At this moment, Wu Gao said, "Old Kang, those three new students are amazing. One is Elder Qing's disciple, one is Vice Principal Lu's disciple, and one is Elder Lu's disciple. Otherwise, they wouldn't have grown so quickly."
Situ Qing frowned slightly. He did not understand why Wu Gao would reveal Yao Yue and the other two's identities.
Kang Fu was astonished. He said, "It seems like those three brats are not simple. Could they be an unexpected surprise?"
"Hehe, that's hard to say. Not long ago, I sent them to the Azure Frost Kingdom to train and deal with the rebels. Who would have thought that they would harm their fellow disciples and even become deserters? What a pity," Wu Gao said sarcastically.
He had revealed that Yao Yue and the other two's identities had a backer, but now he was accusing them of being deserters. This was clearly a sign that their master was not strict enough in teaching them.
Situ Qing said unhappily, "Someone has already clarified that they are not Qiu Chen's murderers."
"Maybe someone is trying to exonerate them.
Qiu Chen died an unjust death! "Wu Gao sighed disapprovingly.
Situ Qing looked at Wu Gao unhappily and said, "Hmph, I wonder who pretended to be an elder of the disciplinary hall and tried to execute them privately. This proves that someone is guilty and is trying to frame them. If I find out who it is, I will definitely ask the elders of the academy to punish them together."
Wu Gao's expression changed. He did not reply to Situ Qing this time, but he was clearly very displeased.
If not for the principal's support, I would have taught you a lesson first, Wu Gao cursed inwardly.
"Alright, those kids are here. Let's see how fast they have grown.
Regardless of who wins or loses, we should make them take back their words. It's not a good thing to be young and hot-headed, "Skysplitter said.
At this moment, Xue Ming, Wu Qiang, Boduo Ge, and Wu Jian arrived.
The people present all made way for them to walk onto the martial arts stage.
Yao Yue, Guan Changyun, and Zhang Mengfei walked over from another direction. Behind them were three beauties: Cymbidium Purpurea, Lan Jing, and Nangong Ying.
"Yao Yue and the others really came. How courageous!"
"Nonsense, they've challenged Xue Ming and the others. If they don't come, they'll become a joke. They won't be able to show their faces in the future," said Xue Ming.
"Lan Jing and Nangong Ying are two of the prettiest flowers among the new students. To think that he knows the three of them. How enviable!"
"Are you blind? Can't you see the Seventh Princess Cymbidium Purpurea beside Yao Yue?
She's really too beautiful. Lan Jing and Nangong Ying are nothing but foils beside her. "
"That's right. The seventh princess is the number one beauty in our academy. Even Elder Situ Qing is inferior to her. She actually chose to stay by Yao Yue's side. Is Yao Yue not afraid of being punished by the heavens?"
"No wonder Yao Yue wants to challenge Xue Ming. Xue Ming has been pursuing the seventh princess for a long time. This is going to be interesting."
Yao Yue hadn't expected that Cymbidium Purpurea, Lan Jing, and Nangong Ying would come to cheer for them when they arrived for the duel. They had even come with them to the arena. This attracted even more attention.
Cymbidium Purpurea was on Yao Yue's right, Lan Jing was on his left, and Nangong Ying was next to Lan Jing.
From the looks of it, Yao Yue was escorted here by the three girls. It really made others envious!
However, Yao Yue was extraordinarily handsome and had an imposing aura. When he stood with the three beauties, they looked very compatible. He looked like a playboy with many beauties accompanying him.
This was something that every man dreamed of. Now that Yao Yue had done it, how could they not be envious?
Guan Changyun, who was behind Yao Yue, was even more envious. He howled inwardly, Boss, how can you face me like this?
These are all the beauties I've taken a liking to, yet you're taking them all for yourself. You should at least leave one to comfort me!
Zhang Mengfei could see his second brother's gloominess. He immediately chuckled and said, "Second brother, didn't you say that you wanted to woo all the beauties in the academy?
Looks like it's better to let our boss fulfill your grand dream. "
"Scram!"
Guan Changyun snapped. He continued, "He's our boss after all. I'll be more magnanimous and let him have his way. Otherwise, people will say that I stole his limelight."
"Second brother, you're so despicable!" Zhang Mengfei laughed disdainfully.
At this point, the group had already arrived at the edge of the training ground.
Cymbidium Purpurea patted Yao Yue's shoulder and said, "I know you won't disappoint me, right?"
Yao Yue indifferently replied, "If I can't even beat him, what's the point of dreaming about becoming a general?"
"Good. I'll wait for the moment you win," Cymbidium Purpurea chuckled.
Lan Jing, who was standing on the other side of Yao Yue, lowered her head and pinched the corner of her clothes. She looked very unnatural.
She had wanted to cheer Yao Yue on, but unexpectedly, the Cymbidium Purpurea had also come to cheer for Yao Yue. She immediately felt inferior, as if she was an ugly duckling in the eyes of the other party.
Cymbidium Purpurea was just too beautiful.
When she heard the Cymbidium Purpurea's words of encouragement for Yao Yue and saw the other party's intimate actions towards Yao Yue, she felt jealous.
"Perhaps only a woman like the Seventh Princess is worthy of him!" Lan Jing thought to herself timidly.
At this moment, Nangong Ying pulled Lan Jing's arm and whispered, "Jing Jing, why aren't you saying anything? Are you giving up just like that?"
Lan Jing raised her head and looked at Nangong Ying. She was infected by the encouraging look in Nangong Ying's eyes. Determination flashed in her eyes. She turned around and held Yao Yue's hand, saying, "Yao Yue, you will definitely win. I will always support you!"
Lan Jing seemed to have used up all her strength to say those words. Her face flushed red, and her breathing became rapid. Clearly, she felt very shy.
Yao Yue already knew Lan Jing's feelings, but he did not have the time to care about her feelings. However, he still replied sincerely, "Thank you, Lan Jing. I will definitely win!"
Guan Changyun finally could not help but say, "Beauties, I am also preparing to fight to the death. Please give me some encouragement as well!"
"You can do it!" the three women said in unison.
Guan Changyun's face drooped as he suffered a huge blow. He said, "You are indeed encouraging me!"
The other party had sincerely encouraged his boss, but to him, she had only said a few words. It was obvious that she was doing it half-heartedly.
His behavior caused the others to burst into laughter.
"Alright, we should go up," said Yao Yue as he led Guan Changyun and Zhang Mengfei to the training ground.
Before the competition, they still needed to listen to the elders' lecture.
Xue Ming, Wu Qiang, Boduo Ge, Yao Yue, Guan Changyun, and Zhang Mengfei stood in front of the elders in two groups and greeted them.
"The six of you are the pillars of our academy. Although I don't know what grudges you have against each other, I will say one thing. Regardless of who wins or loses, you will still have to stay in the academy. You cannot act on impulse. Also, this is a competition between fellow academy members, not a battle to the death. Therefore, after one of you concedes, you are not allowed to kill the other. Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude," said Skysplitter to the six.
The six of them answered in unison, "Yes, elder!"
Below the stage, Wu Jian muttered inwardly, It really is Ping Yi's group!
"Alright, let's decide the order of the competition. Let's see who will fight first," said Skysplitter.
"Elder, I, Guan Changyun, will fight first, followed by my third brother, Zhang Mengfei, and lastly, my boss, Yao Yue," said Guan Changyun.
"Then we will fight first, Boduo Ge.
After that, it will be Senior Wu's turn, and then it will be my turn, "said Xue Ming.
"Then it's decided. Elder Kang Fu will be the judge. Let the competition begin!" announced Skysplitter.
As soon as Skysplitter finished speaking, Guan Changyun and Boduo Ge walked toward one of the arenas.
The two of them stood in the center of the arena. Kang Fu also appeared on the arena and announced the start of the competition.
"Kid, do you still remember how this prince humiliated you half a year ago?
How dare you challenge this prince again? I will let you have a taste of that again! "Boduo Ge sneered at Guan Changyun.
Guan Changyun's expression sank as he shouted, "I was humiliated by you half a year ago, but half a year later, you will be the one humiliated!"
Guan Changyun felt humiliated whenever he recalled what had happened half a year ago. Back then, he had been humiliated by Bolis and the others. Then, Boduo Ge had brought people to bully him. Now, it was time for him to wash away the humiliation.
He rushed over, pulled out his broadsword, and slashed at Bodoc in the air with an imposing aura of gaining the upper hand by a show of strength!
"So what if we are the same level? I reached this level a few months earlier than you. You are no match for me!"
Boduo Ge said confidently. He drew a curved saber from his waist and charged at Guan Changyun.
Clang! Clang!
Clang! The two of them exchanged more than ten blows in an instant. Their weapons clashed repeatedly, producing crisp sounds as sparks flew everywhere.
With every clash, Guan Changyun was clearly at a disadvantage. He was forced to retreat again and again.
As expected, he was still weaker than Boduo Ge in terms of strength.
Boduo Ge became braver as he fought. He laughed maniacally and said, "You will definitely lose today!"
His aura soared as he slashed his saber wildly. Numerous saber rays enveloped Guan Changyun, forcing Guan Changyun to defend himself.
For a moment, everyone below the arena felt that Guan Changyun would definitely lose this battle.
"Big Brother, what is Second Brother doing?" Zhang Mengfei asked with a frown.
He did not believe that Guan Changyun would be defeated so easily.
"Second Brother is proficient in the art of war. He is using the art of war to fight. This should be called 'feigning weakness'," Yao Yue said after pondering for a moment.
After feigning weakness and causing the opponent's confidence to surge, he would suddenly counterattack with all his strength and catch the opponent off guard.
Sure enough, just as Boduo Ge was about to force Guan Changyun into the arena, Guan Changyun's speed began to change. He suddenly broke free from Boduo Ge's attacks and circled behind him. He gathered all his strength on his saber and unleashed his strongest attack.
"Lose!" Guan Changyun roared. His saber glowed with a green light, and multiple saber rays overlapped and slashed down.
Explosive Stacked Quintuple Slash!
