Born in the Qingshan Sword Pavilion, Tang Yao has been High hopes by the current pavilion master since she was a child.
Although the Qingshan Sword Pavilion is a leading sect in Qingshan City, it still pales in comparison to those renowned sects in Ying Province.
Not to mention that by the time of the current pavilion master, there has actually been a situation of a gap in succession within the Qingshan Sword Pavilion, and the entire sect has been on the decline.
In such a situation, a genius is urgently needed to be born, leading the Qingshan Sword Pavilion, which is already in decline, to cheer up again.
Tang Yao emerged at the right time. The talent she possesses has made the entire Qingshan Sword Pavilion and even Qingshan City regard her as the outstanding figure of the younger generation and the hope for the future.
The girl also considers herself extraordinary.
She originally planned to first win the top spot in Ying Province's martial - arts exam, then enter a martial - arts university to hone herself, and in the future, travel the world with a sword and reach the peak of the high - martial world....
Unexpectedly, before achieving the first stage, she was slapped hard by reality.
Tang Yao's face became even paler. Her beautiful face was stepped on by the opponent, and it was a luxury even to lift it.
The talent and sword skills she was so proud of were as powerless and laughable as a street - performer's tricks in front of the young man in black robes.
Previously, she had never lost a single match among her peers.
The bitterness in her heart at this moment.... was thicker than ever before.
"Tang Yao, forgive me for being blunt."
"You're just a loser."
Upon hearing these words, the sharpness in Tang Yao's eyes gradually faded, and her tightly - clenched palm slowly relaxed.
She lay on the martial - arts arena like a dead dog, for the first time indifferent to others' humiliation.
"..."
Ye Li didn't even glance at her.
For such a genius with an over - inflated ego, he has always returned kindness for kindness and retribution for retribution.
Even if the girl looked pitiful at this moment, it had nothing to do with him. Just like if he had lost this match, no matter how pitiful he looked, the opponent wouldn't have pitied him either.
In the high - martial world, the strong humiliate the weak without mercy.
Therefore, Ye Li didn't withdraw his foot. Instead, he stepped on the top of her head and walked towards the stage.
"Ye Li wins!"
The referee's excited voice, which sounded a bit hollow, resounded over the martial - arts arena.
The spectator seats with thousands of people were as quiet as if a heavy snow had fallen.
Countless students from Qingshan City, some were dumbfounded, some had complex expressions, and some found it hard to accept as they watched the scene on the stage. Their hearts felt as if they were being cut by a sharp blade, and they were extremely Uncomfortable.
No one expected that the fairy - like girl, who they had regarded as high and mighty and dazzling, would be so brutally defeated.
Moreover, it was a one - sided and overwhelming defeat.
They couldn't even see a hint of a close - fought battle.
They only saw the dust disperse, and then the young man in black robes walked out leisurely. With a few moves, he defeated Tang Yao.... a martial - arts exam candidate who held a second - rank high - grade treasure, and she was defeated extremely quickly.
In terms of the result, it was no different from Tang Yao's previous matches, except that the identities of the standing person and the fallen person were reversed.
"Tap——"
In the deathly silence of the entire arena, only a calm and unhurried sound of footsteps echoed.
The sound wasn't loud, but it felt as heavy as if it was stepping on the hearts of everyone.
Under countless complex and shocked gazes.
The handsome young man with black hair and golden eyes had a cold expression and walked steadily down from the battle platform.
Behind him, the previously smooth battle platform was full of cracks, which were particularly eye - catching.
And that rather handsome face now had a somewhat awe - inspiring demeanor.
Even the people from Linhai No.1 Middle School felt a bit dry - mouthed.
Liu Yangde looked at the young man and couldn't help but shiver when he recalled his suicidal provoking behavior last week.
With such strength of the opponent, even the recognized sword - path genius of Qingshan City was beaten like this. It was a miracle that he wasn't beaten to death back then. His ancestors in the underworld were probably knocking their heads off in gratitude.
No wonder his uncle, who was the department head, couldn't punish the opponent either. For a genius like this, if they dared to touch him, the school would probably kick both him and his uncle out!
Liu Yangde felt his heart pounding and secretly made up his mind.
In the future, he'd rather be a coward than court death again!
"Since the remaining contestants from Qingshan No.1 Middle School forfeited, Linhai No.1 Middle School is declared the winner!"
"This exchange competition is hereby concluded!" The referee's excited voice continued.
"..."
On the high platform, the elder of the Sword Pavilion looked grim, and his palm in his sleeve slowly clenched.
He had never seen a peer who could crush Tang Yao like this, let alone the pavilion master of the Sword Pavilion.
Thinking that he had previously wanted to show the senior teacher from Fengyun University what a real genius was, his face now felt Hot.
The elder of the Sword Pavilion originally wanted to say something to save face, but when he turned around, he found that Elder Yu had already left.
As soon as the young man named Ye Li left the arena, the other person disappeared without a trace. The purpose was self - evident.
"Sigh...."
Thinking of this, the elder of the Sword Pavilion's eyes flickered. After a moment of silence, he finally let out a sigh.
With a recommendation from Fengyun University, the future achievements of the young man in black robes would probably not be below that of the pavilion master of the Sword Pavilion!
Sure enough.
As soon as the figure of the young man in black robes disappeared from the exit tunnel.
A burst of exclamations suddenly rang out in the spectator seats.
only to see a figure on the high platform leaped down like a bird, landing lightly on the ground, like a swooping falcon descending rapidly.
With a loud "bang," countless gravel and dust were sent flying, as if a small explosion had occurred there.
Everyone looked in astonishment and saw an old man with gray hair and beard, a kind - looking face but exuding an imposing aura, standing steadily in the pit.
He stood as straight as a pine, his hands behind his back, a green robe fluttering in the wind, looking exceptionally elegant and detached.
Behind him was a lifelike cloud pattern, as if wind and clouds were churning.
The school emblem of Fengyun University!
The thousands of students in the spectator seats were all martial - arts students from Ying Province.
Naturally, they were familiar with the reputation of Fengyun University and recognized it at a glance. Surprise was evident in their eyes.
They had long heard that people from Fengyun University would come to watch the exchange competition, but they never thought that someone would actually jump down from the high platform!
But soon, this surprise turned into profound shock.
only to see the old man, who had been so imposing just now, quickly rushed into the passage the next second.
He looked as eager as if he had discovered a peerless treasure.
In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from everyone's sight.
After he left, the spectator seats exploded like a boiling oil pan.
"Is that a teacher from Fengyun University? What is he going to do?!"
"Dude, are you stupid? Can't you tell at a glance? He's going after that Ye Li!"
"Damn, could it be a recommendation?!"
"Recommendation?"
"For a municipal - level competition like this, if you perform well enough, you can be selected by a teacher from a prestigious school who comes to watch the competition and be recommended for admission without taking the martial - arts exam!!"
"What?! That Ye Li treated Senior Sister Tang like this and can still be recommended to Fengyun University? I can't accept this!"
"I can't accept it either! Isn't this taking advantage?!"
The spectators were discussing animatedly, and then wails of grief rose up, and the sad emotions soared to the sky.
The scoundrel who just treated their moonlight - like goddess like a dog was about to get the recommendation quota they had dreamed of. This kind of thing.... they still couldn't accept it!
In the eyes of thousands of students from Qingshan City, a look of both shock and helplessness emerged. They were glued to their seats like their butts were rooted.
The teachers on the high platform also looked at each other and all saw the bitterness in each other's eyes.
There was no doubt about it.
Ye Li, who possessed such talent and had obtained the qualification from Fengyun University, as long as he grew steadily in the future, would definitely be another high - rank martial artist who was famous in the region!
This damn Linhai No.1 Middle School is really lucky....
One Jiang Qingzhu wasn't enough, and now there's an even more outrageous Ye Li. It's really making people so jealous that they could cry.
The teachers of Qingshan City were so envious that their eyes turned red.
In the lounge.
As soon as Ye Li sat down on the chair, he saw Wang Yongfeng come in with an excited face.
"Kid, you're amazing! Principal Li is almost going crazy because of you!"
Wang Yongfeng enthusiastically came over and looked him up and down. "Are you injured anywhere?"
"I'm fine. Just a bit of a large consumption of true qi.... I can recover in an hour."
Ye Li waved his hand, put the long spear beside him, and his pupils returned to their ink - like color.
The injuries on his body had long been healed by [Indestructible Golden Soul].
In the blink of an eye, the somewhat depleted true qi in his body was quickly restored.
Most of it was the huge consumption brought by using [Golden Soul Restoration].
Even without using this explosive - like talent ability, Ye Li was quite confident of winning.
But in that case, he would have to fight Tang Yao back and forth. Skills like [Frost Snow Covering the Sky] and [Swimming Dragon Phoenix Style].... would probably all have to be used.
At that time, it would easily make the other side think, "What a thrilling and satisfying battle!" and they definitely wouldn't be unwilling.
Then he wouldn't earn any evil values. People might even think that the two geniuses cherished each other.
So, Ye Li made a quick decision and chose to win the battle in the most brutal way.
Aiming to destroy the opponent's psychological defense line.
The effect was also quite remarkable.
[Severely injuring and publicly humiliating the proud young Pavilion Master of the Sword Pavilion, evil value +5000!]
[Current evil value: 51500 points]
Such a great number made Ye Li's heart surge with excitement.
"You've worked hard. You fought so much in the morning and then fought Tang Yao in the afternoon...."
Wang Yongfeng only felt that the young man was getting more and more outstanding. Looking at his tattered black robe, he couldn't help but feel a bit sorry. "Before the martial - arts exam, if there's another such competition, I'll turn it down for you so that you can focus on preparing for the exam!"
After saying that, he wasn't sure if it was his imagination, but he always felt that Ye Li's eyes suddenly became sharp.
"No need for that."
Ye Li coughed lightly and said indifferently, "I'm used to training through battles."
"But you still need to take care of your body.
Wang Yongfeng smiled with emotion and encouraged, "As long as you maintain this level, even the best Fengyun University in Ying Province will definitely be eager to have you!"
As soon as the words fell, footsteps were heard outside the door.
The gray - haired Elder Yu pushed the door open and chuckled, "Indeed. I just don't know if Student Ye Li is interested?"
