More than a dozen strong cultivators were hovering in the air. Some came on their flying swords, while others came on their magic robes. All of them were the upper echelons of the Jialan Academy.
For example, the Vice Deans of the four major departments, and even the Deans of the four major departments and the two Vice Deans of the four major departments had all arrived.
"What the hell is going on?" Gong Yang Ming asked in a dignified voice.
Vice Principal Wang Lin looked over to a tall and burly old man and asked, "Old Man Sun, what do you think?"
This old man was the principal of the Long River Branch, Sun Tiantu. He was also the only formation master of the Long River Branch.
In the Zhen Wu Country, there were a total of three formation masters who had reached the advanced level, and Sun Tiantu was one of them.
Even the royal family of the Real Wushu Country was extremely respectful to him. Countless people wanted to become Sun Tiantu's disciple to learn the art of Spiritual Array, but they were all rejected by Sun Tiantu.
"There are traces of a formation here. The person who set up the formation most likely didn't know how to set up formations, so he tried to imitate them but failed miserably. However, I don't think he wanted to set up a grand formation, but rather, he buried something here. Although the grand formation wasn't successfully set up, it's already enough. Look again, the Baleful Yin Qi in the western mountains was originally very dense, but now, it's extremely thin."
"You mean to say that someone used some unknown method to devour all the baleful Yin Qi in this place?" The other vice principal, Bai Chang Feng, asked with a gloomy expression.
The principal of the Purple Light Branch, Dong Fang Ya, spoke up, "Could it be a demonic cultivator has infiltrated our West Mountain? Only a demonic cultivator would be able to absorb the yin energy here. These bastards sure have guts, they actually dared to set their sights on the burial ground of our ancestors. Fortunately, the tomb hasn't been damaged yet. "
"The most important thing right now is to send people to patrol the West Mountain to prevent the demonic cultivators from targeting the tomb. At the same time, we need to increase the number of patrols in the city to see if we can find any demonic cultivators. If we do, we must kill them without mercy."
The principal of the Fallen Moon Branch, Wang Yundi, spoke up.
Vice Dean Wang Lin said, "We need to talk to the City Lord about this. Now that the Four Academies Tournament is around the corner, we can't let anything go wrong."
At this moment, Lin Feng had already returned to his residence. He naturally didn't know what the academy's experts were talking about. Of course, he also didn't know what kind of undercurrent would be surging in Sangharan City because of this incident.
After returning, Lin Feng was not in the mood to sleep. He was constantly sensing the Nine Emperor Avatar. Now that the Nine Emperor Avatar was floating in his Dantian, the Saint Emperor's aura was boundless. Lin Feng tried to communicate with the Nine Emperor Avatar, but failed.
"I need to find the nine emperors' souls to communicate with their clones. Next, I need to find the nine emperors' souls. Even though I won't be able to find all of them, I just need to find a few.
Each of the Nine Emperor Avatars possessed unimaginable power. Activating any one of them would give one a heaven-defying ability. Lin Feng was naturally looking forward to it.
Time flew, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day of the Four Academies Tournament.
On this day, the inner courtyard of Sangharan Academy was bustling with noise and excitement.
More than two thousand three hundred inner courtyard students had signed up to participate in the tournament.
Of course, there were still a few hundred people who hadn't signed up yet. Most of them were outside and hadn't returned in time.
Huo Xuanli was one of them. Nobody knew where that guy had run off to. Lin Feng wasn't surprised that he hadn't come back. Huo Xuanli had left the academy for more than a year before returning.
The Tournament of the Four Academies was an extremely important event for Sangharan Academy. Vice Dean Wang Lin was in charge of it. In addition, all the deans and vice deans of the four academies had come to observe the students' cultivation and aptitude.
"Brother, do you see that? That's the dean of our Chang He Branch, Sun Tiantu."
Gong Sun Zhangge pointed at an old man on the main stage.
Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat. He had naturally heard of Sun Tiantu. He was one of the top three Ling Formation Masters in Zhen Wu Country.
Sun Tiantu's research on Ling Formations had reached perfection.
"It seems like the dean attaches great importance to the Tournament of the Four Academies. He even rushed back from outside." Lin Feng said.
"After all, it's a tournament that happens every three years." Gong Sun Zhangge said.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Great Competition of the Four Academies is about to begin. This time, the Great Competition of the Four Academies will be divided into the Challenge Competition and the Points Competition. You can challenge any one of the top 100 students. If you can defeat them, you can replace them and enter the top 100. After the Challenge Competition, there will be the Points Competition.
"I want to challenge Dong Xuan from Chang He Branch." A student jumped onto the stage. His name was Zhang Di. It was said that he had recently obtained a great fortune and his cultivation level had increased by a lot.
Dong Xuan's face turned ugly when he was challenged.
Dong Xuan was one of the nine top 100 students of Chang He Branch. He was ranked 97th. His strength wasn't to be underestimated.
"Brother Zhang, please." Dong Xuan bowed hand over fist. Zhang Di and Dong Xuan started fighting.
Zhang Di was a student of Purple Light University. The students of Purple Light University cheered for Zhang Di while the students of Chang He Branch cheered for Dong Xuan.
Gong Sun Zhangge sighed. "Chang He Branch is the weakest of the four universities. We only have nine people in the top 100. Apart from me and Sister Xiao, the others are ranked at the bottom. We haven't had any outstanding students recently. I'm afraid that the Purple Light University's ranking will be even worse than last time."
Said Lin Feng. "Everybody thinks that Sword Dao is a small Dao, but they don't know that there are tens of thousands of Daos in the world, but they all lead to the same destination. As long as you practice Sword Dao to the peak, you can explode with incredible strength."
"There aren't many people who can see things as clearly as you," said Gong Sun Zhangge. Lin Feng nodded.
On the stage, Dong Xuan and Zhang Di exchanged over a hundred blows. Dong Xuan was punched in the stomach by Zhang Di, and his pure Qi dispersed. He couldn't fight anymore.
"Thank you for letting me win." Zhang Di had a smile on his face. This was the attitude of a victor. Dong Xuan was defeated. His expression was extremely gloomy. He clasped his fists and walked down.
"Brothers, sister, I've embarrassed Chang He Branch," said Dong Xuan. Dong Xuan said guiltily.
Xiao Yafei said, "Brother, don't worry. Winning and losing are normal in battles."
Gong Sun Zhangge said, "That's right. Besides, you're about to break through to the Greater Qi layer. When you do, you'll be able to soar into the sky."
"I'll do my best." Dong Xuan clenched his fists and left.
People kept going up to challenge the top hundred students, but it was obvious that they were all defeated. It was very rare to be able to defeat one of the top hundred students.
At that moment, Bai Yilong jumped onto the stage. He was a Martial Master and ranked forty-seventh in the inner courtyard. Now that he was on the stage, it caused a huge commotion. Bai Yilong looked coldly at Chang He Branch. He paused for a moment on Lin Feng's face and then looked at Gong Sun Zhangge, who was next to Lin Feng. Bai Yilong said, "Gong Sun Zhangge, I challenge you to a duel. Do you dare fight me?"
"Boom." Suddenly, the crowd exploded. Nobody had thought that Bai Yilong would challenge Gong Sun Zhangge, who was ranked nineteen in the inner courtyard. It was definitely going to be a showdown.
"Why should I be afraid?" Gongsun Zhangge was obviously stunned for a moment, but then a cold smile appeared on his face. He leaped out and landed on the arena.
