Chapter 237: First Round: Seeking Dao at the foot of the mountain
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The next day, the students convened at the same time.
The students from the four regional academies and the main academy were all gathered in the square.
Students from different academies were sizing up the others.
“The people from the Main Academy will be participating in this academy exchange, right?”
“Well, that’s what 1 heard.”
“Then what’s the point of competing… The students of the Main Academy enjoy much more resources than us, not to mention their talent and strength!”
“That’s for sure. After all, the Main Academy is located in the central region and is one of the giant forces in the central region.”
“But don’t forget that our main focus this time is not the Main Academy…”
After someone said this, instantly, the students beside him fell silent.
Right, what they really had to pay attention to was not the students of the Main Academy.
This was because this time, the students from the Main Academy were not the strongest.
Compared to those monsters, the elite students of the Main Academy were probably not enough…
“I really don’t know how those people from the Cottage cultivate…”
“They’re originally of the same generation, but the difference is so huge. We’re still exchanging students, but they can already kill veteran Void God Realm experts!”
“Sigh, we’re only here to go through the motions.”
“I don’t think so. This time, not only will we be able to see the difference between the Cottage and the Main Academy, we might even be able to get to know each other!”
“You? Do you think you’re worthy?”
“Let’s see!”
While the students were talking, suddenly, several powerful auras descended from the sky!
He sat at the head of the platform!
It was the dean of the Hidden Dao Academy’s Main Academy, Dean Yan, a Void God Realm expert!
Half a step behind him were the four Deans of the Hidden Dao Academy.
After that, the experts from the other factions also arrived one after another!
“Sect Master of the Hidden Sword Peak, Lin Rufeng!”
“That’s the head of the Mu family, Mu Heze!”
“And the head of the Li family!”
“Alchemy Sect?!”
“What’s going on? Why are there so many authorities here to watch the Inter-academy Tournament?”
For a moment, the students were stunned.
Ordinary academy exchanges were just an internal activity to motivate and test the strength of the various academies after all.
How could there be people from other powers that came to watch?
Moreover, it was a giant faction on the same level as the Hidden Dao Academy!
Lin Rufeng smiled and said, “Old Yan, did you specially invite us over to show off?”
Everyone knew what Lin Rufeng meant by showing off.
Dean Yan did not refute and joked, “Of course. With so many monstrous figures in our own faction, how can we not bring them out for a walk?”
Mu Heze also chuckled and said, “At that time, don’t poach the geniuses of our faction to your Hidden Dao Academy.”
“Hahaha, if I can dig it up, 1 naturally won’t mind.”
The head of the Li family looked at Mu Heze coldly and said, “Isn’t your Mu
Wan’er already leaning towards the Cottage?”
As soon as these words were spoken,
Dean Yan, Lin Rufeng, and the others all looked at the delicate young girl behind Mu Heze.
The girl did not feel the gazes of these big shots. Instead, she looked around as if she was looking for something.
Seeing this scene, Mu Heze helplessly patted the girl’s head and said, “Wan’er, mind your manners!”
Only then did Mu Wan’er react. She covered her head with both hands, wrinkled her nose, and pouted. “Don’t knock my head. I’ll become stupid!”
After saying that, under Mu Heze’s helpless hint, he noticed the gazes of Dean Yan and the others.
He immediately bowed obediently.
“Greetings, uncles.”
Lin Rufeng smiled and said, “Little girl, you know how to talk.”
At this point, he took out a small object and handed it to Mu Wan’er.
Mu Heze smiled and said, “Aren’t you going to thank Sect Master Lin?”
Mu Wan’er did as instructed.
Then, Dean Yan looked at the head of the Li family and smiled. “You can call us uncles, but you can call this old man, right?”
Everyone laughed.
The head of the Li family snorted coldly and was not angry.
Mu Heze said again, “Wan’er, you…”
However, before she could finish speaking, Mu Wan’er suddenly looked pleasantly surprised.
Then, he instantly left this place.
“Sigh… This girl…”
Mu Heze shook his head helplessly.
Director Yan smiled and teased, “Looks like your prestige as a father isn’t enough.”
Hearing this, Mu Heze smiled bitterly. “Sigh, this girl has been spoiled by her mother since she was young. Everyone, please laugh.”
Below, in the direction of the Cottage.
“Sister Hong Ying!”
When Hong Ying heard the call, she turned around and saw Mu Wan’er pouncing at her.
He couldn’t help but smile. He took Mu Wan’er with both hands and hugged her. He said with a smile, “Have you settled the matter?”
Mu Wan’er hugged Hong Ying and rubbed her face against her chest. Only then was she satisfied.
“It’s done! But it’s not a big deal.”
Ye Qiubai also smiled and said, “Just stick to your Sister Hong Ying?”
Mu Wan’er blushed and looked over. She chuckled and said, “How can that be?
Brother Qiubai misses you too.”
“And Brother Blackie, Brother Chenxin!”
However, when Mu Wan’er saw Shi Sheng, she pouted and said, “Junior Brother.”
Ye Qiubai and Hong Ying couldn’t help but laugh when they heard this.
This girl, she felt angry that Lu Changsheng accepted Shi Sheng but didn’t accept her.
She was clearly the one who came first. Now, she could only become Sixth Junior Sister!
Nonetheless, on the surface.
Mu Wan’er would still deliberately call Shi Sheng her junior brother.
Shi Sheng himself did not care.
He just smiled and nodded. “Sister Wan’er.”
After hearing this form of address,
Mu Wan’er smiled.
At this moment, on the high platform.
Dean Yan’s voice spread throughout the entire academy.
It resounded in everyone’s ears.
“This academy exchange will be held here in the Main Academy.”
“The rules will also change slightly from before.”
“This time, the first round of the trial will be set at the foot of the Daoseeking Mountain.”
As soon as these words were spoken, immediately, all the students exclaimed. Even Lin Rufeng smacked his lips and said, “Old Yan, your hands are big.” Everyone knew that the Daoseeking Mountain was the Hidden Dao Academy’s mystic realm.
It was rumored that it had been passed down from ancient times.
Among them, there were many Intent Realm inheritances!
Dean Yan didn’t care at all.
Qin Tiannan and the other principals also understood Principal Yan’s intentions.
The Era Of Great Battle had already begun.
If the Hidden Dao Academy wanted to survive in the Era Of Great Battle, it had to increase its strength as soon as possible!
Opening up the Hidden Dao Academy was only the first step.
Dean Yan continued, “The rules are as follows.”
“The students participating in the academy’s exchange can make an exception and head to the foot of the Daoseeking Mountain. At the foot of the mountain, they can communicate with the Intent Realm in the Daoseeking Mountain!” “As long as I can communicate with an Intent Realm, it will be considered a success.”
“You can also successfully advance to the second round.”
“The second round will be held on the mountainside of Qiu Dao Mountain.” Upon hearing this, all the students were in a frenzy!
The higher one went on the Daoseeking Mountain, the higher the level of Intent Realm!
The students from the Main Academy were also extremely tempted.
One had to know that even they did not have many chances to enter the mountainside of the Daoseeking Mountain to cultivate!
