The Legend of Zhi Long

22. Black Horse

Xinghou College, Main Field Area.

Many people fell silent as an old man who was about 60 years old walked onto the main stage to make a speech, he was the Xinghou College Headmaster.

He stood tall in front of the many spectators, they knew that his age might be old but his strength was still so great, he was the number one person in Kongzu City other than the City Lord.

"Today we will see the best prospective students in Xinghou College and Kongzu City, respectively, those who are best chosen to attend the Tea Banquet which will be held in Wei City which is the Capital of Jing Kingdom, the Tea Banquet itself is held by Emperor Fang the Lord of Jing Kingdom. Every five years the Tea Banquet was held in Jing Kingdom, the emperor would also hold his own tournament to fill the Banquet, besides those who showed the best ability would receive a prize from the Emperor. There will also be many other Kingdoms watching and attending this Tea Banquet, if you show your merits here we will also judge that. Therefore, show your own strength to be able to join the Tea Banquet with the Jing Empire Emperor, we will select the five candidates who will go to the Tea Banquet later. We hope you show your true self, put all your energy into it! All right, no need to be wide. The Xinghou College Semester Final Examination is open!!!". Finished saying so, the spectators cheered happily and applauded, all the stadiums became lively and bustling.

The Headmaster descended from the main stage towards the seat he had just occupied next to the City Lord, he also told Elder Gu to continue the event.

Elder Gu headed back to the main stage to start the event, the audience fell silent to listen to the rules.

"This year there will be no Written Examination, we will hold a live Practice Exam because it is our agreement with the Elders and Teachers, for you third-year students show your practice for these three years. This year the rules are the same as the previous year, the participants will be chosen from Level 1 to Level 5 Middle Planes, they will fight in the Main Field according to their Level. One by one will be chosen to show their own abilities according to the judges, each student of the same level will be matched entirely to leave 20 people, according to the jury, so the one who will fight in the second round is 100 people. These 100 people have been declared graduated from Xinghou College, they will be selected until the remaining five children, they will attend the Tea Banquet in the Capital later. The rest is up to you, what will you do". Elder Gu explained about the rules of his game, he did not explain about death so it meant that if anyone was killed it was a common thing in the martial World.

Finished saying about the rules, the spectators again cheered happily and applauded loudly, they were waiting for the Xinghou Academy students to show some moves from the results of their training so far.

"All right, just go ahead. First Half, the third year disciple who felt in the Middle Plane of Level 1 remained in place, the others please descend down". Elder Gu did not want to be around for long, so he immediately started the first round.

In this round the Level 1 Middle Plane will compete entirely and will leave only 20 students, in Level 1 alone there are about 150 people registered out of a total of 300 students in total.

The rest went down to look at the Tier 1 battles above, as the Main Field was vast so those below could see above it, the audience began to cheer the name of the person they supported from the bleachers.

"That's Hu Cao, the son of the Hu noble family. I heard that he is very strong, his family is also very respected throughout Kongzu City". The audience saw a boy who seemed like his son was arrogant and arrogant, he looked around with his arrogant eyes.

"I bet on Hu Cao...".

"I bet on Li Chung....".

"30 Gold Coins for Fu Ding.....".

The spectators began to place bets to choose their own heroes, they were sure of the person they chose because the lunge reached the entire city of Kongzu.

In the Main Field arena there was a child who was quiet without a sound, he was Du Ao indeed his person was quiet. In his own class he is not talented because he is always humbled by his classmates, he is not bound by any family, he is like a mysterious person who hides something from many people. Du Ao was in the late Tier 1 Middle Plane he was about to break through the next level, now he was looking into the spectator ranks his sharp eyes were staring at one by one the audience, he said, until his eyes stopped exactly in the direction of the audience who was sitting quietly wearing straw hats. From the looks of him like a person who was around 40 years old, that person was extremely mysterious.

After seeing Du Ao, the person responded and looked at Du Ao with a smile, then shook his head somehow.

Du Ao who saw that only nodded his head a sign he understood, what he should do.

"Alright, the first round of the Tier 1 Middle Plane is starting!!!". Elder Gu finally announced at the start of the first round of the Tier 1 Middle Plane.

The crowd cheered loudly once again in the company of a standing ovation, they would finally see a genius on the Level 1 Middle Plane of Xinghou College.

After hearing at the start of this first round, the disciples of the Tier 1 Middle Plane finally showed their abilities.

Under the Main Field disciples with Level 2 to Level 5 Middle Planes looked at the fight calmly, they wanted to see who would enter the second round later.

The entire disciple took out his respective Soul Qi, there were animal-shaped like monsters, demons even demons. There were also musical instruments, various forms of Soul Qi they took out to become winners, they did not want to stay in the College any longer so they expended all their abilities.

Elders and Teachers from the various School Factions were also in the main stage line to see their students' children, they were hoping for the person from their School Faction to be the winner.

Hu Cao himself from the Fire School Faction, those from the Fire School Faction did possess an arrogant and arrogant nature.

His own Soul Qi was the Fire Wing Tiger, he was a Witch with two elements of Fire and Wind. He was indeed talented, the Fire Wing Tiger was unleashed and charged forward towards the enemy before him swiftly.

The Enemy who was hit by the Fire Wings Tiger instantly became ashes after being doused in the hot flames from the Tiger's mouth, it was a great Skill.

Li Chung took out his Soul Qi which was a Bamboo Flute, he played the flute gently and calmly.

Tones were emitted from the flute that made the surrounding enemies ears become sick, they screamed in pain while covering their ears that started bleeding.

The stance also attracted a lot of audience attention, all amazed to see the flute play from Li Chung, the spectators who bet for him also felt good to see that.

Li Chung could control his tone as he wished, it was a rare talent.

Fu Ding from the Wind School Faction took out his Red Eye Bat as his Soul Qi, he was very famous for using the wind element.

The Red Eye bat opened its mouth to let out ultrasonic waves, all enemies who listened to the soundless waves were so sculpted. They seemed to lose their minds, their eyes bulging their mouths open until they let out foam, they seemed to have heard something intangible and it might be dangerous.

The rest of them exerted all of the moves to win the top 20 of the Tier 1 Middle Plane, they wanted to become winners and graduate from Xinghou College.

The elders from the Wind School Faction who saw Fu Ding were proud of the students he trained, they were satisfied with the results of his training all along.

"Destroy them all, Hu Cao. You're the greatest, teacher is proud of you!". One of the Elders who taught Hu Cao shouted to support his disciple, he showed his arrogance.

Hu Cao who heard that only laughed cynically, he was a cunning person. His Soul Qi supported his cunning, he started exerting all his profound energy to create pressure in the surrounding area and being exposed to this pressure would be difficult to move, he said, he directly ordered his Fire Wing Tiger to burn the charred that was exposed to pressure from him. What an unpleasant sight to see, very arrogant.

Many onlookers were looking at this in awe, those supporting Hu Cao felt very happy for betting on his great self.

On the other hand Du Ao was just silent on the spot, he did not make much movement. So people from the bleachers thought it never existed because he did not make a movement, they thought he gave up so he just stood there.

Instead, Elder Ye who saw Du Ao felt curious about him. "It looks like there is a disciple of 'that person' here, it would be very interesting nih" Elder Ye muttered to himself while looking at Du Ao's relaxed manner.

Zhi Long sharpened his eyes towards Du Ao who was standing quietly in the Main Square, "Shi Liang, who is he?". He asked Shi Liang about the person he was seeing right now.

"He is Du Ao, he is like you in his class. Very lazy and relaxed his life, until he was bullied just like you, he was also not as talented as you were before". Shi Liang replied with a condescension to Zhi Long.

"Oh yeah, just like me. It will be an interesting fight, Du Ao well his name, I will make him my friend later". Zhi Long felt like he saw his old self, he also said that would make him a friend.

Inside the Main Field Arena Du Ao was standing like a nail stuck in wood, it was extremely calm and peaceful.

"Hey, you. If you want to give up, get out of here! It's just people here who are ready to fight and want to graduate, you don't seem to understand the explanation of the speech from the Headmaster just now". The disciples approached Du Ao, they mocked him.

"Be quiet, I don't want to be disturbed". Du Ao replied briefly.

"What did you say??? You want to be killed here?? Don't blame us if we kill you now, the weak should know his own position!!". Shouted the many disciples who were angry at Du Ao's words offending them, they directly released their Soul Qi.

Their number was around 15 people with Soul Qi accompanying him, Du Ao felt cornered by it.

Du Ao finally showed his ability, he let out an aura with heavy pressure around him, those who attacked him so slowly his steps to walk closer to him.

The Qi of Soul was expended by Du Ao, it was the Lightning-Hairy Weasel. The weasel looks very fast and agile, though, Du Ao extended his hand forward and pressed down along with his Weasel who jumped up and down at high speed to resemble a lightning storm that surrounded the Weasel.

"Now, who's weak?". Du Ao asked with his cynical tone.

Quickly the thunderstorm hit his 15 enemies in front, those who were hit by the thunderstorm instantly scorched everything.

"I thought it would be interesting". Elder Ye and Zhi Long who saw the scene muttered to themselves.

The entire audience who saw the incident in front of him immediately gaped at his mouth, they were shocked to see the person who seemed to be about to give up and was weak turned out to be very strong.

Not only were the spectators stunned by the incident, the elders and teachers who taught Du Ao themselves were also shocked to see it. They did not expect, the person who had been bullied and demeaned his classmates was a talented and genius student.

"Is he from the Lightning School Faction?". Asked the Headmaster to the Elders of the Lightning School Faction.

"We don't know him, Principal...". Answer the Lightning School's Faction Elder.

Elder Gu himself also shook his head, he did not know Du Ao even from the Lightning School Faction.

"Who's the homeroom teacher?". Ask the Headmaster again to the Elders.

"He is Du Ao from Class 3 F, I'm his homeroom teacher". An Elder finally claimed to be his homeroom teacher.

"Chairman Song turns out to be your student, why don't you talk daritadi?". The Headmaster glanced at Elder Song, he was disappointed that his subordinates did not respond quickly.

"I'm sorry, Principal, I'm also surprised to see him. During class, Du Ao was lazy and relaxed, he was not like someone who wanted to graduate from the College. I didn't know she had this kind of great power, because her classmates were always bullying her so I thought there was no hope for her this year". Elder Song apologized to the Headmaster, he also explained Du Ao's personality in his class all along.

"Oh yeah, very interesting. I like this kid, he's not arrogant despite his great strength, it looks like Xinghou College has a Black Horse here". While rubbing his white beard, the Headmaster felt attracted to Du Ao.
