On the training platform, Huang Yao arrogantly shouted. Now that the matter of the cavern had been exposed, he urgently needed to display his strength to regain his face. However, no matter how much he shouted on the training platform, Gu Qingfeng's figure was nowhere to be seen.
The disciples gathered in the training field were also discussing spiritedly. They felt that Gu Qingfeng must be too scared to come up. Just as everyone was discussing, someone shouted.
"Look, Gu Qingfeng is here!"
Everyone looked over and saw two people walking towards the training platform.
One was a short fatty with a big head and big ears. Everyone knew him. He was the inner court deacon Féquy.
The other person looked to be in his early twenties. He had a tall and straight figure and wore a white robe. He did not have the vigor of a young man, only the dusk of dusk. He slowly walked over with a calm expression. His brows were slightly furrowed, and his eyes were squinted. He looked at the crowd with a helpless expression.
Who else could it be but Gu Qingfeng?
When he appeared, everyone's gaze fell on him without exception. There were all kinds of gazes. Some were watching the show, some were disdainful, some were angry, some were unhappy, some were worried, and some were shocked.
Those who were watching the show were naturally the disciples present.
The ones who were disdainful were naturally Daoist Flying Snow and Tan Siru.
The ones who were angry were Li Sen, Li Can, Yun Hong, Ye Hui, and the others. They had all been beaten by Gu Qingfeng before, and this hatred had always been etched in their hearts. Now that they saw Gu Qingfeng, they naturally hated him to the core.
"Third Brother, he is Gu Qingfeng!"
Li Sen stared at him. He wanted nothing more than to rush over and tear this person who took away his beloved and humiliated him into a thousand pieces.
"He doesn't look like anything special." Li Zheng's face darkened. His pair of eyes stared at Gu Qingfeng like a poisonous snake. "However, since he dares to go against the Li Clan, I will make him pay the price."
On the high platform, the Outer Core Elder Li Ziheng and the Immortal Guangyuan were also looking at Gu Qingfeng unhappily. Last time when Li Sen was beaten up, the two of them went to the Lingyin Garden to settle accounts with Gu Qingfeng. However, they were scolded severely by Huo De. Therefore, the two of them had long been unhappy with Gu Qingfeng.
"If I remember correctly, he's a mutant who failed to build his foundation, right? Why are you here to fight for first place? " Elder Mu De still clearly remembered that more than a month ago, the Scorching Sun Flaming Bird had inexplicably rushed out. He had thought that he had found a genius disciple with a fire spiritual root, but he had never thought that it was a Foundation Establishment trash.
Elder Rende replied, "Junior Apprentice Brother, you may not know this, but although this person failed to build his foundation, his comprehension is exceptional. During the assessment, he cultivated the Flame-Thunder Technique to the Great Circle."
"I see …" Elder Mu De shook his head slightly and said, "What a pity."
However, no one noticed that when Gu Qingfeng appeared, there were three people whose faces were as ugly as they could be. Their expressions were as shocked as they could be. It was as if they had seen a ghost.
The three people were Mu Zibai, Li Qiandong, and Huang Yao, who was on the training platform.
None of the three had forgotten what had happened in the cave a month ago. Even now, they still remembered it clearly. Apart from anger, the three of them were even more fearful. They were deeply fearful of that mysterious man. They would never be able to forget how ferocious that man was.
After the three of them returned, they planned to cultivate in seclusion. After their cultivation improved, they would find that person to settle accounts with.
However, they did not expect that person to be a disciple of Yunxia School. Moreover … Moreover, he was going to participate in the competition for the chief disciple of the Twelve Academies.
When the three of them saw Gu Qingfeng for the first time, they were already panicking, especially Huang Yao, who was standing on the training platform. As Gu Qingfeng got closer and closer to the platform, even his breathing became heavier. It was as if the air had frozen, and only the sound of Gu Qingfeng's footsteps echoed in his mind.
On the platform, Elder Rende announced the start of the challenge.
"Huang Yao, don't go too far. I still have a personal grudge with him that has not been resolved."
Li Zheng stood up and said calmly.
Everyone knew that the personal grudge Li Zheng was talking about was the incident where Gu Qingfeng had injured Li Sen and Li Can. Obviously, he did not want Huang Yao to cripple Gu Qingfeng.
"Aiyaya, Junior Sister, it looks like your sweetheart is very popular …" Tan Siru mocked. "It looks like your sweetheart might not even be able to survive today … Haha …"
Ouyang Ye glared at her. She was extremely annoyed and looked on nervously.
While she was anxiously looking on, the other disciples were also looking forward to seeing what this Gu guy had to be so arrogant. How dare he say that he could defeat the chief disciple of the Twelve Academies with a flick of his finger?
However, after waiting for a while, Huang Yao still did not make a move.
Not only were the disciples in the training field anxious, but the elders on the platform were also getting impatient.
"The challenge has already begun. Huang Yao, what are you waiting for?" Guangyuan Zhenren urged.
"Huang Yao, make a move," Li Ziheng also shouted.
Despite the elders' urging, Huang Yao still did not make a move.
Moreover, he seemed to be … acting strangely.
Huang Yao had been so domineering before, but now, he was frozen in place. His face was pale, and his forehead was covered in sweat. He stared at the platform in horror.
Yes!
Horror.
Was Huang Yao afraid?
How could this be?
Everyone was in disbelief. They did not understand why Huang Yao, who was so arrogant just a moment ago, was so scared. He was so scared that his clothes were soaked in cold sweat. He was so scared that he could not even stand properly. His legs were trembling unnaturally.
Seeing this scene, the elders on the stage looked at each other, their eyes wide and small, their faces full of surprise.
"Huang Yao, what are you afraid of?" Flying Snow frowned and shouted, "Why don't you make a move?"
Make a move?
Huang Yao did not dare to make a move.
He really did not dare to make a move.
One month ago in the abode of immortals, he witnessed how Gu Qingfeng destroyed Mu Zibai's Colorful Spirit Protection with one kick. How could he dare to make a move? His mind was filled with what had happened in the abode of immortals, especially when he was facing Gu Qingfeng. For some unknown reason, he suddenly felt very cold, as if … as if he had suddenly fallen into a bottomless abyss. Even his soul could not help but tremble.
On the opposite side, Gu Qingfeng did not say anything. He stood there quietly, frowning slightly and squinting his eyes. Looking at Huang Yao, he shook his head and said, "All right, you can admit defeat and get off the platform."
Hearing his words, everyone in the training field did not know how to react.
What did he mean by admitting defeat and getting off the platform?
This Gu Qingfeng was too arrogant.
Just when everyone felt that this scene was a little strange, something happened that left them dumbfounded.
Huang Yao seemed to have made a very difficult decision. He took a deep breath and opened his mouth. Then, he said in a trembling voice, "I … I admit defeat."
When these words came out, the entire audience was in an uproar!
No one knew why Huang Yao was so afraid, and they did not know why he suddenly admitted defeat.
This was too strange, too inconceivable.
Huang Yao was the leader of the twelve academies. How could he admit defeat without even fighting?
Gu Qingfeng's physical body was just a little stronger, and he had cultivated the Flame-Thunder Art to the Great Circle. He had also defeated Li Can, who was ranked twenty-third.
But so what?
Huang Yao was at the sixth level of Foundation Establishment, and his martial arts were so high. He had lightning in his left hand and black fiend in his right. In the previous round, a fifth level disciple was beaten by him. How could he be so afraid of Gu Qingfeng? He admitted defeat without even fighting?
Perhaps because this scene was too shocking, even Elder Rende could not believe it. He asked, "Huang Yao! You … you admit defeat? "
