"Dean …" Siffin's voice was a little weak. "Do you want us to be hacked to death?"
Surpassing the Big Four.
Guo Youdao hadn't mentioned this in a long time, but now he seemed to be addicted to it. He had said that he was not satisfied, so he had made them into the Academy's flag. Now, he had actually made four robes, turning the four of them into living signboards.
From now on, the four of them would be ostentatious wherever they went and would be filled with hatred. On this continent, no matter what country they were in, no matter if they came from the Big Four Academies, it was mainstream to worship the Big Four Academies like Ding Wen. It was not a joke to parade around with these four words. Being hacked to death was not a joke.
More importantly … …
Under the interference of Lu Ping's gaze, Siffin couldn't help but look at his shoulders — there were no sleeves! This uniform that would cause them so much trouble was actually a half-finished product. Thinking about it made him feel a little sad.
"This is also training, to toughen your minds." Guo Youdao always had one thing to say when he spoke.
"Whatever you say!" Siffin didn't argue anymore. Guo Youdao nodded in satisfaction, but he quickly heard Siffin turn around and say, "Anyway, I'm going to graduate soon."
"Oh no, I still have one more year," Su Tang said.
"If I had known earlier, I would have gone during the first two exams." Lu Ping also became distressed. According to his years, he had only passed the first year exams this year, and was still three years away from graduation.
But after sighing, the three looked at Morin together, their faces full of sympathy.
"At least we know our situation," Su Tang said.
"Poor Morin, he might not even know why he died," Lu Ping said.
They discussed this, but in the end, they did not change out of the half-finished uniform. They walked out of the courtyard and towards Zhiling City.
Inner city, Soul Selection Platform.
A patch of dark clouds had been hanging over Zhiling City since dawn. Today's weather looked even worse than yesterday's.
The head of the twelve examiners, the chief examiner, Ding Wen, stood on the Soul-Selecting Platform. He sniffed and felt the unusual humidity in the air.
He hated this kind of weather. His ability, Forest Fire, would be affected to a certain extent in this kind of weather. Whenever he encountered this kind of weather, he always felt a little uneasy. And in this Soul Point Convention. Because of some people and phenomena, he was already in a bad mood. Now that he encountered such weather, he became even more irritated.
Ding Wen raised his hand, and a gust of wind swept up from the Soul Point Platform. Without any deviation, it crashed into the inconspicuous side of Zhenfeng College. But it was also the most eye-catching flag.
The flag was pulled up from the platform. Ding Wen's hand carelessly fiddled with it, and the small flag was immediately carried by the wind, flying out of the Soul Point Platform.
Examiner Jiang Ning, who was ascending the Soul Selection Stage, was startled by the object that suddenly flew out from the stage, but he immediately recognised it to be the flag of Zhaifeng Academy. He then saw the main examiner, Ding Wen, standing on the Soul Selection Stage with his hands on the armrest, expressionlessly looking at the flag being swept out of the Soul Selection Stage by the wind, before it floated downwards.
Jiang Ning did not pay any more attention to the small flag. He quickened his steps and quickly came to Ding Wen's side. He took out a folded paper from his sleeve.
"Today's Soul Point Selection Table. Please take a look! "Jiang Ning opened the paper and handed it to Ding Wen.
Ding Wen took it and roughly scanned it. After confirming a few people he had paid attention to, he nodded. Then with a shake of his hand, a ball of fire rose, and the paper instantly turned to ash.
"It's good that you remember it," Ding Wen said lightly.
"I remember." Jiang Ning hurriedly nodded.
"The people should be here soon, right?" Ding Wen asked.
"The students from all the major colleges are on their way," Jiang Ning said.
Ding Wen nodded, and looked towards the observation platform opposite the Soul Point Platform. There were already people busily preparing on the observation platform. Ding Wen knew that. On the day that the Soul Point Ranking was released, the City Lord of Zhiling City, who was in charge of the large district of Zhiling City, would also personally come to watch. Naturally, he occupied the observation platform with the best position.
"Let everyone prepare!" Ding Wen ordered. Jiang Ning nodded. He hurriedly ran down the platform along the same path.
There were already decorations on the Soul Point Platform. Fifty seats, with different sizes and workmanship, were divided into different levels. The tallest and largest seat in the middle would undoubtedly be the number one spot on the Soul Point Ranking. After that, the other seats were arranged in order, two, three, four, five, six to ten, eleven to twenty. As for the others, it was clear at a glance.
Ding Wen looked around at everything. Without the eyesore Zhenfeng College flag, everything looked no different from previous years. This made Ding Wen very satisfied.
Below the Soul Point Platform, the crowd gradually gathered. Even the City Lord would personally come to watch the duel, so naturally there were more idlers and other people. A large crowd flooded the area below the Soul Point Platform, leaving only one path in the middle. This was maintained under the strict maintenance of the inner city guards. Otherwise, there would not be such a path.
"They're here!" Someone shouted. Everyone turned to look, and saw that at the far end of the path that was sandwiched in the crowd, someone finally appeared.
Four figures.
One white, one black, one red, one green.
Just from the attire alone, this was much more lively and beautiful than those college teams who had completely unified uniforms. Many residents of the outer city even applauded.
But the residents of the inner city did not see it this way. They all had status, and naturally did not need to squeeze into the crowd like this. Each had a comfortable place to watch the battle. In their eyes, the attire of this group of four was a little strange. Looking at the style, it was a little like the clothing of the Qingfeng Empire called haori. But even the haori were only popular in the northernmost and coldest regions of the Qingfeng Empire. The Xuan Army Empire was located in the southwest of the continent, and the climate was warm. This kind of clothing that was mainly used to resist the cold did not have a market in the Xuan Army Empire. Of course, there were people who liked the style of haori, and made it into light clothing. But looking at the clothes of these four, it was not the cold resistant haori of the Qingfeng Empire, nor was it something that people in the Xuan Army Empire would occasionally wear. It was just the outermost decoration of the clothes.
"This … this …" Everyone began to study the clothes of these four people. As the residents of the inner city who lived a good life, it was a little difficult to realize that this was only a half-finished ordinary clothing that had not reached the sleeves. But when the four people walked past them, and saw not the front, but the back, everyone no longer cared to study the style of the clothes.
Hurry! Exceed! Four! Big!
Four large words, just like that, floated conspicuously behind the four people.
Wherever they passed, they immediately left behind a land of silence.
