Handsome and Talented-Won't You Consider It?
Seeing Bai Cheng's expression, it seemed he was trying to intimidate her.
The moment Xiao Tian's hand clasped Bai Cheng's, he felt Bai Cheng subtly exerting force, even imbuing it with his Dou Qi.
His eyes held a disdainful glint, as if he could already see the figure struggling to break free due to the pain.
A smile involuntarily crept onto Bai Cheng's lips.
However, as if he had expected this, Xiao Tian glanced at him disdainfully, and slowly gathered his Dou Qi in his hand. Bai Cheng's expression began to change.
His initial smugness turned to astonishment as he felt an extremely violent power in Xiao Tian's hands, his own Dou Qi utterly insignificant in its presence.
He felt as if his hand was being clamped by iron clamps, and a constant pain shot through him.
He tried to unleash his Dou Qi to launch a surprise attack, but before he could even gather it, Xiao Tian shattered it.
Finally, Xiao Tian delivered a Dark Energy, striking his hand directly. A sharp pain shot through him, causing his arm to tremble.
Despite the pain, Bai Cheng calmly looked at Xiao Tian, though a hint of gloom still lingered in his eyes.
Xiao Tian remained calm throughout, staring directly at Bai Cheng as if to say, "Bai Cheng, you're nothing special."
Bai Cheng felt Xiao Tian's strength and the increasingly intense pain in his palm, so he forcibly pulled his hand back.
Bai Cheng pulled his hand back into his sleeve, trembling slightly. A red mark remained on it, and a piercing pain emanated from it. He frowned slightly, thinking:
"This Xiao Tian is a bit strange. How come he seems stronger than me?"
Bai Cheng suddenly felt that his actions today had backfired.
"It seems you're quite capable, junior. No wonder you dare to act this way. However, the Inner Academy has its Inner Academy rules. I suggest you stay put if you don't have the strength, or you'll only humiliate yourself."
Bai Cheng smiled coldly.
"Rules are set for ordinary people. In this world where strength Inner Academy supreme, I am the one who sets the rules. If you disagree, we can have a go."
Xiao Tian crossed his arms and looked at Bai Cheng expression was gloomy and uncertain.
"Xiao Tian, don't think you can be arrogant in the Inner Academy just because you have a little strength. If you know what's good for you, disband your Pan Gate and Fu Ao to apologize, or you'll suffer the consequences."
One of the Three Star Dou Ling behind Bai Cheng spoke directly to Xiao Tian and Pan Gate.
"Bullshit! Even if your Bai Gang disbands, my Pan Gate might not."
Upon hearing the other party's words, Pan Gate's expression instantly turned extremely ugly, Hu Jia stepped forward to rebuke him.
Xiao Tian raised his hand and gently patted Hu Jia's shoulder.
"Some force will definitely disband, but it's not us, it's your Bai Gang."
Bai Cheng, standing to the side, also looked somewhat unpleasant. He hadn't figured out Xiao Tian's strength, but he roughly knew that Xiao Tian's strength was probably no less than his own. He had originally planned to carefully strategize how to annex Pan Gate later.
This person's single sentence put him in a very dangerous situation.
It seems there's no room for retreat now.
"Xiao Tian, what do you mean?"
Bai Cheng looked at Xiao Tian with a deep voice and a cold gaze.
"It means exactly what you said. Wasn't your purpose in coming here to make us disband? So it's reasonable for me to inform you of our disbandment, isn't it?"
Xiao Tian's expression was calm, even carrying a faint smile, as he spoke in a solemn and powerful voice.
Upon hearing the same words, the Bai Gang members' faces darkened instantly, their eyes filled with rage, and they glared at Xiao Tian through gritted teeth.
"Kid, you're too arrogant."
The Bai Gang members shouted angrily.
"Very good. Among all the new students coming to the Inner Academy, only you have been so arrogant all these years."
Bai Cheng's face also darkened, becoming even more gloomy, and he said with a cold laugh.
"Tomorrow's Arena battle: whoever loses will disband their faction."
Xiao Tian ignored the Bai Gang members who wanted to bite him to death, and stared straight at Bai Cheng. He also planned to make a name for himself in this battle, otherwise there would be flies coming to him every day.
"Bai Cheng, do you dare to agree? If not, then take your men and get out of here. Don't embarrass yourself."
"Xiao Tian, as a freshman, don't be so arrogant. Our Gang Leader's strength is not something you can mess with. He can take you down in no time."
"That's right, our Gang Leader is ranked thirty-fourth on the Strong Ranking, someone a newcomer like you can only look up to."
"Boss, let him know how powerful you are. The Inner Academy isn't a place where greenhorns like you can act tough."
Before Bai Cheng could even speak, the Bai Gang members behind him instantly exploded like a powder keg, unleashing a torrent of curses.
This situation doesn't fit my personality, and for some reason, I have a feeling that it's slipping out of my control, and I have a bad feeling about it.
"I agree. I'll be waiting for you at the Arena tomorrow."
After Bai Cheng finished speaking, he left with the Bai Gang members. Before leaving, he gave Xiao Tian a serious look. He felt a strong sense of crisis. He had originally planned to go back and make a good plan, but now that things had turned out this way, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.
"I hope it's just my imagination. A newcomer like me wouldn't progress this fast even if they started training from the womb."
The news that Xiao Tian of the Pan Gate, the most popular newcomer, had challenged Bai Gang of the Bai Cheng was spread by the senior students who were watching, causing a huge uproar and even alarming many Elder.
A newcomer who has only been in the Inner Academy for a few days is challenging a Strong Ranking expert—something that has never happened in the entire history of the Academy.
Of course, upon hearing this news, many senior students scoffed at Xiao Tian's overestimation of his abilities, and some even suggested that Bai Cheng teach Xiao Tian and the other newcomers a lesson.
Inside a rather elegant-looking pavilion in the Inner Academy, a dozen or so women stood in the hall. Under their gaze, a woman with silver hair and a silver dress descended from the pavilion and sat down in the head chair.
This person was none other than Han Yue, whom Xiao Tian had met at the Heavenly Flame Training Qi Tower.
"Any news from the Inner Academy lately?"
Han Yue asked in a cold voice.
"Boss, this morning, the Bai Gang, led by Bai Cheng, went to the Pan Men Residence and demanded that Pan Gate disband. In the end, Xiao Tian of Pan Gate directly Bai Cheng a duel, set for tomorrow morning at the Arena."
A woman in a yellow dress stepped forward and said in a sweet voice.
Upon hearing this, Han Yue frowned slightly. "Is this true?"
"It's probably true. It's causing quite a stir in the Inner Academy, and the Bai Gang has also confirmed it."
Hearing her words, Han Yue sighed, "Based on what you said and the information we gathered before, it seems that the Bai Gang has been making things difficult for the Pan Gate, so now they're planning to overturn the table. I've had contact with Xiao Tian before; he's a very proud person. I warned him before, but I didn't expect him to still go against me."
A woman in a pink dress approached Han Yue: "Boss, why are you so concerned about Xiao Tian? Have you taken a liking to him? You've been keeping an eye on him ever since you came back that day. I've never seen you so interested in a man before."
Others chimed in.
"I heard that the boss even said she'd make an exception and recruit Xiao Tian into our Moon Spirit Sect, an exception indeed!"
"Big Sister, I've secretly met Xiao Tian. His looks are undeniably handsome, unmatched in the entire Academy. His talent is also quite remarkable. I heard he's only eighteen and already a Dou Ling. But I also heard he and Xiao Xun'er are boyfriend and girlfriend. Big Sister, why don't you try to win him over? If not, you can join us."
"Eighteen years old, handsome, and talented! Boss, I really suggest you consider it. It's rare to see you put aside your germaphobia and shake hands with a man."
Han Yue glared at her best friends who were constantly teasing her and said, "What, are you guys too free now? Do you want me to assign you some special tasks?"
"Boss, my clothes have run away by themselves, I'll go look for them."
My weapon is on its period.
Upon hearing Han Yue's words, the others immediately disappeared. Her special task involved digging up specific medicinal herbs in a place that was filthy and smelly; the stench wouldn't dissipate even after a bath for days.
Han Yue watched as everyone dispersed, shook her head, stood up, and walked towards the door.
