The hall quieted down as the few of them listened to him quietly.
Qing Buli continued, "The five northern nations of the Blacknight Continent have always been in constant strife, making life difficult for the people. It wasn't until a few hundred years ago that one of the Tiancong Academy's headmasters proposed the Grand Tournament of the Five Nations. That was how the conflicts between nations were reduced to this competition. "
Moved, Monarch Jin said, "Speaking of which, the Grand Tournament of the Five Nations has done a great service. It has reduced the number of lost souls and allowed the people to live in peace and contentment. This is because it showcases the greatest strength of the younger generation of the five nations, representing the vitality and future of the nation. It's enough to awe all. "
Qing Buli nodded. "Therefore, I don't care what thoughts you have, what grudges you have, or who you don't like. Put them all down now and work together to overcome this crisis. If we don't take first place in the tournament, all five of you will be expelled from the academy! "
The five of them paled, their eyes filled with astonishment.
Although they knew the importance of the tournament, they hadn't expected it to be so important that they would threaten to expel them.
"Hold on."
Yang Qingxuan looked puzzled. "Isn't the Grand Tournament of the Five Nations supposed to be individual battles? Is it a free-for-all? "
The others looked at him strangely, a trace of astonishment in their eyes.
Monarch Jin was also dumbfounded. "You don't even know this?"
Yang Qingxuan spread his hands helplessly and smiled wryly. "No one told me."
"I thought it was common knowledge," Monarch Jin said. "Any student should know."
Yang Qingxuan blushed and chuckled sheepishly.
Qing Buli said, "The Grand Tournament of the Five Nations isn't about fighting in the arena. Instead, it's about some sort of mission. Once completed, you win."
"I understand," Yang Qingxuan said. "You can attack each other in the process of completing the mission." He thought that this kind of tournament wouldn't be too civilized.
Qing Buli rolled his eyes at him. "Isn't that obvious? Only two people from the Tiancong Academy survived the last tournament, but they took first place. "
The five of them shuddered. Of the two who survived, one was You Ye, and the other had already graduated.
Prince Jin sighed, "This kind of competition, the loss of elites is too great, but it has replaced tens of thousands of soldiers in battle, allowing tens of thousands of people to have a happy family."
Yang Qingxuan nodded and said, "Yes, compared to the tens of thousands of dead souls, the death of a few geniuses is worth it."
The other four nodded in agreement.
Yin Yao said, "Then what is the content of this year's competition?"
Qing Buli continued, "This year's competition will be hosted by Heavenly Consort Academy, but the content of the competition must be submitted to the other four principals for mutual approval. The content of the competition has yet to be decided. "
King Jin said, "The reason I called you all here is to tell you the seriousness of the competition, and also —"
He raised his hand, and five rays of light flew out from his body. They were red, orange, yellow, green, and cyan. They flew randomly in the air, but they never left his control.
Prince Jin said, "These are the top five origin treasures of the empire. Because of the importance of this competition, His Majesty has given special permission to take them all out. Each of you can have one."
The five were both surprised and delighted. Sir Jin licked his lips, eyes shining. "Do we return them after the competition?"
Prince Jin sneered. "If you take first place, you don't have to return them. What if you lose first place? "
"Heh heh."
Sir Jin scratched the back of his head. "Even if I die, I'll take first place back!"
The others also had determined looks on their faces.
Prince Jin said, "These five origin treasures have all been masked. If you can't tell them apart, it'll depend on your luck and intuition."
Qing Buli smiled. "Choose."
The five looked up at the five-colored balls, unsure of which one was good and which one wasn't.
Yang Qingxuan probed with his consciousness and found that the five balls' auras were completely concealed. There were no loopholes at all. They could only rely on luck.
"Sigh."
He sighed and smiled wryly. "If it's all based on luck, what's there to think about?" With that, he flew up and reached for the five balls.
Suddenly, he heard Hua Jieyu's voice. "Take that green ball."
Yang Qingxuan's heart skipped a beat. He wanted to grab the red one, but his hand changed direction and grabbed the green one. He flew down.
Qing Buli and Prince Jin's expressions changed. They looked at each other.
Their expressions fell into the eyes of the four students. The four students immediately understood that Yang Qingxuan had obtained something good. Immediately, they were distressed.
Lu Yifan smiled and said, "It's better to choose early. You'll have more choice. Later on, it'll all be the leftovers." He also flew up and grabbed the green ball.
In the end, Sir Jin, Fu Zhuo, and Yinyao each grabbed one. They were orange, yellow, and red respectively.
The five balls shone brightly in their hands. It was impossible to tell what was inside.
Qing Buli smiled. "Pour your True Essence into it. It'll disperse the light."
Yang Qingxuan did as he was told. He poured his True Essence into the ball. The green light disappeared in a flash, and a jade gourd appeared in his hand.
Yang Qingxuan was stunned. He transmitted his voice, "What is this gourd? You're not playing with me, are you?"
Hua Jieyu sneered and mocked, "Ignorant man. Besides, do you think I have nothing better to do?"
Yang Qingxuan didn't say anything. He picked up the jade gourd and examined it carefully.
The gourd was small and exquisite. It was translucent and lustrous. There were hollowed out carvings on it, but they couldn't see what effect it had.
The red light in Yinyao's hand dissipated, and a long sword with a cold light appeared. It was no stranger to everyone. It was the sword Zuo Heng had used.
Yinyao's face lit up. She was obviously very satisfied.
Two slender short swords appeared in Sir Jin's hands. They were engraved with the words "Godspeed Flying Sword." His eyes lit up and he fiddled with them.
Fu Zhuo dispelled the light and a silver bracelet appeared in his hand. He frowned.
Last was Lu Yifan, who held a jade talisman.
"Haha, this is the will of the heavens."
Qing Buli smiled. "These five profound armaments are very compatible with each of your personalities. Yang Qingxuan's jade gourd could quickly heal injuries. It was a very powerful weapon in a group battle. Yinyao's Spring Rain was needless to say. Everyone had seen it before. Sir Jin's Godspeed Flying Sword was incomparably fast. It could take a person's life without a sound. Fu Zhuo's Sacred World Silver Splendor was a powerful barrier. Even a practitioner of the origin realm would find it difficult to break through. Lu Yifan's Heavenly Curse Talisman possessed great sealing power. With these five weapons working with you, I'll be more at ease in this fight. "
