Chapter 90: The Hundred Schools League Officially Begins!

"Since Elder Guo has already stepped forward personally, no one else would dare to harbor such petty thoughts."

"At the very least, until those two have finished their fight, no one else would dare to act rashly."

After a moment of contemplation, Luo Shuiyan said with great certainty.

Relying on Elder Guo's illustrious reputation, under his deterrence, other petty scoundrels simply lacked the courage to come and stir up trouble.

And those qualified to take action would also give Elder Guo a measure of respect.

Experts of that level, whether for their own interests or for the factions behind them, would only strike openly.

They would not go so far as to collude and use underhanded schemes to target them.

Tonight was destined to be anything but calm.

In the bustling Imperial Capital, many old monsters who had not shown their faces for years.

Had all arrived in the outside world at this moment, looking up at the boundless starry sky.

Because up there, a heaven-shaking battle that ordinary people could not reach was taking place.

That was a clash between Saint-level experts!

Within the sight of numerous experts, one could vaguely see spatial fluctuations in the high altitude.

These spatial fluctuations lasted for a full hour.

When they saw the final result, everyone could not help but have their eyelids twitch wildly.

"I truly did not expect that after Elder Guo has been in seclusion for so many years, his strength has not only not regressed in the slightest, but has instead become even more formidable!"

"Now that Elder Guo has stepped forward personally, if anyone still dares to touch that junior from Tianque Academy, I fear the entire family would be uprooted by the enraged Elder Guo!"

"Anyone who can make Elder Guo step forward personally must have extraordinary qualities; do not harbor any designs on her!"

"Pass down the order: during this time in the Imperial Capital, no one is to provoke them..."

After seeing the battle in mid-air, the experts of various factions within the Imperial Capital issued order after order.

Luo Shuiyan, a Spirit-level Beast Master, had stirred up countless top-tier big shots.

"It's over, he's coming back..."

Jiang Che had also waited for a full hour, and the figure of that old man finally appeared within the range of his holographic perspective once again.

However, it was clearly visible that Elder Guo's face now carried a bit more fatigue.

Evidently, although Elder Guo had won the battle just now, the process was certainly not easy...

Although Elder Guo was somewhat tired, when he looked toward the courtyard where Luo Shuiyan was staying, his gaze revealed a hint of gratification and appreciation.

This was the gratification a top-tier expert of the Human Race felt upon seeing an emerging genius of the Human Race.

It was the gaze of someone who had volunteered to be a guardian, holding expectations for his juniors.

"This old man... he's actually a pretty good person..."

Seeing Elder Guo's gaze, Jiang Che was somewhat moved.

People with such convictions who are also reasonable are not common.

Not to mention that Elder Guo is powerful; as a top-tier expert of the Human Race, he could be said to have rendered great service for the Human Race.

On Elder Guo's shoulders, he carries the future of the Human Race.

Even now, he is still working hard for the revival of the Human Race.

Perhaps many people do not know Elder Guo's name at all, and many do not even know that such a top-tier expert exists.

But it is precisely such a person who has guarded the peace of the Human Race, and even though Jiang Che was reborn, he felt heartfelt respect for such a person.

Because in his previous life, he had also lived under the protection of many unknown people...

Yin Family main hall.

Boom! Boom! Boom! A series of sounds like muffled thunder echoed within the hall, and the entire palace seemed to be trembling.

"Tianque Academy?! Good! Very good!"

Upon learning that the people he sent had been intercepted by the Dean of Tianque Academy, the Head of the Family, Yin Zhong, flew into a rage, and a formidable pressure was released from his body.

"This Tianque Academy has such great audacity! To actually dare to oppose my Yin Family!"

Yin Zhong's purple-gold robe fluttered without wind, his black hair danced behind his head like a waterfall, and the killing intent in his eyes almost solidified.

The people around all lowered their heads, not daring to even breathe loudly.

"After the Hundred Schools League begins, I will kill that little slut with my own hands on the arena, in front of everyone in the world!"

A young man walked in from outside the door at this moment, speaking in a very indifferent tone.

Another two days passed, and Luo Shuiyan and her group had not gone out once.

Now that the Hundred Schools League was imminent, they could be said to be fighting with all their might for this competition.

The few of them poured all their energy into cultivation, striving to improve their strength a bit more before the start of the competition.

As of now, Luo Shuiyan had cultivated to a Four-Star Spirit-Grade Beast Master!

In terms of cultivation realm, she had finally reached the normal level of the participants in this Hundred Schools League.

And because of the incident with the man in black that day, Hu Xiaoxiao had also pushed herself hard against her sect, and now she had successfully broken through to become a Spirit-level Beast Master! Lin Xue'er, possessing the inheritance of an Ancient Sect, was now gradually catching up, and her realm was not falling behind either.

Finally, before the competition began, she broke through to become a Spirit-level Beast Master, fulfilling the four's previous promise.

When the sun rose on the third day, the entire Imperial Capital was plunged into boiling excitement and revelry.

The Hundred Schools League was an extremely important existence for the entire Great Jin Dynasty.

Not to mention the Imperial Capital, which hosted the Hundred Schools League, was now surging with crowds.

Countless people had come from all directions, traveling thousands of miles to the Imperial Capital to watch this important event.

This was also a major reason for the recent traffic congestion in the Imperial Capital.

Even though the Imperial Capital had the widest and most prosperous streets, they were now packed with people.

"Follow me, everyone; the venue for the Hundred Schools League is within the Inner City of the Imperial Capital."

Li Yan led the group, heading toward the Inner City of the Imperial Capital via a specialized route.

The Inner City is different from the Outer City; under normal circumstances, the Inner City is not open to the public at all, and only the powerful and noble have the qualifications to enter.

Once inside the Inner City, its prosperity was incomparable to that of the Outer City.

However, among the four, except for Lin Xue'er who was from Jianghai City and was visiting the Imperial Capital for the first time, the other three had seen much, so they were not overly surprised.

Under the escort of specialized personnel, the participating contestants did not need to pass by the spectators and soon arrived near the competition zone.

The venue for this Hundred Schools League was a massive plaza covering several thousand zhang, fully capable of accommodating tens of thousands of spectators.

As time passed, three figures appeared on a stone platform suspended in the sky.

The moment these three figures appeared, the scene, which had been incredibly noisy with the sound of gongs and drums, instantly became silent.

Everyone looked up toward the sky, their expressions filled with immense reverence.

"It's a pity it's too far away; I can't see what cultivation those three fellows actually have."

Jiang Che could not help but mutter in a low voice.

The entrance of these three was so shocking that Jiang Che could not help but be curious about their identities and realms.

Hearing Jiang Che's muttering, Luo Shuiyan whispered to introduce them to him.

"Those three all have great backgrounds!"

"The person in the middle is the Crown Prince of the Da Jin Empire!"

"The one beside him is the Dean of Tianlong Academy, and the other is Marshal Wei Long of Da Jin; the status and position of all three are extraordinary!"
