Since then, Luo Liya had settled in her room and had not left it for a day. Zhang Yi and Feng Jianxin thought it was strange, but Luo Liya had always been a person who focused on cultivation, so they didn't suspect her.

During this period of time, Luo Liya had not seen anyone other than Fire Faction's Phoenix Chime and Moon Spirit. Even when Lori went downstairs to look for her, she did not go down, so she did not dare take too big of a risk.

Lorraine thought she was at odds with him again and felt helpless.

A few more days passed, and the martial arts competition that the academy had been attaching great importance to since last year had finally begun.

This time, the academy invited many heavyweights to judge the competition. The Imperial Army of Clearwater was the head of the judges, and the rest were the commanders of the four seas. Of course, Luo Lei was one of them as he rushed from the East Sea to the imperial city.

Other than the judges, many of the officials in the imperial court who held high positions had also come to watch the competition. From the chief minister to the senior ministers, all of them were scholars, and of course, Gao Ying was one of them.

Luo Liya avoided that gust of wind, and under the consolation of the moon spirit, she stopped staying in her room all day to watch the competition with the moon spirit.

The competition was from the lowest to the highest. First, it was a contest between martial masters, then it was between unspecialized characters, then it was a competition between real people. There were no Immortal Level masters among the students, so there was no need to compete with others.

The martial arts competition was divided into three parts. The first was the use of weapons, and the range of weapons was very wide, other than swords, spears, swords, and halberds, there were many other weapons that had never been seen before. This time, they were all brought out by the academy to let everyone open their eyes, and the interesting thing was, the weapons used in the competition were not chosen, but chosen by the other side.

The second aspect was a competition of zhen qi, which was the most important aspect. After all, the way to practice was to rely on zhen qi, allowing the two to stand at a distance of more than ten zhen qi level.

As for the third aspect, it was naturally the comprehensive ability assessment. Before the competition, no one knew the content of the exam, some people guessed that it could be a poetic etiquette, some people thought it could be a strategy for managing the country, and some people thought it was better to leave out this part so that the judges could create a conspiracy.

All in all, there were different opinions.

For the first three days, it was a competition between Martial Masters. Luo Liya felt that this competition was very interesting, but she did not know what the competition rules would be when it was time for a true disciple.

For the first time, almost all the students of the school were present to watch. It was hard to suppress the excitement in their hearts.

First was the Headmaster's speech, and this was the first time Luo Liya had seen the Headmaster. Before this, he had always been elusive, leaving many matters of the academy to Leng Shang. This time, she finally got to see the Headmaster's true face.

He was very old, with gray hair and a gray beard. His face was full of wrinkles, as if he had lived for hundreds of years.

However, his body was extremely sturdy, and he had a hale and hearty look on his face. He walked to the highest platform of the sports field without the help of anyone, and his eyes flashed with a rigid light.

She and Moon Spirit stood on the spot and watched. Just as they were about to lose their minds, they heard Wu Kong cry out in surprise, "Big sister!"

"Elder sister, you're finally willing to come out!"

In the blink of an eye, Luo Liya saw Wu Kong's handsome and sunny face. Fu Dongming followed behind Wu Kong with a smile shining in his eyes.

Ye Yingtian and Zi Ruo walked at the back. When Ye Yingtian saw Luo Liya, he immediately exclaimed, "You've finally appeared!?" I thought you were going to become a deity! "

Hearing Ye Yingtian's exaggerated words, Luo Liya suddenly felt a few black lines appear on her forehead, "Lower your voice!"

"No one has the time to care about us right now, so what's there to be afraid of?" Ye Yingtian said with dissatisfaction, then changed the topic, "How is it? Have you recently gotten yourself some kind of evil art? "

Luo Liya couldn't help but glare at him, "Can't you be more serious? No wonder you can't marry a pretty girl."

Everyone who heard this could not help but burst out laughing.

The joke about Ye Yingtian not marrying a beautiful girl was actually made after his return from home. His family could be considered a famous family, and he had a stubborn grandmother who always opposed his decision to come to the Imperial City. Firstly, he felt that the risk was very high.

After he returned home, he would talk all day about marrying a wife for him. Ye Yingtian was extremely annoyed, and in the end, he would directly tell the old lady that there was no pretty girl willing to take him in his current state. The old lady took it seriously, and she would take his appearance seriously, as if his grandson was the ugliest person in the world.

When he arrived at the academy, he complained to Luo Liya and the others. However, he did not expect them to laugh at him, so he became even more depressed.

This could be considered as a simple condiment in their boring lives. Now that Ye Yingtian heard that Luo Liya had taken out this matter to tease him, he wanted to retort, but he didn't expect to hear a loud sound.

Everyone was stunned. They looked up and realized that the dean had finished his speech. It was time to fire the cannon.

The sounds of ceremonial cannons were very loud. It was clearly daytime, yet they were blooming with beautiful fireworks in the sky, dazzling everyone who looked at them. For the sake of this martial arts competition, the academy had really put in a lot of effort.

The dean finally left his seat after the cannon sound had ended. The podium from before was quickly arranged to form a competition arena. It was surrounded by fences, and the workmanship was extremely meticulous. This was the largest competition arena in the entire Blue Water Country.

The main judge was General Zhang Wu You, as he announced the start of the competition, Leng Shang began to recite his name, the first two people on stage heard his name, immediately took off their shirt, exposed their arms, and walked up to the stage.

Luo Liya observed the two of them, their eyes flashed with a sharp light, fiercely staring at each other. This competition, first of all, one had to overshadow others in terms of aura.

After Leng Shang announced that the competition had begun, the two of them walked over to the weapons pile and carefully selected one of them. One of the sturdy and sturdy men picked a dagger as an opportunity to take advantage of the competition rules.

"How could there be someone like that? He's so shameless."

"Exactly! Even if we win, it would be disgraceful! " He was much thinner than the tough guy, but his body was still very strong. With his strong muscles and tall body, he seemed to be very agile, and if there were no surprises, the winner of this match would be that student.

When the thin man saw that the other party had chosen a dagger, he did not get angry. Instead, he indifferently glanced at it before turning around and choosing a spear. Extremely long spear.

The competition officially began. The sturdy man used the spear to stab the man, but he skillfully dodged it. After dodging, he quickly stabbed the dagger into the sturdy man's waist, and the sturdy man naturally knew of his attack. He immediately dodged, but he did not expect the lean man to suddenly extend his foot and kick his knee.

The man's body stiffened, and he almost fell to the ground. He held his spear on the ground to prevent himself from falling, but this gave the thin man another chance. He stepped forward, grabbing the man's collar with one hand, and placed the dagger on his neck.

The brawny man never expected that he would have such a reaction. His eyes widened, and just as he was about to resist, he heard the sound of a gong.

"This round, Fang Zheng wins."

Hearing his words, Luo Liya finally understood that the thin man was actually called Fang Zheng.

After winning, Fang Zheng immediately withdrew his dagger and cupped his hands towards the muscular man, then turned around. Luo Liya finally saw his face, with its handsome features, thick eyebrows and large eyes, belonging to the type that would attract attention even if one stood in the crowd. Luo Liya looked at his face, not knowing where she had seen him before, but she could not remember where, so she decided not to continue watching the competition.

Although it was called a mystery, there was actually no mystery about it. This was because the judges had to determine the content of the third round based on the performance of the first and second rounds. The first and second rounds were both won by the thin male student, so the third round was not carried out.

The following match was far from being as exciting as the first one. Luo Liya was distracted, her mind constantly thinking about where she had seen that male student, but there was still no result.

At noon, the competition came to an end, Luo Liya followed Wu Kong and the others to the cafeteria for a meal. She hadn't been to the cafeteria for a while, and Wu Kong had been very active along the way, so she sat down and went to get the lunchbox.

"I haven't even seen him so enthusiastic a few days ago. Today, he's dancing with joy and looks like he's about to go crazy."

"Is that so?" They had not seen each other for quite some time. Not only Luo Liya, but even Yue Ling and the others rarely saw him. They only knew that he often went to the Cave of the Underworld to receive Xu Shang's teachings.

This was not a secret between them, but they did not tell anyone else. After all, Xu Shang's identity was sensitive, and he was not willing to reveal himself and be pointed at.

"Dongming, has your training area been going smoothly?" Hearing that, Fu Dongming raised his head, his eyes smoothly meeting hers. With a shallow smile, he said, "Not bad, the number of times I've been scolded has decreased."

Xu Shang was very strict with him, often calling him stupid. He knew he wanted him to become a dragon, so he did not take offense to Xu Shang. Now, he was being scolded less often by Xu Shang.

"Is that so? "That's great, you have acknowledged the former soldier as your master, and your future is limitless." Luo Liya coughed and slowly opened her mouth.

"You're too kind, I don't care about that. With you guys as my friends, I'm very satisfied."

Hearing his words, Ye Yingtian exploded again, "Do you have to be so fake? You clearly want to bring glory to your ancestors, yet you act like you don't care, tsk tsk tsk tsk. "

"I'm not like you. I don't have any fickle feelings." Fu Dongming immediately retorted, and the two began a new round of bickering.

Luo Liya looked at them with a smile but didn't say anything. Ye Yingtian was truly a clown. He could argue with anyone, but the more they fought, the more emotional it became.

Ignoring the persuasion of Moon Spirit and the others, she returned to her room to train. As the date of the competition got closer and closer, she felt that her heart was as tense as a string. She carefully maintained its safety, afraid that it would break if she wasn't careful.
