Dragon Covenant

Chapter 26

"Thank you, Sister Anna." Having achieved his goal for today, Albert couldn't help but smile and thanked her sincerely.

Anna, looking cold and cool, waved her hand casually, put on her long coat, and then dragged Cherry out of the refining room.

...

In the following period of time, Albert's life became plain, fulfilling and regular.

During the day, he practiced in Navia Academy. After that, he went back to the cultivation room in the old house to practice. Then he practiced the soul art again. Finally, he went to the Soul Liquid House. Under Anna's guidance, he began to learn how to become a qualified spirit light master.

Moreover, the first batch of the five-star soul liquid that he asked Cherry to purchase had also arrived, so every day he would also take some time to absorb and refine some of the soul liquid.

As time passed, Albert could feel that he was becoming stronger every day.

Until the day before the preliminary examination of Navia Academy began, Albert's phase power reached the peak of the sixth stage.

Today, the atmosphere in Southwind Academy was even hotter than usual, all because the preliminary examination was about to start.

The so-called preliminary examination was to conduct a screening in the academy until the top twenty were finally selected. And these twenty would eventually represent Navia Academy to participate in the major examination.

The academy's major examination included academies from many cities. The ultimate competition in the major examination was for the admission quota of Niuhurst Advanced Academy.

In other words, only by passing the preliminary selection and entering the top twenty of the academy would one be qualified to compete for the admission quota of Niuhurst Advanced Academy.

Many students also understood that Niuhurst Advanced Academy was too far out of reach for them. However, if they could achieve as good a ranking as possible in the preliminary selection, then they could choose some other advanced academies within the Niuhurst Empire.

Although these advanced academies were far inferior to Niuhurst Advanced Academy in terms of scale, strength and reputation, it was still a way out after all.

So the preliminary examination was the last chance for them to prove themselves.

...

At the central square of Navia Academy.

Today, there was a sea of people here. Dozens of arenas were set up as the competition venues for the preliminary selection.

When Albert and Simon came here together, they were both shocked by the boiling noise of the crowd.

"Wow, it's so lively." Simon said with a smile.

"Although it's a preliminary examination, for the vast majority of students, this is their last chance to show themselves in Navia Academy." Albert said.

Simon nodded, touched his head and said rather gloomily, "I don't know if I can enter the top twenty this time."

Because of Albert's sudden outburst, Simon now had the strength of being the second in Class Two. In the whole academy, the probability of him entering the top twenty was not small. Of course, this also required some luck. After all, if he unfortunately encountered some powerful opponents one after another and his battle record was too bad, then it would probably be in jeopardy.

Albert said, "It depends on your luck."

Suddenly, a sharp and loud voice came from the high platform in the square. Many eyes in the venue were cast towards it, and they saw the old dean, Walton, appearing with the tutors of each class.

"Dear students, the preliminary examination of the academy officially starts today. I hope you can do your best to show your strongest state, because this ranking will affect your future."

"The preliminary examination will last for three days. The battle schedule for each day will be posted on the stone walls around the square for you to check."

"I won't say any more nonsense. Here, I announce that the preliminary examination begins."

As the old dean's voice fell, the boiling sound in the venue became even more intense.

At this time, Albert and Simon came to a stone wall beside the venue. There was a projection crystal hanging on the top of the stone wall, and a large number of captions flowed down like a stream.

After looking for a while, they found the battle time for today and the opponents they would meet.

Zhao Kuo heaved a sigh of relief at the first moment. Obviously, the two opponents he met today were within his expectations. It seemed that he could pass this round.

Albert also looked rather calm. The two opponents he was going to fight against today were both from the First Academy, and their strength was not as good as that of Henry whom he had fought against before.

However, it was normal. There were nearly a thousand students in all the classes of Navia Academy combined. It wouldn't be so easy to meet a master.

On the contrary, perhaps in the eyes of many people, he and Simon were considered masters instead.

"It's almost my turn. I'll go to prepare first. You should also cheer up." Simon checked the time and then greeted Albert. Then he couldn't wait to plunge into the crowd and disappeared.

Albert shook his head and also turned around and went to another arena. His first battle was about to begin.

When he arrived at the designated arena, Albert waited for about half an hour. When the spectator on the stage called out his name, he jumped onto the stage.

Albert's appearance also attracted a lot of attention. After all, since he defeated Henry and the other two in a one-versus-three battle before, his fame in Navia Academy was showing signs of resurgence again.
