Chapter 26 A sudden dark horse! How could it be her? Some are not

I saw a tall and thin old man wearing dark green robes with dark green hair and eyes stepping onto the high platform.

This old man is clearly Dugu Bo!

On the high platform, Prince Xuexing put away some of his arrogance and smiled politely:

"Your Majesty, I didn't expect you to be interested in these students' petty fights!"

Although he tried his best to pretend to be a arrogant and dandy prince, he did not dare not to take the titled Douluo seriously.

Prince Xuexing once saved Dugu Bo's life, so Dugu Bo also politely said: "My granddaughter also participated in this competition, so I came to watch the competition."

While the two were chatting, Meng Shenji had already stood up and announced the start of the game.

Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen college teachers walked onto a stage and began to draw lots in public.

The format and rules of the college competition are very simple...

The teachers of the college will conduct a public draw, and the drawn students will compete against each other. The losers will be eliminated and the winners will be promoted until the final champion is determined.

And only the champion can get the reward, and the second and third place will not get any benefits.

In the first few rounds of knockout rounds, the big shots on the high stage will not pay too much attention.

Those who are unlucky and have the ability but are eliminated in the first few rounds will not attract attention. At most, some people will feel sorry for them.

Although except for the champion, the top ranking players will not receive rewards, but they will be valued by the royal family. In the next year, they will receive more training resources than others.

This is an unspoken rule.

Of course, there are many students in Tiandou Royal Academy, and if they compete one after another, it will be impossible to finish the competition in just a few days.

Therefore, the academy provides certain privileges to students with higher cultivation levels...

The first knockout round is only for first-level students, and second-level students advance directly.

The second round of knockout competition is between the first-level and second-level students who advance, and the third-level students advance directly.

In the third round of elimination, students who advanced in the first two rounds will compete with students from the third ring.

Students from the Fourth Ring are directly recommended to the top 16!

However, there are only a handful of fourth-ring students in the entire Tiandou Royal Academy, and they are all over twenty-five years old.

Most of these students are from civilian backgrounds. They have already reached the graduation standards. They are relying on the resources in the academy and plan to stay until they are forced to graduate.

As for the Fifth Ring students?

not a single one!

The schedule progressed quickly, and in the afternoon, the second round of knockout rounds was over.

There are more than 6,000 students, nearly 3,000 of whom are in the first level of cultivation, and are basically completely eliminated.

There were nearly 3,000 people with second-level cultivation, half of whom were eliminated.

There are only a hundred or so students with third-ring cultivation.

It can be seen from this that the quality of the students at Tiandou Royal Academy is really unflattering.

It is precisely because of this that the Tiandou royal family attaches so much importance to Lu Yu, the eleven-year-old three-ring soul master!

Of course, the main reason was that after Lu Yu awakened his martial soul, he never went to the martial soul hall for certification.

Therefore, Wuhun Palace does not know his true cultivation level, otherwise it would have sent people to win him over.

As a holy land for soul masters, the conditions offered by Wuhun Palace will definitely be far better than those of Tiandou Royal Academy!

But Lu Yu knew that there was no peace within Wuhun Palace, and there had been long-standing grievances between Wuhun Palace and the two empires.

Before he has grown up, he has no intention of going into the muddy waters of Wuhun Palace.

In the third round of the knockout round, Lu Yu's opponent was a first-level student. This guy was able to advance to the third round because of good luck. Lu Yu directly punched him off the ring.

In the fourth round, it was a second-ring soul master who also won with one punch.

In the fifth round, Lu Yu was still a second-ring soul master, and he still did not use his martial soul to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.

So...

Lu Yu had fought all the way to the top thirty-two, and even when he encountered a three-ringed soul master, he had never used his martial soul!

This scene also attracted the attention of everyone present, making him one of the focuses of the audience.

Without using martial arts, he was able to kill the top 32 people, and even defeated a three-ring soul master, which made all the students feel incredible.

However, no one knew this guy who suddenly emerged from the academy, seemingly suddenly appearing from the academy.

Also paying attention to Lu Yu are several big guys on the high platform.

Dugu Bo naturally recognized him and was quite surprised.

Obviously, he didn't expect that when we meet again after three years, we will be in such a situation.

Also surprised was Dugu Yan. She also broke into the top thirty-two ranks with great ease, without using her third soul skill from beginning to end.

The first day of competition ended here. It was already late at night. Everyone dispersed. The finals would be held early tomorrow morning.

The students also began to discuss the favorites to win the championship, and some students even started betting secretly.

The most eye-catching ones are two senior students of the Fourth Ring, Yu Tianheng, heir to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, Dugu Yan, one of the two beauties of the Tiandou Royal Academy, and...

The dark horse with unknown origins and mysterious identity, who reached the top thirty-two ranks without using his martial soul—Lu Yu!

While these students were having a heated discussion in secret, Lu Yu came to the lake at the foot of the mountain.

To him, this is just a small fight, without any challenge.

The only ones who could interest him were the two senior Fourth Ring students.

The goal Lu Yu set for himself was to win the championship with only physical strength and martial soul without using the Golden Light Spell, Thunder Method, External Soul Bone and Heaven-Bearing Barrier!

"Ta...tat..."

Sitting on the grass by the lake, Lu Yu suddenly heard a faint sound of footsteps.

Turning his head to look, he saw a girl in a black dress walking over, sitting down next to him, and looking at the lake without saying a word.

Lu Yu was slightly startled. This girl had always been elusive, walking without making any sound or leaking any breath.

But this time, he heard her footsteps.

Or……

Did the other party do this on purpose?

Shaking his head and laughing, Lu Yu didn't speak or say hello, he just looked at the lake quietly.

Suddenly, his eyes suddenly condensed, and a faint blue light flashed in his eyes.

From his perspective, a talisman was drawn in front of him!

Please use the magic talisman, the second level!

But as soon as he finished drawing the talisman, he stopped abruptly.

Even so, Lu Yu was still a little surprised.

In the past three years, he has not been able to fully understand the magic talisman. When he came to Tiandou Royal Academy, he understood the first level and just touched the threshold of the second level.

Is it because of the work-rest balance? Or is it because of the environment?

or...

Lu Yu tilted his head slightly, his eyes flashing.

This girl is full of weirdness. Is it because of her influence?

Looking back, when I first had my epiphany, this girl had been hiding in the dark.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Yu asked: "What's your name?"

"Ye Lingling." The girl still looked at the lake with a cold voice.

Lu Yu was stunned when he heard this name.

Ye Lingling?

Nine Heart Begonia Soul Master?

How could it be her?

Doesn’t she only have a third-ring cultivation level?

This……

Something is wrong!
