Chapter 107: People from Shrek Academy
Hearing this, Gu Yue's pretty face turned red, and she glared at Xie Xie and asked, "Are you itching for trouble?"
"Okay, okay, I'm scared of you."
Seeing Gu Yue was angry, Xie Xie immediately became timid and got out of the car in shame.
Liu Yixuan and Gu Yue then got off the bus and went to the extremely prosperous Tianhai City.
Like Donghai City, Tianhai City is adjacent to the sea and has a better location. It has the largest port and dock in the entire continent. The Federation Navy is stationed outside Tianhai City, and from a distance, one can vaguely see huge warships anchored in the sea.
It is precisely because of its strong military power that Tianhai City has become the largest city on the East Coast and has a pivotal position on the mainland, which is not inferior to some large inland cities.
In Douluo Continent, ordinary people have to perform military service when they turn eighteen. Specifically within the Tianhai Alliance, those who are selected to serve are preferred to serve in the navy in Tianhai City.
Liu Yixuan and the others were still far from being eighteen years old, and as soul masters, they had the right to choose their own professions, not to mention that he was still a level six professional. Level three and level four professionals already had a very high social status. If they reached level five or six, they would be part of the upper class.
Similar to Donghai City, Tianhai City also has countless high-rise buildings and countless ships coming in and out, and the port trade is very prosperous.
Unlike Donghai City, Tianhai City has many mountains, and many buildings are built on the mountains, which makes it look more layered. Some high-rise buildings on the mountains even have a feeling of reaching into the clouds.
Before entering Tianhai City, the administrative officials leading the team from Donghai City had already contacted Tianhai City. However, this had little to do with Liu Yixuan and others. They were the youngest and only needed to follow the team.
Soon, the six people were taken to a luxurious hotel. This hotel was very unique, half of the building was in the sea, and every room could see the sea, giving people a feeling of embracing the sea.
Tang Wulin and Xie Xie were in one room, Gu Yue and Xu Xiaoyan were in another room, and Ling Shiqi and Liu Yixuan were assigned a separate room.
Tomorrow is the opening ceremony of the Tianhai Alliance Competition, and there will also be a draw ceremony. After that, the real competition will begin. Therefore, the six people in Class Zero entered their rooms and began to meditate or rest directly to recharge their energy.
"Ding Dong." Liu Yixuan had just been lying down for a while when the doorbell rang.
He hurried over to open the door and said with a smile, "Sister Mu Xi, why are you here so soon?"
Outside the door, there was a pretty figure standing. It was Mu Xi.
Hearing Liu Yixuan's words, she rolled her eyes and said, "The meeting is about to start, come with me!"
As she spoke, she grabbed Liu Yixuan's hand, went to Tang Wulin's room, knocked on the door and called him, and then the three of them rushed to the association's meeting place.
This time, the East China Sea Blacksmiths Association was led by Vice President Cen Yue, and there were many outstanding young blacksmiths. The association still attached great importance to this competition. Even the president Muchen came, but he came to Tianhai City alone and did not come with Cen Yue and others.
Liu Yixuan and Tang Wulin followed Mu Xi into a room. At this time, there were already more than a dozen young men who looked to be around 20 years old in the room. Each of them had a badge representing the level of blacksmith on his chest, and there was also Master Cen Yue, the sixth-level blacksmith master.
Seeing Liu Yixuan, Mu Xi, and Tang Wulin coming, Cen Yue immediately smiled: "Yixuan, Wulin, you are here! Let me introduce you, these are the leaders of the younger generation of our Blacksmith Association."
As he spoke, Cen Yue began to introduce the people in front of him to Liu Yixuan and Tang Wulin one by one.
What surprised Liu Yixuan was that one of the young men was a man named Zheng Tianlin who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old. This Zheng Tianlin had a pair of extremely long arms, which were longer than his knees, and a badge of a third-level blacksmith on his chest. There was actually some hidden hostility in his eyes, while he looked at Mu Xi with some admiration. The reason why he hated him was probably because Mu Xi had been holding his hand and sitting with him since they entered the door. There was no doubt that this guy was Mu Xi's bootlicker!
After discussing the situation of the upper realm competition, Cen Yue looked at Liu Yixuan and the other two and said, "There are only three of you participating in the youth group this time, but you should be the most likely to win the championship. With your forging ability, there is no need for me to tell you anything more. As long as you perform normally, you will definitely be able to bring the championship back to our Donghai City. I am looking forward to celebrating your success."
Hearing this, all the blacksmiths were a little surprised. They really didn't expect Cen Yue to be so confident in Liu Yixuan and the other two. However, when they saw the third-level blacksmith badge on Mu Xi's chest, they felt that the youth group was indeed the most likely to win the championship. Liu Yixuan and Tang Wulin looked too young, and Mu Chen's confidentiality measures were done well, so they felt that these two guys might be here to make up the numbers.
Zheng Tianlin looked at Mu Xi and said with a smile: "Sister Mu Xi is already at level three. There are many level three blacksmiths under the age of fifteen, so you must have swept all the juniors in the group. The championship is just a matter of course."
Hearing this, Mu Xi glanced at him and said nothing more. If it was before, Mu Xi would have accepted his praise. After all, she was indeed a leader among the younger generation. However, now there were two little monsters standing next to her. How could she accept this? Tang Wulin was already level 4, and Liu Yixuan had even reached level 6. They were four years younger than her, so what Zheng Tianlin said was pure bullshit in her eyes. However, Mu Xi was too lazy to refute it because her father Mu Chen had told her to protect Liu Yixuan and Tang Wulin.
Zheng Tianlin was turned away and immediately smiled awkwardly without saying anything more.
Cen Yue laughed at Zheng Tianlin's ignorance in his heart, but his face showed no expression. He just explained the rules of the competition, from the youth group to the adult group.
After listening to the other party, Liu Yixuan and Tang Wulin left.
"come on!"
Mu Xi hugged Liu Yixuan and encouraged him.
"Senior sister, you should do your best too!"
Hearing this, Liu Yixuan smiled and returned a hug to Mu Xi.
Seeing this scene, Zheng Tianlin suddenly became furious.
He immediately came to Mu Xi's side and said to Liu Yixuan, "Little guy, let go quickly and don't touch Sister Mu Xi."
Hearing this, Liu Yixuan frowned, looked at Zheng Tianlin with some displeasure, and pretended to be puzzled and asked: "Who are you?"
Hearing this, Zheng Tianlin blushed and became even angrier: "What do you mean? Don't you know how to respect your teachers?"
Hearing this, Mu Xi raised her eyebrows, looked at Zheng Tianlin angrily, and said, "Zheng Tianlin, why do you care so much? You are already 18 years old and have just reached the level of a third-level blacksmith. What are you so proud of here? Do you think you are so great?"
Hearing this, Zheng Tianlin was stunned and instantly speechless. He thought that he was a genius, but compared with Mu Xi, a genius blacksmith who had reached level three at the age of fourteen, it seemed like he was nothing. After all, he was only level two when he was fourteen.
"Sister Mu Xi, it's not like that. I'm just afraid that you've been deceived."
Hearing this, Mu Xi's face turned cold and she said unhappily: "I think you are more like a liar."
"Zheng Tianlin, to tell you the truth, I don't like you, so please stay away from me."
After that, Mu Xi snorted coldly and left. Liu Yixuan looked at Zheng Tianlin coldly and said disdainfully: "Rubbish!"
Hearing this, Zheng Tianlin was instantly furious. He looked at Liu Yixuan angrily and wanted to say something, but was frightened by the other party's cold eyes. Purple sword light flashed in Liu Yixuan's eyes, and the spiritual power of Lingyuan Realm was released. Zheng Tianlin felt like he had fallen into the abyss. His whole body was cold and he lost control of his body in an instant. He didn't come back to his senses until Liu Yixuan left, and a bit of fear appeared in his eyes.
What a scary little guy!
Liu Yixuan was just about to take a rest when he returned to his room and Gu Yue and Xu Xiaoyan came over. The two girls excitedly took Liu Yixuan to go shopping. When Ling Shiqi found out, she also joined in. Then the four of them went to the commercial street and snack street of Tianhai City and made some big purchases while also tasting the local specialties.
……
The next day, the opening ceremony of the Tianhai Alliance Competition was beginning at the Tianhai Stadium.
Tianhai Gymnasium is a huge stadium that can accommodate 80,000 people at the same time. It is also the largest among all the cities in the Tianhai Alliance.
The Tianhai Alliance Competition is the biggest event for the East China Sea Economic Circle and will also attract the attention of the entire Federation. Every year, some extremely outstanding talents emerge from the competition.
However, the original intention of the Tianhai Alliance Competition was to select outstanding talents for the Tianhai Alliance and train them to become the pillars of the alliance.
There are many political parties within the federation, and the Tianhai Alliance itself is a very powerful force, especially in terms of economy. It can be regarded as one of the giants in the alliance.
However, what makes the Tianhai Alliance very depressed is that although their economy has improved, their foundation in spirit masters, mechas, and battle armors is very poor, and it will take more than one or two days to improve these. In contrast, many large cities in the inland have large families that have been passed down for thousands of years or even tens of thousands of years. The talents in these families have been cultivated through many years of experience, with strong foundations and deep roots, which are simply not comparable to the Tianhai Alliance.
Therefore, in terms of talent, the Tianhai Alliance has always been the most scarce, so much so that they have always lagged behind the inland in terms of some key talents.
In the eyes of inland areas and even some senior officials in the Federation, the Tianhai Alliance is just an economic import destination. As for other aspects, it is not outstanding. Therefore, the status of the Tianhai Alliance has always hovered in the middle of the Federation.
Naturally, the leaders of the Tianhai Alliance were unwilling to accept this.
About two hundred years ago, they founded the Tianhai Alliance Competition to select and encourage talents. Not only are the prizes generous, but they also provide some special prizes to help these talents improve and further their studies, thereby better enhancing the foundation of the Tianhai Alliance.
Early in the morning, teams representing various cities had already entered the stadium and were waiting.
At a glance, the stadium at Nuo University was crowded with people, and the stands were already filled with people.
Liu Yixuan and others also came over, they came to watch the fun.
After listening to the leaders above speaking a few words and then some soul masters performing some performances, the opening ceremony ended.
The next step is to draw lots according to different competition methods. This is what Wu Changkong has to do and has nothing to do with Liu Yixuan and others.
At this time, a high platform had been quickly built in the gymnasium.
Because people from Shrek Academy will come here later to compete with the champion of the previous generation of Tianhai Alliance's seven-man tournament, so that everyone can see the gap between themselves and Shrek Academy, as a motivation.
The Tianhai Alliance also spent a lot of money on this competition.
However, Liu Yixuan and others were not optimistic and felt that the Tianhai Alliance was just looking for trouble.
This was indeed the case. The champions of the last seven-man tournament of the Tianhai Alliance came on stage in style. They had participated in the seven-man tournament in the youth category last time. Now they were all over twenty years old and even stronger. However, these seven people lasted less than a minute before they were slaughtered by seven Shrek students who were under the age of fifteen. They were simply a bunch of trash.
The game ended too quickly. Everyone was confused and had no time to react before the Tianhai League's youth group champion had already fallen.
Liu Yixuan even suspected that the Tianhai Alliance wanted to please Shrek Academy and deliberately brought a bunch of trash to be slaughtered.
In fact, they really didn't. The Tianhai Alliance officials took their own poor performance into consideration and deliberately chose a cross-age competition. However, they still got beaten. This severely hit everyone's confidence, which was something no one wanted to see.
Of course, Liu Yixuan didn’t care much about these things. After the game was over, he took Gu Yue, Ling Shiqi and Xu Xiaoyan to have lunch.
At night, Tianhai City becomes more lively, with shining neon lights and bustling crowds everywhere, especially places with delicious food and wine.
Liu Yixuan took the three Gu Yue girls shopping for food. Not long after, they ran into Tang Wulin, who was sitting opposite a little fat man.
Seeing this scene, Liu Yixuan suddenly remembered something and immediately came over and greeted him: "Wulin, you are here too?"
Seeing Liu Yixuan with three beautiful girls, Tang Wulin was full of envy: "Boss, Gu Yue, Shi Qi, Xiao Yan, are you guys out for a meal too? Do you want to join us?"
Hearing this, Liu Yixuan nodded immediately, then pulled the three Gu Yue girls to sit down at the dining table, and then ordered a bunch of Tianhai City delicacies.
Tang Wulin pointed at the fat boy opposite him and introduced him to Liu Yixuan: "His name is Xu Lizhi, he is a student of Shrek Academy, and he was on stage today."
"Xu Lizhi, these are my classmates, Liu Yixuan, Gu Yue, Ling Shiqi, Xu Xiaoyan..."
"I know."
Hearing this, Liu Yixuan smiled slightly and said, "You are quite impressive to be able to represent Shrek in the competition at such a young age."
Hearing this, Xu Lizhi raised his head and said shyly: "Thank you for the compliment!"
"Our strength in Shrek Academy is actually very average, but the soul masters on the Tianhai Alliance side are too weak."
