Qinglian looked at Lingxiao and said, "Junior Brother Long, we all know that you defeated Senior Brother Tiangang in the Jiazi Competition of the God of War Academy. I didn't expect that you are so strong! But the top spot in the Hundred Academy Competition is not so easy to get!"
With the deliberate promotion of the disciples of Tianzhu Academy, the bet between the God of War Academy and Tianzhu Academy immediately spread throughout the Space-Time Academy, and Long Aotian became famous.
However, almost everyone was waiting to see the joke of Long Aotian and the Ares Academy. You have to know that among the many geniuses participating in the Hundred Academies Competition this time, there are more than twenty God King Realm powerhouses alone. Long Aotian, with only perfect cultivation in the Heavenly God Realm, was so arrogant that he said that the top spot belonged to him. Many people were laughing at him, waiting to see the Ares Academy lose face.
This was naturally something that Tianzhu Academy was happy to see, and even disciples from Dazhou Academy got involved. Ji Yuanlong hated Ling Xiao to the core, so naturally he took this opportunity to launch a massive attack on Ling Xiao. Before the Hundred Academy Competition even began, Ling Xiao's image had already become extremely bad.
"Junior Brother Long, we know that you are very strong and should have the combat power of the Divine King Realm! But in this Hundred Colleges Competition, there are too many geniuses in each college. It is too difficult to win the top spot. Junior Brother Long, you are still too impulsive!"
Fang Chong smiled bitterly.
Although his words were very tactful, it was obvious that he did not think Ling Xiao could take the top spot.
"Don't worry, I have confidence!"
Ling Xiao smiled faintly and didn't care about these rumors at all.
Since everyone is waiting to see him make a fool of himself, Ling Xiao will naturally give them a surprise during the Hundred Colleges Competition.
Qinglian said: "Brother Long, since you know what's going on, we won't say anything more! In fact, this Hundred Colleges Competition is still a showdown between our eight colleges. Although Jian Wangsun, Ji Yuanlong and King Kong have also broken through to the Divine King Realm, I believe they are no match for you! But you need to pay attention to four people!"
"Oh? Senior Sister Qinglian, please go ahead!" Ling Xiao asked.
"Although the Hundred Colleges Competition has not yet begun, there are four people who are the favorites to win. Many people say that the champion this time is likely to be one of them! The first one is Yuan Fei from the Heavenly Curse College. He has a cursed body and the cultivation base of the early stage of the Divine King Realm. His curse technique is superb and he can kill people without being seen. He is also the strongest person in the Heavenly Curse College!"
Qinglian said slowly.
"Cursed body?"
There was a strange look in Ling Xiao's eyes. He thought of Ye Liangchen's Holy Body of Doom. Although the Cursed Body was considered a powerful physique, it was probably far inferior to Ye Liangchen's Holy Body of Doom. He just wondered what kind of sparks would erupt between Yuan Fei if he met Ye Liangchen
Ling Xiao felt a little bit excited.
Seeing that Ling Xiao was distracted, Qing Lian continued, "The second one is Jin Xianzong from the Five Elements Academy. He possesses the Golden Saint Body, one of the innate Five Elements Saint Bodies. He is also at the early stage of the Divine King Realm. He is the strongest person in the Five Elements Academy. It is rumored that he has touched the true meaning of the Holy Way and is called a freak!
The third one is Shi Bufan from the Spacetime Academy. It is said that he has a trace of the power of the origin of time in his body, is proficient in the laws of time, and has reached the early stage of the Divine King Realm. More than ten Divine Kings and Demon Kings have died at his hands. This person is extremely powerful and is also a great rival of yours!"
Ling Xiao nodded. He had heard of these three people. They were indeed extremely powerful. However, as the peerless geniuses of Tianzhu Academy, Five Elements Academy and Space-Time Academy, it was understandable that they had such strength.
Moreover, Ling Xiao's trip to participate in the Hundred Academies Competition, in addition to entering the Void Saint Realm, the most important thing is to fight with the talented and powerful people in the God Realm and test the world with swords.
The stronger the opponent, the more it will naturally arouse his fighting spirit.
Qinglian said, "But the one you need to be most careful of is the fourth person, Duan Shuiliu, a disciple from a very small academy, Qingshan Academy. He is at the early stage of the Divine King Realm and does not have any special physique or bloodline, but he has an extraordinary comprehension and is extremely passionate about the Dao of the Sword. It is rumored that he has entered the Dao with the sword and participated in the true meaning of the Saint Dao, and his men have never left anyone alive!"
When Qinglian mentioned Duan Shuiliu, his eyes became slightly solemn.
She was practicing swordsmanship, and her sword heart was pure, with nothing else in her mind. Naturally, she knew the horror of such a pure swordsman.
Such people, although they do not have extraordinary talents and physiques, and their backgrounds are extremely ordinary, have an indomitable heart and have risen from obscurity. They are far more terrifying than those peerless geniuses who speak with a golden key.
There was a gleam of light in Ling Xiao's eyes, and he nodded slowly.
When Qinglian talked about the first three people, Lingxiao didn't care much, but the last one, Duan Shuiliu, aroused Lingxiao's great interest.
Speaking of which, Ling Xiao also rose from obscurity and walked step by step from the mortal world to where he is today. Naturally, he knows the hardships along the way.
Ling Xiao's physique is very ordinary. He does not have any innate holy body or powerful bloodline. The dragon blood in his body is inherited from Long Hanyan. Moreover, he has the current dragon bloodline because he swallowed the dragon blood several times.
The higher the realm of cultivation and the deeper the understanding of heaven and earth, the clearer Ling Xiao becomes that the most powerful thing about a warrior is not his weapon, martial arts, physique, bloodline, or birth, but his heart.
The stronger your heart is, the stronger your own strength will be.
There is a vast world in my heart, and everything in the world is in my heart.
There is a path to enlightenment in your heart.
Therefore, people like Duan Shuiliu are undoubtedly extremely terrifying and worthy of Ling Xiao's attention.
"Thank you, Senior Sister Qinglian, for telling me!"
Ling Xiao smiled at Qinglian and said, he knew that Qinglian and Fang Chong were also worried about him, so they collected this information and told him.
"Just know it in your heart! Your talent and ability are not inferior to any of them, but you have been practicing for too short a time. If you are given a few more years, after you break through to the Divine King Realm, I believe that none of them will be your opponent!"
Qinglian looked at Lingxiao and sighed softly.
Fang Chong also advised: "Junior Brother Long, it would be great if you can get the first place, but if you can't get it, don't force it! What we are fighting for is the future, the ten thousand years, and the future holy way. I hope you can stick to your original intention and not be defeated by setbacks!"
What Qinglian and Fang Chong were most worried about was that if Ling Xiao didn't get the top spot, he would be provoked by the people from Tianzhu Academy and his Taoism would be damaged from then on. That would be the most terrible thing.
"Senior Sister Qinglian, Senior Brother Fang, ten thousand years is too long, I only want to seize the day! I said that this time the top spot is mine, and no one can take it away from me!"
Ling Xiao smiled faintly, his eyes filled with strong self-confidence.
