The most distinguished guests were at the top of the Sevenstar Tower, overlooking their surroundings. Their students and followers, however, did not have the qualifications to ascend to the top. They were arranged by the North Style Academy to watch the annual Big Dipper Gathering.
The crowd was divided into many groups. Compared to the top of the Sevenstar Tower, the power division here was even more distinct. Even the Precious Treasure Pavilion, who needed to make friends with the world and make money with harmony, did not wander around with the other powers. Instead, they obediently sat in a corner of the spectator seats.
There were quite a lot of them, much more than the people from the various academies. They watched the competition very seriously. Everyone chose a match and watched it without blinking.
Those who understood them laughed when they saw them like this.
Businessmen were businessmen after all. The Seven Star Trial was a limitless business opportunity for them. Those who failed or did not perform well would definitely be recorded by the Precious Treasure Pavilion. They would then look for an opportunity to market it.
There was really nothing to say to these guys!
The other powers did not have any interest in interacting with the people from the Precious Treasure Pavilion. They continued to gather together and discuss the matches they were interested in. When the news of Scholar Yao Guang being decided in the Seven Star Trial spread, everyone became even more excited. Just watching the Seven Star Trial was already worth the trip. What kind of grand scene would it be to decide Scholar Yao Guang in the Seven Star Trial? They might not even have the chance to see it once in their lifetime.
Even the business-oriented people from the Precious Treasure Pavilion were in an uproar when they heard the news. However, some of their eyes flickered with excitement and anticipation. Not many people paid attention to them.
For a moment, the attention of the spectators was all focused on the second circle where there were very few matches. Although the matches had not started yet, everyone believed that with Scholar Yao Guang's seat empty, the highest level matches in the second circle would definitely erupt.
Also at this time, in the outermost seventh circle, there was a match that did not receive much attention. It was over.
Zhuo Qing, who could not concentrate at all, was completely defeated by his opponent. However, he did not mind this defeat. What he minded was the person who was watching his match from the sidelines.
Lu Ping.
He actually did not leave at all. He waited until Zhuo Qing's match ended. His intentions were clear. Especially after seeing Zhuo Qing's defeat, Lu Ping immediately stretched his body, as if he couldn't wait to go all out.
Seeing that the barrier around the training field was beginning to disappear, the Seven Star Order began to descend. Zhuo Qing was very anxious.
"Challenge, challenge!" he suddenly shouted.
"What did you say?" Victor, who Zhuo Qing had treated as air, couldn't believe his ears. The opponent he had easily defeated actually immediately issued a challenge to him?
The rules of the Seven Stars Trial. The winner could not challenge the same opponent repeatedly, but the loser could challenge the opponent that defeated him repeatedly until he won.
However, they would usually do this. Either they had a deep grudge against each other and were unwilling to let it go easily, or they had found a flaw in their opponent in the previous match. He had complete confidence.
This person from the Big Dipper Gate didn't recognize Zhuo Qing, so he naturally wouldn't think that there was any conflict between them. The first thing he realized was the latter. He immediately began to review his flaws in the duel just now.
But no matter how he thought about it, the flaws in his mind all came from Zhuo Qing.
He scratched his head, unable to understand. At this time, he finally noticed Lu Ping waiting outside the training field. He then noticed the fear in Zhuo Qing's eyes when he looked at Lu Ping. He instantly understood. He had been very focused during the match and hadn't noticed Lu Ping's existence before. But now, he realized.
"You want to challenge him?" He went over and asked Lu Ping.
"Yes." Lu Ping nodded.
"He doesn't dare to fight you. So he decided to challenge me to delay? "This person continued.
"Is that so?" Lu Ping didn't dare confirm and asked Zhuo Qing.
Zhuo Qing's face was pale and he didn't know how to reply.
"There's a personal grudge." That person smiled.
"Yes." Lu Ping said.
"Then I'll fulfill your wish and leave him to you." This person said. He had already caught the Seven Star Token that had fallen into his hands and was about to leave.
"Oi oi, what's going on? How can he reject the challenge? How can he?" Zhuo Qing anxiously shouted. He finally realized what was going on.
Challenges could not be rejected, but those who had just finished a duel had a five-minute break to not accept a challenge. Shen Wuyin and Senior-apprentice Brother Ji had already told them about these rules. Zhuo Qing had been anxious and had completely forgotten about it.
Only then did he realize
Zhuo Qing turned and ran.
He had also just finished a duel and also had five minutes to rest. During this time, if he didn't accept the challenge, he could just run away.
However, just as he turned around and took a step forward, Lu Ping's figure had already flashed in front of him.
"Didn't we agree that the two of us would settle this?" Lu Ping reminded Zhuo Qing.
Zhuo Qing did not forget this saying. He really wanted to return to that time. At that time, Lu Ping had no soul power at all and had been seriously injured by Eviscerate. He could have killed Lu Ping with a single finger.
But now, the Divine Armament Inheritor, a Divine Armament Inheritor who had killed the Seven Kill Guard.
Zhuo Qing no longer had the courage to abide by that saying, that promise.
"Don't be naive." He pretended to be calm and said, "Do you really think that this is only between you and me? To be more accurate, there is nothing between us. It is the crime you committed that cannot be tolerated by the Empire. "
Zhuo Qing's words were both soft and hard. On one hand, he reminded Lu Ping that they did not have any personal grudges. On the other hand, he hinted at the enormous power of the Empire behind him.
"Right now, the head of the Empire's Council, Qin Qi, is watching you from the top of the Seven Star Tower!" Afraid that it was not enough, Zhuo Qing threw out Qin Qi's existence.
Lu Ping furrowed his brows and cast a glance in the direction of the Seven Star Tower. But before Zhuo Qing could sigh in relief, his gaze had already shifted back.
"That is another matter." Lu Ping said.
"In the North Style Academy, isn't this restricted to you and me?"
Zhuo Qing wanted to cry but had no tears. That was something Zhan Ren did to resolve the conflict between the North Style Academy and the Black Army Empire. Now, it was being used by Lu Ping to endlessly target him.
This guy will definitely not give up. Zhuo Qing thought and ran again. But no matter which direction he went, Lu Ping would be able to catch up immediately. He who could use the power of soul was far stronger than Zhuo Qing.
After a few repetitions, Zhuo Qing was in despair.
It seemed like he could not avoid this match no matter what.
"Challenge!" At this moment, a voice suddenly echoed. The trial field rose up and enveloped Lu Ping within it.
Zhuo Qing's eyes brightened. He recognized that challenger. It was his senior brother from the State Protector Academy. He was one rank higher than him. He joined the North Style Academy last year and was no longer in the Northern Mountain New Academy.
"Zhuo Qing, you go first." His senior brother said to Zhuo Qing.
"Hehe." Zhuo Qing heaved a sigh of relief. He thought about how he was at a loss in front of Lu Ping just now and felt embarrassed. He smiled and said, "You are just one person after all."
On this side, Lu Ping had already thrown a few Seven Star Tokens to the training field. Then, he threw out a punch with his other hand.
The training field retreated. The Seven Star Tokens that had not yet risen to the highest level all fell into Lu Ping's hands.
"Challenge." He turned around and said to Zhuo Qing while catching the Seven Star Tokens.
Behind him, Zhuo Qing's senior brother from the State Protector Academy widened his eyes. His slightly raised hands didn't even have the chance to fully extend his stance before he fell down just like that.
