Three days later, under a night where the moon was very thin, Qin Meng returned to the academy's grounds. Just as he stepped into the main entrance, he fainted.

Fortunately, Qingyang had discovered it early and carried it back.

It was only on the tenth day that Qin Meng finally woke up.

Creak!

Qingyang brought over a pot of hot water. Seeing Qin Meng who had opened his eyes, he revealed a look of joy: "Senior Brother, you're awake?" He turned and ran out.

Before long, Li Yi walked over with big strides with a smile on his face, "Your injuries are also serious!"

Qin Meng had returned for ten days, but the two of them did not tell Long Waner and the rest about it.

"Senior apprentice-brother!"

Outside the door, Qiu Xiaoyi was skipping over, his mouth was slurred as though he was eating something, but before he even reached the door, the fragrance of food permeated the air.

Qingyang muttered, "All you know is how to eat all day."

Qiu Xiaoyi seemed to have sensed something, his big eyes glanced at him: "What did you say?"

Qingyang sternly replied, "I said Little Senior Sister is the most beautiful."

Qiu Xiaoyi laughed complacently: "Of course."

The next moment, her face flushed red as she quickly wiped the grease off her mouth. She said in embarrassment, "I was going to help you pack a few Phoenix-Tail Chickens, but the shop owner said that we ran out of stock."

He probably ate it?

Qingyang's eyes were wide open. He too dared not speak a word in anger.

Cough cough!

Qin Meng coughed a few times, he started to circulate the Qi Sea, quietly treating himself, and after a few more hours, the injuries on his body started to heal.

"How many days?" Qin Meng asked.

"Ten days." Azure Sun replied.

"You guys healed me?" He was very surprised. He knew better than anyone how serious his injuries were than the dried up Qi Sea and the severed meridians. It had only been ten days and he had actually recovered by more than half.

"It's the princess' Pill." Li Yi sighed: "She gave the Body Breaking Pill to you. She said, this Pill can stabilize your injuries."

"And then?"

"Then, you gave me some life runes to draw on your body and condense your life force." Li Yi said.

"Say thank you for me the next time you see her." Qin Meng nodded.

"Yes." Li Yi looked at him, "Then she asked me to tell you, live well."

Xia Xiaoxiao was very clear about Qin Meng's character, so he did not try to persuade him otherwise.

It was a signal of danger.

"Also, a few guests came to our courtyard ten days ago." Li Yi said leisurely as he looked at Qin Meng with a strange expression in his eyes, "Princess Da Xia, Prince of Darknorth, and the Beiming Clan."

"I know." Qin Meng nodded his head, he was still very calm, as though he had already predicted this would happen.

In the end, the three of them left the room one after another.

A few days later, Qin Meng's internal injuries had also gradually improved, and his complexion had also reddened by quite a bit. In the end, he chose to see the few guests.

Within the Fifth Institute.

When they saw Qin Meng's arrival, they all stood up and greeted him like gentlemen.

Qin Meng immediately said: "I'm really sorry. I've been injured in the past few days."

Long Waner laughed: "I've recuperated for more than ten days, it seems like Brother Qin's injuries are severe!"

When these words came out, Li Yi looked at him silently. She actually knew about this a long time ago.

Qin Meng said: "The enemies are very strong."

These four words alone made everyone fall silent.

They were very clear about Qin Meng's strength, but to use such a tone to describe the newcomers, it was sufficient to show that the two Sacred Grounds had really put in a lot of effort this time.

After a long while, Long Waner sighed softly. "Brother Qin, are you really not going to consider my Da Xia?"

The Netherworld smirked. "Actually, the old emperors of my Darknorth are still alive. Even if the Celestial King descended, he wouldn't dare to act too wildly."

Qin Meng said with a stern expression: "Thank you for your kind intentions, but, I have already made my decision."

Li Yi understood the reason behind their visit, his heart quivered, to think that they were here to poach, but luckily Qin Meng had rejected them.

A few hours later, seeing that Qin Meng had no intention to help them, Long Waner and You You You could only leave with regret.

As for the young man, he too left the Red Star Academy an hour later.

Within the Fifth Institute.

Qin Meng stood there quietly, looking at the god statue in front of him.

Li Yi stood behind him, looked at him, also looked at the god statue, and couldn't help but ask: "How many have come?"

Qin Meng paused for a moment before replying: "Two Divine Kings, seven or eight Heavenly Piercing Stage experts, and a few other young geniuses, your Fifth Institute might not be able to hold on any longer. If possible, you can leave now, the further you go, the better."

Li Yi's heart trembled, and his nose turned sour: "There's no hope?"

Qin Meng shook his head.

Li Yi was unreconciled, "Not even a little bit?"

The latter became silent. A tenth of the hope was obtainable, but what about a thousandth? What was he supposed to do?

Two Divine Kings, seven or eight Heavenly Piercing Stage, and even some powerful young geniuses. This kind of lineup was not something they could resist, even if they had to fight to the limit against the two divine statues.

"Young master."

Unknowingly when the violet clothed old man had arrived here, and he stood behind the two of them, lightly saluting.

The two glanced at each other but did not say anything.

The old man laughed, "It's just two Celestial Kings. Killing them is fine. The reason why we failed 60 years ago was because we didn't know that a Celestial King had come. Now, we know."

Li Yi opened his eyes wide, revealing joy: "Senior, are you saying that you can block it?"

The old man shook his head, "I can't hold them off, but the other few old fellows are also rushing over. Adding the two deity statues, they must have the ability to fight against the Celestial King."

Should he add more people?

Li Yi slightly opened his mouth, as his chest felt suffocated.

Of course, he did not understand how terrifying the Divine King was. Otherwise, he could have faced him with just a few more people. He was definitely shocked.

Qin Meng remained silent.

The violet-clothed old man didn't continue.

A few minutes later, Li Yi turned around and left.

In ten days, the selection competition would begin, and at that time, the great calamity of Red Star Academy would descend.

Although the time was short, Li Yi still wished for himself to make more preparations.

He began to draw talismans with all his might. At this point, talismans of the second rank could no longer satisfy him. His gaze fell on the talismans of the third rank and he even had the terrifying thought of drawing a talisman of the fourth rank.

When he was mentally exhausted, he once again began to cultivate, silently evolving his various Daoist magics.

As for Qin Meng's sword technique, he had not taught himself, he had only told him that it was not appropriate.

As the days drew near, the atmosphere in the entire city began to tense up.

Geniuses began to show signs of activity one after another. After a few days, quite a few collisions attracted people's attention. However, so far, no life and death battles had occurred.

Inside the Fifth Institute, Qin Meng was still standing quietly in front of the god statue. He did not waver despite being hit by wind or rain.

Immediately after, the dean returned to the Fifth Institute in a dusty state. After walking deeper in, he no longer saw anyone around him.

Another day had arrived. Dawn had broken, and the hazy mist began to dissipate.

It was also on this day …

The two sacred lands' first batch of people arrived at the capital city, and the entire city was in an uproar.

What was surprising was that a group of youngsters had arrived. Moreover, they had brought along an astonishing piece of news. The preliminaries were delayed by half a month.
