Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Early the next morning, there was an urgent knock on the door. “Wake up you lazy pig, the sun is shining…”
Lin Xuan’s eyes were blurry as he scratched his head. He finally got a good night’s rest and his hair was a mess, it was unbearable to look at. “What time is it? I’m so sleepy, let me sleep more!”
He tried his best to open his eyes, but his eyelids were too heavy. His upper and lower eyelids were firmly glued together, and he could not separate them no matter how hard he tried.
“Let Me… Oh… What’s that smell?”
In an instant, a cool feeling started in his brain and swept across his entire body. An indescribable sense of familiarity welled up in his heart. He was fully awake now!
“The environment here in the Western Capital is beautiful and the air is fresh. However, due to the Yin Spirit and fog that pervades the surroundings, a small amount of fog still drifted in. Of course, this won’t have much of an effect on the locals because they’re already used to it. As for us outsiders, we would more or less get addicted to sleeping!”
Su Tian was wearing an apron and carrying a basin of creamy pop tarts. She explained to Lin Xuan with a smile on her face. Lin Zhenxing, who had run over to wake Lin Xuan up, reached out and took a pop tart instead of waking him up.
“Lin Xuan, hurry up! Qin Fen is going on the stage today!”
“Really?” Lin Xuan patted his head as he almost forgot such an important thing, “I almost forgot about it!”
After having a casual lunch, the two sisters led Lin Xuan toward the school in a leisurely way. Unlike the rise and fall of the Di Yi, Xidu [1] had always been one of the top nine schools, it had never been at a low point. Additionally, the richest woman in Taixia Country was standing behind it. They had so much money that they had nowhere to spend it except for school!
There were two wutong trees in front of the gate of the school that had carvings on them. On the left side was Xidu while on the right side was The First Ever High School.
There were no fences, security guards, or iron bars. The two wutong trees were their school gate!
After crossing the wutong tree school gate, they entered the school’s campus. This place was even bigger than Di Yi. There was a bluestone road that was dozens of meters wide, and willow trees hung down on both sides. The spring breeze blew across the surface of the lake, providing a fresh breeze.
This school occupied the entire Dragon Lake.
The road paved with bluestone connected all the islands. All kinds of flowers and plants were planted on the side of the road and on the islands. At a glance, it looked like a forest grew on the lake.
“This place is really nice. I don’t think I’d ever get tired of this view. I’ll take a photo and send it to Grandpa so that he can also modify Di Yi to look like this.”
Lin Zhenxing was like a happy little bee, flying around and talking non-stop about the aesthetics of the area.
Strolling in Xidu was indeed different from Di Yi. The scenery of Di Yi was also very beautiful, but the students were always in a hurry. They had endless things to do, and they were busy with work all the time. Every moment, they were thinking about improving their strength, no matter how beautiful the scenery was, no one would be able to appreciate it!
As for Xidu, there were students that would stop and look at the beautiful scenery that attracted them from time to time.
They also knew about the situation of the Yin Spirits surrounding them, but it was because of this that they should better enjoy life and embrace the beauty of life.
Looking at the lake not far away, Lin Xuan couldn’t help but feel a little envious. If he was born in the Western Capital, there wouldn’t be a situation like a real instance dungeon… right?
“Let’s go!”
“Hey, do you want to ride that duck boat? It looks like it’s fun!”
“Maybe next time. Qin Fen will be on the stage soon. We can’t miss the match between the nine superstars!”
“Oh… Alright!”
Lin Zhenxing reluctantly turned back to look at the duck boat and followed the two of them to the arena.
The arena in Xidu looked like an island, not like the one in Di Yi. The entire island was built with an incomparably huge martial arts arena. There were countless mini platforms inside, and there were many seats for the audience. However, if one wanted to talk about the center of attention, it was undoubtedly the middle of the arena. What followed next was the first clash between the nine great superstars of this tournament!
The match had yet to begin, but the heat was already unprecedentedly hot. Last night, countless people were discussing who would win and who would lose in tomorrow’s match!
Lin Xuan and the others entered more than half an hour earlier, but they were unable to find seats. They had no choice but to quietly find their teacher, who was in the arena, and think of a way to sneak into the training area to get a closer look.
Qin Fen closed his eyes to rest his mind. He would occasionally open his mouth and eat a special snack that Yang Cheng passed to him. This thing could be considered a dietary supplement. After eating it, one’s energy would double and recover within half an hour.
Lin Xuan stood up and looked over the other side of the arena.
Su Huaizhou was sitting on a chair, holding her sword. Her head was nodding as if she was dozing off!
So cute!
Suddenly, she seemed to have sensed something. She lifted her dazed face and looked in Lin Xuan’s direction. Their gazes suddenly met, and it felt so unexpected.
Lin Xuan was starstruck!
Lin Zhenxing looked at him with a faint smile. “Lin Xuan, what are you looking at? What’s there to look at? Let’s take a look together!”
“Su… Su Huaizhou, I’m looking at Su Huaizhou. Do you think she’ll beat Qin Fen?”
Lin Zhenxing curled her lips and turned her head away in disdain.
Lin Xuan sighed inside. Yang Cheng was good at his research methods.
The match was about to begin!
The contestants of both sides went onto the stage.
Qin Fen opened his eyes and slowly walked onto the stage. On the opposite side, Su Huaizhou had her eyes closed. She was holding a sword in her arms. With each step she took, the bell on her head would emit a clear sound.
The strongest elites of this generation in Taixia Country were finally going to compete with each other.
One was filled with an invincible domineering aura that could suppress the world with his fists, While the other was gradually filled with boundless sword energy that could cut through the sky. The two competed with each other. For a time, it was difficult to determine who was the best!
[1] The Western Capital’s first high school is now named Xidu.
