The representatives of True Dragon Academy have finally arrived.
Qilin Academy held a grand welcoming ceremony, and Dean Kintian also attended the welcome event. Leading the team from True Dragon Academy was the academy's president, Michael Arlong.
Du Diwei sat among the competition team and quietly introduced to Guan Yue and others, "Dean Michael Arlong is a Disciple Mage, and his father is a prince of Vast Empire. He is very arrogant and has a nickname in Vast Empire: Turkey King. He is all about extravagance, values status, and is quite unsociable."
"Turkey King? Interesting," Lu Tao said with a slight smile. He Bi whispered, "Such a teacher will have higher expectations for students, which will put more pressure on them."
"Yes, you're right," Du Diwei praised He Bi and continued with his introduction. "The few students sitting behind him are the main representatives of True Dragon Academy. They can be considered the young talents of Vast Empire. The one in the blue Long Robe is Glanwy, ranked fifth. He is a Warrior and very cunning, often leaving his opponents severely injured. The one in the green outfit is Rugen; he is a Mage and quite formidable, known as a killer at True Dragon Academy. His rank is fourth. The third-ranked is that girl in the bright red outfit named Georgina; she is a Mind Master known as Schemer. She often uses underhanded tactics to ensure that boys cannot have descendants."
At this point in the introduction, everyone laughed; the implication of not having descendants was clear!
Du Diwei continued, "The second-ranked is that big-bearded guy in the yellow coat named Nudaximen. He is a Warrior skilled in defense but can deliver powerful surprise attacks. Many are no match for his single strike. The first place goes to that beautiful woman in the white long dress named Fiskaya; she is a very peculiar Warrior, and as a Warrior, her Mage skills are also outstanding. She possesses Combat Power from both major disciplines."
"What? Possessing Combat Power from both major disciplines? How is that possible!" Jiang Tianlan exclaimed in surprise. Jiang Tianlan, Xiahou Xiong, and Guan Yue were now like strangers to each other; they did not interfere with one another, but their mutual hatred remained unresolved. They were simply enduring for now.
"What's impossible about it? Lu Tao is currently cultivating Mage techniques and will also become a Disciple proficient in both Warrior and Mage disciplines in the future," He Bi explained from the side.
Du Diwei concluded, "Everyone who came this time has reached High-Quality or even Peak of the Human Realm; we can only fight with all our might to have even a glimmer of hope for victory."
"If we follow our plan, we can arrange it this way," He Bi suggested based on the principle of national horse racing but added, "The opponent may require drawing lots to determine the order of participation; if we face them head-on with our strongest members, we might lose this match."
Lu Tao said, "At this point, we can only fight with all our strength. Everyone should not be afraid; no matter who we face, we must give it our all. At least we will be true to our conscience and to the academy that nurtured us."
Hearing Lu Tao's words, Guan Yue silently agreed and nodded, saying, "I support Second Senior Brother's opinion; there's no point in discussing further now; let's see who truly excels on the field."
Du Diwei, He Bi, and Lu Tao all nodded in agreement. Jiang Tianlan was also deep in thought; everyone felt a sense of pressure—their opponents were indeed formidable.
After the welcome ceremony, the participants took a day off.
On this day, all seven students participating in the competition were called by Dean Nantian.
Dean Nantian said to everyone with a very serious expression, "Tomorrow's competition represents the honor of our Southern Source Empire. All Senior Cultivator academies from the Southern Source Empire will send representatives to observe, and some Senior Cultivator academies from other empires will also come to visit. At that time, representatives from some academies may even showcase their skills. Therefore, whether you are a formal team member or a reserve member, you must be well-prepared. We absolutely cannot lose this match. Each of you should be ready for three battles. Students, it is time for you to shine and bring glory to our Qilin Academy and our Southern Source Empire. I wish you all good luck."
Lu Tao immediately responded, "Please rest assured, Dean. We will fight with all our might to achieve victory."
"We will fight."
"We will fight!"
At this moment, Guan Yue, He Bi, Jiang Tianlan, Naiqian, and Xiahou Xiong all had very solemn expressions. In their hearts, there was only one voice: we cannot lose; we cannot bring shame to our Southern Source Empire. Du Diwei also looked very serious. Although he was representing Qilin Academy in the competition against Vast Empire, he still hoped for his Qilin Academy to win! He had learned a lot at Qilin Academy and felt deeply grateful towards it. Moreover, he knew that if he defeated True Dragon Academy at Qilin Academy, he would receive even greater honors upon returning home. Because winners are always sought after.
The dean finally spoke about the rewards for winning.
If they successfully defeated True Dragon Academy:
Each victory would reward one Imperial-Grade Weapon.
All participating team members would receive 2,000 points.
Reserve team members would receive 1,000 points.
All team members would be awarded a Power Advancement Pill.
The enormous rewards made the seven participants show greedy expressions. The dean laughed heartily: "If you want to earn these rewards, go and fight for them. Defeat your opponents in the Arena; then you will be invincible."
The director's speech truly pushed everyone's fighting spirit to the limit. Everyone was eager to showcase themselves in the Arena and defeat their opponents!
Among them, everyone was very eager to obtain the Power Advancement Pill. As long as one swallowed the Power Advancement Pill, they could at least elevate their rank by one level, and if their foundation was solid enough, they might even be able to elevate two levels immediately.
Early the next morning, all the students of Qilin Academy arrived at the battle area early, occupying good spots to watch the high-stakes match between Qilin Academy and True Dragon Academy. They all knew that this match was crucial for the honor of both academies, so both sides took it very seriously. The match was sure to be exciting, and they rarely got to see the true Combat Power of the Inner Courtyard disciples. They wanted to take this opportunity to see just how powerful the Inner Courtyard disciples were and whether they truly represented the highest Combat Power of Qilin Academy.
Over seventy thousand students gathered in the battle area, creating a dense crowd that surrounded Arena One tightly. Lei Dazhuang, Marco, and Sima Xiaosa also arrived early. They helped Huangfu Jiayin and Huangfu Jiayun secure spots for their dormitory. Ever since Teacher He was expelled from the academy, those two dormitories had started interacting again, and their relationship had become even closer than before.
Ouyang Shaohua and Naijia also arrived early; they were equally concerned about this match because their relatives were participating. Zihongfang was also present. Since her last experience, she had become much more low-key, but she still cared about Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian. She had come to understand that Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian was a talented individual worth relying on for a lifetime, and she had no regrets.
In the audience, there were also attendants from various guests, representatives from different sectors of Southern Source Kingdom, and students from other Disciple academies, totaling several thousand people. The total number of spectators on-site nearly exceeded one hundred thousand.
The podium was divided into many tiers with numerous seats arranged, indicating that many distinguished guests would be attending to watch the match. The first to take the stage was the Grand Historian Vice Dean, who represented Qilin Academy in welcoming all the guests, competitors, and royalty present for this match.
As expected, after the Grand Historian Vice Dean took the stage, many representatives from empires and academies, including royal representatives from Vast Empire and Southern Source Empire, took their seats on stage. Finally, Dean Kintian of Qilin Academy accompanied Dean Michael Arlong of True Dragon Academy onto the podium.
Once everyone was seated, Vice Dean Tai Shi Xiao Xiao announced that the formal competition between Qilin Academy—the top youth Disciple academy of Southern Source Empire—and Vast Empire's top youth Disciple academy would now begin.
First, both team captains held a draw to determine the order of appearance.
Lu Tao and Fiskaya stepped onto the podium. Under Tai Shi Xiao Xiao's moderation, they drew lots to decide the order of appearance for both teams.
Lu Tao vs. Glanwy
He Bi vs. Georgina
Du Diwei vs. Rugen
Jiang Tianlan vs. Nudaximen
Guan Yue vs. Fiskaya
After announcing the draw results, He Bi was very excited. This perfectly aligned with their strategy; their first and second ranked competitors faced Jiang Tianlan and Guan Yue respectively while their fifth ranked competitor faced Lu Tao, fourth against Du Diwei, and third against himself. The situation couldn't have been better. Lu Tao and Du Diwei also showed smiles on their faces. Only Jiang Tianlan looked sullen.
He knew that his opponent was the second-ranked member of True Dragon Academy, and the pressure was immense.
However, only Guan Yue was unaware that all the other competitors had borrowed Treasures to aid them in battle, while he foolishly thought he could win solely based on his personal abilities!
After the draw concluded, the highly anticipated match finally began.
First up was Lu Tao versus Glanwy.
Glanwy, dressed in a blue Long Robe, was strikingly handsome and very tall, with an unusually pale complexion that gave him a sickly appearance. He held a long halberd and quietly awaited Lu Tao's arrival. Lu Tao was slightly shorter than him, with a well-proportioned appearance and a confident expression. He walked calmly onto the Arena with a longsword in hand. After exchanging glances, both turned to look at the Host Teacher, who then announced the official start of the first match.
The nearly one hundred thousand spectators held their breath in silence as they watched the opening match between Lu Tao and Glanwy.
"Opening move!" Glanwy shouted as he lunged at Lu Tao with his halberd. Lu Tao stepped back and immediately leaped forward with his sword aimed at Glanwy, declaring, "Sword Sweep for Peace."
After both executed their initial moves as a form of greeting, they quickly channeled their Origin Energy, pouring it into their weapons. Both weapons began to shine brightly, radiating dazzling light. They then distanced themselves from each other to about fifty meters apart and began to engage in offense and defense using their Origin Energy.
