Chapter 324

"The Yin family has the bloodline of the Eye, and Yin Chengzhuang's Yin Flame Eyes are even more powerful. He only needs one look to kill."

Shang Han, who harbored hostility toward Chen Yu, said with a hint of schadenfreude in her voice.

The Yin family was one of the Ten Ancient Clans. Even Shang Han might not be able to take a few hits from Yin Chengzhuang.

In other words, if Chen Yu ran into Yin Chengzhuang, he would definitely die.

The three academies looked at each other for a while, then quieted down.

The competition was coming up soon. There would be plenty of opportunities to make a move.

After everyone from the Demon-Free Academy settled down, Chen Yu didn't care about anything else and focused on the Record of the Sky Demon Secret Patterns.

There were too many strong cultivators in this year's competition. With his strength, he might die if he wasn't careful.

The Flame King was lying on the side, probably cultivating.

The competition would take a long time. Chen Yu didn't feel safe leaving the Flame King in the academy. Maybe the guy could help him at a critical moment.

One day later, the Heavenly Star Academy arrived.

The Vice Principal of the Heavenly Star Academy also led the team. All the members rode on a flying device shaped like a palace.

The number one of the Heavenly Star Academy was Duan Xinyue. She wore a black dress and stood proudly with her curvaceous figure. A confident and alluring smile appeared on her pretty face. She was like a fiery demon, the complete opposite of the Ice Fairy.

Duan Xinyue glanced at the other three academies and greeted Yuan Chen first.

"Xinyue!"

Tang Mo, who was ranked second in the Yunyang Academy, spoke for the first time.

Many people in the four academies knew that Tang Mo liked Duan Xinyue, but Duan Xinyue wasn't interested in the low-key Tang Mo at all.

The four academies all arrived early so that they had more time to observe the participants.

After all, the information in the reports might not be accurate.

At the same time.

All the martial artists in the Yunzhao Nation who were interested in the competition also rushed to the Drifting Cloud Mountains.

Gradually, more and more cultivators gathered in the Flowing Cloud Mountain Range. The previously silent atmosphere became lively.

One day.

"The Yunzhao Nation's Academy Competition begins now!"

The middle-aged man on the Yunyang School's side, who was wearing a robe with golden clouds, said in a clear voice. His loud and clear voice immediately spread in all directions, clearly entering everyone's mind.

This person was not only the Deputy Dean of the Yunyang School, but also a member of the royal family.

All the students looked over. They knew that it was time to announce the rules of the competition.

The rules of the tournament had a certain degree of influence on the outcome of the tournament.

"What are the rules of the competition?"

Jin Zhuofeng muttered.

Every year's Academy Tournament was jointly decided by the higher-ups of the four academies, and they had to sign a contract to keep it a secret.

"The first round is the elimination round. Every participant can choose a token."

The golden-cloud-robed man waved his hand. Golden clouds rolled in the air, and nearly a thousand gray tokens appeared.

All the students were puzzled. The rules of the competition this time were indeed different from the previous years.

Even though they didn't know the reason, all of the participants still leaped into the air and chose a token each.

"In the first segment, all of you will enter a training ground, and the participating students must gather 65 white command tokens and 65 black command tokens to be considered to have passed the first segment!"

Finally, the rules of the competition were announced.

"Black and white tokens?"

Many students were puzzled.

Didn't everyone get a gray token?

All of a sudden, the gray color on the surface of the tokens gradually faded, and they turned black or white.

"Black!"

Chen Yu's eyes flickered, and he immediately put the token into his storage bag.

The moment the others knew the color of the token, they also put their tokens into their storage bags, and started to pay attention to their surroundings.

The rules of the first segment were that the participant had to gather 65 black and 65 white command tokens to be considered to have passed the first segment.

In other words, even if you gathered 75 white command tokens, you still wouldn't be considered to have passed the first segment. If you rashly expose the color of the token in your hand, your good friends might attack you.

"Secondly, the ranking in the first segment will be based on the number of black and white command tokens. The top ten will receive additional rewards."

The Vice Principal of the Yunyang Academy announced the last rule.

Hearing this, the top experts of the four academies instantly wore smiles on their faces.

"Hehe, this year's Academy Tournament is going to be interesting."

Yin Chengzhuang smiled, and his pair of gray eyes glanced at all the students.

The format of the Academy Tournament was basically to plunder. The more command tokens one got, the higher their ranking would be, and the more rewards they would receive in the first segment.

The eyes of Yun Haizhen, the number one student of the Yunyang Academy, also flickered. Apparently, he was a bit interested.

In the past, the first segment was an ordinary elimination round, without any competitiveness or fighting spirit.

But now, the first segment would also determine the ranking, and some rewards would be given out.

The faces of the students outside the four academies instantly turned pale.

With their strength, wouldn't they be plundered after entering the trial?

"After entering the trial, if you meet any students from the four academies, hand over the command tokens and ask for their protection!"

A senior management of the academies gave advice to their students.

"The trial begins!"

The Vice Principal of the Yunyang Academy threw out an ancient silver stone plate.

At the same time, the Vice Principals of the other three academies flew out.

Buzz! Buzz!

The four Vice Principals simultaneously performed hand seals, and a series of mysterious words were imprinted on the stone plate.

"The four Vice Principals each have a part of the seal key."

A sharp light flashed in the Red Flame King's eyes.

"Open!"

The four of them shouted at the same time.

Buzz! Buzz!

The space above the stone plate fluctuated violently, and suddenly, a crack was torn open.

An ancient and special aura leaked out from it.

"Hurry up and enter!"

In an instant.

All the participating students flew into the air.

But all of a sudden, a terrifying aura pressed down on the passageway.

Many students who arrived nearby were forced back, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, a shocking cold sword light appeared, pointing directly at the space passage.

Ye Chengfeng seemed to have turned into a shadow of sword light, and with a speed far faster than everyone else, he was the first to enter the space passage.

Then.

Whoosh!

A golden figure with a layer of dazzling golden flames blasted away several top experts, and rushed into the space passage.

"Yun Haizhen! What a powerful True Qi! "

Jin Zhuofeng, who was next to him, was forced back.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Then, Duan Xinyue and Yuan Chen entered one after another.

After the top candidates of the four academies entered, the other students of the four academies fought to enter, and finally, the students outside the four academies.

"Isn't the first segment of this year's competition too cruel?"

"Ten black and white command tokens to advance, which means that more than 45% of the students will be eliminated in the first round."

Many senior management of the academies who only learned the rules later were shocked.

To collect the command tokens, one had to kill each other.

In the past, the elimination rate in the first segment had never been this high.

"You may not know this, but this trial is a new mystic realm discovered by the Yunzhao royal family last year. In other words, this is the first time it has been explored!"

Vice Dean Yunyang said.

"A new mystic realm!"

Many senior management of the academies, including the cultivators who came to join in the fun, were excited.

Almost every time, the first segment of the competition was a trial and adventure.

These trial grounds were treasures that far surpassed ordinary mystic realms.

Because of this, the academies with weaker abilities would also participate, and sometimes, they would gain something.

This time, the trial ground of the first segment turned out to be a treasured land that had never been explored before!

"As we all know, mystic realms that have never been explored before have the greatest opportunities. Therefore, the rules of the first segment are relatively cruel."

Vice Dean Yunyang said again.

…

Whoosh!

As soon as Chen Yu passed through the space passage, his body suddenly felt heavy, and he felt dizzy and uncomfortable.

He controlled his body and landed steadily.

This was an ancient forest. The surrounding trees were thick and strong, and the vegetation was lush, exuding an ancient aura.

"Eh? A 755-year-old Blood Dissolving Herb!"

Chen Yu glanced over and saw a dark red herb next to an ancient tree.

"I can't believe I found a 755-year-old herb so easily!"

However, the Blood Dissolving Herb was a very common herb. It was only 755 years old, so its value was not high.

Besides, the fact that he could find a 755-year-old herb so easily proved that the grade of the resources here was very high.

Therefore, Chen Yu was not in a hurry to collect the Blood Dissolving Herb. Instead, he released the Ironmoon Bug to investigate the surrounding environment.

As soon as the Ironmoon Bug flew out …

"Eh? Someone's here?"

Chen Yu raised his guard, but he immediately relaxed.

A mid-stage Connate Realm student suddenly appeared behind Chen Yu.

When the male student saw the insignia of the No Demon College on Chen Yu's clothes, he immediately looked terrified. "Don't kill me. I am willing to hand over the token. Please let me follow you, Senior!"

Chen Yu turned around and looked at the student. Judging from his clothes, he was not from one of the four big colleges. He was obviously a student from a second-rate college.

"Eh? Early-Stage Connate Realm? "

At this moment, the student also sized up Chen Yu carefully with a strange look on his face.

He hid the bewildered look on his face, held the token with both hands, and slowly approached Chen Yu. "You must be the Vice Dean's disciple. You must be talented and strong. Otherwise, the Vice Dean wouldn't have taken a fancy to you."

The male student had a flattering smile on his face. However, when he was less than three meters away from Chen Yu, the male student suddenly dashed out.

A scimitar appeared in his hand, and he swung it violently.

"Ha ha! Go to hell!"

The male student revealed a sinister smile.

The scimitar he swung spun rapidly like a crescent moon, bringing with it a sharp gust of wind as it slashed towards Chen Yu.

"Hehe, the Vice Dean's disciple of the No Demon College. I think the Vice Dean must have used his power to give you a slot. However, you are really courting death. A mere early-stage Xiantian dares to participate in the tournament!"

The male student laughed loudly.

As a mid-stage Xiantian, he was ranked top ten in his college.

However, this was the trial mystic realm, and the outside world couldn't see what was happening inside. Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken the risk to harm the Vice Dean's disciple.

However, in the next moment, the male student's smile stiffened.

Ding!

The sharp scimitar he swung seemed to have collided with an iron wall. It trembled violently, and it couldn't move an inch forward.

"This … Senior …"

The male student's face was filled with fear. His body trembled, and he was about to beg for mercy.

Pa! Xiu!

Chen Yu stretched out his hand, grabbed the scimitar, and swung it forcefully.

A golden light flashed, and the sharp scimitar slashed across the male student's neck. Blood splattered, and his head fell to the side.

Chen Yu walked over, and took the interspatial bag from the male student's body.

"Not bad, a white token!"

Chen Yu smiled, and took away the tokens and the ones that he was interested in.
