There is always a solution to a problem

As Huanchu Yu's words fell, a hint of seriousness appeared on the faces of the crowd.

They understood what Huanchu Yu meant. The possibility of a disastrous outcome was not small, and they couldn't afford to be too optimistic.

"We understand," they nodded. They would prepare themselves mentally.

Although they didn't know what plans Lingyin Academy and Beihai Academy had in mind, they had to face the situation as it came.

Having seen the determination in their students, Huanchu Yu felt relieved. He was most worried that the students would go to the competition with great enthusiasm but have their confidence shattered in the end.

This kind of situation had happened before.

As cultivators, self-confidence was crucial. If their confidence was destroyed, and they began to doubt the path they were on, the situation would be terrible.

"Go back and prepare yourselves. We will depart for Qingxiao Nation in three days."

"Yes!"

The group left the principal's office with complex emotions. Each person was lost in thought, uncertain about what they would encounter next.

"In my opinion, Lingyin Academy and Beihai Academy are jealous of us. That's why they proposed this academy exchange competition—to dampen our spirits," Xia Zhiqing voiced her opinion.

Dongfang Yu nodded slightly. "Among the three major academies, Lingyin Academy and Beihai Academy have joined forces to suppress our academy."

"We need to be cautious. Since they suddenly proposed the academy exchange competition, they must be confident in their victory," Gong Shaoqing's expression grew heavy. "The challenge we face on this journey is substantial."

In simple terms, Lingyin Academy and Beihai Academy couldn't tolerate the prominence of Canglan Academy. They wanted to crush them in the academy exchange competition.

In doing so, Canglan Academy's momentum would be suppressed, and many aspiring cultivators who had come with high expectations would turn to them instead.

"We will face the challenge boldly. Since we have no other choice, we'll confront them head-on and respond accordingly," Bai Li Hongzhuang said with a faint smile. Her dazzling phoenix eyes radiated confidence.

Excessive worry was futile in such situations. In the end, they would only be competing against students from two other academies.

If it was a fair battle and they lost, it would simply mean their opponents were more skilled.

But if the opposing side resorted to underhanded tactics, she would not let them off easily once she discovered it.

After hearing Bai Li Hongzhuang's words, the originally anxious group of people felt a sudden relaxation in their mood.

Indeed, worrying excessively now was pointless. It would be better to focus on improving their strength during this process, gaining an extra ounce of confidence for the upcoming competition.

Bai Li Hongzhuang returned to her room and began preparing the items they might need. Last time, she had purchased a lot of medicinal materials from Ji Wenbin, so she took the opportunity to prepare some things.

Some items may not be needed in daily life, but they could play a decisive role in critical moments.

Just like when they dealt with Yi Hucheng, it was better to be prepared.

In the remaining two days, Bai Li Hongzhuang dedicated her time to cultivating in the training tower.

After this period of seclusion, she was not far from breaking through to the second stage of the Crimson Realm.

Since they would be heading to Qingxiao Nation soon, she wanted to break through to the second stage of the Crimson Realm as early as possible. Having more strength meant having more confidence.

Not only Bai Li Hongzhuang but also Gong Shaoqing and the others focused their time on the training tower.
