Chapter 576: Chapter 576: Leave Her
"Ye Qingtian, so you only know how to boast."
On the viewing platform, in one of the VIP sections, a young girl in red held a wine glass and looked down at the scene, shaking her head dismissively.
Her seductive figure and stunning beauty moved many.
But no one dared to make a move on her, not only because she was the first Goddess of the Celestial Martial Academy, but more importantly, her granduncle was the dean of the Outer Courtyard.
"Muqing, don’t you have a challenge with him?" the elder asked.
"He’ll definitely be eliminated today. How could he still have the face to challenge me?"
Zhou Muqing retorted.
"This little fellow is really reckless, daring to miss such a grand ceremony." The elder shook his head.
"He’s not reckless; he’s clearly scared." Zhou Muqing said disdainfully.
"Mr. Ye, are you still coming?" Qin Lingyue sighed.
Hua Qianxiao bit her red lips, suddenly gripped You Ruo’s hand, and said softly, "Instructor You Ruo, I’m sorry."
"Qianxiao, this has nothing to do with you, it’s okay. Besides, you are still here."
Instructor You Ruo patted Hua Qianxiao’s shoulder with a smile of comfort.
But her eyes carried a trace of sadness.
If Ye Qingtian doesn’t participate in the Martial Arts Examination, he would be directly eliminated!
Many in Class One had already been eliminated, and if the number continued to increase, Instructor You Ruo’s qualification would be revoked.
"Let’s leave here, Qianxiao. You have a competition tomorrow; don’t wear yourself out too much."
Speaking, Instructor You Ruo felt a sourness at heart, her beautiful eyes flashed with helplessness.
The students of Class One shook their heads and sighed in helplessness.
They were not strong enough, unable to share the burden with Instructor You Ruo.
At that moment, Hua Qianxiao gazed into the distance, her beautiful eyes suddenly burst with brilliance, she stood up abruptly and murmured, "He truly never lets anyone down!"
Hmm?
Qin Lingyue and others were slightly taken aback.
Could it be...?
Whoosh!
A sound pierced through the sky, and everyone’s gaze uniformly turned to the sky.
Then, a black silhouette shot from afar like a cannonball.
Boom!
A loud noise echoed, and a pit was smashed into the arena.
Dust immediately rose.
"It’s you!" Lin Zhen, holding a long sword, shouted coldly.
Hua Qianxiao’s beautiful eyes locked onto the figure amidst the rising dust, a flash of joy appearing across her face.
You Ruo and others, upon seeing that figure, trembled fiercely.
"He has arrived!"
All eyes fell on the black silhouette, which slowly stepped out from the dust, its calm and gentle footsteps making many on the stands’ hearts tremble.
The dust cleared, revealing a slightly youthful face.
The young man, with hands behind his back, seemed ordinary and unremarkable, yet inexplicably left people feeling as if they had encountered a Divine Spirit.
"Outer Courtyard Class One, Ye Qingtian!"
The black-clad youth’s gentle voice echoed like thunder in everyone’s ears.
As if carrying a mystical power, it silenced the whispering square considerably.
One after another, astonished gazes turned towards the arena, at that youth with hands behind his back.
"Brother Qingtian..."
Qianxiao murmured, eyes overflowing with uncontrollable emotions.
He, forever so mesmerizing.
"Hmph! Arriving late and causing such a scene, this dead fellow." Instructor You Ruo pouted, humming.
Yet, in her heart, a huge weight lifted.
"Wow, Ye, after not seeing him for a month, not only has he become much taller, even his looks seem more handsome than before."
Many girls expressed envious sighs.
"He is the little fellow that occupies Qianxiao’s thoughts, you better not think about pursuing him." Instructor You Ruo swept away the previous gloom with a faint smile.
"Anyway, Ye hasn’t married. Such a man is hard to find even with a lantern; we must seize the chance."
Many girls echoed.
"Sisters, stop daydreaming, Lin Zhen is a Middle-Tier Martial God, capable of summoning two Ancient Divine Dragons, and his swordsmanship is exceptional. His Martial Arts Technique ’One Sword Shatters Netherworld’ is truly invincible."
"Yeah, I’ve heard many experts have been slain by his sword!"
"A single sword capable of shattering Netherworld, that’s astonishing!"
In shock, people showed worried expressions.
At this moment, You Ruo looked at the composed Hua Qianxiao, even feeling a bit uncertain: "His strength should be able to handle the opponent, right?"
Since Ye Qingtian has arrived, she feels no regret anymore.
Even if no one in the class ranks among the top fifty of the year, so be it.
As long as everyone can participate in the Martial Arts Examination without regrets, that’s enough.
"Classmates, stop daydreaming, one of ours has arrived. Even if he is defeated with one move, he is our classmate. Supporting the process is necessary."
Instructor You Ruo calmly said, looking at everyone.
Everyone looked at each other, seeing that even Instructor You Ruo wasn’t optimistic about Ye Qingtian.
"Didn’t expect that fellow to truly appear."
"Showing up is meaningless, it’s only public humiliation."
Lin Wufeng remained expressionless, showing no interest or optimism for Ye Qingtian.
"That fellow seems a bit more attractive than before, no wonder Hua Qianxiao is fond of him."
Zhou Muqing curled her lips.
"In the Celestial Martial Academy, only strength matters, everything else is useless."
Outer Courtyard Dean Master Zhou stated casually.
"If he is defeated in one move, he will definitely become a laughingstock of the Celestial Martial Academy, and Hua Qianxiao will lose face completely."
Zhou Muqing picked up a wine glass, speaking lightly, a hint of schadenfreude flashing in her eyes.
"Muqing, maybe you underestimate him." Master Zhou smiled faintly, glancing at some high-level individuals sitting not far away, who also cast curious eyes.
It seemed that, as he had guessed, Ye Qingtian this little fellow is indeed something extraordinary.
"Leave her alone!"
Lin Zhen uttered these three words, slightly quieting the square.
"That might be difficult." Ye Qingtian said calmly.
From the disdainful words and hostile gaze of his opponent, he already knew this person was one of Hua Qianxiao’s pursuers.
That girl truly is quite popular.
"I’m saying this on behalf of Qianxiao’s pursuers. We all can chase her, but you are not worthy!"
"A poor student from a trash class, you simply don’t have that qualification!"
Lin Zhen shouted coldly, his long sword vibrating.
A terrifying spiritual aura suddenly erupted from the sword.
"Oh, little kid who never grows up, only knows how to compete over women."
Ye Qingtian shook his head, still standing quietly in place.
"For future peace, the only option is to use you to intimidate them; you’re indeed a bit unlucky."
Ye Qingtian slowly lifted his head.
"Heh, are you even worthy?"
Lin Zhen naturally understood Ye Qingtian intended to use him as a warning, stopping those pursuers from bothering him.
"Are you ready?" On the arena, a middle-aged referee asked blandly.
