The year-end in the year-end comparison does not refer to the end of the year, but to the end of a school year. Every year-end competition, five people are selected to participate in the imperial capital hundred courtyards competition that year, three of them are in the competition, and two are substitutes.

Before the arrival of each year-end competition, everyone will involuntarily get nervous, in addition to the generous rewards for the top five students, the group of people with the worst grades will also be forced to repeat the grade, and even a few of them will be expelled from the academy.

In fact, the year-end competition is only the martial arts part of the year-end assessment, but this part accounts for most of the proportion, after all, relatively speaking, in this world, real cultivation is the most important.

What's more, the top five students still have the opportunity to go to the imperial capital, even if they can't participate in the Hundred Academies Competition, it's good to increase their knowledge.

Che Xiao has now cultivated the late stage of the fifth layer of Qi cultivation, but he is still a short distance away from the peak of the final fifth layer of Qi training. Now there is only a week left before the start of the year-end competition, and during this time, Che Xiao wants to cultivate by leaps and bounds in such a short period of time, to be honest, the possibility is not high.

Looking at Liang Dong's expression, Che Xiao knew what Liang Dong thought, she smiled lightly and said: "You think about it, this time, this year-end competition, I can mix up the substitute place is already very good, I don't expect to break through the inverted six-layer realm before the big competition." But if I can break through to the sixth layer of Qi training when the Imperial Capital Hundred Courtyards competition starts, I think even as a substitute, my chances of playing will be greatly increased. ”

Breaking through to the sixth layer of Qi cultivation in the Imperial Capital, Liang Dong sensed something sensitively, and he asked with some hesitation: "Senior sister, is it easier to break through cultivation in the Imperial Capital than in the academy?"

It also depends on the individual's circumstances. Che Xiao explained to Liang Dong in a low voice: "After arriving in the Imperial Capital, the Imperial Capital will arrange for us to live in the Imperial Capital Royal Academy. Every time the imperial talents participate in the Hundred Houses Competition, there are thousands of people every year, and only the Imperial Capital Royal Academy can accommodate so many people, and the Imperial Hundred Houses Competition is also held there. ”

Che Xiao once went to the empire once, and in last year's Baiyuan Competition, she went as a substitute as the fifth place in her grade, but unfortunately she never got a chance to make a move.

Turning his head to look at the south, Che Xiao's eyes seemed to have crossed the mountains and countless rivers, and saw the imperial capital thousands of miles away, Che Xiao's eyes were misty, and he said in a slightly reminiscent tone: "The Imperial Capital Royal Academy is on the shore of the East Lake in the imperial capital, where the water vapor is permeated and the aura gathers, which is a good place for the cultivation of the Shuimu cultivators to break through. Last year, it was there that I broke through to the fifth layer of Qi cultivation. So if I have the opportunity this year, I still want to try to see if I can break through to the sixth layer of Qi cultivation there, so that I can hit the fusion period next year. ”

At the end of speaking, Che Xiao's tone became firm, in her heart, it was not important to participate in the Hundred Courtyards Competition, the important thing was to be able to use the environment there to make a breakthrough in cultivation, her purpose had always been very direct.

"Is there a water and wood system?" Liang Dong lowered his head and muttered, since there can help his cultivation make progress, then do you want to do something!

Liang Dong knew that Lin Tianlong had been eyeing his position, and if there was no god and demon space behind him, Liang Dong might not be able to suppress Lin Tianlong in cultivation, since this was the case, then taking advantage of the terrain of the Imperial Capital Royal Academy, could he properly distance himself from Lin Tianlong?

"Alas, what are you thinking, it's almost time to go!" Che Xiao patted Liang Dong's shoulder, waking up Liang Dong, who was groaning.

"Alright, I'll clean up now. Liang Dong came back to his senses and smiled apologetically at Che Xiao.

"Hmm!" Che Xiao nodded and said, "Then hurry up, I'll wait for you here." ”

Liang Dong completely extinguished the fire under his feet, and then put his right foot on the ground a little, and immediately turned up a pile of soil on the ground to completely cover the fire. Back in the tree hole, Liang Dong packed up all the things that were placed in the tree hole, and put away all the ghost needle vines, vampire vines and iron wire vines buried nearby, and then returned to the tree.

At this time, Che Xiao had already changed into a pale pink samurai uniform, and the black silk coat that was close to him before was gone. Liang Dong then remembered that Che Xiao must have been hiding around here last night, and he must have brought a lot of things with him on this trip to Qionglin Valley.

Seeing Liang Dong looking at her directly, Che Xiao's face couldn't help but be dyed with a layer of red, she knew that although Liang Dong didn't treat her well yesterday, Che Xiao wore a black waterproof silk coat last night for the convenience of movement. Che Xiao still clearly remembers that when Liang Dong rescued her from the valley, he hugged her thin waist in his arms, and the two of them were tightly together.

It was precisely because of this that Che Xiao was ashamed and angry last night, and he was powerless to resist under the effect of snake venom, and finally fainted directly.

"Hmph!" Che Xiao suddenly snorted coldly, no longer looking at Liang Dong, with a little footstep, the whole person took the lead in the direction of Longmen Academy.

Liang Dong didn't understand what Che Xiao was thinking when he fell to the ground, shook his head gently, followed a little foot, and chased after Che Xiao.

Although Che Xiao is from the Department of Water Science, she is one grade higher than Liang Dong after all, and she is extremely fast when she runs, and she has no intention of waiting for Liang Dong, and she has disappeared from Liang Dong's sight after a while.

Liang Dong didn't pay attention to anything, his body style is itself inferior in long-distance running, there is no need to care too much, not to mention that there are many dangers here, Liang Dong is not like random nonsense, causing some trouble.

It wasn't until he entered the academy within five hundred miles that Liang Dong sped up his speed, and a light body technique blessed his body, and his speed instantly increased by three percent.

However, until he got to the vicinity of the academy, Liang Dong did not find any trace of Che Xiao, and he had some doubts in his heart, but Liang Dong did not deliberately look for it, but entered the academy directly.

In the martial arts hall, Liang Dong finally met Che Xiao, and the other party seemed to have been waiting here for a while. Seeing Liang Dong appear, Che Xiao glanced at him in some surprise and said, "I thought it would take you a while to come back, but I didn't expect it to be so soon, half a day earlier than I expected." ”

"Senior sister, although your cultivation is profound, the light talisman exclusive to our Wood Department is not vegetarian!" Liang Dong poured out the real reason in one sentence, but he asked in surprise: "Senior sister, why don't you exchange things and wait for what to do here?"

"No hurry!" Che Xiao shook his head lightly and said, "The two of us will go to lunch first and talk while eating." ”

"Okay!" Liang Dong looked at the time, and now it was time for the end of class, so he said to Che Xiao: "Okay, senior sister, let's go to Donghua Pavilion together, I'll do Donghua." ”

"Okay!" Che Xiao didn't hesitate, he agreed directly, and followed Liang Dong out of the martial arts hall and went to Donghua Pavilion.

Donghua Pavilion is where Liang Dong often comes, so after arriving at the place, Liang Dong asked the waiter to bring Che Xiao up first, and he stayed downstairs alone.

Although Che Xiao didn't understand what Liang Dong was planning, he didn't want to ask much in front of people.

After a while, Liang Dong, who was waiting at the door of Donghua Pavilion, got up directly and walked briskly towards the two girls who came outside.

"Yanling, Qingyi, come over here. Liang Dong beckoned to Ren Yanling and Su Qingyi, and when the two saw Liang Dong appear, they glanced at each other in some surprise, and then walked back quickly.

"Liang Dong, didn't you say that you had to be outside for a week, why did you come back so soon?" Walking up to Liang Dong, Su Qingyi asked directly.

Liang Dong glanced around and said in a low voice: "This is not the place to talk, let's go upstairs first." ”

"Hmm!" Su Qingyi and Ren Yanling saw that Liang Dong had scruples, so they didn't ask much, and followed Liang Dong up to the second floor and came to a box they frequented.

Standing outside the door, Liang Dong knocked on the door first, and after hearing the sound of "please come in" from inside, he stepped forward and pushed the door open.

Su Qingyi and Ren Yanling saw a strange woman in a light beige samurai uniform sitting in the box, and they became nervous for the first time, and when they saw Liang Dong step forward and call him "senior sister" in a relaxed manner, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, and then wondered: Who is this person?

The door opened, and Che Xiao saw the two beautiful girls behind Liang Dong for the first time, and frowned slightly. Listening to Liang Dong's introduction, one of these two people is his cousin, the other is his friend, and both of them are first-year colleges of the Department of Water Science, Che Xiao glanced at Liang Dong with deep meaning and greeted the two junior sisters.

"Two junior sisters, come and sit down, I'm Che Xiao in the third grade, you may not have heard my name, I am also from the Department of Water Science. Che Xiao stood up and warmly beckoned Su Qingyi and Ren Yanling to sit down.

"Senior Sister Che Xiao!" How could Su Qingyi and Ren Yanling not hear the name of the third-year senior sister of this academy, and immediately began to be a little restrained.

Che Xiao looked Ren Yanling up and down, and said with some surprise: "Senior Sister Yanling, this is about to break through, I thought that you would be the first to break through in the first grade, Senior Sister Ning Qing'er, but I didn't expect you to be one step ahead of her." It's unexpected. ”
