The grand event between the two academies ushered in a wonderful final with ups and downs.
In the last three days, the talented kings of the two houses took turns to play, setting off one wave of climax after another.
This year's event was quite special, because Tianting Chen Gu challenged the kings for many days in a row. His popularity overshadowed almost all the students in the two houses, and his topic was far greater than the event itself.
Fortunately, just a few days before the final, he suddenly disappeared and no longer made any big noise.
This made the teachers of Zhenwu Academy breathe a sigh of relief, and also brought the attention of the audience and students from both colleges back to the grand event.
In the past few days, the competition process of the grand event can be said to be treacherous and changeable, with upsets often occurring.
First of all, Chen Buqi, a genius from the Thousand Refining Holy Sect, played blindfolded in the semi-finals. It is said that his ultimate organ, the Flower Return True Eye, was overdrawn, and he had no choice but to fight his opponent blindfolded.
There are different opinions as to why his eyes, which were fine, suddenly became unusable.
Some people say that he was unclean on weekdays and got needle holes from peeping on female students in the shower. Others said that he fought with Chen Gu in the heaven in private, just like Hong Taiyi, so he consumed too much.
There is a huge gap between the various versions of the rumors, and no one knows whether they are true or false. All they know is that he lost the battle without any suspense, and therefore missed the finals.
Then there was Ye Qingshuang from Zhenwu Academy, who had an epiphany in the semi-finals and incredibly defeated the top player in the Hidden Dragon Ranking of Miao Academy of Law.
She reached the finals for the first time and became the only student in the finals who was not the winner.
This caused many students who placed bets outside the venue to suffer miserably. After all, Ye Qingshuang's original ranking was not high. Who would have thought that after a sudden enlightenment, her strength would increase several times.
Because of this incident, how powerful the Martial Saint Body actually is has caused a lot of discussion.
In the competition, some strong players were eliminated unexpectedly, some weak players were lucky enough to win, but there were also some masters who maintained consistent standards.
Qi Zeyan from Nanhua Holy Land took the initiative to fight against Tianting Chen Gu, but his condition remained unchanged and he went straight to the finals.
His opponents were almost unable to block one of his sword strikes. Even a king of the same level was cut down from the ring with the tenth sword strike.
He became the most popular figure in the entire event. Countless people outside the venue bet that he would become the number one in the event, and would most likely receive the Emperor's Grace Award from the Great Confucian himself.
In the fierce battle, one character was constantly mentioned and one question was constantly asked.
"Where is Chen Gu? Where has he gone?"
Within a few days, no matter where you walked in Zhenwu Academy, you could often hear students discussing this topic.
Ever since his battle with Qi Zeyan, he has kept a low profile and has never caused any major disturbances.
This made countless students and even teachers feel regretful. It would be great if Chen Gu could participate in the grand event, then the finals would be much more interesting.
Countless people are asking where Chen Gu is, and all forces have sent spies to inquire about the news, but unfortunately they have found nothing.
"You asked me where Chen Gu is? How would I know?"
During this period, some nefarious people approached Chen Buqi and asked him this question.
Many people speculate that Chen Buqi's eye disease is related to Chen Gu, and he should be the last person to fight with him.
When Chen Buqi heard people mention Chen Gu, he felt itchy with hatred.
"I don't know where he went. If that bastard shows up again, I won't be able to spare him!"
Since they couldn't get any information from Chen Buqi, most people gave up, but there were also smart people who approached Shi Jian.
"You have a good relationship with Chen Gu, but that day you let someone tell you that you were going to deal with him. You must have some ulterior motive, right? Do you know how he is doing now?"
Mu Ziyu asked Shi Jian, her pretty face a little nervous.
She didn't know why she cared so much about Chen Gu. He hadn't seen him for only a few days, but she was worried about whether something had happened to him.
Mu Ziyu is an important partner and Chen Gu's friend. Shi Jian did not hide anything from her and told the truth.
"That day, Brother Chen made an appointment with Chen Buqi and our clan Shi Polu for a battle. In the middle of the battle, he seemed to have an epiphany and left first."
"He should be fine. If there are no accidents, he should be attacking the Immortality Realm with all his strength at this moment."
Mu Ziyu's eyes widened when he heard this, "Dealing two kings at the same time? That kid is really crazy!"
Although she said this, she felt relieved in her heart.
The grand event without Gu Chen disrupting the situation finally ushered in the final day.
On this day, countless spectators poured into the square of Zhenwu Academy, far more than when the grand event opened.
According to statistics, the total number of spectators present reached nearly 300,000, and many people traveled long distances from various states just to see the finals.
Even the current crown prince of the Middle-earth Empire, Ji Zefang, personally attended the event and said that he was waiting for the competition to end and that he would hand out the Imperial Favor Award together with the national advisor Shen Xudong.
The specific content of this gift was not mentioned, but all the viewers were looking forward to it. How could it be a small gift if the royal family took action?
Who will be recognized as the most talented person and win this significant award?
The geniuses from all major holy places and holy sects are full of expectations for this, hoping that they can be the lucky one.
The entire college was caught in a huge commotion, and with the audience's enthusiasm, the top ten from the event entered the venue.
"Qi Zeyan! Qi Zeyan!"
"Yao Yufei! Yao Yufei!"
The audience shouted for the geniuses they admired most, expecting them to make a blockbuster success today.
"Ye Qingshuang! Ye Qingshuang!"
There are weaker voices calling out to the academy’s super star who has reached the finals for the first time, expecting her to create another miracle today.
Facing all this, Ye Qingshuang looked cold, and only thought about the upcoming decisive battle.
At the VIP table, the current prince Ji Zefang looked at the ten geniuses entering the room and asked Shen Xudong sitting next to him.
"Teacher, will Chen Gu show up today? I heard of his name when I was still in Luoyang."
The prince's eyes are clear and he is gentle and elegant.
"I don't know, no one knows his whereabouts." Shen Xudong shook his head.
"Well, that would be a bit troublesome."
The prince's eyebrows were knitted together, as if he was in trouble.
After Vice President Qi announced the start of the finals, cheers once again erupted in the square. The cheers were so loud that they could still be heard even from dozens of miles away.
Just dozens of miles away, in stark contrast to the lively event, there was a person sitting alone in a dark mountain cave, his breath fluctuating all over his body.
He closed his eyes tightly, a voice echoed in his heart, and his whole body was wrapped in dazzling light.
This person is Gu Chen. After experiencing ten kings and nine fierce battles, he entered meditation for several days and finally reached the critical moment of breakthrough!
At this time, no one noticed that in the sky above the place where he was retreating, the wind and clouds were changing, the thunder clouds were thundering, and it seemed that something big was about to happen.
If anyone noticed this scene, it was probably a white-haired ape looking at the strange sky, guarding the dark entrance of the cave, and roaring to the sky.
