"Thank … … Thank you … …" Yan Qingcheng said unnaturally.
Zhou Yang shook his head and said, "Previously, I didn't mean to peep at you. I only wanted to pluck the earthroot grass. But no matter what the reason was, I was in the wrong. Now that I've helped you, we're even. In the future, we don't owe each other anything."
Yan Qingcheng's eyes flickered. Previously, she thought that Zhou Yang wanted to take advantage of her misfortune. She didn't expect that Zhou Yang would actually save her life. This was the first time she felt ashamed.
"Okay."
After thinking for a while, Yan Qingcheng finally spat out a word. But Zhou Yang knew that at least she wouldn't ask him to leave the mountain anymore.
This was enough. He didn't want anything in return. He didn't even want to have anything to do with this girl.
Looking at Zhou Yang who left without saying a word, Yan Qingcheng's eyes were filled with doubt.
As the number one beauty of the Institute of Martial Arts, she was very clear that if it was an ordinary person, they might not be able to control themselves and force themselves on her. Even if they didn't do that, they would still take the opportunity to befriend her. But Zhou Yang seemed to want nothing more than to cut all ties with her.
What made her even more puzzled was Zhou Yang's strength.
"To be able to suppress my Astral Soul with my true qi, he should at least be a high-grade Earth Aura. But why does he want to hide it from the world … …"
The rain didn't stop until a ray of light appeared in the dark night sky.
Early in the morning, the sunlight penetrated through the thick fog and woke Zhou Yang up from his cultivation.
The sky was clear after the rain. A rainbow hung above the main peak. Zhou Yang glanced at Yan Qingcheng who was standing under the rainbow and walked towards the New Star Challenge Platform.
The news had already spread throughout the Institute of Martial Arts three days ago. At this moment, the Institute of Martial Arts was filled with people.
"Look, it's senior brother Ding Yizhen. Isn't that Yun Shaokong beside him? As expected, his hand was injured by Zhou Yang. It's still bandaged."
"This Zhou Yang is really ruthless. He actually dared to injure Yun Shaokong. In the future, when Yun Shaokong rises, Zhou Yang will definitely die."
"In the future? You're thinking too much. Didn't you hear? Zhou Yang said that if he lost today, he would commit suicide. there won't be a future."
As the crowd discussed, Ding Yizhen also walked onto the stage.
"Everyone, a few days ago, I obtained the status of a new star on the New Star Challenge Platform. Today, I will once again avenge my younger brother. Although it is embarrassing to be on the Glory Platform with such a person, I must avenge my younger brother."
Ding Yizhen's righteous words quickly won the praise of the crowd. After the praises from the crowd, Ding Yizhen looked around the stage and said, "Zhou Yang, I know you're here. Come on up, I've already prepared something for you."
With that, Ding Yizhen took out a rope from her bosom.
"This rope is my brother's coffin carrying rope. If you want to commit suicide, then use it. There's a thousand-year-old ancient tree there. It's very suitable for you." Ding Yizhen laughed as she spoke. In the end, she even threw her head back and laughed.
"The premise is that you win …"
An indifferent voice came from afar. Everyone stepped aside and turned to look at the source of the voice.
Zhou Yang was still dressed in a gray robe, appearing inconspicuous. There was no trace of nervousness on his face, causing everyone to start whispering to each other.
"Victory is inevitable. I'm just afraid you'll regret it." Ding Yizhen sneered.
"Don't worry, I won't regret it."
Zhou Yang stepped onto the New Star Challenge Platform, but he did not look at Ding Yizhen. Instead, he stared blankly at the snow-white arena.
The New Star Challenge Platform was a place of glory for young people. Once upon a time, he had dreamed of stepping onto the platform and becoming a new star.
Today, he finally stepped onto the platform. However, unlike what he had imagined, he was not challenging a mentor, but a person who had become a new star and wanted to kill him.
However, it did not matter to him who he challenged. What was important was to become a new star, to have a net worth, and to embark on the path of a hot-blooded Emperor.
New star, supernova, vast land, heart of a Great Emperor …
This was the path that a martial artist should take.
"Zhou Yang!"
A shout came from Ding Yizhen's mouth. Ding Yizhen's face was filled with anger. He could see that Zhou Yang was in a daze.
To be in a daze during a duel with him was a form of contempt.
"Let's begin."
After a long time, Zhou Yang suddenly came to his senses and smiled, looking very happy.
Everyone was very surprised. They did not know why Zhou Yang was so happy. Was it because he knew that he was going to die?
"Humph, Zhou Yang, do you think that I will believe you so easily? You are wrong. To ensure that you will not go back on your word, I have specially invited three impartial people to be the judge." Ding Yizhen looked down respectfully after he finished speaking.
Three people walked out from the crowd below.
Zhou family, Zhou Zitao.
Xu family, Xu Yunfei.
Scholar Hall, Wan Zhenyi!
The arrival of Zhou Zitao and Xu Yunfei did not surprise the crowd, but Wan Zhenyi's appearance caused a sensation.
The former two were new stars of the Elite Hall, so it was not surprising that they would be impartial people. However, Wan Zhenyi was a disciple of the Scholar Hall, and an expert ranked third on the Rising Star List. Such a person did not cultivate in the Scholar Hall, but came to the Elite Hall to be an impartial person. What was the reason behind this …
"Zhou Yang is a disciple of the Zhou family, but he is also a disciple of the Institute of Martial Arts. He is a warrior. Since he has made a promise with Ding Yizhen, if he is defeated, he must fulfill his promise and commit suicide. The Zhou family will not pursue the matter," Zhou Zitao looked at the crowd and said.
"That's right. A warrior keeps his word. I, Xu Yunfei, will not allow anyone to break his promise," Xu Yunfei followed up.
Finally, everyone looked at Wan Zhenyi.
Wan Zhenyi looked very indifferent. He yawned lazily and said, "If I lose, I will die. If I win, I will live. It is the same whether I keep my promise or not."
What he meant was that even if Zhou Yang did not keep his promise, they would still force him.
Zhou Yang listened to the words of the three quietly, and looked at Ding Yizhen without any change in his expression. "Are you done?"
"Are you done?"
Facing Ding Yizhen's means, Zhou Yang only said these three words. He was so calm that people did not feel that this was a battle of life and death.
Ding Yizhen's expression was very ugly. He did not know whether Zhou Yang's calmness was fake or he was really not afraid of death. Anyway, he did not believe that Zhou Yang would do it himself.
He was a new star, worth one hundred and fifty thousand yuan. He was one of the 38 most outstanding youths in the whole county.
"Hum …"
The saber flew out of Ding Yizhen's scabbard and landed on his left hand.

"Although this saber is not a Xuan Wu level weapon, it is indeed a treasured saber passed down in the Ding family. All the youths of the Ding family know how to use it. Only when it is stained with the opponent's blood can it be considered as an adult. Today, you are my coming of age ceremony."
