192: Professional Competition
Considering the time, there was now plenty of time to go to the Professional Competition.
Xia Qi was no longer in such a hurry and left the Chaotic Land.
He returned to Shengjing through the outpost's teleportation array.
The first thing he did upon arriving at Shengjing University was to go to his single villa.
Although, it was now a five-person collective dormitory.
At this moment, Yun Qingyue and Yu Qiu were in the room.
As soon as Xia Qi opened the door and entered, Yun Qingyue and Yu Qiu were sitting inside chatting.
It seemed the three women were very harmonious.
Lina and Luo Zisheng, those two, had gone somewhere unknown.
"Xia Qi. You're back!"
Hearing the sound of the door opening, the two immediately looked towards the entrance.
When they saw it was Xia Qi, they immediately stood up excitedly.
Speaking of which, Xia Qi hadn't been gone for long.
However, the time they had spent with Xia Qi wasn't long either.
Xia Qi nodded.
The two stood rooted to the spot, and the air fell into a brief silence.
Time seemed to have frozen.
Xia Qi looked at Yun Qingyue and Yu Qiu, their cheeks flushed as if on fire.
"What's wrong!"
Yun Qingyue's cheeks were red, looking a little embarrassed.
For a moment, Yun Qingyue was at a loss.
"Nothing, I just missed you all."
Xia Qi stared directly at them, and the two were momentarily flustered.
Xia Qi simply missed them.
"Junior Xia Qi!"
Just then, Luo Zisheng walked in.
The Professional Competition was about to start, and Xia Qi certainly wouldn't miss it.
So, she immediately rushed back at this time.
"Senior Sister, long time no see."
The four sat in the room and chatted for a while, and Yu Qiu also prepared desserts.
This period had indeed been very tiring, especially just returning from the Chaotic Land.
Not long after chatting, Xia Qi started to feel sleepy.
Seeing Xia Qi fall asleep sitting up, the three women did not disturb him.
The three exchanged glances, already understanding each other's meaning.
The three together carried Xia Qi to the room, where he washed up.
They covered him with a quilt and quietly closed the door as they left.
Not long after, someone pushed the door open.
"Where's Xia Qi!"
The person who arrived was Lina.
The three women immediately made a shushing gesture when they saw her, signaling her to be quiet.
Lina immediately understood.
The three women pointed towards the room inside.
Lina walked forward, gently pushed the door open, and peeked inside.
Xia Qi was sleeping soundly inside; he hadn't slept so peacefully in a long time.
First, he fought against the demon army, and then he killed so many elemental creatures in the Chaotic Land.
Even Xia Qi would feel tired.
The four did not disturb him and all sat in the living room.
Yu Qiu was still busy as usual, running around.
Yun Qingyue and Lina kept an eye on Xia Qi in the room.
Luo Zisheng looked a few times, then returned to her own room.
When Xia Qi woke up, he stretched lazily.
This sleep was truly comfortable!
Xia Qi surveyed his surroundings and then lifted the quilt to look.
Seeing no abnormalities, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
This time, the situation from last time did not occur.
Stepping out of the room, the four women outside were exceptionally harmonious.
Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Xia Qi prepared to go to the Professional Competition.
Seeing Xia Qi about to leave, Yu Qiu immediately walked over.
"Eat something before you go!"
Yu Qiu had already prepared the meal, and Xia Qi called the others over as well.
The five ate their meal, each focused on their own food, with no one speaking.
After Xia Qi finished eating, he looked at them.
For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
"Senior Sister, are there any important things to note about the Professional Competition?"
Xia Qi asked.
Luo Zisheng stopped what she was doing and quickly took out some materials.
Before she came back, she had already prepared the materials.
She just hadn't found a suitable opportunity to speak, but now that Xia Qi asked, she quickly took out the materials.
"These are the materials from previous Professional Competitions."
"They include all the schedules and competition rules, especially some important points, which I have all organized inside."
Xia Qi took the materials; he had to admit, they were indeed very detailed.
It was almost as if they were going to reveal the house numbers of all the top players from previous competitions.
"If it's only within Level 30, there aren't many things to pay attention to."
"However, this time's arena competition is different from previous ones."
Hearing Luo Zisheng's words, Xia Qi immediately looked through the rules for this arena competition.
In previous years, most matches were between people of the same level.
But this time was different. This arena competition had no level restrictions.
This meant that Xia Qi would not only face first-turn professionals but also second-turn ones.
Level 40, Level 50, and even higher!
However, the arena competition would be held last, so there was no need to rush for now.
Xia Qi only scanned a few glances and then returned to the materials for the team and individual competitions.
First to be held was the elimination round.
The elimination rate in the first round of eliminations was extremely high.
The vast majority of participants would be eliminated in the elimination round.
These people would be a one-day trip for the Professional Competition.
In the elimination round, if one was unlucky and encountered a particularly powerful person.
Even if their own strength was good, they would be directly eliminated.
However, there was a revival match in the Professional Competition.
They were not just selecting the first place, so they would naturally give opportunities.
Otherwise, if all the strongest people met each other.
That would be quite unfair to those who should have been ranked later.
Xia Qi carefully observed all the details to note, extremely focused.
The four women also watched silently, not disturbing him.
They all understood the importance of this Professional Competition.
With three hours left until the competition began, the five had already left the villa.
They arrived at a plaza in Shengjing University, where many participants had already gathered.
Shengjing University would send all participating students to the designated location.
Of course, those who wanted to watch the competition could also go.
For Shengjing University, these were all trivial matters.
At this moment, the plaza was already packed with people.
Fortunately, Xia Qi and the five arrived early, otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to squeeze in.
Students were taken away in batches by the school staff.
Xia Qi and his group were among them and were soon sent to Tian Du City, where the competition would be held.
As soon as they stepped out of the teleportation array, they saw that there were already many people here.
All of them had come for the Professional Competition.
Under the guidance of the academy, the students walked into the passage of the venue, which was where they would be staying for this period.
The passage was also crowded with people.
The five were walking when suddenly a shout came from behind them.
"Move aside, move aside, don't block the way!"
The voice got closer and closer, soon reaching behind Xia Qi and the others.
"Hey brat, did you hear me? Hurry up and move aside for this big guy!"
Hearing the voice, Xia Qi knew the other party was talking about him.
He looked back and saw a burly man.
His body was full of bulging muscles, and he carried a sword on his back that was even taller than Xia Qi.
This person looked like a warrior type; his strong body alone occupied the space of two other people.
