1814: Change to the Preliminaries

Change to the Preliminaries

"There are big changes to this time's academy ranking competition. The mass selection at the beginning has been canceled." Yun Cong informed them, "The top three academies of the last Six Prefectures' ranking competition, Shuntian Prefecture's Sunlight Academy, Anyi Prefecture's Jiaqing Academy, and Polan Prefecture's Godsend Academy, have finalized the new proposal." 1

"They have decided to have all students entering the competition combine forces to eradicate a zombie base in Polan Prefecture's Mount Tai."

"This zombie base had slowly taken root three years ago. Because it was not eradicated at first notice, several hundred thousand zombies have probably congregated there by now." Qi Xuanxuan and others drastically changed their expressions at Yun Cong's words.

"But for some reason, the zombies inside Mount Tai don't leave the area and just hole up inside."

"Polan Prefecture's Prefecture Lord has sponsored one million spirit currency for the Six Prefectures' various forces to make a clear sweep of this zombie base." Yun Cong smiled faintly, "Godsend Academy then suggested to change the academy competition's preliminary mass selection this time to a zombie-eliminating contest."

"The time limit is 15 days. The more zombies you eliminate, the more likely you will advance to the next round."

Qi Xuanxuan and the others were peeved at this revelation. "Oh, it's the Prefecture Lord who is offering one million spirit currency for people to eliminate zombies, yet that Godsend Academy has assumed this task on our behalf. Then how about payment?"

"Yes, of course." Yun Cong nodded. "You can rest assured on this point. Even if Polan Prefecture refuses to pay up, we mentors will demand payment for you."

You're making it sound like we're relying on this remuneration for daily spending…

Qiaoqiao rubbed her petite nose expressionlessly and was about to leave when Yun Cong called her. "Qiaoqiao, come with me."

Qiao Mu left the training grounds with Yun Cong and followed him all the way to Academy Peak's cliff.

Yun Cong turned around to look at her before he asked with a smile, "How have these three months at the academy been?"

Qiao Mu nodded slightly to show that it was barely passable!

Yun Cong couldn't help but smile while looking at her. "What plans do you have?"

Qiao Mu answered collectedly, "I want to participate in the academy ranking competition."

Not only was she going to participate, she was going to contend vigorously so that she could obtain the privilege of going to Blinsheet Island.

After that…

She was going to see if the spiritual energy in that island's spiritual domain was sufficient for Qiuqiu's absorption!

If it wasn't, then she would think of something else!

She wanted Qiuqiu to get better. She could do anything for Qiuqiu. Let alone a base with one hundred thousand zombies, she didn't mind even if she had to charge into a base with one million of them!

Yun Cong chuckled with a nod. "I meant to say that, I recently heard that your…"

"Dean." The fire spirit specialty mentor came in in a hurry and interrupted Yun Cong's words. "Dean, Master Wuyan has come back."

"Oh, quickly lead him over," Yun Cong instructed quickly. He then turned to nod at Qiao Mu. "Go back first."

Qiao Mu understood that Yun Cong was busy and quickly left with a nod.

Actually, Yun Cong had wanted to tell her that he had heard that her senior sisters from the Holy Water Sect were currently based in Polan Prefecture. He was going to ask if she planned to go see them.

Unfortunately, he got interrupted before he could tell her.

Yun Cong hastily returned to Moyun Cliff. At once, he saw a white-haired elder sipping tea quietly at the small table inside his room.
