Chapter 737 – A Battle for Fame
Chapter 737 – A Battle of Fame
With the addition of the formation, the power of each attack spell was strengthened by more than ten times.
The damage sustained by each attacking spell was also attenuated to one-tenth of its original value.
With such a powerful array enchantment, soon, Yi Lan and the others rushed the opponent’s formation to pieces and achieved their first victory.
With such an easy victory, Yi Lan was so shocked in his heart that he couldn’t help but look in the direction where Xu Chuniang was.
Could it be that School Master Xu wasn’t lying when he said that they were able to enter the top 100?
Soon, the first round of sparring ended, and the five teams under Xu Chuniang’s name all managed to make it out of the line.
Then came the second and third rounds ……
Until there were still one hundred and fifty teams left on the field, the five teams under Xu Chuniang’s name were still undefeated.
With such a record, it naturally attracted a lot of attention.
Surrounding Xu Chuniang, who had been living in seclusion and had performed so well on her first time participating in a real-world combat exercise, the school officials and students who were watching the battle around the school grounds were all whispering and discussing.
“Don’t look at her low cultivation, the formations laid out by those teams under her name are really something wonderful, for a moment, I couldn’t see through it, is it possible that it’s her self-created formation?”
“I’ve heard several of her sermons, this person’s attainments in formations are really not comparable to ordinary people.”
“However, Hokage Xu’s team will soon be facing off against Lord Qingfeng’s team, I wonder what the outcome will be?”
Senior Qingfeng was a veteran Earth ranked school official with an unrivaled and proud past record.
Not only were the onlookers not optimistic about Xu Chuniang, even Yi Lan, who was personally present at the battlefield, was unusually apprehensive when she witnessed the powerful enemy not far away.
This next battle was the key to whether or not she could make it into the top 100, and if she was up against someone else, she was confident that she would win.
But on the contrary, met Qingfeng Shangren ……
Right at this moment, Xu Chuniang, who was watching the battle from the stands, was once again approached by Xu Zisheng.
At this time, Xu Zisheng’s face was gloomy, and his tone was so cold that it could drip water.
“Hokage Xu, I advise you not to try to be strong, this battle against Shangren Qingfeng, you will definitely lose!
Lord Qingfeng is an existence you can’t afford to offend! If you persist, in the future, Heavenly God Academy will have no place for you to stand!”
Facing the ultimatum given by Xu Zisheng, Xu Chunniang smiled faintly.
“Brother Xu, you’re one step too late, this team of Lord Qingfeng’s has already lost.”
Xu Zisheng subconsciously looked towards the schoolyard, and then his face stiffened.
In just a few dozen breaths, the team under the name of Supreme Master Qingfeng had collapsed at the touch of a button, and the signs of defeat had already been revealed.
Xu Zisheng looked at Xu Chuniang once again, his eyes containing scorn, surprise, and hidden resentment.
“You have no idea what kind of existence the seven great lineages of the Human Race are, it’s easier for them to get rid of you than to pinch a mole cricket!”
Xu Chuniang’s face remained unchanged, but in her heart, she laughed coldly.
It was these greedy and corrupt so-called lineages that did whatever they could to suppress the scattered cultivators for their own selfish desires, making the situation of the human cultivators even more difficult.
“Anytime.”
Xu Zisheng looked at Xu Chuniang as if she were looking at a dead person and shook his head regretfully.
“Such a good talent for formation dao, it’s a pity.”
After this round, three teams under Xu Chuniang’s name had successfully advanced to become the top seventy-five of this practical exercise.
The other two teams had lost, but they still had a chance, competing for the final twenty-five spots in the loser’s bracket.
To have such an illustrious record on one’s first time leading a team, one could say that they had become famous in one battle. As the tournament progressed, Xu Chuniang’s famous team encountered more and more strong opponents.
Following Qingfeng Shangren, a number of reputable Harmonization Stage Earth-level Scholar Officials such as the Golden Lotus Holy Mother, the Red Light Cave Master, and the Dharma Mirror Realist had also been defeated by Xu Chuniang’s hands in succession.
Among these people, most of them were merging powers from the seven great clans.
Regarding the successive victories, Xu Chuniang was also somewhat skeptical.
Although the Nine Palace Thousand Illusion Formation had special features, for one thing, the level of understanding of the scholars varied, and for another, it was done in haste and without preparation.
Even if they were able to achieve something, it would not be such an amazing result.
Earth-level school officials were already figures standing at the tip of the Heavenly God Academy’s pyramid, but why, the team they had coached was so unbearable.
Were these Harmonized Great Powers not good at this in the first place, or did they have another agenda?
Meanwhile, in the surroundings of the schoolyard, the topics that revolved around Xu Chuniang were becoming more and more frequent.
The focus of the discussion was no longer on whether or not she could defeat the team under the name of that flavor powerhouse, but rather on what rank she could achieve.
Most of the students were impressed with Xu Chuniang.
However, there were a handful of well-informed officials who avoided talking about this topic.
They vaguely had a premonition that this Hokage Xu, who had a notable talent in the Dao of Formation, was going to be out of luck.
Her self-created formation, which had easily overpowered the Harmonization Stage powerhouses of the Seven Great Families, was tantamount to not giving face to the Seven Great Families.
Not giving face to the seven great families would be breaking the rules.
Since she had broken the rules, what other waves could she make in the academy?
In the end, in the countless gazes of different minds, this session of practical exercises came to an end.
Of the five teams under Xu Chuniang’s name, all of them made it into the top 100, with two of them breaking into the top ten, and one of them even winning the championship.
This result caused a complete sensation.
Skywatcher laughed wildly, “Hahahahaha, it’s really an easy win, girl Xu, hurry up and go up and pick your reward!”
Under the attention of all, Xu Chuniang stepped onto the stage and met the vaguely worried gaze of Old Man Zeng.
His lips moved slightly, but in the end, he only said, “Scholar Xu, please, according to the rules, you can pick a spirit object first.”
Xu Chuniang nodded slightly, her mood easing a little, it seemed that Zeng Lao was not from one of the Seven Great Families.
After she said a quick thank you to Elder Zeng, she chose the Purple Juniper Bamboo without hesitation.
After she included this purple-colored, faintly glowing Houtian Spiritual Treasure in the Small World, her heart was certain.
With the Purple Monarch Bamboo in hand, this Heavenly Divine Academy, after all, had not come in vain.
Following Xu Chuniang, the others went up to the stage in turn and claimed some rewards.
The five teams under Xu Chuniang’s command all made it into the top 100, and in addition to the Purple Monarch Bamboo, she also won four other high-grade spirit items, including one that was no less than the Purple Monarch Bamboo.
After receiving her prize, Xu Chuniang turned around to leave, but was called back by Elder Zeng.
“Scholar Xu, stay back.”
“Elder Zeng called me, is there something wrong?”
Elder Zeng nodded slightly, “The formation you used just now was quite marvelous, I would like to ask for a lesson, I wonder if I may?”
Xu Chuniang’s impression of Old Man Zeng was quite good, and nodded at his words, “If Old Man Zeng wants to ask, there’s nothing wrong with it.”
“In that case, I would also like to ask Scholar Xu to move over and come to my courtyard for a small talk.”
Xu Chuniang followed Zeng Lao, and as she left, she vaguely felt that there were several icy gazes that landed on her body.
