C801 Two Courses Competition
"Oh right, aren't you in closed door cultivation? Why would it also appear in the Cloud Fantasy Heavenly Perfume Restaurant? "
"Could it be that you've also come specifically to see the few prodigies of martial dao?" Ao Hong couldn't help but ask.
"Coincidentally, I was just out having dinner with them. I didn't expect …" Lu Chen smiled helplessly and explained the situation.
"Haha, what a coincidence."
It's all because I've delayed your meal. How about this, we find a restaurant to eat and drink together. It's been over half a year since we've had a proper gathering. "
"Since it's rare to come out, then let's gather." Lu Chen smiled and nodded.
"Alright, Zhang Hongru has recently finished his training. As for Fann Zhongda, why don't we call him over as well?"
"Of course not."
"Unfortunately, Third Prince has been busy recently. Otherwise, he would surely have come personally." Ao Hong seemed to have thought of something and sighed before taking out a sound transmission magic tool. It was a special communication magic tool that could be used to contact Zhang Hongru and Fann Zhongda in time.
"Third Prince?" Zhou Tie's eyes flashed. It seemed that he and Third Prince and Yin Zhi had not met for a long time. Judging from Liu Tie's tone, it seemed that he had encountered some trouble.
Lu Chen was too lazy to think about it. When he met Third Prince and Yin Zhi in the future, he would see what he could do to help him. After all, he still owed him a favor.
Now that they were out, regardless of whether it was his two senior brothers, Lu Qiaoer, or Yao Jie, they were all his friends, so it was a good thing to introduce them to Ao Hong and the others. After all, they were all students of the East Branch, and not only did Ao Hong and the others have a high position within the East Branch, they even had different Martial Tao Family supporting them from behind their backs.
Ao Hong led Lu Chen and the others to another restaurant. Although it was not as luxurious as Cloud Fantasy Heavenly Perfume Restaurant, the standard was still not low. Zhang Hongru and Fann Zhongda, who had received the sound transmission, arrived in less than an hour.
Everyone present were East Campus Student, and Bu Zhan and the rest were friends of Lu Chen. Although they only joined the academy for a short period of time, their breakthroughs caused Ao Hong and the others to be stunned. It had only been two hours, and everyone had already started fighting.
… ….
Time flew. Two months later.
"Thud."
"Knock knock …"
The loud and clear bell sound spread throughout the entire Dagan Academic Palace.
The instant the bell rang, Lu Chen slowly opened his eyes. He shot out two rays of intimidating eyes that were as fast as lightning. He smiled and said to himself, "The competition between the two factions is finally about to begin."
As the sound of his voice faded, the door of the hall opened with a loud bang. The strong wind howled, and Lu Chen's shadow could still be seen there.
Not only Lu Chen, practically all of the students in Dagan Academic Palace walked out of their palaces as soon as they heard the bell chime, and gathered towards the widest central plaza of the academy.
In the central plaza.
Three towering statues that were as imposing as mountains stood in the gale. They were three figures with different faces. Although they were only statues, their facial features were lively. They did not get angry, but they still radiated with an unfathomable amount of power.
In front of the three statues, there was an endless plaza. The floors were all made of white jade, making the entire plaza look clean and tidy.
Not long after the bell rang, streams of light suddenly appeared in the distant sky. They densely covered the sky like a flock of leeches, whistling as they swooped down.
"Swish."
"Swish, swish …"
In less than an hour, the seemingly endless plaza was filled with a black mass of people. Moreover, the streams of light in the sky still did not show any sign of decreasing in number, instead, they increased in number and density, whistling over like a storm.
When Lu Chen appeared in the central plaza, even though he was mentally prepared, he still felt a little surprised. Looking at the black mass of people below, he knew that the number of students in Dagan Academic Palace was far greater than he had imagined.
"Lu Chen."
Just as Lu Chen was about to land, he saw a few figures waving to him. They were Bu Zhan and Lee Mubai. Beside them were Lu Qiaoer and Liu Tie. Obviously, they had been waiting here for a long time.
"You brat, you're finally here."
"Those of us who have yet to fight are all so enthusiastic. With just you alone, are you trying to come up with something big?" Bu Zhan couldn't help but tease him. His relationship with Lu Chen was the best, and he had a cheerful personality, so he often teased Lu Chen. However, it was the kind jokes between friends, so it didn't cause any displeasure.
"Right? Could it be that his cultivation has broken through again? " Lee Mubai also smiled and agreed.
"How could it be that simple? I'm still a grandmaster of martial arts right now, do you really think breaking into the next realm is as easy as eating?" Lu Chen shook his head and smiled bitterly. In the past two months, he didn't train on purpose, but used this time to continue polishing his martial arts.
Previously, at the Cloud Fantasy Heavenly Perfume Restaurant, even though he did not fight with Liu Jingchu and Che Jun, he had, after all, simply exchanged blows. Although these evildoers in the martial way were not comparable to Chen Jinnan, their strength was not to be underestimated.
Since he had to participate, then he would take first place. Not only did he want to defeat Chen Jinnan, he also wanted to obtain the qualifications to enter the Imperial Palace. The only way he could obtain the ranking in Earth Rank was to defeat Chen Jinnan.
"Your strength isn't just based on your cultivation level. You're so abnormal that you can't be described with common sense."
"However, Lu Chen, how much certainty do you have in this competition?"
Yao Jie couldn't help but ask. Although as a friend, he recognized Lu Chen's strength, but let alone winning first place amongst so many young experts, it would be extremely difficult for them to even squeeze into the top ten. After all, other than the few monstrous cultivators on the surface, only the heavens knew that there were still those powerful young experts in Dagan Academic Palace.
Judging from the number of students gathered today, there was a good chance that a few dark horses would appear.
"It's really hard to say."
"However, I won't easily let you take the first place." Lu Chen smiled and suddenly said.
"Are you really going to defeat Chen Jinnan and snatch the first place spot?" Hearing this, not only Yao Jie, even Yao Jie and Lee Mubai gulped. As expected, Liu Tie was truly ferocious. He really wanted to defeat Chen Jinnan and obtain the first position in the competition between the two factions.
"Lu Chen, you can do it!"
"I believe that you will be able to achieve good results." Lu Qiaoer's beautiful eyes lit up as she encouraged Lu Chen.
"Big Sis, that's the position of the top student of both academies. Can you just casually put in some effort to get it?" Yao Jie could not help but roll his eyes. It was not that he did not believe Lu Chen's strength, but that there were too many competitors, so even if you swept your eyes, you would see that the surroundings were densely packed with students. Even if they were not all participating in the competition, perhaps only one-third and two of them were a terrifying number.
Amongst them, there were countless terrifying young experts, and even that Earth Rank expert appeared one after another without end.
"Whose big sister are you talking about?" Lu Qiaoer glared at him, scaring Yao Jie out of his wits. In terms of strength, he was not as good as Lu Qiaoer. Offending the latter was just asking for trouble.
