Chapter 550 - 544 Stand Pat (1 Update)
At the Great Cang Martial Training Ground,
Zhang Zhi’s situation had slightly improved, and the attention of the crowd gradually shifted away.
After all, in the hearts of many, a loser will always be a loser; they may attract momentary attention but not forever.
Slowly, those countless gazes turned towards Jun Luoying, Cheng Yue, Xuu Jian, and Wu Zhen.
Jun Luoying and Cheng Yue were the top talents among the fifteen contestants from Great Cang Academy, especially Jun Luoying, about whom there were innumerable rumors.
Xuu Jian was the strongest among the nine contestants from Fei Ming Academy. People from Great Cang City were not very familiar with him, but in the past few days, institutions such as the Information Pavilion had gathered information on all the contestants from the Four Great Academies’ Qiuqing Tournament, and the rumors had gradually spread.
Xuu Jian was one of them.
It was said that he had once managed to escape alive from the grasp of an adult Regrettable Golden Crow. The Regrettable Golden Crow, a Heavenly Fate Realm First Level Demon Beast, possessed the bloodline of one of the Ten Great Ancient Divine Beasts—the Fiery Golden Crow. An adult Regrettable Golden Crow was capable of killing a second-level of Heaven’s Mandate Realm Martial Cultivator in mere seconds and could easily withstand a fight against a Martial Cultivator from the third level of the same realm. Xuu Jian’s escape from it left no doubt as to his staggering strength.
Indeed, many predicted that in this Qiuqing Martial Tournament, Xuu Jian would at least make it into the top three, or even have the chance to challenge Jun Luoying.
As for Wu Zhen, he was the strongest among the eight contestants from Xuaanwu Academy and had gradually been given the title of the "Xuaanwu Reaper."
