With a loud bang, everyone in the room turned their heads to look at the source of the sound.
In front of Li Hongtang, Zhu Yougong was lying on the ground. His face was swollen, and blood was flowing out from the corner of his mouth. He was limp and motionless. It was obvious that he had fainted!
The teachers were shocked. They quickly got up and came to Li Hongtang's side and asked, "What happened?"
"Nothing." Li Hongtang smiled coldly and said, "Someone who wants to use money to defeat us."
Hearing Li Hongtang's words, everyone was stunned, and their faces darkened. Li Hongtang bent over and grabbed Zhu Yougong's collar, pulling him up from the ground. He turned around and dragged him out of the room like a dead dog.
"What are you going to do?" Han Ying was stunned and quickly asked.
"I'm going to bring him to the dean of the Tianmu Academy and ask him who this person is. I want to know what punishment they can mete out," Li Hongtang said with a cold smile.
The four teachers were stunned, and a hint of panic appeared in their eyes. One of them hurriedly rushed in front of Li Hongtang and said anxiously, "This is Skylight City after all. Aren't you being too disrespectful by doing this?"
"Then he sent someone to bribe us to give me face?" Li Hongtang sneered. "Don't say that this has nothing to do with them. Does an ordinary businessman have the authority to come to the lounge? Can he fork out so much money? I don't believe it! "
"Even if he was sent by the Tianmu Academy, they didn't send a businessman openly. What right do you have to accuse him without any evidence? Who are you going to look for to reason with if they bite back and slander you? "Another teacher hurriedly said.
"That's right, you've already hit him. After all, we're in Tianmu City and in their academy. Don't go too far!"
Li Hongtang frowned slightly as he listened to the teachers' advice. They were right, but seeing someone do such a despicable thing, he couldn't help but feel angry!
However, he held it in and took two deep breaths before nodding and saying, "Then I'll throw this piece of trash out!"
After saying that, Li Hongtang dragged Zhu Yougong to the door, opened it, and threw Zhu Yougong out. Zhu Yougong slammed into the wall of the corridor with a dull thud, scaring the other people in the corridor.
After doing all this, Li Hongtang closed the door. He turned his head to look at Lu An and Fu Yu in the corner. The two of them had not opened their eyes since the beginning.
Li Hongtang did not disturb their rest. It was not until it was almost time to go on stage that Li Hongtang came to them.
At this time, both of them had opened their eyes and were about to get up and follow the team outside. When they saw Li Hongtang, they were stunned. Lu An asked, "Teacher, what's the matter?"
Li Hongtang looked at Lu An and frowned. "Your opponent is Liu Wei from the Tianmu Academy. Are you confident?"
Lu An was startled. After thinking about it seriously, he shook his head and said, "We haven't fought, so I can't say who will win."
"Defeat him!" Li Hongtang gritted his teeth and said coldly, "Defeat him with all your strength and help the Starfire Academy vent our anger. Don't let others look down on you!"
Lu An looked at Li Hongtang's reaction and thought for a moment before nodding and saying, "I'll do my best."
Soon, the group arrived at the arena. When they appeared on the arena again, the cheers in the afternoon seemed to be louder than in the morning. There were no empty seats in the arena, densely packed with heads.
The Starfire Academy group sat down in the resting area. Lu An looked at the arena in front of him. At this time, the huge layout of the arena had completely changed. In the afternoon, several elders and teachers of the Tianmu Academy had combined the previous arenas into one. At this time, the arena was exceptionally large and had enough space to perform.
"The afternoon battles will not be like the morning battles, but one group at a time." Han Ying turned to the two students and said, "The Tianmu Academy will announce the battle order, so you must be prepared."
Lu An and Fu Yu nodded.
Time flew, and soon, it was time to officially begin. The emcee walked to the center of the stage and announced loudly, "The time has come. Now, let's begin the first battle of the semi-finals!"
In an instant, the entire arena erupted in applause. Everyone cheered loudly. They knew very well that the battles in the afternoon were on a completely different level compared to the morning battles.
"The first battle is between Tianmu Academy's Liu Wei!"
As soon as the announcement was made, the entire arena erupted. Everyone cheered loudly for the two words "Tianmu", and the atmosphere reached its climax in an instant.
"And Lu An from the Starfire Academy!"
The crowd erupted in cheers again. Although it was not as loud as before, it was enough to show respect.
Li Hongtang did not expect Lu An to be the first to go up. He patted Lu An's shoulder and said, "Go!"
Lu An nodded, got up, tidied his clothes, and strode towards the arena.
Liu Wei also walked out from the Tianmu Academy team. Amidst the cheers of "Tianmu" and "Liu Wei" in the arena, every step he took was filled with confidence.
On the stage, the emcee read aloud, "Liu Wei, a fourth-year student from the Tianmu Academy, ranked first in the academy! Not only does he have two different attributes, wood and fire, but he also has outstanding control of Sky Origin Energy … "
Hearing the emcee's introduction, Li Hongtang was stunned. He turned to Han Ying and asked, "Why didn't I know about this?"
"Yes, the Tianmu Academy sent people to find us two days ago, but you weren't around." Han Ying nodded and said, "I just casually wrote a few words for them."
Li Hongtang frowned and continued to look at the emcee's stage.
"What's more important to note is that Liu Wei is also a quasi-apothecary. With his precise control and talent, he can even make some quasi-apothecary pills! " When the emcee finally finished, he looked at the audience and said loudly, "Let's cheer for him again!"
"Wow —"
"Liu Wei! Liu Wei! "
The audience cheered loudly, as if they wanted to overturn the entire arena. The emcee looked at everyone's performance with satisfaction, then lowered his head and took out the second piece of paper.
"Next, let me introduce Lu An from the Starfire Academy! He's a new student … "
The emcee was stunned and even stopped talking as he looked at the information in his hand in astonishment. Not only him, but everyone in the audience was in an uproar.
Lu An, who was walking toward the center of the huge arena, also stopped in his tracks, frowned slightly, and took a light breath before continuing to walk forward.
"Four months into the academy … Eighth level Celestial … He has mastered both ice and fire dual attributes, and is ranked first in the academy …"
After the short two sentences, the emcee looked at the piece of paper in his hand in a daze. He even thought that someone was playing a prank on him and quickly looked at the young man standing on the stage.
A new student?
A new student?
Even the dean of the Tianmu Academy frowned. It was impossible for a Eighth level Celestial to be in the academy for four months. Someone must have taught him before he entered the academy, and his starting point was already very high.
However, to be able to become a Eighth level Celestial at such a young age was already extremely rare.
At this time, Liu Wei was already standing 30 meters away from Lu An. He frowned as he looked at the young man. His opponent's age made it hard for him to believe how strong he was, but the truth was right in front of him. Even someone from the Moon Rain Academy had failed.
He couldn't underestimate any opponent, especially when he was suppressing his breakthrough. He couldn't lose to a kid like this!
"Liu Wei," Liu Wei cupped his hands and said loudly.
"Lu An," Lu An returned the salute and said loudly.
The referee, who was standing between the two, looked at them and said loudly, "I'll say it again. The competition is based on surrender only, including your own surrender and the academy's surrender. Other than that, as long as I don't call for a stop, the battle will continue! "
Liu Wei and Lu An nodded and turned to look at each other.
The referee looked at them again, then took a deep breath and raised his hand high. "The first round of the semi-finals, begin!"
Bang!
Before he finished speaking, Liu Wei's body exploded with a tyrannical dark green light!
