Ji Yuanchi could tolerate others insulting her, but she couldn't tolerate anyone insulting Xu Yuehuai. Before Xu Yuehuai could retort, she sneered at Yu Er and said, "Vulgar and unbearable? Are you talking about yourself? To say such targeted things in public and insult me, as your senior sister, is disrespectful! Furthermore, Yueyue is also your senior sister, pointing at her is also disrespectful!"
Ji Yuanchi is well-mannered and has been beaten many times for her behavior. Yu Er said that disrespecting teachers and elders is completely in her territory.
Yu Er was speechless after being rebuked, but Ji Yuanchi had no intention of letting her off so easily. She continued, "Since you can say such rebellious things to me and Yueyue today, will you say the same things to other senior brothers and sisters in the future? Will you talk about the elders and deans behind their backs?"
Ji Yuan didn't explicitly state the meaning behind her words, but anyone with eyes could hear that she was implying that if Yu Er treated them this way today, how well could she treat others in the future?
Yu Er retorted angrily, "Shut up! I didn't mean that at all. Don't try to twist the truth! The only people I've ever insulted are the two of you. Who else is this? They have no grudge against me, so why would I provoke them?"
Yu Er thought her words made perfect sense, but little did she know that from that moment on, she had fallen into the trap that Ji Yuanchi had prepared for her. "So, if any senior brother or sister, or elder, makes you unhappy or displeased, you can treat them as enemies and provoke them, is that right?"
"No!" Yu Er quickly denied, not to mention that there were several elders around, and all the senior brothers and sisters sitting above were senior brothers and sisters.
"Then I don't understand. Yueyue and I feel that we have no grudge against you. If you hadn't suddenly appeared and started causing trouble, we would have almost forgotten who you are." Ji Yuanchi saw that the competition was about to start and did not want to make too much of a fuss. After saying this, she sat down leisurely.
Yu Er was now so angry she didn't know where to vent it. She could see that all the elders had come over to explain the rules and regulations for the competition.
She suppressed her anger, intending to deal with them properly after they lost the election.
She might not be as good as him in public, but surely she can do it in private?
Yu Er gazed intently ahead with deep, unwavering eyes.
Ji Yuanchi returned victorious and looked at Xu Yuehuai with a look of seeking praise in her eyes. Xu Yuehuai did not disappoint her and praised her several times.
Quan Cang, who had been silent the whole time, touched his nose and said leisurely, "I always thought Junior Sister Ji was a gentle and weak junior sister, but today she really opened my eyes with her sharp tongue."
As their senior brother and good friend, Quan Cang naturally wanted to speak up for them, but for some reason, he was interrupted every time he was about to speak. At first, he would sit next to them with a resentful look, but later, seeing how capable the two junior sisters were, he could only awkwardly touch his nose and then sit quietly in his seat trying not to hold them back.
Ji Yuanchi snorted smugly, "Of course, I'm a big shot. There's nothing I can't handle in front of Yueyue!"
While the group was chatting, the elders and others approached them and began to earnestly give them instructions. "This competition not only includes people from our academy, but also people from the other two major families."
Upon hearing this, someone immediately expressed their dissatisfaction, "What is this all about! I went through so much trouble to get into the academy just for the qualification, and now you're telling me that the two major families can also participate? I should have known better than to come! I would have just asked my grandfather to add a spot for me!"
Some members of the Guo and Pu families in the academy began to feel unhappy. Everyone had come for this competition, which in previous years only recruited people from the academy. Although the families were dissatisfied, they did not say anything for the sake of the opportunity to advance.
But now the rules have been changed, and this was announced less than 15 minutes before the start of the competition.
It should be noted that both families have many elite soldiers and generals; if they were to join, it would inevitably lead to another bloody conflict.
Those people were not only strong, but also arrogant; they were all people who couldn't bring themselves to come to the academy.
"That's right! Although I'm an outer disciple, my family has some connections, so getting a spot from the main family shouldn't be difficult!"
The elder waited for everyone to discuss, and only interrupted them when it was almost time, saying, "There are a total of sixty people from the two families involved, and they will be coming up on stage with you later."
"I'm telling you this now because I want to tell you that there is no such thing as a group battle. This is an individual battle. Don't think that just because you are disciples of the academy, you can target the people of the two major families. If you fail to advance but offend the families, you will have to collect your own corpses. The academy will not care!" The elder's words were a warning.
There are a total of 220 disciples from the academy participating in this competition. Including those from their families, there are a total of 280 participants. However, only about 50 of them may be successfully taken to the second level.
Everyone here is an elite among elites. Don't let them have to be selected a second time after the first selection. It's like going through five rounds of trials and tribulations.
Ji Yuanchi didn't feel anything when she heard this. Anyway, she wasn't trying to get into the academy and go to the second floor; she just wanted to follow Xu Yuehuai.
...
Time was up quickly, and the surrounding air suddenly shifted, as if being torn apart. Some of those present couldn't withstand the commotion and vomited blood on the spot; most looked pale. The participants in the competition area knew this was just a small test; if they couldn't even handle this, there was no way they could go to the second floor.
So everyone put on a brave face, trying not to show any weakness.
During this time, the surrounding sky darkened, and a strong wind blew, making the surrounding trees rustle.
Xu Yuehuai and Quan Cang didn't feel anything, only that the air was a little stuffy. Ji Yuanchi, however, was not in such a good state. She felt as if a pair of hands were tearing at her flesh, constantly pulling it outwards without stopping. She tried to use her spiritual power to relieve the discomfort, but found that she had no strength to gather spiritual power at all.
Xu Yuehuai noticed that something was wrong with her. He placed his hand on her shoulder, and a faint light emanated from Xu Yuehuai's hand, heading towards Ji Yuanchi's body. The two became connected through Xu Yuehuai's hand and Ji Yuanchi's shoulder.
When the light reached Ji Yuanchi's body, she felt much better. Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Xu Yuehuai, blinking, and a smile appeared on her lips.
