Chapter 35: The Top Couple of the Science and Technology Martial Arts Academy, Wei Yuxing and Bai Qiuyan
At the mountainside of Celestial God Mountain, many students and instructors were already gathered, along with the academy's security, staff, and some unknown bigwigs.
After Su Chen and his group of five arrived at Celestial God Mountain, numerous tents had already been set up here. Looking at the mountain, they were as dense as Mongolian yurts.
Although many students were gathered together, Su Chen could tell that the tents were still organized by class, with each team led by an instructor.
"Let's set up our tent too. Tomorrow, when the Martial Artist practical survival assessment officially begins, all participating teams will enter Wilderness Gorge one after another. Tonight, everyone will rest in the tents."
Instructor Ling Yue said as she took out the tent she had prepared in advance and started to get busy.
Su Chen hurriedly stepped forward to lend a hand, helping Instructor Ling Yue to set up the tent. Then, Bai Jing, Liu Yang, and Zhang Weidong each pulled the tent up from different corners.
Instructor Ling Yue was the first to enter the tent, starting to prepare dry food and meals for everyone.
At this moment, more batches of students came up from another mountain path, gathering in an orderly manner.
These students also came together on a bus, but what caught Su Chen's eye was that the buses these students came on had the words "Linjiang Institute of Technology" written on them, and their uniforms were different from those of Jiang University Martial Arts Academy.
"It seems the students from Linjiang Institute of Technology Martial Arts Academy have arrived."
At this time, the chubby Liu Yang eagerly approached Su Chen and said.
"Although the overall strength of the Science and Technology Martial Arts Academy is not as good as our Jiang University Martial Arts Academy, they do have some particularly formidable guys. They've already become true Martial Artists. Their academy has a special ranking list, and ranked first and second is a couple. Both of them already have deep blue Martial Artist badges… Hey, look, it's them."
Liu Yang was enthusiastically introducing when he suddenly brightened up, quickly raising his hand to point at two people not far away.
Su Chen looked in the direction Liu Yang was pointing and indeed saw a couple that could be called a perfect pair.
This couple entered the tent area surrounded by other students from Linjiang Institute of Technology Martial Arts Academy, both with a somewhat aloof temperament and relatively tall figures.
The man had a face as sharp as a blade, his gaze calm and serene, almost without any ripple. He carried a long spear on his back and should be about 1.9 meters tall.
The woman had long black hair with slanted bangs, her gaze carrying a hint of hostility and sharpness toward the men around, giving others the feeling of not daring to approach. Her height was at least 1.8 meters.
Both were dressed in black, giving off an enigmatic aura.
"Are these two very strong?"
Su Chen couldn't help but ask.
"Of course, they're strong. These two are unparalleled geniuses who got their deep blue Martial Artist badges before graduation, and they're a couple. With their combined strength and coordination, I'm afraid we'll have to give the championship of this Martial Arts Tournament to Linjiang Institute of Technology."
After praising these two people's prowess, Liu Yang suddenly became somewhat regretful.
Hearing Liu Yang's words, Su Chen smiled faintly and said.
"Hehe, that may not be the case; doesn't our academy also have Meng Yao?"
"Oh, that's right, Senior Sister Meng Yao is the dean's personal disciple."
The chubby Liu Yang scratched his head and said.
"One-on-one, these two might not be a match for Senior Sister Meng Yao, but together, that's uncertain. Hopefully, when the real finals come, Senior Sister Meng Yao will be able to defeat them..."
Even so, from Liu Yang's response, Su Chen felt he still believed the final champion should belong to Linjiang Institute of Technology Martial Arts Academy.
Because besides this couple, Linjiang Institute of Technology Martial Arts Academy had another Martial Artist with a deep blue badge.
While on Jiang University's side, the only publicly recognized true Martial Artist was Meng Yao.
Later, the chubby Liu Yang also told Su Chen the names of the couple, the man was called Wei Yuxing and the woman Bai Qiuyan.
Their backgrounds were said to be extraordinary as well, but that wasn't something Su Chen cared about.
His gaze wandered around, just wanting to see the girl he most wanted to meet.
Unfortunately, on this bustling Celestial God Mountain, all he could see were dense tents and shadows of people.
He wondered if Meng Yao needed to participate in the Martial Arts Tournament. Would he meet her in Wilderness Gorge...
Thinking of this, Su Chen opened WeChat, intending to ask Meng Yao, but quickly deleted the message he was about to send.
Some things are better left with a sense of mystery.
Afterward, Su Chen didn't continue observing the students from Linjiang Institute of Technology Martial Arts Academy. Instead, he crawled into the tent, laid on the bed, and started playing games.
The game he was playing was still the familiar "War God Alliance."
Although the Celestial God Mountain was fraught with danger, with all the instructors and staff present, it was evidently quite safe before actually entering Wilderness Gorge.
