The group from Starfire Academy finally boarded the carriage and set off for their destination.
There were a total of five carriages on the road, with each carriage carrying three people. There were no coachmen to drive the horses, and everything was done by the students themselves.
Very quickly, just after dawn, the group left the city and walked onto a small road in the countryside. The road was not bad, and the carriages were moving steadily. At this time, everyone was very energetic and chatting in the carriage.
Lu An and Fu Yu were naturally in the same carriage as Han Ying. The curtains were pulled open, and Lu An was driving the horse in front while the two women sat in the carriage.
Fu Yu was obviously not sleepy in the morning, and her beautiful eyes were looking at the scenery outside the window. Han Ying, on the other hand, was looking down at the paper in her hand, which seemed to be related to the competition.
Lu An was driving the horse, and the carriages in front were very noisy. Everyone was very excited. After a while, he broke the silence and asked, "Teacher, how many days do we have to travel?"
"Four days." Han Ying did not even raise her head as she said, "We will arrive at noon on the fourth day, and then rest for two and a half days before the competition begins."
Four days?
Lu An was stunned. Based on the speed of the carriage, the distance to the city was not too far, at most a thousand miles. There were only two or three cities nearby, and he could not help but ask, "Teacher, which city are we going to?"
"You still don't know?" Han Ying looked up at Lu An and said in surprise, "I thought you all knew. To Skylight City."
Skylight City?
Hearing these three words, Lu An's face darkened.
Even though Lu An was driving the horse, the sudden silence still attracted the attention of the two women. Han Ying was stunned and asked Lu An, "What is it? Is there a problem? "
Lu An's back did not move, as if he was sitting still. After three breaths, just as Han Ying was about to ask again, he said lightly, "No."
Han Ying frowned, but her mind was on the paper in her hand, so she did not pay much attention to it and continued reading. She could not see Lu An's face, so she did not know that his expression was frighteningly gloomy.
"The papers in my hand contain information on the students of each academy." Han Ying frowned as she looked at the thick stack of papers in her hands and said, "The students of these academies are not to be underestimated. But the strength on paper is a little scary, not to mention the things that aren't written in the information. "
"Let's not talk about the top few academies from last year. Even the academies in the bottom half have grown quite a bit. Every student was a Level 9 Celestial, and every student knew at least one Level 1 Heaven Technique. There were even some who knew two or more Heaven Techniques. In a battle between Celestials, every additional Heavenly Art is a huge advantage! "
After Han Ying finished speaking, she looked at the two students with a serious expression. However, she was surprised to find that the two students were not listening to her at all. She could not help but feel embarrassed.
"I know both of you are very powerful, but don't underestimate your opponents!" Han Ying frowned and said seriously, "My love rival's men can be killed at any time. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win! "
Fu Yu, who had been leaning against the window and enjoying the scenery, finally moved. She turned to look at Han Ying. Although she did not say a word, her eyes were telling Han Ying, "Just say it, I'm listening."
Lu An also finally moved. Without turning his head, he said, "Teacher, I'm listening."
"Mm." Seeing this, Han Ying's expression softened a little. She lowered her head to look at the information and said, "According to the past results, there are three academies that are in the top three every year, and they are all strong contenders for the championship. They are Wide Deer Academy, Yang Tong Academy, and Tianmu Academy. Among them, the champion last year was Wide Deer Academy. They were first in both the individual and five-man ranking battles, and third in the two-man ranking battles. "
"It can be said that the individuals in Wide Deer Academy are very strong. Every one of them knows at least two Heavenly Arts, and their control of Heavenly Yuan is very pure. They are not at all like Celestials. This is because Wide Deer Academy places great importance on the cultivation of their students' control of Heavenly Yuan. They do not require their students to advance quickly, but to build a good foundation at a slow pace. Therefore, in this aspect, Wide Deer Academy's students have a great advantage. "
"Yang Tong Academy's results last year were third in the individual competition, second in the two-man competition, and second in the five-man competition. Although their individual strength is very strong, they are slightly inferior to Wide Deer Academy and Tianmu Academy. However, their teamwork is very strong. This is also because Yang Tong Academy places great importance on teamwork between students. "
"As for Tianmu Academy, they were second in the individual competition, first in the two-man competition, and third in the five-man competition last year. The reason is very simple. Last year, Tianmu Academy had a pair of twins. Their strength was outstanding, and their teamwork was flawless. Therefore, they were first in the two-man competition. "
"But …" Han Ying slapped the paper and looked up. "These are all from last year. These people were all students with one foot in the Celestial Master realm last year. Now, they are basically all Celestial Masters. As for this year's information, we can only dig for information from various sources. "
"As far as I know, the most powerful academy this year is probably Wide Deer Academy." Han Ying paused and frowned. "And Tianmu Academy."
Lu An frowned and raised his head slightly. He took a light breath and asked, "Teacher, please explain."
Hearing Lu An's question, Han Ying thought that he was very interested and said, "According to the news from Wide Deer Academy, their current top student is someone who is about to enter the Celestial Master realm. It is said that for this competition, he suppressed his advancement and is waiting to advance immediately after the competition! "
"Not only that, this person has mastered both the wood and fire attributes, and knows two Heaven Techniques for each attribute. In other words, he knows four Heaven Techniques!" Han Ying's frown deepened. "He will be a strong opponent for your championship."
However, Lu An did not care at all. His expression did not change as he frowned and asked, "What about Tianmu Academy?"
"Tianmu Academy has a student in the same situation this year. This is also why I said that these two academies are the strongest," Han Ying said with a serious expression. Han Ying's expression was quite serious as she said, "This person has grasped the fire, metal, and earth elements, and each element knows a Heaven Art. Switching between the three attributes in battle is very difficult to guard against. "
"Whether it is Wide Deer Academy or Tianmu Academy, the people in their hands are not ordinary level-9 Celestials. Ordinary level-9 Celestials are almost instantly killed when fighting with them, so the two of you have to be extra careful! "Han Ying looked at the two of them worriedly and said in a low voice.
Hearing Han Ying's advice, Fu Yu turned to look out of the window with a look that said, "You're finally done." Lu An nodded heavily, and a strong murderous aura appeared on his face that the two of them could not see.
However, only their last carriage was so oppressive, and the carriages in front were even singing. In the last week, it was more important for them to relax. Only by fighting with a calm mind would he be able to bring out the best of himself.
Along the way, the group took turns driving the carriage. Only the last carriage was driven by Lu An, and it lasted for four consecutive days.
Just as Han Ying said, the group arrived outside Tianmu City at noon on the fourth day.
In front of them was the west gate of Tianmu City. The city gate was solemn and majestic, and the words "Tianmu City" were written in big letters. However, looking at the city gate, the grandeur was much greater than that of Meteor Trail City.
Tianmu City was one of the wealthiest cities in the Southeast region, and it was ranked third among the eight cities. Meteor Trail City was one of the last cities in the Southeast region. Otherwise, it would not be famous for its starlight at night, but for its economy.
Below the city gate, the crowd was moving. Looking at the people walking back and forth in a hurry, and the carriages carrying many goods, it was a scene of prosperous trade. This scene was incomparable to that of Meteor Trail City.
Although most of the students were from wealthy families, most of them had never left the city before. It was not that they were poor, but it was too troublesome to leave the city once. Therefore, when they saw Tianmu City for the first time, they sighed from the bottom of their hearts.
"This city gate is so big! It's so much bigger than our Meteor Trail City's! "A student exclaimed.
"Yes, we can definitely buy many things that we can't buy in Meteor Trail City. We must take a good look around these few days!"
"I brought quite a lot of money this time, I must squander it!"
"…"
Hearing the students' discussion, the teachers only smiled and did not stop them. When they arrived in front of the city gate, everyone had to dismount and be checked. Han Ying and Fu Yu also dismounted and walked forward beside the carriage.
Seeing the students discussing so enthusiastically, even Han Ying smiled and could not help but ask the students in front of her loudly, "Do any of you know why Tianmu City is so prosperous?"
The students walking in front were stunned and looked at each other. They shook their heads and looked at Han Ying expectantly.
Han Ying smiled. Just as she was about to answer, a heavy voice came from beside her.
"Because of the slaves," Lu An said.
