Nie Tian and the others entered the martial arena and found a remote location, quietly waiting for the freshmen martial gathering to begin.
Nie Tian did not want to be in the limelight. Although the feeling of being the center of attention was not bad, he knew that on the path of martial arts, it was not about being the center of attention. Moreover, he had to continuously move forward, even if no one was paying attention to him, he had to be firm on his own path, never stopping.
Only in this way, could he go further.
A moment later, important figures appeared in the martial arena one after another.
Blue Tyrant Academy's Vice Principal Fan Jinwu sat in the main seat of the martial arena, his eyes sharp, like a quiet lion.
For the freshmen martial gathering, some of the important forces and figures of Blue Cloud City would also be invited.
This time, the person from the Alchemist Association who came to support was none other than Zhang Yifeng.
On the royal family's side, the person who appeared this time was the commander of the imperial guards, Qin Yetian.
Besides being the commander of the imperial guards, Qin Yetian had another identity, Qin Yuhu's father. At the same time, he was also Lan Bingye's uncle.
As for the Blue Cloud Commerce, they did not send anyone, they rarely participated in these matters.
Besides the people from the Alchemist Association and the royal family, other large clans, small academies, and small sects also sent people to observe.
Tyrant Cloud Academy's freshmen martial gathering, without any exaggeration, gathered the most talented youths of Blue Cloud Empire.
After the various people arrived, they all took their seats.
Zhang Yifeng sat on the lower left side of Fan Jinwu, facing Qin Yetian who sat on the lower right side.
Qin Yetian looked to be around forty years old, tall and sturdy, with a resolute expression, giving people a very tough feeling.
"Master Zhang, I heard that you recently acknowledged a teacher, it seems to be a teenager, is that true?" Qin Yetian looked at Zhang Yifeng with a profound gaze, although his tone was calm, the ridicule in his words was very obvious.
Zhang Yifeng's reaction was very cold, indifferently saying, "This is my own matter, it has nothing to do with Commander Qin."
Regarding the grudge between Nie Tian and the Qin Clan, as well as the bet between Jin Dabao and Qin Yuhu, Zhang Yifeng had also heard of it. But he was very confident in Nie Tian, and in his heart, he had a faint feeling that acknowledging Nie Tian as his teacher was very possibly the best decision he had ever made.
"Haha." Qin Yetian laughed loudly and said: "It seems like the rumor is true, Master Zhang really took that stinky brat as his master. This kind of thing is really an eye-opener. "
Qin Yetian had long heard of Nie Tian's name. Furthermore, Nie Tian had castrated his third son, Qin Yulang, and even injured Qin Yuhu.
But since the beginning, Qin Yetian hadn't taken Nie Tian seriously, and he felt that the latter was only an ant. Only after confirming the relationship between Zhang Yifeng and Nie Tian did Qin Yetian truly view Nie Tian as an enemy worthy of his attention.
"Governor Qin!" Zhang Yifeng's eyes suddenly turned cold and he said coldly, "You insulted my master in front of me. Are you looking down on me?"
Qin Yetian was stunned. He did not expect Zhang Yifeng to have such a big reaction. From the looks of it, he was really going to turn hostile.
"Master Zhang, don't be angry. Governor Qin did not mean it." Fan Jinwu saw that the situation was getting out of hand and quickly persuaded.
Qin Yetian's face stiffened but he still said: "I spoke too quickly. If I have offended you in any way, I hope Master Zhang is magnanimous enough to forgive me."
Zhang Yifeng was a third-ranked alchemist and a young genius. His status in the Alchemist Association was very high. Even Qin Yetian did not dare to offend him.
Zhang Yifeng snorted coldly and said: "If Governor Qin speaks rudely again, don't blame this master for turning hostile."
After that, Zhang Yifeng no longer cared about Qin Yetian.
Qin Yetian and Fan Jinwu exchanged glances but did not dare to say anything.
A moment later, Tyrant Cloud Academy's freshmen martial meet officially began.
The 180 freshmen were divided into four groups.
Each group would decide on two experts to advance to the finals.
Very quickly, Nie Tian received his participation token, number 1 of the first group.
Coincidentally, Qiu Ling 'er was also in the first group, number 30.
"Big Brother Nie Tian, when the two of us fight later, you have to go easy on me." Qiu Ling 'er held the token and giggled.
She was gradually getting familiar with Nie Tian and was no longer as shy as before.
Nie Tian smiled faintly. He did not say yes or no.
He was determined to become the Newcomer King. If he met Qiu Ling 'er, he could go easy on her, but he would never let her win.
"Preliminary round, first match of the first group, number 1, versus number 13." On the stage, a grey-robed martial artist announced the first match.
Nie Tian was slightly stunned. He did not expect that he would be the first to fight.
Nie Tian did not hesitate. After greeting the crowd, he strode over and stepped onto the stage.
"Nie Tian!" Standing on the raised platform, Fan Jinwu's eyes lit up as soon as he saw Nie Tian, and his expression stiffened.
"Oh? Dean Fan, you know Nie Tian too? "Qin Yetian rolled his eyes and asked in surprise.
"Mr. Nie is Master Zhang's teacher. He is now a famous person in Blue Cloud City. Who doesn't know him?" Fan Jinwu smiled stiffly. His expression did not change much, but his heart was in turmoil.
Fan Jinwu already knew that Qiu Shan had returned and that Nie Tian and Qiu Shan had a close relationship.
Fan Jinwu was the culprit who had framed Qiu Shan back then. The two were mortal enemies. Therefore, Fan Jinwu had unknowingly regarded Nie Tian as an enemy as well.
"Oh." Qin Yetian nodded slightly, but he did not want to let it go. His eyes flashed and he smiled. "I heard that your younger brother, Mr. Fan Jinzhi, once wanted to teach Nie Tian a lesson but was stopped by Dean Qi. Is that true?"
Fan Jinwu's expression stiffened. A murderous glint flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared. He laughed dryly. "It's just a rumor. Jinzhi is a man of status. How could he fight with someone else so easily? "
"Hehe, that's true." Qin Yetian laughed. "This commander also thinks that Mr. Fan Jinzhi's status is extraordinary. He would definitely disdain to attack someone of unknown status."
"En." Fan Jinwu nodded. His gaze turned to Nie Tian, who was on the stage. His chest became more and more stuffy.
Zhang Yifeng listened to the conversation between the two, but he did not say anything.
When Nie Tian stepped onto the stage, he immediately attracted everyone's attention. They did not expect to see the battle of a famous figure in the first round. They could not help but look forward to it.
"Nie Tian, this prince wants to see just what kind of ability you have. You dare to fight with this prince for the Newcomer King title. You really don't know how to write the word death. "Below the stage, Lan Bingye coldly stared at Nie Tian and said in his heart.
On the other side, there was also a gaze locked onto Nie Tian.
Lan Bingchen was hidden in the crowd, looking at Nie Tian from afar. His lips curled into a faint smile as he said in his heart, "Nie Tian, don't disappoint this prince. Anyone can be the Newcomer King, but not Lan Bingye. "
Lan Bingchen and Lan Bingye, the two brothers, had completely different thoughts at this moment.
These two were brothers on the surface, but in reality, they were mortal enemies who had yet to shed all pretenses of cordiality.
The reason why Lan Bingchen wanted to become Nie Tian's disciple was to borrow Nie Tian's strength.
