Her opponent was a girl from the intermediate class. When the girl saw that her opponent was Lan Xi, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and her eyes were filled with confidence. Lan Xi was rumored to be a master of formations, but no one had said how strong she was. How strong could someone who could be in the Earth-level class be?
The look in her eyes naturally did not escape Ji Jiuying's notice, but she remained expressionless.
The opponent had no skills whatsoever and just charged straight at her, which shows how confident she was!
Ji Jiuying looked at the woman charging towards her and couldn't help but want to laugh. If she wanted to, she could take the woman down in one move, but she didn't want to reveal too much so quickly. Since the rules said to keep it to around ten moves, then so be it!
The darkness appeared in her hand, seemingly a struggle, but in reality, every move was precise and to the point. After exchanging a few blows, the woman became puzzled. Although she had clearly suppressed her, every move was easily countered by her, and she couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
On the stage, Yuehua narrowed her eyes, looking at Ji Jiuying with a probing gaze.
"Which class is that girl in black in?"
Upon hearing this, Huang Qiming replied, "Your Majesty, that is my disciple, named Lan Xi, who is Lan Zhao's younger sister."
Yuehua paused. Lanxi? The person rumored to be with Xuanjing?
"I've heard that Lan Zhao's sister is a genius in formations?"
Huang Qiming thought of the killing formation she had set up earlier and smiled, "This girl is aloof, but she does have a good talent for formations."
"Why didn't I see her at the freshman orientation?"
“Your Majesty, she entered the academy later.”
Yuehua was slightly taken aback; "Do you know who recommended you?"
"I heard it was introduced by the Dean's close friend, the Second Master Feng of the Feng family."
When Yuehua heard that Ji Jiuying was introduced by Feng Che, a look of inquiry and doubt flashed in her eyes as she looked at Ji Jiuying. So it was him who recommended her... From the very first move she made, she realized that this girl was quite strong. Right now, she was just playing around with her opponent. Her intuition told her that her name would definitely be among the ten spots this year.
"Congratulations, Professor Huang!"
Yuehua's inexplicable words startled Huang Qiming slightly, and even the mentors beside him looked at Yuehua with confusion.
Just then, the outcome of the match was decided: "Number 20 wins!"
Huang Qiming then belatedly realized, could it be because of that girl?
The girl in the middle class stood there stunned. She had been doing so well in the beginning, so how could she have suddenly lost? It all happened in an instant, and she didn't even have time to react until the cold-faced mentor on stage announced her defeat.
"you!"
"Thank you for the concession." Ji Jiuying walked down expressionlessly.
The students from the Earth-level class stared in horror at Xuan Jing and Ji Jiuying. So far, they were the only two from their Earth-level class to have achieved victory, and this year they were finally no longer cannon fodder! Although they were excited, no one dared to approach them because of their personalities.
Leng Qingqing glared at Ji Jiuying with hostility. She had only won by luck; if she were to face Leng Qingqing, she would definitely make her pay.
Perhaps heaven heard her heart's desire, or perhaps it was just bad luck that the two of them met again in the second round!
Looking at the two people on the stage, Lan Zhao and Feng Yu frowned. The two had argued that morning, and now that they were facing off, Leng Qingqing probably wouldn't let her off the hook.
"Didn't expect to run into me in the second round! Even a genius in formations is nothing special; the Earth-level class is still cannon fodder."
Leng Qingqing sneered, completely disregarding Ji Jiuying.
"Alright, you should save your energy for later..."
Ji Jiuying's face remained aloof, but it was precisely this unyielding demeanor that angered Leng Qingqing. Without further ado, she charged at Ji Jiuying with ruthless moves, determined to teach this arrogant brat a lesson and show her the consequences of provoking Leng Qingqing!
Seeing Leng Qingqing's ruthless moves, Ji Jiuying easily dodged them with a leap.
Leng Qingqing gave a cold snort: "Wild Wind Lion Palm".
She gathered power in her palm, and a hand carrying a whirlwind, along with overwhelming force, rushed towards Ji Jiuying.
Everyone was stunned for a moment. Leng Qingqing came out with a killing move right away, clearly intending to cripple Lan Xi. If Lan Xi were hit by such a powerful force, she would suffer serious injuries even if she wasn't crippled. Some of the people couldn't bear to watch anymore.
"Lan Zhao, your sister has offended someone as vengeful as Leng Qingqing. She's probably going to suffer a lot." Jiang Xin looked at the two on the stage with pity.
Although there was some worry in Lan Zhao's eyes, for some reason, he always felt that she would not be easily defeated by Leng Qingqing.
Feng Yu narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, "Xin'er, you can't judge a book by its cover. This battle seems to be Leng Qingqing's advantage, but Lan Xi dealt with it without breaking a sweat. It is clear that she did not use her full strength. A person who can easily neutralize the opponent's spiritual technique without using his full strength must be quite strong."
Lan Zhao glanced at Feng Yu with some surprise, while Jiang Xin looked at Feng Yu with suspicion: "Brother Yu, do you mean that Lan Xi is hiding her strength?"
"Xin'er, take a good look."
Hearing Feng Yu's words, Jiang Xin pouted. Was Feng Yu overestimating Lan Xi? For some reason, she didn't want her to win at all. Ever since she appeared, Feng Yu's eyes had been subtly watching her. Even Lan Zhao, who usually regarded her as number one, had changed.
On the stage, a cold glint flashed in Ji Jiuying's eyes. A giant hand kept enlarging in front of her. She quickly retreated with a leap, and spiritual energy slowly gathered in the darkness. Just when everyone thought that the power would fall on Ji Jiuying, an unexpected event occurred.
Ji Jiuying performed a backflip, her all-black sword slashing fiercely at the giant palm. The sudden burst of power, carrying an overwhelming chill, cleaved the giant palm in two with lightning speed.
The force spread out in a circular pattern in all directions, and the unexpected scene sent Leng Qingqing, who thought victory was in her grasp, flying. She landed on the edge of the arena and coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Before she could even get up and see what was going on, a cold object touched her neck, startling her so much that she stood there dumbfounded.
Not only her, but everyone in the audience was stunned.
What did they see! They thought Blue Creek was doomed to lose, but they didn't expect there to be a reversal, and such an outrageous one at that.
In just two moves, Lan Xi defeated Leng Qingqing from the Heavenly Class!
The Moon Goddess looked at Ji Jiuying in surprise. This girl was indeed hiding her true abilities. With her talent, why would she choose to be in the Earth-level class? Thinking of Feng Che's purpose in coming to the academy, the Moon Goddess couldn't help but look at Ji Jiuying a few more times.
