Chapter 486

~7 min read 1,350 words

This is the competition venue Yun Shen was assigned to today; it is the strongest higher education institution in the Dragon Country, bar none.

In this world, Huaqing University does not exist, or rather, in the current timeline, it has not yet been founded.

If we use the timeline of the previous life as a reference, perhaps Huaqing University will only appear when the Yaoqing Divine Realm is about to fall apart.

Each city has at most one lord high school; this is because the spatial nodes between the Main World and the Myriad Races Battlefield are limited.

But lord universities are different; they don't need to take on the responsibility of sending new lords into the Myriad Races Battlefield for the first time, allowing a city to have multiple lord universities, mainly depending on whether the background of the forces founding the school is deep enough and whether they can get the approval of the Dragon Country officials.

Yun Shen hung the contestant's badge on his chest and walked into Longjing University with Zhao Yunqin, boarding a school bus with a predetermined route along with other students he didn't know.

Zhao Shuiyun, Zhu Ying, and Zhu Youjian all went to other universities.

As a well-known university, the campus area of Longjing University is very large, far from what Tianxing High School can compare to.

The competition venue is held at the martial arts stage of Longjing University, which means that people from outside the school are generally unable to come to the scene to watch the battle.

However, the entire competition is broadcast live; whether the contestants are spewing foul language on the competition field or making a series of lewd movements, they will all be broadcast out.

The number of high school group contestants who passed the school's preliminary competition in the entire Dragon Country has been set, with more than three thousand people, and it is expected that the high school group competition will end within three days.

After the high school group ends, it will be the turn of the second-year high school group; this is a new rule this year, which is said to be for better maintaining the order of the competition schedule.

In Yun Shen's view, this is simply gathering this group of new lords with strong individual combat power this year as bait to attract the attention of outside races, waiting for them to take the bait.

According to the procedures of previous years, it should be that all lord high schools in the Dragon Country select the top three of each grade group, and then compete together. After all, there are quite a lot of lord universities in the entire Longjing, so they can be conducted separately, which can save time and effort.

For example, the current Tianxing High School is currently selecting the top three of the second-year high school group.

Yun Shen looked at the freshly baked competition schedule on his phone; he needs to complete three matches today, and then he can go back to continue cultivating.

"The first opponent is... ah? It's actually the first match today."

Yun Shen was a bit confused; is this real or fake?

He saw the name of his first opponent, which was surprisingly "Zhao Jinlin"...

That's right, it's his cheap brother-in-law, the son of the Zhao family head.

Although it's not unheard of for a seeded contestant to lose in the first match and leave with regret, Yun Shen still felt it was too coincidental.

Yun Shen raised his arm and nudged the girl beside him with his elbow, saying: "Zhao Yunqin, my opponent is actually your brother."

Zhao Yunqin glanced at it, her eyes filled with thoughts, and she said coldly: "Not close, beat him to death."

"Ah?"

Yun Shen had never had time to understand the family situation of his quasi-fiancée, so he asked: "Why, do you have a grudge against him?"

"You should say, do you have a grudge against Shuiyun." Zhao Yunqin quietly used a soundproofing skill and asked suspiciously: "Do you really not know?"

"Expand on that?"

"Alright."

I don't know if it was because she could take the opportunity to kick someone while they were down, but Zhao Yunqin's words suddenly increased at this time.

Yun Shen's eyes also became increasingly cold. He didn't expect that the reason why Zhao Shuiyun's resources carried on her person when she first entered the Myriad Races Battlefield basically disappeared was actually related to this cheap brother-in-law of his.

In this way, Yun Shen finally understood why the Zhao family head wanted to "sell" Zhao Yunqin to him; this is to indirectly resolve the hatred.

Yun Shen guessed: "This year's God of War Fist League should have some backroom deals."

Zhao Yunqin said indifferently: "In fact, there are every year. If some seeded contestants have a background, as long as they greet the superiors, they can generally avoid the first few matches."

Yun Shen felt that he was still too simple, actually believing in the four words "fair and just," and asked strangely: "Then this is..."

Zhao Yunqin guessed: "It should be that Old Ancestor Zhao Ji is giving you a chance to vent your anger for Shuiyun, and by the way, let Zhao Jinlin be eliminated early and return to the family to be punished."

Having said this, she added another sentence, "It seems the Old Ancestor thinks highly of you, knowing you will definitely win."

Yun Shen silently opened the chat interface of Old Man Zhao Ji, but before he could send a message, the other party sent one over.

Zhao Ji: "Little friend, I just found someone to change your first opponent to that scoundrel Zhao Jinlin. I don't know if you know the scoundrel things he did before. Don't hold back when you beat him later. Anyway, the referee will intervene before he is beaten to death. If the referee doesn't have time to intervene, then that's his fate."

Yun Shen: "Zhao Yunqin just told me. Shuiyun didn't say anything before, so I didn't ask."

Zhao Ji: "In the future, you should change your address to Qin'er. Her parents both call her that. As for Shuiyun, since you are all used to calling her that, just follow your habits."

Yun Shen: "Okay."

Zhao Ji: "Then you continue, I arranged for you to be the first match today, so that after he loses, he can hurry back to be punished."

Yun Shen: "No problem."

In fact, Yun Shen was also quite happy to help Zhao Shuiyun vent her anger.

The Zhao Shuiyun of the past had no background, so even if she really met Zhao Jinlin on the competition field, she couldn't beat him too excessively, otherwise Zhao Shuiyun might be targeted in the Zhao family because of it. After all, anyone could find out about his relationship with Zhao Shuiyun.

But now it's different. Zhao Shuiyun has Zhao Ji, who appeared out of nowhere, as her foster father, so Yun Shen doesn't have to worry about so much anymore.

The God of War Fist League allows for full-strength attacks, which means life or death doesn't matter.

The referee will terminate the match depending on the situation, but there are always exceptions to everything. There will always be times when even the referee doesn't react in time, or the outcome is unclear, making it difficult to terminate the match in advance.

Zhao Ji gave him a chance to kill Zhao Jinlin, and the final decision is in his own hands.

Yun Shen believes that if he shows now that he wants Zhao Jinlin to die, Zhao Ji definitely won't say it explicitly, but in private, he might really secretly collude and let the referee "take a nap."

Zhao Yunqin was sitting beside Yun Shen, and Yun Shen didn't avoid her, letting her see the chat content.

Seeing Zhao Ji ask Yun Shen to call her Qin'er, a slight blush flashed across Zhao Yunqin's pretty face.

There really aren't many people who usually call her that. Now, will there be one more peer who calls her that?
