However, the expressions of Lu Huaiyan and Fu Hongbo remained solemn. "The team from Lingyin Academy this time is also very strong. There are many powerful cultivators among them. They must have planned the Academy Exchange Tournament in advance."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of Bai Li Hongzhuang and the others also became heavy. Instead of entering the room directly, everyone gathered in one room.
Tomorrow is the day when the Academy Exchange Tournament begins, and it's likely that the two mentors have something to discuss with them.
After all, they have no knowledge about the participants from Lingyin Academy in this tournament so far.
As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing the enemy, a hundred battles can be won. They need at least some information about the opponents to have more confidence in the upcoming confrontation.
"The strongest among the cultivators from Lingyin Academy this time is undoubtedly the Crown Prince of Qingxiao Nation, Nangong Aochen!"
"Nangong Aochen is currently eighteen years old. Two years ago, it was already known that his strength had reached the Innate Realm. Now that two years have passed, we don't know how much he has grown."
"Nangong Aochen is now eighteen years old. So, two years ago, he was only sixteen?" Xia Zhiqing exclaimed. Achieving the Innate Realm at the age of sixteen, his talent is truly exceptional!
Lu Huaiyan nodded slightly. "It is said that Nangong Aochen will leave Lingyin Academy next year, and the reason Lingyin Academy is hosting the Academy Exchange Tournament this year is probably to use Nangong Aochen as their trump card to win first place."
With these words, Gong Shaoqing and the others also understood. "Lingyin Academy is really cunning!"
If they were to hold the tournament two years later, without this trump card, their chances of winning would be greatly reduced.
Lu Huaiyan and Fu Hongbo also had a hint of disdain in their eyes. Lingyin Academy has used various methods to reach its current position.
"In addition to Nangong Aochen, the second prince Nangong Xiujie has also reached the Innate Realm in strength, and the third prince Nangong Yujin is not far from breaking through to the Innate Realm."
"Besides them, there are other cultivators as well, but these three princes from the royal family are the trump cards for Lingyin Academy's victory in this tournament."
"Therefore, the pressure you are under is enormous."
Fu Hongbo's voice was slightly grave. If it were only Nangong Xiujie and Nangong Yujin, they could still compete with Bai Li Hongzhuang and Gong Shaoqing.
However, Nangong Aochen's strength was truly formidable, and their chances of winning were still very slim.
Xia Zhiqing and the others looked at each other. The situation was much more serious than they had imagined.
They just didn't expect that the strength of the two playboy princes, Nangong Xiujie and Nangong Yujin, would be outstanding. It would be difficult to win this time.
"I have received information that Nangong Aochen will not appear in the earlier matches. He will only appear in the finals. So, we won't encounter Nangong Aochen tomorrow," Lu Huaiyan added.
Given Nangong Aochen's strength, he indeed had the privilege to obtain such treatment. It wouldn't make sense for him to participate in the earlier matches, as he would undoubtedly win. It's better to give other students a chance to perform.
"Mentors, what about the cultivators from Beihai Academy?" Liu Qin Yue couldn't help but ask.
Bai Junyu also had doubts, "Yes, the cultivators from Beihai Academy have also failed to win in the past two tournaments. Why are they so arrogant?"
He couldn't understand this point. They are clearly losers...
