Chapter 155: Gathering of the Tribes
This magically created estate was vast beyond measure.
Surrounded by mountains and water, with flowers blooming year-round.
The air was fresh, and the environment serene.
The moon hanging in the sky illuminated the entire magical estate with clarity.
It was as if the estate was draped in a layer of silver gauze.
With the buildings reflecting the ancient architectural style of Longguo Country, even those from various tribes or other affiliated nations couldn't help but be awestruck.
Tonight's banquet was held in a place within the estate called "Shenlong Hotel."
It is said that Shenlong Hotel is usually used by the high-ranking officials of Longguo Country to entertain foreign guests.
Now, it was chosen as the venue for the gathering and exchange of the top young talents, showing how much the Longguo Country officials valued the national championship.
"This banquet is designed for you young people to interact freely without any media interference. We, the deans and teachers, will gather in the side hall."
"Oh, by the way..."
Dean Liu Boming smiled at Qin Fan and said, "Try to keep your three little ones inside to avoid causing a commotion."
Dean Liu Boming was mainly concerned that the three mischievous little dragon cubs might act up and use their breath attacks on the other talents.
Of course...
Qin Fan’s strongest trump card should not be revealed too early.
"Got it, I'll try."
Qin Fan nodded.
"Alright, go on in."
Liu Boming smiled and nodded, reassured by Qin Fan's promise.
......
Shenlong Hotel.
In the top-floor hall.
The grand and spacious main banquet hall had already welcomed many figures.
Without a doubt, these figures were naturally the young talents from various affiliated countries and tribes.
Of course, there were also top talents from the top 10 schools and those nurtured by various hidden families.
The top 10 schools are...
Fengtian Academy.
Dongling Academy.
Shengchuan Academy.
Yaoxing Academy.
Nanyun Academy.
Xuanyang Academy.
Qixing Academy.
Bingling Academy.
Tianwu Academy.
Qixing Academy.
Originally, Bingling Academy was ranked fifteenth.
But it is said that recently, the principal of Bingling Academy, a four-turn female mage known as the "Ice Queen," single-handedly fought against five demon lords at the rift frontline.
Although she had to retreat due to being outmatched by the combined forces of the five demon lords, one of them was severely injured by her and would be in a decades-long slumber to recover.
The key point is...
This 32-year-old, newly appointed principal of Bingling Academy only sustained minor injuries in the battle.
Speaking of the rift, one cannot ignore a race: the demons.
The demons live in the world on the other side of the rift.
And the demon lords are among the strongest combatants of their race.
A demon lord's strength is equivalent to that of two four-turn humans.
Thanks to the Ice Queen's outstanding contributions in this battle, the Longguo army avoided a major loss.
Finally, the ranking of Bingling Academy was exceptionally promoted, and the state began to favor the academy in educational resources.
Additionally, the talented Lin Qiuling, who defeated Bai Wushuang, Luo Hao, and Xu Niannian, had become the sole disciple of the Ice Queen.
At present.
The various figures, not yet familiar with each other, mostly stood with their companions, forming distinct social circles.
While observing each other, they conversed with their companions, sharing information.
"Wow..."
"Those Silvermoon Elves are really eye-catching..."
"Each one is so handsome and beautiful."
The most attention-grabbing group in the hall was undoubtedly the Silvermoon Elves from the Silvermoon Forest.
These Silvermoon Elves had silvery hair that shimmered like silk in the moonlight, with flawless features.
Xu Niannian also had half Silvermoon Elf blood.
Her family moved out of the Silvermoon Forest decades ago for certain reasons.
Her father fell in love with a human woman, which led to her birth.
However, her family was considered ordinary in the Silvermoon Forest.
At the moment.
These attractive elves, facing the gazes of various onlookers, held their heads high, their expressions filled with a sense of superiority.
It seemed like they were proudly showcasing their excellent genes and bloodlines.
"Our Longguo Country has seven affiliated nations."
"They've all arrived..."
Besides the Silvermoon Elves, there were Dwarves, Giants, Orcs, Half-Orcs, Vampires, and even the Demon Race.
Yes, you heard it right.
The Demon Race.
When demons are mentioned, the first thing that comes to mind is succubi.
Some might wonder.
Aren't succubi monsters?
After all, Qin Fan had previously conquered a succubus nest.
It should be noted that...
The Demon Race is not monsters but "humans with demon blood."
Their full name should be "Half-Demon Race."
For convenience, they are directly referred to as the Demon Race.
Among humans.
Except for Nanyun Academy, which primarily trains in secondary professions, the top talents from the other nine top academies were entering the venue.
"Have you all heard the news?"
"Heard what?"
"The incident with Fengtian Academy’s roster... They say they're sending a freshman as the fifth seed for the individual competition."
"What? Is that true? I thought it was just a gimmick!"
"What else? Until now, the Fengtian Academy’s official list still includes that freshman named Qin Fan, besides replacing Shi Tianyou with the Dragon Princess Anna..."
With this statement.
The various circles, initially whispering, fell silent.
And they instinctively turned to the Xuanyang Academy contestant who mentioned it.
Each race has its own language.
The reason they could understand each other was because everyone would spend 10 skill points to learn "Language Proficiency," a D-level universal skill.
This is a compulsory universal skill for all vocational students in high school.
Once learned, its passive effect allows understanding of all racial languages.
When the young talents of various races in the hall heard the discussion about Fengtian Academy, they couldn’t help but fall silent.
After all, the recent online debate about Fengtian Academy had been heated.
Even these participating young talents couldn't help but pay attention.
"Fengtian Academy really let that freshman participate..."
"Are they looking down on us?"
"In my opinion, the dean of Fengtian Academy must be out of his mind! Their performance last year wasn't good, and now they're doing this. They might not even make the top four!"
"A top school like Fengtian Academy couldn't find anyone else and had to resort to a freshman to fill the spot?"
