Chapter 224: Exchange Tournament Opening Ceremony

"I'll find an opportunity to go out and buy a new one later; there's no rush for now anyway."

The final grand finals of the entire exchange tournament will last for nearly a month.

During this period, Zhou Yi could easily go out and replace his weapon.

After all...

He still had quite a bit of Central Xia currency in his bank card, more than enough to buy a decent Gold-tier weapon.

Putting the battle axe into his backpack space, Zhou Yi casually put on his shirt.

He wasn't the only one on the fourth floor, so he still had to pay attention to his basic image.

Walking out of the training room, he heard the sound of splashing water from the bathroom on the right.

There was only one bathroom on the entire fourth floor, and Jiang Churan was inside at the moment.

"Girls taking showers are such a hassle; she's been in there for over half an hour and still isn't done..."

Zhou Yi felt a bit helpless; there was only one bathroom on the whole floor, so he had to wait for Jiang Churan to finish before he could shower.

Just as he shook his head and prepared to return to his bedroom to rest for a while, the sound of running water in the bathroom stopped abruptly.

Then, the bathroom door opened with a 'whoosh', and Jiang Churan's uniquely melodious voice rang out:

"Brother Zhou Yi, I'm done, you can go in now~~~"

"Alright, I'll wait a moment..."

Zhou Yi turned his head subconsciously, but the scene that followed left him slightly stunned.

He saw Jiang Churan wearing summer short-sleeved pajamas, and with the faint blush on her face from just coming out of the shower, she looked exceptionally moving.

After a brief moment of daze, he quickly reacted and coughed dryly:

"I know, you go back to your bedroom first and wait until your hair is dry before coming out."

After saying that, Zhou Yi withdrew his gaze and went back to his bedroom to get his change of clothes.

"Why does Brother Zhou Yi feel a bit strange? It's like he doesn't dare to look at me directly...

Is there something wrong with me?"

Jiang Churan looked down subconsciously and instantly discovered what was wrong.

Her small face turned as red as blood, and she ran back to her room as if fleeing.

"Although I brought a lot of clothes, it's convenient not having to do my own laundry."

Back in his bedroom, Zhou Yi took his clothes out of a square washing machine about one meter high.

Unlike ordinary washing machines, this one didn't use tap water.

Instead, it had a cleaning magic array solidified inside, and it could wash clothes as long as it was provided with power.

Not only did it reduce many steps, but it also reduced a lot of pollution.

Precisely because of this, compared to his previous life, it could be said that there was almost no news about pollution on the entire Blue Star...

"But only in Qingjing can ordinary people enjoy the convenience brought by such magical mechanical creations."

Qingjing City has advanced technology, and a new type of washing machine like this can be bought for two or three thousand.

If it were in Suhang Province, it would be impossible to buy one without ten thousand...

After getting his change of clothes, Zhou Yi quickly entered the bathroom.

"Splashing~~"

Bathroom.

Clear, warm water emitting steaming heat sprayed from the showerhead, flowing down Zhou Yi's skin.

While washing away the sweat, it also made him feel that the fatigue of his whole body was relieved quite a bit.

Logically speaking, with the physique of a professional, he shouldn't feel tired from just training.

But Zhou Yi was completely different.

Throughout the day, apart from eating, he had almost never stepped out of the training room...

Releasing buff skills, body technique training—Zhou Yi hadn't stopped for a single moment.

Except for large-scale destructive skills like God's Hand and Holy Storm that couldn't be released indoors, he had released almost every skill at least twenty times!!

The repeated skill release training had also drained the surging mana in his body four or five times.

"Although the power and cooldown time of skills can only be enhanced or shortened by adding points to the level.

But long-term, uninterrupted practice and release can still allow me to release skills faster and more proficiently."

Professionals are always racing against time, especially for high-level professionals, for whom attack speed is particularly important.

Although the A-level talent Fast Casting gave Zhou Yi unparalleled casting speed, he still didn't feel satisfied with that.

"Every bit of progress, as long as it is accumulated, will eventually become an unrivaled advantage."

Zhou Yi looked at the full-length mirror in front of him.

In the mirror, he was 1. meters tall, with well-proportioned and strong muscles all over his body, yet they didn't make people feel uncomfortable.

And his eyes seemed to possess the natural majesty of a superior, exuding an invisible pressure.

"The Frost Titan bloodline not only made me taller, but the aura of my whole body has also changed quite a bit."

Holy Light is gentle; before obtaining the Frost Titan bloodline, Zhou Yi gave people a sense of holiness like Holy Light.

Thunder is about killing; after obtaining the Frost Titan bloodline, Zhou Yi's aura became much sharper.

It even vaguely carried a murderous aura that made people feel palpitations.

"But this is also good; for the enemy, it's another kind of deterrent."

Today is October 31st, and the exchange tournament grand finals will officially begin tomorrow.

In the exchange tournament, Zhou Yi naturally hopes to bring stronger pressure to the enemy...

The National Freshman Exchange Tournament is a grand event in the Central Xia Kingdom.

Among them, the competition between the freshmen of the ten top universities in the country is the focus of national attention.

Countless citizens hope to see the most exciting battles in these final grand finals!

In order to let countless citizens see this grand tournament, the final grand finals had long since begun warming up.

Major national live-streaming companies and television stations had long ago purchased the live-streaming rights.

Even companies and television stations that didn't have the qualifications to live-stream had all purchased rebroadcast rights.

At the same time, the universities that were eliminated in the early stages of the exchange tournament were also reducing their courses and specifically setting up rebroadcast screens for the final grand finals on campus.

Not only that, major middle schools and high schools across the country would also have their head teachers organize students to watch.

Just like that, the highly anticipated November 1st finally arrived!!

"The National Freshman Exchange Tournament is held once a year; this year is the 157th exchange tournament of the Central Xia Kingdom!"

"In this exchange tournament, ten universities have entered the final grand finals, and they are..."

The location for the final grand finals of the National Freshman Exchange Tournament was set on a floating mechanical island above Suhang University.

Like a large stadium, the very center was the area where students would compete in battles.

The surrounding area was filled with seats, and at this moment, these seats were densely packed with figures.

There were pure humans, as well as professionals carrying the bloodlines of alien races.

These people were now looking at the area below with expectant eyes.

Down there, a highly professional host was hosting the opening ceremony of the final grand finals.

After spending two or three minutes explaining the general situation of this tournament, the host went straight to the point:

"This tournament is the one with the strongest student strength we have seen in decades. I am honored to be the host of the opening ceremony for such an event."

"Next, let us welcome the first competition team, the champion of the previous exchange tournament—Suhang University!!!"

Accompanied by the host's high-pitched tone, like a tenor.

On the holographic projection above the mechanical floating island, the promotional image of the Suhang University expedition team appeared.

The tall and sturdy Zhou Yi was positioned in the very center, his entire body covered in black Ferocious Dragon Azure Armor, standing proudly while holding the Army-Breaking Battle Axe.

A pair of black and white eyes were as captivating as lightning.

To his right, Jiang Churan, wearing leather armor, was enchanting and moving, while the black, ancient longsword on her back emitted a cold murderous aura.

To his left, Song Xialan wore a slim Daoist robe, holding a spirit sword with a red sword tassel in her arms.

Behind the three of them, Liu Yang, Cai Jing, and others also had their own distinct styles.

With the ten of them combined, the style revealed by the entire promotional image was incredibly domineering!

After the promotional image appeared, Zhou Yi and the others, led by teachers like Wu Mang and Su Mei, also appeared on the field below.

"Suhang University!"

"Suhang University!"

"......"

The moment Zhou Yi and his group appeared, particularly fervent cheers erupted from the surrounding audience seats.

The roar was earth-shattering, as if it were overwhelming!!
