Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 131 — Major Tournament Academy
"Tournament?" Zhou Yuan had actually heard this information but did not expect the time of the tournament to be near.
The Four Empires Academy was a prominent academy not only in the Moon Empire but in three Empires at once.
As the name of the academy was reserved for all the empires that existed in the Northern Mainland Continent, it was located at the border of the four empires, right on top of a huge and also towering mountain.
The Four Empires Academy was built as a peace treaty when the four Empires were still in conflict and fighting for power.
According to what Zhou Yuan knew, in order to enter the greatest Academy a disciple must have high abilities, only young genius warriors could pass through.
In the academy that was also Xiao Rou and Yue Linxia were currently studying, both of them who were young geniuses were not too difficult to be able to enter the academy.
"Yuan'er, since you've agreed to sign up for the tournament, how about you join Fei'er, he'll also join the tournament."
"Register?" Zhou Yuan looked at Jiang Qisha in confusion. "When?"
"Hm, didn't you approve of the letter you sent, did you forget?"
Zhou Yuan smiled wryly, so he recalled that the purpose of the trip he had come here was because his Grandfather had told him to bring a letter to the Moon Emperor.
Zhou Yuan did not expect the contents of the letter to be about him, it seemed that Zhou Bing had indeed planned about this tournament.
In the end Zhou Yuan nodded, there was no harm in him going there and following the tournament. Zhou Yuan also wanted to see the largest Academy in the four empires directly because in his first life he had only heard of the rumors of others.
The big tournament in the Four Imperial Academy itself usually took place over the course of once every ten years, fighting over a huge prize if a young swordsman won it.
Participants are divided into two paths, the first path is the participants of the academy students themselves and the second path is participants outside the academy.
To register for the tournament someone outside the academy would have to pay for the registration which was very expensive while for the students of their academy there was no need to pay, either, it's just that they need to have decent skills in order to compete in the tournament.
"Your Majesty, if the tournament's time is two months away isn't it too late?" Zhou Yuan knew the distance of the Imperial Capital with the Academy was very far, if using even the fastest horse would at least take another 3 months.
Jiang Qisha smiled widely, "The matter of travel let us take care of it, we do not use the land path but use the sky path."
Zhou Yuan held his breath, he seemed to understand Jiang Qisha's intent regarding the path of the heavens.
"Right, we'll use the eagle's stealth to go there." As if he could read Zhou Yuan's thoughts, Jiang Qisha replied afterwards.
Zhou Yuan was surprised, he had heard rumors that the Imperial Family had a pet hawk stealth that the Emperor used when traveling to various places easily.
Almost the same as the organization that was riding on the bird stealth during yesterday's attack, the imperial eagle demon can be controlled and used as a vehicle as well.
The difference lies in the type of demon itself, the eagle maintained by Jiang Qisha is not an ordinary eagle but a very rare white eagle.
These eagles had to be nurtured when they were small to the point of being stealthy, white eagles had a flying speed twice that of ordinary hawk stealth, at least if Zhou Yuan went to the Academy, the time taken is about a few weeks.
"Grandfather here?"
"Fei'er, Grandpa and Yuan'er are talking about the tournament, how, are you ready to compete there?" Jiang Qisha smiled, stroking the hair of his beloved granddaughter.
Yifei nodded vigorously, the attitude of the girl changed drastically when with Jiang Qisha, more to a spoiled and cheerful nature.
Jiang Qisha then explained back to Yifei that the girl and Zhou Yuan were likely to take part in the tournament.
"He wants a list of tournaments, isn't that too..." Yifei glanced at Zhou Yuan until he swallowed his saliva.
Upon seeing Zhou Yuan's abilities instantly, Yifei felt he was no match for him at all. If Zhou Yuan entered the tournament then he had no hope of becoming a winner.
"Grandfather understands what you're thinking but this tournament is not a fight for victory but pride in the Moon Empire..." Jiang Qisha stroked the top of Yifei's head once more.
"I understand Grandpa, I just thought that if Brother Yuan were to enter the tournament, he would be the winner."
Jiang Qisha chuckled softly, he had actually thought of that since he first met Zhou Yuan in Hana City.
In just one look, no swordsman in the martial world who was under 20 years of age had as much talent as Zhou Yuan. It could be said that Jiang Qisha was one hundred percent sure that Zhou Yuan would be the winner in that great tournament.
Jiang Qisha then explained that the two would be leaving for about 2 more weeks, asking that Zhou Yuan and Yifei be more active in training.
"I can't take you there because of the situation of the palace, my right hand, Jiang Long will represent me and take you to the Academy."
"But Grandfather, isn't the tournament attended by four Emperors, if Grandpa didn't go there what the other 3 Emperors thought?" Yifei was actually hoping that his Grandfather would take him there because he wanted to make Jiang Qisha proud of his abilities.
"That's why Grandfather has already given the letter to the other 3 Emperors, you don't have to worry about it..." Jiang Qisha understood his granddaughter's feelings but he could not do much, as the attack on the Sky Cloud Temple made him more busy with government.
Yifei let out a long sigh, unable to do much much less force his will.
"There's no need to be sad, Fei'er, can't you do-..." Jiang Qisha suddenly brought his lips closer to Yifei's ears, he whispered something, long enough, when Jiang Qisha pulled away, Yifei's face was already flushed red.
"Grandfather..." Yifei lightly hit Jiang Qisha who was now laughing loosely.
Zhou Yuan looked at the pair of Grandpa and grandson from earlier, he could not hear what Jiang Qisha whispered until it made Yifei's face flushed like a boiled crab.
"Then I say Yuan'er..." After laughing Jiang Qisha turned his body around. "Please take care of Fei'er, she cares a lot about you, she-..."
"Grandfather!" Yifei's face turned red.
Jiang Qisha chuckled softly before starting to step foot leaving the two, letting Yifei who was still misbehaving.
"It's not something to do with you, don't misunderstand me!" With his face still flushed red, Yifei pointed at Zhou Yuan's forehead.
Zhou Yuan smiled faintly then told Yifei to practice his kick technique again.
