Chapter 34: A Battle That Must Be Lost!
The sun broke through the dark clouds and shone over Nanjing University, for a time, the sky was clear and cloudless, and the summer heat wave began to wreak havoc again.
At noon, students who had just gone through a morning of exams should have flocked to the various cafeterias in school to enjoy the delicious and sumptuous free lunch there. However, more and more students turned around and headed towards the central part of Nanjing Academy, rushing towards that magnificent gymnasium.
The Martial Arts Building of Nan Ying Academy, located in the center of the school, was completed in 4120 AD. It was supervised by Zhang Zhengri, the seventh principal of the academy. After Zhang Zhengri's heroic sacrifice in the Third Snow River War, this building has never been reopened.
However, when it comes to Nanchang University, many people can't help but think of this building, which is one of the iconic buildings of Nanchang University and also symbolizes the university's glorious history.
However, today there was something unusual in front of the martial arts hall.
The gate of the Wenyu Great Hall is over 30 meters high, like a giant's stride. On both sides of the wide road in front of the building, dozens of police cars are lined up in an orderly manner. Fully armed police officers patrol the perimeter, strictly prohibiting unrelated personnel from approaching. At the entrance, a team of soldiers with real guns and live ammunition stand guard.
This strange situation immediately attracted the attention of many candidates, who were confused about what was happening. Was there a big shot coming to Nan Ying College for inspection during the graduation exam? The current Nan Ying College in Luo City is at the bottom, which big shot would be bored enough to come over?
The candidates who were watching in a circle whispered to each other, guessing when they saw the teachers of Class A and B leading their excellent students in neat queues, passing through the inspection and entering the gate one after another.
"What's going on? Are they holding some kind of training inside?"
"How can this be during the graduation exams? Don't they treat us other students as human beings?"
"Get out of the way, get out of the way. We also want to go in, otherwise we will report it, this is a disguised cheating behavior."
"What's going on? The most crucial free fight is in the afternoon, but the school is giving special training to those excellent students. It's too inhumane."
The candidates who were watching first speculated and then became excited, but in the face of a solid wall of police officers, it was all in vain.
Inside the Martial Arts Hall, seats for 30,000 people are almost fully occupied.
【Righteous Day Elimination War】Since its establishment, no one has ever applied for it. This is the first time in 220 years, and perhaps also the last time.
The teachers who learned the news immediately contacted the excellent students in their respective classes and organized them to come and watch the battle. Regardless of the outcome of this battle, it is extremely meaningful for these students.
Normally, it's not easy to watch a battle between elite students, let alone those martial arts geniuses.
At 12:25, the seats in the martial arts hall were almost full, with nearly all the elite and outstanding students from grades one to three of Nan Ying College present, including some who had sneaked in through connections to watch.
On the central stage, Vice President Wang Sen held a speech manuscript and delivered an opening address before the start, reading out the rules of the "Righteous Day Elimination Match" and the biography of the seventh principal Zhang Zhengri. The flying saliva address lasted for 15 minutes and still showed no signs of stopping.
At one end of the arena's entrance, 18 Qian family juniors gathered together, discussing in hushed tones. Among them, it was clear that they all looked up to Qian Jilong as their leader.
Staring at the entrance on the other end of the stage, Qian Lie's face was gloomy as he said in a low voice, "Fifth Brother, that Sun Yan kid has consecutively broken two records, his strength is by no means simple."
"Big Brother Wu, what should we do?" Qian Lin's face was pale with anxiety.
Qian Lin is also here because, like Sun Yan, he falsified his student information and was admitted to the elite class C.
A month ago, the Qian family had already used their connections to secure a spot for Qian Lin at a prestigious college. Of course, in order not to raise any suspicions, Qian Lin's student records could not contain any information that would make him appear useless. But unexpectedly, they hit a snag.
"Shut up!" Qian JULONG growled in a low voice, glaring fiercely at Qian Lin. "If it weren't for you being such a waste, would we be in this passive situation now? Being ambushed by Sun Yan and hit with a sneak attack? Hmph, a second-level warrior looking for trouble with you still needs to ambush you? You really know how to flatter yourself."
At this moment, others also glare at Qian Lin. If it weren't for this bastard hiding the truth, they wouldn't be in such a predicament now either.
Qian Julong's eyebrows were tightly locked, and he sneered, "However, that bastard Sun Yan is too confident, too arrogant. But it gave us a chance to turn things around. Whoever dares to point at our Qian family will surely not have a good ending."
"Big Brother, what do you mean?"
Qian Julong's face turned extremely gloomy, "Hmph! Fourth Uncle already knows about this matter. Before entering the scene just now, he had given me instructions."
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up with a hint of hope. They began to talk about Qian Ju Long's fourth uncle, Qian Xiang Ting, who was one of the pillars of the Qian family and its leader. Apart from the few remaining ancestors of the family, only the head of the Qian family could be compared to him.
Qian Lin seemed to have grasped a lifeline and asked repeatedly: "Fourth Uncle, what did he say?"
Qian Julong's face turned ferocious as he said, "Use [Golden Annihilation Formation], and cripple Sun Yan!"
Everyone was shocked at first, but soon understood that having a grudge with a martial arts genius would be a big headache for the Qian family. But a discarded martial arts genius is equivalent to losing value. Even if there are still many troubles afterwards, relying on the Qian family's power, they can definitely get through it safely. When the time comes, they can settle accounts after autumn.
"Alright! Let's use [Golden Killer Formation]!"
At this time, the audience seats in the martial arts hall were already packed, and the VIP boxes also had people coming one after another. These people were mostly big shots in Luoshan City, with great power and influence, and they came here as soon as they received the news to watch the rare "Righteous Day Elimination Battle". Knife Teacher, Guo Nu, and Ye Zefeng were also in one of the VIP boxes, and their faces didn't look good, revealing a hint of solemnity.
"Lao Dao, you're really being reckless! How could you agree to this candidate's request?" Guo said angrily, with a tone of resentment towards Lao Dao's previous decision.
Teacher Knife spread his hands and said helplessly, "How did I know this kid was so reckless? He actually dared to challenge 18 members of the Qian family. Alas, he's really like a newborn calf not fearing tigers!"
"A member of the Millennium Martial Family, who has been practicing a unique battle formation since childhood. This is not something to be taken lightly." Ye Zefeng's eyebrows were tightly locked, and he couldn't help but stand up, "No way, we must stop this fight from happening. The Qian family has always been known for their cunning ways, and we can't just watch a talented young seed like him fall into danger."
Ye Zefeng's actions were stopped by Guo Nu, who said seriously: "The [Regular Elimination Battle] was passed by Lin Xinghe, and you should understand the consequences of stopping this battle."
Ye Zefeng's body stiffened and he could only sit down. Although he had the heart to maintain, he did not dare to offend the rules set by Lin Xinghe, his instructor.
Principal Lin Xinghe of the Emperor Wind Academy, Half-Step Martial Ancestor, a generation of great martial arts masters. The rules he set are equivalent to the laws of the Odin Star Domain. Offenders will be subject to double punishment by the federal government and the military department, and may even be punished by the humanoid tribe alliance.
In another VIP room, there was only one middle-aged man sitting alone. He had a slender figure and even when seated, he gave off an air of elegance, with his hawk-like nose, thin lips, and high cheekbones, giving people a feeling of coldness and subtlety.
"Sun Yan from Class C-69, broke two records of Nan Ying College's graduation exam, what a genius!"
That man gazed down at the vast arena, a cold smile rising to his lips as he muttered to himself: "A talented martial arts seedling like this, if it were in normal times, our Qian family would definitely spare no effort to recruit. Unfortunately, since grudges can't be resolved, we can only strangle this young sapling in its cradle. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame yourself for being blind and offending our Qian family."
In another VIP room, the door opened quietly and three people slipped in one after another. After removing their disguises, they turned out to be Feng Lingxue, Chen Wang, and Chang Cheng. These three were too famous throughout Luoshan City, and in such a situation, they didn't dare to enter openly, otherwise with their strong aura, they would probably have been surrounded by crowds, unable to move an inch.
Sitting in his seat, Chang Song let out a sigh and furrowed his brow, asking: "Ling Xue, isn't it a bit too risky for Sun Yan to challenge the 18 members of the Qian family at the same time?"
That night at the banquet, Chang Cheng and Chen Wang had a match after which he saw the traces of Sun Yan's "Elbow Cannon" before leaving. He suddenly understood that he had missed the opportunity to have a thrilling battle with such a genius. However, upon hearing that Sun Yan had applied for a "Proper Day Elimination Battle", specifically targeting 18 members of the Qian family, Chang Cheng felt worried.
Upon hearing this, Chen Wang and Feng Xuezi exchanged a smile, without the slightest worry. They gestured for Chang Cheng to sit down and watch the upcoming battle.
At the other end of the arena, four figures stood at the entrance: Sun Yan, Carter, Shui Lian Qing and Mu Tong. Shui Lian Qing and Mu Tong were allowed to watch from a close distance due to their relationship with Sun Yan.
"Ayin, you little scamp are too handsome! Help your brother blow them up."
Since learning about Sun's strength, Muzhong's attitude hasn't changed much. The only change is that once a violent incident occurs, Muzhong will no longer be timid like before, because he has a powerful friend by his side.
Shui Lian's eyes widened as she stared at Mu Tong, her voice softening as she asked, "Sun Yan, are you really sure there's no problem?"
"Even if there's a problem, it's too late to take medicine now." Carter snorted, "Sun Yan, if you lose, just obediently repeat the grade and stay under me for another year."
Sun Yan was about to say something, but the communicator started vibrating. He opened it and a flash of brightness passed through his eyes, he licked his lips, "Officer Carter, help me take care of this. Don't worry, I will definitely win."
Hand over the communicator to Carter, Sun Yan walked towards the huge arena in front of him.
"This kid is really confident." Carter shook his head with a wry smile, inadvertently glancing at the communicator, his eyes momentarily frozen.
There were three messages displayed on the communicator.
"Come on! We are also watching - Wind Chime Snow."
"Ayin, we're all waiting for you at Emperor Wind Academy - Chen Wang."
"If you don't beat up those Qian family people, I'll beat you up!" - Chang Cheng.
He suddenly looked up and stared at the back of that thin boy, Carter only understood that he might have greatly underestimated this student.
