132: College freshman league begins

However, Jiang Fan didn't feel much about it.

His goal has always been clear: participating in the University New Student League this time was to aim for the freshman chief.

As for other aspects, such as whether there was an audience, it didn't mean much to him.

"I'm done eating!"

About 10 minutes later, Jiang Fan put down what he was holding and stood up.

Xue Min quickly cleared the food from the table, gathered the uneaten meals, and moved them to the coffee table in the room.

"Let's clean up after the competition, don't delay!"

Jiang Fan nodded at her words.

The two walked side by side, leaving the Stone Path Small Dwelling.

When they arrived at the school gate, Shen Du was already waiting there.

Seeing Xue Min and Jiang Fan together, he smiled and said,

"Xue Min, are you going too?"

Xue Min blinked.

"My Junior Brother is participating in the Freshman League, I have to go support him!"

Xue Min was the freshman chief of the previous year, and Shen Du had also been her team leader when she competed, so the two were familiar with each other.

The difference was that last year Luo Feihuai accompanied Xue Min, while this time it was Xue Min accompanying Jiang Fan.

It was like a Legacy, heartwarming, yet bittersweet.

Shen Du sighed and nodded.

"Alright, let's go then!"

As Shen Du walked, he turned his head to Jiang Fan and said,

"I'll briefly introduce the situation to you on the way."

"..."

"This Freshman League will have a hundred university freshman chiefs participating. After several rounds of competition, the freshman chief of all universities will be decided!"

"Today and tomorrow are the first round of elimination matches. It will be a 1v1 duel by drawing lots. Winners advance, losers are eliminated!"

"After 50 out of 100 win, and then 25 out of 50 win, the second round of group matches will begin."

"The first round of elimination matches is the easiest, so you can relax a bit today. The real challenge will begin after today and tomorrow!"

"..."

Jiang Fan nodded in response.

Xue Min had already introduced these rules to him, and he already knew them.

However, as the team leader, Shen Du should explain these things to Jiang Fan again.

Jiang Fan also showed enough patience for this... Kyoto First Martial Arts University is not very far from Ninth Martial Arts University, only about 2 kilometers away.

They are all Martial Artists, so this distance is nothing to them.

Therefore, the few of them did not take a car but walked.

Before long, they arrived at the gate of Kyoto First Martial Arts University.

Compared to Ninth Martial Arts University, First Martial Arts University is several times larger.

Leaving aside everything else, just the grandeur of its gate is far beyond what Ninth Martial Arts University can compare to.

Its main body is built from heavy stone, with sturdy gate pillars engraved with exquisite Martial Dao elements, either powerful Martial Artist Moves or profound Martial Dao spiritual symbols, exuding an ancient and solemn aura under the sunlight.

On the wide lintel at the top of the gate, the words "First Martial Arts University" are written in a magnificent and powerful script, as if possessing immense strength, showcasing its extraordinary status.

Standing in front of the gate, one can't help but feel incredibly small.

In contrast, this majestic gate gives people an incredibly shocking feeling!

"This is what a top Martial Arts University should look like in my impression!" Jiang Fan thought silently.

The group entered the school gate and, led by Shen Du, walked down the main road.

They walked several kilometers before arriving at the Martial Arts Training Ground of First Martial Arts University, which was the venue for this Freshman League.

At this moment, the place was already crowded with people.

In addition to the university freshman chiefs and team leaders from all over the country, there were also support teams accompanying various schools.

The group bypassed the two or three clusters of people catching up and went to the event office area next to the Martial Arts Training Ground to wait.

"Will you draw later, or should I draw for you?"

Shen Du stood still and asked with a smile.

Jiang Fan said indifferently,

"You can draw for me!"

Although drawing lots has a certain randomness, and theoretically, the freshman chiefs of the Nine Top Martial Arts Universities have a chance of encountering each other in the first round.

However, generally, in harmless situations, the event organizers would take some measures to avoid such situations.

After all, the Freshman League is essentially a duel between the Nine Top Martial Arts Universities.

If they were eliminated in the first round, it would go against the original intention of the competition and would also look a bit bad.

So Jiang Fan was not worried at all about who would draw the lots or who he would draw.

After more than half an hour, the drawing of lots concluded.

As expected, it turned out as anticipated.

Jiang Fan drew a match against the freshman chief of Xiao City Martial Arts Academy.

He pulled out the list of Martial Arts University freshman chiefs and quickly located the information for the freshman chief of Xiao City Martial Arts Academy.

"Yu Wenbo, Second-level Martial Artist!"

"Not bad!"

"He's only a Second-level Martial Artist, a huge gap compared to me. It shouldn't take much effort!"

After confirming, Jiang Fan intended to put away the paper.

Just then, Shen Du and Xue Min had already come over.

"What is this?"

Jiang Fan spread the paper in front of them.

"It's the information for the university freshman chiefs in the Freshman League!"

Shen Du and Xue Min looked closely, and their eyes widened instantly.

"There's such a thing? Where did you get it?"

Jiang Fan smiled slightly and recounted the story about Luo Feihuai.

After listening, Xue Min said sourly,

"Senior Brother Fei Huai is really biased; I didn't have this last year!"

Jiang Fan awkwardly touched his nose, and a thought flashed in his mind.

"Senior Brother Fei Huai's Junior Brother, Luo Feiyun, is the freshman chief of Sixth Martial Arts University. He just copied it from Luo Feiyun!"

"Senior Brother Fei Huai had nowhere to copy from last year!"

Upon hearing this, Xue Min's face immediately brightened.

"That's more like it!"

... The first round of matches was divided into four fighting stages: East, West, South, and North.

These four fighting stages were located in the four directions of the Martial Arts Training Ground of Kyoto First Martial Arts University and would hold matches simultaneously!

Jiang Fan was assigned to the 8th match on the West fighting stage.

He originally thought it would be his turn to go on stage quickly, but after watching, he found that the matches before him were progressing very slowly.

Just the first match, two Level Two Martial Artists from Third Level academies, fought for over forty minutes before it ended.

The second match was the same situation.

After watching for a while, Xue Min also lost patience. She suggested,

"I remember that Luocheng Second Martial Arts University's Song Xixi has matches in the first few rounds on the East fighting stage. Why don't we go watch?"

Jiang Fan was not very interested initially, but when he heard Song Xixi's name, his heart stirred, and he agreed.

So Shen Du stayed on the West fighting stage, while Jiang Fan and Xue Min went to the East fighting stage.

As the two approached, they happened to hear the start of a duel on the East fighting stage.

"Third match, Luocheng Second Martial Arts University, Song Xixi, against Jiangcheng Martial Arts Academy, Mei Kai!"

Jiang Fan looked intently and saw a quiet girl with a low ponytail slowly ascending the stage.

"This is Song Xixi?"

"The so-called dangerous person?"
