Chapter 329 -0324: The Grand Competition Begins

“The Yin Family possesses a bloodline connected to their eyes, and Yin Chengzhuang’s ‘Yin Flame Pupil’ is even more immensely powerful, able to kill a person with just one glance.”

Beside him, Shang Han, who bore hostility towards Chen Yu, chimed in with a hint of schadenfreude.

The Yin Family was one of the ten great Ancient Clans, and even Shang Han did not feel confident in withstanding a few moves from Yin Chengzhuang.

In other words, if Chen Yu were to encounter Yin Chengzhuang, his death would almost be certain.

After sizing each other up for a while, the three major academies fell silent.

The academy competition was about to begin, and there would be plenty of opportunities to make a move.

After the No Demon Academy group settled in, Chen Yu paid no more attention to the rest and concentrated on comprehending the “Heavenly Demon Secret Pattern Record.”

This year’s competition was filled with strong contenders. With his current strength, if he were not careful, there was a possibility he could fall.

The Red Flame King lay beside him, presumably cultivating.

With the competition spanning a long time, Chen Yu didn’t feel confident leaving the Red Flame King at the academy; he might prove to be of help at a critical moment.

A day later, Sky Star Academy arrived.

Sky Star Academy was also led by its vice president, with all personnel riding on a palace-shaped flying artifact.

The number one figure from Sky Star Academy, Duan Xinyue, stood proudly in a black dress, her curvaceous figure and her beautiful face wearing a smile that was both confident and seductive. She seemed like a fiery spirit, the complete opposite of the Ice Mountain Fairy Ye Luofeng.

Duan Xinyue glanced over the other three major academies and greeted Yuan Chen first.

“New Moon!”

From Yunyang Academy, the second-ranked Tang Mo, for the first time initiated conversation, looking towards Duan Xinyue.

Many from the four major academies knew that Tang Mo fancied Duan Xinyue, but Duan Xinyue was not at all interested in the low-profile and dull Tang Mo.

All four major academies had arrived early so that they had more time to observe the participating students from each academy.

After all, the information in reports was not always accurate.

Meanwhile,

Martial Artists from all over Yun Zhao Country, showing interest in this grand event, raced to arrive at Liuyun Mountain Range.

Gradually, more and more Martial Artists gathered in the Liuyun Mountain Range, turning the previously quiet atmosphere lively.

One day.

“The Yun Zhao National Academy competition, begins now!”

A man in a Golden Cloud Robe from Yunyang Academy spoke loudly. His booming voice immediately spread in all directions, clearly entering the minds of everyone listening.

This man was not only the vice president of Yunyang Academy but also a member of the Yun Zhao Royal Family, holding a high position and wielding great power.

All students watched intently, knowing that it was time for the competition rules to be announced.

The competition rules of the grand event would have a certain degree of influence on the overall results and the victory or loss.

“I wonder what the competition rules will be?”

New novel 𝓬hapters are published on ƒreewebɳovel.com.

Jin Zhuo Peak muttered to himself.

The rules for each session of the academy competition were set by the senior executives of the four major academies, who signed a contract not to disclose them.

“The first stage, elimination round. All participating students, please choose a Token.”

The man in the Golden Cloud Robe waved his hand, and golden clouds tumbled in the air, producing nearly a thousand gray Tokens.

All students showed expressions of confusion; this competition’s rules were indeed different from previous sessions.

Without knowing the reason, all the contestants still leaped up and chose a Token for themselves.

“The first stage, you will enter a trial location. To pass this stage, each contestant must collect ten white Tokens and ten black Tokens!”

Finally, the competition rules were announced to the world.

“Black and white Tokens?”

Many students showed puzzled looks.

Didn’t everyone receive a gray Token?

But just then, the gray surface of all Tokens gradually faded, revealing either black or white colors.

“Black!”

Chen Yu’s eyes flashed, and he immediately placed the Token in his storage bag.

The moment others learned of their Token colors, they quickly stowed their Tokens in storage bags as well and surveyed their surroundings.

The rules of the first stage stipulated that collecting ten black Tokens and ten white Tokens was required to pass.

In other words, even if someone collected twenty white Tokens, it would not be considered passing. If the colors of the Tokens in one’s possession were rashly revealed, even one’s usual friends might turn against them.

“Next, rankings will be determined based on the pairs of black and white Tokens during the first stage, with extra rewards for the top ten.”

The vice president of Yunyang Academy announced the final competition rule.

Upon hearing this, the top contenders from the four major academies immediately smiled.

“Heh heh, this year’s academy competition is quite interesting.”

Yin Chengzhuang smiled, his dark eyes sweeping over all the contestants.

This year’s competition format was outright plundering; the more Tokens you plundered, the higher your rank would be, and you could receive the rewards for the first stage.

Yunyang Academy’s top figure, Yunhai Zhen, also had a glint of excitement in his eyes, evidently intrigued.

In previous years, the first stage was just an ordinary elimination round, lacking any competitive edge or fighting spirit.

But now, the first stage would also determine rankings and distribute certain rewards.

The students from outside the four major academies instantly turned pale.

With their strength, after entering the trial, wouldn’t they only be relegated to being plundered?

“Once you enter, if you encounter students from the four major academies, hand over your Tokens immediately and seek their protection!”

One of the academy’s high-level executives strategized for their students.

“The trial begins!”

The vice president of Yunyang Academy threw out an ancient silver stone disk.

At the same time, the vice presidents from the other three major academies flew out as well.

Whizz!

The four vice presidents simultaneously performed hand seals, casting mysterious characters that imprinted into the stone disk.

“The four vice presidents each have a part of the sealing keys.”

The Red Flame King’s eyes flashed with a sharp light.

“Open!”

The four shouted in unison.

Buzzing~

The space above the stone disk vibrated violently, and suddenly “whoosh,” a fissure tore open.

An ancient and special aura seeped out from within.

“Hurry inside!”

In an instant,

All the competing students, one after another, soared into the air.

Suddenly, a terrifying power enveloped the area, pressing toward the passageway.

Numerous students who had reached the vicinity were forcibly pushed back, coughing up fresh blood.

Swoosh!

Out of nowhere, an astonishingly fierce sword light aimed directly at the spatial passageway appeared.

Ye Chengfeng, as if transforming into a sword light phantom, entered the spatial passageway with a speed far surpassing others.

Immediately after,

Whoosh!

A golden figure, wrapped in a dazzling golden flame, blasted away several top warriors and rushed into the spatial passageway.

“Yunhai Zhen! Such strong True Qi!”

Jin Zhuo Peak, who was forced to retreat, exclaimed.

Swish! Swish!

Following that, Duan Xinyue and Yuan Chen, successively entered as well.

After the top students from the four major academies entered, other students from the same academies scrambled to get in, with students from outside the major academies being the last.

“Is the first stage of this competition too cruel?”

“With only ten black and white Tokens allowing advancement, that means over ninety percent of the students will be eliminated in the first round.”

Many of the later-informed academy leaders exclaimed in surprise.

To collect Tokens, students must engage in a merciless battle.

The elimination rate for the first stage had never been so high before.

“Ladies and gentlemen, you may not know this, but this trial ground is a new secret realm discovered by the Yun Zhao Royal Family last year. That is to say, this is the first exploration!”

The Vice Dean of Yunyang Academy spoke.

“A new secret realm!”

Many of the high-level officials from the academies, including some excited cultivators, immediately showed eagerness in their eyes.

Every time, the first stage of the competition is almost always an adventure trial.

These trial grounds are treasure lands far superior to ordinary secret realms.

That’s why weaker academies also participate, sometimes with notable gains.

And this time, the first stage of the trial is an untouched treasure land!

“As you know, a secret realm that has never been explored holds the greatest opportunities, so correspondingly, the rules for this first stage are harsher.”

The Vice Dean of Yunyang Academy spoke again.

…

Swoosh!

Chen Yu emerged from the spatial passageway, feeling his body suddenly weigh down, accompanied by a sense of dizziness and discomfort.

He steadied his landing.

It was an ancient forest, with trees so thick and vegetation so lush, all emanating an aura of ancientness.

“Ah, Blood Transformation Grass that is two hundred years old!”

Chen Yu caught a glimpse of a dark red herb next to an ancient tree.

“To find two-hundred-year-old medicinal herbs so easily!”

However, Blood Transformation Grass is quite common, and at two hundred years old, it isn’t very valuable.

Moreover, the easy discovery of a two-hundred-year-old precious material indicated that the resource level here was very high.

Therefore, Chen Yu did not rush to collect the Blood Transformation Grass. Instead, he released the Iron Moon Strange Insect to scout the surrounding environment.

Just as the Iron Moon Strange Insect flew out,

“Hm, someone’s here?”

Chen Yu became vigilant, then relaxed again.

Behind Chen Yu, suddenly, a student at the Innate Middle Stage appeared.

Seeing the No Demon Academy insignia on Chen Yu’s clothes, the male student immediately showed a terrified look, “Don’t kill me, I’m willing to hand over my Token, please let me follow senior!”

Chen Yu turned to look at the student, whose clothes did not belong to any of the four major academies, clearly indicating he was from a second-tier academy.

“Eh? Early Innate?”

At that moment, the student also scrutinized Chen Yu, showing a puzzled expression.

Squashing the surprise on his face, the student approached Chen Yu with a Token in his outstretched hands, “You must be the Vice Dean’s disciple, mustn’t you? You surely possess exceptional talent and strength, otherwise the Vice Dean wouldn’t have taken notice of you.”

The male student wore a flattering smile, but as he came within three meters of Chen Yu,

He suddenly lunged forward, a curved knife appearing in his hand, and viciously swung it.

“Ha-ha, die!”

The male student revealed a ferocious grin.

The curved knife he flung was spinning rapidly, like a crescent moon, cutting through the air with a sharp whirring sound, aiming to slash Chen Yu.

“Heh heh, the Vice Dean’s disciple of No Demon Academy, surely the Vice Dean misused his powers to grant you this opportunity, but you are seeking death, daring to participate in the Great Competition with mere Early Innate stage!”

The male student laughed loudly.

He ranked within the top ten in his own academy as someone at the Innate Middle Stage.

In this trial secret realm, the outside world could not see within, or else he wouldn’t risk assassinating a disciple of the Vice-Dean of No Demon Academy.

The next moment, however, the male student’s smile froze.

Cling-clang!

The sharp curved knife he flung, as if hitting an iron wall, trembled violently and struggled to advance.

“This… senior…”

The male student turned pale with fear, trembling, ready to plead.

Snap! Swoosh!

Chen Yu reached out, grabbed the knife, and flung it forcefully.

A flash of gold, and the sharp curved knife slid across the male student’s neck, blood spattered, and the head fell to the side.

Chen Yu walked over, took the storage bag from the body, and began a careful examination.

“Lucky me, a white Token!”

Chen Yu smiled, taking the Token and anything else he found valuable with him.
