C315 On the Eve of the Storm
At this moment, Zhang Fan smiled and let go of Yue Yi, as if it was a very natural thing to do. What was wrong with him? It was not the first time, but rather so many times. What was wrong with him?
After Zhang Fan sat up, Yue Yi also sat down. She tied up her hair and sat down on the bed.
At this moment, Zhang Fan raised his head to look at Yue Yi. "Do you think we'll run into the other three academies this time?"
"I don't know," Yue Yi shook her head. Then, she said, "But the chances are high, right?"
"Yes, that's right." Zhang Fan gently nodded. "Moreover, the probability of this happening will only get higher and higher. What I want to say is, if we're not careful and run into the Mystic Moon Academy, what do you plan to do?"
"Do what you need to do," Yue Yi said directly.
Zhang Fan couldn't help but laugh as he stretched his back before taking the little magical beast into his arms. He blinked his eyes and said, "Actually, I want to tell you something. You don't need to train your body."
"What's wrong?" Yue Yi asked with doubt in her eyes.
"It's quite comfortable holding her," Zhang Fan laughed, an indescribable smile on his face.
Yue Yi didn't expect Zhang Fan to say that. Instead, she revealed an unnatural look and a slight blush on her face.
Zhang Fan smiled and then laid back down on the bed with the little magical beast in his arms. It wasn't until Yang Sixuan and the others arrived that they left with them.
Yesterday, they were a bit nervous, but today, they were even more nervous. This was because the little team that they left behind had some strength, so it would become more and more difficult to continue.
Of the twenty-two academies, four had been eliminated, leaving only eighteen, which meant that they were divided into nine groups. Among them, five had failed before, and thirteen had not failed before.
However, Zhang Fan and the others weren't afraid at all. That opportunity didn't even seem to have any use. In any case, they were going to encounter him sooner or later, so what difference did it make if they arrived earlier or later?
It was just as Zhang Fan had thought. Today's competition really did have two major academies colliding with each other. However, it wasn't Blue Cloud Academy, but Fire Dance Academy and Mystic Moon Academy. However, Fire Dance Academy chose to fight with them instead.
Although there was one less intense battle, if this continued, then the final battle would become even more fierce.
There was actually a reason to avoid conflict, and that was the hidden trump card. No one wanted to reveal their trump card as soon as possible. If the other academies were to know about this in advance, it would be bad.
Zhang Fan and the others didn't care. Their trump cards had been accumulated over such a long period of time, and were basically announced during the first battle. After that, it was all about individual abilities. This could be considered a small and important factor.
After a day had passed, four groups were eliminated once again. The results were quite balanced, and were pretty good. At this time, the chances of the four academies colliding with each other would only grow greater and greater. It could be said that everyone was looking forward to the real contest brought by the four great academies. At that time, the most beautiful and amazing should be …
At night, after taking a bath, Zhang Fan chose to stay in the same bed as Yue Yi. The reason for that was because … There were many reasons for this. Firstly, Yue Yi was about to leave. Secondly, Zhang Fan felt that it was quite comfortable hugging her. Third, he should have gotten used to it by now.
With the advent of a brand-new day, everyone was slightly trembling with anticipation. Including Liu Ruyan who came over, she said with encouragement, "You must work hard. If you can get first place, you will receive a great reward."
Zhang Fan didn't know what the big reward was, but even without this reward, he would still work hard.
Of course, Zhang Fan also understood that Liu Ruyan was trying to encourage him with her words, so he was more or less moved with his internal energy. Liu Ruyan was a good woman, a rare woman, and not only were her thoughts meticulous, she was also an extremely intelligent woman.
However, they were still lucky that they did not run into the other three academies. This caused some people to be disappointed, but it was not only them who were disappointed, even Zhang Fan and the others also felt a little helpless. They actually hoped to come into contact with the other three academies as soon as possible, because at that time, it would be time for them to prove their strength.
Although they hadn't met, the Sunset Kingdom and the Fire Wu Empire had clashed. The Sunset Kingdom didn't have the chance to choose and avoid this battle, so the day that everyone anticipated was disappointing. However, what made everyone feel good was that the two academies that were eliminated today were the same.
However, anyone could see that the strength of the twelve remaining academies was actually quite strong.
Of course, the four great academies were stronger, because they had yet to use their martial spirits, so it would instead be much better if they did so, and in short, it would be the eve of a storm. After all, right now, two academies had used up their opportunity, which also meant that only Blue Cloud Academy would still be able to use it once, and if it wasn't for Blue Cloud Academy, then the other three would have probably started fighting, and at that time, it would probably become extremely exciting.
It was a silent night. On the second day, when everyone arrived, they could clearly feel the tension between them. The twelve academies only had six groups.
Today's first match was against the Setting Sun Empire. They directly eliminated the academy that had failed once.
The second match was between two other academies, not one of the four. Both academies had similarly been defeated once, so in the second match, there would be another one eliminated.
During the third match, when the old man read out the announcement, Zhang Fan's eyebrows slightly raised. Cang Yun and Xuan Yue had already set their sights on Zhang Fan, and Zhang Fan was looking at Yue Yi, his expression extremely calm. Last time, Profound Moon Academy had occupied the last position among the four great academies, so if they were to defeat the Mystic Moon Empire once, this result could be revealed.2
He frowned slightly. If it wasn't for the link between Yue Yi and him, he wouldn't have hesitated at all. However, now that he hesitated, it proved something. He thought about it easily, but when he truly faced it, he felt troubled.
However, Zhang Fan's final decision was to avoid battle. When Zhang Fan made this decision, the four didn't say anything, because his decision was the most important decision.
After this decision was spread out by the Elders, the Mystic Moon Academy relaxed a little. Although they did not understand the exact strength of Cang Yun's side, the power displayed on the stage was definitely not weak. After they met, a fierce battle would definitely occur.
When Zhang Fan made his decision, although she was calm, she could feel Zhang Fan's gaze on her. She knew in her heart that Zhang Fan's decision had to do with her.
Because of their last right to avoid war, the four great academies once again avoided conflict, and their anticipation for the end of the war grew even greater. All the academies thought so, and so did the clans present.
At nightfall, the competition had ended. Today, the number of teams eliminated was no more. Coincidentally, there were still four academies. Therefore, there was only half of the academy left, and they were currently participating in the four groups competition.
Under these circumstances, the rehearsal became more and more intense. Outside of the four great academies, the other four academies' strengths also gained the approval of the public. They might not be as strong as the people from the four great academies, but they had already reached an impressive level.
After sending Liu Ruyan off, Zhang Fan still returned early. When Zhang Fan walked out from his bath, Yue Yi's gaze landed on him. She said in a low voice, "Thank you."
Zhang Fan raised an eyebrow as he heard this, then sat down with a smile and said, "Why are you thanking me?"
"In short, I just want to thank you," Yue Yi's lips moved, and she said those words at the end.
"We're all brothers, you're being too courteous," Zhang Fan couldn't help but laugh. He shook his head slightly, then half-jokingly said, "If you really want to thank me, then let me carry you." After saying that, he was stunned.
The weather was still quite good today. The sun had already risen. After Zhang Fan opened his eyes, his gaze landed on Yue Yi's face as he felt her racing heartbeat. Although he tried his best to hold it in, his heartbeat still quickened.
Taking a deep breath, he comforted himself. This was also a habit. The consolation was that she looked like a woman and the two of them were on good terms …
Without waiting for Yue Yi to wake up, although her face was still rosy, her condition was much better than Zhang Fan's. The gap between a man who knew everything about cultivation and a man who didn't.
After the two of them sat up, Zhang Fan directly said, "The battles of the eight academies and four groups are about to begin. On the battle stage, be careful. Since you've already left, don't lose even a single battle."
