The five students who'd been murderous just a moment ago had become exceptionally obedient in the blink of an eye. They stole furtive glances at Su Tang as they silently squeezed into a corner of the circle.
Five people for one spot. This was very painful. But they didn't dare antagonize Su Tang. Although Ling Ziyan didn't look like much, Su Tang seemed to want to suck up to the Qin family and was obviously trying to protect Ling Ziyan.
Thus, the five of them began fighting in a corner. Su Tang and Ling Ziyan were cast to the side and looked at each other.
The scene of Lu Ping's first match replayed itself. The twelve examiners, starting from the main examiner, Ding Wen, all wore unhappy and awkward expressions.
They'd naturally hoped that more outstanding students would emerge from the gathering, but the strong were too strong. They truly didn't want to see the scene turn out like this.
This scene was too utilitarian, too tacky.
What displeased them even more was that the students from the Gorge Peak district had an overwhelming advantage in these three groups. The students from the Zhiling district appeared weak and fragile in front of them. Even Wu Shen, a famous and outstanding student from the Zhiling district, had forfeited after a single exchange.
The more famous the gathering, the better. It would be best if it could become a gathering that all the academies on the continent would compete to participate in. But at the same time, they were also affected by their region. As the host of the Zhiling area, the gathering had always been the most influential in this district. They still hoped that the students of the Zhiling area could hold their heads high.
This had always been the case for so many years. More and more students from other districts had come to the Zhiling area to participate in the gathering, but the ones in the limelight had always been the local students of the Zhiling area, especially the Amaterasu and Bipolar Academies.
But now, this satisfactory situation had been shattered. Although there was still a long way to go before the final results, Lu Ping, Wei Tianqi, and Su Tang, the three students from the Peak of the Gorge Area, dominated the first, second, and third groups. Their performances were already dazzling enough.
The examiners weren't very willing to see such a scene, but they couldn't influence it. Those were the rules. Even if it was them, they could not go forward and order the five students to challenge Su Tang.
The five students fought for a long time. Su Tang and Ling Ziyan felt lonely and embarrassed. This group of matches ended just like that. The five students fought fiercely for the only spot. The examiner intervened four times and saved four people. The one who won in the end looked even more miserable than the four who had been eliminated. His body was covered with injuries. It looked like it could collapse at any moment. What was even more pitiful was that he couldn't feel happy even though he had won so tragically. With a huge mountain like Su Tang pressing down on them, all the victories felt like they were picked up from the ground.
"Winners …" The examiner announced the names and academies of the three contestants one by one. It was obvious that he was a little disinterested. But why would Su Tang care about him? Before the examiner could announce her name, she had already left the stage happily. When the examiner called "Zhenfeng College, Su Tang", Su Tang and Lu Ping were already talking and laughing. When he heard his name called, he didn't even turn his head. He raised his hand as he walked.
This attitude made the examiners a little angry. They won here. At least they had entered the Soul Point List. For many people, this was already a step that they yearned for even in their dreams. But these two from Zhenfeng College won too easily. They didn't even feel happy. The examiners only felt that the Soul Point Assembly was given the cold shoulder.
"It seems like Zhenfeng College really doesn't know what respect is!" An examiner said with a dark face. His voice wasn't loud, but it was enough for everyone to hear.
The school flag wrote "Surpass the Big Four". In everyone's eyes, this was disrespecting the Big Four. Now, they had such a disapproving attitude towards the Soul Point Assembly. In everyone's eyes, they didn't respect the Big Four. In their eyes, Zhenfeng College was simply arrogant without any bottom line.
When Lu Ping and Su Tang heard this, they both turned their heads. But before they could say anything. A crisp "pa" sound came from the Soul Point Platform. It immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Ling Ziyan dropped her hands and lowered her head. One side of her face quickly turned red. Qin Sang, who was in front of her, didn't even look at her. She didn't even say anything. She just used her slap to tell Ling Ziyan that she was very dissatisfied with her performance just now.
The Examiner's provocation towards the Zhai Feng Academy had been interrupted by Qin Sang's slap, but they had never expected that this slap would instead provoke an even greater reaction from Su Tang. She had been about to walk back to her seat. She was about to walk back when she turned around and rushed to Qin Sang and Ling Ziyan.
"What are you doing?" Su Tang directly rebuked Qin Sang. Everyone was taken aback. Her protection of Ling Ziyan in the Soul Point Contest made everyone think that she was showing goodwill to the Qin family. Many people were envious of her for having such an opportunity.
But after steadily escorting Ling Ziyan to the next round, what Ling Ziyan got was a slap from Qin Sang. This made many people who were jealous of Su Tang burst with joy. It seemed that the proud and arrogant Miss of the Qin family simply disdained such a show of goodwill. Ling Ziyan accepted such kindness. In her eyes, it was extremely shameful.
This flattery had hit the nail on the head!
These sinister guys were secretly delighted. But unexpectedly, Su Tang rushed back and questioned Qin Sang sternly. It didn't look like she was trying to curry favor with the Qin family, right?
Qin Sang was stunned.
Like many people, she also thought that Su Tang's protection of Ling Ziyan was aimed at the Qin family. This kind of behavior really disgusted her. The slap she gave Ling Ziyan was mostly because of this. As a result, Su Tang rushed back in an instant and questioned her sternly. His attitude made Qin Sang a little absent-minded. But no matter what, with her character, how could she give in?
"I'm teaching my own girl a lesson. It's none of your business, right?" Qin Sang's face was as cold as frost.
"It's not right to hit people casually." A voice came from behind Su Tang. Su Tang rushed back. Of course, Lu Ping quickly followed. He was not as angry as Su Tang, and his words were quite calm. It was just that the contents of his words were really hard to come back to. This was a group of practitioners having a Soul Point Conference. On the Soul Point Platform, where duels and even life and death were fought for thousands of years, suddenly a person came over and told you "it's not right to hit people". No matter how you thought about it, it seemed like a joke.
But Lu Ping's expression was very serious. Hitting people was not right. It was certainly true. This reason was so simple that it could only be used to teach children. In a mature world, one thing was mixed with too much cause and effect. It couldn't be explained with one or two simple reasons. Trying to do so was undoubtedly a very childish move.
Lu Ping seemed to be very childish. He pointed out such a simple reason for children to listen to to Miss of the Qin family.
