That's right, the youth who had just obtained the Wind Snow Lotus and left the mountain was Qinchuan, who had left the Blackmoon Combat Academy and embarked on his journey alone.
Qinchuan had appeared here because it was almost his teacher Ning Ya's birthday. In a conversation a few days ago, Ning Ya had unintentionally mentioned her birthday and told Qinchuan, who had already reached the Great Python Snow Mountain, that her birthday wish was to receive a flower that would never wither as a present. As long as the Wind Snow Lotus was not destroyed, it would always remain in full bloom. It could be said that this was very much in line with Ning Ya's wishes. Qinchuan, who had received the hint, would naturally not disappoint Ning Ya, which was why he had been waiting here for a few days.
After leaving the Great Python Snow Mountain, Qinchuan found a local express delivery company in a small town at the foot of the mountain and sent the Wind Snow Lotus to the Blackmoon Combat Academy's office in the Elven City. Qinchuan had even bought insurance for such a valuable item, just in case.
After doing all this, Qinchuan prepared to rest in the small town for the night and continue his journey the next day.
Sitting in a restaurant in the small town, Qinchuan drank warm fruit juice while watching the television report of the Six Great Academies' qualifiers. Although the freshmen competition and the official competition had ended, the challenge competition was still ongoing. The top ten academies would decide the champion and runner-up in the challenge competition and then challenge the bottom two academies of the Six Great Academies. If they won, they would replace the loser and become one of the Six Great Academies.
In the past, the fifth and sixth places of the Six Great Academies were usually the Starry Sky Academy and the Blackmoon Combat Academy. However, this year, the Blackmoon Combat Academy had risen to the top and the Starry Sky Academy had also shone brilliantly, taking third place in the third place competition. Therefore, the bottom two academies were the Blackheaven Sect's affiliated university and the Federation Military University.
Unsurprisingly, the champion and runner-up of the challenge competition were Huadong University and Linhai University.
Huadong University, led by Gao Xueliang, chose to challenge the Federal Military University, while Linhai University, led by Sun Mao, chose to challenge the university affiliated to the Mysterious Sky Sect.
The competition started this morning. At that time, Qinchuan was on his way up the mountain and didn't have time to watch the competition. At this time, watching the replay on the crystal screen and listening to the discussions of the customers around him, he couldn't help but frown.
"Did you guys see the match this afternoon? Sun Mao versus Chen Aochu. He was almost killed by Chen Aochu!"
"That's right!
It's said that if it wasn't for the referee, Sun Mao would have died! "
"Apparently, it was because Sun Mao mentioned Chen Changxing that Chen Aochu wanted to kill him!"
Qinchuan looked at Chen Aochu's gloomy expression on the crystal screen and couldn't help but frown. It seemed that losing to Chen Changxing in the official competition had a great impact on Chen Aochu, causing him to be unwilling to even hear Chen Changxing's name. Thinking of the trip to the Carefree Secret Territory that was soon to come, Qinchuan suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
Just as Qinchuan was thinking about this, a delicate figure suddenly appeared beside him.
"Um, can I sit here?
There are no other empty seats. "
Hearing this, Qinchuan raised his eyes to look at the girl who spoke and was slightly stunned. He didn't expect to meet Zhao Ning here again.
After looking around and confirming that there were no empty seats, Qinchuan calmly said to Zhao Ning, "Sit."
"Thank you."
Zhao Ning sat down on the chair beside Qinchuan and said to Qinchuan, "Xu 'Er and Zhang Ming were injured. We sent them to the hospital for treatment. Lu Feng is taking care of them in the hospital. I came out to buy food for them."
"This has nothing to do with me."
Qinchuan drank a mouthful of fruit juice. He wasn't interested in Zhao Ning's matters.
Seeing that Qinchuan wasn't interested in these matters, Zhao Ning changed the topic and excitedly said to Qinchuan, "We're all freshmen at Huadong University. We've all watched the Six Great Academies' ranking competition. You're my idol. I especially admire you!"
Qinchuan glanced at Zhao Ning and said, "Thank you."
Qinchuan didn't suspect that Zhao Ning's words were false. This was because Zhao Ning had clearly recognized him on the snowy mountain. If Zhao Ning wasn't familiar with him, he wouldn't have been able to recognize him under those circumstances.
"I've always wanted to become someone like you. Handsome, confident, responsible, and able to challenge those of a higher level!"
Zhao Ning happily said to Qinchuan, "At that time, I was very regretful that I wasn't able to see you at the scene. Later, I saw the news report that you didn't return to the Blackmoon Combat Academy. I was curious where you went, but I didn't expect to see you here in the blink of an eye. Where are you going?"
Zhao Ning directly asked Qinchuan about his destination. Although it was a little inappropriate, Qinchuan didn't mind. He simply replied, "I'm going to see a friend of mine and give him a surprise."
Originally, Wang Bo should have been able to watch all the matches in Stardragon City before leaving. However, because of the sudden battle at the Eastern Mountain front line, Wang Bo had received an emergency notice and had to leave early. He didn't even have the time to inform Qinchuan. He had only sent an email.
After winning the championship, Qinchuan had sent Wang Bo an email and called him, but he hadn't been able to contact him. After reading the news about the Eastern Mountain front line, Qinchuan knew that the situation there was tense. He decided to go to the Eastern Mountain front line and visit Wang Bo in the barracks.
"It's a blessing to be able to be your friend," Zhao Ning said to Qinchuan enviously. "I also want to be your friend."
When Qin Chuan heard this, he didn't know what to say. It was easy to become his friend, but it was also very difficult.
Zhao Ning also felt that she had said too much. She stuck her tongue out at Qinchuan and said, "Well, the food I ordered is almost ready. I'll be leaving first."
"Goodbye."
Qinchuan waved at Zhao Ning and watched her walk to the front desk. She took the food in the lunch box and left the restaurant.
After Zhao Ning left, Qinchuan turned on his optical computer and checked the latest news about the Eastern Mountain battle. When he saw that the Eastern Mountain front line was in a disadvantageous situation and that the front line had been completely defeated, Qinchuan couldn't help but frown. How could they be defeated so suddenly?
When he saw that the Eastern Mountain front line had more than ten thousand casualties, Qinchuan couldn't sit still. Although he didn't think that a medic like Wang Bo would be in any danger, he couldn't be at ease unless he saw that Wang Bo was fine with his own eyes.
After calling Wang Bo again but no one picked up, Qinchuan immediately booked a flight to Eastern Mountain City the next morning. He decided to stop sightseeing and go to the Eastern Mountain front line immediately.
