Chapter 297: Dragon Horse Hall (Third update, an extra chapter for RONN's 10,000-point reward)

On the morning of the eighth day, Li Zhangsheng arrived at the Elite Class classroom; this day was also the final lesson for the Elite Class.

That's right, after this lesson, the First-Year Elite Class would select the final ten people, and they would represent Yuanling Academy to participate in the Academy Exchange Tournament held in Yecheng.

Just like more than ten days ago, there were still 13 students in the first-year classroom, and all of them had reached the level of Second Rank or higher.

At this moment, Zhao Shuyi entered the room holding a Three-Tailed Snow Fox; for once, she wore a smile on her face, giving the impression that she was in a very good mood.

"Huh, she has advanced!"

The moment they saw Zhao Shuyi, everyone noticed her abnormality; because she had broken through not long ago, Zhao Shuyi's Mental Power was not restrained and was easy to detect.

"This is getting interesting!" Li Zhangsheng didn't know what he was thinking, but a smile appeared on his face.

According to the custom of these years, the number of Third-Rank students among the participating first-year freshmen had never exceeded the number of fingers on one hand.

Now, Yuanling Academy alone occupied two seats.

Would this year be an exception?

The final lesson was presided over by the head teacher, Instructor Lu Qian.

After the class bell rang, Instructor Lu Qian stepped into the classroom with a serious face; besides him, there were three other subject instructors.

No matter who it was, they could feel their solemnity!

"After finishing this lesson, we will select the ten best-performing individuals to represent the Academy in the Exchange Tournament! Alright, class is now in session. Today's lesson is still about analyzing the venue for the Exchange Tournament; don't say I'm just repeating the same old things..."

Li Zhangsheng quickly entered the zone, listening attentively and occasionally taking notes; he had always been like this, rarely having moments of distraction.

However, there were a few students present who appeared absent-minded; they were also the few students who usually performed the worst.

It wasn't that they didn't want to listen carefully, but it was truly related to whether they could participate in the Exchange Tournament, so they couldn't help but be distracted.

During the lecture, time flew by; as it was almost time for class to end, Instructor Lu Qian finally stopped lecturing. He stood on the podium, gazing at the 13 First-Year Elite Class students below.

"According to the rules, to participate in the Exchange Tournament, each grade only has ten spots. Now, I am going to announce these ten spots!"

As soon as Instructor Lu Qian's voice fell, most of the students below became visibly nervous, fearing that Instructor Lu Qian would not call their names.

Of course, these students did not include Li Zhangsheng, Zhao Shuyi, and others.

"Li Zhangsheng, Zhao Shuyi, Xu Xiangzhi, Zhang Yi, Luo Jie, Yuan Yongyan, Li Jingyi, Zhao Baite, Jin Chishang..." Instructor Lu Qian said nine names in one breath, then began to deliberately keep people in suspense; this old shameless man probably only had this hobby.

Among the Li Clan Four Heroes, Li Runfeng and Li Tianyu had not been mentioned yet; both of them became visibly nervous, pinning their hopes on the final spot.

Instructor Lu Qian paused for a moment and finally spoke: "Li Runfeng!"

In this way, three of the Li Clan Four Heroes would participate in the Academy Exchange Tournament, with only Li Tianyu being unfortunately eliminated; this was also quite a feat.

Li Tianyu's eyes were somewhat dim, but he still managed a forced smile, congratulated the three of Li Zhangsheng, and then went up to the podium with the other two eliminated students to receive the compensation for the losers.

Unlike previous compensations, because they had persisted until the end, the compensation rose from the original 100 Academic Credits to 300 Academic Credits, which could be considered a consolation to them to some extent.

"I am very optimistic about your future. As long as you continue to work hard, it is not impossible for you to participate in the Exchange Tournament next year!"

While confiscating their Academy Medals, Instructor Lu Qian offered a customary word of comfort and casually transferred 300 Academic Credits to the three students' tokens.

After they left, only the final 10 people remained in the classroom, and they had transformed from Elite Class students into representative students.

"Alright, everyone follow us downstairs first; we will head to Yecheng in a moment!"

Li Zhangsheng and the others stood up, followed the four instructors out of the classroom, and began to wait in the small square below the Teaching Building.

Besides them, there were also representative students from the other three grades present, totaling 40 people!

Among these people, the first one Li Zhangsheng saw was Luo Jie's older sister, Luo Jing; she was in the third-year camp.

In the fourth-year camp, the strongest was naturally Miao Yinfeng; he was also the only Fourth-Rank student present.

What surprised Li Zhangsheng was that his clansman Li Sheng, who had taken good care of the four of them, was also in the fourth-year camp.

Compared to three months ago, Li Sheng had advanced from Second Rank to Third Rank, and coupled with the relative scarcity of talent in the fourth year, this might also be the reason why Li Sheng became a representative student.

Li Sheng also saw the three of Li Zhangsheng; he was clearly stunned for a moment. He knew that all of the Li Clan Four Heroes had been selected for the First-Year Elite Class, but who would have thought that three of them had passed the final selection and become representative students.

For a moment, Li Sheng's inner feelings were undoubtedly complex, especially since Li Zhangsheng was now at the same rank as him.

Originally, Li Sheng had not been selected for the Elite Class, but after successfully advancing to the Third Rank, a fourth-year Elite Student happened to make a huge mistake, and he was immediately replaced by the Vice Principal, and through his own efforts, he finally laughed until the end.

However, Li Sheng's emotional intelligence was not low after all; he quickly reacted, took the initiative to come before the three of Li Zhangsheng, first exchanged congratulations with them, and then the four began to chat casually.

At this time, Li Runfeng asked first: "Clansman, how are we going to Yecheng? Do we all have to ride Flying Demon Pets?"

"This is a matter concerning the face of the Academy; how could the Academy arrange it casually? According to past customs, the Academy usually dispatches large transportation vehicles to escort us to Yecheng!"

Li Sheng gave the answer.

Suddenly, Luo Jie, not far away, pointed to the horizon and shouted: "Everyone, look over there!"

Li Zhangsheng subconsciously looked toward the horizon and could vaguely see a large building speeding toward them.

In the blink of an eye, Li Zhangsheng saw the appearance of that building clearly; it was actually an antique-style small palace.

It was unknown what the principle was, but this small palace was actually floating, and pulling the palace were nine large flying horses with wingspans of more than ten meters.

No, those were not flying horses; those were Dragon Horses!

The Dragon Horse is a type of high-level Exotic Beast that possesses both dragon and horse forms; it can reach the Leader level when fully grown. Its body shape is like a horse, but it has a dragon's head, and its body is covered with fine Dragon Scales.

At this time, Li Sheng suddenly said excitedly: "This... this is the Dragon Horse Hall; it is rumored to be the vehicle of the successive Principals of our Yuanling Academy!"

The speed of the Dragon Horse Hall was extremely fast; in just a few breaths, it flew from the horizon to above the square and slowly descended.

Asking for monthly tickets and recommendation tickets; I just want to increase exposure a bit.

Old rules: Three, pigs, proof! In order not to become a pig, I persist every day...
