Time fled rapidly.
As the life-and-death duel between Xiao Yi and the Royal Martial Arts Academy drew ever closer, the bustling capital of Tianqing Kingdom became increasingly lively.
In the streets and alleys, one could see many powerful martial artists coming and going.
The frequency and intensity of the patrols within the capital also rose several notches.
Even the Black Dragon Cavalry joined in the patrols.
A troop of Black Dragon Cavalry slowly roamed the streets, led by the same black-armored general who had previously escorted Xiao Yi to meet Jiang Tianchen.
"General, there are only seven days left until the battle between Xiao Yi and the Royal Martial Arts Academy begins. Who do you think will have the last laugh?" asked a deputy at his side.
"Isn't that obvious? It will surely be the Royal Martial Arts Academy!"
