Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 692
The atmosphere on the last day of the Introductory Ceremony was very different.

Ying Baoyue lifted the curtain of the car, and from a distance, she could see the crowds of people at the foot of Zihua Mountain.There were even a lot of people who looked like foreigners among them, who obviously came from afar, just to watch this final decisive battle.

The change in Tianmu Mountain last night obviously did not affect Zihua Mountain.When Ying Baoyue and the others arrived at the foot of the mountain, they saw that not only the mess caused by the trampling of the people yesterday had been restored, but even the mountain road leading to Jixia Academy had been repaired, and silk flowers were even tied to the trees beside the stone steps.

There was a lot of people at the foot of the mountain. Although many people arrived, they were all stopped at the foot of the mountain by the imperial guards.

The carriage of the National Teacher's Mansion stopped at the foot of Zihua Mountain.

"So many people?" Gui Chen opened the curtain of the car, speechless, and frowned again when he saw the people stopped at the foot of the mountain, "Why don't people go up?"

"There will be many important people coming on the last day." Ji Jiashu jumped out of the carriage and held out his hand to Ying Baoyue. "According to the rules, practitioners and nobles from aristocratic families go up the mountain first, and then let the people go up the mountain to avoid accidents."

"Thank you," Ying Baoyue got off the carriage, looking around with a complicated expression.

"After all, there are a lot of people here today, and this is for safety," Ji Jiashu looked at Ying Baoyue and explained further, knowing that she never cared about her status.

"It's really complicated," Ying Baoyue replied.She really doesn't like this sequence of going up the mountain, but it's not easy enough to let the people in to watch the primary ceremony.

The number of spectators at the foot of Zihua Mountain today was the most she had ever seen from different countries. Although there were people from other countries who came to visit in the previous rounds, most of them were locals from Southern Chu.

But among the people who were stopped at the bottom of the mountain this last time, the locals from Nanchu seemed to account for at most one-third, and the rest of the spectators had a variety of accents and appearances.

This is probably the most suitable occasion for spies from other countries to mix in. Such a mixed crowd dared to let them all go up the mountain, and only a powerful country like Nanchu had the confidence and ability to control this scene.

Nan Chu obviously also attaches great importance to this matter. The number of imperial troops controlling the crowd at the foot of the mountain is ten times what Jiang Yuanyuan brought yesterday, and there will only be more people on the mountain to protect the nobles.

Nanchu has held so many elementary ceremonies, and basically there have been no major disturbances or assassinations, which is enough to prove its strength.

At this time, other practitioners who participated in today's decisive battle arrived one after another, and they all went up the mountain under the protection of the forbidden army. As long as they can play today, almost the whole family will come to cheer for their son. .

It was the first time for Gui Chen to see such a big scene, and he couldn't help but gasp, "Although it's the last battle, there are too many people here."

"How many people are there?"

At this time, a boy's laughter came from beside him, and everyone was taken aback when they heard the reputation and saw who the speaker was.

"Second Highness?" Although Ji Jiashu sensed this person's aura first, he didn't expect this person to come up so quickly, "You haven't gone up yet?"

Gui Chen looked at Jiang Yuanyuan who suddenly appeared behind him, and almost choked on his breath.

After all, no one expected that the Second Prince of Nanchu would suddenly stand behind him.

As for why this person is standing behind him... Gui Chen personally thinks that he and Ying Baoyue were standing too close to get a person in between, otherwise His Highness Nanchu would have appeared between them.

"Come on, you haven't shown up for a long time and I was worried that you wouldn't come," as expected, through his shoulder, Guichen saw Jiang Yuanyuan poking his head to look at Ying Baoyue and said.

"Second Highness," Ying Baoyue probably hadn't been this close to the royal boy for a long time, and saluted him after being startled.

"This is my duel, why wouldn't I come." She smiled and said.

"Really? But last night..." Jiang Yuanyuan returned the salute, squinting at the pale face of the girl in front of him as if he wanted to say something, but he looked at Ji Jiashu's expression on the side and he didn't say any more. He just looked at Guichen and continued the topic just now with great interest .

"Speaking of this scene, you think there are too many people?" Jiang Yuanyuan looked around at the crowd at the foot of Zihua Mountain and shrugged his shoulders to the teenagers and girls beside the carriage, "You haven't seen Jiashu's class before."

Three years ago, during the last primary ceremony, the threshold of Jixia Academy was almost broken in order to watch three of the six sons of the Warring States Period compete with the disciples of Beihan Pavilion.

"When your Royal Highness, the fiancé, got the leader, the number of onlookers was at least double that of now," Jiang Yuanyuan raised his chin and pointed at Ji Jiashu.

"What are you talking about now?" Ji Jiashu felt a little uncomfortable, "Besides, those people didn't just come to see me."

"That's true," Jiang Yuanyuan nodded.

The reason why the last elementary ceremony was so sensational was that there were too many famous participants.

"I think back when you, Fenghua, Guanghua and Tuoba Xun decided to enter the semi-finals together, the whole Danyang City almost went crazy." Jiang Yuanyuan sighed.

In the world of practice, the semifinalists in the final round of the preliminary ceremony have an unusual significance.

There are many talents in the practice world, and three to five years is almost a generation, and the top four remaining in each elementary ceremony represent the strongest force among young practitioners of that era.

Even if they were not the strongest at the time, those practitioners would prove their potential later on.

And since the preliminary ceremony was held until now, Ji Jiashu and his team's semi-finalists were recognized as the strongest lineup.

Lord Chunhua of Southern Chu, Lord Guanghua of Northern Wei Dynasty, Lord Fenghua of Later Liao Dynasty, plus Tuoba Xun, the strongest disciple of Beihan Pavilion.

Gathered the strongest practitioners under the age of 20 from the three countries of Southern Chu, Northern Wei, and Later Liao.

"It means Mr. Zhaohua doesn't participate in the primary ceremony, otherwise the three powers will be able to gather the strongest," Jiang Yuanyuan looked at Ji Jiashu and said with a smile.

"If that person participates, I won't be the leader." Ji Jiashu said quietly.

"It is rumored that he has a higher realm than you, but who knows for sure when it comes to fighting," Jiang Yuanyuan said with a frown. Compared to the mysterious Soochow Zhaohua Lord, he was naturally facing Ji Jiashu.

He looked towards Ying Baoyue, "Hasn't someone already proved that crossing the border can defeat opponents?"

Ji Jiashu was taken aback for a moment, but Jiang Yuanyuan's expression became serious, and he looked at Ying Baoyue and said calmly, "The practitioners participating in the battle today are all of the sixth rank."

Ji Jiashu looked at Ying Baoyue. The realm she temporarily rose to last night has been suppressed, and her current realm is still at rank seven.

In other words, the opponents she faces today are all of a higher realm than her.

What's more terrible is that the rest of the people are already full of energy after last night's rest, and they have a deep family background and supplement consumption of pills, while she...

"It's nothing compared to this. Why is the atmosphere so heavy?" Ying Baoyue laughed, interrupting Ji Jiashu's thoughts and looking around, "This atmosphere is not worthy of so many cheering people."

"Although it's not as good as Jiashu's class, but there are indeed a lot of people this time," Jiang Yuanyuan followed her gaze and sighed a little.

Although it was not as good as the previous one, but in terms of the participants, there were already many more people who came to see the excitement this time than he expected.

After all, among the cultivators who participated in the elementary ceremony this year, there were not many famous people beforehand, and it was nothing compared to Ji Jiashu's group of stars in that year.

Originally, the number of people expected by the royal family of Southern Chu was only half of the current number, but the officials who arrived at the scene first saw that the momentum was wrong, and returned to the palace to report that they wanted to add so many forbidden troops.

"There are indeed more people from various countries than the examiners estimated," Ji Jiashu also looked at the crowd and said, "This is..."

"Why, didn't you notice?" Jiang Yuanyuan patted Ji Jiashu's shoulder, feeling the gazes cast from all directions, looked at Ying Baoyue and spoke quietly.

"These people are all here to see her."
