Chapter 1278: Chapter 1278: Enchanting Heart Butterfly
"Sikong Yu?"
Sikong Yu’s appearance on stage also drew the attention of the surrounding disciples who were watching the competition.
Although not as fanatically admired as Linghu Wang, someone recognized him immediately.
"Sikong Yu, one of the new disciples at Heavenly Hidden Academy, the Yukong Bloodline holder, a born Array Master."
"It’s said that when he first joined two years ago, he almost broke the record of the Sky-reaching Formation."
"Currently a Direct Disciple under Sky-reaching Peak."
"It is heard that this person’s talent is exceptional, greatly favored by Sky-reaching Peak Elder, and it is already certain he will be the next Chief of Sky-reaching Peak."
Sikong Yu’s reputation is clearly less than Linghu Wang’s.
But there were still quite a few discussions among the nearby watching disciples.
In the seats of Black Cloud Academy, Qing Lin unconsciously glanced at Xiao Yi.
Only to find Xiao Yi still pretending to be asleep, an ordinary look on his face.
The Vice Dean watched Xiao Yi’s affairs within Heavenly Hidden Academy from start to finish, understanding everything clearly.
And what the Vice Dean knew, Qing Lin was similarly aware.
"You’re lucky not to face me." Qing Lin glanced at Sikong Yu on the Martial Arts Arena, thinking secretly.
At this moment, the battle on the Martial Arts Arena had already begun.
Sikong Yu’s opponent was just a disciple from an ordinary academic palace, ranked dozens behind him, with no pressure.
The battle lasted only a few minutes.
"Sky-reaching Holy Wind Formation." Sikong Yu shouted.
Boom...
A Great Formation suddenly arose on the Martial Arts Arena.
Inside the Great Formation, fierce winds swept through.
In just a moment, the disciple was injured by the fierce wind and was blown off the Martial Arts Arena.
"This battle, Heavenly Hidden Academy, Sikong Yu wins." The three referees loudly announced the result.
The surrounding spectator seats also echoed with discussions, "Impressive, he won cleanly and swiftly."
"Barring any accidents, Sikong Yu is definitely one of the dark horses in this Hundred Schools competition."
In the center of the spectator seats, several Heavenly Hidden Academy Elders looked at Sikong Yu, nodding frequently, faces full of praise.
The competitions on the Martial Arts Arena reignited as Sikong Yu stepped down.
Round after round of battles occurred, yet temporarily, there were no spectacular matches.
Until several hours later.
"Number 1347, Golden Dawn Academy, Golden Dawn, take the stage." A referee shouted loudly.
"Here comes another Chief from one of the Five Great Academies." The long-awaited cheers from the young disciples of the academies erupted again at the surrounding spectator seats.
Golden Dawn’s opponent was also just a normal disciple.
The battle was without suspense and ended quickly.
Round after round, the competitions continued.
"Number 1603, Cangyun Academy, Tang Sha, take the stage."
"Oh? One of the Two Tang." The eyes of the nearby watching disciples brightened.
"Tang Qianliu had terrible luck, faced Linghu Wang, and was defeated before he could show his skills."
"Sandstorm Tang Sha didn’t encounter a Chief from the Five Great Academies this time, so he probably will win easily."
Tang Sha’s opponent was a disciple from an academic palace ranked in the teens.
...
"Number 1859, Heavenly Hidden Academy, Lih Fengxing, take the stage."
"Wind Spear Lih Fengxing? Another fierce fighter." The surrounding disciples continuously discussed.
"A Direct Disciple under Sky Dragon Peak and also the Sub Hall Master of Wind Shattering Hall."
"It is said this person is not only heavily favored by Sky Dragon Peak Elder but also holds a position in one of Wind Shattering Hall’s Ten Main Halls, with limitless prospects."
...
"Number 1901, Heavenly Hidden Academy, Fang Shushu, take the stage."
"Seven-orifice Fang Shushu?" The exclamation from the surrounding spectator seats erupted again.
Though the cheer wasn’t as loud or fanatical as for Linghu Wang and Golden Dawn, the Chiefs of Five Great Academies, it was more intense than for Tang Sha and Tang Qianliu.
There were frequent Martial Arts exchanges between the Martial Arts Academies.
But if discussing the most renowned and rapidly rising Supreme Genius among the new disciples in each academy, it would be Fang Shushu.
Seven-orifice Fang Shushu is the only person among the Martial Arts Academies who can be compared in reputation to the Chiefs of the Five Great Academies, and he is merely a new disciple.
...
Time gradually passed, and after a whole day, the first round of battles was still ongoing.
The Hundred Schools competition, a major event on Flame Dragon Continent, was indeed bustling.
The Heavenly Talents from each Martial Arts Academy gathered at the surrounding spectator seats.
Such an event could never end quickly.
However, any of the battles here, if held outside, would be a rare and spectacular competition between Heavenly Talents.
Several hours later.
"Number 2201, Black Cloud Academy, Qin Yi, take the stage."
"Number 2202, Heavenly Hidden Academy, Mo Youh, take the stage."
Swish... Swish...
Two figures leap onto the Martial Arts Arena.
However, these two did not cause much stir among the surrounding spectator seats.
Evidently, these two have little fame within their respective academies.
Qin Yi needs not much discussion.
Black Cloud Academy scarcely interacts with any Martial Arts Academy.
As for Mo Youh, she is a woman in a red dress.
Though not stunningly beautiful, she is quite attractive.
Judging by her appearance, she is just over 20 years old.
"Mo Youh?" On the Martial Arts Arena, Qin Yi glanced at the woman and sneered.
"This name is somewhat similar to our senior brother Mo Youu."
"However, the power and Cultivation are far behind."
The woman, namely Mo Youh, said coldly, "Are Black Cloud Academy people always so arrogant?"
"Indeed it confirms the saying, ’Birds of a feather flock together.’"
"Especially some little thieves are particularly annoying."
Mo Youh spoke coldly while turning her gaze slightly, looking toward Xiao Yi in the Black Cloud Academy seats.
Her gaze clearly carried hostility and disdain.
"Hmm?" Xiao Yi frowned.
Though pretending to be asleep, he opened his eyes when Qin Yi took the stage.
He usually takes a few glances when Black Cloud Academy disciples are fighting.
At that moment, seeing the hostile look from the red-dressed woman, he frowned.
"Xiao Yi, do you know her?" Qing Lin asked puzzledly beside him.
Xiao Yi shook his head, "We’ve never met."
"Lying to ghosts, are you?" Qing Lin’s face was strange, "Never met, but she looks at you like this?"
"Would it be another romantic trouble you caused outside?"
"No." Xiao Yi shook his head again.
Qing Lin pouted, his face obviously showed disbelief.
"Seems like sometimes looking good isn’t such a good thing."
"Like me, not that I’m the handsome son, unrivaled and charming; yet quite dashing and favorably attractive."
"Men, it’s good enough to not be bad; being too handsome and attracting romantic trouble, quite troublesome."
Qing Lin casually mumbled, "Didn’t you say you didn’t know Muu Ning last time? Just a few days ago on Five Spirit Peak, she called you ’Xiao Yi’ sweetly."
"Now, another one arrives, sigh..."
Qing Lin rambled on, but seeing Xiao Yi beside him, with a head full of black lines and an unhappy face, he quickly shut up.
At this moment, a painful cry rang out on the Martial Arts Arena.
"Hmm?" Qing Lin was startled, his expression straightened, looking toward the Martial Arts Arena.
There, Qin Yi was rolling on the ground, face stricken with pain.
In front of Qin Yi, the red-dressed woman sneered, and waves of red powder drifted along with the wind.
"It’s Charming Butterfly Powder." Xiao Yi’s eyes narrowed, watching the red-dressed woman with a slightly grave expression.
...
First update.
