After the individual competition, the ring competition will follow immediately.
The opponents in the ring matches will still be determined by the order of the draw.
As the main representative of Longteng Academy, Qiao Xingxing took the initiative to draw lots on stage and ended up drawing an unknown ordinary academy—Haozheng Academy.
Haozheng Academy and Ruifeng Academy were established around the same time.
However, because Haozheng Academy adheres to the school motto of prioritizing morality, it places more emphasis on the character assessment of students compared to Ruifeng Academy. As a result, even when the joint school exam was held, it was unable to recruit students with outstanding abilities.
Of the three representatives sent for this exam, the highest level of Beast Taming was only the fifth level of the Heavenly Evolution Realm.
Upon hearing the draw results, Cui Peng immediately raised his hand, indicating that he wanted to be the first to play.
"The highest level of the opponent is only the fifth level of the Heavenly Evolution Realm. I am confident that I can definitely stand until the end!"
Don't underestimate Cui Peng just because he's only at the fourth level of the Heavenly Evolution Realm, which is one level lower than the highest level opponent. He's confident that he can defeat enemies of higher levels, and even opponents at the fifth level of the Heavenly Evolution Realm are not worthy of his attention!
Upon hearing this, Qiao Xingxing lowered her head and remained silent, her eyes dark and unfathomable.
Seeing that Qiao Xingxing did not refute him, Cui Peng assumed that she had tacitly agreed, and his expression became even more excited.
"I'll take on all three of you in this arena match; you can just sit back and watch the show!"
As he spoke.
Cui Peng turned to look at Lu Yuan, who was sitting on the sofa.
"Especially you, kid!"
"Stand back and watch my brave and fearless figure. Learn and watch carefully. After this game is over, I might teach you a couple of tricks since we both took the league exam together!"
Lu Yuan didn't even raise his head when faced with the arrogant and smug Cui Peng.
As if he hadn't heard anything, he kept his head down the whole time, carefully reading the ancient book in his hands.
Seeing his expression, Cui Peng immediately jumped up and down.
Hey! Did you even hear what I said?!
Only then did Lu Yuan slowly raise his head, feigning ignorance as he looked at him.
"Huh? Are you talking to me?"
"you……!"
Seeing Lu Yuan's expression of complete ignorance, Cui Peng felt as if he had punched a cotton ball, and his face turned red with anger.
"Alright!" Qiao Xingxing, who had been silent all along, spoke up at the right moment. "After this match, it will be our turn to go on stage. Let's take this time to adjust our condition and set off immediately!"
Upon hearing Qiao Xingxing's words, Cui Peng immediately dropped his playful expression and adopted a serious attitude.
Then.
Cui Peng was the first to walk out of the preparation room and head towards the arena below, with Qiao Xingxing following closely behind.
Seeing this, Lu Yuan quickly followed.
...
The three arrived at the central arena.
The previous match had just ended.
Staff are quickly and carefully cleaning the bloodstains and dirt off the table to ensure that the next match will not be disrupted due to the venue.
Lu Yuan waited until the staff finished cleaning the arena before following Cui Peng and Qiao Xingxing onto the stage.
"Where's the representative from Haozheng Academy?! I'm here!"
Cui Peng stood at the very front, a haughty smile on his face.
Such an arrogant and overbearing attitude suggests that he doesn't take the other party seriously at all.
"Hmph! What's with the arrogance?"
Liu Yang, the representative of Haozheng Academy, also jumped onto the stage, raising his chin to look at Cui Peng.
"They're just the perennial runner-up of Dragon Academy, yet they dare to boast here?"
"Who the hell are you calling a perennial runner-up?!" Cui Peng jumped up and down, his neck stiff as he roared, "I've gotten third place before, you know?!"
"..."
Everyone present fell silent.
Even Lu Yuan couldn't help but twitch his lips.
He knew beforehand that before the arena battles began, representatives from each academy would trash talk their opponents.
This has become a must-watch program for joint school exams.
But he didn't expect that.
Cui Peng seemed to be inhuman, completely unable to understand the other party's sarcasm, making it feel like the other party had punched cotton, causing no pain or itch, while Cui Peng himself felt quite frustrated.
However, none of the students who were able to represent the college in the exam were useless.
After Cui Peng said something that could be used as a comedy sketch, Liu Yang immediately turned his attention to Lu Yuan.
"I heard that your Dragon Academy actually sent a freshman to take the exam this year. Could it be that you're scared and have decided to give up completely?"
As he spoke.
Liu Yang even gave Lu Yuan a very contemptuous smile.
However.
Lu Yuan was looking down, fiddling with his fingers, not even sparing him a glance.
On the contrary, Cui Peng was furious.
"Pah! Do you think I'm afraid of a bunch of trash like you? The reason I brought a freshman to the exam is to show you bunch of garbage that even if I bring a piece of trash, I can still beat you!"
Lu Yuan, standing below the stage: ...
Throwing trash talk is one thing.
Why would someone use such a roundabout way to insult others?
It really is a stunner!
"Alright!"
It was Qiao Xingxing who took the initiative to stop this idiotic verbal battle, staring intently at Liu Yang across from her.
"No amount of trash talk will change anything; let's settle this in the ring."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yang snorted coldly.
"That's exactly what I was thinking! I'll show you the strength of Haozheng Academy!"
After the words were spoken, both sides returned to their respective preparation seats.
According to the previously agreed sorting.
Longteng Academy's team was led by Cui Peng, followed by Qiao Xingxing, while Lu Yuan was placed last.
In Cui Peng's words, the goal is to avoid letting him go on stage and embarrass himself.
In response to this.
Lu Yuan did not express any objection.
Since he can slack off openly and legitimately, why would he bother to find work for himself?
Moreover, given the beast-taming level and strength of these students, they were no match for Qiao Xingxing.
then.
Lu Yuan simply found a shady spot, sat down cross-legged, and took out an ancient book from his pocket to begin reading.
His actions were seen as a direct provocation by the three student representatives from Haozheng Academy.
Liu Yang's eyes widened in anger as he stared intently at Lu Yuan.
"You freshmen from Dragon Soaring Academy are so arrogant! I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget!"
Cui Peng secretly glared at Lu Yuan, but when he turned to look at Liu Yang, he burst into a smug laugh.
"Fine! I'd like to see how you three can teach me a lesson!"
The words fell.
The examiners simultaneously waved their hands to give the order.
"Dragon Academy versus Haozheng Academy, the arena battle begins now!"
