"Looks like my luck … is pretty good!"
Bu Haoling murmured, rubbing his nose as he looked at Li Pengfei, who was groaning on the ground.
Previously, he had thought that encountering Wei Qingxuan was just bad luck. Instead, he envied Li Pengfei's good luck. Now, he knew that he was lucky.
Of course, only Bu Haoling thought that he was lucky. He only saw Li Pengfei being beaten up badly by Ye Xing. He didn't understand why Li Pengfei was beaten up so badly by Ye Xing.
If Li Pengfei treated Ye Xing the way Bu Haoling treated Wei Qingxuan, even if he lost, he wouldn't have ended up like this.
"This kid is not ordinary." A Martial Saint teacher from Zi Yang College narrowed his eyes and said.
"Hehe … Shi Gaozhi, so what if he's not ordinary? Even if he's a Martial Saint Destiny genius, he can only die after offending Young Master Zhen!"
Another Martial Saint teacher from Zi Yang College said calmly, his eyes sharp.
"Hehe … that's true. Ma Yuanji, who do you think will get first place?" Shi Gaozhi asked.
"Who cares who gets first place? What does that have to do with me …"
Ma Yuanji smiled disdainfully, but he still spoke his own judgment. "It's extremely difficult for a seventh-level to challenge an eighth-level. Ye Xing and Wei Qingxuan were able to defeat an eighth-level middle stage. I don't believe that they can defeat someone at the peak of the eighth-level."
Ma Yuanji naturally meant that Ren Xiuwu, who was at the peak of the eighth-level, would get first place.
Shi Gaozhi smiled and said, "I'm a person who believes in miracles. I think Ren Xiuwu definitely won't be able to get first place. Between Ye Xing and Wei Qingxuan, at least one of them will defeat him, or even both of them."
"Tsk —!" Ma Yuanji smiled disdainfully.
…
Ye Xing, Wei Qingxuan, and Ren Xiuwu naturally didn't know what the two Martial Saints from Zi Yang College thought. After the fourth round ended, they quickly began the fifth round.
The fifth round was the last round. The first, second, and third place would be decided directly. There would be two battles for the time being.
In the previous round, Ren Xiuwu had a bye, so he had the greatest advantage. In this round, he would naturally be at a disadvantage. He would have to fight in the first two battles arranged by the academy.
The first match was between Ren Xiuwu and Wei Qingxuan.
The second match was between Ren Xiuwu and Ye Xing.
If Ren Xiuwu won both rounds, or lost both rounds, then there would be a third round. Ye Xing and Wei Qingxuan would compete for first, second, or third place.
If Ren Xiuwu's two rounds ended in a tie, then there was no need to compete in the third round. After the examination ended, the one who was qualified to be Xiuwu would be first, Ren Xiuwu would be second, and the one who lost to Ren Xiuwu would naturally be third.
The first match soon began. Ren Xiuwu and Wei Qingxuan both went up.
Ren Xiuwu was nineteen years old this year. At such a young age, he was already at the peak of the eighth level. From this, one could see that his aptitude was at the top among the eight-star Heavenly Mandate geniuses.
There were more than ten eight-star Heavenly Mandates in the advanced class. They were around the same age as Ren Xiuwu, but none of them could be compared to him in terms of cultivation. They were all one or two levels lower.
Thus, Ren Xiuwu had always been recognized as the number one genius in the academy.
But today, he had to compete with two seventh-level Grandmasters for first place. Moreover, they were students who had only been in the academy for three months. This made his title seem a little low.
Thus, Ren Xiuwu was very unhappy in his heart. In these two battles, it was natural for him to win, but if he lost, it would be a joke. How could he be happy?
"Senior Brother Ren." Wei Qingxuan first nodded at Ren Xiuwu.
Although her face was covered with a veil, her eyes revealed her emotions. She was as calm as when facing everyone else.
Ren Xiuwu's face was filled with arrogance as he nodded at Wei Qingxuan.
Wei Qingxuan had many fans in the Zishan Academy. Ren Xiuwu's arrogant attitude made many students unhappy.
Especially the freshmen!
"Do your best! Senior Sister Wei! "
"Defeat him! Senior Sister Wei, I support you!"
…
Some fanatics suddenly shouted again. Waves of voices came one after another, which made Ren Xiuwu's face as black as water.
"Shut up!"
Ren Xiuwu angrily rebuked the crowd. The aura of a peak eighth-level Martial Scholar erupted and covered the surroundings. Immediately, the freshmen who were shouting trembled and didn't dare to make a sound.
However, this action made the freshmen even more unhappy. In their hearts, they hoped that Wei Qingxuan would defeat Ren Xiuwu.
Ren Xiuwu looked at Wei Qingxuan with arrogance. At the same time, he didn't forget to glance at Ye Xing outside the arena.
"When there is no tiger in the mountain, the monkey can be the overlord. With a tiger like me here, you two monkeys can forget about getting first place. Come on, I'll show you the true strength of a Martial Dao Master!"
Ye Xing's lips curled up slightly. This Ren Xiuwu was really arrogant. He saw himself as a tiger, but Ye Xing didn't think so.
Just like in Tiancang City, Ye Xing only saw Wei Qingxuan as his opponent.
Wei Qingxuan, like Ye Xing, only saw Ye Xing as her opponent. The others, even if they were as strong as Ren Xiuwu, were just targets to be surpassed quickly.
Ren Xiuwu's arrogance made Wei Qingxuan very unhappy. Her voice was much colder. "I'll defeat you in ten moves!"
Hiss —
Sounds of people sucking in cold air could be heard.
Even though all the new students hoped that Wei Qingxuan could win, they didn't think that she would be able to defeat Ren Xiuwu in ten moves. When they heard this, they were all shocked.
Ren Xiuwu was furious. He was so angry that he laughed. The inner strength in his body surged and the surrounding wind started to spin around him. It seemed to form an aura field.
In the middle of Ren Xiuwu's palms, there was a ball of bright light. That was a terrifying energy formed by pure inner strength.
"Supreme-Grade Martial Art — Origin Restoration Force!" A student who knew what it was immediately exclaimed.
This was the martial art on the fourth floor of the library. Ren Xiuwu was the number one genius in the academy and was the number one in his batch. He was given special permission to learn supreme-grade martial arts. Moreover, he was personally taught by the vice principal, Li Xiaoran, and was accepted as a disciple by Li Xiaoran.
Origin Restoration Force was a martial art that combined cultivation and combat. Its specialty was that the inner strength was vigorous and could refine everything. When the powerful inner strength circulated, it would form an aura field around it. With the absolute power of the inner strength, it would sweep across all directions.
However, in the face of Ren Xiuwu's Origin Restoration Force, Wei Qingxuan was not afraid at all. She took the initiative to attack.
Wei Qingxuan used the Wind Stepping Technique. It was as if there was wind under her feet. She was incomparably fast and in a flash, she appeared in front of Ren Xiuwu.
"Come!" Ren Xiuwu shouted and sent a palm towards Wei Qingxuan.
The ball of bright light in the middle of his palm instantly exploded and turned into a wave of inner strength ripples. It continuously attacked Wei Qingxuan.
Wei Qingxuan's hands twined and twisted. They were so soft that they seemed boneless. In the blink of an eye, the surging inner strength ripples were twisted into nothingness.
Middle-grade Martial Art — Coiling Snake Hands!
The Coiling Snake Hands was similar to the Soft Bone Palm. Its goal was to dissolve the opponent's attack. Furthermore, the Soft Bone Palm's attack was merged into one, while the Coiling Snake Hands was purely used to dissolve the opponent's attack. Its effect was better.
In Ren Xiuwu's eyes, Wei Qingxuan's two arms had turned into two giant snakes that were waving around. These two giant snakes were really too big. It was as if they were connecting the heavens and earth. In front of these two giant snakes, he seemed so small.
This caused Ren Xiuwu to be greatly shocked. His expression suddenly changed and his momentum was greatly reduced.
On the other hand, Wei Qingxuan's two arms continuously twisted around. Every time she waved, a large portion of Ren Xiuwu's vigorous inner strength was dissolved.
This caused the two balls of inner strength in Ren Xiuwu's palms and the surrounding inner strength aura field to gradually weaken.
The first move!
The second move!
The third move!
…
Wei Qingxuan only used the Coiling Snake Hands. One move after another, Ren Xiuwu's momentum and inner strength were weakened layer by layer. Every time Ren Xiuwu attacked, he was unable to hurt Wei Qingxuan's inner strength. Instead, he was constantly shocked and kept retreating.
When Wei Qingxuan used the seventh move, the inner strength aura field around Ren Xiuwu was completely destroyed by the Coiling Snake Hands. The two balls of inner strength in Ren Xiuwu's palms also completely dissipated. His entire person looked dispirited, as if an immortal had been beaten down to the mortal world.
Middle-grade martial arts technique — Roaring Tiger Fist!
After dissolving Ren Xiuwu's Returning Origin Force, Wei Qingxuan immediately changed her martial arts technique and used the Roaring Tiger Fist.
As she threw out a punch, the sound of a tiger's roar shook the surroundings. Her boxing technique was superb. An incomparably huge tiger appeared in front of Ren Xiuwu's eyes and pounced over, causing his heart to tremble.
In such a state, Ren Xiuwu was completely unable to display his strength. Even if his cultivation was at the peak of Lv 8 and his body's inner strength was vigorous, he was still not Wei Qingxuan's opponent.
The first punch!
The second punch!
Ren Xiuwu only managed to block Wei Qingxuan's punch before he was punched in the chest by Wei Qingxuan.
Bang — —
This heavy punch instantly dispersed the inner strength in Ren Xiuwu's body. His chest suddenly felt a sharp pain and his body involuntarily flew backwards.
After flying for more than ten meters, Ren Xiuwu landed on the ground. Then, he took another eight or nine steps back before the terrifying force in his body dissipated.
Blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth. He had a shocked expression. He never thought that Wei Qingxuan would be able to injure him with just the ninth move when she said that she would defeat him in ten moves.
At this moment, Ren Xiuwu was too ashamed to show his face.
"Do you still want to fight? Senior Brother Ren! "Wei Qingxuan did not continue to attack. Instead, she stopped in the distance and asked.
Ren Xiuwu was conflicted. If he admitted defeat like this, then Wei Qingxuan's claim of defeating him in ten moves was true. This would obviously cause him to lose face.
However, he also knew that even if he continued to fight, he was not Wei Qingxuan's opponent. Moreover, if he continued to fight, the result would not be as simple as the current injury.
If he was seriously injured by Wei Qingxuan, how could he fight with Ye Xing?
Losing to Wei Qingxuan was already embarrassing enough. If he lost to Ye Xing, then his reputation as the school's number one genius would be completely lost.
"I must conserve my strength. I lost to the first person, but I must not lose to the second person!" Ren Xiuwu thought.
To conserve his strength, he must admit defeat to Wei Qingxuan. With Ren Xiuwu's arrogant character, he could not say the words "I lost".
Ren Xiuwu did not reply to Wei Qingxuan's words. Instead, he turned around and left the arena. Although he did not admit defeat, he had admitted defeat with his actions.
In an instant, the square was filled with thunderous cheers.
