C452 The Battle of the Three Schools
C452 The Battle of the Three Schools
Within a few days, all the major powers had gathered at the Third Heaven, waiting for the battle to begin.
What puzzled old woman and the dean of the Azure Dragon Academy was that they had received the information that the Qilin Academy did not mention the name list of the Ten-person Candidate.
In other words, the Qilin Academy had given up two spots that could allow them to advance to the top 32.
The arena battle was held as scheduled. The location of the competition was the center of the Third Heaven.
A huge martial stage was built with the combined efforts of hundreds of blacksmiths from the Artifact Refining Association.
The stage was made of a rare alloy. Its strength was comparable to an Earth Rank Fifth Grade Defensive Profound Artifact.
This strength was enough for warriors below the Spirit Martial Stage Level Three to unleash their full potential!
The ring was square in shape, and its four sides were two hundred meters in length. The four sides of the ring were the spectators' area, and it had already been taken over by countless major powers.
Wang Hao, Jia Houwei, and the other geniuses from the Qilin Academy who were participating in the arena competition were located in the north of the arena. The geniuses of the Azure Dragon Academy were located in the south of the arena, while the girls of Phoenix Academy were located in the east of the arena.
Wang Hao glanced around, but he didn't see Zhao Muer.
He thought to himself, Muer is from the Ten-person Candidate of the Phoenix Academy, and she has broken through to the top 32. It's not surprising that she hasn't appeared yet. As long as I make it to the top 32, I will naturally be able to see her."
Jia Houwei seemed very excited. He looked at Rouling who was sitting in the audience and patted his chest confidently.
"Boss, there are so many people participating in the arena matches?"
With a glance, he saw that there were more than a thousand people participating in the arena battle.
Wang Hao said calmly, "Becoming the tenth son will allow one to obtain endless cultivation resources, as well as the personal guidance of a supreme being expert. Naturally, there are many people who wish to participate."
According to the rules, all geniuses of the Three Great Academies who were below thirty years old and above the Heavenly Martial Stage could participate in this competition.
In other words, half of the geniuses of the Essence Martial Continent were gathered in this competition. They were the future and hope of the continent.
At noon, experts were gathered. There were many experts from various major powers who were watching the battle.
Their goal was very simple. They wanted to see if they could choose someone with good talent from this competition.
The academy was after all an academy. When the geniuses reached the age of thirty, the final destination would still be the clans and sects.
"Silence!"
An old voice exploded in everyone's ears. In an instant, the entire Martial Dais fell silent.
Everyone turned their gazes toward the sky and saw an old man with white hair and white beard descending from the sky and landing in the middle of the Martial Dais.
Wang Hao knew this old man, and even those who didn't know him could guess his identity.
He was one of the five Human Exalts, Thousand Chance Elder, who controlled the Destiny Star River.
Everyone shouted in unison, "Greetings, supreme being!"
Heavenly Secret Elder's words carried a supreme dignity that made people want to prostrate themselves in worship.
"The crisis of the continent is approaching. Humans and demons need to nurture a new Supreme Being in order to get rid of this crisis."
"All of you have already known about the plan of the Ten Children. The five of us have promised that all ten of us who can fight until the end will receive the personal guidance of the five of us, as well as sufficient cultivation resources to cultivate to the Divine Martial Peak!"
"Geniuses, the future of mankind needs your help!"
...
Thousand Chance Elder's voice was very calm, but it made one's blood boil as they smelled it. Many warriors who had exceeded the age limit hated the merciless time in their hearts.
They also wanted to fight, to fight for the opportunity to become a supreme being expert!
Jia Houwei was excited as if he had been injected with stimulants. He clenched his fists and said in a deep voice, "My original goal was to become the 'Flowing Cloud Great Emperor' and let this name spread across the entire continent."
"But I have changed my mind now. How could a Divine Martial Stage become the limit of me, Jia Houwei?! I want to become a Supreme. I want to be worshipped by others just like Thousand Chance Elder!"
Wang Hao didn't say much, and his face didn't look like anyone else's. There was a look of excitement on his face.
After seeing four supreme beings, and even deities, he firmly believed in his own limits. He wasn't in the Sovereign Stage, nor was he in this continent.
The arena battle, the ten sons, and the supreme beings were just footprints that would be left behind on his path of cultivation.
Thousand Chance Elder only said a few words before he left the arena. However, his words ignited the competitive spirit of every genius who was about to step onto the arena.
Many geniuses were eager to give it a try. Even if they couldn't fight until the end, they would still fight with all their might.
"This is the order for the two of you to enter the arena."
The number plate given by the dean to Wang Hao and the other disciple of Qilin Academy made them envious.
Wang Hao took the number plate. What surprised him was that he was the first one to appear.
"Since the two of you aren't willing to directly enter the top 32, then you should give the academy more face. It has been many years since the Qilin Academy was able to shine in the arena matches."
Jia Houwei rubbed his fists and said, "Old man, look carefully!"
When he called him old man, the surrounding students were trembling with fear. They did not know Jia Houwei, and at this moment, their hearts were filled with questions.
"Who is this fatty? How dare he address the dean like this?"
What was even more unbelievable was that the dean had a smile on his face, and he did not seem to have the slightest intention of blaming Jia Houwei.
An old man walked onto the arena. The old man wore a grey robe, and his spirit was flickering. He looked like an old and mischievous child.
He cleared his throat, and the arena immediately became silent.
"I think many people here know me, so I don't need to introduce myself."
His words caused many to laugh. The old man's name was Li Hui, and he was a lone Divine Martial expert. His name was Emperor Yang Hui.
Because he didn't belong to any of the major powers in Holy Domain, and he didn't have any juniors or disciples participating in the arena matches, in addition to his great reputation in Holy Domain, Three Great Academies specially invited him to preside over the arena matches.
Including this year's competition, Elder Lee had already presided over six rounds of arena matches. He had personally witnessed the growth and fall of generations of geniuses.
"Everyone should know the rules of the competition. No one is allowed to kill or destroy their cultivation. If necessary, I will intervene and stop them. After all, all of you are the top geniuses of the human race. If I lose one of you, my heart will ache."
After saying that, he took out a roster from his interspatial Essence Ring.
The appearance of the roster caused the atmosphere below the arena to become tense. It immediately became tense. Those who had watched the previous matches knew that this was the first match. It was a battle of honor. No matter which academy the participants were from... They would definitely send out their true experts to fight for a good sign for their side.
Elder Lee seemed to be deliberately keeping them in suspense, and he did not announce the two sides who would fight.
Discussions sounded from all directions as two middle-aged men led by Spiritual Martial Cultivators smiled and chatted.
"Last year's opening battle was a battle between the Phoenix Academy and the Azure Dragon Academy. So, this year, it should be the Qilin Academy's turn, right?"
"That's true. I just don't know who the opponent of the Qilin Academy is."
"It doesn't matter who it is. It's just a defeat anyway. By the way, have you heard? The Three Great Academies each has two spots for the Ten-person Candidate, but the Qilin Academy didn't even mention a single person."
"Report? The Ten-person Candidate is able to enter the top 32. Wouldn't it be even more shameful if we find two weak chickens to fight them?"
"You're right. The Qilin Academy is pretty thick-skinned. Instead of forcing themselves to enter the top 32, it would be better to take out the strongest person and participate in the opening ceremony. It would be more exciting and not to the point where people would look down on them."
"Then, the Qilin Academy must pray that we don't bump into the Azure Dragon Academy. It was said that before the Azure Dragon Academy announced the results, they had selected eight people from the Ten-person Candidate! The six people who were eliminated in the end definitely had the ability to advance to the top 32! Any one of them is not someone the Qilin Academy's students can deal with."
" Sigh, this can't be blamed on the Qilin Academy. The gap between them and the Three Great Academies is just too great. "
"You're right. The disciples recruited by the Azure Dragon Academy and the Phoenix Academy. They were all disciples of various families in the Holy Domain. They had a huge amount of resources provided by their families since they were young. The cultivation techniques and combat techniques they cultivate are all top-notch. Especially the Azure Dragon Academy. How many students were there? How many of them were the future successors of their families? How can the Qilin Academy, which can only recruit students from the 36 outer domains, compare? "
" Let's not talk too much. Let's see who the opponent of the Qilin Academy is! "
Listening to the discussions around him, Elder Lee was very satisfied with the atmosphere he created. He picked up the roster and announced.
"The first match, the opening battle, Qilin Academy, Wang Hao!"
It was expected that Qilin Academy would participate in the opening battle, but what made the audience curious was, who was Wang Hao?
Generally speaking, those who participated in the opening ceremony were all senior students who were close to thirty years old. They had cultivated for a long time and had a high cultivation base. Moreover, they had participated in more than one open battle.
Such a person was generally familiar to everyone. Even if they had never seen him before, they had still heard of him.
However, they had never heard of the Wang Hao who had appeared this year.
Wang Hao walked step by step towards the arena. The gazes of over a thousand people were focused on him.
"Who is this person? Why is he so young?"
Wang Hao's appearance made the audience somewhat confused. There was no other reason. Wang Hao was really too young.
"Is this Wang Hao twenty years old? Could he be a new student who just entered the academy? "
"Is the Qilin Academy joking? They sent a mixed fish to fight the opening battle? ”
The questioning voices entered the ears of the dean of Qilin Academy. He still wore a faint smile on his face, as if he didn't care about these voices at all.
Wang Hao walked onto the arena and nodded slightly at Elder Lee. Elder Lee responded with a smile, but his eyes revealed a look of pleasant surprise.
He was a Divine Martial Stage, and he was able to achieve great prestige in Holy Domain by himself. Naturally, his judgment wasn't bad.
Although Wang Hao did not emit any aura, his natural state made people exclaim in surprise.
He thought to himself, When did the Qilin Academy have such a figure? This is really interesting!"
Elder Lee picked up the roster once again and announced Wang Hao's opponent.
"Azure Dragon Academy, Yin Peng!"
