Chen Li suddenly felt exhausted. Ever since his mother and the others had mysteriously disappeared, this little girl had become even more taciturn. Now, she was like an Ancestor; talking to her was more challenging than cultivating.
He shook his head helplessly and began to plan his next steps. To advance quickly, in addition to talent and hard work, resources were also essential. The Imperial Academy provided a good cultivation environment, but the distribution of resources was very strict. To obtain more resources, one had to achieve excellent results in various competitions and tasks. They, as new students, had just gained the qualifications to participate in competitions and take on tasks.
It seemed it was time to showcase their true skills! A glimmer of excitement flashed in Chen Li's eyes as he slightly raised the corners of his mouth.
"Are you thinking about..." Shen Qingyue furrowed her brows slightly, her cool voice carrying a hint of doubt as her gaze quickly turned speculative towards Chen Li.
Chen Li smirked, revealing a knowing smile. "Previously, new students weren't qualified to participate in the friendship challenge, but now..."
He deliberately elongated his tone, his eyes sparkling with cunning.
Shen Qingyue understood his meaning and nodded lightly without saying more. This pair of siblings—one like a cunning fox and the other like a cold snow lotus—had vastly different personalities but exhibited an astonishing synergy when working together.
Without further ado, they quickly left their residence.
The back mountain of the Imperial Academy was a vast training ground, shrouded in mist year-round with rich Spiritual Energy, making it the best place for students to cultivate and spar. Nine massive Training Platforms rose majestically from the ground, each crafted from incredibly hard obsidian and engraved with complex formations that exuded an ancient and mysterious pressure, instilling both awe and excitement in those who beheld them.
Surrounding the Training Platforms was a bustling crowd; students from various grades packed the area tightly, all craning their necks eagerly to watch the matches taking place on stage. Here, strength reigned supreme, and the victor took all.
Each grade had its own designated Training Platform, with the Ninth Training Platform where the new students were located being the largest and most eye-catching. At this moment on the Ninth Training Platform, two young men were engaged in an intense battle.
One was burly, wielding a giant axe that struck with the force of splitting mountains; the other was agile, dancing with a long sword that moved like a serpent, each strike sharp enough to deftly counter his opponent's attacks.
Boom!
With a loud crash, both were simultaneously knocked back several steps but managed to steady themselves while keeping their gazes warily fixed on each other.
Both of them were outstanding among the new students, one named Kuang and the other Zhao Wuji, both at the first level of Innate cultivation, their strengths being evenly matched.
I think Kuang's giant axe looks more formidable; it won't be long before a winner is determined.
Not necessarily, Zhao Wuji's swordsmanship is unpredictable; he might turn the tables and win!
The surrounding students were buzzing with speculation about the outcome of this match. Chen Li and Shen Qingyue did not rush to the stage but instead found a corner to quietly observe the situation.
Shen Qingyue, who do you think will win? Chen Li asked with interest.
Shen Qingyue glanced at the stage expressionlessly and replied calmly, Kuang will win.
Oh? How can you tell? Chen Li asked curiously.
Shen Qingyue did not answer but pointed at the giant axe in Kuang's hand.
Following her finger, Chen Li noticed a line of small characters engraved on the axe handle: Heavy Mountain.
The Heavy Mountain Axe? Chen Li suddenly realized; this Heavy Mountain Axe is one of the treasures of the Imperial Academy, weighing a thousand pounds, and only someone with immense strength can wield it effortlessly. It seems that Kuang's background is not simple!
Before long, Kuang indeed defeated Zhao Wuji with the power of the Heavy Mountain Axe, winning the match.
Kuang wins!
With the referee's announcement, cheers erupted around them. Many were jubilant over Kuang's victory, while others hung their heads in disappointment, clearly having lost a significant bet.
Especially Kuang, who excitedly leaped toward the Betting Table to claim his share of the hefty winnings, his wild grin revealing a hearty and robust demeanor.
It seems this friendly challenge match is truly a great place to make money!
Chen Li observed the students who had lost their bets with a smirk playing on her lips.
Shall we go have some fun too?
Without waiting for Shen Qingyue's response, she pulled her toward the Registration Office.
To participate in the friendly challenge match, new students needed to pay a Low-Grade Spirit Coin as a registration fee. At the Registration Office, an elderly man dressed in academy attire spoke without looking up, You need to pay one coin to register.
Chen Li didn’t waste words; she tossed out a storage bag and said casually, Bet it all.
The old man took the storage bag and scanned it with his spiritual sense, instantly stunned. He looked up at Chen Li in surprise and said, Are you sure you want to bet it all? I advise you to think carefully about this.
For a newcomer, a Low-Grade Spirit Coin is no small amount. Typically, a new student would be lucky to have a few dozen Spirit Coins on hand. Yet this young man, upon entering the fray, wagered one immediately and put all his Spirit Coins on the line, exuding an air of extravagance that left the elder astonished.
After all, in competitions, opponents are unpredictable. Even if they are of the same age, what if a strong challenger appeared? Wouldn't that be akin to throwing away a meat bun to a dog—utterly wasted?
"Teacher, is there a rule in the academy that prohibits newcomers from betting all their resources?" Chen Li asked innocently, showing no intention of retracting his wager.
"Not exactly," the elder replied with a shake of his head, somewhat helpless. "If you wish to register, then it's up to you."
However, once you sign your name, there's no turning back!
The elder handed the form to the two of them, his expression still serious and solemn. Chen Li smiled faintly at the elder and let his Spiritual Energy surge at his fingertips as he quickly signed the form.
With a sigh, the elder shook his head and muttered to himself, "The youth of today really have no sense of humility."
Before his words could fade away, Shen Qingyue, who had been following Chen Li, placed her Storage Spirit Bag in front of him and succinctly stated, "I’m betting everything too."
The elder stood there in shock: Are there really so many little lunatics these days? These kids are so young; do they really think Spirit Coins are that easy to earn? Even for the wealthy Imperial Academy, students only receive one Spirit Coin per year!
