Chapter 280 Drawing Lots (Please subscribe, please collect, please vote for the monthly ticket and recommend the ticket)
“He who laughs last laughs best?”

Bao Lingyun's face was gloomy. How could he not hear the sarcasm in Su Mu's words?

"Just wait, I will beat you to death in the arena of the academy competition!"

Su Mu brushed his sleeves calmly and ignored its words.

"Impossible, he can't be just a high-level True Yuan Realm cultivator, the sword monument must be broken!"

Mo Xuesong's head was like a chicken coop, and he shouted loudly with a crazy look on his face.

Ever since Su Mu killed his demon pet, he has always regarded Su Mu as an imaginary enemy.

He always believed that Su Mu was already the Pacification Commissioner of the Taiping Division at such a young age, and was also one of the world's geniuses like him, so his cultivation level must be comparable to his.

In that case, it wouldn't be shameful for him to lose to Su Mu.

But now, Su Mu's realm is actually not as good as his.

How could Mo Xuesong, who was so proud in his heart, accept this?

"Mo Xuesong, there is no problem with the Sword Sect's sword monument."

One person said coldly.

He is Lu Pengju, a disciple of the Sword Sect.

"If you continue to talk nonsense, Lu's sword will be unsheathed."

"Lu Pengju, do you think I'm afraid of you?"

Mo Xuesong said angrily, "How could a high-level True Yuan Realm cultivator possibly kill my fourth-level monster pet?

Even you, Lu Pengju, can't do it! How dare you say there is no problem with the sword monument?"

"There is no problem with the sword monument."

Lu Pengju said coldly, "As for the fourth-level monster, I have indeed never killed one.

If you have a fourth-level monster pet, I wouldn't mind giving it a try."

The sword behind him hummed in its scabbard, as if it couldn't wait to be unsheathed.

Mo Xuesong snorted coldly. He did have a fourth-level monster, but that was his trump card, which he was going to use on Su Mu. How could he expose it now?
"If you can make it to the finals of the competition, you will have the chance to see my demon pet!"

Mo Xuesong said coldly.

"There is nothing wrong with the sword monument."

On the high platform, the instructor raised his voice and said, "If any student has any doubts, you may consider your own questions.

After the cultivation test is over, all students in the Transcendence Realm and True Essence Realm can participate in the academy competition.

The competition is divided into four groups, and one first place winner will be selected from each group to enter the final semi-finals.

The order of the competition is determined by drawing lots. The rules are simple: the winner advances and the loser is eliminated.

Except for not being able to use Xuanbing, there are no other restrictions."

…………

At the top of the mountain of Bailu Academy in Songjiang Prefecture, two figures stood in front of the window, listening to the noisy sounds coming from the square in the distance.

"My Lord, isn't this a bit too cruel?"

Zhu Jiuyuan, who looked even older, said with a worried look on his face, "With no restrictions like this, who knows how many people will die at the hands of the monsters in the Monster Court."

"cruel?"

A handsome man who looked to be no more than thirty years old with cold eyes said calmly, "Compared with a real battlefield, this is nothing?
Mr. Zhu, there is no time to let them grow up slowly. If they don't adapt to blood and fire as soon as possible, they will have to pay a greater price in the near future. "

This man was none other than Zhang Songtao, Marquis of Mingyi, one of the marquises of the Taiping Division.

Marquis Mingyi raised his head and looked in the direction of the Demon Court, his eyes flashing with solemnity, "You and I both know that the reason why the Demon Court agreed to negotiate with Daxuan is because the Saint of the Demon Court needs to buy time to break through.

Once its cultivation level breaks through, Daxuan will face a catastrophe.

Now I can barely fight it, but after it breaks through, I won't be its match.

No one in our Taiping Division can match it."

Zhu Jiuyuan's face instantly became older. He sighed, "What should I do?"

"there is always a solution to a problem."

Marquis Mingyi said calmly, "We can only do this much. Now it depends on whether they can grow up."

Zhu Jiuyuan looked in the direction of the square and bent his back even more.

He was afraid that Marquis Mingyi was trying to force the issue.

If the monsters from the Demon Court come out on top, wouldn't Daxuan's morale drop to freezing point?
He knew that the Taiping Division had high hopes for Su Mu, but Su Mu was too young. Could he really turn the tide once again?

…………

"Except for not being able to use Xuanbing, are there no other restrictions?"

Su Mu frowned slightly.

This is different from his original proposal.

The originally designed academy competition was based on competition, and many rules were designed to protect the safety of students.

If there are no restrictions, swords and knives will be blind and casualties will easily occur.

"Instructor Liu, if there are no restrictions, can I beat them to death?"

Bao Lingyun said with a grin.

"They can also beat you to death."

The instructor said coldly, "On the ring, unless one side admits defeat, life and death are at their own risk.

If you, the demon court, are afraid, you can withdraw from the competition now.

But as long as you don't withdraw, even if you are beaten to death in the ring, it's because you haven't mastered the skills yet. Do you want to use this as an excuse to cause trouble?"

"Afraid? This prince doesn't even know how to write the word afraid."

Bao Lingyun sneered, "There are many people who want to kill this prince. It depends on whether you have the ability to do so."

Its gaze swept across Su Mu, then glanced at Murong Gaozhuo, its eyes full of provocation.

"Someone above is trying to stir up trouble."

Dongfang Liuyun stood beside Su Mu and whispered, "This academy competition has instantly turned into a battlefield.

There are already many people among these people who are not on good terms with each other, so now they will take advantage of the opportunity to kill them, right? "

He was not afraid, but if he thought about it, he would know that with this kind of unrestricted rule, any human warrior who encountered the monsters in the demon court would definitely be in great danger.

"The academy is not under our jurisdiction. Since there is such a system, the court should have its own considerations."

Su Mu groaned, "We can't control too much, but if we encounter monsters from the Demon Court during the competition, don't hold back and be sure to kill them!"

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Su Mu's eyes.

There are benefits to having no restrictions.

If it was just a brief exchange, it would be difficult for him to kill Bao Lingyun in public.

The rules are like this now. Even if he kills Bao Lingyun in public, the Demon Court can't say anything.

If you are afraid of death, you shouldn't take part in the college competition.

"The drawing begins!"

Instructor Liu said loudly.

…………

A large box was moved to the square.

A round opening was made on the box, making it look like a lottery box.

The people in the square lined up to draw lots.

Dongfang Liuyun stared at the lottery box, and ripples seemed to appear on his pupil-less eyeballs.

"Bao Lingyun, the Thirteenth Prince of the Demon Court, Group A, No. 24."

he whispered.

“The Eighteenth Prince Niu Zhong, number seven in Group C.

Tushan Hanyu, Group B, No. 11.

Lu Hu, number three in Group B.

......"

Su Mu glanced at Dongfang Liuyun from the corner of his eye and praised him in his heart. If this skill was used in a casino, it would definitely be enough to kill everyone.

I don’t know what the Taixu was that Dongfang Liuyun had seen at the beginning, which actually gave him such a magical pair of eyes.

He can see many things that others cannot see.

Even the wooden planks couldn't block his view.

Su Mu also suspected that this guy could see through clothes. In his eyes, everyone might be running naked, but Dongfang Liuyun did not admit it.

In Dongfang Liuyun's words, his eyes are ineffective in seeing people. In his eyes, no matter whether they are men or women, they are just an outline.

Su Mu didn't believe him, but he had no evidence.

Anyway, Su Mu tried his best not to let Luo An Ning and Xiang Xiaoyuan appear in front of him. Even if they did, he would let them wear the Xuanbing inner armor.

After taking a closer look at the numbers in the hands of the monsters in the Monster Court, Dongfang Liuyun whispered, "I'm going to deal with Niu Zhong. Bao Lingyun is left to you. The remaining one is Group A, number 24, which is the fifth one from the left of the box."

Su Mu nodded and stepped forward.

Before he reached the lottery box, someone got there before him and reached out to take a number from the box.

"Group A, number twenty-four!"

The man simply opened the number in his hand and announced his own number.

The man was none other than the Sword Sect disciple, Lu Pengju.

Su Mu and Dongfang Liuyun both looked surprised.

Is there anyone who has intercepted this?

Lu Pengju held up the number, turned to look at Su Mu, and said lightly, "Su Zhenfu, thank you for letting me."

Su Mu was slightly startled, then he understood.

It was most likely that Lu Pengju heard the conversation between him and Dongfang Liuyun, otherwise it wouldn't be such a coincidence.

Su Mu laughed in silence and said calmly, "Since Brother Lu is interested, let's give it to Brother Lu."

Lu Pengju was not a talkative man. He nodded and walked off the stage.

Bao Lingyun looked at Lu Pengju from across the platform and grinned.

"The world's genius? That's perfect. It's too boring to kill the weak. I haven't killed any of Daxuan's geniuses yet. They must taste good."

Bao Lingyun opened his bloody mouth, licked his lips, and his eyes were full of cruelty and greed.

Lu Pengju also looked at Bao Lingyun. The long sword on his back trembled slightly and even made a low clanging sound.

Killing demons and eliminating evil is not the exclusive domain of the Taiping Division.

Disciples of the Sword Sect have always taken it as their responsibility to slay demons and eliminate evil.

He had long disliked the Thirteenth Prince of the Demon Court.

This time, he will use the blood of the Thirteenth Prince of the Demon Court to sacrifice the sword!
Seeing that number 24 in Group A was taken away by Lu Pengju, Su Mu simply walked straight to the podium and reached into the lottery box to take out a number.

If he can't fight against Bao Lingyun, then for him, it doesn't matter who he fights against.

If Bao Lingyun defeats Lu Pengju, he will definitely meet Bao Lingyun again in the final.

If Bao Lingyun lost to Lu Pengju, he would have less trouble.

In this case, it doesn’t matter what number you draw.

Holding the number, he returned to the stage and saw Dongfang Liuyun coming forward to draw the lot. Su Mu lowered his head and opened the number in his hand.

"Group B, number three."

This competition is divided into four groups, namely A, B, C, and D.

The person who draws the same number will be the opponent in the first round.

After the first round, half of the people will be eliminated.

Then a second draw will be held.

This process is repeated until each group has a champion, and the final four people will draw lots to compete against each other.

Number three in Group B is the demon detective Lu Hu from the Demon Court?
Su Mu thought of what Dongfang Liuyun had just told him, and subconsciously looked towards the Demon Court team opposite the platform.

Lu Hu is also an old acquaintance.

It was Lu Hu who went deep into Daxuan and proposed peace talks to Daxuan on behalf of the Demon Court.

It was also Lu Hu who accompanied the Daxuan delegation all the way to the Demon Court.

Lu Hu's strength cannot be considered strong, but it cannot be considered weak either.

It can't be too weak to be able to sneak into Daxuan and make it all the way to Daxuan's capital.

But what impressed Su Mu more was Lu Hu's flexibility.

It does not have any of the arrogance of monsters like Bao Lingyun. It bows when it should and submits when it should.

This is a very pragmatic monster.

Unexpectedly, his first opponent was Lu Hu.

It can only be considered that Lu Hu was unlucky.

Lu Hu noticed Su Mu's gaze and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

It looked at the number in its hand and began to murmur in its heart.

Could it be——

Damn, what should I do if my opponent is really Su Mu?
When the Daxuan delegation went to the Demon Court, Lu Hu and Su Mu spent several months together day and night. It knew how terrifying Su Mu was better than any other monster in the Demon Court.

At that time, Su Mu was only in the rebirth stage.

Now Su Mu is in the True Yuan Realm, he must be ten times more terrifying than he was back then!
Moreover, Lu Hu has always suspected that Su Mu has a very powerful demon pet.

It was not sure how powerful the demon pet was.

But what is certain is that killing yourself is absolutely like playing.

Originally, Lu Hu was thinking about participating in the competition to hone his newly learned human martial arts.

But if the opponent is Su Mu, then there is no point in training, that would be suicide!

"Old Pig, how about we change numbers?"

Lu Hu whispered to a monster beside him.

"why?"

The monster with a pig's head was looking around. When it heard Lu Hu's words, it turned its head and asked curiously, "Why change the number? It's the same number. These humans are so weak anyway. You can kill several of them with one bite."

This pig demon is also one of the "international students" of the Demon Court. Its father is one of the generals of the Demon Court. He has a strong background and his own strength is also quite strong.

“According to Daxuan’s rules, the smaller the number, the higher the status. I feel that your number is not worthy of your strength. This number three is worthy of you.

My limited ability is not worthy of number three."

Lu Hu whispered.

"That's true."

The pig demon nodded in agreement, "Your strength is indeed no match for mine."

He casually handed the number in his hand to Lu Hu, then took Lu Hu's number with a smug look on his face.

Lu Hu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Group A, number 16. Can we avoid Su Mu now?"

Lu Hu said to himself.

Su Mu: "..."

Even without Dongfang Liuyun's eyes of insight, Su Mu saw Lu Hu's little movements.

This guy is too perceptive. I just glanced at it, and it actually found someone to change its number?

Is this a natural sensitivity to danger?

No wonder the Demon Court sent out so many demon detectives, but only Lu Hu made it to the Daxuanjing City.

This keen sense of crisis is truly rare.

But it doesn't matter. Even if it changes its number, unless it gives up, it will either be killed by someone else or meet Su Mu sooner or later.

Even if he could survive the academy competition, it was still uncertain whether he could leave Daxuan alive.
