Combat Emperor: Zhang Yu's Journey
Chapters... 245: Tournament
The day went by and this morning was the time to wait.
Xing Zou City was extremely crowded, especially in the place of the bamboo river academy which was the host of the inter-academy tournament in the three Empires.
Zhang Yu was already there. He walked over while looking at the appearance of the academy that should be acknowledged as better when comparing to the imperial academy.
"Hey, look! Wasn't he the one who injured Senior Lou Xian?" whispered the students of the south island academy when they saw Zhang Yu.
It would be obvious if they didn't like it. However it was definitely not an important matter for Zhang Yu as his goal of coming here to participate represented the Imperial academy.
Not long after his arrival, the head of the bamboo river academy came out to greet his guests. He stood on the platform in the middle of the field while echoing his loud voice.
I don't know how much time has passed just for the reception. Upon completion of each representative is required to ascend to the top of the platform.
Starting from the two representatives of the bamboo river academy, then the general star akade, the south island academy and the others.
When it was already fourteen people on the platform, Zhang Yu became the last person to set foot up there. Walk so leisurely, without burden or pressure. He was really used to this situation.
Lou Xian who was the representative of the south island academy was shocked when he saw Zhang Yu ascending onto the platform joining them. Similarly, the students of the southern island academy were seated in the audience quarters. Even Grandfather Lou Xian could not believe that Zhang Yu was the opponent Lou Xian would face in the tournament.
"alright. Since it's all here I'll explain how the first round will be carried out." After which along with his sentence appeared a teleportation portal above the platform, right behind them.
The head of the Bamboo River Academy, Zhu Yuan explained, "This teleportation mortal will take you to the Yin and Yang worlds. It was a vast and dangerous place, filled with challenges. You'll go in there, trying to defend the flag from falling on the opponent."
Zhu Yuan pointed at the fifteen flags that were already in front of him. "Who survives to the end with the most flags will be the winner of the first round."
One by one they started taking the flag. Zhang Yu stared at the flag as he glanced at his fourteen opponents.
"Are you ready?" asked Zhu Yuan.
As soon as he got confirmation from the fifteen representatives, the first round inter-collegiate tournament was started.
They take turns to enter the teleportation portal which instantly takes them to a place called the yin and yang world.
Just when all the representatives had already entered into the teleportation portal, the teleportation portal turned into a projection screen that showed how the state of the fifteen participants in the yin and yang world was.
"I'm also looking forward to it. I hope there is a surprise among the fifteen participants."
As they watched the representatives of each, there was a single image showing how the figure in the projection looked relaxed and walked as if he was enjoying the scenery.
"Who is he?" ask most of the people there.
Because at that time, each participant was already moving as fast as possible to find each other. But Zhang Yu just relaxed his mindless moves in this tournament.
"He's the representative of the imperial academy of the Xuan Empire."
When he heard Zhang Yu was from the imperial academy, some of them immediately underestimated.
Perhaps because it felt the Xuan Empire was far behind the other two empires, making them feel far above.
However, there were some people who did not look down on Zhang Yu. They were a Saturn trading group that came to fulfill the invitation as guests of honor.
"Young Master will definitely win in this tournament. He will occupy the first position," Duan Jian said.
Liu Mengqi shook her head and focused only on the projection screen.
...
"Zhang Yu, why don't you hurry to find them?" long Shen asked in astonishment.
If it was her, she would not hold back and directly look for them. Get as many flags and occupy the first position. It will be easy to win this tournament.
Yet Zhang Yu still only walked slowly while observing the surroundings.
Seeing Zhang Yu's such gurgle made Ling Shen ask again. "What's wrong?"
"Eitherway. It's just that I feel a bad feeling in this place."
