As a lord, I was forced to farm

Chapter 925

"My spirit crystals! I never expected this nobody to win. I've lost all my spirit crystals. What's wrong with those people from the Five Great Academies? Do they even deserve to be called the Five Great Academies?"

There were also some shouts and curses from the crowd, "What's going on this year? Have the five major academies fallen on hard times? Not only did a wild girl from a third-rate sect take the top spot in the Rookie Tournament, but even the top spot in the Fame Tournament was taken by a disciple from an academy that appeared out of nowhere. It's truly shameful!"

Hearing these insults, the people from the five academies all looked very grim.

Gongqing Academy and Lingxuan Academy are slightly better. Although the disciples of these two academies are also very strong in combat, they are more inclined to train weapon refiners and alchemists. Two days ago, the results of the weapon refining competition and the alchemy competition came out, and the disciples of the two academies won the championships of the weapon refining competition and the alchemy competition respectively.

However, the other three academies did not look so good. Mingxiao Academy seemed to be in a slightly better position, with at least two students making it into the top four. But this was Mingxiao's home turf, and failing to take the top spot on home turf would be truly shameful. Some of Mingxiao's elders regretted that they should have tried their best to prevent the Qi family boy from taking the position of academy master.

Despite their thoughts, they also knew that the Qi family was gradually recovering its former strength, supported by two powerful figures. A few days ago, they had also recovered a secret manual containing countless ancient formations. Qi Yu himself had also broken through to the Dan Tian Realm. No one could stop him from taking the position of Palace Master of the Cultivation Academy, even though this Palace Master was too young, younger than ever before.

Mindao Academy also looked grim. Although the academy is still powerful to the outside world, it is clearly declining compared to a hundred years ago, or even a few decades or ten years ago. It should be noted that before Mingxiao Academy appeared, Mindao Academy had always been the champion of the power competition.

The elders and disciples of Xuanqi Academy were even more ashen-faced. The reason was simple: they claimed that the strongest spirit beast masters on the continent were all from Xuanqi Academy, and they had always been among the top three in the competition arena. However, this time, not only did none of their disciples make it into the top four, but their strongest disciple was also crushed by Tian Chi, a spirit beast master from the Beast Academy of Mingxiao Academy!
To outsiders, this means that Xuanqi Academy is not only inferior to Mingxiao Academy in its ability to cultivate cultivators, but also that their proud spirit beast masters are overshadowed by Mingxiao Academy.

At this moment, the moods of the five major academies and other forces had no effect on Hu Lian. His gaze swept over the countless faces below the stage, lingering briefly on the gratified face of Teacher Su Hong, and then sweeping over the happy and excited faces of his companions and younger brother.

His gaze was still searching for something.

Until they saw a person wearing a mask, whose face instantly broke into a smile even more dazzling than the one they had just won.

His Highness has arrived!

……

The noise continued for a long time.

Even after the fighters left the fighting arena, the audience's discussions continued.

At that moment, someone suddenly felt that the name Suhong Academy sounded familiar.

"Actually, five years ago, someone also snatched the championship title from the five major academies." This person's words immediately caused a huge stir in the crowd, and many people remembered it.

"It's Jiang Bole!"

After all, he was the only one to win both titles in the power competition, and he even won both titles by taking them from the five major academies.

In the power competition of the previous four years, quite a few people actually mentioned the name Jiang Bole and asked why they did not see her.

At the time, many people were disappointed, and some even speculated that perhaps the tallest tree in the forest catches the most wind. After all, there were precedents for this; the Cangmiao Continent had countless geniuses, and it was normal for an unknown force to lose such a talent. It was just a pity that this genius had died quietly in some corner. Unexpectedly, news about Jiang Bole was heard again, but this time Jiang Bole was still not seen. Instead, the "Suhong Academy" related to Jiang Bole was mentioned.

"It seems that Suhong Academy is quite extraordinary. I haven't heard any news about this academy in the past few years. Perhaps it was because of some reason that I didn't participate."

The crowd couldn't help but feel excited. The situation of the five major academies had been going on for far too long. In recent years, apart from Jiang Bole's victory and Hu Lian's victory, other forces had at most made it into the top four.

Everyone was tired of the fierce competition between the five major academies, so the emergence of a dark horse at this time added a lot of buzz to the power competition.

"What is the current ranking of Suhong Academy?" Everyone asked with great interest.

The noise was so loud that, at this moment, Mingxiao City, as the organizer of this power competition, actually took the initiative to update the power points ranking in real time, and the origin of each point was presented very clearly. People exclaimed that Mingxiao City's approach was generous and another great innovation in the power competition.

A crowd of onlookers immediately gathered on the Heavenly Ranking.

Many people were looking for the name of Suhong Academy, and finally found it in number twenty-three.

"Twenty-third!"

"I remember that several disciples from Suhong Academy made it to the top eight or even the top four, and there was also a Grand Champion. Their performance in the rookie competition was also outstanding. How come they only ranked twenty-third?"

Twenty-third place is actually a very good result, but many people wanted to see a thrilling scenario where an unknown force defeats a powerful figure who has always been above them. Therefore, the ranking of twenty-third was somewhat disappointing.

Some people were unconvinced and went to investigate the reason for this situation, only to find that Su Hong Academy's performance in both the weapon-refining and alchemy competitions was terrible, especially in the alchemy competition.

The situation was immediately complicated, and some people even mocked, "So Su Hong is a bunch of fighting maniacs, all muscle and no brains."

……

Because Hu Lian won the competition, Su Hong Academy became famous overnight, and countless people paid attention to the performance of Su Hong students in the team competition.

But for Hu Lian and others, this attention is not a good thing.

The disciples from other factions hated them to the core.

Perhaps wanting to regain their footing in the team competition, all the major academies, including Mindao, Xuanqi, Gongqing, and Lingxuan, were competing with Su Hong. This meant that Hu Lian and the others not only had to hunt monsters to find treasures, but also had to avoid people from other academies.

Surrounded by enemies on all sides, fortunately, with the guidance of His Highness the Prince, the students of Suhong Academy seized the advantage that the hunting competitions of the Fame Competition and the Rising Star Competition were separated by only one red line, and that Jiang Xiaowen's strength was unmatched in the Rising Star Competition.

Hu Lian and his group met up with Jiang Xiaowen and her group at the dividing line. The former handed over all the treasures they had found to Jiang Xiaowen for safekeeping, and would retrieve the prey when the hunting competition was about to end. In this way, Su Hong's disciples would not have to worry about other forces stealing their prey and could concentrate on hunting.
