Chapter 316 (1/2)

Pre-Competition Preparations (1)

“Teacher, when are Ye Lanyu and the rest coming back? We’ve got to head to Sheng City to prep!” a student asked Strongman.

This was the tenth day they’d arrived at the city. After the first day Ye Lanyu and the two other girls stepped into the House of Confusion, they never returned, as if they had already forgotten what they were here for.

Forget about attending training, they still hadn’t shown up despite having to leave for the inner city soon!

This did not mean the inner city was already open to everyone. Only participants from academies, after registration, could enter the inner city to prepare for the competition.

Participants naturally had special privileges!

“I don’t know when they’re coming back either. We don’t have to wait for them, we can enter the city first. I don’t think they need to register to enter!” frowned Strongman, but it didn’t bother him.

The students asked again, “Why? Sheng City’s not open to the public right now, and we can only enter because we registered first. Do you mean they’ll only enter when the city opens to the public?”

He waved, “That won’t be necessary. Don’t you know who that messenger was? Also, haven’t you all heard of Ye Lang’s status in this area?”

“The messenger? Who?” none of the students noticed, they thought the messenger from the other day was just a regular person.

“He was a Light Rider, a very high-ranked one too! He was a Di Level fighter!” said Strongman.

“What?! No way…” The students were a little, no, very surprised!

“You can ask Ye Zhiqing too, she’ll definitely know! Think about it. If they could get a high-ranked Light Rider to send a message, how hard would it be for them to enter Sheng City?” said Strongman.

“Also, didn’t you notice how the Light Rider talked about Ye Lang? He said ‘sir’! Not only the Light Rider, but the entire city also seems to either call him sir, gentleman, or genius doctor- all with respect!”

Someone among the students nodded, “Yep! That’s right! Ye Lang is one of the most respected figures in this area! We’ve heard many stories about him during our stay here. His alchemy skills have reached a godly state, almost no one is even close to his level!”

“When they used to say Ye Lang was an alchemy genius, I was a little sceptical. Now it looks like I must believe them!”

“Yep, looks like our Ye Academy will at least win in the alchemy category!”

No one questioned Ye Lang’s ability to win in the alchemy competition. Even the rest of the participants would not deny this fact, other than the ones who did not know his true capabilities.
