Next, the competition continued.
The third round was definitely something that was unbearable to recall for disciples in the Southern Academy of purple shirts.
Lyu Kuang, who was very likely to make it into the top five, got knocked out because he was defeated by Liang Feixue. Their only hope, Wang Xiaoshi, who was known for his endurance and unconventional gambit, had the strength that could not be underestimated. However, he was out of luck merely because he encountered Li Muyun, the number one in the Honorable Alliance of Seven.
Li Muyun, the man in all his glory, beat Wang Xiaoshi down from the arena with a single move.
The participants in the Southern Academy of purple shirts were completely eliminated right after the Western Academy of red shirts.
Participants in the Central Academy of white shirts, however, still held strong momentum and did not let their supporters down.
...
In the following fourth round, a handsome youth name
Within the arena. "I didn't think you had the courage to go through with this," The corners of Sun Jiutian's mouth curled in a disdainful sneer. His body was a bit on the heavy side, but not overly obese and he looked very handsome still. Ding Hao's eyes were filled with disdain and had a look of provocation in them. Inwardly, Ding Hao felt calm and unmoved. However, there were some exceedingly over-enthusiastic female disciples amongst the audience. They were screaming wildly and even accused Sun Jiutian of being too arrogant! "Wow, Fourth Brother is certainly popular with all the female disciples these days! I never thought he would immediately be the public enemy of females after meeting Ding Hao." Elder Chen Qidong stroked his chin in surprise. "He looks rather puny with his small white face, how can he ever be worthy of being Fourth Brother's opponent?" "You women are totally short-sighted, not capable of seeing far!" The
There was hardly any finesse in this stroke! It was like an ordinary person, untrained and uninitiated in combat skills, who was carelessly flailing the blade! To the naked eye, that move could even be a random, reflex movement when one was stretching to shake off all weariness. Everyone below the dueling ring was so astonished that they could hardly breathe. But only a few, such as Li Lan, Li Muyun, Liang Feixue, Lyu Kuang, Chen Sheng as well as a few of the best disciples among those who were listed, felt a sudden tingling sensation. All of the young prodigies all felt the same inexplicable excitement when they witnessed the careless stroke. Farther away from the arena. High above the stands sat the greatest disciples of the three generations, Guan Feidu, and a few others. At the very same moment, they too were so shocked that some even rose to their feet with disbelief, staring blankly at the amazing boy clothed in green who was standing
Ding Hao kept silent as he watched them leave. Suddenly he was being assailed by a mob of fellow students from the Eastern Academy who steered him down the stage and lifted him off his feet, tossing him in the air in celebration. As an ordinarily well-likable and approachable person, Ding Hao enjoyed tremendous popularity among the common disciples. He had a friendly and affable charm that enabled anyone to be close with him and joke with him. He was not like the rest of the seeded contestants who constantly wore an air of arrogance about them that made them distant from other disciples. Standing within the thick of the crowd. Three people were watching Ding Hao being mobbed by his admirers and supporters. Li Canyan, Xiao Chengxuan, and Li Yiruo were looking at him enviously. Would there be anyone who would never yearn to be the center of everyone's attention? Would there be anyone who would not want to bask in the cheers and admirati
Li Lan himself knew clearly that he should celebrate with other disciples to increase his popularity in Eastern Academy of green shirts, yet he chose to leave after a moment of hesitation. On the one hand, to prepare for the tougher race tomorrow, he continued to regulate breathing to restore his strength and adjusted his body to the best condition. On the other hand, the pride that had long been deep inside made him deeply hate such scenes. Li Lan's refusal undoubtedly made the disciples of Eastern Academy of green shirts feel embarrassed and disappointed. Fortunately, when their eyes were fixed on Ding Hao, Ding Hao immediately said with a smile, "Well, it'll be my pleasure to have fun with you guys. And thank you for sparing no effort to cheer for senior brother Li Lan and me!" "Yeah! Long live senior brother Ding!" The disciples of the Eastern Academy of green shirts cheered excitedly. "Senior brother Ding is very much a man of th
Ding Hao nodded slightly. That was true. Although the disciples of the Central Academy of white shirts were conceit, Li Muyun and Liang Feixue were definitely not villains who liked conspiracies and plots. The people of Honorable Alliance of Seven were all very charming and had their own pride. "Since it is so, what can I help you?" Ding Hao asked quietly. "I especially came here to apologize to you," Sun Jiutian said the surprising words. "Apologize to me?" Ding Hao was amazed. Sun Jiutian nodded and looked sincere. "Yes, I apologize to you for the provocative actions and ridiculous words in the daytime. I like to play some tricks before the game to interfere with the opponent's preparations. Others don't know your strength, but I know that you are strong. Since the lottery has been settled, my actions and words on the stage were just to disturb your mood and affect your performance. Unfortunately, your will is firm and my strategy has fail
According to the rules of Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, after the competitions of the five academies and when all the newly recruited nominal disciples had been familiar with each other, each of the East, South, West, North, and Middle academies would choose the most talented and qualified disciple among the four hundred disciples to be the head of the academy. The head of the academy had to be responsible for managing the daily chores and the outdoors experience of all the disciples. He also had the power to allocate resources of the sects. His external responsibility was to coordinate with other academies, even other Sects. It was no exaggeration to say that his power was almost equal to that of a teacher-in-charge. That was definitely a prominent position envied by everyone. "After having known the position and power of the first position, are you also excited?" Li Lan looked at Ding Hao with a smile. Ding Hao smiled, still shaking his head without hesit
Just in front of the black figure, but he was always 20 meters away. So far, Ding Hao had not seen clearly who took away his tattered rusty sword, or even whether the shadow was a human or an animal. The shadow was too flexible. It was like a monkey monster beast flying among the trees. Ding Hao failed to count how long he had been chasing. The gentle slope in front of him had turned into a steep and rugged mountain road. Cliffs appeared on both sides of the road. Ancient trees and towering stone forests began to appear. Under Ding Hao's body, the Qi of the lower abdomen stirred, roaring and surging in the first pass of the Shaoyin First Channel of Hand, and among the "Consciousness Sea" and "Life River" aperture, the Qi rotated at a speed of 21 revolutions per second, continuously providing new strength for Ding Hao. Half an hour had passed, however, the distance between Ding Hao and the shadow did not shorten. Ding Hao frowned and finally
"Um," Ding Hao scratched his head with a disappointed frown. "Bulls**t, what swordsman consciousness?" he said in his heart, "Ah, how would I know you are not malevolent? For a trash heap who picked up the broken sword to take risks? Ha! Only fools do such things." "See here you! I won't tolerate a cringing, scratching, lewd, treacherous, sissy! Where do you even resemble a man?" The man in black's face reddened in annoyance as if he was scolding his son, and never seemed to end. At last, he completely put on an expression that said he was the real father and spat his saliva everywhere. Ding Hao endured without a scowl. People under the eaves must bow their heads. The strength exhibited by the man was definitely not the strength the current Ding Hao could compete with. He might as well play a coward first. He would wait for a moment and find out what was in the guy's potion. "Ha, ha, Little Chap Ding," he said, "Bad luck. You might fo
