The sect leader of the Divine Fist Sect had reached his limit and could no longer tolerate a junior pointing his finger at him and cursing him.
The white-haired old man was about to take action immediately.
Ye Qiu was fearless and filled with murderous intent, already prepared to kill him even if it meant suffering serious injuries.
Meanwhile, the leader of the Divine Fist Sect has already begun to take steps and could launch an attack at any time.
"Zhou Si, you'd better think this through. If you make a move, I will definitely send out the Shadow Guards to raze your Divine Fist Sect to the ground."
Wu Daofeng spoke coldly.
With just one sentence, Zhou Si, the sect leader of the Divine Fist Sect, froze in place, not daring to take another step forward.
"You're willing to become an enemy of my Divine Fist Sect for the sake of a useless disciple?" Zhou Si stared intently at Wu Daofeng.
"I will not interfere in the competition among the younger generation, but if any of the older generation dares to bully the students of my Jiedao Academy, I, Wu Daofeng, will fight them to the death, even if it means mutual destruction."
"If you don't believe in superstition, you can try it. I think it won't be a problem to wipe out everyone in your Divine Fist Sect." Wu Daofeng said coldly.
"Heh, it seems you value this arrogant young man highly. You must have high hopes for him, right? No wonder you came to the event in person this year."
"This is not your concern, it has nothing to do with you, get lost." Wu Daofeng stood with his hands behind his back, exuding a powerful aura.
This aura surprised even Ye Qiu.
Although Jiedao Academy is a lowly institution, Wu Daofeng is by no means weak.
Zhou Si's face was extremely ugly; he wanted to make a move but dared not.
Just as he was caught in a dilemma, a young disciple whispered, "Sect Master, there's no need to lower yourself to their level now. The league is about to start, and this bunch of useless trash from Jiedao Academy will probably be eliminated in the first round. There's not a single one of them who can fight. If we compete with them now, it will only bring them a lot of attention, which is not worth it."
“That makes sense.” Zhou Si followed up, “Then let’s just sit back and wait to see the entire Jiedao Academy be wiped out.”
“That’s exactly right.” The young disciple revealed a sinister smile.
This little incident passed quickly and didn't attract much attention.
Because the Jiedao Academy was never valued by people!
"Boss, you were absolutely awesome just now, I love it." Tian Hao gave a thumbs up.
“I think so too. Brother, don’t worry. If that old bastard dares to cause trouble, just have Tian Hao ask his father to take action and suppress the Divine Fist Sect. His father is the prefect of Tongcheng. Today, it just so happens that the prefect’s office is here to oversee the situation,” Zhang Dekao said with a smile.
“That’s right, boss. Just say the word if you need anything, and we’ll make that old bastard his grandson in no time,” Tian Hao assured, patting his chest.
"Don't rush," Ye Qiu said. "If even a Divine Fist Sect member needs your father's help, then we shouldn't participate in this league."
“That’s true,” Gu Si said. “But if you encounter unfair treatment or if someone uses their power to bully you, the three of us brothers will stand by your side.”
"Alright, it's just a pity that the three of you won't be able to shine this year," Ye Qiu said with a smile.
“It’s alright. Boss, you’ve overpowered everyone. We’re proud of that too,” Zhang Dekao immediately replied.
"No problem."
"We still prefer to cheer for our eldest brother from the audience."
All three of them spoke in turn.
Beside them, Long Yue and Wu Manman were both quite taken aback.
These three spoiled brats from the academy actually show such respect to Ye Qiu, who has only been in the academy for a short time?
You should know that even Palace Master Wu Daofeng couldn't control these three spoiled brats.
"When did the four of you start hanging out together?" Wu Daofeng couldn't help but ask curiously.
“Palace Master, Brother Ye is in the same dormitory as us. The night he came in, we had a pleasant and wonderful time together,” Gu Si said shyly.
Bang.
Ye Qiu kicked Gu Si in the butt: "Damn it, talk properly."
"Brother Ye, I know I was wrong."
Gu Si immediately begged for mercy.
"Gu Si, haven't you always been the most arrogant person in the academy? How come..."
"Everyone, please be quiet." A dignified voice suddenly rang out, interrupting Long Yue's words.
Ahead, on a high platform, a middle-aged man stepped onto the stage, holding a microphone and shouting loudly.
Behind him stood about a dozen people, men and women, each with a serious expression.
"Tian Hao, your dad looks more handsome than you," Zhang Dekao teased.
"Get lost."
Tian Hao glared at Zhang Dekao.
Indeed, the person on the high platform is Tian Gao, the prefect of Tongcheng.
As the prefect, he naturally had to personally deliver the opening speech at such a high-level competition as the Tongcheng League.
After the scene quieted down a bit, Tian Gao announced loudly: "The annual league is about to start today. The competition will be the same as in previous years, with both literary and martial arts competitions. However, there are many changes to the competition rules this year. The competition will be divided into two areas from the beginning: the literary competition and the martial arts competition."
All participants can choose to enter either the literary or martial arts competition area from the outset, but this choice cannot be changed once made. Ten people from each area will advance to the finals. The ten finalists from the literary competition area will then face off against the ten finalists from the martial arts competition area in a series of matches to determine the final ten. These ten finalists will not only receive rewards from the Tongcheng League but will also represent Tongcheng in the Great Dragon League.
"Your Excellency, since we've been divided into two competition zones and it's a free choice, can we divide our ten participants equally between the two zones?" an old man asked loudly.
“Of course, you are all free to choose.” Tian Gao smiled and said, “But there is one thing you need to know in advance. For example, if the Zhang family sends five people to each of the two competition areas, and two of them eventually advance to the finals, then these two people can no longer fight side by side. If the two unfortunately meet in the finals, they will still have to compete, and the loser will be eliminated.”
"Understood."
The old man frowned, deep in thought.
Meanwhile, many people are also discussing it.
"This rule is a bit cruel, but it's also fair and quite interesting. It's better to spread people out into two competition zones than to put all your eggs in one basket."
"I think so too, but if both sides have someone in the finals, wouldn't that lead to infighting?"
"What's wrong with infighting? If both sides have their own people in the finals, it means that someone will definitely secure a spot in the top ten. It's worth it."
Hearing the discussions around him, Wu Daofeng appeared calm and composed.
"Grandpa, what do you think we should choose?" Wu Manman asked softly.
"Don't ask me, ask Ye Qiu," Wu Daofeng said calmly.
"Senior, you should decide. I'll listen to you," Ye Qiu said with a smile.
Wu Daofeng glanced at Ye Qiu and said calmly, "You can choose whichever region you want. As for the other nine guys, you know I have no expectations for them. They have no hope of entering any region."
