Qin Wentian tightened his grip on the ancient halberd, infusing his Astral Energy into it as he stared at the battle between Luo Huan and Jiang Xiu.
The longer one was, the more dangerous it would be. Luo Huan's whip swept through the clouds, and although Jiang Xiu's swordsmanship was profound, he was still forced into a defensive stance. Upon seeing this scene, Qin Wentian naturally understood that back then when Luo Huan helped him temper his movement technique, she had never used her true whip techniques.
At this moment, Luo Huan's whip technique was like a phantom that filled the skies. Every time it landed, a howl of rage could be heard, as though a storm was brewing.
Qin Wentian stepped out, his entire person transforming into a shadow. After which, the spectators only saw a silhouette soaring through the air, like a bird of prey, transforming into a beam of light, descending on the space above Jiang Xiu's head.
"Bzzz." A raging wind gusted as the wings of a Garuda appeared on Qin Wentian's back. At the same time, the ancient halberd was pointed downwards towards Jiang Xiu. With a howl of rage, the might of a gigantic mountain pressed downwards, akin to the roar of an Azure Dragon. The Berserk Beast Halberd Technique instantly descended on Jiang Xiu's head, causing Jiang Xiu's countenance to turn pale white.
"Despicable." Jiang Xiu slashed out with his sword, wanting to tear apart Qin Wentian's attack. However, the ancient halberd was incomparably tyrannical, as heavy as a mountain, crushing down on his sword. His sword couldn't even move.
"Pa … …" A crisp sound rang out. Jiang Xiu's robes were torn apart as fresh blood spurted out. The long whip lashed out at his chest, sending him flying through the air as he landed heavily on the ground, his sword falling to the ground.
From the moment Qin Wentian attacked to the moment Jiang Xiu was struck, only a short period of time had passed. The countenances of the spectators froze as strange expressions appeared on their faces. Jiang Xiu, one of the 10 prodigies, was actually beaten up and humiliated in public? This was simply a rumor in the Emperor Star Academy.
"IMPUDENT!" Qiu Mo roared in rage as the aura of a Yuanfu cultivator gushed forth. Luo Huan stood in front of Qin Wentian, blocking his path. "Could it be that Senior Qiu Mo wants to bully me and my Junior Brother just because you're at the Yuanfu Realm?"
At this moment, Jiang Xiu stood up from the ground, his body radiating a violent Sword Will. His expression was as gloomy as water, extremely ugly to look at.
He was one of the capital's 10 prodigies. To him, being beaten up in public was a great humiliation.
The gazes of everyone in the Emperor Star Academy were all on him. If he didn't wash away this humiliation, how would he be able to face others in the future?
"You actually fought two against one, and even ambushed me." Qiu Mo coldly snorted as he took a step forwards. His tyrannical aura gushed forth, pressing down on Luo Huan and Qin Wentian. The pressure was so strong that it was suffocating. The difference between the Yuanfu Realm and the Arterial Circulation Realm was an insurmountable gap.
"Jiang Xiu is one of the 10 prodigies of the Royal Capital, a genius of the Emperor Star Academy. Junior Brother Qin is just a new student. Earlier when Jiang Xiu acted against Junior Brother Qin, Senior Qiu Mo didn't say anything to stop him, right?" Luo Huan's beautiful eyes stared at Qiu Mo as she continued, "Furthermore, could it be that Junior Brother Qin's strength is enough to pose a threat to Jiang Xiu? The 10 prodigies of the Royal Capital shouldn't be so weak, right? There's a gap of three levels between him and Junior Brother Qin. In my opinion, he should be able to ignore Junior Brother Qin's attack."
Luo Huan didn't forget to mock Jiang Xiu, causing Jiang Xiu's countenance to turn increasingly unsightly.
That's right, Jiang Xiu was one of the 10 prodigies of the Royal Capital with a cultivation base at the 9th level of the Arterial Circulation Realm, while Qin Wentian was only at the 6th level. Logically speaking, Qin Wentian shouldn't pose a threat to him at all, unless he admitted that Qin Wentian was stronger than him.
"Qiu Mo, their battle has nothing to do with you." At this moment, Luo Cheng's voice drifted over. Qiu Mo turned his gaze over as a cold glint of light flickered in the depths of his eyes.
"Since you've already broken through to Yuanfu, you should go and fight against Yuanfu Seniors instead. Why are you trying to act like a hero here?" Luo Cheng didn't give any face to Qiu Mo. "Not only that, this battle was initiated by Jiang Xiu himself. If you're a man, go and settle it yourself. If Jiang Xiu, who is ranked last among the 10 prodigies of the Royal Capital, needs help from others, then that's the end of the line."
"At the end of the year, after the Jun Lin Banquet, Jiang Xiu's name will no longer be part of the 10 prodigies of the Royal Capital."
Luo Cheng's voice was calm, as though he was speaking of an extremely ordinary matter, causing the spectators below to sigh.
Every year after the Jun Lin Banquet, the rankings of the 10 prodigies would change. Naturally, this year's Jun Lin Banquet was no exception. Luo Cheng bluntly stated that Jiang Xiu, who was ranked # 10, not only would he not be able to improve his ranking, he would be eliminated from the ranks of the 10 prodigies and be surpassed by the younger generations.
"The two of you, come at me together." Jiang Xiu roared in rage as he released his sword-type Astral Soul. Sword Qi howled in rage, incomparably tyrannical.
His eyes were as sharp as swords, as he stared at Luo Huan and Qin Wentian. At this moment, the flesh on his chest could still be seen, as fresh blood dyed his robes red. At this moment, his rage had already reached the limit.
As the sound of his voice faded, he took a step forward. Sword Qi howled in rage as a beam of sword light slashed out, cleaving towards Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian stabbed out with his ancient halberd as the Shadow of the Black Tortoise appeared. The Shadow of the Black Tortoise shattered as Qin Wentian felt an even sharper aura gushing towards him.
"You don't know what's good for you." Luo Huan coldly snorted. Her beautiful eyes finally flashed with anger as she released her Astral Soul as well. At the same time, the long whip in her hands lashed out in a frenzy, as though a storm was raging in the sky. The shadows of the whip flooded the entire space, completely blocking out the sword light.
At this moment, the spectators all had expressions of shock on their faces. So it turned out that Luo Huan's strength was already this powerful. Even without Qin Wentian's help, Jiang Xiu might not be able to do anything to her.
"Indeed, you don't know what's good for you. Can't you tell that Luo Huan's strength is already not inferior to yours?" A look of disdain flashed in Luo Cheng's eyes as he saw Jiang Xiu still persisting in his attacks. In the previous 10 prodigies, Jiang Xiu was ranked # 10. From his point of view, it was because the competition last year was too weak. But this year was different, the competition would be even more intense.
Luo Huan already had the strength to contend for the top spot. But for himself, he also wanted to fight for it. Not only that, he knew that Luo Qianqiu's combat prowess was stronger than his. Luo Qianqiu, who had already stepped into the 8th level of Arterial Circulation, was currently in closed-door seclusion. Luo Cheng only had a single goal, to obtain the top spot in the Jun Lin Banquet. At the end of the year, there would be no Yuanfu cultivators present.
Qin Wentian didn't make another move. He stared at the two of them as he sarcastically stated, "Not to mention the 10 prodigies, even if the top 15 were to be ranked this year, you, Jiang Xiu, might not even have a spot for you."
Jiang Xiu was even more enraged when he heard these words. His swordplay grew even more ferocious, but it was clear that he wouldn't be able to maintain it for long. Luo Huan's long whip danced in an impenetrable manner.
That alluring figure danced about, causing many to drool with desire. In their hearts, they were fantasizing about becoming Luo Huan's man.
However, they also knew that even though Ruo Huan seemed to be unrestrained and unrestrained, in reality, no man had ever succeeded in wooing her.
At this moment, the cry of a crane drifted over from afar. Gazing over, a look of bewilderment could be seen on the faces of the spectators. Who would dare to ride on a demonic beast in the Emperor Star Academy?
However, as the cry of the crane drew closer, all of their eyes were fixated on the beautiful figure on top of the crane.
"Mo Qingcheng."
Those men were in a daze, as though they had forgotten about the intense battle between Luo Huan and Jiang Xiu.
On the white crane in the distance, a beautiful figure dressed in white sat there like a fairy. Her face was perfect, and her expression was peaceful, just like a fairy.
Compared to Mo Qingcheng, Nolan, who was beside her, seemed to have been forgotten. Actually, it wasn't that Nolan wasn't beautiful, it was just that when she was together with Mo Qingcheng, her beauty was completely suppressed.
There were many beauties in the Chu Country, but all of them would pale in comparison to Mo Qingcheng.
"How beautiful." Qin Yao couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. In her heart, she was thinking of Luo Huan's words. If Wentian could marry Mo Qingcheng, wouldn't that be a beautiful marriage as well?
The white crane soared through the air, and very quickly, it arrived at the location of the spectators.
"Mo Qingcheng also seems to be paying attention to the battle here?" Someone involuntarily adjusted his robes when he saw Mo Qingcheng's beautiful eyes looking over.
Qiu Mo also turned his gaze towards the beautiful maiden in the air. A gentle smile appeared on his face, exuding a sense of friendliness.
"Why is she here?" An expression of bewilderment appeared on Qin Wentian's face. Everytime he saw Mo Qingcheng, his heart would palpitate slightly. For people of his age, they were all hot-blooded youths. Facing a beauty like Mo Qingcheng who could cause the downfall of empires, it was extremely difficult for them to remain calm. After all, the cultivation of their hearts had yet to reach the state where their hearts were as calm as still water.
The white crane swooped down, landing on the public square. The two maidens atop the crane slowly descended, attracting the attention of the crowd. It was as though the spectacular battle between Luo Huan and Jiang Xiu had been forgotten by the crowd.
"Qingcheng, why are you here in the academy?" Qiu Mo walked up, smiling at Mo Qingcheng.
"Oi, oi, Qiu Mo, when did Qingcheng become so familiar with you? Be more respectful when you address me." Nolan glared at Qiu Mo, causing an expression of embarrassment to appear on Qiu Mo's face. However, an instant later, a gentle smile appeared on his face.
Mo Qingcheng didn't bother with Qiu Mo, and only casually glanced at him. However, Qiu Mo was already used to it. Not only him, Mo Qingcheng didn't even give a smile to a few of the 10 prodigies.
However, when he saw Mo Qingcheng walking towards Qin Wentian, Qiu Mo's countenance changed, as an undetectable cold light flickered in his eyes.
He had long heard that Mo Qingcheng had already viewed Qin Wentian in a different light during the banquet. Could it be that the number one beauty of Chu, who had never shown any respect to the 10 prodigies, had a very good relationship with Qin Wentian?
As he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel indignant in his heart. This Qin Wentian must have had some dog-shit luck. Not only did he obtain so many powerful Divine Inscriptions, he even caused Mo Qingcheng to view him in a different light.
"Dumbo." Mo Qingcheng called out to Qin Wentian, with a light smile on her face. Looking at the expression on Qin Wentian's face, she felt that this fellow was a little dumbo.
"Eh …" Qin Wentian's eyes flickered. Dumbo?
He couldn't help but recall the scene in the snow that day, as a bitter smile appeared on his face. Was he really a dumbo?
At this moment, Qin Wentian felt several cold gazes directed at him. Even Qiu Mo was the same. This caused a strange feeling to appear in Qin Wentian's heart.
Could it be that Qiu Mo's hostility towards him originated from Mo Qingcheng?
