"Yes, we have to fight to decide the winner in advance. As long as we have a result in advance, we can make it clear. We don't have to fight, at least not today." Yan Yuchu explained patiently.

"What do you mean?" Mu Hanyan became more and more confused as she listened.

"Actually, this is what happened..." Yan Yuchu lowered his voice and explained patiently.

"This...this...you are so despicable and shameless." After hearing Yan Yuchu's words, Mu Hanyan's face was full of shock and contempt, as if she had never seen Yan Yuchu before.

"Okay, if you think it's too despicable and shameless, just pretend I've never been here." Yan Yuchu said helplessly.

"No, no, this is a good idea. Let's do as you say. Anyway, you are the despicable one, not me." Mu Hanyan said with a smile.

"I've always wondered how I became so despicable and shameless. Now, I think I understand." Yan Yuchu looked at Mu Hanyan deeply for a few times and said thoughtfully. Then, without waiting for Mu Hanyan to come back to her senses, he disappeared.

Mu Hanyan was left standing there, her face in disarray, her mind even more bewildered. Ugh, stop right there, you kid! Explain yourself! What did you just say? What does it have to do with me that you've become so despicable? What do you mean by looking at me like that? You're inherently despicable, and you blame me? At most, I've only brought out your true nature. How can you confuse innate and acquired meanness?

One night passed quickly.

As the sun pierced through the darkness and shone onto the earth, the entire Longyan Academy was once again abuzz with activity. Today, the freshman competition would determine the two strongest candidates. Even many disciples who had been in seclusion had come out early, and some who had been training outside had returned early.

The huge square was packed with people. Excitement and anticipation were written on everyone's face, and the sound of discussion was endless.

Mu Hanyan, Jiang Qiling, Yue Fanchen, and Yan Yuchu were standing in four different directions under the competition stage, looking at each other. Their eyes met, and from time to time, a series of intense sparks flew.

Yan Yuchu is fine, but the other three have been hiding something in the previous competitions, and in today's battle, it will probably be difficult for them to hold back any more, and they will eventually show their strongest strength in front of everyone!

"The first match is between Yue Fanchen and Jiang Qiling!" The instructor's voice resounded throughout the venue.

After a brief silence, shouts began to rise one after another, one wave higher than the other.

Although Yue Fanchen is from Shangyue, and Jiang Qiling is known as the little witch of Longyan, and is usually unpopular, they are still strong people after all, and the competition between the two still won the respect of everyone.

"It's indeed a 50% chance. I really met Yan Yuchu." Mu Hanyan couldn't help but think of what Yan Yuchu said last night and smiled secretly.

Then, she turned her attention to the competition stage. Her match with Yan Yuchu wasn't much of a suspense, but the one between Jiang Qiling and Yue Fanchen was more important to her. This was the perfect opportunity to see their true strength and anticipate their moves.

Amidst the shouts, Yue Fanchen and Jiang Qiling, one from the south and one from the north, leaped onto the platform.

"You are not my opponent. If you admit defeat now, you can still save some face and walk back to Shangyue by yourself." Jiang Qiling was still like a proud little hen, holding her head high and speaking arrogantly.

"This is what I want to say to you." Yue Fanchen smiled slightly, with the grace unique to a royal child, but his pride was no less.

"Okay, since you're looking for trouble, then it's up to you." Jiang Qiling smiled coldly and slowly drew out her sword.

"I originally wanted to give my all when I met Mu Hanyan, but your strength is not weak either, so let me let you see my true strength in advance." Yue Fanchen also slowly drew out his sword and made a strange sword move with his left hand.

A subtle and strange aura slowly enveloped his body.

If it were someone else, it would probably be difficult to detect this subtle aura, but it could not escape Mu Hanyan's keen senses.

This aura was extremely similar to the aura that appeared when Longya performed those hand gestures, but it was more neutral and peaceful, and the feeling it gave Mu Hanyan was even more terrifying.

It seems that Yue Fanchen is not talking nonsense. In this battle, he is really ready to display his strongest skills!

"It's still the same move. It turns out this is all you can do." Jiang Qiling didn't seem to notice the mystery in Yue Fanchen's hand gesture, and sneered contemptuously.

"Xuantian, the sword is broken!" Jiang Qiling slashed out with a sword.

It was early morning and the sky was clear, but with Jiang Qiling's sword, the world briefly fell into darkness, until... the sword that created the world tore through the darkness and brought light again.

This sword was so majestic and unstoppable that everyone was shocked by the power of Jiang Qiling's sword.

This turns out to be Jiang Qiling's strongest strength.

Mu Hanyan frowned slightly. With this sword, Jiang Qiling displayed the strength of a sixth-level swordsman to the fullest, obviously without any reservation.

Could it be that she really didn't see the mystery in Yue Fanchen's hand gestures? Otherwise, there would be no reason for her to give her all without reservation right from the start. However, with Jiang Qiling's scheming and cunning, this shouldn't be the case.

"Saint, swordsmanship!" Yue Fanchen also shouted in a deep and clear voice, and the saint swung out with his sword again.

The two sword beams collided, and the entire competition stage shook violently.

Yue Fanchen took a half step back, but Jiang Qiling just swayed a few times before steadying herself. Obviously, Jiang Qiling had the upper hand.

"Come on, Jiang Qiling, beat him back to Joetsu!"

"The swordsman from Shangyue Country dares to show off his power in our Dragon Academy. Let's show him how powerful we are." Upon seeing this, the disciples below the stage cheered loudly and cheered for Jiang Qiling.

Although the Little Witch of Longyan has a bad reputation, when facing foreign enemies, these academy disciples are united and their spearhead is directed against the outside world.

Hearing the cheers from the audience, Jiang Qiling became even more energized and swung her sword again.

Yue Fanchen went forward without any hesitation.

The sound of swords hummed, sparks flew, and waves of energy rolled on the competition stage. In the blink of an eye, the two men had exchanged more than a hundred moves.

Although the winner could not be determined, Jiang Qiling's advantage became more and more obvious, and the power of the sword in her hand became stronger and stronger. As one side gained strength while the other lost, Yue Fanchen felt a little stretched, and it became increasingly difficult to cope.

Obviously, if this continues, Yue Fanchen will not be able to hold on for too long.

The cheers from the audience were even louder, as if they had already seen Jiang Qiling defeat Yue Fanchen with a single sword strike, bringing fame and prestige to Anyun Kingdom.

No one noticed that Longya, Longdan and Longxin were holding long swords and looking at Jiang Qiling on the competition stage with a relaxed and playful smile in their eyes, as if they were looking at a mouse being teased by a cat.
