Battle Through the Heavens: The Inner Struggle of Cultivation Brings Xiao Yan to Tears

Page 216

At Canaan College, in a huge square, several elderly men were standing.

These individuals all possessed extremely powerful auras.

Stone steps continue to extend around the square.

There are plenty of seats around.

Now, all these seats are filled with students from the outer academy of Canaan College.

Those sitting at the very front are this year's freshmen.

However, even though there are plenty of seats, many students are still standing in the back.

The entire square resembled a gladiatorial arena.

Xiao Yang also sat in the front, with Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor.

He glanced around and saw that there were several thousand students from the Foreign Languages Department alone!

Moreover, these may not be all!

In the square, standing in the center of the crowd, an elderly man with white hair and beard spoke.

"I am Hu Qian, the vice dean of the School of Foreign Languages."

"Today is the annual Foreign Languages Department competition."

"A total of 312 people participated in this competition!"

"Among them are even freshmen who have just joined the academy!"

As he spoke, Hu Qian glanced in Xiao Yang's direction.

As the strongest freshman since the establishment of Canaan Academy, Hu Qian had certainly heard of it.

If it weren't for the fact that he would be able to see Xiao Yang at the Outer Court Competition, Hu Qian would have even wanted to go and see just how monstrous Xiao Yang was.

According to Wu Tianlang, Hu Qian also knew that Xiao Yang had broken through to the Dou Ling level.

Moreover, he had also met Medusa, the newly appointed guest elder of the inner court.

According to Su Qian, the Grand Elder of the Inner Court, the newly arrived elder is even stronger than him.

Hu Qian knew Su Qian's cultivation level.

This made him even more curious about what Xiao Yang was like.

Although he had never met Xiao Yang, he had seen Xiao Yang's portrait.

Therefore, he spotted Xiao Yang in the crowd at a glance.

Facing Hu Qian's gaze, Xiao Yang was not intimidated, but simply smiled faintly.

After all, to him, Hu Qian was nothing more than a matter of annihilation.

"newborn?!"

"How is that possible? Freshmen can participate in the Inner Court Competition?"

"Could this new student be a nine-star Dou Zhe or even a Dou Shi right from the start?"

"How would you rate this potential? SSSSSSSSSS level (nine levels)?"

"The new students are probably just going up there for a trial, and they'll probably be defeated very quickly."

"..."

Upon hearing that freshmen were participating in this competition, the students from Canaan College who had come to watch the match erupted in excitement.

Only the freshmen in this year's class are still relatively confused.

Because many of them don't yet know what the Foreign Languages Department's competition means.

"Quiet."

Hu Qian's voice instantly resounded throughout the entire venue.

A terrifying aura emanated from him.

Although his voice was very flat.

However, everyone present could hear his voice.

The authoritative voice, combined with the terrifying aura, instantly silenced the square so profound you could hear a pin drop.

"The Outer Court Grand Competition is an annual tradition of Canaan Academy..."

After Hu Qian explained the purpose of the Outer Courtyard Competition and the differences between the Outer Courtyard and the Inner Courtyard, the freshmen present understood the significance of the Outer Courtyard Competition.

Upon learning of the wonders of the inner courtyard and that the library actually possessed Earth-rank cultivation techniques and combat skills, the new students were all excited.

They are also very eager to sign up for the Foreign Languages Department's competition.

They had no idea what the inner courtyard was like.

However, they knew about fifth-grade pills and earth-rank cultivation techniques and fighting skills.

Few of the freshmen here have ever been exposed to Xuan-rank techniques and fighting skills, let alone Di-rank techniques and fighting skills.

Next, Hu Qian explained the rules of this competition.

The rules for each major competition are subject to minor adjustments.

This competition will begin with an elimination round.

Each person will play three elimination rounds.

In the end, 39 people will remain.

These 39 people directly entered the top 50.

The remaining 273 people will compete in a ring battle to determine eleven people who will enter the top fifty.

The competition is very fast; the top fifty will be selected in just a few days.

The final fifty people, and how to determine the top five, will be announced later.

"Alright, these are the rules!"

"I hereby declare the Foreign Languages Department Competition to begin!"

After Hu Qian finished speaking, he led several elders to a spot reserved for mentors and high-ranking officials to watch the battle.

Several teachers in charge went into the square and started calling people down to compete.

"Arena No. 1, Liu Moyang from Class 7 of the Yellow Rank vs. Wu Chunsheng from Class 9 of the Yellow Rank!"

"Arena #2, Liu Meiying from Class 6 of the Yellow Rank versus Chen Peisheng from Class 2 of the Black Rank!"

……

"Arena No. 10, Xiao Yang from Class 2 of the Yellow Rank versus Han Moyu from Class 3 of the Profound Rank!"

Upon hearing his name called, Xiao Yang slowly stood up.

Many people around were looking towards where Xiao Yang was.

As many people know, Class 2 of Huangjie is one of the classes of this year's new students.

Many people whispered among themselves as they looked at the young Xiao Yang.

"Is this the freshman participating in this competition?"

"Hmph! He's just got a good-looking face, but as for his strength, I can't tell."

"They should be defeated in the first round, after all, they are students of the Xuan-rank class."

"This freshman is unlucky; he ran into the Xuan-rank class in the very first round."

Within the outer academy, the main difference between the Xuanjie and Huangjie classes lies in the teachers.

Most of the better students are assigned to the Xuanjie class.

The class Ruolin is teaching this time is Huangjie Class 2.

Most class transfers occur at the end of the semester.

Xiao Yang can't transfer classes, and there's no need for it.

The teachers in the foreign language department aren't as capable as him.

Moreover, it's impossible for him to stay in the outer courtyard.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Xiao Yang slowly walked onto the number ten arena.

At this moment, most people's attention in the square was focused on the number ten arena.

Everyone wanted to see what this freshman, who had just entered the academy and already possessed the strength to participate in the outer academy competition, looked like.

Of course, what everyone was most concerned about was the extent of Xiao Yang's strength.

At this moment, in front of Xiao Yang was a tall man with long black hair.

Seeing Xiao Yang's gaze, Han Moyu smiled and said gently.

"Junior, you're a freshman, so you can make the first move."

Chapter 206 Instant Kill

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yang looked at Han Moyu with a very strange expression.

However, he did not refuse.

In any case, no matter who strikes first, the outcome will be the same.

Are you ready?

A referee standing nearby looked at the two of them and asked.

Both of them nodded to indicate that they were ready.

"In the upcoming competition, you must not intentionally attack your opponent's vital areas."
