Somewhere in the Black Tortoise Academy, a vigorous voice came out, "Duan Gang, this time, you are the only one left in the Black Tortoise Academy. This time, you must enter the top three. Otherwise, my Black Tortoise Academy will be at the bottom."
"Dean, don't worry. Duan Gang will do his best."
In a courtyard of the Azure Dragon Courtyard, Zhang Muyun and Zhuo Yirong stood side by side.
"Brother Muyun, this time, Duanmu Yunyang will definitely want to get first place. Are you confident?"
Zhuo Yirong asked.
"In another year, Lu Ming can be my opponent. Other than him, there is no one else."
Zhang Muyun let out a long sigh. His sigh sounded a little lonely, but it also showed his strong confidence.
This night was destined to be a sleepless night.
Countless people were looking forward to tomorrow's pinnacle showdown.
Originally, everyone thought that there were two main points to watch in this Four Academies Grand Competition.
First, it was to see how far Ling Kong could go.
Second, the battle between Duanmu Yunyang and Zhang Muyun to see who would get first place.
After all, Duanmu Yunyang was that year's Newcomer King, but he was suppressed by another person. He always wanted to defeat Zhang Muyun.
But now, there was another point to watch.
This year's Newcomer King, Lu Ming, how far could he go?
Therefore, it made people look forward to it even more.
Amidst everyone's anticipation, the night passed. At dawn, Feng Wu and Moulins arrived at Lu Ming's dormitory.
After that, everyone ate breakfast and walked towards the location of the Grand Competition.
When they arrived, they were shocked. There was already a sea of people here. The number of people was much higher than yesterday.
Some of the silver rank disciples who did not come yesterday put down what they were doing and rushed over. Other than that, some silver robed elders also rushed over.
The ten people today were all true geniuses. They were not old disciples who were stuck at the peak of the ninth level of the Martial Master realm and could not break through. They were all young and had only suppressed their own cultivation.
As long as they broke through to the Great Martial Master realm, they would be considered geniuses among the Great Martial Masters. They could even fight above their level. In the future, they might even be able to ascend to the Silver List. Therefore, the silver rank disciples also placed great importance on them.
Not long after, the Four Great Courtyard's Dean and Sect Leader arrived.
Clang! Clang!
With the nine melodious sounds of the bell, the exciting battle of the top ten began.
"Alright, the battle between the top ten has officially begun. This time, there will be a total of nine rounds."
"The first round, Ling Kong against Duanmu Chen."
A silver robed Elder referee announced..
Everyone's spirits were suddenly roused. They did not expect that the first round would be such a highlight.
Duan Mu Chen, ranked fifth on the Bronze List, who would win?
On the stage, the two.
Duanmu Chen was a rare genius of the Duanmu Family. His sword skills were unparalleled, and he was only second to Zhang Muyun on the Bronze Ranking.
"Duanmu Chen, you are not my match!"
Ling Kong was still confident, wild, and filled with a fiendish aura.
"Maybe not"
Duanmu Chen said coldly.
Swish! Swish!
....
Duanmu Chen's Sword Qi was incomparably swift and fierce. It tore through the air and pierced through the heavens, extremely powerful.
Unfortunately, he met Ling Kong.
Ling Kong didn't care about the Sword Qi, he would just smash it with his iron rod. When Ling Kong used the Berserk Beast Art, Duanmu Chen was no match for him. He was completely suppressed by Ling Kong's violent attacks.
This match was won by Ling Kong.
"Ling Kong won. Duanmu Chen is not Ling Kong's match. Lu Ming, who is stronger, is definitely stronger than Duanmu Chen."
"True enough, Lu Ming and Ling Kong are both in the top five."
Ling Kong's victory made people think of Lu Ming.
"The second round, Zhang Muyun against Dong Ce!"
The referee announced the start of the second round.
There was no suspense in this round. Dong Ce admitted defeat before he even made a move.
It was unwise to force a move when he knew he was no match for Duanmu Chen.
Today was not the first round. There were many more rounds to come. If he used too much energy, it would be disadvantageous for him in the later rounds. It was better to just admit defeat.
"The third round, Lu Ming against Cheng Fei Luan!"
"Cheng Fei Luan?"
Lu Ming was surprised. Only the two of them from the Vermilion Bird Courtyard were in the top ten. He did not expect them to meet in the first round.
The two of them went up the stage from the same area.
Cheng Fei Luan was about seventeen or eighteen years old. She was beautiful in a red dress.
There were only two girls in the top ten.
Cheng Fei Luan and Zhuo Yirong were famous beauties from the Mystic Essence Sword Sect. They were known as the top ten beauties of the sect.
Right then, Cheng Feiluan's beautiful eyes lit up. She looked at Lu Ming and said, "Junior Brother Lu Ming, I didn't expect us to meet in the first round.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "It is indeed a coincidence. Senior sister, please enlighten me."
"You don't have to enlighten me. I'm no match for you. I admit defeat for this round. "
Cheng Fei Luan's eyes flashed and she smiled.
"Huh? You admit defeat? "
Lu Ming was stunned.
"That's right. Junior brother Lu Ming, you're the hope of the Vermilion Bird Courtyard. We're counting on you this time!"
Cheng Fei Luan narrowed her eyes and smiled. She then walked down the stage.
Lu Ming's first round ended easily.
The disciples of the four courtyards were not surprised. After all, Cheng Fei Luan and Lu Ming were both disciples of the Vermilion Bird Courtyard. There was no reason for them to compete.
"The fourth round, Duanmu Yunyang versus Zhuo Yirong!"
The competition continued.
Duanmu Yunyang and Zhuo Yirong had no suspense.
Zhuo Yirong only made a few symbolic moves. Seeing that she was no match for Duanmu Yunyang, she admitted defeat.
Then came the fifth round. It was the most anticipated round in the first round.
"Bu Xingkai versus Duan Gang!"
Bu Xingkai was ranked third on the Bronze List. He was known as the best spear user.
Duan Gang was ranked fourth on the Bronze List. He was known as the best defensive user. His defensive ability was unmatched among the Bronze disciples. Correspondingly, Duan Gang's close combat ability was also very strong.
This was a battle between two strong opponents.
"Duan Gang, let me pierce through your tortoise shell today!"
Bu Xingkai held a black spear in his hand and pointed it at Duan Gang. He was extremely domineering.
"Try me if you have the ability!"
Duan Gang was tall and sturdy with bulging muscles. He was obviously a body refining expert.
"Kill! Formation-Breaking Spear Technique!"
Bu Xingkai rushed toward Duan Gang. Spear shadows appeared in the sky and attacked Duan Gang.
"Black Tortoise Protection!"
Duan Gang shouted. His body glowed and five tortoise-shell-like shields condensed around him.
At the same time, he wore a pair of Spiritual Weapon gloves and clawed at Bu Xingkai. His claws were as sharp as blades.
As soon as they exchanged blows, a fierce battle broke out between them.
Bu Xingkai's attacks were like a torrential downpour.
However, Duan Gang's defense was impenetrable. Every time Bu Xingkai's spear hit Duan Gang, it was blocked by the tortoise-shell-like shields around him.
For a moment, it was hard to tell who was stronger.
The disciples of the four courtyards were watching intently.
"Amazing, amazing. Is this the strength of the top four on the Bronze List?"
Pang Shi was dumbstruck as he kept muttering to himself.
"Senior Brother Lu Ming, who do you think will win?"
