As soon as it dawned, Jia Nan Academy Outer Court's giant arena was already crowded with people. It was so dark that even the nearby treetops were filled with students watching the fun.
There was an atmosphere of tension and excitement in the air, as if even the wind had stagnated for a bit.
"Dang--!"
As the bell of Elder Disciplinary Hall rang, the whole square fell silent instantly.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the center of the ring, where stood Dean of the Outer Court Lei Tian. He stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes like lightning, scanning the whole place.
"Today's selection rules changes!"
Lei Tian's voice is like a bell, spreading all over the world.
"Jiang Donghua is directly designated as the first challenger! The rest of the students are free to challenge! The winner will take his place!"
"Wow--!"
The whole place exploded instantly!
"It's indeed him!"
Someone shouted.
"Hmph, Dou Ling Peak, if he doesn't deserve to be number one, who should?" someone sneered.
"Damn it, now there's no hope of even being able to escape by drawing lots."
Some people turned pale.
But more people have Xiong Zhan in their eyes!
Only the top five will enter Scripture Depository!
Earth-grade cultivation technique! Earth-tier Dou Technique!
Who doesn't want that?!
"Since it has been changed to an arena competition, there is a chance!"
A burly student clenched his fists with a fierce light flashing in his eyes.
"Under the wheel battle, even Dou Ling Peak may not be able to withstand it!"
"Not bad! No matter how strong he is, Dou Qi will eventually run out!"
Another person echoed.
"Hehe, I want to see how evil he is!"
Someone licked his lips, his eyes boiling with fighting spirit.
On the high platform at the edge of the arena, several elders were watching all this quietly.
"Heh, it seems these little guys haven't been completely frightened yet."
Elder Yan snorted coldly.
"After all, the temptation of Scripture Depository is too great."
Fat Elder said with a smile.
"However, that kid Jiang Donghua can't be killed so easily."
"Huh, let's wait and see."
Elder Yan's eyes are deep.
At this moment, a figure slowly walked onto the ring.
Jiang Donghua!
He was dressed in black, with a calm expression and indifferent eyes. All the noise around him had nothing to do with him.
"The first challenger, Jiang Donghua!"
Lei Tian announced in a deep voice.
"Challenger, you can take the stage now!"
The whole place was silent for a moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on the ring, waiting for the first challenger to appear.
Who dares to be the first?!
And many people in the stands also started discussing.
"Free challenge within an hour? The winner will take the seat, and the loser will be eliminated?!"
"Doesn't that mean that as long as you can get into the top five at the last moment, you can win?!"
"Hahaha! Smart! Whoever gets in first will be stupid!"
For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire square became weird.
The students who were still eager to try now all calmed down, their eyes flickered, and they looked at each other. No one wanted to be the one who stood out.
Especially Jiang Donghua's arena!
That's Dou Ling Peak's monster!
Who in their head would be the first to challenge him?!
"Hehe, anyway, the rules don't stipulate that we have to challenge for first place. I'll go grab a spot in the top twenty first!"
A lean student rolled his eyes, jumped out suddenly, and jumped directly onto the 20th place ring.
"I, Zhao Wuhen, take the twentieth place! If you are not convinced, come up and fight!"
At this moment, it was like a floodgate was opened, and in an instant, more than a dozen figures rushed out at the same time, each seizing the stage.
"The thirty-fifth place belongs to me!"
"Twelfth place, who dares to fight me?!"
"I'll decide on the forty-seventh place!"
The whole square boiled instantly, and battles broke out one after another, with Dou Qi flying and roaring continuously.
However, the strange thing is that there is no one in front of the first place arena!
Jiang Donghua was still standing quietly in the middle of the ring, his hands behind his back, his expression indifferent, as if all this had nothing to do with him.
"Hahaha! These cowards! They don't even dare to challenge?!"
In the stands, some students couldn't help but laugh.
"Nonsense! How dare you go up to me? That's Dou Ling Peak! A ruthless man who can knock Liu Hanshuang down with just one move!"
"Tsk, tsk, it seems that the first place, Jiang Donghua, is secure!"
On the high platform, several elders also looked at each other.
"These little bastards are really smart!"
Elder Yan snorted coldly.
"Hey, it's human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages."
Fat Elder stroked his beard with a smile.
"However, if this continues, wouldn't it mean that Jiang Donghua won the first place in vain?"
"What's the rush?"
Lei Tian Dean's eyes are profound.
"It's been an hour, and there will always be someone who can't hold himself back."
Sure enough, not long after, a figure slowly walked out of the crowd and walked towards the first place ring.
The whole place fell silent instantly, and everyone's eyes were focused on that figure.
"Finally someone is going to challenge Jiang Donghua?!"
"Who is not afraid of death?!"
However, when everyone saw the man clearly, they were all stunned.
It was actually a petite girl, dressed in white, with a cold face, and holding a slender silver sword in her hand.
"Outer Court, Bai Qing'er."
Her voice was cold, but with unquestionable firmness.
"Please Senior Brother Jiang, enlighten me!"
The whole place was in an uproar!
"Bai Qing'er?! Isn't she just Nine-star Great Dou Master? Is she crazy?!"
"Where did she get the courage to challenge Jiang Donghua?!"
However, Jiang Donghua slowly opened his eyes, his gaze fell on Bai Qing'er, and the corner of his mouth slightly curved.
He said softly.
"Okay, I accept."
"Start!"
Enforcement Elder gave the order, but the words had not yet completely finished.
"Bang--!!!"
There was a muffled sound, and no one even saw clearly how Jiang Donghua took action. Bai Qing'er's figure flew out like a kite with a broken string and fell directly out of the ring!
The whole place was dead silent!
One second?
No, not even half a second!
Bai Qing'er landed on the ground in a panic, and before he even had time to unsheath the silver sword in his hand, he was already defeated!
Her face was pale and her eyes were full of disbelief, but soon, the shock turned into a wry smile.
"Sure enough, the gap is too big."
She murmured in a low voice, then stood up with difficulty, gave Jiang Donghua a fist salute, turned and left.
On the stage, Jiang Donghua was still standing where he was, not even the corners of his clothes were disheveled.
His eyes swept across the entire audience, and his voice was calm but filled with unquestionable majesty.
"Who else?"
Boom!
After a brief silence, the entire stand instantly boiled!
"Ahhh! So strong!!"
"One move! Just one move! Even Dou Technique is useless!"
"Senior Brother Donghua! I'm going to give you a monkey!!"
The female students went completely crazy, screaming one after another, and many even had stars in their eyes.
In a world where the strong are respected, a genius with crushing strength and cold temperament like Jiang Donghua is simply the Daoist partner they dream of!
"Senior Brother Donghua! Look at me, look at me!"
"Senior brother! I would like to be your maid! I can even serve tea and water!"
"Go away! Senior Brother Donghua is mine!"
The male students looked ugly, jealous and afraid.
"Damn, isn't this too exaggerated?"
"Bai Qing'er is also Nine-star Great Dou Master after all. Can't even catch a move?"
"This is a fart challenge! Just admit defeat!"
On the high platform, the elders also had different expressions.
"This kid didn't even give him the slightest chance."
Fat Elder smacked his lips.
"Humph, it looks pretty good."
Elder Yan snorted coldly, but a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
Lei Tian Dean narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a low voice.
"It seems that we need to add some ingredients."
At this moment, a deep voice suddenly sounded from the crowd.
"I'll do it."
The crowd parted automatically, and a burly young man carrying a giant ax walked out slowly. The ground seemed to tremble slightly with every step he took!
"It's Mao Shan! Outer Court, the most powerful Mao Shan!"
someone exclaimed.
"He finally couldn't sit still anymore!"
Mao Shan grinned, with fighting spirit in his eyes.
"Jiang Donghua, I want your first place!"
Jiang Donghua raised his eyes slightly, still indifferent.
"Okay, come and get it."
