The third day of the winter month was precisely the day of Fire-bathing Festival.
It was clearly the height of winter, yet the Phoenix City was as hot as the sun.
After eating breakfast, many people from Phoenix City began to rush towards the Phoenix Plaza in the center of the city.
Because the Fire-bathing Festival was held right at the Phoenix Plaza.
Ling Family were the same as well. After eating breakfast early, they rushed towards the Phoenix Plaza.
For this reason, even Tang Shiyun stopped teaching her children every morning.
"Young Master, I think we should prepare a car!" Mi Lai suggested to Ling Duoqing once again, "Look at all of us, how can we not have a car at such a distance? It's fine if you're an adult, but especially for a few little fellows, they can't walk such a long way."Also, Friendly will have to participate in the competition later. Isn't it exhausting for him to walk through there?
"Understood. The carriage is already in preparation. The coachman has already been found. There will be one soon." Ling Duoqing could only answer.
"Young Master, when did you make the arrangements? How come I didn't know?" Mi Lai asked.
"Didn't I go out that night? I arranged it at that time." Ling Duoqing explained, "As for Shan, let him pass and we can just keep him active. Only then will he be in his best condition."
He carried Ling Caiyun, Kong Yu, Soong Wentao, and Tang Shiyun in his arms.
As for the other three older children, they could only walk past them.
Today, the entire clan, including the guards, had set off for the Fire-bathing Festival.
Other than watching Ling Youshan's match, Fire-bathing Festival was also a very lively topic.
At noon, the family finally arrived at Phoenix Square.
From afar, one could see the Phoenix Plaza filled with people. As for the Phoenix Plaza, it had been arranged to be a sea of red.
According to the legends, the phoenix was reborn from the fire in the Phoenix Plaza.
Even though people were celebrating their Fire-bathing Festival, they couldn't really turn the Phoenix Plaza into a sea of fire. How can we celebrate?
In the center of Phoenix Plaza, there was a division of a stage.
Around the ring, a specially crafted torch had already been ignited. Even if a strong gust of wind blew on it, it wouldn't extinguish the flame. The blazing torches and the red square reflected each other like a sea of fire.
Ling Duoqing's family walked into Phoenix Square along with the crowd that was making a ruckus.
As the families of the members participating in the Fire-bathing Festival, they naturally had their own exclusive region at the front. Moreover, Ling Duoqing's identity was originally very special. As the mayor of the city, how could Yin Wujiu not take special care of him?
The people who were participating in Fire-bathing Festival from the other academies also arrived one after another. They were accompanied by their families, as they came to watch the competition.
The Fire-bathing Festival officially started just after noon.
The host of Fire-bathing Festival came out and told him about the origins of the Fire-bathing Festival, and also praised the Emperor of today, symbolizing the peace of the country. Then, he began to introduce the important people who were participating in the Fire-bathing Festival today.
When he introduced the important people participating in the Fire-bathing Festival today, Hee Jianbin's identity as a honored guest of the Royal Academy was shockingly, sitting on the stage. Besides Hee Jianbin, Zhen Badao also got a seat at the guest table. Because Zhen Badao originally had the identity of a logistics supervisor for Phoenix Academy, and with the power of Zhen Family, it wasn't hard for him to become a guest.
After introducing the guests participating in Fire-bathing Festival, the host invited Yin Wujiu out to speak.
As the mayor, Yin Wujiu came out to say some encouraging words, but nothing more.
When Yin Wujiu finished, he a ounced the official start of the Fire-bathing Festival Competition.
Other than the best Phoenix Academy, there were twelve other academies.
Although some of the academies weren't very famous, they still had a placing. There were thirteen academies in total. And each academy had three spots, for a total of thirty-nine people. Including the six people that were selected from the common folk, there were a total of forty-five people who would participate in the tournament with regards to Fire-bathing Festival.
"Now, all participants who are participating in the Fire-bathing Festival Competition, please come up onto the stage." The host ordered.
Hearing the host's voice, Ling Youshan turned around and said to Ling Duoqing, "Dad, I'm going up!"
"Go on, don't be nervous!" Ling Duoqing laughed.
"Big brother, get back first place!" Ling Wantine laughed.
Ling Youshan nodded heavily and said, "Yes!"
The forty-five contestants stood still on the arena, waiting for the referee's command. The referee was a Sea-accumulating Stage expert specially sent by Yin Wujiu. His name was Lin Yu, and he was Lin Chen's brother.
Lin Yu said: "The Fire-bathing Festival's rules are always the same, so I don't need to elaborate."Now, please send someone at Qi Disciple level 2 or higher out."
In the blink of an eye, thirty-six people walked out, leaving behind only nine people at the first level of Qi Cultivating Stage.
From this, it could be seen that there were many differences between the different academies.
One must know that Huang Lingshan and the others with Phoenix Academy were already at the seventh level of Qi Cultivating Stage. Even a normal talent would be at the Third Stage of Qi Disciple.
As for the other people who were sent by the other academies to participate in Fire-bathing Festival, even people at the first level of Qi Cultivating Stage had appeared.
However, when facing those at the 1st level of the Qi Cultivating Stage, many people didn't laugh at them. Some even revealed an envious expression.
No matter what, Qi Disciple level 1 was always on the path of cultivation, and many people would never be able to cultivate it in their entire lives!
Lin Yu shouted: "Now, the nine of you can choose anyone from the other party to challenge us. Those who win will stay to fight, and those who lose will leave."
The nine of them looked at the thirty-something opponents, selected their opponents, and began their challenges.
Those at the first level of Qi Cultivating Stage were all people from smaller academies and did not have much strength to begin with. Therefore, nine people were eliminated without exception, and none of them wasted any energy on those being challenged.
"Second round, send out those who are at Qi Disciple level 3 and above!" Lin Yu shouted.
Following Lin Yu's words, twenty people walked out.
The remaining sixteen people were naturally at the Second Stage of Qi Cultivating Stage.
"Old rules, you can challenge anyone one of you opposing you!" The host continued to shout.
Out of the three people in Phoenix Academy, up till now, no one dared to choose either, so naturally, they could only choose other people.
This time, Ling Youshan was also chosen.
However, Ling Youshan's strength had already reached the fourth stage, so he quickly sent the little boy who challenged him off the stage.
This time, something strange happened.
There were three level 2 Qi Disciple, but they were able to defeat a level 3 Qi Disciple, giving them the opportunity to advance.
As for the three unlucky Third Stage Cultivators, they dejectedly left the stage.
"In the third round, those at the 4th level of Qi Cultivating Stage and above will come out." Lin Yu shouted.
This time, there were only nine people left at the 4th Qi Cultivating Stage. Ling Youshan, as the one who had recently advanced to the fourth stage, was naturally among them.
"I'll give you half an hour to rest. After half an hour, you can challenge the person facing you!" The host said, "As long as you persevere for one more round, you will be rewarded.
This time, there was no limit to the number of challenges, nor was there a limit to the number of targets. That is to say, you can challenge the same opponent again and again. However, after each round, the challenger would have half an hour to rest. As for the losers, they will obviously come out. It has nothing to do with the finals."
