Chapter 250 Three highlights
Xiaoyue Dynasty, Imperial City.
As the largest city in the Xiaoyue Dynasty, the Imperial City has always been very lively, with an endless stream of cultivators coming from all over.
The battle for the Hidden Dragon List is a grand event held every three years in the Xiaoyue Dynasty. Not only practitioners from all over the country will come, but many chambers of commerce will not miss this good opportunity.
They booked a restaurant near the venue in advance and launched various bets there.
Just bet on the rankings of many geniuses.
Who can advance to the front and who will fall back? Who can take first place and who will be ranked at the bottom.
In short, there are all kinds of bets.
You can bet on anything you can think of!
After all, how much fun can there be in just watching a movie? Adding a bet makes it exciting!
For a time, many practitioners placed bets here.
This is the case every year. Many practitioners become rich overnight, while many practitioners lose all their property.
The area around the venue is heavily guarded.
Every ten feet, there will be a holy master stationed there.
Apart from the Saint Realm masters, there is the Tiance Camp.
Tiance Camp, also known as the Imperial City's First Army, is very small in number and always maintains a strength of about a thousand people.
However, these thousands of people are all talented people carefully selected from cities all over the country. Once they enter Tiance camp, they will put on masks and uniform armor. They will have no names, only code names.
The soldiers of Tiance Camp were devoted to the royal family with all their heart and soul. They were not needed for ordinary matters at all. They could only take action when hunting down some important figures or during major events.
These soldiers of Tiance camp stood upright, with murderous aura and solemnity around them.
From a long distance away, you can feel the cold air they emit.
Some cultivators with insufficient cultivation will feel uncontrollable heart palpitations even if they look at it from a distance.
No matter who is not qualified and tries to get close to the venue, he will be killed without mercy!
Outside the venue, in the largest restaurant.
Inside, it was full of guests and lively.
"Do you know what is the biggest highlight of this Qianlong List battle?"
A middle-aged man took a sip of wine and smiled mysteriously.
"Senior brother, please speak!"
The other cultivators at the same table all looked yearning.
"This time, there are three biggest highlights."
The man dipped his finger into the wine and made a mark on the table, "First, can Ye Feng win the top spot on the Hidden Dragon Ranking?"
"Yes, Ye Feng is a worthy talent in our Xiaoyue Dynasty."
"Last time, he was too young. This time, I'm afraid no one can stop his rise!"
"Not necessarily, I'm more optimistic about Chen Liuhe from the God of War Palace. I heard that boy was born in a barbaric land, and he is full of evil intentions. Besides, I also heard that his cultivation is different from ours, but he has to be sacrificed with human blood. !”
"Don't talk nonsense. I have seen Chen Liuhe with my own eyes. Although he is a barbarian, he was adopted by the God of War Palace since he was a child. He is no different from us."
The cultivators around him argued endlessly about this.
"Stop it."
The man cleared his throat and said, "There are different opinions on who is stronger, Ye Feng or Chen Liuhe, but it is obvious that Ye Feng's voice is higher, so more people expect him to win the championship."
"That's true."
Everyone nodded and agreed with this statement.
"So, what are the two other highlights?"
"Secondly, you must have heard about the conflict between the Kendo Academy and the Running Academy today, right?"
The man chuckled a few times, "In one day, there were four more sword cultivators in Benliu Academy. The Kendo Academy went to challenge them, and Zuo Yue, the son of Zuo Xiang, was killed... Then the Kendo Academy gathered the geniuses to take revenge, without exception. They all died in front of the city gate, including the two elders who died four times."
"Hey, is there still such a thing?"
"How did the Flowing Academy become so powerful all of a sudden?"
"Yeah, I heard they can't compare to those from the Kendo Academy."
Inside the restaurant, there was another exclamation of surprise.
For them, the Kendo Academy is the first kendo holy place in the Xiaoyue Dynasty.
This was founded by Lord Shofu and Prime Minister Zuo together. It has a history of more than two hundred years. During these two hundred years, the Kendo Academy has trained many famous swordsmen, including several The sword master walked out from here.
As for the Benliu Academy, everyone only knows that it was founded by Prime Minister Wei and only recruits swordsmen practitioners.
But in fact, it is far behind compared to the Kendo Academy.
They only trained one swordsman named Yuan Ye, but he was a traitor.
After Yuan Ye betrayed Benliu Academy, he fell into the arms of Kendo Academy.
The Kendo Academy spent all its resources to train him, which made him make rapid progress and successfully occupied the top spot on the Dragon Ranking.
For several years, no one dared to challenge him, making his position as secure as a mountain.
It can be said that these two universities are not on the same level at all.
But how did the Flowing Academy suddenly rise in one day?
There must be a reason for this!
"Yuan Ye once promised that he would kill all the disciples who participated in the battle for the Qianlong Ranking. Now if the disciples of the two universities meet, they will definitely cause a bloody storm. This is also a highlight!"
The man smiled proudly, looked across the room, and took a sip of his wine.
"And the last highlight, what is it?"
Some practitioners asked.
"The last one is Ye Chen. Many people are speculating whether Ye Chen will participate."
The man smiled proudly. He didn't know much about the name "Ye Chen".
After all, Xiaoyue Dynasty is very big, and Ye Chen is at most a little famous.
His reputation is circulated in some specific circles, and it is impossible to say that he is known to everyone.
"Ye Chen, who is it?"
"This name sounds familiar, is he from the Ye clan?"
"I remember, he is a young swordsman from the land of Hundred Kingdoms. He once went on a killing spree in the Prime Minister's Mansion and killed several disciples of the Ye clan in a row. It was particularly exaggerated!"
"Is he very strong and can be one of the highlights?"
Facing the doubts of many practitioners, the man nodded slightly, "This, you don't know it? Why the Benliu Academy can rise suddenly is because of Ye Chen's joining. Those swordsmen suddenly became enlightened after listening to Ye Chen's teachings! His talent can be imagined!"
Many practitioners showed shock.
After all, Ye Chen was born in the land of Hundred Kingdoms, which is a very barren borderland.
It is hard to imagine that such a place can also emerge as a super genius.
"Ye Chen is now making rapid progress under the protection of Prime Minister Wei. He has already reached the level of Sword Saint at a young age. Moreover, I heard that he is very ambitious and wants to compete for the first place..." The man shook his head with a proud look on his face. "Tsk, he really doesn't know his own weight." "He can also covet the first place on the Hidden Dragon List?" "Is this worthy of being a highlight?" The man's words immediately attracted a round of boos.
