The Legends: The Tale of Immortality
Chapter 24: Inter-Class Competitions

The streets of the academy had been extremely crowded ever since the sun had started rising to end the night cycle. All the citizens of the academy flocked through the streets towards one direction, which was the competition arena because today was a special day for the students, especially those who were new students.

The location of the spectators and participants is arranged in terraced circles around the arena almost like a stadium. Not only that, there were also hundreds of tower-like circular buildings hovering in the sky surrounding the arena with transparent membranes protecting it.

BaiLi Yun Xiao's and Yue Qing Ye's entourage was one of the group of people who had come even before the sky was fully awake. Due to the special privileges belonging to BaiLi Yun Xiao and Yue Qing Ye, they were given a room in one of the floating buildings. The building requires a lot of money to be booked. Arguably, the room in the building floated on par with the VIP room.

When he woke up that early in the morning, BaiLi Yun Hua was still wondering what was the point of them leaving so early while others were still nesting in their dreams. When asking his doubts, BaiLi Yun Xiao's answer was only a line.

"If we delay any longer, we'll be late."

The sky is still sleeping, what is late???

When he arrived at the location, BaiLi Yun Hua was only aware of BaiLi Yun Xiao's intentions. The students who were supposed to sleep in their homes had been wearing full uniforms and taking walks outside.

Not a few who had already lined up to wait their turn using teleportation formations to the floating buildings. BaiLi Yun Xiao took out their room token and the formation automatically sent them to their room.

The room is equipped with luxurious facilities that are quite complete, almost like a luxury hotel with a wide balcony to watch the competition.

BaiLi Yun Xiao and Yue Qing Ye were doing a chess match, BaiLi Yun Hua took out his loan book from the library, the rest were doing their respective business while waiting for the time of the competition to arrive.

During these three hours the visitors who passed more and more like a flock of ants that flooded the streets. As the stadium below was already full to the brink, the bells hanging on the pillars of the arena clinked loudly and the time that had been waiting for finally arrived.

A gigantic transparent screen formed in the air and announced the start of the competition. The rules of the game are shown lined down to remember each participant before announcing the form of the competition.

Inter-class competitions are held before individual competitions and start from the first-tier student division. The game uses a lottery system so for some people this rule may be quite detrimental as in the first round teams where class E meets class B. This round only showed a unilateral beating before class E was defeated.

BaiLi Yun Hua was somewhat speechless at this state of affairs. After all they were all students of the academy, meaning their abilities should not be this bad. But from what he saw, this difference in strength was a bit too wide even though they were of the same age. Compared to class B, class E was completely inconspicuous.

Matches continue and sometimes some situations of inequality of ability can be seen in the arena. Some of the less fortunate ones had already been eliminated in their first match.

The transparent screen finally chose the A-1 class after so many rounds of matches were completed. Each class will be represented by five students in the first session elimination round.

In accordance with the arrangements of Li Qing He and Wei Si An, BaiLi Yun Hua would be one of the representatives who took to the arena in the first session. Their opponent in this session was class B. In accordance with the instructions of their two teachers, during the match they should not use excessive spiritual energy unless it is necessary. In other words, they have to try to win the game with their own physical ability.

Each party consists of six students in a representative group. Class A-1 does not apply complicated strategies, they only take one opponent randomly which makes class B students offended by this careless attitude.

BaiLi Yun Hua happened to be fighting the leader of the opposing party group. His opponent was a woman and was a melee fighter who was quite familiar with the double weapon of the great sword. The woman did not say much and swung her two greatswords nimbly as if the one being played was not a weapon that was nearly as tall as her size.

BaiLi Yun Hua himself used the slender sword that BaiLi Yun Xiao gifted. The slender weapon was played flexibly in his hands and was able to withstand the impact of the opponent's great sword swing.

His opponent looked at the weapon in BaiLi Yun Hua's hand with a bright glint and muttered, "A very good sword..."

Hearing his opponent's comments, BaiLi Yun Hua involuntarily twisted back his memories.

Of course good, after all this weapon spent some money that could not be obtained for 17 years of his life.

Even though their opponents were from class B, in fact the opponents abilities were no worse than their own. Until now both sides still maintain a balanced state.

The audience responded to this situation with growing interest. Some had already started discussing the circumstances of each contestant.

In one of the VIP rooms, two figures were seen observing the match with different atmosphere. From above, Li Qing He looked at the condition of the match down there with a straight face. Beside him, sat Li Qing Yu whose reaction was even more enthusiastic than the original teacher of A-1 class.

"The girl is not easy to fight. With his qualifications it is not difficult to get into A class, let alone with the ability to control such a powerful weapon."

"The spear user is also interesting. He's fast enough, but I don't think he's serious about playing this game yet. Look at his steps, it seems like your disciple is being tricked by him."

"But BaiLi Yun Hua from your class is not bad either. From his movements it seemed like he was quite proficient. Ck.. BaiLi clan's threshold of vision was quite high no, even something like this was considered trash by them..."

Li Qing He simply ignored Li Qing Yu's unrelenting chirp. His view cannot be separated from the condition of the match in the arena that looks deadlocked.

"DaGe, what do you think?"

Li Qing Yu who was babbling herself finally turned her head to the side and interrupted her brother's silent session. Of course all he got was a cold abandonment.

The lack of response, did not lower Li Qing Yu's mood. He smiled as if he did not expect any answer from his brother and continued his assessment.

"These two sides both hold each other's power. What are they waiting for."

Surely Li Qing He was also aware of this.The group of A-1 class students did hold back because of his request, but this B class also did the same. Between deliberately refraining to let the opponent be less alert or deliberately wanting to test the limits of the opponent's abilities. Or maybe they are deliberately saving power for other purposes, maybe waiting...

As soon as this thought spun, the situation in the arena changed completely instantly.
