Chapter 31

A middle-aged woman of great beauty held a small piece of ink scale in her hand, her beautiful eyes carrying a hint of surprise.

After a long while, she finally withdrew her gaze.

"This is Crane Body Technique!" the middle-aged woman put down the ink scale.

"Crane Body Technique?" Han Bingning had never heard of this name.

"Yes, nowadays very few people know about it," the middle-aged woman mused, "The Crane School originated from Crane True Person. The current Tianhe Constellation is the constellation he opened up on the Heavenly Path. The origin of Crane True Person is unknown, but he is very likely a descendant of an ancient Eastern school."

"Tianhe Constellation?" Han Bingning was somewhat surprised. She had heard of this constellation, but it was a rather obscure one.

"The Crane School has lost its true transmission and has been in decline for many years. The status of the Tianhe Constellation back then is something you can't even imagine now," the middle-aged woman sighed with emotion, "I never thought I would see the true transmission of the Crane School here."

She handed the ink scale to Han Bingning and said, "The Crane School's cultivation method is called the Crane Qi Decree. The Crane Qi Decree is obscure and difficult to understand, with an extremely high cultivation difficulty. The true transmission of the Crane Qi Decree is called Crane Body. It is said that once Crane Body is cultivated, the true force becomes as sharp and pointed as a crane's beak, with extremely strong destructive power, hence it is also called Crane Body Technique. Something must have happened within the Crane School, causing them to lose their true transmission. Now, no one knows how to cultivate Crane Body. I never thought I would see it here."

"Is it that powerful?" Han Bingning's beautiful eyes widened. The principal's tone was full of admiration, which was quite rare.

"Each generation of the Crane School has spent their entire lives searching for how to cultivate Crane Body," the middle-aged woman said earnestly, "Crane True Person was able to create the Tianhe Constellation with his own strength, how formidable he must have been! In nearly three hundred years, apart from Lion King Leon, who subdued the Lion Heart Fire Sword and established the supreme dominance of the Lion Constellation, who else has accomplished such a feat? Those who can create their own constellation on the Heavenly Path are all heaven-defying powerhouses. Their true transmissions are the most advanced martial arts of the current era."

Han Bingning's lips parted slightly, and she was speechless. She felt that the principal was becoming more and more exaggerated.

No matter how she tried, she couldn't associate that rude and scatterbrained guy with the world's greatest powerhouses.

The middle-aged woman muttered to herself, "He must have only obtained the cultivation method. Otherwise, he wouldn't be practicing the Small Collapse Fist. Although the Small Collapse Fist is quite mature, it is still far inferior to the Crane School's martial techniques."

Suddenly, the middle-aged woman remembered a long-ignored question, "Bingning, who is this person? Have I been out of touch for too long? When did Xingfeng City produce a new prodigy?"

Prodigy...

Han Bingning's lips twitched slightly, and she forced herself to say, "It's Tang Tian from Sachima Academy."

"Tang Tian?" The middle-aged woman shook her head, "I've never heard of him. It seems he is indeed a new one. Bingning, you must be extremely careful. Don't take him lightly. Crane Body has a characteristic that few people know: its breath is long and its endurance is astonishing. The Crane Qi is continuous and unceasing."

Before Han Bingning could respond, the middle-aged woman stood up abruptly and muttered to herself, "It seems I've been too relaxed lately. From today on, I will personally supervise your cultivation."

Han Bingning was greatly shocked, "Principal, there's no need. Everyone is working hard..."

"No!" The middle-aged woman waved her hand and cut off Han Bingning's words, "I've been too lax lately. I need to set an example and fight on the front lines!"

Han Bingning's face turned pale. The principal was a true cultivation fanatic. Once she started cultivating, she would do it day and night. If she came to supervise their cultivation, it would definitely be a nightmare!

She regretted bringing that piece of ink scale armor today.

All because of that damn Tang Tian!

Time passed quickly, and as the Xingfeng Martial Arts Conference approached, Xingfeng City became bustling.

The Xingfeng Martial Arts Conference is the largest festival in Xingfeng City. Participants in the Xingfeng Martial Arts Conference include not only the various academies in Xingfeng City but also many martial artists from other places. The Xingfeng Martial Arts Conference is not limited to students; it is an open martial arts competition. The rich prizes have attracted a large number of martial artists from other places.

The large number of participants has made the Xingfeng Martial Arts Conference even more lively and attractive. Many people have traveled from distant cities to Xingfeng City to observe the martial arts conference.

The number of pedestrians on the streets has increased several times, and almost all the inns are fully booked.

This year's martial arts conference has the highest number of participants in its history. Outside the city, on the light rope bridge, figures are constantly moving, practicing various light techniques.

"Hey, old man, why did you drag us out so early? It's disrupting our sleep!" Tang Tian complained as he walked, with Xiao Nuantuan sitting on his shoulder, eating snacks contentedly.

"Idiot, to participate in the preliminary rounds," Old Wei looked at him with disdain.

"Does the Xingfeng Martial Arts Conference have preliminary rounds?" Amoli was surprised, "Why didn't I know about this?"

"Of course, a prestigious school like the Beast Academy doesn't need to participate in the preliminary rounds," Old Wei sneered, "Our school's situation isn't good, so we have to start from the preliminary rounds."

"Oh, that makes sense. A school ranked third from the bottom should start from the preliminary rounds," Amoli nodded in understanding.

Old Wei jumped up as if his tail had been stepped on, "Amoli, don't you have any other thoughts about the school's situation? Shouldn't you be passionate and fight to change the school's predicament?"

"Basic Tang, are you passionate?" Amoli turned to ask Tang Tian.

"I want to sleep," Tang Tian yawned.

"What did you do last night?" Old Wei looked puzzled.

"Practiced the Small Collapse Fist," Tang Tian continued to yawn, looking listless.

"Small Collapse Fist? How exciting! Basic Tang, let's have a good fight! For Chien..." Amoli raised his knife and shouted.

Bang! A fist came from above and landed heavily on his head.

Old Wei's expression was unfriendly, "Amoli, if you lose today, heh heh!"

The cold laughter immediately made Amoli behave like a good boy.

When the four of them arrived at the venue, they were immediately stunned by the massive crowd. The dense crowd, bustling and noisy, made Tang Tian and Amoli stare in amazement.

"Are there so many people in the preliminary rounds?" Amoli was shocked.

"Non-seed participants all start from the preliminary rounds," Old Wei was quite calm. He took out a piece of paper from his pocket and carefully read it, muttering, "Hmm, Amoli is in Field 5267, and Tang Tian is in Field 3897. See that sign? Go check the location of your field. Here are your participant cards, keep them well."

Old Wei, as if injected with adrenaline, shouted, "Young men! For the great revival of Sachima Academy, fight..."

Tang Tian yawned and turned to leave.

Amoli looked at Old Wei with sympathy and also turned to find his field.

Tang Tian's eyelids were extremely heavy. He just needed to find a place to lie down and fall asleep. Last night, he had just gone through a round of intense cultivation. After ten days of intense cultivation, he was extremely tired. He had just fallen asleep when Old Wei dragged him up to participate in the preliminary rounds.

Xiao Nuantuan sat on Tang Tian's shoulder, looking around. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she grabbed Tang Tian's hair with one hand, pointing to the right with the other, shouting, "Big brother, over there, over there!"

"Okay," Tang Tian responded and subconsciously followed the direction Xiao Nuantuan pointed.

Field 3897.

The opponent and the referee had not arrived, and without a word, Tang Tian lay down and fell asleep. As soon as his head touched the ground, loud snoring began.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

"What's there to see in the preliminary rounds," Mingguang muttered, not daring to speak loudly.

When Liang Qiu suggested going to watch the preliminary rounds, Mingguang found it unbelievable. Preliminary rounds? What do they have to do with them? They are all seed participants! Mingguang was ranked ninth in the Beast Academy, so he didn't need to go through the preliminary rounds.

In his eyes, the preliminary rounds were just a competition among mediocre participants. The real competition was among the seed participants.

Liang Qiu's strange suggestion made Tian Lin and Mingguang feel very odd.

What was even more unexpected was that Senior Wang Zhen also nodded in agreement. Tian Lin and Mingguang looked at each other, not understanding what was wrong with the two seniors.

But when the two leaders spoke, they had no choice but to obey.

The four of them lined up and appeared at the venue, immediately causing a stir. Liang Qiu had a calm demeanor, Wang Zhen was deep and solid, Tian Lin was arrogant and cold, and Mingguang was lively and handsome. The four of them, with their different auras, formed a striking landscape.

"Heavens! Am I seeing things? Isn't that Liang Qiu? My idol!"

"Liang Qiu, Wang Zhen, Tian Lin, Mingguang, wow, what is the Beast Academy up to? Four out of the top ten are here? Is there someone extraordinary from the Beast Academy participating in the preliminary rounds?"

"How could students from the Beast Academy need to participate in the preliminary rounds?"

The students at the venue were discussing, and these four were all well-known experts in Xingfeng City. Liang Qiu and Wang Zhen were idol-level experts with countless admirers.

The students participating in the preliminary rounds, all from ordinary academies, were extremely excited to see their idols.

But no one understood why such experts would come to watch the preliminary rounds.

The preliminary rounds of the Xingfeng Martial Arts Conference, although often called the breeding ground for dark horses, were actually a competition among low-level participants. True experts, with even a little fame, would be selected as seed participants and directly enter the main competition.

The appearance of these four experts at the preliminary rounds was a strange event!

Liang Qiu, a hot favorite for the championship of this year's Xingfeng Martial Arts Conference, actually came to watch the preliminary rounds?

There must be some inside story!

Liang Qiu ignored the gazes and said calmly, "I'm going to watch Amoli."

Wang Zhen nodded, "I'm going to watch Tang Tian."

Tian Lin and Mingguang looked at each other, and Tian Lin followed Liang Qiu, while Mingguang followed Wang Zhen.

The four of them split into two directions, which was unexpected by everyone. Some students without matches followed behind.

They wanted to see what kind of match could attract four seed participants to come.
