The God of War.

The capital of Qinglian Kingdom,

Qinglian City is the imperial capital, the power center of Qinglian Kingdom, and also the most prosperous place in Qinglian Kingdom.

This is also where countless young people pursue their dreams.

The airship was getting closer and closer to the imperial capital, and the imperial capital was becoming clearer and clearer in everyone's sight.

Looking down from the air, Qinglian City is like a huge palace located in the Rocky Mountains. The entire city is arranged from east to west, including the Imperial Palace, Qinglian City, Royal Academy, and some unknown institutions. The main venue of this talent selection competition is the Royal Academy.

The entire Royal Academy occupies almost half of Qinglian City. The Royal Academy is divided into inner and outer academies. The inner academy is the same as ordinary sects. Only the so-called evildoers and genius disciples can enter the inner academy.

However, nothing is impossible. As long as you have a strong enough background, you can enter the inner courtyard without any special ability.

Needless to say, the Outer Court is full of middle-level disciples whose cultivation is neither high nor low. The reason they stay in the Outer Court is to hope that one day they can make the leap and be admitted to the Inner Court to live a good life.

The academy started preparing for the talent selection competition a month before it began. Now everything is ready, just waiting for the competition to begin. +

Generally speaking, the division and arrangement of this kind of courtyard also pays attention to order. The size of the residence and the luxury of the room are usually arranged according to the achievements made in the past years.

As the saying goes, it is a classification of levels.

Since the Three Sword Sect did not perform well in the last talent selection competition, with only a below-average result, the rooms for the Three Sword Sect this time were not large and spacious houses. Instead, each person only had a small room that was big enough for one person to live in.

Lin Fei didn't care about all this and just found a room and moved in. However, others complained and accused the Royal Academy of being unfair.

As for the two elders Jiang Jian, they had no choice but to comfort those disciples who were indignant in their hearts, hoping that they would perform well in this year's competition and create good conditions for the next batch of brothers and sisters who would participate in the competition.

There are also some students whose performance in the previous session was worse than that of the Three Swords Sect, and their rooms are worse than those of the Three Swords Sect.

The house incident was finally over, and the Three Swords Sect finally calmed down.

The competition will begin in three days. According to official statistics, there are 1,600 participants, but only 300 can enter higher-level churches and schools. More than 1,300 will be eliminated and return to their original sects to continue their training, or participate in next year's competition, or enter their own family or national institutions to become a ruler.

The next day, the Royal Academy announced the rules and restrictions of the entire competition, requiring all participants not to violate them. Otherwise, all competition scores would be zero and they would be banned from participating for ten years.

The system is very strict, but the procedure is extremely simple.

The competition is divided into forty arenas, each with forty people, who are then divided into two groups of twenty people each.

On the first day, the top five in each group will be decided. Nearly 1,200 people will be eliminated from the competition on the entire first day. Therefore, the competition is very cruel. Many disciples have been in seclusion for a year or two, and they may be eliminated in the first round and become someone else's ladder.

The competition is conducted in the form of a draw. All 1,600 people enter a large statistical formation, and the formation machine then draws out large groups of 40 people, then small groups of 20 people, and then the battle order of the 20-person groups is drawn.

All results will be sent to each participating team member within two hours before the start of the competition. Participants will report to the captain of their team with their number plates. They can only enter the competition after the captain registers.

In principle, killing is not allowed in competitions. However, if one party refuses to admit defeat and causes death during the competition, the other party does not bear any responsibility. This means that as long as the other party is accidentally killed before the other party offers to surrender, the other party generally does not bear any responsibility.

Therefore, every year in the competition, many people die in the ring, and this has become an unruly rule.

Any competition has its cruel side, so every participating team member comes prepared. If you can't beat the opponent, don't be stubborn. Surrender and admit defeat quickly to save your life. Otherwise, you will lose everything.

Of course, the elders and captains of each participating team will instill these things into everyone's minds before the game, but there are always people who cannot control themselves during the game and choose to perish.

The second day's competition was still conducted by drawing lots, with 20 people in each group. The top 10 in each group were decided, and 200 people were ranked in the top 200. The remaining 200 people entered the semi-finals to decide 100 people, and together with the top 200 people, they entered the top 300 qualifying line.

Of the remaining 300 people who officially enter the level competition, half of them will only be able to enter the outer gate of the Three Saints and Five Religions, and the other 150 will be able to officially enter the inner gate of the Three Saints and Five Religions for training.

Of course, as long as one can enter the Three Saints and Five Religions to practice, even if it is an outer sect, it is a holy place that everyone from the sects below yearns for.

The one hundred and fifty people who enter the inner gate will undergo another round of trials, which is the highlight of the entire competition, because the rewards brought to the sect by the talents who place first to tenth each year are so generous that they cannot be described in words.

If a sect's disciple wins the first place in the competition, not only can the sect receive a huge reward from the Three Saints for three years, but a disciple who did not make it into the top 150 can also be rewarded to practice in the inner sect. Similarly, this disciple who enters the inner sect can also get a generous reward for the sect.

The competition has not started yet, and everyone is in a tense competition. Intelligence workers are most active at this time. Similarly, the business of selling gossip among the famous sects is the most popular. An insignificant piece of information, such as how much cultivation a person in a certain sect has reached, can be sold for five spirit stones and can be sold repeatedly. For small vendors, the top secrets of intelligence are not mentioned, as long as there is money to be made.

Lin Fei entered the room and did not come out. Even when his sword was not working and he knocked on the door, the door was closed. At this time, he was practicing the other eight acupoints of the Destruction Divine Art, so it was useless even if the Jade Emperor came.

It was not until the afternoon of the last day that Lin Fei opened the door and exhaled. After two days of practice, he had only opened eight acupoints. He felt it was a bit slow. However, as his practice progressed, it was normal for the speed of opening the acupoints to slow down. As his practice became higher and higher, the difficulty of practice would naturally increase.

It seemed as if Jian Buling had been waiting outside. Not long after Lin Fei opened the door, Jian Buling walked in with a smile on his face.

Lin Fei always felt that there was some conspiracy behind Jian Buling's smile.

"Hey, the training is complete!"

The sword didn't work and Lin Fei felt a chill rushing towards him.

"Jian, Elder Jian, is there anything wrong?"

"It's okay, it's okay, I was just looking around to see if there's anything I can help with."

"How can I help you? No, nothing."

Jian Buling looked at the room while moving forward. The room was not big, so Lin Fei could only retreat, but soon he had nowhere to retreat. Lin Fei had no choice but to stand still.

Jian Buling leaned his hands against the wall and pinned Lin Fei under him.

"Someone said you have a Boundary Breaking Pill, I don't know if it's true or not."

After hearing about the Boundary Breaking Pill, Lin Fei finally understood the purpose of Jian Buling's concern for him these days. He also knew that it must be the woman, Elder Jiang, who told him.

Elder Jiang and Jian Buling were both at the same realm and had never been able to break through. A few days ago, Elder Jiang suddenly broke through and it alarmed the Three Swords Sect. People thought that Elder Jiang had achieved a breakthrough because of some enlightenment, but Jian Buling didn't believe it, so he raided Elder Jiang and forced out the real reason for his breakthrough.

However, Lin Fei really didn't have any Boundary Breaking Pills on him now, and he gave the last one to Yang Qingqing's father, his future father-in-law.

"Did that woman of Elder Jiang tell you, Elder Jian?"

Lin Fei suddenly had an unrealistic idea.

"How did you know."

"Because Elder Jiang suddenly broke through, but he couldn't really tell you the method to break through, so he put this idea on me."

Lin Fei had a strange smile on his face at this time.

"Elder Jian, do you and Elder Jiang have this?"

After saying that, Lin Fei made a loving gesture in front of Jian Buling, and then smiled again.

“Otherwise, how could a shrewd woman like Elder Jiang tell you such a secret thing?”

"Pfft, don't talk nonsense. Who would like that kind of slutty woman? I just heard it, so I came to ask you."

Lin Fei only then realized that he had guessed that the sword was ineffective. However, he still liked this man a little. He had a good heart and was kind to his disciples, so he felt that he should help him.

After all, one more friend means one more way. Besides, he has two women living in Yibang City.

However, this cannot be given directly, otherwise it will be too worthless.

"Elder Jian, if you really want it, I can think of a way."

When Jian Buling heard Lin Fei say that he could think of a solution, his depressed head suddenly raised up.

"I know you can find a way. Just tell me how much you want and I'll find a way."

"I can talk to my master. He is a famous pill madman, so he should be able to find a way. As for the money, we can talk about it after we get the pills."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, Lin Fei. I knew you must be the benefactor of my sword."

"Elder Jian, you should come here now. You should have something to tell me."

Jian Buling suddenly remembered and took out a stack of tabloids from his pocket and handed them to Lin Fei.

"These are the messages I received in the past few days and some matters related to the competition. Please read them carefully and don't violate the rules during the competition, otherwise you will be kicked out of the competition."

"Also, I heard that some monsters have reached the fifth or sixth level of the king. If you can't defeat them, just surrender. Don't try to be tough. Keeping your life is the most important thing."

"Okay, Elder Jian, thank you, I will take a closer look,"

"Well, I'm leaving now. I wish you success in tomorrow's game."

After saying that, Jian Buling walked out of Lin Fei's room with a certain lightness.

Watching Jian Buling's different mental states, Lin Fei felt relieved.

Only then did Lin Fei realize that there was still such a stone in his heart.

Night has lost its meaning of existence for this world. Here there are only lights and all-night tension and fantasy.

Lin Fei carefully read all the lists sent by Jian Buling. Apart from some evildoers' cultivation and some ordinary martial arts, he did not find anything helpful. Only the lottery sheet made him understand where he would go tomorrow.

In the second group of eighteen groups, his first round opponent was a man named Huo Ling from the Divine Fire Palace who was at the peak of the ninth level of the spiritual realm.

The specific match is the fourth group of the first round of the second group of eighteen groups.

……

The pace of time is never affected by human will. When the morning sun was hanging on the roof of the college, the bell for the competition finally rang as scheduled.

On behalf of the ancient country of Qinglian and the Royal Academy, Qingcheng made a brief explanation and blessing and then announced the official start of the competition.

At this time, 1,600 people had already surrounded the 40 arenas, just waiting for Qingcheng to say this.

As soon as Qingcheng finished speaking, the contestants in the first group of the first round all jumped onto the stage.

Lin Fei was born in a crowd, and such competitions had no reference value for him at all, so he kept practicing with his eyes closed.

The first few rounds of the game had to decide the winner, the Jia family from the capital.

Just like in the following matches, the opponent with a bigger difference can almost win in one move, while the opponent with a smaller difference can also decide the outcome within ten moves.

Soon, the ten players in the first group entered the second round of draw. Lin Fei was the first to go on stage. His opponent was a talented disciple from the Royal Academy. This disciple defeated his opponent with one move in the first round. He was also one of the seeded players favored by the Royal Academy. His name was Wujizi.

Unfortunately, his luck was very bad and he met Lin Fei.

The bell for the competition rang again, and Wujizi, a disciple of the Royal Academy, landed on the ring with a beautiful leap, which attracted screams from the surrounding girls of the Royal Academy.

Lin Fei did not jump onto the stage, but took out a heavy sword from somewhere, put it on his back, and walked up slowly. Their action also caused laughter from the crowd.

Lin Fei turned a deaf ear to the laughter, walked onto the stage, and stood two meters away from the opponent. He placed the heavy sword on the ground with his hand bag, and the heavy sword created a spark on the ground.

The referee looked at both teams, then winked at the students of the Royal Academy, and announced the start of the game.

Before the word "beginning" was uttered, Wujizi from the Royal Academy kicked his feet and shot towards Lin Fei like an arrow.

The opponent's sword tip, nourished by the spiritual energy, made an ionized sound as it passed through the air, and the air continued to emit hot air due to compression.

Lin Fei sensed that the opponent's sword technique was an extremely yang sword technique that emphasized speed and burst.

The opponent's sword came at a high speed, but Lin Fei did not move. Just when the opponent's sword was about to pierce through his body, Lin Fei just moved sideways to avoid the opponent's sword. Then, he calmly raised the heavy sword in his hand with one hand and placed it on the opponent's chest without any deviation.

Fortunately, the opponent was also a master. He quickly circulated his spiritual energy and stopped the force of pushing forward. The moment the tip of Lin Fei's heavy sword pierced his skin, he recovered all the strength and stood there like a sculpture for an instant.

At this moment, all the people watching the game below were frozen in place for a moment, and then they all spoke at once.

"what!"

Everyone opened their mouths in amazement. Obviously, the result was beyond their expectations.

No one knew how the battle situation would suddenly change, and in just one move.

It was not until the opponent reluctantly announced that he had lost and the referee Lin Fei won that someone exclaimed "Ah" and closed his open mouth.

Lin Fei wins!
