162: Gathering in Demon City 162: Gathering in Demon City April 19, Demon City.
A group of nearly a hundred young people, eighteen or nineteen years old, stepped out of the train station under the guidance of two beautiful women, immediately dazzled by the sight of the towering buildings and bustling streets before them.
“Is this Demon City?
It’s my first time here, and it’s so bustling…”
“Indeed, it’s bustling, but it’s not as grand as our Demon Capital!”
“Haha, that’s true.
The styles of the two cities are completely different.”
“…”
This group was the top three classes from Demon Capital Academy, here to participate in the Three Cities Elite Exchange Conference.
Besides the team leader He Yanan, Lan Xinlan from the Practical Combat Hall’s medical office was also along for the trip.
A class advisor and a healing teacher were the standard setup for the yearly Three Cities Elite Exchange Conference.
After all, the students participating in the exchange competition were among the most outstanding of the new batch at Demon Capital Academy.
If any serious injuries occurred during the competition, having their top healer around would ensure some peace of mind.
In the station hall, aside from the numerous passersby casting curious glances their way, a male teacher and two students from Demon Academy were already waiting for the group from Demon Capital Academy.
Seeing the crowd from Demon Capital Academy appear, the teacher led the two students over to greet them.
“Excuse me, are you Teacher He Yanan and Teacher Lan Xinlan?”
He Yanan nodded, “Yes.
Are you Teacher Ke Zhen Nan from Demon Academy?”
“Yes, I am here to welcome your school.”
Ke Zhen Nan nodded with a smile and started conversing and exchanging greetings with He Yanan and Lan Xinlan.
The two students behind Ke Zhen Nan, a boy and a girl, began to scrutinize the many students of Demon Capital Academy.
Though there were only two of them, they faced the nearly hundred students from Demon Capital Academy with ease, without a trace of pressure.
The girl, who looked quite proud, had short hair and wore a high-waisted white shirt and ultra-short denim shorts with a purple jacket embroidered with a fierce tiger, her long, fair legs reflecting a faint, dazzling white light in the sun.
The other young man, looking handsome with a gentle smile, was Ji Xuan, who had once crossed paths with Su Yuan at an auction.
“Strange, isn’t Su Yuan coming…” Ji Xuan felt a bit puzzled.
Since Yang Xu was defeated by Su Yuan at the last auction, Ji Xuan had looked up information about Su Yuan online.
“Top-tier summoning technique, his terrifying Hellfire can match geniuses of the same level.”
“A special recruit of Demon Capital Academy, undisputedly the number one among the top ten freshmen.”
“In the South Pole College Practical Combat Hall, he fought the top geniuses from various colleges, taking on four opponents at once and winning, eventually repelling all high-level experts alone.”
…
The more Ji Xuan researched, the more interested he became in Su Yuan.
But this information was from months ago, and Su Yuan seemed to have been quiet lately.
“Logically, he should be part of the exchange competition,” Ji Xuan thought, puzzled about the situation.
The students of Demon Capital Academy also started to size up Ji Xuan and the beautiful short-haired girl.
Du Tao whispered, “Could they be the two super geniuses from Demon Academy?”
Xia Yue looked at the pretty girl ahead and shook her head, “I don’t know about the boy, but the girl is named Yan Ziyu, a top student at Demon Capital Second Middle School and the young lady of another financial group in Demon City.
We’ve fought several times before.”
“Oh?”
Zhang Tai, Shang Baiyu, and others became interested upon hearing this.
“You two have fought before.
How did it go?” Zhang Tai asked.
“There were wins and losses, pretty much even.” Xia Yue replied casually, “By the way, she is also a magician, a water element magician, proficient in defensive counterattacks.”
Shang Baiyu scrutinized Yan Ziyu and said, “I can’t tell about the boy, but his breathing method is likely higher than mine.
As for the girl, she is Bronze High Stage.”
Shang Baiyu’s breathing progress remained the highest besides Su Yuan, and he had fully unlocked his fifth Star Nest, significantly enhancing his perception abilities.
Zhang Tai looked serious, “She is Bronze High Stage too?
If that’s the case, there are already three Bronze High Stages.
Demon Academy is indeed remarkable…”
After spending a lot of accumulated academic points, Xia Yue and Xiang Dingqian broke through to the High Stage in the past twenty days, while Ye Qing and Zhang Tai did not.
Shang Baiyu pondered, “Maybe…
