"The ranking competition is about to begin."
Jiu Muli opened his eyes from his meditative state, suddenly stood up and walked towards Qin Zheng's residence.
It was time for the ranking tournament to show off its edge.
The moment she and Qin Zheng stepped out of the door, she met a teacher at the academy. She told them that the dean had come to notify them of their arrival and that they should head there as soon as possible.
When they arrived at the place where the specially prepared Battlestage was located, the entire area around Battlestage was already surrounded by people. Jiu Muli raised his eyes to sweep around, and discovered that the students and instructors, including Tianting Family, had all gathered here when they received the news.
"Jiu Muli, Qin Zheng!"
Seeing Jiu Muli and Qin Zheng coming together, many people cried out in alarm.
In this ranking tournament, many people did not expect that Jiu Muli would participate, especially the students of the Zhongzhou Academy.
"Forget about Qin Zheng, eldest senior brother of the inner sect, his strength is unfathomable, but Jiu Muli is only at the first level of Star Master Stage, why would the Principal give her the spots?"
Some people were confused. Although the list of participants had been decided long ago, it did not spread out. Some people were still puzzled.
After all, Jiu Muli was just a new student and had only entered the academy for a short month or so.
"Tch, so what? Don't forget, two days ago, Jiu Muli killed his teacher from Ciaran Academy, with that strength, how could others be her opponent."
As soon as the dissatisfied voices started to sound, people started to speak out to protect Jiu Muli, following that, the voices became louder and louder, completely suppressing the dissatisfaction.
Ciaran Academy's arrogance and brazenness had already caused many students in the academy to feel dissatisfied. Therefore, the last time Jiu Muli had tried to kill them, it was truly satisfying and many students were excited about it.
Jiu Muli did not pay attention to all of this. At this time, she had already seen the Principal and the other five students of the Inner Academy beside her.
"Disciple, Qin Zheng, come this way."
When the dean noticed the two of them from afar, he couldn't help but wave with a smile, appearing extremely relaxed.
Seeing this, Jiu Muli respectfully nodded and said: "Greetings, Master."
Although the principal's master's tone was relaxed, and looked to be without pressure, Jiu Muli could still feel that the principal was not relaxed at all.
But right at this moment, Jiu Muli suddenly felt a sharp edge on his back, causing his heart to turn cold.
Turning her head to sweep around, she discovered that Lin Butong's sharp gaze was currently fixated on her position in the Ciaran Academy, causing her to feel a dense killing intent.
Not only that, she had also noticed that another student beside Lin Butong was looking at her viciously, to the point where he didn't even try to avoid her gaze. Instead, a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"He's trying to kill me!"
Jiu Muli's heart sank, she recognized that the student, was the so called genius of Ciaran Academy, Lian Zhicheng!
After all, the other party was young, but was already an expert in the Star Profound Stage. Even if it was placed in the Zhongzhou Academy, it would be enough for him to become a teacher.
"However, if you really wish to kill me …"
A cold light flashed across Jiu Muli's eyes, and he immediately shifted his gaze away.
As she looked at the Ciaran Academy, she started to look at the surrounding people. She realized that other than Tianting Meng and a few of the others who had interacted with her before, they did not recognize her, so she was too lazy to continue looking and shifted her attention back to the Principal.
However, when she retracted her gaze, she inadvertently discovered that some cotton and wood were scattered next to where she was standing. She could not help but feel speechless.
"No matter how you look at it, it would be humiliating if you don't clean the place properly."
She secretly cursed in her heart. She remembered that in her previous life, there were many foreign schools that came to participate in competitions. As the host, they were extremely attentive and meticulous.
However, she quickly forgot about it. The ranking tournament was just around the corner, and she started to carefully look at the other extremely close friends around her.
However, before she could say anything, the dean had already gathered them all together and smiled, "Come, you all get to know each other." But before she could say anything, the dean had already gathered them together and smiled, "Come, you all get to know each other.
Jiu Muli listened and was speechless for a moment. The ranking tournament had simple and crude rules, the two sides had seven students from different sects who would draw lots to decide the order. Once they entered Battlestage, besides voluntarily admitting defeat, the dead party would lose!
Regarding this kind of duel, Jiu Muli's expression was normal. She did not feel any pressure, she was confident in her strength.
As for the remaining students, Qin Zheng had a calm expression as well. The other five students glanced at Qin Zheng, and although their expressions were serious, they were not too nervous.
After all, they had all seen Qin Zheng's strength. Although the students of the Ciaran Academy were strong, other than Lian Zhicheng, the rest of their cultivation were not much weaker. If they had good luck with the lots, they could easily win.
As for Jiu Muli, in these few days, they had heard that the other party had killed a teacher from the Ciaran Academy.
But even so, the remaining five students still greeted Jiu Muli kindly, and some even looked at him with fear and trepidation, sizing him up.
"This is basking in the glory of the evil spirit."
When Jiu Muli saw the five students of the Inner Academy greet him, he realized that there was something fishy going on. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he didn't try to maintain his identity.
But before they could finish introducing themselves, they heard Lin Butong say with a provocative tone: "It's time, old fellow, let your people draw lots, right?"
With that said, the seven students of Ciaran Academy behind Lin Butong all leapt onto the Battlestage, and rushed over to the place where the lots were drawn. Some of them were even looking at the location of the Zhongzhou Academy provocatively.
"Let's go as well."
The Principal did not speak anymore, and immediately brought the seven of them to Battlestage.
"Heh, three girls, is there no one else in Zhongzhou Academy? Even the women have been sent over."
Seeing the Zhongzhou Academy's few people approaching, one of the Ciaran Academy's students spoke in a weird tone.
"What's the point of talking so much nonsense with a few dead people?" Some began to sneer.
Arrogant!
Jiu Muli was furious in his heart, he immediately fished out a tablet from the box and snorted: "You must have been taught by that master."
"You!"
When the students of Zhongzhou Academy heard this, they were enraged.
The business in the Heavenly Court was a thorn in their hearts.
But Jiu Muli did not care about it at all, he turned around and returned to his position.
"Which one of you is number 1!"
After the drawing of lots was over, one of the students of Ciaran Academy suddenly stood up and spoke with a menacing tone.
"Me!"
Beside Jiu Muli, a student called Pan Hu suddenly stood up with an ice-cold expression.
"Eh?"
The academy frowned, his expression gloomy and cold, because Pan Hu's cultivation level was only at the seventh floor of the Star Spirit Stage and he, was only at fifty percent of the Star Spirit Stage!
"Number 2!"
Another person stood out from Ciaran Academy!
At the same time, another female student stood out from beside the dean and displayed her name plate.
"Number 3!"
Number four to six were all revealed, and number six was Qin Zheng. As for Jiu Muli's body, he had not moved even an inch.
"Not good, Jiu Muli is going to fight Lian Zhicheng!"
The spectators below the stage suddenly realized that not only Jiu Muli had yet to speak, the other party's Lian Zhicheng was also standing at his original spot, not saying a word, and his face could not help but to change.
Number one to number six had all come out, leaving only Number 7, Jiu Muli and Lian Zhicheng behind.
The Headmaster's brows furrowed and his expression darkened. What he wished for the most was for Qin Zheng to draw Lian Zhicheng, so for Zhongzhou Academy, the victory was obvious, it was extremely easy.
But unexpectedly, when Qin Zheng first entered, instead of drawing Lian Zhicheng, he drew an opponent who was at the third level of Star Spirit Stage. On the other hand, Jiu Muli drew the strongest person, Lian Zhicheng.
"Looks like you're number 7!"
Just at this time, Lian Zhicheng grinned, looked at Jiu Muli, and had an unspeakable look of despise on his face, and even more so, undisguised killing intent.
"That's right!"
Jiu Muli coldly spoke as he abruptly opened his palm, revealing the small plate on the center of his palm.
"This is bad."
The dean's heart jumped, and worriedly said to Jiu Muli: "Disciple, your opponent is actually Lian Zhicheng, if you are not his opponent this time, quickly take the initiative and admit defeat, understand? That Lian Zhicheng cannot be underestimated. "
"Right."
Jiu Muli also frowned deeply. When she looked at Lian Zhicheng, she realized that Lian Zhicheng's face was filled with a cold smile, and his killing intent was completely revealed. Jiu Muli then laughed coldly in her heart, and when she saw Lin Butong's smile that was not a smile, a wave of fury suddenly rose up.
"This is bad, Jiu Muli actually met Lian Zhicheng, there is a difference of two great stage s!"
They were all students of the Zhongzhou Academy, so they naturally did not wish for the Zhongzhou Academy to lose.
"There must be a ghost!" Some people cursed loudly, unwilling to accept this outcome.
However, no matter how suspicious they were, the sequence of events could no longer be changed.
"Ghost!"
At this moment, how could she not understand that there was definitely something wrong with this drawing?
Ciaran Academy had, after all, been operating in the Three Mortal Heavens for many years, and her skills and connections were extremely powerful.
"Do you really think I'm easy to deal with?"
Killing intent boiled in her heart.
Qin Zheng also noticed the abnormality and a bloody light flashed across his eyes.
But even so, Jiu Muli realized that the current Ciaran Academy's side had an extremely good ranking.
In the first round, Pan Hu's cultivation was much higher than his opponent, so it shouldn't be difficult for him to win, but the second female student, Jiu Muli remembered that she was called Flower Speaker, and her cultivation was only slightly weaker than Pan Hu's. She was already at the sixth level of Star Spirit Stage, one minor stage higher than her opponent.
Adding Qin Zheng into the mix, if one of the remaining three students were to win, Jiu Muli might not even have to fight.
Thinking about that, everyone in Zhongzhou Academy heaved a sigh of relief, this was the only good news.
