder competition for two consecutive years. How can Liang Guoyuan compare to her strength?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, this sect will still be at the bottom!"
The people in the audience burst into laughter, while the people from the Array Sect turned black with anger!
Seeing the angry looks on the faces of the people from the Array Sect, the crowd became even more arrogant and provocatively said, "What are you looking at? We didn't say anything wrong!"
"that is!"
"With Xuanjing, Lanxi, and Fengyu in our Array Sect, we won't be at the bottom!" Some members of the Array Sect said angrily, unable to contain their anger.
To her surprise, those people laughed even louder when they heard what she said!
"Hahahaha, did I hear that right? Two freshmen and a defeated opponent also want to beat the top ten."
"Hahaha, oh my god, I'm dying of laughter!"
The woman who had been speaking instantly turned red in the face. Yang Luohe tugged at her hand and said, "The competition has just begun. It's not certain who will have the last laugh yet. Don't pay attention to those people!"
After Yang Luohe finished speaking, her gaze unconsciously fell on Ji Jiuying. In fact, she was also unsure of herself, but now she could only trust the few of them.
Qi Feng glanced smugly at Ji Jiuying and Feng Yu, but Ji Jiuying and Feng Yu were only focused on watching the battle on the stage and didn't even spare him a glance. Qi Feng knew he was being frivolous, so he ignored them.
Bang!
Liang Guoyuan's body was thrown off the stage. Li Wan looked at him disdainfully until Luo Beiyue announced that Li Wan of the Weapon Sect had won!
"In the third match, Li Wan from the Weapon Sect will face off against Li Wan from the Formation Sect."
The faces of the people from the Formation Sect darkened even more. Their Formation Sect's Li Guoyuan had just lost to Li Wan, and now it was their Formation Sect's turn to lose again.
But these were all randomly selected, so you can't blame anyone else.
"Go to Luo Beiyang, the Heavenly Class!"
Luo Beiyang is Luo Beiyue's younger brother, but the difference in their talents is quite large. Soon, Luo Beiyang was defeated, and the people from the Array Sect immediately turned red in the face.
After three matches, their Array Sect has already eliminated two people from the Heavenly Class!
"The fourth match: Li Wan from the Weaponry Sect versus the Pill Sect!"
Upon hearing this, the people from the Formation Sect breathed a sigh of relief. The Pill Sect would certainly not let the Weapon Sect continue fighting like this, so they sent out Feng Ling'er, who was also among the top ten.
Feng Ling'er is Feng Qingxue's half-sister. Although she is not as talented as Feng Qingxue, she is still quite strong.
Ji Jiuying sensed the fluctuations in the bond of love, and her clear eyes met the dark pupils beneath the mask.
【What's wrong, Yue?】
[Jiu'er, I've been here for half an hour, and you've only looked at me twice!]
Ji Jiuying: ······
