Chapter 280

The grand event of the two academies ushered in the exciting finals with ups and downs.

In the last three days, the prodigies of the two academies took turns to go on stage, setting off wave after wave of climaxes.

This year's grand event was special because Chen Gu of the Celestial Court had challenged the various Kings for many days in a row. His limelight had almost overshadowed all the students of the two academies, and the topic of discussion far surpassed that of the grand event itself.

Fortunately, when there were only a few days left before the finals, he suddenly disappeared and no longer caused any big commotion.

This made the teachers of the True Martial Academy heave a sigh of relief, and the attention of the spectators and students of the two academies returned to the grand event.

In the past few days, the process of the grand event could be said to be treacherous and ever-changing, with many upsets happening.

The first was Chen Buqi of the Thousand Smelting Sacred Sect, who went on stage with his eyes covered in the semifinals. It was said that his extreme organ, the Flower of Truth Eye, was overdrawn, and he had no choice but to cover his eyes to fight his opponent.

There were many different opinions as to why he suddenly couldn't use his eyes.

Some said that he had a needle's eye because he peeped on female students bathing, while others said that he had fought with Chen Gu of the Celestial Court in private, just like Hong Taiyi, and that he had overexerted himself.

The different versions of the rumors were very different, and no one knew which one was true and which one was false. They only knew that he had lost this battle without any suspense, and thus missed the finals.

Then there was Ye Qingshuang of the True Martial Academy. She had an epiphany in the semifinals, and she had unbelievably defeated the number one of the Hidden Dragon Ranking from the Mystic Arts Academy.

She had made it into the finals for the first time, and she was the only student in the finals who wasn't a King.

This caused many students who had placed their bets to lose miserably. After all, Ye Qingshuang's original ranking wasn't high, but who would have thought that her strength would increase several times after an epiphany?

Because of this, the strength of the Martial Sage Physique became a hot topic of discussion.

There were experts who were accidentally eliminated, and there were weaklings who were lucky to win, but there were also experts who maintained their usual standards.

Qi Zeyan of the South Flower Sacred Land fought with Chen Gu of the Celestial Court, and his condition didn't change at all, and he went straight into the finals.

Almost none of his opponents were able to block a single sword strike from him. Even kings of the same level were knocked off the stage by the tenth sword strike.

He became the most popular person in the entire event, and countless people bet that he would become the champion of the event. Moreover, it was very likely that he would be rewarded by the Great Confucian Scholar himself.

In the midst of the intense battle, one person was constantly being mentioned, and one question was constantly being asked.

"Where is Chen Gu? Where did he go? "

Over the next few days, no matter where one walked in the True Martial Academy, one could often hear students discussing this topic.

Ever since his battle with Qi Zeyan, he had been keeping a low profile and had not caused any major disturbances.

This made countless students and even teachers feel regretful. How good would it be if Chen Gu could participate in the Feng Yun Grand Meet? If that was the case, the finals would definitely be much more exciting.

Countless people were asking about Chen Gu's whereabouts. Even the various powers had sent out spies to inquire about his whereabouts. Unfortunately, they had found nothing.

"You asked me where Chen Gu is? How would I know? "

During this period, some nosy people approached Chen Buqi and asked him this question.

Many people speculated that Chen Buqi's eye disease was related to Chen Gu, and that he should be the last person to fight him.

When Chen Buqi heard people mention Chen Gu, he gnashed his teeth in hatred.

"I don't know where he went. If that bastard shows up again, I won't let him go!"

Most people gave up when they couldn't get any information from Chen Buqi. However, there were also some smart people who approached Shi Jian.

"You have a good relationship with Chen Gu, but you sent people to deal with him that day. You must have some ulterior motives, don't you? Do you know how he is now? "

Mu Ziyu asked Shi Jian with a nervous expression on her pretty face.

She didn't know why she was so concerned about Chen Gu. He had only been gone for a few days, but she was already worried that something might have happened to him.

Mu Ziyu was an important partner and Chen Gu's friend. Shi Jian did not hide anything from her and told her the truth.

"Brother Chen had a fight with Chen Buqi and my clan's Shi Polu that day. He seemed to have an epiphany halfway through the fight and left first.

"He should be fine. If I'm not mistaken, he should be breaking through to immortal-level at the moment."

Mu Ziyu's eyes opened wide when she heard that. "He's fighting two Kings at the same time? That guy's crazy! "

Although she said that, she was relieved in her heart.

Without Gu Chen messing things up, the last day of the finals had finally arrived.

On this day, countless people swarmed into the True Martial Academy's square. There were even more people than when the event started.

According to the statistics, the total number of people who were there was close to 855,555. Many of them had traveled long distances from various states just to watch the finals.

Even the Middle Earth Empire's Crown Prince, Ji Zefang, was there personally. He said that he would give out the Royal Gift together with the Royal Advisor, Shen Xudong, after the end of the competition.

The details of the gift were not mentioned, but everyone was looking forward to it. How could it be a small gift from the Royal Family?

Who would be recognized as the most talented person and receive such a significant prize?

The geniuses from all the Sacred Grounds and Glory Sects were looking forward to it. They hoped that they would be the lucky one.

The entire academy was in an uproar. Amidst the audience's enthusiasm, the top ten geniuses of the event entered the venue.

"Qi Zeyan! Qi Zeyan! "

"Yao Yufei! Yao Yufei! "

The audience was cheering for the geniuses that they respected the most. They were looking forward to them being amazing today.

"Ye Qingshuang! Ye Qingshuang! "

Some of the weaker voices were cheering for the college's new superstar who made it to the finals for the first time. They were looking forward to her creating another miracle today.

Ye Qingshuang's expression was cold as she faced all of that. There was only the upcoming finals in her mind.

On the VIP seats, the Crown Prince, Ji Zefang, looked at the top ten geniuses and asked Shen Xudong who was sitting next to him.

"Master, will Chen Gu show up today? I've heard of his name when I was in Luoyang. "

The Crown Prince's eyes were clear and he had a gentle and refined appearance.

"I'm not sure. No one knows where he is." Shen Xudong shook his head.

"If that's the case, then it's going to be troublesome."

The Crown Prince's eyebrows knitted together as if he had encountered a difficult problem.

After Vice Principal Qi announced the start of the finals, the square once again burst into cheers. The cheers were so loud that even dozens of miles away, they could still be heard.

Dozens of miles away, in stark contrast to the lively event, a person was sitting alone in a dark cave in the mountains. His aura was fluctuating.

His eyes were closed, and a Dao voice was echoing in his heart. His body was wrapped in a dazzling light.

This person was Gu Chen. After experiencing ten King Tiers and nine fierce battles, he had been meditating for a few days. Finally, he was at the crucial moment of his breakthrough!

At this time, no one noticed that the sky above his seclusion area was changing. Thunder clouds were rolling. It seemed like something big was about to happen.

If one were to say that someone had noticed this scene, it would probably be an ape covered in white fur, looking at the treacherous sky, guarding the gloomy cave entrance, and roaring towards the sky.
