Chapter 218: Peace Before A Crisis 9

The three academy contest 1

/*unedited*/

A few days have passed…

Shin Jiao is currently preparing for the incoming three academy contest. These days, he has been staying in the library and finished recording the martial techniques in the books. He has learned a lot of things from them and began integrating that knowledge with Central.

He also helped Ai Ji with her current project in compiling data and information on hundreds and thousands of different medicinal plants. He knows that what she is doing would take a long time, but Ai Ji's determination to finish this was firm. She even denied participating in the three school competition as an alchemist even though her alchemical knowledge is already really high that even the teachers praised her. But just like Shin Jiao's character, her attention was focused on compiling more data.

The progress on their research with regards to the phone has also advanced a little and they have already started to build a few prototype towers in the city.

Though Shin Jiao can help them to advance it further, still he didn't want them to jump ahead. This would be too detrimental and would not give a stable foundation when more advanced technology would be introduced in the future.

…

The three academy competition is a regular competition of the three major academies in the great city of Wu. The Great Wu Academy or GWA, Ice Palace, and Helu Academy, these are the best academies which are situated in the great Wu city.

But many schools and academies are also included in this competition but they should ally themselves in one of the academies. So those schools from the other towns and within the cities are also included in this. But only 50 of the best students from each academy can enter this competition.

With a total of 150 students as participants, they are considered as the best of the best within the three academies and each of their allies.

At this moment, Shin Jiao has entered a huge open stadium. This stadium was built inside the Great city of Wu and can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people. Although the construct is a bit of a medieval-themed style yet it was strong enough to accommodate many people.

The stadium is almost full of people, and many of these people are the family members, classmates, and teachers of the participants.

As he turns his gaze around him, he could not help but sigh in wonder at the magnificent structure. Although it was not made of modern architecture, Shin Jiao can see the effort of the builders in constructing such an edifice.

The man standing on the stage is currently talking something and introducing the 3 academy competition and its rules, but Shin Jiao's mind is currently all over the place. This is because he was truly astonished at the effort given to the stadium. He could not help but scan the materials use for the foundation and etc.

Those students who noticed him jeered at his actions.

"Look at that person… he is like an ignorant fool."

"Don't bother him, he's just a villager."

"He looks decent though."

The people around Shin Jiao whispered as they mocked him for being too ignorant.

But he didn't want to bother with them as he discovers something interesting with the structure of the stadium. The stadium is actually not a whole building but a segmented building. And it is being held together by a huge formation array.

"This array can transform this building into something else. Hmm… interesting…" Shin Jiao thought as he curiously thought unaware of the gazes around him.

Then after a while, the man on the stage finished introducing and telling the instructions.

Every one of the students is already excited at this time for the competition to start. They have already prepared themselves for this opportunity to represent their own academy and bring honor for themselves and their family. From the start of them gaining the placement for their academy, they have practiced night and day only for this event.

The competition would be the five major types of occupations which are really popular in the cultivation land, alchemy, artifact crafting, martial arts, array formation, and war tactics. And the competition would be done simultaneously except for martial arts and war tactics.

As cultivators, Martial Arts and War Tactics would always be involved in making them stronger. Thought the others would support those two, but at the end of the day, one can only rely on his strength to be stronger and be able to transcend immortality.

"Alright, those that are included in the alchemy and crafting contest can go to their respective places. And those that would participate in the array formation contest need to go out of the stadium." The man in charge said with a loud amplified voice.

When the instruction was given, everyone began moving as they follow the personnel in charge of the event they are joining.

"Hmm… the martial arts competition would be held later this afternoon, then I won't be doing anything. I just need to watch other events then." Shin Jiao thought as he walks to the stand where the audiences are watching.

As he walks up the audience seat, he can clearly see the whole stadium and the bustling people on the whole audience seats. Shin Jiao didn't expect to see this many people inside and was a little taken aback. But since he is already in this place he has prepared himself to test out all the things he has learned from the library.

"Luckily I choose the martial arts events, as I see it, these students are still not proficient enough with their crafts." Shin Jiao said as he watches from his seat.

Although there's a huge distance from his seat to the participants, he can still see what's happening down below with the strength of his eyes and the use of the eyeglasses.

From the looks of it, though there are those students who are confident with their own skills, still he can see a mix of emotion in their eyes.

Then suddenly Shin Jiao saw three figures who seem to show dominance when it comes to formation array, alchemy, and crafting.

In the array formation, Shin Jiao noticed a familiar face, Fey Ouyang.

"I didn't expect that, that missy is an expert in arrays…" Shin Jiao muttered.

Although the event hasn't started yet, yet he can already tell who would win judging from the state of mind of the participants.

While Shin Jiao is watching the events down below, he didn't know that someone is looking at him from a private booth. That person is glaring at him with too much killing intent in his eyes.

Sai Wu is currently sitting down a private along with his father and older sister. Since he was kicked out of the academy for making such a ruckus his father became too displeased of him and declared that he should be staying by his side for the time being. He didn't want to lose face anymore after that accident.

Although they are a part of the royal family, the Great Wu academy principal didn't show them face and immediately kick out his son from the academy. Even the king warned him not to tolerate his son. As the king of the kingdom, he is aware of what's happening especially in the city. So he didn't want to tolerate his own nephew from committing these atrocities.

"If I can get the chance, I will kill you, you bastard. You will regret the day that  you opposed this prince and I will make you feel the humiliation that I have experienced a hundred times over." Sai Wu thought as he clenched his fist really hard.

Suddenly, he showed a stunned face as he noticed Shin Jiao turning towards his direction and flashed him a cold smile on his face.

"How… how can he sense me? This is impossible… this…" Sai Wu muttered which gained the attention of his older sister.

"What are you talking about?" a stern voice coming from the good looking woman sitting beside him asked.

"…"

"You better not think of anything else… you have caused us too much trouble and didn't even bother to save face for our father. If I were our father, I would strip your title as a prince and throw you in the army to the north. That way you would learn humility and prudence in your actions." The young woman said with a voice of scolding.

When Sai Wu heard this he suddenly felt a pang of anger in his heart. He did not expect that his father and sister would scold him and would not support him. Since young, he was taught by his older brother that royal families are above the rest of the people, but ever since his older brother lost in the war against the beast clan in the north their family status began to decline in the royal family.

In that war, they discovered that his older brother retreated when the beast-men attacked and shamelessly died while trying to plead for his own life. He even left his own troops which made the king angry. And so, from then on his father has fallen from the grace of his cousin the king.

Now the hope of their family is his older sister who has shown bravery on the battlefield, and even though she is just a young woman, she has gained the respect of many soldiers who made their family status regained its prestige.

So in the family, his older sister has the highest status which is equal to his father.

Even though he felt offended by his older sister's words, Sai Wu didn't have a choice but to obey her.

Yanyan Wu is only 2 years older than his brother, Sai Wu. She is an expert in war tactics, martial arts, and array formation. After graduating from the Great Wu academy, she immediately runs to the north to battle to restore the honor of their family. And there she began to build her own prestige and became well-known as one of the heroes of the war. She gained her prestige for saving countless lives in battle with the use of her own skills in the array and war tactics.. She then became one of the captains under the direction of the Li Yan Xi, the 2nd prince of the Xi Empire, which leads the army to defend the northern border of the cultivation land.
