I conquered the cultivation world with scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

Chapter 229 A plate of loose sand

Seeing that Shangguan Ningxue was clearly displeased, Xie Xing quickly explained:

“Xuexue, I broke off the engagement after Jiang He returned to Sun Star. I have nothing to do with her now. Besides, she is vulgar. Even if she is beautiful, she is just an empty-headed vase. You know that I, Xie Xing, only like you. How could I possibly like Jiang He?”

Xie Xing was afraid that Zhong Hengshan would try to sow discord between Shangguan Ningxue and Xie Xing, so he explained with extra care.

Seeing Xie Xing's sincere emotions, Shangguan Ningxue nodded:

"I believe you, Brother Xie."

“Ningxue, even if Xie Xing and Jiang He have no relationship, you've seen that Xie Xing is of questionable character. The documents I sent you clearly state that Xie Xing and Jiang Yaoyi are involved…”

"Alright, stop talking. Hengshan, give up. I will never accept your advances."

"Alright, Shangguan Ningxue..."

Shangguan Ningxue took Xie Xing's hand, her face full of affection.

Xie Xing's appearance and physique are impeccable. Zhong Hengshan has been pursuing Shangguan Ningxue for so long that their families are even about to get engaged.

As a result, Xie Xing came to the rescue, saving Shangguan Ningxue's life.

Under the influence of the suspension bridge effect, Shangguan Ningxue fell in love with Xie Xing at first sight, but Xie Xing interfered in their relationship, causing it to fall apart.

Zhong Hengshan's expression was not good. He sent Shangguan Ningxue a lot of videos and photos of Xie Xing and several women being intimate, but Shangguan Ningxue only believed what she wanted to see.

Some time ago, he went on a long trip, and the two of them immediately got engaged.

Zhong Hengshan, Xu Ye, Xu Wen, and Shangguan Ningxue have been friends since childhood and have always teamed up to fight monsters together.

All four had reached the Nascent Soul stage. Xie Xing, a Golden Core cultivator, joined the team because of Shangguan Ningxue. He was already dissatisfied with Xie Xing and Shangguan Ningxue's relationship, and now his face darkened even more.

Xu Ye was quite open-minded. He and Xu Wen were both cultivators trained by the Shangguan family, and they would generally help Shangguan Ningxue with whatever she did.

Zhong Hengshan watched the two of them being all lovey-dovey and, to avoid getting annoyed, turned his gaze away.

Xie Xing had just witnessed the conflict between Jiang He and Zhao Wuchi.

He didn't have a good impression of Jiang He.

This kind of self-serving woman is not worthy of being his fiancée. As for Jiang Yaoyi, she was alright; he could date her, after all, she was a girl from a modest family, which was his type.

As for Jiang Yaoyi now, he doesn't even want to touch her. She's ugly and disgusting. If it weren't for their years of friendship, he wouldn't even want to talk to her.

Fortunately, Jiang Yaoyi didn't ask for much. As long as he severely injured Jiang He in the academy competition this time, Jiang Yaoyi promised to keep their secret forever.

Xie Xing felt a little better after thinking about this.

It's a pity about the Jiang family's stone tablets. He wanted to see them a few more times. He wondered where the Jiang family's ancestors got the luck to leave behind five stone tablets.

With Mingyue Academy ceasing its provocations, the relationship between Wanjue Academy and Mingyue Academy has become much quieter.

The cultivators of Wanjue Academy were all holding their breath after being provoked by Ming Yue's words.

Even if we don't aim for first place in this university competition, we should at least try to prove ourselves.

Moreover, Mingyue's side already looks down on them like this, and they're not the only ones. This means that Wanjue Academy is also viewed this way by netizens online.

Seeing that the enthusiasm of the cultivators in her academy had been fully mobilized, Jiang He felt that she had achieved her goal.

Mingyue's whetstone can still be used.

With all the universities in attendance, the university competition officially began.

The various universities did not enter the venue for the university competition all at the same time, but rather in a different order.

The time interval between the various universities was one hour.

Don't underestimate this hour. Entering an hour early allows you to find teammates to set traps to ambush cultivators from other academies, find a campsite in advance, or launch the first attack on the monsters.

The order in which students enter the venue is determined by the ranking of the previous year's participating universities.

For example, if Lingqing Academy ranked first in the previous year, then students from Lingqing Academy will be the first to enter the venue.

Those from Xiling Academy, who came in second, would enter an hour later. Those from Jingxu Academy, who came in third, would also need to enter the competition venue an hour after entering Xiling. Those from Wanjue Academy, who came in fourth, and those from Mingyue Academy, who came in fifth...

And so on.

Once ten universities have entered the competition, the remaining universities are not subject to this rule and can directly enter the competition venue.

Led by Wan Qiziye, the cultivators from Lingqing Academy arrived at a place resembling a teleportation circle. In the blink of an eye, the entire Lingqing Academy group entered the competition arena.

The university competition differs from the college entrance examination in several ways. One of them is that teams participating in the college entrance examination can teleport directly into the competition venue together.

This means that fixed members from each team will be teleported to the same location and will not be separated.

But the situation is different for universities.

In addition to teams being separated, members will also be dispersed and teleported during the university competition.

In this way, if a leader or a cultivator manages the situation well, they can gather their team members or academy cultivators in advance during this hour to accumulate an early advantage and widen the "economic gap".

[Lingqing Academy is always the first to enter the examination hall each year. This early advantage accumulates quickly, and once it snowballs, what chance will other academies have?]

I think it's unfair to hold university competitions like this.

This advantage is also thanks to the contributions of our predecessors; there's nothing we can do if our predecessors from other universities can't do it.

There's nothing unfair about it. If you want to say it's unfair, there are plenty of other unfair things in the world. Everyone starts from a different point in time, so how is that unfair?

Ahhh, Wanqi Ziye is truly as handsome as royalty! He's already gathered over twenty people at the start. I feel like Ling Qing is going to take first place again this time.

Of course, our Lingqing will definitely be number one in this academic competition!

Other universities followed suit one after another. Xiling's rigid education system is truly impressive. Lingqing had an extra hour's advantage, but Xiling maintained its cohesion entirely through strict discipline.

Um, compared to these two academies, Jingxu seems to be much inferior. But why is Wanjue's group so scattered? It's too scattered. Don't they have any leaders or anything to command them?

Unbelievable! I thought things would be better this year since the Wanjue Academy had filled its enrollment quota, but it's still a complete mess.

It seems there's a leader at the Myriad Absolutes Academy, someone named Yun Feilu, who's also at the Nascent Soul stage. I just don't know why Yun Feilu hasn't made a move.

Leaving aside other smaller academies, compared to the other three of the four major academies, Wanjue is truly something else. You can see their traditional programs every year. If we don't join forces now, when the cultivators from Mingyue Academy come and team up with Ling Qing, won't they just blow the heads off Wanjue's cultivators again?

[: So what if he gets eliminated? It's fine. He has no skill but still tries to show up on the field. It's good that he's eliminated early. He's interfering with my watching Ling Qing's match.]

Mingyue entered! Holy crap, he ran into Wan Jue's people as soon as he went in! Unbelievable! It seems to be that female cultivator who was just talking to Zhao Wuchi, what's her name, Jiang He?

There's only one person here at the Myriad Absolutes Academy. I just saw that female cultivator go in, but I don't know what she's doing. She's just wandering around, not fighting or battling monsters. I don't understand what she's doing.

: LOL, I saw it too. Does she think she's doing Citywalk? She's been flying on her sword for an hour and is still wandering around aimlessly.

I see that Mingyue's cultivator bumped into her. What is she going to do? She's supposed to be the top scholar in the entire country? I think with my strength, I could easily be that top scholar myself.

When will these cultivators' IDs be revealed? I can't wait to know Wanqi Ziye's ID, and I wonder if I bet right.

The usernames won't be available until all universities have joined the queue and the leaderboard is released. Just wait, it will be at least nine hours later.

I really want to know everyone's ID! I'm betting my entire fortune on it!

Can I say I really hate gamblers? Thankfully, Hengxing Technology has some restrictions. It feels like you guys pull this stunt every year; when you lose, you're bound to whine online again.

Jiang He was randomly teleported to a desert. Her luck has always been bad, and this time was no exception.

For example, in the previous instance in the secret realm, I encountered a giant bee BOSS that was several times stronger than my own fighting ability. Fortunately, I managed to obtain the crystal core without any major incidents.

And the psychedelic spiders that follow are also like that.

The desert is one of the most difficult terrains to hide in.

Monsters that can survive in the desert are adapted to extreme environments, so fire elemental magic is useless against them.

Because most fire spells cause damage due to high temperatures, and high temperatures are one of the environmental characteristics of the desert, while drought is another.

In the holographic arena, the reality is 100%. As Jiang He walks in the desert, as soon as her foot touches the ground, a hole will be burned into the sole of her shoe.

So Jiang He walked and stopped, practicing her swordplay for a while longer.

She observed the distribution of the main vegetation types in this desert. With spiritual herbs, she could easily identify the environment of this desert and the monsters that might appear.

So far, Jiang He has not encountered any monsters.

She patrolled for a while and collected a lot of wild fruits and spiritual herbs.

In the university competition, everything can be described numerically, so there are settings such as satiety and hunger, and eating is one of them.

Although most people don't quite understand this setting, since most cultivators no longer need to eat food once they reach the Golden Core stage, such a setting is redundant.

However, some people feel that this setting is fairer to cultivators above the Golden Core stage and those below it.

This setting has been retained for so many years.

Jiang He ate a bite of the sour wild fruit and then cut off the skin of the giant cactus to make shoes and protective gear to protect some joints.

It has to be said that the presence of giant cacti in the desert made things much easier for Jiang He. Since giant cacti can survive in the desert, they can withstand high temperatures, so the shoes made from their outer skin can support Jiang He walking in the desert.

As Jiang He walked across the desert, she sent messages in the team chat.

[0523 Team Channel:]

Jiang He: I'm in the desert. Tell me your location. The environment here is alright, a bit harsh, but the monsters are generally high-level, making it suitable for hunting.

Long Aotian: I'm currently on a glacier, so it'll be difficult for me to get there. You guys gather first.

Li Ling: Here I am.

Bai Zhizhou: Here I am.

Zhong Liyu: What a coincidence, I'm also in the desert, hahaha, here I come!

Jiang He: Let me know when you arrive, give me your location, don't come over yet.

Li Ling & Zhong Liyu & Long Aotian & Bai Zhizhou: Good]

Jiang He temporarily closed the team channel and then opened the academy channel.

There are four channels in the Academy Grand Competition: a team channel, an internal academy channel, a world channel, and a temporary team formation channel.

These channels are all used for communication.

Only team members who registered for the university competition at the time can speak and see messages from their own teams in the team channel.

The academy's internal channel allows all cultivators within the academy to speak and view others' messages.

The World Channel, also known as the Public Channel, is open to all cultivators who participated in the Academy Grand Competition, including those from different academies.

The last channel can only be initiated by one team leader. The team leader can invite members from other teams (not limited to academies) to join the temporary team. As long as the members are in the team, they can speak and view the content.

The Academy Channel has two member positions, which are elected by the monks within the academy.

One is the leader and the other is the commander; their functional permissions are comparable to those of a group owner and administrator in a regular group.

Besides the world channel, the other three channels allow leaders and commanders, team leaders, and temporary team leaders to have permissions such as muting and posting announcements within their respective channels.

The leader of the Wanjue Academy's channel has been voted out: Yun Lufei. Yun Lufei is a senior student with decent cultivation.

In addition, he was well-liked, so many people voted for Yun Lufei.

After Yun Lufei was elected leader, he issued an announcement in which he revealed his location.

Then he began to gather other people to his position, and those who were good friends with Yun Lufei basically all went to his side.

Jiang He glanced at Yun Lufei's location. The geographical location was too flat, almost like a plain with no obstructions to the view. Such a location was not suitable for gathering.

Jiang He frowned slightly.

[0523 Team Channel:]

Zhong Liyu: ? What is Yun Lufei doing? He's just talking theory. Even I know that the rendezvous point should be a place with cover. Is anyone really going to go and get themselves killed? If we run into him head-on, we can take him down in one hit.

Long Aotian: I had the rogue cultivator I knew cast his vote for Jiang He. The commander hasn't come out yet.

Jiang He: Yunlu Feifa's current location isn't ideal. Let's continue closer to the desert. There's an oasis about five o'clock away from the desert, with trees and water. The desert map restricts our movement; we need to drink water and eat to increase our satiety. We'll meet there then.

Bai Zhizhou: Good]

After sending the message, Yun Lufei breathed a sigh of relief. The plains were too vast. Not only had he not been able to get out in time, but he had also encountered Ling Qing's people. If he hadn't summoned other cultivators, he would definitely have been eliminated here.

Yun Lufei glanced at the vote for the academy's command position and found that many people had cast their votes for Jiang He.

He was somewhat dissatisfied with Jiang He's vote count. One leader is enough for a university. Jiang He has a lot of influence among the freshmen, and he will definitely share the influence with him in the future.
