After Xu Yuehuai went up, many people looked at her with friendly, curious, and jealous eyes. Xu Yuehuai remained calm and composed. With the sound of a whistle, the competition officially began.
Xu Yuehuai was immediately surrounded by several people from three different factions. They exchanged glances, then smiled and said, "It seems quite a few people want to learn Senior Sister Xu's techniques today! However, there's an order to things. It's not appropriate for so many of us to bully one person. How about we, the disciples of our academy, ask Senior Sister Xu for guidance first?"
The man looked at the Guo family members and the Pu family members.
The leader of the Guo family members agreed without hesitation. They were just there for the fun, and now that they could do someone a favor, they were happy to do it. But the three Pu family members who were there for the fun clearly didn't think so. They looked at the other academy disciples aggressively and said, "What's the difference between first come and first served in a fight? I admire my young lady and know that Miss Xu is a good friend of hers. I would like to ask her for some pointers. Perhaps if we miss this opportunity, we will probably never see each other again."
The Pu family disciples refused to back down, and the people from the academy felt they had lost face. They gritted their teeth and said, "Then let's have a fight."
As they spoke, the two sides started fighting. Xu Yuehuai stood in the open space and met the gaze of the Guo family disciple. The other party shook his head and laughed at Xu Yuehuai, saying, "We didn't want to fight you, we were just joining in the fun. We'll be leaving now."
With that, he slipped away from the fighting circle.
When Xu Yuehuai saw this scene, she thought it was arranged by Dean Guo for her. She glanced at the audience, but in that one glance, she saw the confusion in Guo Yanzhi's eyes. She wondered if she had misunderstood.
Dean Guo looked at the stage with a slightly displeased expression, and said to Dean Fu Jia beside him, "Didn't you tell some of the disciples before they went up on stage not to provoke those powerful personal disciples? What's the deal with those people?"
While Dean Guo was thinking of his apprentice, as the dean of the academy, he felt a strange sensation when he saw his disciple innocently provoking others.
Dean Fu Jia shook his head and said, "Quan Cang handled this matter. Quan Cang is always reliable, and he should have done a good job. It's just that these disciples find it novel and want to play around with it."
Dean Guo slammed his hand on the table, saying angrily, "This is utterly absurd! How can they just treat something like this as a game!"
Instead of instructing them not to fight each other, the academy provided a list of the academy's more powerful senior students for the other students to see, warning them not to provoke them during the competition, or they wouldn't even know how they got kicked out of the ring.
But there are always one or two stubborn individuals who want to disobey, and the trainees can't control them. "Let them suffer a bit and they'll know just how foolish their decision was!"
Dean Guo snorted coldly.
Seeing that they were fighting fiercely and evenly, Xu Yuehuai stood still and watched them fight. She was also curious to know who the winner would be.
Pu Erge's situation wasn't as relaxed as Xu Yuehuai's. He didn't come back often, and no one recognized him, so many people attacked him from the beginning. Although Pu Erge ultimately won, he also consumed a lot of his spiritual energy.
After the two sides finished their fight and it was a draw, Xu Yuehuai stepped forward and interjected, "Are you done fighting? Do you want to fight me again? Who among you will fight me?"
Xu Yuehuai was itching to take action. She hadn't made a move since taking the stage, mainly because all three forces had some connection to her, making it difficult to target any of them.
Upon hearing this, both sides shook their heads. When they heard the second half of Xu Yuehuai's sentence, they surprisingly pointed at each other's heads in unison.
Seeing that so much time had been wasted and there were fewer than twenty people on the stage, Xu Yuehuai grabbed two people by the collar and threw all six of them off the stage. After throwing them off, she patted her hands, which were red from being tied up, and said, "Since you don't want to fight me, in order to end the competition sooner, I'll send you off first."
After dealing with the matter here, Xu Yuehuai joined the melee. She didn't care who her opponents were. When she went on stage, the elders said that everyone was fighting individually and there was no need to feel pressured.
In the end, only Xu Yuehuai and Pu Erge remained on the stage. The two smiled at each other, as if they had guessed this outcome. They first bowed to each other, and after doing so, the two began to fight. The clash of weapons on the scene sparked sparks, making the people below feel excited.
"These two seem quite promising; they're among the better prospects in this lower class," Elder Zisang praised generously.
Elder Zhan, who was standing nearby, scoffed and said, "The two of them are nothing special. Only a lowly sect like yours would take them seriously."
Elder Zhan didn't think they were weak; he just couldn't stand all the participants from the lower realm, believing they all had ulterior motives and weren't very strong.
Elder Zisang wasn't angry at being spoken to like that. He simply asked politely, "Elder Zhan doesn't think much of these two. Please don't argue with us later."
Elder Sima chimed in, "That's right, Lao Zhan, don't choose them later."
The two men's back-and-forth banter successfully darkened Elder Zhan's face. The more others tried to prevent him from getting something, the more he wanted it. He retorted, "You all want to compete for it. If I don't participate, I'll seem like an outsider."
Elder Zisang smiled upon hearing this and said nothing more.
Pu Erge's spiritual energy consumption was greater than Xu Yuehuai's, so his idea was to finish the battle quickly. He used all his strength in every attack and did not hold back at all because she was his little sister's friend.
However, Xu Yuehuai withstood each attack and even managed to counterattack. Only then did Pu Erge realize just how powerful this girl was. Most ordinary people would have surrendered or even been sent flying by his fierce attacks, but Xu Yuehuai not only did not, but she also withstood his attacks head-on.
"It seems you are a very strong opponent, just as my little sister said. I have lost." Pu Erge knew he had lost this round after only a few rounds with Xu Yuehuai.
He bowed to Xu Yuehuai, then jumped off the stage. Xu Yuehuai, as the winner of the fourth round of the arena, stepped off the stage.
After going down, Ji Yuanchi pounced on Xu Yuehuai and hugged her tightly.
