Chapter 37: Place Your Bet
Upon recognizing Li Yuan, Ye Fei immediately withdrew her power: "Li? You're back?"
"Hmm." Li Yuan lowered his hand and glanced at her: "You advanced?"
“Yes, I advanced this morning. It’s a good thing to advance before the freshman trial.” Ye Fei looked at him with a smile: “Weren’t you going to see some acquaintances? Why haven’t you come back for several days?”
Before she could finish speaking, Ye Fei suddenly smelled a faint scent of blood on him, and her expression turned serious: "You're injured?"
“It’s not my blood,” Li Yuan replied calmly, flicking his long fingers across his clothes, instantly dispelling the smell of blood.
"..." Ye Fei glanced at him a few more times, then didn't ask any more questions. "Then let's go and participate in the freshman trial."
*
The freshman trials are held in the academy's training grounds, where all new students must compete against each other at least once.
Lingfeng Academy has a total of seven elders in charge. The First Elder is in charge of the council, the Second, Third, Fourth and Fifth Elders are in charge of recruiting new students, and the Sixth Elder is usually in seclusion for cultivation and only appears when there is something to do.
The most mysterious of all is the Seventh Elder, whose gender and appearance are unknown, and who has never actually appeared in front of the students.
There is a arena made of azure stone in the training ground, and the audience seats can accommodate thousands of people. The Four Beast Candlesticks at the top have eight seats, which are convenient for the Dean and the seven elders to sit down.
Many senior students were sitting in the audience.
According to the rules, the freshman trial is only for freshmen to spar with each other; upperclassmen are not allowed to spar with freshmen.
But this freshman trial is special—the news that Xin Feifei challenged Ye Fei has spread throughout the entire Lingfeng Academy, and many senior students are very interested in this freshman named Ye Fei and have come to watch the battle.
There are even wealthy young men who open small casinos where people place bets on the outcome of a game, and both new and returning students can participate.
"Xin Feifei is on the red side, Ye Fei is on the blue side, ten gold coins is the starting price, betting is now open!"
"You'll get half your gold back if you bet correctly! This is a sure-fire way to make money! Buy at the top and sell!"
A tablecloth was laid on the empty seat, divided into red and blue sections. The red side had countless gold coins, while the blue side had very few.
"I bet on Xin Feifei on the red side! Fifty gold coins!"
"I'm also betting on the red side! I'll put in 100 gold coins!"
“I’ll put in 110 gold coins. Xin Feifei comes from one of the eight great families, so her cultivation level must be quite high.”
"Two hundred gold coins! That good-for-nothing Ye Fei has no chance of winning!"
"I'll bet 300 gold coins! Xin Feifei will definitely win!"
"Pfft, Ye Fei? That peerless good-for-nothing who can't cultivate? Come on, I'll bet a thousand gold coins!"
"I'll bet ten high-grade spirit stones on the blue side."
A clear and pleasant voice suddenly rang out, and everyone turned their attention to the speaker.
Huang Rongyu slowly walked towards the audience, her spotless white robes embroidered with intricate dark patterns. Her robes fluttered gently in the breeze, making her appear like a fairy from a painting before everyone's eyes.
The moment he appeared, the noisy scene fell silent.
The student who placed the bet couldn't help but swallow hard: "Third...Your Highness, are you sure you want to bet so many...high-grade spirit stones on the Blue Team?"
Ten high-grade spirit stones are equivalent to ten thousand gold coins, which is no small amount!
Huang Rongyu took out ten spirit stones from her storage ring, casually placed them on the blue square, and smiled gently at the student: "Confirmed."
"Oh my god..."
The students around couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Who is Ye Fei? How could she get the Third Prince of Lingyun Kingdom to place a bet on her, and a bet of a whopping ten thousand gold coins at that!
Is His Highness the Third Prince not afraid of losing everything?
Not far away, Xin Feifei couldn't help but turn into a ferocious expression.
Although she didn't know how that little bitch Ye Fei managed to hook up with the Third Prince... she was determined to win this sparring match!
