Chapter 29 Finding the Bronze Medal
Chapter 29 Finding the Bronze Medal
There was still one week left until the final ceremony.
With the final exams approaching, a growing trend of students testing each other has emerged at Shenxiang.
Those with formidable strength have already shown their prowess, such as Long Yuan and Bai Xiao, whose strength is above the fourth level of Jade Void. After this period of arduous training, Cui Shao and Xiao Hu have also broken through to the fourth level, ranking among the top tier.
Besides, when Fang Xiu went out for a stroll, he observed the cultivation of each class. There were no fewer than twenty people at or above the second level of the Jade Void Realm, and even quite a few at the third level, including Yang Zichen and his group.
Such a lineup is truly luxurious, something that the school couldn't even dream of in previous years. Keep in mind that this is only the first semester of the school year, so it's no exaggeration to say that this year's class is the strongest ever.
"Good morning, students! I now declare the 119th Shenxiang Junior Grade Examination Ceremony officially open!"
While Director Bao Zheng was giving a passionate speech on stage, Fang Xiu was falling asleep in the audience. He had gotten carried away with his sparring session with Master Xuanyi yesterday and was now in pain all over.
At this moment, Director Bao on the stage had finished introducing the two inspectors from the Heavenly Court and announced the reward for this grand ceremony—a ticket to the Ten Thousand Immortals Festival a month later.
Upon hearing this reward, the students who had been quiet in the audience couldn't help but start discussing it. It was the Ten Thousand Immortals Festival, a grand event in the Heavenly Court that was comparable to the legendary Peach Banquet.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became lively, and most of the students' eyes ignited with a desire for victory.
Of course, some students disagreed, and Yan Xiaoqi was one of them. He once went to the Wanxian Festival with his father. According to his recollection, the Wanxian Festival was full of old guys who were just there to boast to each other and reminisce about the glorious past. It was not interesting at all.
"Ahem..." Seeing that the atmosphere was about right, Bao Zheng coughed lightly at the right time, the sound easily drowning out everyone else.
"Now I will announce the rules for the first round of testing..."
The first round of the competition is to find bronze medals. A total of 32 bronze medals have been scattered by the teachers on Island No. 9 of Shenxiang. As long as you put the bronze medal into the bronze medal box, you can advance to the next round.
"bronze medal?"
"What bronze medal? What does it look like?"
Although the competition rules had been announced, none of the trainees had seen the bronze medal that Bao Zheng had mentioned. Just as Bao Zheng was about to explain, a voice rang out first.
"This is what a bronze medal looks like."
The bronze medals could be found anywhere, such as on the playground. Fang Xiu, who knew in advance that there might be bronze medals on the playground, had already scanned the area with his divine sense and, sure enough, found one.
Flicking the bronze plaque in his hand like a coin, Fang Xiu raised the plaque after Bao Zheng announced the start, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
The atmosphere suddenly turned tense when they saw the bronze medal that Fang Xiu was holding high. Only a very small number of the students present knew Fang Xiu. Most of them only knew that a monster with super strength had emerged from this year's Class One of the Celestial Immortals, but they did not know what he looked like.
Regardless of whether they knew each other or not, in an instant, all the thousands of students present looked over, and soon the first person to make a move appeared.
"Go! The bronze medal is mine!"
In an instant, spells of various colors exploded around Fang Xiu, like a dazzling fireworks show.
Wow!
Fang Xiu stabilized his body in mid-air and threw Yan Xiaoqi and the others out before the attack arrived.
The entire training ground descended into chaos at that moment, with students engaging in individual battles, all vying for the sole bronze medal in Fang Xiu's hand.
"roar!!"
A terrifying tiger's roar rang out, causing almost all the students, except for the teachers, to momentarily lose their focus.
Dragon and Tiger Shattering Gold Chant - A basic mental sonic spell.
Fang Xiu wasn't wasting his time during this period. Besides his daily cultivation and battles with Xuan Yi, he also learned many interesting spells from Xuan Yi.
The Dragon Tiger Shattering Gold Chant is one of them. It is generally ineffective against opponents of the same level or experts, but it is extremely effective against weaker opponents. The weaker the opponent, the longer they will be stunned. Those who are not resistant enough will even fall down on the spot with their eyes rolled back.
Many people collapsed before they could even return to their senses, especially those closest to Fang Xiu, who suffered the most damage.
When the stunned crowd came to their senses, they found that there were already a circle of people lying on the ground, at least a hundred people. One battle had eliminated a hundred people, which was one-tenth of the total number of people in the entire arena.
For a moment, no one dared to make another move; their heads were still throbbing. Fang Xiu raised his eyes, his golden gaze sweeping over the crowd, especially lingering on a few individuals, those whose strength was at or above the third level of the Jade Void Realm.
"Looks like nobody wants this bronze medal."
Fang Xiu smiled. He had been playing against Xuan Yi a lot lately and found that it was more fun to bully weaker opponents.
Until Fang Xiu gently placed the bronze medal into the medal box, no one took the initiative to make a move. There was more than one bronze medal, so there was no need to fight this monster to the death here.
In the distance, Long Yuan was the first to turn and leave. He hadn't made a move earlier because he disdained to participate in the siege.
"Fang Xiu..." Bai Xiao, flying in mid-air, observed Fang Xiu and the students who he considered to be quite strong.
"Long Yuan..." Yang Zichen stared at Long Yuan the whole time. They had been defeated by Long Yuan some time ago, and Yang Zichen was unwilling to accept it. He was determined to get revenge at the end of the semester.
Fang Xiu had already put the bronze medal into the medal box, and the matter was settled. The remaining students who could still participate in the competition left in twos and threes, while the teachers began to take action, sending the fallen students to the infirmary.
The three of them decided to split up and find the bronze medal on their own, and then meet up at the playground.
"It's a bit too much to make you compete with them," Bao Zheng said to Fang Xiu as he walked over after most of the students had left.
"Director, you're joking. Aren't I a freshman too? What's there to bully?"
"You're quite a frightening freshman. You're at the ninth level of the Jade Void Realm, you're probably almost at the tenth level."
Bao Zheng shook his head, though it was a question, he used an affirmative tone.
"It'll be here soon."
Fang Xiu nodded. Xuan Yi's extreme training had an excellent effect on him. Moreover, as a Chongxu, Xuan Yi had enough resources to feed Fang Xiu, a Yuxu. Therefore, Fang Xiu was only half a step away from the tenth level of Yuxu.
While Fang Xiu was chatting, the other students were busy searching for any bronze tokens that might be on the island.
"Damn it, where is that bronze medal?"
With his butt sticking out, Yan Xiaoqi had been searching in the grass for a long time without finding anything. He had just sat down to rest for a while when he was immediately pricked and jumped up. He saw that the spot where he had just been sitting had been exposed to reveal a glimpse of bronze color.
"Did a bronze plaque grow inside the peach?"
Xiao Hu, who could find a bronze medal while eating a peach, tucked the juice-soaked medal into his pocket and then happily ate the peach.
"The Soul-Stirring Bell!"
when!!
Pushing up his reflective glasses, Cui Shao walked past his defeated opponent and picked up the bronze medal from the ground.
Soon, the remaining thirty-one bronze medals were found one after another. Those students who had not found a bronze medal but were unwilling to give up gathered around the bronze medal box. After all, finding a bronze medal was useless; only putting it into the bronze medal box counted as advancing.
