C24 (1/2)

In the middle of Eastsea City's Martial Arts Practice Grounds was an enormous battle stage with a height of a hundred meters. The entire battle stage was made of the hardest bluestones and even after dozens of years of erosion and thousands of fierce battles, the entire battle stage was still completely undamaged.

Xue Long raised his head arrogantly, as if he didn't care about anyone else. He, He Yu, Fang Ruyu, and the other young elites from the TianChu Martial Academy, accompanied by the Patriarchs of the three great families, stepped onto the central platform.

At this moment, there were only eight people standing on the extremely wide central battle stage. It appeared unusually empty.

Xue Long crossed his arms in front of his chest and slightly closed his eyes. He didn't say a single word, as if he was waiting for someone.

As for He Yu, Fang Ruyu and the other three young elites, they glanced arrogantly around the training field. Their eyes were filled with disdain, as if no one among the hundreds of thousands of people in Eastsea City was worthy in their eyes.

All the people on the central platform were caught in the eyes of the hundreds of thousands of people nearby. Therefore, the first round of discussions had begun.

”Why are you so arrogant?”

”Yesterday, it was that group of people that were defeated by the Grand Princess's sword strike. Are they trying to escape?”

”I wonder where their pride came from!”

”If the Grand Princess was so arrogant, I'd have to endure it. The third level of the Celestial Phenomenon Mirror can reverse the fifth level of the Celestial Phenomenon Mirror. This kind of heaven's pride level expert does indeed have the right to be arrogant, but as the loser, why is Xue Long so arrogant?”

Due to the momentum of the TianChu Martial Academy, the citizens of Eastsea City only dared to whisper amongst themselves. However, if the whispers of several hundred thousand people were gathered together, it would create a terrifying sound wave!

There were no surprises. The eight people on the central platform could clearly hear the sounds of discussion coming from all around them.

The expressions of He Yu, Fang Ruyu, and the other three young elites instantly turned cold.

Last night, the reason why he was humiliated in the Lan Clan was because of the peerless genius Chu Qingcheng from the Lan Clan. Yet now, she was being mocked by a bunch of ordinary citizens. What was this?

As for Xue Long, the leader of TianChu Martial Academy's forces who came to Eastsea City, she found it hard to bear. After all, he was the one who was reversed last night, and the one who was defeated by someone two levels lower than himself was also him!

”Shut up!” Xue Long suddenly opened his eyes and shouted in a deep voice. His voice was mixed with a trace of spirit energy and could clearly be heard by everyone. It could even shock a person's soul.

For a time, the central square, which had hundreds of thousands of people gathered, descended into a strange silence.

The surroundings quieted down, and Xue Long's expression finally eased up a bit.

Xue Long growled again. ”Xia Xing, are you here?”

”I'm afraid he won't dare to come.” He Yu laughed coldly, ”Instructor Xue, it's fine if Xia Xinghe doesn't show up. But if Xia Xinghe really does show up, then let's follow the plan and make him die a graveless death.”

Xue Long did not respond to He Yu's words and only nodded his head lightly. Then, Xue Long once again infused his Spiritual Qi into his voice and shouted in a deep voice, ”I am Xue Long, one of the eight great instructors of the TianChu Martial Academy. Now, I will officially announce the commencement of the TianChu Martial Academy's admissions examination.”

”There are three stages to this exam. Those who pass these three stages will be able to join the TianChu Martial Academy.”
