C171 The Fifth Day of the Competition
The fifth day of the competition was what everyone was looking forward to the most, because on this day, the top four students of the mid-level competition would challenge the top four hundred students.
In fact, the degree of difficulty of cross-ranking battles could not be summarized in one sentence, because everyone had a different understanding of battle, and the methods they displayed also had their own merits. The five elements were mutually reinforcing and countering each other, and so were the abilities between humans.
Although senior students were said to be ahead in terms of spiritual energy strength, this did not mean that they would definitely be able to suppress middle-ranked students. The academy held such a cross-ranking competition. The goal was to let those middle ranks students with outstanding combat abilities enlarge their extraordinary abilities. The top four students of the middle level possessed these abilities. They were ranked among the top of the same level, so the academy would give them a chance. Fighting against the higher level would stimulate their potential.
Since ancient times, there had been no lack of experts born under such circumstances.
Mingsi did not think too much about it. He just wanted to fight with those seemingly impressive high-level students, but this idea was somewhat obstructed.
When Mingsi arrived at the main dojo, he discovered that there were already two figures engaged in an intense battle on the martial arena. Thus, he quickly went to the area where his class was located and found Chen Ziming and the others.
"Mingsi! You finally came. " When Chen Ziming saw Mingsi, he was shocked at first, then he sized him up, "You have actually recuperated for two whole days! . . . . . . ”
However, Mingsi didn't want to say too much. At this moment, he couldn't help but ask, "How long has the competition started?"
Chen Ziming saw Mingsi's anxious expression and shook his head. " The competition has already begun for an hour. " He knew what Mingsi was thinking at this moment. He sighed and said, "Due to your delayed future, your qualification has been revoked, and the one who replaced you is Ling Zehong. " After saying that, Chen Ziming pointed to the side.
Mingsi looked over and found that Ling Zehong was quietly meditating on his seat. There were many scars on his body. It seemed that he had experienced a great battle.
Mingsi turned his head and looked at the two figures competing on the martial stage. One of them was Yuwen Lang.
"It's already Yuwen Jian's turn. It seems like I really don't have a chance to fight him. " He had lost to Yuwen Lang that day. And now that Yuwen Lang had already fought, how could it still be his turn?
"La Mu!"
Just as Mingsi was bitterly watching the match, a round figure rushed over from the side. In an instant, it threw itself into Mingsi's arms. Mingsi did not recover from the shock and was knocked out of his seat. He fell to the ground. However, he was not the least bit unhappy. Instead, he held onto the pull wood excitedly. He smiled and said, "Little Lamu. Your strength seems to have increased again!"
Lamu lightly flapped the two leaves on his head, looking at Mingsi with a very happy expression.
"This little pet of yours is very cute. " Suddenly Mingsi smelled a sweet fragrance, and then he heard a gentle voice.
Mingsi turned his head and saw that it was the new student from his class. Ye Xiaolv. This girl's hair was golden and very beautiful. Furthermore, her pair of big eyes were bright and clear. Her appearance gave people the feeling that she was like a warm sun. Mingsi had a very deep impression of her, although the two of them didn't communicate much. However, Mingsi remembered that Ye Xiaolv had greeted him outside the martial arts field a few days ago. At this moment, he smiled at her and said, "Hello. "
Ye Xiaolv looked at Mingsi's silly look and could not help but cover her mouth and smile, "Hello. "
Mingsi felt slightly awkward and only then did he recall what Ye Xiaolv had said previously. He picked up the pull wood and his expression was somewhat serious as he said, "It is not my pet. He is my companion. His name is La Mu. "
"Rampart!" Upon hearing Mingsi's words, the lamu seemed to be very excited. After which, it actually flew towards Ye Xiaolv. However, what caused Mingsi to be speechless was that La Mu actually gently pounced over and did not ruthlessly pounce towards him.
This action of Lamu immediately caused Ye Xiaolv to be extremely happy. She hugged Lamu and was unwilling to let go, "Isn't a pet also a partner?"
Mingsi frowned and scratched his head. "This. . . A pet is a pet, and a companion is a companion. How can we confuse them?"
Ye Xiaolv did not ask again and only laughed lightly.
"Idiot. " At this time, a familiar voice sounded. Mingsi turned his head and saw that Yem Yutine had already sat over.
"Don't call me an idiot. . . " Mingsi curled his lips and found Yem Yutine staring intently at the pull wood in Ye Xiaolv's arms.
When the wooden stick saw Yem Yutine coming over, it immediately shouted excitedly and pounced towards the latter.
"Little guy! It would be great if you ate less!" Yem Yutine held onto the pull wood and sighed.
"Does it usually eat a lot?" Ye Xiaolv looked curious.
"I didn't notice that the tree has a big appetite. It usually eats whatever I eat. Its appetite is about the same as mine. " Mingsi explained. After the last time La Mu had gone back with Yem Yutine during the holidays, Yem Yutine had started to complain about this when she returned. However, Mingsi had spent the most time with La Mu, but he did not realize that La Mu had a big appetite. It was just that La Mu usually liked to devour the spiritual energy within the Spirit Beast's core.
"On the other hand, after coming back with you, Lamu's flying ability has increased by quite a bit. " Mingsi thought about it carefully, "Silly, what did La Mu eat you for?"
Yem Yutine snorted lightly and scolded Lamu, "It ate my snacks and even the medicinal pills I refined!"
"La Mu. . . " When La Mu saw the slight anger on Yem Yutine's face, he immediately revealed an aggrieved look. Seeing this, Yem Yutine quickly laughed and gently caressed La Mu's round face.
Mingsi saw La Mu's appearance and could not help but secretly sigh in his heart. This La Mu seemed to like to be with beautiful girls very much. However, Mingsi didn't have any other thoughts. He just sighed.
Helpless, Mingsi could only look at the martial stage.
"Mid Class One, Yuwen Lang wins. " At this moment, a shout was heard. Mingsi saw Yuwen Lang send a high level student flying with a punch from Yuwen Lang on the Martial Dais.
"Good! Impressive!"
Mingsi learned from Chen Ziming that Ling Zehong was the first to fight on behalf of the intermediate students. He had challenged ninety-six senior students before he was defeated. Yuwen Lang, on the other hand, had just entered the arena not long ago. This was only the hundredth or so last place.
"Yuwen Jian, fight well, don't lose our reputation!" Although Mingsi was unwilling, he was still somewhat excited when he saw Yuwen Lang's match. At this moment, he shouted at the top of his lungs towards the center of the arena.
His voice was quite loud, and it instantly drowned out the voices of the others. This also attracted the attention of many people.
When Yuwen Lang saw Mingsi's figure, he was stunned for a moment. Then, he smiled and murmured, "I have just lost to you. Now that you have returned, let's see how I am going to defeat all of you. "
However, just as everyone thought that it was going to be quiet, another loud and clear voice was heard. It was even louder than Mingsi's voice.
"That guy called Yuwen Lang, you better behave yourself. Don't go too far. It's best if you leave a few more for me, or I'll break your legs!"
Everyone was extremely surprised when they heard this. All of them turned their gazes towards the place where the voice had come from. They saw a girl with braided hair standing on the shoulder of a student in front of him. She was looking at Yuwen Lang fiercely. She looked very valiant.
"It's her. Lee Yuehuan. . . . . . . ” When everyone saw the girl with braided hair, they were no longer surprised. The latter was ranked second among the middle tier. It was not too much for her to say these words at this moment. However, such a valiant character left many people speechless.
"This girl looks quite iconic. Unfortunately, she looks like an old man. " Mingsi looked at Lee Yuehuan and muttered softly. Lee Yuehuan suddenly turned around and stared at Mingsi.
Mingsi was shocked by what he saw. They were not far from each other, but Mingsi did not think his words could be heard by the latter.
"When I go on stage later, you must also encourage me like this. Otherwise, I won't forgive you. " Lee Yuehuan's somewhat overbearing voice sounded once again. Quite a number of people were startled. After which, they looked at Mingsi with interest.
"Hehe, do you think this Hwang Mingsi is afraid of Lee Yuehuan?" Some people couldn't help but start teasing. However, the next moment, Mingsi's voice made the expressions on their faces even more interesting.
"If you get beaten to the ground later, I will definitely laugh the loudest!" Mingsi remembered that Lee Yuehuan had not been polite to him ever since she appeared. She had even teased his arm. At this moment, she did not have the slightest fear. Instead, she coldly snorted and replied leisurely.
Hearing this, Lee Yuehuan's eyes became slightly angry. She actually narrowed her eyes and stared at Mingsi. After that, the long haired girl with a cold face beside her tugged at her. Only then did she sit down again.
When Mingsi saw this scene, the cold-faced long-haired girl was Lee Yuehuan's good friend, Ceng Yuyuan. Mingsi had witnessed their strength in the competition a few days ago. It was indeed terrifying. Thinking of this, Mingsi secretly sighed. He shrugged and continued to watch the competition.
In the martial arts field, Yuwen Lang gave Mingsi a thumbs up. Mingsi seemed to understand and nodded with a smile. But this scene in Lee Yuehuan's eyes made her even more furious, "Hmph, these two stinky things who do not know the immensity of heaven and earth, if there is a chance in the future, I will definitely teach them a good lesson!"
