99: Chapter selection begins

Two days later, inside the Great Wall Academy's training ground, almost all the first-year students were gathered here.

Today was the day to select the teams participating in the National College Competition, with a total of nine teams gathered here.

Li Mingxuan and the six others were currently waiting on the preparation seats for the start of the competition, while also observing the situation of the surrounding teams.

"Brother Xuan, that Huang Yao actually came back, and he also formed a team, Zhang Ya is also in his team."

Qin Tian whispered to Li Mingxuan, "He's looking at us, truly as annoying as ever."

Li Mingxuan looked up and just happened to see Huang Yao's arrogant and slightly murderous gaze, "No need to pay attention, they won't be able to jump around for long after being targeted by Shadow."

If he hadn't seen Thunder Emperor's strength, he might have had some doubts, but thinking of the opponent's terrifying strength, even the Huang Family head should not be his opponent.

At least Shadow is in the dark, and the Huang Family, being targeted by such a terrifying force, will definitely decline.

"The selection begins, nine teams will draw lots, two by two, one team gets a bye!"

As the referee's voice sounded, everyone collected themselves.

"Zhao Qianjun, you go, your luck has always been good!"

Qin Tian smiled faintly, Zhao Qianjun glanced at Li Mingxuan, and seeing him nod, excitedly went to draw lots.

"Qi Tian has already broken through to the Martial Master Realm, I hope we don't run into him."

Ye Wuji secretly prayed, this made the people beside him stunned, as if saying, are you afraid too?

"I'm not afraid of battle but I'm not stupid!"

Looking at everyone's expressions, Ye Wuji also guessed their thoughts and rolled his eyes at everyone, "Do you really think fighting above your level is child's play? That's the Martial Master Realm!"

"The gap between Martial Warrior and Martial Master is indeed large, I hope our luck isn't too bad!"

Liu Ruyan also spoke softly, just then Zhao Qianjun walked in with a flushed face, holding a slip of paper in his hand.

"A bye, hahahaha, we directly advance!"

Everyone was stunned at first, then all showed joy, getting a bye in the first round meant they could definitely fight in the second round with full strength.

And most importantly, they could take this opportunity to understand everyone's strength and trump cards in advance, thus greatly increasing their chances of winning.

The training ground was very large, four matches proceeded simultaneously, and with the referee's command, everyone on the field immediately began their actions.

Li Mingxuan immediately focused his attention on the competition stage where Qi Tian was, earlier he felt that besides this person, the others were at most Peak Martial Warrior, posing no threat to him.

But this Qi Tian was different, he could always feel a faint sense of crisis from the other party.

Qi Tian used a dark long staff, wielding it caused strong winds to howl, and those in front of him couldn't even withstand three rounds.

His battle also ended the fastest, because not only him, but even his teammates behind him were full of momentum, clearly none of them were weak.

As if sensing Li Mingxuan's gaze, Qi Tian looked up and met Li Mingxuan's eyes, but quickly moved his gaze away, as if he didn't care at all.

Li Mingxuan also showed no expression, but the fighting spirit in his eyes could not be concealed.

"This Huang Yao actually has such strength, could it be that he has already broken through to the late Martial Warrior stage?"

Qin Tian exclaimed in surprise, with a hint of astonishment in his eyes, "That Zhang Ya seems to be at the Peak Martial Warrior, this will be difficult to deal with."

"Don't worry, I've fought against that Zhang Ya, I can block him with all my strength." Ye Wuji smiled confidently, "It's the same if you come help me after dealing with others."

"I'll be with you, so he won't have any ability to support his teammates." Liu Ruyan also smiled clearly, and their words also gave everyone a little more confidence.

After another ten-plus minutes, the first round of matches finally ended, and the referee requested a one-hour break before starting the second round.

An hour passed quickly, and the referee's voice sounded again, "In the second round, the Great Sage Team gets a bye!"

"First match, Netherworld Team against Xuanhuang Team!"

Zhao Qianjun looked at Li Mingxuan with an excited face, "Let's go, Brother Xuan, when I registered the team name, I noticed that this Xuanhuang Team is the team Huang Yao is in."

Qin Tian and Li Mingxuan exchanged glances and both saw a hint of helplessness, it turned out the Netherworld Team was them.

Although no one would associate it with Shadow's Yan Wang and Black and White Impermanence, just in case, couldn't they think of a less gloomy team name?

However, since things had come to this, they couldn't say much, so Li Mingxuan immediately led everyone onto the training ground, where they directly saw Huang Yao and Zhang Ya and others.

"Li Mingxuan, I didn't expect you to be quite resilient, but this time I will defeat you in front of all the freshmen and reclaim everything that belongs to me!"

Huang Yao's gaze was as sharp as a hawk's, staring intently at Li Mingxuan, as if to pour out all his unwillingness and anger.

"I went back to the Family for special training during this time, all for today, prepare to die!"

Before his words fell, a powerful Aura pressed towards the Netherworld Team, clearly displaying the Aura of a Peak eighth-level Martial Warrior Realm.

"Do you know how I've been living during this time, do you know?!"

Facing Huang Yao's questioning, Li Mingxuan was not afraid at all, he turned his head to look at Ye Wuji, "You deal with him?"

Ye Wuji nodded without speaking, just silently put on his gloves, the emanating fist Aura made his demeanor change completely.

"Qin Tian, Zhao Qianjun, you follow me for the main attack, Shao Long and Shao Hu, you protect Liu Ruyan, Liu Ruyan will be responsible for ranged interference!"

"Understood!"

Qin Tian held a sword and Zhao Qianjun held a saber, following behind Li Mingxuan, Shao Long and Shao Hu each held a dagger, protecting Liu Ruyan on both sides.

As for Liu Ruyan, she took out a strange dark longbow, and as she drew the bowstring, a spirit energy arrow condensed out of thin air.

"It's the madman Ye Wuji and the goddess Liu Ruyan, as well as the Shao brothers, they actually joined Li Mingxuan's team."

"I don't understand, although this Li Mingxuan's strength is not weak, it shouldn't be enough for them to join, right?"

"Yeah, especially Ye Wuji and Liu Ruyan, it's said that they even refused Qi Tian's invitation, what methods does this Li Mingxuan have to make them join?"

When they saw Ye Wuji's gloves and Liu Ruyan's black longbow, most of the freshmen present recognized their identities.

Although these two were famous, most freshmen had not seen them and had only heard of their methods, it was only when they saw the iconic weapons that they were able to recognize them.

The surrounding exclamations made Huang Yao's face turn ugly, one must know that he paid a considerable price to form this team, even using the Huang Family's power.

"Zhang Ya, cripple Li Mingxuan, I'll add 30% to what I promised you!"

Huang Yao looked sideways at the muscular man beside him and said in a low voice, these words made a sharp glint flash in Zhang Ya's eyes, "Okay!"

Taking a step forward, Zhang Ya's Peak Martial Warrior Aura permeated the entire field, a ghost-head saber was held in his hand, pointing directly at Li Mingxuan, "Surrender, you can't defeat me!"
