Lonemoon glanced at Shen Ying. If that insect hadn't called out to them just now, Shen Ying would have really attacked him with that claw, right? "Why did you suddenly attack him?" She didn't look like someone who would take the initiative.
Shen Ying took the tea that Chef handed over and then blurted out, "Oh, I'm used to it!" She wanted to pinch the insect when she saw it.
Lonemoon: "…"
Yi Qing: "…"
So that was just a conditioned reflex?
"This insect is really the insect race from your sister's plane?" Lonemoon's eyes widened.
"Mm." Shen Ying nodded and explained, "There was a plane storm near the mother planet of the insect race, one of the insect race queens should have been accidentally swept into the end of the void."
Lonemoon was even more confused. "That's not right, the insect race doesn't look like this." Although that guy had antennae, he was clearly in human form. When he first returned, Shen Ying had shown him the images of the insectoids. They all had thick carapaces.
"Mimicry." Shen Ying said, "High-level insects have mimicry, and this is the end of the void, it's normal for there to be some mutations."
So that was it.
"I'm so hungry, can we eat?"
"…" She's still that foodie.

Lonemoon didn't expect to find the location of the spirit seed on his first day in Yang City. It was easy now that he knew the place. Lonemoon had originally planned to sneak into Immortal Spirit College tonight and take the spirit seed back. But he found that the aura of the end of the void was too messy, and there were some completely unknown energies surrounding it. Their divine perception couldn't probe into the college at all, which meant that they couldn't find where the spirit seed was at all.
Perhaps because he had suffered once, Lonemoon was more vigilant towards this world. He didn't just barge in without a care, and the spirit seed was now an open reward for the league, if it suddenly disappeared, it would definitely cause some unnecessary trouble. And this was the chaotic end of the void, the plane gate wasn't something they could open and return whenever they wanted. Shen Ying said that they had to wait at least a month before they could open it again.
So after thinking about it, Lonemoon still felt that it was better to win the spirit seed openly. That's right, Father Niu planned to participate in that alliance competition. Whether or not they could win in the end, at least they would have a chance to know the exact location of the spirit seed. Moreover, even though only one academy could participate in this competition, Buggy had also mentioned earlier that many forces called themselves academies to participate in the competition. Naturally, they could do so as well.
Hence, the three of them asked for directions and headed directly to the registration place. The Immortal Academy was actually not in Yang City, but on a secluded hillside in the west of the city. Perhaps because of the competition, there were people going in and out of the entrance. The location of the report was on the left side of the academy.
"Invincible Academy?" The registrar was stunned for a moment. He raised his head and looked at the three of them. "I've never heard of this name before."
"It's a newly built academy. It's not well-known, and it's located in a remote place in the north," Lonemoon said.
The man did not ask much. Perhaps it was because he had received too many visitors in the past few days. He directly wrote down the name of Invincible Academy on the register. As he wrote, he asked, "Are you the teachers leading the team?"
"No, we are participants." Lonemoon explained. Seeing that he was a little suspicious, he added, "Our teachers were injured and are recuperating in the inn, so they asked us to come to register."
"Oh, that's just right. You can go directly to the preliminary competition!" He pointed to the inside of the academy and said, "There are too many academies participating in the Alliance Tournament. Only the academies that have passed the preliminaries will have the right to participate in the official tournament." With that said, he directly handed him a competition card before shouting at the person behind him, "Next."
Lonemoon did not say much. He picked up the wooden card and walked in.
Yi Qing and Shen Ying followed. Just as they entered the door, a guard at the side glanced at them and waved his hand. "Hey, you guys. Come this way. The next round is about to begin."
The three of them turned and followed them in. After a while, they turned in front of a door. The guard then pointed inside and said, "As long as you can last inside for a joss stick's time, you'll be considered qualified."
With that said, he directly opened the door in front of them and gestured for them to enter. The few of them went in to take a look. Only then did they realize that inside was a place that was like a beast battle arena. There seemed to be no time to clean up inside. There were some messy things scattered around. There were weapons, armor, talismans and other things. There was also a faint strange smell in the air.
Yi Qing frowned. He directly conjured a wind seal and blew away that strange smell. At the same time, he blew all the rubbish on the ground to a corner.
It was obvious that they were going to compete in martial arts. But they did not know who their opponents were. They looked around and found that there was a huge iron door opposite them that was tightly shut. There was an unfamiliar aura inside. They could faintly detect that it was a huge fellow.
"Hey!" The guard who sent them here called out to them from behind. He said somewhat worriedly, "Remember, you have to last for a joss stick's time to be considered qualified. If you want to give up halfway, just say that you admit defeat."
"Thank you very much!" Lonemoon replied.
Only then did the guard nod. Suddenly, he took out something, it looked like a talisman or something. He pressed it against the wall at the side. Immediately, there was a rumbling sound. The huge iron door opposite them opened automatically.
For a moment, that strange smell pounced on them again. The three of them could not help but pinch their noses and take a step back. There was a soft rustling sound coming from inside. They could faintly see a huge figure moving towards them. The figure only moved twice. For some reason, it suddenly stiffened, and then it was motionless. It was like a huge black stone embedded in the door. It was even faintly trembling.
After waiting for a long time, they did not see the other party crawl out even half a step.
The three of them looked confused. Could it be that the preliminary selection of this alliance competition was just to see who could stand longer?
"Eh?" The guard outside was also stunned. "Why isn't it coming out?"
He walked towards the opposite side somewhat anxiously. After passing through the big iron door, he heard the other party's somewhat angry voice coming from inside.
"Hey, it's your turn. Hurry up and get out!"
"…" There was no response from inside.
"Did you hear that? It's not over yet! Hurry up and get out. "
"…"
"What's the matter with you? We agreed to fight ten rounds a day. This is only your second round. Hurry up and go! Wait … why are you suddenly trembling? "
"…"
"What? Not doing it? Didn't we sign an agreement with your Queen? What do you mean by not doing it now? "
"…"
"Hey hey hey, don't force me to complain to your Queen!"
