One day later, it was finally the day of Jun Xie's match. After witnessing the Zephyr Academy's great comeback, no one dared to underestimate anyone from the Zephyr Academy. Even Jun Xie, who was the youngest among them, had become a highly capable youth in their eyes.
However …..
In Jun Xie's first match, he met with an unexpected mishap.
On the day of the match, Jun Xie had already walked to the centre of the battle arena but Lin Qi had not appeared for a long time. The spectating youths were all eagerly anticipating Lin Qi from the Dragon Slayers Academy to fight against Jun Xie. They already knew the strength of the other five from the Zephyr Academy and were highly curious about the youngest Jun Xie.
Time ticked by and everyone searched the entire arena but did not see any sign of Lin Qi. The man in charge of judging the match kept looking towards the entrance of the battle arena but did not see the other contestant appear.
It was not until two whole hours later that the next pair of contestants had to be replaced.
In the Spirit Battle Tournament, no one was allowed to drag the time of the match for no reason. If the match went past four hours, it was equivalent to forfeiting the match!
Lin Qi had not appeared in the past four hours and according to the judgement of the Spirit Battle Tournament, Lin Qi had automatically forfeited the right to participate in the tournament.
The situation puzzled everyone. In the previous matches, the Zephyr Academy's disciples had indeed performed astoundingly well and they did not dare to underestimate Jun Xie anymore. But ….. Lin Qi was a disciple of the Dragon Slayers Academy after all. Wasn't it a little too much to think about for him to run away without putting up a fight?
Towards Lin Qi's forfeit, Jun Xie did not mind it too much. He just retreated and left the battle arena. Without even having to exchange any blows, he had already won.
The first round of the Spirit Battle Tournament ended quickly and Hua Yao and the others continued to crush their opponents. But the situation on Jun Xie's side was getting stranger and stranger.
The youth who had fought against him in the second round had come from an unknown and small academy. But on the day of the match, that person had suddenly asked his companion to bring the news that he had forfeited the match. And when the person who brought the news saw Jun Xie, his eyes had shown a trace of fear.
The first time had been an accident and the second time had been a coincidence.
But when the third round began and Jun Xie's opponent chose to forfeit again, the atmosphere suddenly became very strange!
It was true that the Zephyr Academy had risen to prominence, but the youngest contestant in their group had been continuously receiving forfeits from his opponents. That made people feel that it was rather suspicious. It must be known that not a single person had forfeited in the other battle zones, but Jun Xie's group had already seen three people do so!
If people were to say that they were afraid of the Zephyr Academy's current tyrannical might, then even if they wanted to avoid them, they would at least avoid Qiao Chu and the others. Jun Xie was afterall still very young and even if it seemed to others that he was more outstanding than the disciples from the other academies, there would still be a limit to how much he could achieve and the situation should not be so exaggerated.
Just as everyone was feeling puzzled, a piece of news suddenly spread among the various academies.
Rumour had it that the reason why Jun Xie's opponents had chosen to forfeit one after another was because before the matches had started, the Yan Country's Crown Prince, Lei Chen, had privately approached them, and had threatened and bribed them, to make them forfeit their matches against Jun Xie!
When this news came out, everyone was shocked!
