C22 (1/2)

The one in first place was naturally Kong Han. Kong Han's strength was obviously stronger than all the other participants, and the fact that he had easily eliminated three participants who were also at the third level of Qi Condensation was proof of that.

If it wasn't for the internal conflict in the academy, if Zheng Kuan didn't meet Kong Han, he would have been qualified to enter the finals. In the eyes of the dean of Iron Martial Academy, this was very possible.

And now, Zheng Kuan, who had been secretly placed high hopes on, had actually been defeated by Yi Zhou, who was the least optimistic before the competition.

Du Wei's heart was finally at ease. He did not have a detailed understanding of the limits of Yi Zhou's abilities.

In his mind, everyone had their own path to growth. He admired Yi Zhou and had even thought of a long-term plan for him. But he did not want to interfere with Yi Zhou's growth.

If Yi Zhou had something to ask him, then he would naturally answer their questions. If not, then Yi Zhou would naturally grow.

Through Si Qi's description, he had a general impression of Yi Zhou's strength, but he had absolutely never thought that the current Yi Zhou, would actually be able to directly talk to him and even obtain victory when facing Zheng Kuan's extraordinary display just now!

Good boy, so you have already grown to this stage.

Du Wei shook his head and laughed, but his heart was filled with pride. After all, Yi Zhou was something that he had dug up.

Good!

The surrounding commoners started to clap their hands. They were focused on the outcome of the competition. As for the significance, those were the matters of the grand characters.

A little further away from the competition grounds was the royal family's Star Observation Hall.

Currently, some of the royal nobles and ministers of the Azure Sun Dynasty were watching the competition from the Star Observation Tower.

As the biggest and most grand competition in the Azure Sun Empire, it would naturally attract the attention of their upper echelons.

In the past, they had also been there to watch the competition. However, something had happened before. Someone used a power that exceeded their control in order to attract their attention, resulting in the deaths of two people. They went from watching the competition from the open side to watching it from the shadows.

Grand Duke, the person called Yi Zhou in the competition can definitely excel in the military.

An officer said.

Duke Wei, who was resting with his eyes closed, rubbed his forehead slowly and said softly: It's a pity that he's Du Wei's man.

That Yi Zhou is from my Azure Sun Dynasty, right? How did he become Du Wei's man?

Grand Duke, just who is that Du Wei. As soon as he came to me, he immediately became the Principal of the Azure Sun Academy. How could the king tolerate this? Was he someone from the Tian Zi Country?

The Azure Sun Dynasty was a part of the Tian Zi Country, and although it was only in name, they only needed to pay tribute to them every year.

Elder Wei sighed, and said with a serious face: ”This Du Wei, isn't from the Sky Purple Nation.” However, he came from a certain sect.

Sect!

Those who heard of this for the first time were shocked.

Sects generally transcended the mundane world in order to obtain the true meaning of the Great Way of the Truth.

There weren't any sects in the Azure Sun Empire, but it was said that there were three sects that supported the Sky Purple Nation.

Every nation that stood firm had to have a strong backing to support them. Otherwise, it would only be a matter of time before the nation would be destroyed.

Although the entire East Xuan Continent was vast, those who dared to establish their own kingdoms and inherited their kingdoms were far less than people imagined.

There were many places that existed in the form of dynasties that were attached to a certain country, just like the Azure Sun Dynasty.

Alright, stop thinking about this Yi Zhou. There were even more people that were more outstanding than him and were worth nurturing.

After Yi Zhou finished participating in the morning competition, he directly returned to the Azure Sun Academy.

Congratulations, you actually entered the top four. Si Qi congratulated and smiled on the road.

Senior Martial Brother, I was just lucky and almost lost. Yi Zhou said.

I don't think so. You must still have some energy left in you.

Yi Zhou did not expect that Senior Brother Si Qi's understanding of him was so deep, he could only shake his head and remain silent.

Oh right, the dean is asking you if you have any ideas about the upcoming competition, do you need any support?

The next match? Yi Zhou thought for a while, then revealed his true intentions. Actually, I was only thinking about the reward for third place, the Bone Ablutionary Dan. Moreover, that Kong Han is definitely much stronger than me. If I were to meet him next, I would probably have to admit defeat.

Yes, indeed. That Kong Han was indeed a genius. Si Qi nodded, he understood what Yi Zhou meant.

The dean doesn't want you to get hurt either. It's already good enough for you to be able to do this. What the dean wants from you is to know if you need any rewards.

I don't need it. I owe the dean too much already. Of course, I won't be polite if I have the necessary items later on.

Yi Zhou faintly felt that he was almost tied up with the Principal himself. In the future, if Principal Du Wei had any requests, it would probably be difficult for him to reject.

However, he did not reject this feeling. He could feel that the dean was really sincere in helping him. He never inquired about his privacy, and only asked if there was any need.

Oh right, Senior Brother Si Qi, if you are going to fight against Kong Han, it should be fine, right?

Yi Zhou casually asked.

It was hard to say, but he would only know after comparing the two. Si Qi laughed and said, but the confidence on his face did not lessen.

After returning to the Academy, Yi Zhou directly went to the arena which was specially reserved for him and Si Qi.
