Chapter 164 Undercurrent
Monkey King Shi Wan frowned and showed a troubled expression in front of Chen Xian for the first time.
"That you don't need to know right now."
The Monkey King jumped to the top of the pit and looked back at Chen Xiandao.
"Little guy, hurry up and improve your strength. The continent will not be at peace again. All those below the saints are ants."
The Monkey King took the two monkeys away.
The Monkey King’s last words made Chen Xian feel inexplicably nervous.
When he came to this world, he wanted to practice silently and seek the supreme way.
Unexpectedly, the tree wanted to be still but the wind did not stop.
This continent is about to become turbulent, and it seems that only saints can protect themselves.
[Humph, so what if you are a saint? Didn’t Tang Wu destroy the saint back then? Only by being the strongest can you not be influenced by others.]
The belief in becoming a strong man grew stronger in Chen Xian's heart.
But now is not the time to think about these things, the most important thing right now is the mainland college competition.
Although his current martial arts strength is similar to that of a second or third level legend and he can ignore any opponent in the competition, he still has to participate in the process. Otherwise, how can he meet his princess wife?
Time is running out, as the college competition will begin in a month. Chen Xian is currently still in the center of the Warcraft Forest, and it will take at least some time for him to get back at full speed.
This is the central area, where many seventh-level monsters appear. It takes some time to bypass the territories of powerful monsters.
I have seen the progress of the competition before. The competition will last for one month, so Chen Xian must rush back within two months.
Chen Xian quickly cleaned up the dragon corpse, golden eggshell fragments, and numerous monster corpses at the bottom of the pit.
So he set off with the unconscious Baozi and the Cerberus, which had transformed into a pet dog.
"Fatty, Goode, you have to work hard and make it to the finals. Otherwise, I, the boss, will have to overthrow the Holy See."
……
Eastlake, this ancient city, stands quietly in the long river of time, like a witness of time. Its name is like a mysterious spell, evoking people's reverie of the past. In the city, huge stone buildings stand in rows, showing an ancient and vicissitudes of life. Each stone carries the memory of history, and their surfaces are engraved with traces of time, telling of glory and tenacity.
This is the holy place in the hearts of people all over the continent. It is the location of the headquarters of the Holy See and people respectfully call it the Holy City.
There is a small tavern at the city gate, and many people are crowded in every corner of the tavern.
Everyone was discussing it.
"Have you heard that the Bright God Academy has also announced its participation in this continental college competition?"
"Oh my god, this is the first time they have participated in the past three hundred years. What does it have to do with other academies?"
"I definitely won't be able to grab the first place, but I can still compete for the second and third place. After all, the rewards for the top three this time are very generous."
"It is said that this year, in addition to the college quota, many family forces have sent people to participate."
"It is said that the first place winner will receive an angel..."
"Hush, this is a holy city, don't talk nonsense about the gods."
……
There were groups of three or five people at each table, and the topics they discussed were all related to the college competition.
In a secluded corner of the tavern, five people in cloaks sat quietly together, standing out from the noise around them.
The tavern waiter served the food and wine with a hint of doubt, but was soon called away by the boss.
One of the huge cloaked men picked up the wine glass and drank it all, then wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve and spoke loudly.
"Good wine. These three or four months of traveling in the Monster Forest have been really hard for me. Lilith, come and have some meat."
As he spoke, he picked up a piece of tender meat from the slender cloaked man next to him.
"Fatty, you've suffered so much. I see you've gained weight."
The other slender cloaked person on the opposite side reached out and snatched the other piece of tender meat that the fat man was about to grab from himself, with a crisp sound.
"Lan Qiqi, that's my favorite part of the meat of flowers, birds and animals. Do you want to grab it too?"
Fatty and Lan Qiqi were arguing with each other, while Lilith was trying to mediate. Goode, however, completely ignored their argument, as he was concentrating on picking up food for Reese! Looking at the two couples in front of her, each of them showing off their affection, Lan Qiqi suddenly felt a sour feeling in her heart. At this moment, the familiar face of Chen Xian suddenly appeared in her mind.
Thinking back to the little things she had experienced with Chen Xian, Lan Qiqi was filled with emotion. She couldn't help but start thinking about her own love life. Why can others find their own happiness, but she is always alone? Is it really because she is too picky? Or is it that fate has not yet arrived?
Lan Qiqi ate her meal silently while thinking about random things. She knew that this bitter feeling was not pleasant, but she also understood that love requires patience. Maybe one day, she will meet someone who truly understands and loves her...
Seeing Lan Qiqi's sudden dejected expression, Good, who was thoughtful, spoke up to stop the fat man.
"Enough of that fat guy, a man should be a gentleman, don't forget that you are also a glorious knight."
When the fat man was praised by Good, he immediately laughed heartily.
"Yes, yes... I am a knight and I must behave like a gentleman. I will not argue with you this time."
"Humph, I've never seen such a fat knight."
The fat man intended to let her go, but Lan Qiqi hit the fat man's soft spot with another sentence.
The fat man slammed the table, stood up, suddenly opened his cloak, and said to Lan Qiqi angrily.
"You...I want to duel with you."
The roar echoed throughout the tavern. The tavern, which was bustling just now, suddenly became quiet, and everyone turned to look at the strange group of five people in the corner.
I want to see who is so bold as to cause trouble in the holy city.
Seeing that everyone in the pub was watching him, Good quickly stood up, pushed the fat man down, and apologized to everyone.
"Sorry, my friend has a naturally loud voice and disturbed everyone."
The pub soon returned to its lively state.
Good lowered his head and said in a deep voice.
"Don't forget, what are we doing here? The main point is to understand the situation of other colleges and wait for the boss to return."
The fat man knew he was in the wrong and nodded in agreement.
Lan Qiqi snorted softly and said nothing more.
Lilith whispered softly.
"Brother Good is right. We are participating in the competition on behalf of the academy, so we must unite."
"Well, um~unity." Reese, whose cheeks were bulging with food, replied vaguely.
Everyone looked at Rui Silu and smiled.
Everyone took off their cloaks. Good was the oldest in the group and often the leader. He looked around and drew a line on the table with his hand. A small soundproof barrier just covered the five people.
Good cleared his throat and looked at everyone.
"I just heard that the Bright Divine Academy is also sending people to participate in this Continental Academy Competition."
"Moreover, the number one genius of the Green Ivy Academy of the Goshawk Empire is also here to participate. He is known as the youngest fifth-level genius on the continent."
After hearing what Goode said, everyone fell into deep thought.
"Woo woo~, what are you afraid of, aren't you also level five?"
Reese suddenly said something unclearly.
"Yeah, Goode almost got fooled by you. Aren't we also level five? There are two of us. Why should we be afraid of him?"
The fat man patted Good's shoulder and said with a confident smile.
Good shook his head helplessly. Lan Qiqi on the side seemed to be still angry with the fat man. She couldn't stand his sly grin, so she reminded him.
"You just broke through to the fifth level three months ago, and now you are at most at the second or third level of the fifth level. The youngest person on the continent reached the fifth level at the age of fifteen. Guess how old he is now?"
The fat man and Lilith were both very surprised. Good obviously knew the answer and looked even more helpless, while Reese was still eating with relish, as if it had nothing to do with her.
"The rules of the competition state that contestants must not be older than 20 years old. How could he be older than ?"
The fat man analyzed rationally. Lilith, who was standing beside him, heard this and gently rubbed her white forehead.
Lan Qiqi rolled her eyes at the fat man in her signature style, then stretched out two slender fingers and said.
"He is exactly 20 years old. He awakened at the age of 10 and reached the fifth level in five years. Can you imagine what realm he will reach in the five years after the fifth level?"
The fat man was speechless. He didn't expect there was such an awesome person.
"It would be great if the boss was here. Even if that genius reached the sixth level, he still couldn't beat the boss."
After hearing this, Lan Qiqi, who was used to arguing with fat men, stopped talking, and a strange atmosphere filled the scene.
In a hidden corner of the holy city, a man in black robe was feeding a little wild cat.
A figure emerged from the shadows in the corner and spoke to the black-robed man who was playing with the cat.
"Palace Master, everything has been arranged. The first place in the competition will only be ours."
The man in black robe who was playing with the cat raised his hand slightly, and the man in the shadow slowly merged into the shadow again.
The man in black robe who was teasing the cat took off his cloak, revealing a head of enchanting red hair. On his beautiful face, there was a teardrop mole next to his left eye. He spoke to the wild cat in a clear voice.
"will you come?"
