Quite a number of students were talking loudly about the Heaven Dragon War Drum, which only served to further enliven the crowd.
Immediately, everyone started rushing towards the Central Battle Arena, which was only used for important events, or for the meetings of the entire institution.
It was a huge place, built from materials unknown to some Legendary in the past.
No matter what kind of battle took place inside, the arena itself would never suffer any kind of damage.
TIO BU KI had been studying at the institute for some time now, but had only heard about the Central Battle Arena, and had never been inside.
Now, he was following a wave of people to the center of the institute, where the war drums were beaten.
There, amidst the various ancient temples and castles, an enormous pillar of light appeared,
then it slowly collapsed, revealing an enormous arena,
complete with a battle platform and a grandstand wide enough to accommodate millions of spectators.
Soon, crowds flocked to the arena from the east, south, west, and north.
TIO BU KI had never seen so many people gathered in one place. The highest level of the stands was sealed, though,
so it was impossible to see who occupied them. However, from the aura coming out of them, it was obvious that powerful experts were sitting there.
That seating area was clearly reserved for Legendary.
It was easy to identify the students who formed the sea of people.
The people from the True Dragon Institute wore clothes embroidered with five-clawed golden heavenly dragons.
Students from the Sun Moon Institute wore sun and moon sigils on their clothes.
Demi-Immortal Institute students wore the word 'half immortal' on their robes,
and the people from the Sea God Institute were wearing blue clothes that seemed to ripple like water.
There are other random outfits that identify experts from other organizations.
Many strong groups across the country were invited to attend the competition,
and allowed to send both leaders and lower level disciples to observe and study.
There were so many people present that anyone who was among the crowd had to struggle to avoid being overwhelmed at all.
Too many people! In fact, the entire city of Yanhaven was almost nothing compared to this crowd.
If you describe Yanhaven as a goldfish, then this crowd will be a Whale.
Suddenly, a voicemail was sent to TIO BU KI through his identity medal.
"The elite student of the Demi-Immortal Institute: the time has come to gather at the designated place. Follow orders and don't wander!"
In addition to the message that the institute elders had just transmitted, there were also energy pathways to follow.
TIO BU KI started following his way through the crowd as he searched for the designated meeting place.
Before long, he found a location where the elite students began to gather.
They all kept silent as they sat there, trying to build up their last accumulation of power to use in the upcoming battle.
After all, this was a huge competition, one that had to be taken very seriously.
It was the perfect place to build one's reputation, and earn great rewards from one's institute.
"Girls, you are an elite student of the Demi-Immortal Institute.
Soon, you will be fighting with students of the same rank from other institutes.
This is an opportunity where you have the chance to win unprecedented glory.
Big prize. Defeat one opponent, and you will gain a thousand merit points.
Defeat two opponents, get two thousand. Three opponents is worth four thousand. Four opponents is worth eight thousand. And next .
Any elite student who could defeat a conclave student from another institute would win an even more unimaginable amount of achievement points!
The eyes of the elite students had already shone with incredible brightness at the interesting thought of winning so many merit points.
After all, achievement points were the key to everything in the Demi-Immortal Institute.
You can even spend merit points to have the chancellor of the institution, the Great Sage, personally increase your cultivation base.
Of course, it would cost a lot of points to purchase such benefits. In general, even sacred neophytes could not afford it.
'Excellent!' Thought TIO BU KI. "I never thought that the institute would be willing to give so many merit points!"
Up until now, he had never needed to worry too much about achievement points.
After all, the Hell Destroying Godmammoth Power did not require ordinary cultivation resources.
And the resources he needed were not the type that could be bought with achievement points.
Moreover, if he really needed to, he could only hunt demons and then directly eat their demon cores.
And if he were to hand over the monsters he had killed, which were the equivalent of Nonese Lifeseizers,
it would cause a huge uproar at the institute, and would attract unwanted attention.
But now, he had a chance to win some merit points in a way that was completely above the board.
