Chapter 1287: Chapter 1287: Heavenly Hidden Secret Realm
Xiao Yi heard the words and smiled faintly, neither affirming nor denying.
"Senior Brother Mo Youu seeks me out late at night, is there anything else?"
"Just to say thank you." Mo Youu shook his head, got up, and left.
Xiao Yi nodded, "During the second round of the contest, I’ll entrust Senior Brother Mo Youu to look after Qin Yi and Tong Ye."
The second round of the contest, after all, is a fierce rivalry between the academic teams.
The disciples of Black Cloud Academy, each are monsters, but also unruly.
However, Xiao Yi wasn’t too worried about the others, instead, he was concerned about Qin Yi and Tong Ye, who were eccentric and extremely impulsive.
As for Qing Lin, he was considered the most mischievous among the disciples.
But Xiao Yi wasn’t worried about him.
Qing Lin may be mischievous, but he possesses great strength.
Even if defeated, if he wishes to flee, not even the chiefs of the Five Great Academies can do anything to him.
Mo Youu nodded seriously, "I am the captain, hence I should take care of the junior brothers."
"If anything happens to those two, I’ll pay with my life, Junior Brother Xiao Yi rest assured."
"You’re too serious." Xiao Yi nodded.
Although there wasn’t much friendship between him and Qin Yi, Tong Ye, and the other disciples.
But they are still the disciples of the academy.
And since Xiao Yi recognized his identity as an academy disciple, he ought to be worried.
Mo Youu turned and left.
In the room, Xiao Yi shook his head, sat cross-legged on the bed as usual, and started the usual meditation cultivation.
Strands of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy automatically swirled around him.
Just by meditating like this, the surrounding Spiritual Energy was already becoming profound.
If any academy elder were present, they would certainly be astonished beyond measure.
Because, this is definitely not something a martial artist at the Saint King Realm can do, not even an ordinary Saint Emperor Realm could accomplish it.
This young man, who appears to have the Sixth Layer Cultivation of the Saint King Realm, what level has his true martial arts reached?
Since the last time he secluded himself outside Black Cloud Academy for three months, until now, no one has forced him to fully display his strength.
...
The next day, morning.
At the peak of Five Spirit Peak, rays of morning light shot forth.
On top of the peak, Spiritual Energy gathered and thickened, with formations outside the peak.
Sunlight shone on the formation barrier, instantly becoming even brighter and more radiant.
Martial artists stood at the peak, facing the morning light, with a gentle breeze brushing their backs, feeling thoroughly refreshed.
"No wonder Heavenly Hidden Academy truly is a place full of remarkable people and land infused with great energy."
"No wonder in the vast Central Region, all the Heavenly Talents flock to Heavenly Hidden Academy."
"Such a spiritual land, along with countless renowned martial arts elders guiding them, the name of the First Academy is well-deserved."
Voices of discussion echoed from the peak.
In various accommodations, teams from each academy had already gathered.
Woosh... woosh... woosh...
Outside the mountain, figures flew controlling the air.
Walking on the wind, riding the morning light, their aura was extraordinary.
These people were not the ordinary deacons from the first round, but Twelve Peaks Deacons and ten deacons from the academy.
Along with a few elders who also came together.
"Everyone." A figure stepped forward first.
"The Hundred Schools’ competition, second round, the team points match, will be hosted by me."
The speaker was Deacon Youu.
"The contest will not be at Five Spirit Peak, nor at the outer mountains of the academy."
"Please follow me."
As he spoke, Deacon Youu flew controlling the air, followed by a group of deacons and elders.
Elders leading teams from each academy also followed.
The group kept heading deeper into Heavenly Hidden Academy.
Below them were one spiritual peak and mountain after another within the range of Heavenly Hidden Academy.
Soon, they stopped on a towering mountain.
"Everyone." Deacon Youu looked at the teams from each academy and said solemnly, "The second round of the team points match will be held in Heavenly Hidden Secret Realm."
"Heavenly Hidden Secret Realm?" Instantly, sounds of exclamation filled the surroundings.
"That is indeed one of the forbidden areas of Heavenly Hidden Academy."
"It’s said that even the elite disciples of the Twelve Peaks can hardly enter during ordinary times."
"Only those direct disciples, each peak’s chief, etc., have the opportunity to enter only occasionally."
"Heavenly Hidden Secret Realm, one of the greatest treasures of Heavenly Hidden Academy, is an unparalleled treasure land..."
Exclamations continued to fill the air.
Deacon Youu smiled, a hint of pride flashed across his face. Heavenly Hidden Secret Realm, renowned in the Central Region, is their treasure land of Heavenly Hidden Academy.
"Please, elders, open the Secret Realm." Deacon Youu looked at several elders beside him.
Several elders nodded, flashes of light erupted from their hands.
These were Mid-grade Holy Artifacts, of the same level as Sky-reaching Jade, treasures of each peak.
In terms of power, far surpassing any ordinary Mid-grade Holy Artifact outside.
Several elders of Heavenly Hidden Academy joined forces, using the power of each peak’s treasures to open the Secret Realm.
Deacon Youu and the teams from each academy temporarily waited.
The second round of the contest was about to start, and the disciples among the teams began discussing fervently.
Some showed excitement, others anticipation, expressions varied.
"Hmm." At this moment, a disciple suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
His gaze turned to the Black Cloud Academy team.
"Where’s that Xiao Yi? Did he not come?"
Seeing the surprise, other academy teams around also curiously looked at the Black Cloud Academy team.
Several disciples counted, confusedly saying, "Why does the Black Cloud Academy team only have 49 people? I remember they all advanced, didn’t they?"
Black Cloud Academy, ranked 12th, can’t even make it into the top ten.
But during the first round, all 50 disciples advanced.
Naturally, Black Cloud Academy had already caught the attention of the disciples from other academies long ago, becoming a frequent topic of conversation besides the Five Great Academies.
As for Xiao Yi, in the academy team, he was considered, aside from Mo Youu, the most noticeable disciple of the academy.
After all, when he first appeared, he wielded a Mid-grade Holy Artifact, defeating a Power Mad Disciple.
Later, his sword split the Martial Arts Arena’s ground, which shocked many.
The Secret Realm was about to start.
Deacon Youu glanced at the Black Cloud Academy team and then walked toward Elder Yun Yuan.
"Is there any disciple from Black Cloud Academy who hasn’t arrived?"
"Should we wait for a few minutes?"
Deacon Youu asked solemnly.
Elder Yun Yuan shook his head, "No need."
"Oh?" Deacon Youu spoke directly, "That Xiao Yi kid isn’t coming?"
"He’s not coming." Elder Yun Yuan shook his head straightforwardly.
Deacon Youu frowned but had no choice but to give up.
All around, the other academy teams showed expressions of surprise, "Not coming? That Xiao Yi was quite arrogant in the first round, his strength not weak, why isn’t he coming?"
Word spread among the discussions.
On the side of the Heavenly Hidden Academy team, a disdainful voice suddenly rang out.
"It’s precisely because of arrogance, this guy has plenty of enemies."
"In these mixed battles of academies, does he dare to come? He’s scared."
Mo Youh smiled smugly.
"Of course, it’s also possible he has no face to come, having done too many guilty deeds, where’d he find the face."
Mo Youh spoke casually.
Mo Youu frowned and remained silent upon hearing the words.
Qing Lin’s expression instantly turned cold.
Fang Shushu, Tang Sha, and others looked extremely unhappy.
They all knew the reason why Xiao Yi wasn’t coming.
Just at this moment, atop the mountain, an explosive aura erupted.
"The Heavenly Hidden Secret Realm is open." No more discussions came from the surrounding academy disciples; they looked in awe at the huge barrier ahead.
Within the barrier is the Heavenly Hidden Secret Realm.
...
Second update.
