Chapter 327 -0322 Setting off
"Kong Zhong finally made his move.”
Chen Yu looked toward Kong Zhong on the stage.
Since the freshman examination had ended, he hadn’t seen Kong Zhong make a move, and he wondered how strong Kong Zhong had beco.
"Haha, you think you can take my place?”
The woman currently ranked twentieth, a sowhat overweight female contestant, imdiately stepped forward.
This woman had defeated the forr holder of this position and had taken the spot. Her strength was not weak; she was one of the best among those in the Late Innate stage.
The overweight woman looked at Kong Zhong’s appearance and couldn’t help but laugh.
She herself was of an inferior stature and looks, but after seeing Kong Zhong, she felt a sense of comfort in her heart.
"Hmph!”
Kong Zhong sensed her thoughts from the woman’s deanor and let out a low, cold snort.
Go!
Kong Zhong waved his hand, releasing four puppets, among which two were at the Late Innate stage and two at the Innate Middle Stage.
Despite that, puppets ultimately lacked the flexibility of cultivators, had no consciousness of their own, and were rely controlled by Puppet Masters. A single Late Innate stage puppet definitely couldn’t compare to a Late Innate stage cultivator.
Furthermore, the overweight woman was a talent from the No Demon Academy.
As for Kong Zhong’s four puppets, her expression didn’t change in the slightest.
However, Chen Yu, who had so understanding of Kong Zhong, noticed sothing different about the puppets.
For instance, the Giant Bear Puppet and the Monkey Puppet only resembled these animals on the exterior. Upon closer observation, many parts had significant modifications.
Chen Yu speculated that Kong Zhong’s puppetry skills must have greatly improved.
Swoosh swoosh…
Under Kong Zhong’s control, the monkey, giant bear, and two leopard puppets attacked the overweight woman from four directions.
"Just a few puppets!”
The overweight woman was dismissive, and a dark blue hamr appeared in her hand.
Boom boom boom~
She swung the hamr in a spinning motion, unleashing a layer of swirling, cold power.
Centered around her, it was as if a layer of grayish-white ice and snowstorm was spreading in all directions.
"Hehe, let’s first reduce your puppets’ agility, then deal with you, the Puppet Master, and all this will be over.”
The overweight woman thought to herself.
The main approach of a Puppet Master was to use puppets, and their own combat power wasn’t high.
However, the overweight woman found that these puppets were performing well and had strong resistance. But gradually, the four puppets began to slow down in speed and agility under the erosion of the cold and icy power.
"Just an Innate Middle Stage Puppet Master thinks they can take my spot.”
The overweight woman sneered disdainfully.
She charged at Kong Zhong, suddenly swinging her hamr and smashing a nearby leopard puppet to scraps.
What the overweight woman didn’t expect was…
Swoosh!
From the shattered remains of the leopard puppet, a spider puppet suddenly rushed out.
Hiss~
A sturdy strand of web shot out, entangling one of the overweight woman’s arms.
At the sa ti, the other three puppets’ bodies suddenly opened up empty square spaces, from which spider puppets flew out, each spitting out a thread of web.
In an instant, the overweight woman’s limbs were all bound by the webs.
"Break!”
The overweight woman struggled with all her might, her True Qi surged wildly, and a wave of cold power spread along the webs, trying to destroy the spider puppets.
Just then, Kong Zhong extended a tal arm, from which a purple-golden hook claw shot out, aiming for the overweight woman’s chest.
Bang!
The woman’s clothes on her chest tore apart, but the treasure armor inside withstood so of the force.
Still, she spit out a mouthful of blood, her face turning ashen.
At that mont, the giant bear, leopard, and monkey puppets imdiately launched an attack.
The overweight woman desperately defended herself but was ultimately blasted off the challenge stage.
"I’ve won!”
Kong Zhong revealed a hint of a smile.
All around, there was a stir of amazent.
Previously, they had not been optimistic about this Innate Middle Stage Puppet Master.
But the puppetry skills and adaptability Kong Zhong displayed astonished them greatly.
"Black Star Master, this disciple of yours is no ordinary individual!”
So teachers and instructors said to the one-eyed Black Star Master.
"It seems Brother Kong is not confident enough with himself,” remarked Chen Yu with a light smile.
Just now, Kong Zhong had been fairly calm, as if he still hadn’t played his trump card.
Following Kong Zhong’s challenge, Yu Hong once again initiated a challenge.
After two consecutive losses, he no longer had the capacity to strike for the top ten, so he challenged the fourteenth rank.
If he was overconfident and aid for the top ten, a failure could lead to injury, and he might not even grab a spot at all.
Soon, the battle for the spots ca to an end.
"Next, you can challenge those ranked higher than you, and if you win, you can take their place. The final ranking will also be your position on the No Demon Academy’s leaderboards,” said the extrely senior branch president once again.
Chen Yu wasn’t interested in that; it was rely so extra fa and had no great practical use.
But among the twenty, there were a few who valued their ranking in the academy and initiated challenges.
The most significant movent was Wei Bin, ranked fifteenth, who challenged the eighth rank. After a long battle, he finally won by a narrow margin.
Wei Bin had not given his all in his previous fight, which was clear for all to see. His breakthrough into the top ten thus wasn’t too surprising.
Ultimately, the twenty spots for the No Demon Academy’s competition were decided.
Among them, Wu Heng, Luo Haotian, Ren Han, and others at the front of the rankings were never challenged from the start to the finish.
Countless spectators surrounding the area looked at these twenty individuals with envious and admiring eyes.
These twenty individuals are currently the strongest twenty at the No Demon Academy, set to represent the academy in the entire Yun Zhao Country’s academy competition.
"This is the information related to the academy’s grand competition. After all twenty of you return, take a look!”
A teacher took out twenty small booklets and distributed one to each person.
Returning to his residence, Chen Yu flipped through the booklet.
Firstly, the booklet contained records of student information from the four major academies, as well as twenty to thirty of the top academies.
"Duan Xinyue, Ye Chengfeng, Yunhai Zhen among others, are all introduced here!”
Chen Yu’s eyes sparkled with keen light.
The booklet introduced the Cultivation Techniques these individuals practiced, so of their thods, as well as their strengths and weaknesses, among other information.
Of course, these descriptions might only represent the past states of these geniuses and could not guarantee their current strength remained as recorded in the booklet.
Among them, Chen Yu paid special attention to Yunyang Academy.
"Senior Brother Yuan Chen once said that the top ranker of Yunyang Academy is still debatable, as there are at least one or two people who have the capability to challenge for first place!”
Yunyang Academy, truly one of the four major academies, had the most descendants from the Imperial Family and the great clans, hence the possibility of the ergence of such exceptional geniuses was relatively higher.
"The top twenty are all at the Innate Peak!”
After a glance at the intelligence, Chen Yu’s expression slightly trembled.
Unlike No Demon Academy, the top twenty individuals from Yunyang Academy all possessed the cultivation of the Innate Peak stage.
In addition to this information, the booklet also detailed explanations of the competition format.
Previous competitions generally consisted of two segnts.
The first segnt would involve trials or adventures to eliminate the vast majority of the students.
After all, with so many participants in the academy competition, starting with direct ranking battles would waste too much ti.
And the mortality rate in this segnt was relatively high.
The second segnt would then be the ranking battle, determining the student rankings in Yun Zhao Country!
Additionally, there were a few competitions that added another segnt in the middle with the purpose of testing or eliminating students.
Besides this, regarding rewards,
Almost every competition featured Origin Transformation Pills that could increase the chances of breaking through to the Guiyuan Realm, as well as top-grade treasures, massive amounts of Spirit Stones, titles, and land grants.
"I wonder what the rewards for this competition will be?”
Chen Yu was sowhat expectant.
According to the intelligence, the rewards for each competition were progressively increasing, surpassing those of the previous competitions.
That night, Yuan Chen ca to visit.
"Senior Brother, why have you co? We are departing in three days.”
Chen Yu asked.
"This is from Master for you.”
Yuan Chen took out two items from his storage bag.
One was a black and purple bead that Chen Yu recognized; it was with this bead that he had managed to kill the Fiery Fire Demon Lizard and avert the crisis in the Demon Bone Wilderness underground.
"This is a Communication Talisman, which might prove useful when the ti cos!”
Yuan Chen handed the second item to Chen Yu.
Chen Yu did not decline and received both items.
The power of the black and purple bead could rival a full-strength strike from soone in the Guiyuan Realm and, if used well, could even kill soone of that level.
As for the Communication Talisman, it would allow Chen Yu to send out a distress ssage to Yuan Chen.
For the first ti, Chen Yu felt how much his Master, Yi Lantian, valued him.
"With these few items, as long as you can make it through the first segnt, breaking into the top fifty should not be a problem.”
Yuan Chen said with a calm smile, then left the residence.
In the academy competition, only the top fifty received rewards, so making it into the top fifty was considered an achievent.
But Chen Yu’s goal was not just the top fifty.
"If I give it my all, I should be able to break into the top twenty!”
Chen Yu estimated in his heart.
He spent the remaining ti in seclusion, studying the “Heavenly Demon Secret Pattern Record.”
The stronger his power, the better ranking he could achieve in the academy competition.
Three days later.
Everyone gathered at a square inside the academy.
The square was already crowded with several students and so of the academy’s top brass.
Half an hour later, the majority of people had arrived.
Swoosh!
Suddenly, a figure in a black robe appeared in the sky, with a sleeping wildcat draped over his shoulder.
As everyone’s eyes followed the figure, he suddenly appeared on the ground.
"So fast!”
Everyone was taken aback, as they had not seen the trajectory of the person’s movent technique.
"Vice Principal!”
All the higher-ups saluted in unison.
Among the twenty students, several had never seen the Vice Principal before and showed expressions of surprise and admiration.
Had it not been for the academy competition, they likely wouldn’t have had the chance to et the Vice Principal even after graduating.
"Let’s go!”
The Vice Principal’s black robe fluttered, and Demonic Qi rolled around him.
The next mont, a bizarre Demon Beast appeared in the square that spanned several dozen zhang.
It had a large head and body covered in scales, and yet it sported a pair of black wings.
With a flap of its wings, it sent out a foul wind and dark wave, making many students at the Late Innate stage feel oppressed and short of breath.
"A Guiyuan Realm flying mount!”
All the students looked on with envy, as the Demon Beast’s grade also seed extraordinary.
Swoosh, swoosh~
Twenty people all boarded the creature.
The Guiyuan Realm flying mount suddenly flapped its wings, carrying everyone away into the distance.
In less than half a day, they arrived at the Royal City of Tianhe Prefecture, and after activating a large teleportation formation, everyone was teleported to Yunyang Holy Mansion.
