Early in the morning, rainbow-colored streamers danced in the air above Xiuxian United University.
On the Blue Sky Plaza, which could accommodate close to a hundred thousand people, hundreds of flowers bloomed and tall trees swayed in the wind. On the trees, the words "Welcome, friends from all over the world" were hung.
Fifty thousand students began to gather on the plaza.
In addition, the representatives and attendants of the younger generation from the Buddhist Kingdom, Hall of Creation, and Garden of Eden had also arrived. There were several thousand people in total.
An Lin was in a particularly good mood today. He didn't know if it was because of the meal he had the day before, but he felt as if his entire body was brimming with energy.
The Dao Exchange Conference of the Four Powers hadn't officially begun yet. He, Liu Qianhuan, and Wang Xuanzhan, as the representatives of the Celestial Court, were chatting idly beside the Dao Exchange Platform.
The representatives of the younger generation from the Buddhist Kingdom, Qing Zhi, Qing Yan, and Qing Xin, sat quietly beside the Dao Exchange Platform with their eyes closed.
Shirley, Augus, and Arthur from the Garden of Eden bathed in holy light and smiled at the crowd on the Blue Sky Plaza. The three of them were good-looking to begin with. Now that their smiles were filled with natural friendliness, they instantly attracted countless fans.
From time to time, Shirley would glance at An Lin with an ambiguous expression. The blue ring on her finger flickered with a peculiar light.
The most detestable of them all was none other than the young representatives from the Hall of Creation.
Hong Dou was a thick and burly rock golem. There was a ball of flames on his chest and his eyes were crimson red with bloodlust. It was clear that he looked like a big boss antagonist.
Dong Yan was a large swallow that was even taller than the little swallow in Princess Pearl. Her wings glowed with a cold light and waves of frosty air exuded from her body. She appeared cold and emotionless.
Huang Shan was slightly more handsome. He looked like a human with a glossy golden body that glowed with a metallic luster. Golden lightning flashed in his eyes.
The attendants of the Hall of Creation were also a strange species. They looked like a group of highly intelligent monsters that had come to discuss the Dao.
Not only were the students uninterested, but even the thousands of attendants of the Hall of Creation were also picking their noses and hitting Dou Dou. They didn't have the slightest bit of enthusiasm.
"An Lin, are you going to use your full strength later? If you're serious, I'll just stand off to the side and not disturb you, "Wang Xuanzhan said earnestly as he looked at An Lin.
The corner of An Lin's mouth twitched. What do you mean by using your full strength? My full strength is only so-so!
"I'm only a student of the Spirit Nurturing Initial Stage!" he replied solemnly.
An understanding expression appeared on Wang Xuanzhan's face when he heard this. "Alright, since Classmate An Lin doesn't really want to fight, then I'll do my best to show off my meager skills."
An Lin didn't know what to say. He just smiled and remained silent.
"Don't worry, with Senior Wang holding the fort, we just need to lay down and win." Liu Qianhuan elbowed An Lin with a smile. "Why don't we have a round before the dao discussion begins?"
An Lin was shocked when he heard this. He shook his head and said, "Senior Sister Liu, this game depends on the occasion. There are tens of thousands of people watching us."
"Tch, tens of thousands of people and you're already so cowardly?" Liu Qianhuan looked at An Lin with disdain before picking up her phone and playing a single-player game.
An Lin sighed lightly. The representatives of the other powers were either sucking in fans like celebrities or sitting quietly like sages. They all had the demeanor of a sage.
Meanwhile, the representatives of the Celestial Court could only rely on An Lin's good looks to keep up appearances.
Liu Qianhuan was also very beautiful, but she was only looking at her phone screen. She was like a playful little girl, completely unable to raise the level of her beauty.
As for Wang Xuanzhan, he wasn't as domineering as the representatives of the Hall of Creation. In terms of looks, he couldn't compare to An Lin either. Instead, he was the most ordinary of them all.
Of course, it would be different when the Dao discussion began and he revealed his abilities.
Vice-Principal Yuhua of the Celestial Court, the Lion King of the Hall of Creation, Vanessa of the Garden of Eden, and Hui Ming of the Buddhist Kingdom sat at the very front of the spectator stands.
Aside from that, in the VIP section, there was a delicate and beautiful Celestial Maiden in a plain daoist robe. She looked as if she had just walked out from an ink painting, and her eyes were fixed on An Lin.
The woman murmured in a low voice, but her voice was extremely firm. "An Lin, this time … I'm definitely going to teach you a lesson!"
An Lin, who was bored to death, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
He turned around to find the rock golem with flames burning in his chest grinning at him.
Their eyes met, and Hong Dou even puffed out his chest, making the flames on his chest glow even brighter.
An Lin: "…"
Right at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded. "Welcome, everyone from the Garden of Eden, the Buddhist Kingdom, and the Hall of Creation to participate in the Dao Exchange Conference of the Four Powers that is held once every five years. We will sit here and discuss dao, and witness the glory of the younger generation of the four powers … "
As the host, Vice-Principal Yuhua was the first to give a speech.
Immediately afterward, the leaders of the other three powers, Hui Ming, the Lion King, and Vanessa, also gave simple speeches.
These were all official pleasantries, and everyone listened to them casually.
No matter how nice it was to say that the younger generation of the four powers were all cowards in the end, that was completely useless. Hence, the most important thing was still the performance of the younger generation of the four powers.
An Lin felt like this was a bit similar to the Olympic Games on Earth. The major powers were replaced with countries, and they were like athletes on the field, fighting for the glory of their country.
The competition was divided into five sections, which were spell, dao, intent, life, and seize. Each section had different scores, and the team that obtained the most points would not only receive very generous rewards, but they would also be able to fight for the glory of their power and become renowned across the entire continent.
An Lin didn't want to participate in this kind of Dao Exchange Conference because he had no confidence in himself and was afraid that he would be a burden.
Furthermore, if he made a fool of himself, not only would he be humiliated in the university, but he would also be humiliated beyond the Kingdom of the Nine States!
Soon, the speeches concluded, and the Dao Exchange Conference began.
The first section of the competition was spell, which was actually a competition to see how well a cultivator could use spell techniques.
Bodhisattva Hui Ming walked toward the stage and took out a huge black stone tablet from his Buddhist beads. It was a hundred feet wide and over a thousand feet tall, and it stood on the stage with a loud rumble.
"This is the spell technique testing stone tablet. It can determine the level of a cultivator's spell techniques, and it is divided into four levels: heaven, earth, mystic, and yellow. The content of this competition is to ask the younger generation of the four powers to demonstrate the power of their spell techniques in front of the stone tablet. You will receive one point from the yellow-rank initial stage, and twelve points from the heaven-rank advanced stage … "
Bodhisattva Hui Ming's words reverberated throughout the entire Blue Sky Plaza. This rule was very simple. The cultivators would have to demonstrate their most powerful spell techniques in order to determine their education and aptitude.
An Lin looked at the huge black stone tablet, which was a bit like the red crystal wall of the Vermilion Bird Sect. However, this stone tablet was able to assess a wider range of spell techniques.
He nodded slightly upon seeing this. He felt like it was best to pass this test with peace of mind.
After all, he had a trump card on him!
"Now, let the spell technique demonstration begin!"
