C434 Drawing Lots

The elder of Law Enforcement Hall looked at the excited disciples without any change in his expression. He reached out his hand and gestured for everyone to quiet down.

The one who was in charge of the event was the Disciplinary Elder, who had accumulated a great deal of prestige in the hearts of the Outer Palace disciples. When the people in the arena saw the Disciplinary Elder's actions, they immediately held their breath.

The bustling venue immediately quieted down. It could be seen just how serious the Disciplinary Elder was in the hearts of all the Outer Palace disciples.

When the Disciplinary Elder saw that the atmosphere had finally quieted down, he also nodded his head slightly.

"I am honored by the kindness of the two lords, and I shall be the host of this year's disciple's competition. Since the new disciples do not know the rules of the disciple's competition, I shall repeat them here." The disciple competition also had its own rules. Every time the disciple competition began, the host would explain the rules clearly.

Although the older students already knew the rules of the competition, they didn't dare to say anything since the Disciplinary Elder had spoken. They were afraid of angering this strict hall elder.

The new students were curious as to what the rules of the tournament were. After all, it was their first time participating, but it was probably the same as any of the previous tournaments they had ever participated in.

"First, the disciple competition is a competition that tests the cultivation of the Outer Palace disciples. Therefore, they are not allowed to rely on external items..."

As all the disciples listened attentively, the Disciplinary Elder slowly explained the rules of the disciple competition.

The audience was silent, and only the Regulations Elder's voice could be heard. As for the two Palace Lords and the other Elders, they were waiting in silence.

Under the narration of the Disciplinary Elder, the new disciples also learned the rules of the Disciple Competition. They were also looking forward to the Disciple Competition.

On the side of the Lake Gate, Lee Zhuohua quietly waited for the Disciplinary Elder to proceed with the next process, which was to distribute the opponent's draw. However, at this moment, he felt two slightly hostile gazes looking in his direction.

"Hmm?" Lee Zhuohua looked at the two sides in confusion and found that the people who were looking at him were the other two Overlord level figures among the freshmen.

Track Of Ren Yun and The Mad Demon.

Lee Zhuohua's heart skipped a beat when he saw the two of them. He knew what an unforgettable impression he had left on the two of them when he was at The Trial Ground. Presumably, the two of them wanted to defeat him in the disciple competition.

However, the current Lee Zhuohua was no longer the same Lee Zhuohua he was before. Back at The Trial Ground, Lee Zhuohua was only at the peak of the Condensing Origin Stage, but after he entered the Outer Palace, he had already broken through to the Astral Realm.

With his current strength, if he were to look back at The Mad Demon and Of Ren Yun, the two of them would not be strong enough to be his opponents, but there was no absolute meaning in Lee Zhuohua's heart. He knew that the two of them had extraordinary talent, and after entering the palace, it was likely that their strength had also improved significantly.

As for what realm these two were at right now, Lee Zhuohua was not sure either, but if he were to meet these two on the arena, he would not be afraid at all.

Lee Zhuohua's gaze only briefly met with the two of them, then he retracted his gaze and no longer paid any attention to them.

His appearance was nothing in The Mad Demon's eyes, but that Track Of Ren Yun was furious.

"Humph." Obviously, Track Of Ren Yun still had a deep grudge against Lee Zhuohua. After all, what he had experienced in The Trial Ground was no different from humiliation.

He was probably the one who wanted to defeat Lee Zhuohua the most here.

On the Trial Arena, after the Disciplinary Elder explained the rules of the disciple competition, he arranged for people to carry up two wooden boxes, one of which was the serial number label that determined the opponent of the disciple competition.

The reason there were two was that the serial numbers in both boxes were the same, and the person who drew the same number would be his opponent in the next round.

The reason why they didn't put the label in the same box was because the academy also had its own considerations. Since the freshmen had only entered the Outer Palace for a short period of time, there was a limit to how much their strength could increase. If some freshmen were to fight against the experts of the older students, it would be no different from self-torture.

So these boxes, too, were meant to give the new students a choice, and if they didn't want to go up against anyone, they would go up to the box that the man had chosen to draw the label on.

However, no matter which one they chose, they would still meet each other in the end. After all, this was only the first round of the competition.

"Interesting. I guess a lot of people will choose the same box as the two leading disciples, but as their opponents, they will definitely stand against each other." Lee Zhuohua felt that the school's drawing of lots was very interesting, he thought in his heart.

Very quickly, under the arrangement of the elders of Law Enforcement Hall, the disciples below the arena all began to walk up to the arena and choose one of the two boxes to draw their lots.

Those who had gone up at first were new students, who did not understand why there were two boxes, so it was all the same to them, and the older students did not move.

They were waiting, waiting for the two leader's disciples to choose before they began to draw, though it was well known that the two leader's disciples would stand opposite each other, and then whichever box they drew would be opposite one of them.

However, for some people, even though they might fight against the leader disciples, there were also people they didn't want to offend.

For example, the people from the Yuan Alliance would definitely stand on Xu Daolin's side and draw lots for him.

Very quickly, most of the freshmen had already drawn their numbers, but no one from the older students moved.

This was because the two leading disciples still didn't move forward. Basically, the attention of all the older students was focused on the two older students.

Lee Zhuohua had yet to draw his lots. He had been watching the other disciples draw their lots. For him, there was no difference between morning and night. He just didn't want to be crowded with them.

However, he also noticed the situation on the older students' side. His eyes were also looking at Xu Daolin and the others.

Standing amongst the older students, the two of them who were the leaders of the Outer Palace had a kind of dazzling feeling. This was because they represented the strongest force among the Outer Palace disciples. And it was precisely because of this that their every move was noticed by everyone.

"Interesting." After noticing the abnormality around him, the corner of Duanqianyue's mouth curled up as he spoke in a low voice.

He did not look at Xu Daolin, but he knew that Xu Daolin must be on the same side as him. He shook his head slightly, then slowly walked towards the Trial Arena.

His movement seemed to have affected the nerves of the older students, who all looked at him in unison. Although it was the same no matter which box Duanqianyue chose, it still made all the older students worried.

Not only did Duanqianyue's actions attract the attention of the senior students, he even caused a few of the people in the main audience to glance at him.

"This kid is also a piece of unpolished jade." Chu Angsheng commented on Duanqianyue.

The Vice Palace Master and the other hall elders all agreed. They all knew very well that with Duan Qianqian's talent, she would definitely be able to enter the Inner Palace of the academy, which was why they paid so much attention to her.

Of course, it wasn't just Duan Qianyue who had received this honor, there was also Xu Daolin on the other side of the arena.
