Chapter 114: Battle against Pearl Academy
"Is this the Imperial Capital Academy? It looks similar to our academy, and doesn't seem to be anything special."

Director Guo glanced at the students behind him and said, "This is the best school in Shenzhou. The students and teachers here are amazing. Every year in the exchange student competition of magic schools, all schools pray that they will not be selected to be the Imperial Capital School."

"Because the Imperial Capital Academy has always been winning and has never lost!"

"If it wasn't for An Yuan, do you think Dean Chi would have taken the initiative to challenge the Imperial Capital Academy? To put it bluntly, our Hangzhou City Academy is only at the bottom of the list among the top academies. A few years ago, we were drawn to compete with the Imperial Capital Academy, but we didn't even make it to the finals and were eliminated in the semi-finals."

Lu Shizheng smiled confidently, "Don't worry, Director Guo, we will win this time. Even without An Yuan, we have a high chance of winning. With An Yuan as a guarantee, how can we lose?"

"Haha, the students of your institution are really interesting."

Teacher Lu is the teacher in charge of reception at the Imperial Capital Academy. Hearing Lu Shizheng's words, he couldn't help but laugh:

"Director Guo, I heard from the dean that you are the ones who came here to be bullied. Sigh, it's getting harder and harder to survive these days. All the schools are avoiding us. We need more stubborn schools like you to promote the prestige of our Imperial Capital School!"

Director Guo showed an expression of watching a good show, "Ah, yes, yes, carry forward the prestige of the Imperial Capital University!"

Teacher Lu looked at him doubtfully, then noticed that all the students behind him were full of confidence, and locked his eyes on An Yuan:
"You are the An Yuan in the legendary 'Northern River Map, Southern An Yuan', right? Hehe, instead of ruling the south, you insist on coming to our Central Plains. I admire your courage. Come on, I'll take you to the dormitory and the competition will begin right away."

Teacher Lu smiled hypocritically, already wanting to see the Hangzhou Academy’s self-confidence collapse.

Stupid Hangzhou Academy! If it was last year and you had produced a talented person, you might have had a chance to win. But this year, we at the Imperial Capital Academy have Mu Ningxue, so we are sure to win!

What Beijiang Tunan'anyuan, they are nothing but trash in front of Mu Ningxue!

……

"What? Why don't you let us fight the Imperial Academy?"

When he arrived at the fighting hall and saw the list of opponents handed over by Teacher Lu, Director Guo frowned.

An Yuan glanced at it.

【Hangzhou University vs. Pearl University】

[Imperial Capital Academy vs. Nanmu Academy]

【…】

【…】

“Uncle Guo, the imperial capital must be afraid and wants us to fight with Mingzhu Academy first to get our information.”

The competition list was determined by the Imperial Capital Academy, and letting the Pearl Academy compete with the Hangzhou Academy first was obviously a cautious strategy.

After all, this year Hangzhou University has bucked its usual practice and proactively requested a challenge, with the famous An Yuan in charge. Even if the Imperial University is proud, it will not be blindly arrogant. It would be just right to arrange for Mingzhu University to test the waters first.

Originally, the biggest enemy of the Imperial Capital Academy was the Pearl Academy, but the Hangzhou Academy emerged as a dark horse, which was a good opportunity for the fisherman to benefit from the conflict between the two.

"Tsk, how ridiculous! Does our Imperial Capital Academy need to waste a bunch of you country bumpkins? You are unworthy of challenging us. Find out who is the strongest first, and then we will fight you!"

A sturdy man taunted.

Song Xuanfei sneered, "Where is the dog barking? The dogs raised in the Imperial Capital Academy are really fat. They must eat a lot of food on weekdays."

Director Guo coughed lightly, interrupting Xu Dalong's angry words, and gave Song Xuanfei a thumbs up, "Xuanfei, stop it."

Teacher Lu also grabbed Xu Dalong and said, "Alright, let's see what's going on later. Let them be arrogant for a while."

"No way, the Imperial Capital Academy is scared? Hahaha!"

Next to them, someone wearing the uniform of the Pearl Academy walked over, a fat man laughed wildly, and the words he shouted made everyone look over.

Luo Song had a grudge against Xu Dalong, and when he saw him being humiliated, he immediately mocked him crazily.

Liao Mingxuan from the Imperial Capital Academy said angrily, "Who did I think it was? It turned out to be Luo Song who ran away to the Pearl Academy in disgrace. How dare you come back?"

The Imperial Capital Academy and the Pearl Academy started quarreling again. The teachers from both sides tried to stop them, but their efforts were weak and there was a lot of tension between them. In the end, the people from the Imperial Capital Academy left in anger, shouting that they would teach the Pearl Academy a lesson.

The only one left was Hangzhou University, which was staring at Mingzhu University.

Luo Song snorted coldly, "I will defeat you later, and then defeat the Imperial Capital Academy!"

An Yuan shrugged, "Come on then."

He looked at the people in Mingzhu Academy.

A cold-faced woman looked at him with a fierce fighting spirit. If nothing unexpected happened, she should be Mu Nujiao from the Mu family in Mo Du.

A handsome blond man, he should be Zhao Manyan, the youngest son of the Zhao family's head.

No Mo Fan?
An Yuan withdrew his gaze and did not pay attention to others.

At the Imperial Capital Academy, he did not see the white-haired woman Mu Ningxue, nor did he see anyone worthy of his attention.

……

Pearl Academy.

Mo Fan arrived late and asked Mu Nujiao:
"how's it going?"

"We're going to attack Hangzhou Academy."

"Hmm? Not the imperial capital?"

Mu Nujiao's eyes were solemn, "Hangzhou's academy should not be underestimated."

Mo Fan was surprised, "No way, isn't Hangzhou City's school a low-ranking one?"

Zhao Manyan: "Mo Fan, I really admire you. How can you always say such pretentious things without thinking? Hangzhou University is the lowest among the top universities, right?"

"Oh, that's what I mean. Should we still be afraid of them?"

Zhao Manyan was used to Mo Fan's ignorance, but he still couldn't help but cover his forehead, "Brother, don't you watch the news? An Yuan is in Hangzhou University!"

Mo Fan was puzzled, "An Yuan?"

Mu Nujiao's eyes were filled with fighting spirit. She pointed to the front of the Hangzhou Academy team and the man who was looking at them:

"That's the handsome guy sitting next to the teacher, An Yuan from the Beijiangtu Nan An Yuan. He is known as the most outstanding genius in the south. I heard that he has led his classmates to clear out the monsters in the dangerous world many times. He is an extremely outstanding tactical talent."

"After hearing about him, Ai Jiangtu in the north gave him a very high evaluation and tried to lead a team to defeat the demons, and successfully won several victories. After this incident, some students also tried, but suffered heavy losses. Many schools have issued clear bans on students from privately organizing large forces to go deep into the dangerous world."

"In Hangzhou Academy, An Yuan is a man who is regarded as a god."

"So awesome? The number one genius in the South, how come I haven't heard of him?"

Mo Fan was eager to try, "If I beat him, can I immediately become the number one genius in the South?"

Zhao Manyan rolled his eyes. "Stop talking. Who made you so late? The roster for the first game has already been decided! Me, Shen Mingxiao, Luo Song, and Peng Liang!"

"Ah? I see... I'm lost."

Mo Fan touched his nose and looked at the four people who walked out of Hangzhou Academy. "Hey, it seems that An Yuan didn't participate in the battle."

Mu Nujiao's eyes were filled with fighting spirit:
"Then we will definitely win the first round. Let's go out in the second round and deal with that An Yuan together!"
