"Of course, if you're strong enough, you'll be able to earn a lot from this Battle Zone." Cheng Feng looked at Su Yun meaningfully as he spoke.
Su Yun was stunned. He did not understand what Cheng Feng meant.
"What do you mean?" Su Yun asked.
"The Battle Zone is divided into three parts: the Friendly Battle Zone, the Compulsory Battle Zone, and the Training Zone. In the Friendly Battle Zone, the two contestants will agree on the terms of the battle and the wager. The academy will not collect any fees. " Cheng Feng continued, "In the Compulsory Battle Zone, all the contestants must accept the challenge. Furthermore, they can only admit defeat when one of them is weakened to a certain extent. However, the contestants will have to pay a huge amount of contribution points."
Su Yun was shocked. This rule might be a little cruel, but the advantages outweighed the disadvantages.
On one hand, it would give the contestants a chance to take revenge. The academy would recover a large amount of contribution points and increase the flow of the economy. On the other hand, it would stimulate the contestants and increase the enthusiasm of all the students.
"What about the last Training Zone?" Su Yun asked curiously.
Cheng Feng smiled and said, "The place where you can earn a large amount of contribution points is the Training Zone."
"The so-called Training Field is an area that is independent of the battle zone." Cheng Feng paused and continued, "It is located in Lin Yuan and is covered by a giant spiritual formation. It is connected to the Battle Zone by a transportation formation."
"Everyone needs to have at least 2,000 contribution points to enter the Training Zone. Before you enter, you have to give your contribution points to the deacon outside the transportation formation in exchange for a virtual spirit tablet."
"Virtual spirit tablet?" Su Yun felt that the Training Zone was a world of its own.
"This Virtual Spirit Tablet can't be put into the storage space. There is a number in the tablet. It starts at two thousand. This number is formed by a special energy. It is constantly trying to break free from the tablet. Therefore, the owner must have enough spiritual energy to suppress it," Cheng Feng said.
Su Yun's eyes flashed and said, "If the holder doesn't suppress it or doesn't have enough spiritual energy, won't it escape by itself?"
"Yes, when the owner's spiritual energy is too weak, the energy will break free of its restraints. However, it will be easily absorbed by others." Cheng Feng looked at Su Yun meaningfully.
Su Yun suddenly understood.
In the training field, as long as one defeated another person, one would be able to obtain the energy in the other person's spirit tablet. Or, someone else would hand it over voluntarily.
"When that kind of energy condenses into a spirit tablet, the value on that spirit tablet will accumulate. After the training is over, you can use the value on the spirit tablet to exchange for the corresponding amount of contribution points from the deacons, "Cheng Feng explained.
"However, after the exchange is completed, you will have to pay 10% of the contribution points to the academy."
Ten percent … Sure enough, the academy wouldn't provide services for free.
"With such rules, I'm afraid that there won't be a lot of people in the training grounds," Su Yun said. After all, there weren't many people who were so confident in their abilities in the training grounds.
Cheng Feng shook his head and said, "The training field is located in the Lin Yuan Forest. It is extremely wide, and there are countless heavenly treasures and all kinds of spiritual beasts. Just these alone can attract a large number of students who are interested in training," Cheng Feng said.
Su Yun suddenly thought of a possibility and asked, "What if someone formed a team in the training grounds to steal other students' spirit tablets?"
"The training grounds are for people to train, not for people to do such things." Cheng Feng smiled and continued, "The Teleportation Formation that connects to the training grounds is a random Teleportation Formation. Therefore, before you are teleported, you won't know where you will appear in the training grounds. Furthermore, the minimum time you can stay in there is two days and the maximum is five days. "
Su Yun nodded. If that was the case, even if a team was formed, it wouldn't last long.
Su Yun suddenly thought of an important question, "If there's a Teleportation Formation in there, how do we get out?"
"That spirit tablet is actually a reusable talisman made of a special material. It can store a small amount of Spatial Energy. In the training grounds, as long as you activate it with spiritual energy, you can use the giant Teleportation Formation in the training grounds to teleport you back to the battle area," Cheng Feng said.
A giant Teleportation Formation … Su Yun suddenly thought of the Ancient Realm expert that Yixie mentioned. That Teleportation Formation must have been created by an Ancient Realm expert.
"What an exquisite design," Su Yun sighed. This way, it could effectively protect the students in the training grounds. However, only an Ancient Realm expert could do this.
"Of course, the ancestors of Aoran College are …" Cheng Feng couldn't help but reveal a trace of pride in his eyes.
However, he suddenly felt that something was wrong and hurriedly shut his mouth.
"Give me your jade tablet. After registration, you can officially enter the training grounds." Cheng Feng was slightly embarrassed and returned to the original topic.
"Okay." Su Yun handed over the jade tablet.
Cheng Feng held Su Yun's jade tablet in his hand. Spiritual energy flowed through his arm. After a while, he opened his palm.
"This contains your information and the information of the students who have registered in the training grounds. However, it will only show the people who are in the training grounds." Cheng Feng said, "Oh right, the contribution points in the jade tablet need to be above five thousand before you can enter the training grounds."
Su Yun's contribution points were all on the Champion's Gold Card. Therefore, there were zero contribution points in the jade tablet.
Cheng Feng saw that Su Yun's expression was a little awkward. He smiled and sent a stream of spiritual energy into Su Yun's jade tablet.
Cheng Feng handed the jade tablet to Su Yun. "This is a hundred contribution points. Consider it a greeting gift. I didn't give you too much because I want you to know that you have to rely on yourself to walk the path of Aoran College. "
Su Yun took the jade tablet and bowed to Cheng Feng solemnly. Although he didn't know why Cheng Feng was so nice to him, he still appreciated his kindness.
"Okay, that's all I have to say. You can go now. The training grounds are a good place. However, there is also a hidden humiliation. Everything depends on your strength. "Cheng Feng's figure disappeared after he finished speaking.
Hidden humiliation … Was this a forced battlefield? Normal people probably couldn't afford to play in that place.
Su Yun did not act pretentious, and directly walked into the battle zone.
The moment Su Yun walked through the door, the jade tablet in Su Yun's hand moved slightly. He looked at the jade tablet in his hand and sank his spiritual consciousness into it.
"Su Yun, Aoran College's new student, Initial Stage Spiritual Leader Realm."
A simple introduction appeared at the top of a list of information in the jade tablet's virtual space.
Below it were many other names and their corresponding simple introductions.
At the same time, the jade tablets of everyone in the battle grounds had an additional piece of information.
"Freshman Su Yun? Is he the champion of the new student competition? "
"He dares to come to the battle grounds as soon as he enters Aoran College. He's really bold."
"Initial Stage Spiritual Leader Realm. He's not too weak. It shouldn't be a problem for him to stay here."
"Don't underestimate him. I heard that he defeated Luo Quan and Wang Chong. He's now ranked 58th on the Ling Jue List!"
"Is he that powerful? If there's a chance, I'd like to see it. "
…
Su Yun obviously couldn't hear the discussions among the others. He was like a child who had stepped into a new world. He wasn't busy doing anything and just strolled around leisurely.
The friendly battle grounds and the forced battle grounds were clearly separated. The arena on one side was better preserved and more elegant. The arena on the other side was full of potholes and the surrounding environment seemed a little bleak.
Su Yun felt that the blood in his body seemed to show signs of boiling as he felt the spiritual power fluctuating around him.
"Only in this kind of place can I maintain my fighting strength and the drive to cultivate." Su Yun thought in his heart.
Su Yun was still strolling around. Because he had just registered the battle grounds, he didn't have much interaction with these people.
"Hmm?" Su Yun was watching the friendly battle grounds with great interest when he suddenly found that his jade tablet seemed to have some changes.
Su Yun's spiritual consciousness sank into the jade tablet and found that there was a different message at the top of the rows of students' information.
"Su Yun, friendly battle grounds, arena number five, one thousand contribution points, invites you to fight. Liu Ting. "
Su Yun was stunned. It turned out that this was the way to challenge someone in the battle grounds.
Liu Ting … seemed to be a senior. Su Yun still had some impression of him.
When he had just entered Aoran College, Su Yun had gone to the Cultivation Pagoda to make a breakthrough. He had once fought with someone for a key. He remembered that person was called Liu Ting.
"There's no harm in going to take a look." Su Yun's mood was not calm. He didn't know if it was that person.
Su Yun looked for arena number five in the friendly battle grounds. Because the battle grounds covered a large area, Su Yun took a long time to find arena number five.
On the arena, a slightly familiar figure stood proudly with a cyan-steel sword in his hand pointing diagonally.
Su Yun looked at that figure and smiled. He didn't think that it would be such a coincidence.
That person seemed to feel something and slowly turned around.
"Junior Brother, we meet again." Liu Ting had a warm smile on his face as he spoke to Su Yun.
"Senior Brother, I haven't seen you for more than a month. Your cultivation has reached another level. Congratulations." Su Yun cupped his fists and smiled at Liu Ting.
"In the previous battle, I lost by half a move in the Sword Principle. It was a pity. Since I have such an opportunity, I would like to learn from you again." Liu Ting didn't mind his previous defeat and spoke bluntly with a smile.
There were many people in the friendly battle grounds. When they heard the conversation between the two, they felt a little uneasy.
"Liu Ting called him Junior Brother. Could he be a freshman?"
"There was an additional message in the jade token. Su Yun. There seems to be such a person among the freshmen."
"Listening to the conversation between the two, Liu Ting should have been defeated by Su Yun before. A freshman with such strength should not be a nobody."
"Su Yun? Could it be … the champion of the Freshman Competition? "
"The freshman who defeated Wang Chong not long ago?"
"Defeated Wang Chong! He is a fierce person ranked sixty-fifth on the Ling Jue List! "
Below the stage, some of the bored older students were talking at once, but Su Yun did not care about them.
Su Yun admired Liu Ting's boldness. What Liu Ting meant was that he wanted the two of them to fight with swords and compete in swordsmanship.
Of course, Su Yun wouldn't refuse. He directly leaped and stood firmly on the arena.
Su Yun bowed slightly. When he straightened up again, his aura suddenly changed.
With the rusted iron sword in hand, Su Yun's restrained sharpness revealed a faint sense of danger.
"This Su Yun has deep attainments in the Sword Principle," a senior student below the arena who used a sword said in a serious voice.
Liu Ting had already touched on the Sword Qi. His cyan-steel sword was also somewhat famous in the battle area. From what he said, it seemed that he had once lost to Su Yun in the Sword Principle. When he saw Su Yun's aura just now, he no longer underestimated this freshman.
Seeing that he was so serious, Liu Ting became cautious. Recently, Su Yun's fame in Aoran College had skyrocketed. It wasn't that he hadn't heard of it. To be honest, he didn't think that he had much chance of winning against Su Yun. However, he resolutely chose to fight. This was because only by constantly fighting with swordsmen with higher attainments could he continue to hone himself and make progress.
This was his persistence.
Liu Ting slanted his cyan-steel sword. There was no fluctuation of spiritual power around him, but his aura was rising steadily.
The two of them confronted each other for a moment. As the junior brother, Su Yun naturally made the first move.
Making the first move meant that he had the upper hand.
Su Yun's wrist shook, his feet kicked, and his figure rushed out. There was no fluctuation of spiritual power around him.
This was a simple exchange in the Sword Principle.
Liu Ting saw that he was coming aggressively, and the battle intent in his eyes grew stronger.
"Ding …" A crisp and pleasant sound of collision rang out. The two's auras clashed, and their sword moves changed at the same time.
Su Yun's sword was constantly locked onto Liu Ting. A faint feeling of oppression shrouded him. The rusted iron sword was like a spirit snake, constantly changing. The sword was unconventional, and the angle was tricky.
"What kind of method is this?" The senior sword-wielding student below the stage couldn't understand Su Yun's moves. There seemed to be no pattern, but they flowed smoothly.
Liu Ting was unhurried. He countered the moves as they came, without the slightest sign of weakness.
The sound of metal clashing rang out incessantly. The two figures flashed, constantly crossing each other.
Below the stage, the passersby stopped one after another, paying attention to the two's battle.
A cyan light flashed, and a cyan steel sword suddenly stabbed out, pointing directly at Su Yun's left shoulder. Liu Ting didn't wait for the move to end. His wrist shook, and the sword tilted, cutting towards Su Yun's right neck. Su Yun raised his sword to block. With a 'zheng' sound, the two swords clashed, producing a 'weng weng' sound. Before the sound died down, the two swords flashed. After three moves, Su Yun's long sword fiercely struck down, aiming straight for Liu Ting's head. Liu Ting dodged to the right, and the sword in his left hand changed. The cyan steel sword quickly stabbed towards Su Yun's thigh.
The two's sword techniques were swift, and they fought with all their strength.
"A simple confrontation of sword techniques is rare." A senior passing by stopped and said.
"The rarest thing is that the two's attainments in the Sword Principle aren't low. This kind of confrontation is even more exciting." The senior who spoke also used a sword. As the saying goes, the layman enjoys the show, while the expert appreciates the skill. For him, this was a rare opportunity.
Amidst the incessant crisp clashing sounds, the two had already exchanged close to two hundred moves, and there was no sign of a winner.
"This new student is indeed amazing. His attainments in the Sword Principle are comparable to Brother Liu Ting's. His future achievements are limitless!" A senior sighed.
"It is said that he is already ranked fifty-eighth on the Ling Jue List. I'm afraid that Brother Liu Ting is not his opponent." Another senior said with some worry.
However, no one noticed that a senior student had quietly retreated after watching the battle between the two of them below arena number five ….
The battle on the arena was in full swing. At this time, it was no longer a simple competition of moves. On the edge of Su Yun's sword, there were traces of sharpness. It was a kind of momentum, with traces of Sword Qi.
Liu Ting didn't show any weakness, and the battle intent in his eyes grew stronger.
There were traces of cyan light flashing on the cyan steel sword. Obviously, that was Liu Ting's momentum! At the same time, there were traces of Sword Qi lingering around.
"Since Brother Liu Ting came back from the Cultivation Pagoda more than a month ago, he has been staying in the battle area, honing his Sword Principle. Finally, he comprehended Sword Qi not long ago. Now, he has met his match. This is interesting. "A senior who seemed to be familiar with Liu Ting said as he looked at the two people in the arena.
"Buzz …" The clash between the cyan steel sword and the rusted iron sword had turned into a heavy buzzing sound. The two people's figures were constantly flashing, and the blades of their swords clashed in various positions, shaking up layers of faint ripples.
Liu Ting was the first person that Su Yun had met who had comprehended Sword Qi. He felt an inexplicable sense of closeness in his heart. Moreover, he had a good feeling about Liu Ting. Therefore, out of respect, he didn't hold back in his moves. However, he didn't completely mobilize Sword Qi and Sword Essence.
When Su Yun made his move, his movements were extremely proficient, and every single move was used perfectly.
Reverse Attack, Cleave, Shoulder Break, Horizontal Slash, Horizontal Stab, Oblique Slash. For a moment, he actually forced Liu Ting to be flustered.
"What an amazing ability to judge! He must have gone through a lot of practice. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so smooth. It's as if every move he made was subconsciously made! "A senior who used a sword below the arena was entranced as he muttered to himself.
Liu Ting's decline was obvious, and he was already struggling to hold on. Su Yun still didn't use too much Sword Qi, nor did he use Sword Essence. He only tried his best to perfectly perform every move and style that he knew.
Below the arena, dozens of senior students couldn't help but clap and cheer when they saw the two fighting back and forth in full swing. A few of the senior students who used a sword had already subconsciously begun to gesture.
The cyan steel sword in Liu Ting's hand was no longer able to hold on. However, his expression became more and more interesting, and his eyes became brighter and brighter. This was because, in actual combat, he had benefited a lot from Su Yun's moves. Moreover, he could clearly feel Su Yun's current state. It was a kind of wholehearted devotion. It could even be said that Su Yun was completely immersed in it.
He knew that Su Yun might have done this on purpose.
There was neither high nor low, neither long nor short. Where the Dao existed, where the Master existed. This kind of logic, to an open-minded person like Liu Ting, naturally had some understanding.
Perhaps, this would be a good fortune. Even if Su Yun was considered as his Junior Brother, he wouldn't care in the slightest.
There was no need to be restrained in the path of cultivation. Continuous improvement was the way of the king!
