Zhou Yan looked at the attributes of [Buzhou Mountain] and was surprised. He didn't expect this building to increase so many attributes.
It was indeed very good. Every building truly had its unique function.
Zhou Yan patrolled his territory and saw Si Teng and Hua Yuerong.
"Lord!" The two walked up to Zhou Yan hand in hand and asked, "Where did the Lord go?"
"Upgrading buildings, isn't that what we do every day? There are so many buildings in the territory, and we have to upgrade them every so often. Where are you two planning to go?" Zhou Yan asked.
"We're planning to watch a movie. We haven't seen one in a long time. We've been cultivating in the [Cultivation Secret Realm] for days and have already broken through to the sixtieth heaven." Si Teng quickly replied.
"I've also reached the fifty-ninth heaven," Hua Yuerong added.
"Your realms are advancing quite quickly. I haven't seen a movie in a long time either. Let's go together." The [Cultivation Secret Realm] was indeed very good, and everyone's realm was growing rapidly.
"Okay, okay!" The two women, one on each side, hooked their arms around Zhou Yan.
Both women were of the demon race and were among the earliest to follow Zhou Yan. They had witnessed the territory grow from a small plot of land into such a vast domain.
Si Teng was a vine demon, and Hua Yuerong was a flower demon, but Zhou Yan did not dislike them because of their race.
Let alone demons, Zhou Yan hadn't spared ghosts, so why would he dislike them?
It had been a long time since the two women had accompanied Zhou Yan alone like this. Since Zhou Yan had rare free time this time, they were both very happy.
Upon arriving at the [Cinema], they looked at the movies playing and found an urban film that Zhou Yan hadn't seen. Then, they booked out an entire cinema for the three of them.
The subsequent [Cinema] experience was full of spring, omitted...
The next day, Zhou Yan left the territory early, dressed neatly, and walked out of his room.
"Are you all ready?" Leng Yue looked at Zhou Yan and the others.
"We're ready," Ye Bufan replied.
"No problem, but don't blame me if you get hit by an attack later," Gu Nianyun also said.
"This time it's random teleportation, and we can't identify enemies. Everyone, just play it by ear," Leng Yue could only say so.
Leng Yue gave another instruction and then waited for the time to arrive. After 8:30, Leng Yue said, "Let's go."
Everyone was ready. They were all wearing their academy uniforms and, led by Chu Luoyan, headed towards the martial arts arena.
Before even entering the arena, they could already hear thunderous roars. Many people had gathered, not only students from Longqing Academy but also people from outside. The arena had at least a million spectators.
This competition involved students from all four grades.
The competition methods and entry spaces for each of the four grades were different. Zhou Yan and his group didn't know how the other grades were competing because it had nothing to do with them.
The opening ceremony of the entire arena was still some time away. They sat in the lounge area, waiting for the host to call them on stage.
In the lounge area, there was a screen where they could observe the situation outside.
After the opening remarks, there was a song and dance performance. Looking at the time, it would be around 8:50 before they actually took the stage, and the competition would likely start around 9:00.
Not only Longqing Academy was watching the live broadcast of this competition, but the plazas of the three other major academies were also playing the live broadcast.
Besides the people from the four major academies, only one location in the capital had a live broadcast.
The top three winners of the four major academies would represent the Divine Dragon Kingdom in an international exchange competition.
Although it was called an inter-country exchange competition, it was essentially a test of the potential of the younger generation of lords. While it couldn't represent the strength of the entire nation's younger generation, doing so still held significance.
After the song and dance performance ended, a male and female host appeared with wings and flew onto the stage. After more introductions, the host said, "We believe everyone is greatly looking forward to this competition between the four major academies, and so are we."
"Alright! Without further ado, we now grandly invite the representative team of one of the four major academies, the Longqing Academy team, to take the stage!"
As soon as these words were spoken, a melodious song began to play. Then, from a corner, walked out forty participating students of Longqing Academy and their leading teachers.
"Longqing! Longqing! Longqing!!!!!"
"Longqing, Longqing, eternal glory, Dragon's might shines through the heavens!"
The shouts of hundreds of thousands of people were unprecedented. This demonstrated the grand scale of the academy competition.
It also showed the dominance of Longqing Academy, at least in terms of their impressive slogans.
Next, the hosts introduced these individuals by name.
"Qin Yao?" Zhou Yan suddenly remembered that there was indeed such a person during the newcomer trial stage. He hadn't looked at others' profiles before, so he didn't know she was here too.
"I remember Qin Yao should be part of the Divine Dragon Kingdom's Lord forces. I didn't expect to meet her this time." Zhou Yan recalled that Qin Yao had provided him with considerable financial support in the early stages.
Of course, that was the result of mutual assistance, and Qin Yao was ranked quite high at the time.
Looking at Qin Yao's appearance, she was not bad.
Having seen many beautiful women, Zhou Yan could only say that.
Next to appear was Beidi Academy, and another wave of cheers erupted.
"It's our turn. Let's be energetic and not let others laugh at our Ziwei Academy!" an elder said.
"Yes!" Everyone straightened their backs.
They had been lords for some time and had faced many difficulties and dangers. They were naturally not intimidated by such a scene.
"Next, let us welcome the students of Ziwei Academy onto the stage with warm applause!" the host announced again.
As soon as these words fell, the students watching the live broadcast of their academy immediately exclaimed, "It's our academy's students! Our academy's students are finally appearing!"
"I hope they can achieve good results!"
"I can't guarantee anything else, but the battles of the inner disciples will definitely be first for our Ziwei Academy!"
"That Zhou Yan is too monstrous. He could even destroy twelve territories of the Long family. Coupled with Ye Bufan being the second-ranked newcomer, I can't imagine who among them could stop them."
As the song played, Chu Luoyan led Zhou Yan and the others onto the competition stage, embarking on a new journey.
