Chapter 446: The Small Space

This teleportation took even longer than Li Luo had imagined; within the spatial channel, the vast and surging emerald energy seemed to have transformed into a rushing Dahe, constantly roaring forward, while Li Luo and the others were like travelers treading the waves.

However, because the energy within the spatial channel was too violent, Li Luo and the others fell into a light doze almost immediately after entering; only Vice Dean Su Xin remained completely unaffected, while the rest of the group, including Gong Gong Shenjun, the Eldest Princess, and Jiang Jiang Qinge, were among the few who frowned slightly to resist the crushing and erosion of the violent energy surrounding them.

But fortunately, even the longest journey must eventually reach its end.

When Vice Dean Su Xin saw the sudden white light appearing ahead, she understood that the teleportation was about to end.

So she flicked her finger, and streams of Xiangli light points surged from her fingertips, then landed on Li Luo and the others who were in a light doze behind her.

By the time they emerged from their light doze, the group had already burst out of the spatial channel.

Thus, when Li Luo opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was a green tower appearing ahead; the tower seemed to be made of wood, exuding a sense of weathered antiquity.

This place seemed to be within a special space; there was no sun or moon in the sky, yet light emanated from the void, with clouds and mist swirling around, giving it somewhat of an immortal realm feel.

Gazing out in all directions, one would discover that amidst the distant clouds and mist, numerous green towers like the one before them rose from the ground.

Faintly, it seemed one could hear some noisy sounds coming from afar.

Vice Dean Su Xin led the curious crowd straight toward the green tower ahead, and as they approached, Li Luo and the others saw what appeared to be a pool in front of the tower; however, the pool contained no water, but instead held a gathering of vast heaven and earth energy, forming a massive energy vortex.

"This energy vortex is the arena for your competition."

"When the Holy Grail War truly begins, you will jump down from here and arrive at your respective competition grounds," Vice Dean Su Xin explained.

Hearing this, the crowd looked at the energy vortex in the pool with even greater curiosity.

"Do you know where this space is located?" Vice Dean Su Xin suddenly turned her head to look at the crowd and asked with deep meaning.

The crowd exchanged glances; how could they possibly know?

Jiang Jiang Qinge hesitated slightly, then said, "It seems to be an independent small space, likely some extremely rare spatial treasure? Could it be... the Dragon Bone Holy Grail?"

The crowd immediately showed expressions of shock; the Dragon Bone Holy Grail?! The place where they currently stood was actually inside the Dragon Bone Holy Grail?

Vice Dean Su Xin's face also showed an expression of surprise, and she smiled, "Student Jiang Jiang Qinge is truly wise, to even guess this."

"Since Vice Dean Su Xin emphasized this reminder so heavily, it must be something related to us... and after thinking it over, only the legendary Dragon Bone Holy Grail would make sense as something worth reminding us about," Jiang Jiang Qinge said.

Vice Dean Su Xin nodded and said, "That's correct; the space we are in is inside the Dragon Bone Holy Grail. Did you see the other towers? Each tower is a resting place for an academy; as you can see, the dormitory for our Shengxuan Star Academy is the tower before us."

Li Luo clicked his tongue in amazement; so the Dragon Bone Holy Grail had such a wonderful function, a treasure that creates its own space, no wonder it possessed divine power to suppress the Dark Caves.

As they spoke, the crowd had already arrived before the green tower, and they saw a sign hanging on one of the tower's pillars, with the words "Shengxuan Star Academy" written on it.

Vice Dean Su Xin pushed the door open and entered, saying, "Now, everyone has ten minutes to choose a room to rest in, then gather in the first-floor hall; I need to explain the rules of the upcoming Holy Grail War to you."

The crowd scattered with a boom, creating various commotions inside the tower, but fortunately, after ten minutes, they all gathered punctually in the first-floor hall.

Vice Dean Su Xin sat cross-legged on a cushion and gestured for everyone to sit on the cushions ahead, saying, "Students, there should be about twelve hours before the Holy Grail War truly begins; time is tight, so let's make some arrangements now. Each academy level must select one student to go out and gather intelligence; currently, delegations from numerous academies across the Eastern Region of Outer Shenzhou have gathered here, making it the perfect time to gather some intelligence."

As soon as her voice fell, a murmur of discussion immediately arose among the four academy levels, and then each level sent one person out.

As for the One-Star Academy, Seeing Yu Lang was pushed out.

Because this fellow's strength was indeed at the bottom among the Purple Radiance students of the One-Star Academy, and his personality was also very suitable for tasks like gathering intelligence.

However, Seeing Yu Lang was very dissatisfied with this and dragged his feet, saying, "How about having Student Bai Bai Mengmeng go with me?"

Hearing this, Bai Bai Doudou narrowed her almond eyes and glared, "Dream on, get lost."

Seeing Yu Lang shrank his neck, dared not speak another word, and hurriedly left.

Once all four academy levels were arranged, Vice Dean Su Xin's expression also became somewhat more serious, and she said, "The first thing to discuss is that this Holy Grail War is divided into two parts; the first part, the academy-level battle, is a struggle among the four academy levels, where the title of the four strongest students will be decided here."

"When the academy-level battle begins, you will be thrown into the special area corresponding to your respective academy level, and what you need to do after entering this area is to use the 'Spirit Gourd' provided to you to collect a material named 'Heavenly Spirit Dew'."

"The so-called 'Heavenly Spirit Dew' is a special substance condensed from the unique energy within the Dragon Bone Holy Grail; its function... is to protect you as you pass through the 'Dragon Blood Fire Domain' in the core area."

Vice Dean Su Xin flicked her finger, and Xiangli light rose up, transforming into a sea of roaring flames before her; however, this sea of flames was blood-red, giving people an extremely dangerous feeling.

"The Dragon Blood Fire Domain is extremely unique; no one below the Rank of Sealed Marquis can endure inside it for ten seconds, so at this time, you will need enough 'Heavenly Spirit Dew'; according to past information, ninety-nine drops of Heavenly Spirit Dew can protect one person passing through the fire domain."

"After passing through the Dragon Blood Fire Domain, you will arrive at the most core area, Dragon Bone Island... Here, each academy level will unleash the final decisive battle, and whoever ends up sitting on that 'Dragon Bone Chair' will obtain the title of the strongest student."

"This is the academy-level battle."

"Strictly speaking, the first part of the academy-level battle belongs to collective warfare; every one of your academy levels must unite and work together, because no one will fight alone here; your goal is the same, which is to bind together like a single rope, continuously collecting and seizing 'Heavenly Spirit Dew', then concentrating the Heavenly Spirit Dew to send as many powerful companions as possible into Dragon Bone Island, because the more people you send in, then at least in terms of numbers, you will gain some advantage."

"So..."

Vice Dean Su Xin looked at the crowd with a serious gaze.

"Students, no matter what grievances or rifts you have in daily life, at least here, you need to put aside all past hostilities and treat others as true companions."

"If you truly want to reach the end."

As Vice Dean Su Xin's voice fell, the crowd in the hall gradually fell silent.
