Chapter 216 Tianlan 4 Yun vs. Guangteng 4 Gongzi (1)
This "friendly match" was held by the department. That is, it was divided into three groups, the university department, the research department, and the erudition department. Students competed first, and then teachers. For the major forces and families, the competition between students was more interesting than the competition between teachers. There might be their own core children here, and they took this opportunity to let other families see the strength of their young generation. There were also many parents who wanted to let their children see the level of others, and not to be arrogant. At the same time, they also wanted to collect talents. If they met some top-notch people but no family background, they could try to win them over and try to include them in their own camp. However, because most of the "four high schools" were children of nobles, the people they wanted to find were very few, and they were rare.
In the "four high" institutions, each department has the best students, who are talked about by people inside and outside the school. For example, the "Three Clouds of Tianlan" in the original undergraduate department of Tianlan (later Yun Bai was added, becoming the "Four Clouds of Tianlan, and except Yun Bai, the other three have now been promoted to the Research Department), the "Three Heroes of Tianlan" in the Research Department, the "Six Heroes of Tianlan" in the Erudition Department, etc., and the other three institutions also have their own "genius teams".
The most typical ones should be the "Hongdao Eight Strongest" of the Research and Study Department of Hongdao Academy, and the most famous are the "Guangteng Four Young Masters" of the Research and Study Department of Guangteng Mingyuan. Xiao Wenyi is the "Young Master Xiao" among the Four Young Masters of Guangteng.
Of course, in addition to the top students ranked by their abilities, each school must also have a "flower list" of school beauties, such as the "Five Beauties of Tianlan", "Seven Fairies of Guangteng", etc., which are simply a cluster of flowers with many varieties, and the number is much higher than that of the "real talents".
This time, the top students from each academy competed with the most attention and expectations, such as the "Three Clouds of Tianlan" (Yun Bai is still not as well-known as the other three, and many people still ignore Yun Bai's existence, even many civilians are no exception) vs. the Four Young Masters of Guangteng and the "Eight Strongest of Hongdao" - Dongsheng Academy is mysterious and solitary, so there is no team, only strong individuals. For example, the Little Calligraphy Saint Mo Ziqian, the Bookworm Xu Ji, the Dan King Li Kun, the Fu Jing Xu Mingming, etc.
Many people have already opened gambling games to add to the fun, and everyone has placed their bets on the schools or students they like. For example, in the alchemy, Li Kun, Mu Yun and Xiao Wenyi have the highest popularity; in the talisman formation, Xu Mingming is the leader, even Ling Yun can't reach him; Mo Yun, who specializes in spiritual tools, is the most famous; and in the spiritual plant, Jiao Yang, one of the newly promoted four young masters of Guangteng (because one of the original four young masters has graduated from Guangteng Mingyuan), Guo Xiangfeng and Sun Kaixuan, who are among the top eight in Hongdao, are the most favored. Yun Bai is also on the list, but because according to the information released to the public, she is still a fourth-grade spiritual plant master, and she is also the youngest and has entered the spiritual plant for the shortest time, so not many people are optimistic about her - correspondingly, her odds are quite high.
Tianlan followed the example of Hongdao Academy in the early years, so it has always regarded the other party as the "big brother". The two usually have a relatively friendly relationship, and the students are also relatively friendly. However, Tianlan and Guangteng Mingyuan had some grievances at the beginning of the school. Tianlan was almost strangled in the cradle by Guangteng Mingyuan, so this grudge has lasted until now. Dongsheng Academy has always been the most peaceful and fresh one. It is not too close to anyone but will not easily make enemies. For this reason, in this contest, the sparks between Tianlan and Guangteng Mingyuan are the most intense. As time goes by, the hatred between the two has long been known to the streets, so everyone is waiting to see the show...
"The focus of the competition now falls on the contest between the three clouds of Tianlan - oh no, it is the contest between the four clouds and the four young masters of Guangteng. Yesterday, I looked at the bets and odds announced by Guixiang Casino. Guess what, the most people participated in the bet between these two, nearly 70,000! Among them, the game between Mu Yun and Xiao Wenyi accounted for nearly 40%, and the total amount of bets is estimated to have exceeded 10 million! The game with the least attention is Yun Bai and Jiao Yang. Although Jiao Yang is in the undergraduate department, he should have been promoted to the research department a long time ago. It's just that he went out for training and was in seclusion all year round, so he has been delayed until now and has not graduated from the undergraduate department. Jiao Yang didn't even participate in the last inter-school league. However, I heard that he is close to the level of a sixth-grade spiritual plant master. Although Yun Bai is very talented, he is too young, has been in the Tao for too short a time, and is only a fourth-grade now, so the possibility of winning is too small." In the teahouse and wine shop, in the high-end private rooms, groups of three or five people were discussing the upcoming game. One of them was a very talented storyteller, and at this moment he was telling his friends about the strength analysis of students from the four top universities and the betting situation in the gambling house.
"I'm telling you, I've bet 100 low-grade spirit coins on Yun Bai's victory!" The other person was obviously drunk, and he excitedly told everyone about his choice. However, he didn't say the second half of the sentence, which was that he also bet 1000 low-grade spirit coins on Mu Yun's victory, and bet 500 low-grade spirit coins on Jiao Yang's victory in the name of another person.
In the circle of nobles, gambling games were also held, but the stakes were ridiculously high, and were basically measured in spirit crystals, often hundreds or thousands, and often with priceless and precious objects such as spirit treasures as the prize. Nobles, no matter what they played, they had to be "luxurious". Among the participating students, except for Yun Bai and Xiao Hua, all were direct descendants of large families. In order to support their children and give them a good show, the elders of the families spent a lot of money, and a bet could easily cost millions of spirit coins, and some were even higher.
Only "common people" like Yunbai and Xiaohua had no backers, so their names seemed a little lonely and deserted in the gambling house's gambling bulletin board. However, Mr. Hua and Yuanye, who never gambled, went to the largest gambling house nearby and placed bets on Yunbai and Xiaohua. Although the amount was not high, the love for their daughters touched the two girls.
Thus, amidst the attention of the public and heated discussions on the streets, the first post-war "Four High" institutions of higher learning teaching achievement exchange competition, which had been suspended for nearly 550 years, was grandly opened in Arena No. of the World Alliance Headquarters!
To ensure fairness, the order of the competition was decided by drawing lots on the spot. The result was: on the first day, the research department; on the second day, the erudition department; on the third day, the university department. Starting from the fourth day, it was the competition between teachers, in the order of erudition department, university department, and research department. The order of the competition on each day was also decided by drawing lots. Because the venue was large enough, a total of twelve competitions, including magic pills, magic martial arts, magic plants, magic kitchens, magic talismans, Taoism, and soul skills, were held simultaneously.
No matter the audience present or those waiting to watch the live broadcast in front of the crystal screens, they all seemed very excited, because the bet they were most concerned about was actually going to take place today!
Liu Hui, deputy director of the Alliance Activities Department, served as the emcee of the competition. He was the type who spoke succinctly and introduced the rules of the competition in a few simple sentences. The crowd inside and outside the field became excited without any need for his exaggeration. With his deep voice, the competition officially began!
The four universities each sent three students from the research department to participate in the competition. Among them, one of the representatives of Tianlan was Mu Yun, and one of the representatives of Guangteng Mingyuan was Xiao Wenyi. Before the competition, Xiao Wenyi made a harsh statement, saying that this time he would definitely make Mu Yun lose to him under the attention of everyone, but Mu Yun just smiled and responded lightly: Good luck!
