Lu An and Fu Yu were stunned at the same time. Even Fu Yu turned to look at Han Ying with a frown.
"School Ranking Battle? What's that? "Lu An was confused and asked.
"School Ranking Battle, as the name suggests, is a battle between schools." Han Ying looked at the two proud students and said, "We are located in the southeast region of the Midnight Kingdom, and the eight cities in the southeast region will hold an academy ranking competition every year to rank the strength of each academy."
Lu An was stunned and asked, "Teacher, you want us to participate?"
"That's right." Han Ying smiled and said with satisfaction, "Representing the school in the School Ranking Battle is a great honor, and you will be seen by all the high ranking families in the southeast region. You might even be recognized by the City Lord Mansion or even higher people. This is a great thing!"
"How about it?" Han Ying looked at the two students and said confidently, "Are you interested?"
"No." Fu Yu said, immediately pouring cold water on Han Ying.
Han Ying was stunned and looked at Fu Yu in shock. At this moment, Lu An also frowned and said after some thought, "Teacher, I don't want to go either."
"…"
Han Ying looked at the two students in front of her, dumbfounded. This was a place that others would fight to the death for, how could these two students not want to go?
"Why not?" Han Ying could no longer sit still and said, "Are you worried about the results? With your strength, you will definitely get a good ranking. Even if you don't get a good ranking, the school will still provide you with generous rewards, including heavenly techniques and elixirs! "
"…"
Lu An looked at Fu Yu and realized that Fu Yu did not have any reaction when she heard about heavenly techniques and elixirs. He did not lack such things, and compared to being a tall tree that attracts the wind, he wanted to live longer.
"That's not the reason." Lu An looked at his teacher and said awkwardly, "I just feel that I am not good enough to participate in such a competition. It's better to give the quota to someone else."
After saying that, Lu An gave Fu Yu a look and the two of them quietly walked out.
"Stop!" Suddenly, a shout stopped the two of them. Both of them paused and turned around, only to see Han Ying's gloomy face.
"You have to go even if you don't want to!" Han Ying's expression was quite unsightly, and she was so angry that her body trembled as she said, "I'm a teacher, and I have the right to order you all to participate!"
"…"
Lu An stared at Han Ying with his mouth agape. He had thought that Teacher Han was an understanding woman …
"Don't look at me like that. You forced me to do this!" Han Ying was furious. She looked at Lu An and said, "Lu An, originally, the top ten students of the school were chosen to participate in this competition. But now, the first place student has been kicked out of the school by you, and the third place student is bedridden because of you. If I don't take responsibility for this, who else should I take responsibility for this?"
"…" Lu An looked embarrassed when he heard this.
"That has nothing to do with me." Fu Yu finally opened her mouth and said softly, "I'm leaving."
"You can't leave!" Just as Fu Yu turned around to leave, Han Ying said loudly, "You're his roommate. If he does something wrong, you have to take responsibility too!"
"…"
Fu Yu glanced at Han Ying, and then looked at Lu An. Her eyes seemed to say that he was the one who was causing trouble for her.
Lu An's heart softened when Fu Yu looked at him with her beautiful eyes. He turned to Han Ying and said, "Teacher …"
"Say no more, there's no room for discussion!" Han Ying waved her hand and rejected all of Lu An's requests. She said loudly, "The competition will start in half a month's time, and we need to leave in a week. Take care of yourselves for the next few days, and don't cause any more trouble!"
With that, Han Ying looked at Lu An worriedly and said loudly, "Especially you! Even if you're injured, I'll carry you there. Don't play any tricks with me! "
"…"
Lu An was speechless and could only nod. Fu Yu nodded slightly at the side, but she was obviously not interested in such things.
However, at this moment, Lu An still had something to worry about. Before he left, he still had something to do.

Five days later, at the Starfire Summit.
The annual Starfire Summit was extremely grand, and it could be said to be a huge carnival in Starfire City. This was the best place for all the families and Chambers of Commerce to display their strength, and it was also the place where the conflicts of interest were the most concentrated.
The Starfire Summit was held at the Starfire Arena in the center of the city, which was not far from the City Lord's Mansion. Moreover, the Starfire Summit was open to the public, and all civilians could enter and visit. This way, not only could it show the prosperity of Starfire City, but it could also show the great strength of the City Lord's Mansion.
Early in the morning, when the sky was still bright, the entire Starfire City moved. Countless people rushed to the Starfire Arena, and when the sun rose, it was already full of people. The huge Starfire Arena was full, and even the aisles were filled with people. Everyone was looking forward to this year's Starfire Summit.
After all, to these civilians, being able to see so many Heavenly Masters in action was no small matter.
The rules of the competition were also very simple. Currently, all the resources in Starfire City had been completely distributed. If a family wanted the resources of another family, they would have to take the initiative to issue a challenge, and the challenged family could not refuse. If they won, the resources would belong to the other party. If they lost, they would also have to pay a certain price.
Meanwhile, today's highlight would definitely be the competition between the Starfire Commerce Chamber of Commerce and the Alkaid Chamber of Commerce. This was also what everyone was looking forward to.
"Today, the Alkaid Chamber of Commerce will definitely issue a challenge to the Starfire Commerce Chamber of Commerce. Just watch!" In the stands, people were discussing non-stop, and everyone was very excited.
"Of course. Currently, these two Chambers of Commerce are the biggest in the entire city. Moreover, they have long been incompatible with each other. Today is going to be a good show!"
"…"
The stands were in an uproar, and in the various waiting areas inside the arena, every family was making their final preparations.
In the Alkaid Chamber of Commerce's room …
"Is everyone ready?" Liu Yi asked everyone loudly.
"We're ready!" More than a dozen people roared in unison, their voices shaking the entire room. Liu Yi looked at these people with satisfaction, a smile appearing on her face.
Waving her hand, Liu Yi had these people sit down and wait. She then walked to the back of the room and sat down beside a slightly short person.
This person was dressed in black and wore a veiled hat. He looked like he could not be seen, and his attire was very different from everyone else's. When he saw Liu Yi sitting beside him, a bitter smile appeared on his face under the veiled hat.
"How are you feeling? Nervous?" Liu Yi asked with a smile.
"I'm alright. It's just that this is my first time wearing this to battle." Lu An said with a bitter smile. He then looked at Liu Yi and asked, "Speaking of which, there are so many people here. If someone finds out that you're in the Alkaid Chamber of Commerce's team, won't the Starfire Commerce Chamber of Commerce discover that you're a spy?"
"That's right," Liu Yi smiled when she heard this. She then looked at Lu An and said, "I didn't think that you would care about your sister."
"…"
"It's fine. Don't worry." Liu Yi raised her head and looked at the door in front of her. She then smiled and said, "Today, I want the Starfire Commerce Chamber of Commerce to know. No, I want the entire Starfire City to know that I, Liu Yi, am the true master!"
