Chapter 61: Who Said We Conceded?

  His words had barely fallen when a huge black eagle swooped down from the sky, occupying almost half of the square. On the eagle sat the people of the temple.

  "Who says we gave up? The timing is just right." Leng Ruoxue said with some sarcasm, looking at the timer.

  "Exactly, your one eye saw us give up." Feng Da followed with a shout.

  "It's just that we didn't give up yet, and there was only one second left on the clock!" A young man spoke up from above the eagle.

  "Hey, look! This eagle seems to be a sacred beast, a flying sacred beast!" Someone in the crowd of onlookers below shouted, and instantly everyone's eyes were fixed on Yu's body.

  Lin Liang's eyes were burning hot as he stared at the black eagle, a sacred beast? This eagle was not a sacred beast, it was clearly a divine beast. However, this eagle had intentionally restrained its own pressure, that's why people would mistake it for a sacred beast. But it couldn't deceive him, this little girl was really too surprising.

  "Alright, quiet down, I now declare the competition officially started." Lin Liang said with a loud and clear voice. This girl is really too much, actually appearing only in the last second.

  Feng Tian Academy is divided into four branches: Ling Shi Branch, Dan Shi Branch, Qi Shi Branch and Xun Shou Shi Branch. Among them, the Ling Shi Branch is further divided into primary, intermediate, advanced, and sacred halls, with an additional revered hall added recently. This selection competition mainly involves a match between Ling Shi students, and it is stipulated that any student above the rank of Ling Wang can participate. The top thirty students will have the qualification to represent Feng Tian Academy in the inter-academy competition held once every three years on the Liang Feng Continent. As for the Qi Shi Branch, Dan Shi Branch, and Xun Shou Shi Branch, each branch selects one representative to participate in the inter-academy competition.

  About 150 students participated in the selection competition, and the competition lasted for three days. The rules of the competition were: two-to-two matches, the winner advanced to the next round, and the defeated student still had a chance to compete with another defeated student, and the winner could also advance to the next round, while the loser was eliminated. This arrangement was made to give everyone an extra chance and select the most excellent talents to represent the college in the competition.

  The competition venue had a total of ten arenas. After the host announced the rules and said some encouraging words, the students who signed up for the competition went on stage to compete in sequence according to the number cards given to them in advance.

  After the first round of preliminary matches, a total of 110 students successfully advanced to the next round.

  After resting for 2 hours, the second round of pre-competition officially began.

  "Classmates, now it's time for the second round of competition. You are getting closer and closer to the top 30! Come on!" The host finished speaking and yielded the stage.

  "Wow! Night Shixiong is so handsome!" A flower-crazy girl led the way in shouting from below the stage.

  The second round of competition began, and Ye Chen, who was the first to take the stage, shone like a radiant body, attracting everyone's attention and stealing the show.

  Feeling the madness of those flower girls, Leng Yue was left speechless. There were clearly 10 arenas with 20 people competing, but everyone else had been ignored by Hong Guo Guo.

  "Congratulations, all of your temple's people have advanced to the next round." Fu Mingyuan walked over and said with a friendly smile, displaying his gentlemanly demeanor.

  "What's there to be congratulated about? It's just the first round, if they can't even pass this, they don't deserve to stay in the arena." said Leng Ruoxue who was sitting on the sidelines watching the match with a serious expression.

  "Hey, what's wrong with you? You're so rude! Brother Fu came over to congratulate you with good intentions, what kind of attitude is this?" A female fan of the Fu family immediately shouted in discontent.

  "Did I ask him to come over?" Leng Ruoxue sneered, she and the people of the Fu family would never be friends, so why waste her emotions and time on someone who didn't matter?

  "A fool, what does she know about manners? Why bother with her." Chen Fang walked over and said sarcastically.

  "Well said, I'm such an idiot that not only do I not know what manners are, but when I get crazy, I also like to hit people!" Leng Ruoxue said with a smile that was not quite a smile. After the match just now, it seemed that there were suddenly more women who wanted to find fault with her.

  "You... I won't bother with a barbaric woman like you." Chen Fang said angrily, then reluctantly walked away. She knew that Fu Mingzhu was beaten by Leng Ruxue and then scratched in the face by her spiritual beast, so she was indeed a little afraid.

  "What's wrong?" Ye Chen, who had already finished his second round of competition, came down from the stage and walked to Leng Ruo Xue's side to ask.

  "It's nothing, just a few clowns jumping around, now it's my turn on stage."

  Leng Ruoxue calmly walked onto the stage, her opponent was unexpectedly Sun Ting from Zun Dian. Seeing Sun Ting glaring at her with a resentful face, Leng Ruoxue couldn't help but laugh lightly. It's said that after being thrown out of the window by that demon last time, Sun Ting got injured, didn't expect her to recover so quickly.

  "What are you laughing at, you fool?" Sun Ting said with some irritation.

  "What's going on? The people of Zun Temple are so overbearing? Don't they allow others to smile?"

  "And you keep saying I'm a fool, then what are you, who's about to be defeated by a fool?" Cold Snow deliberately provoked.

  "I won't lose!" Sun Ting said confidently, for this selection match, she had a secret weapon, originally didn't want to bring it out so early, but in order to give this fool a profound lesson, she didn't mind revealing it ahead of time.

  Sun Ting's hand had an extra black long whip, the whip body was dark and mysterious, with a hint of sharp aura, as if there was a black giant dragon swimming around. As soon as she took out this whip, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.

  "It's a sacred artifact!" Someone who knew his stuff shouted out as soon as the whip appeared.

  "This is the Dragon's Whip!" Lin Liang said with some surprise, not expecting Sun Ting to bring out their family heirloom. It seems that Sun Ting was determined to get this trial spot, and the Sun family had indeed gone all out. But it remains to be seen whether Yu Xue could handle it?

  Is that a sacred artifact? The Sun family is just an average clan, yet they have a sacred artifact. Why isn't anyone fighting over it? Leng Ruoxue thought to herself with some ill intentions.

  What she didn't know was that many people had tried to wield this whip before, but it was forged by a genius ancestor of the Sun family who infused it with their bloodline. As a result, only those with the Sun family's bloodline could use it, which is why it had been passed down through generations.

  "You're as good as dead, Cold Snow!" Sun Ting said with a gritted teeth, her whip infused with spiritual energy, swung fiercely in the direction of Cold Snow.

  She slightly shifted her body and the whip barely brushed past her. Cold as Snow gazed at Sun Ting with a hint of provocation, "Now it's my turn!"

  A sword appeared in Leng Ruo Xue's hand, its body thin and transparent like crystal, constantly releasing a sharp cold air.

  Lin Liang's pupils contracted, and the girl in his hand actually held a sacred artifact, whose rank was clearly above that of the Dragon Whirl Whip. He could feel the whip trembling slightly, so it seemed he had worried for nothing.

  "Taste my Flame Feather!" Cold-as-Snow infused her sword with fire attribute spiritual energy, and with a light flick of her wrist, 'Flame Feather' shot out from the tip of her sword, just like a burning feather, shooting towards Sun Ting.
