"Ah, you've been training in the courtyard for eight days, and I haven't had the chance to tell you about the Eastern Region Competition. I was planning to call you out directly, but you came out on your own," Lin Xiao said with a smile.

He invited the two into the courtyard, and after they sat down, Tang Yan began pouring tea.

Lin Xiao explained, "This time, the most renowned cities in the Eastern Region Competition are Fang City, Qing City, and Song City. It's expected that people from these three cities will enter the Orient Loong Academy. Next is Yu City, where some believe Su Wei might be selected. As for our Yun City, we're still not favored."

"Hmph, that's too much! A bunch of snobs looking down on us, we'll show them this time!" Lin Dongxue said angrily.
