My Master Disconnected Yet Again (Part 4)

Chapter 586: Second round: Quarterfinals

All at once, Ling Hong's gaze as he looked at Ling Hong was glowing, he kept feeling that Lonemoon could always, from time to time, reveal some unbelievable ability.

On the other hand, Lonemoon looked slightly upset, he had specially circled the entire academy, wanting to find the location of that spirit seed, unfortunately he still came back empty-handed. He could not help but suspect the authenticity of the prize, was the spirit seed really in the academy?

"Ling Hong!" He spoke up for confirmation, no longer able to hold back.

"Ah! Ah?" Ling Hong faltered for a moment before reacting. "Please speak."

"I heard that the prize for this competition is a rainbow-colored egg?"

"Mm." He recalled for a moment then nodded and said. "Seems so. It is said that this egg is full of Immortal Qi, if one can get it, it might boost one's cultivation greatly."

"Oh, such a magical egg exists? Have you seen it before?"

"I haven't." He shook his head honestly. "But this egg was something that Teacher got by chance when he went to the Flame Mountain in the North on a mission." His expression darkened at the thought of something. "My big brother, also injured his legs then."

"I see. Sorry that I brought it up."

"No no no." He shook his head, not minding at all. "Thanks to you, my brother has already drank the medication and will recover soon, we no longer have to worry. By the way, if you are curious about that rainbow colored egg, three days later, during the second round of the competition, the teachers will officially announce the prize, by then you will be able to get a look at it."

"Oh." Lonemoon paused for a moment, concealing the brightness in his eyes, he nodded. Feeling assured, he immediately changed the topic of conversation, bringing up something else. As long as they would get to see the spirit seed, seems they would be able to confirm three days later, whether that was what they were searching for.

—————

Three days later.

The second round of the league.

Early morning, all the participants who passed the first round were already at Immortal Spirit Academy, compared to the huge crowds the previous time, the amount of people here were more than 10 times less. In total, there were only 75 participants who had passed the first round, together with the teachers from the various academies, there were still less than 200 people present, it seemed slightly desolate.

This time, the arena was no longer outdoors but inside the Immortal Spirit Academy. Lonemoon and gang went with Ling Hong and the others, compared to being ignored previous time, once they stepped in this time, a good number of people enthusiastically came over to greet them, they were obviously the customers from the previous time. Lonemoon responded to everyone with a smile, with occasional short conversations, in a short while, the voice that announced the rules of the competition sounded from above.

The few teachers from Immortal Spirit Academy appeared on the podium, Lonemoon swept his gaze across, he did not see the Teacher Yan from the previously time. Ling Hong was right, they were indeed starting to announce the prize of the competition. For the top three places, the prizes for the second and third place was a superior-grade artifact, and first place indeed gets the rainbow colored egg. Almost in the same moment when the colored egg was revealed, Ling Hong sensed a faintly discernible trace of the aura of the original source on it.

"Shen Ying." Lonemoon nudged the person beside him. "Is this it?"

"Mm, yes... I guess?" Shen Ying lifted her head for a glance and cocked her head to a side.
