"There is, to decide a winner or loser in advance, which ans we have to fight a match to get a result ahead of ti. Once we understand, we don’t have to fight, at least not today." Yan Yuchu patiently explained.
"What exactly do you an?" Han Yan was getting more and more confused.
"Actually, here’s the thing..." Yan Yuchu lowered his voice and started explaining tirelessly.
"This... this... you are really too despicable, too shaless." After listening to Yan Yuchu’s words, Han Yan looked shocked and disdainful, as if she had never seen Yan Yuchu like that.
"Alright, if you think it’s too despicable and shaless, then just pretend I was never here." Yan Yuchu said helplessly.
"No need, no need, this idea is still pretty good, just as you said, after all, it’s you being despicable and shaless, not ." Han Yan said with a beaming smile.
"I have always wondered how I beca so despicable and shaless. Now, I seem to understand." Yan Yuchu looked deeply at Han Yan and said thoughtfully. Then, before Han Yan could react, he drifted away.
Leaving Han Yan standing there in disarray, her heart even more chaotic. She spat, and said, "Hey, you stop right there, explain yourself. What did you an just now? How does it concern if you are so despicable and shaless? What do you an by looking at like that, young master? Are you blaming for your inherent despicableness? At most, I just brought out your true nature, but can innate despicability and acquired despicability be mixed together?"
The night passed in a hurry.
When sunlight pierced through the darkness and spilled across the earth, the entire Long Yan Academy boiled over once more. Today, the strongest two among the freshn would be decided, even many disciples in seclusion had co out early, and so training outside had returned ahead of ti.
The enormous square was packed with people, everyone’s face filled with excitent and anticipation, and the sound of discussions was unending.
Han Yan and Jiang Qiling, along with Yue Fanchen and Yan Yuchu, each stood in one of the four directions under the competition platform, sizing each other up, their gazes colliding and occasionally sparking fierce flas.
Yan Yuchu aside, the other three had all hidden their strengths in previous matches, but in today’s battle, they would likely have little room to hold back and would finally showcase their strongest abilities in front of everyone!
"First match, Yue Fanchen versus Jiang Qiling!" The tutor’s voice echoed throughout the venue.
After a brief silence, shouts started to erupt, one wave higher than the next.
Although Yue Fanchen was from Shangyue Country, and Jiang Qiling, the Little Witch Long Yan, was infamous and usually unwelco, their battle still earned everyone’s respect, as they were both strong.
"It was indeed a fifty percent chance, I really encountered Yan Yuchu," Han Yan couldn’t help but recall Yan Yuchu’s words from the previous night, smiling secretly.
Then, she turned her gaze to the competition platform. Her match with Yan Yuchu actually didn’t hold much suspense, but the match between Jiang Qiling and Yue Fanchen was of greater importance to her. This was the best opportunity to see their true strength and anticipate their moves.
Amidst the shouts, Yue Fanchen and Jiang Qiling leaped onto the high platform from the south and north sides respectively.
"My opponent is not you, concede now, and you can still keep so face and walk back to Shangyue Country yourself." Jiang Qiling still looked like a proud little hen, her head held high, arrogantly speaking.
"That’s what I wanted to say to you," Yue Fanchen smiled slightly, possessing the unique elegance of a royal family mber, but his pride was no less.
"Alright then, since you’re asking for it, go ahead." Jiang Qiling coldly smiled, pulling out her sword slowly.
"I wanted to save my full strength for Han Yan, but fine, your strength isn’t weak, so I’ll let you see my true strength first." Yue Fanchen slowly drew out his longsword, his left hand forming a peculiar sword formation.
A subtle and eerie aura slowly enveloped his body.
To others, it might be difficult to detect this subtle aura, but it couldn’t escape Han Yan’s keen Six Senses.
This aura was very similar to the one that appeared when Long Ya perford those hand gestures, but it was more just and peaceful, making Han Yan feel even more terrified.
It seems, Yue Fan Chen wasn’t speaking empty words. In this battle, he indeed planned to display his strongest ultimate skill!
"Still using this move, so you only have this much ability." Jiang Qiling seed oblivious to the mystery within Yue Fanchen’s hand formation, sneering contemptuously.
"Xuantian, Sword Break!" Jiang Qiling swung her sword.
At this mont, it was early morning, originally clear skies, but as Jiang Qiling wielded her sword, the world fell into brief darkness until... that earth-shattering sword pierced through the darkness, bringing light once more.
This sword was so overwhelmingly powerful, so unstoppable, that everyone was shocked by the sheer might of Jiang Qiling’s sword.
This was the true strength of Jiang Qiling.
Han Yan slightly furrowed her eyebrows. Jiang Qiling had exhibited her sixth-rank Sword Master strength to the fullest with this sword, clearly leaving nothing back.
Could it be, she really did not notice the mystery within Yue Fanchen’s hand gestures? Otherwise, there was no reason to go all out without holding back from the start. But with Jiang Qiling’s cunning and strategy, she shouldn’t have acted this way.
"Saint, Sword Dao!" Yue Fanchen also shouted deeply, as the Saint Sword continued to slash out.
The two sword lights collided, causing the entire competition platform to tremble violently.
Yue Fanchen took half a step back, while Jiang Qiling rely swayed a few tis before stabilizing, clearly having a slight advantage.
"Go, Jiang Qiling, send him back to Shangyue!"
"How dare a Sword Master from Shangyue Country co to our Dragon Academy to show off, show him so power." In response, the disciples below cheered loudly, supporting Jiang Qiling.
Though the Little Witch Long Yan had a bad reputation, facing an external enemy, the academy disciples stood united, directing their arrows outward.
Hearing the cheers from below, Jiang Qiling beca even more spirited, swinging her sword again.
Yue Fanchen did not hesitate for a mont, charging head-on.
With the sound of clashing swords, sparks flying everywhere, the competition platform was filled with surging airwaves, and in the blink of an eye, they had exchanged over a hundred moves.
Though a winner was yet to be determined, Jiang Qiling’s advantage beca increasingly apparent, the power of her sword growing stronger. As the situation tilted, Yue Fanchen began to feel stretched, finding it harder and harder to cope.
Obviously, if this continued, Yue Fanchen wouldn’t last much longer.
The cheers from the audience grew even louder, as if they had already seen the mont Jiang Qiling defeated Yue Fanchen with a single sword, bringing glory to Anyun Country.
No one noticed, Long Ya, Long Dan, and Long Xin, each holding a longsword, watched Jiang Qiling on the competition platform, their eyes showing a relaxed and playful smile, just like watching a mouse being toyed with by cats.
