Xiao Yan!
The name seemed to possess some kind of magic, making the arena fall silent for an instant. Then, countless gazes turned toward the field, all wanting to see that other star of Jia Nan Academy.
Unfortunately, there was only a man on the field holding a long spear, looking toward where Yellow Tier Class Two was seated.
Xue Beng's aggressive, burning gaze swept over without the slightest attempt to hide it, aimed straight in the direction where Xun'er and the others were. Along with it came the gazes of countless spectators.
In the academy, beauties undoubtedly drew attention, especially a beauty like Xun'er, whose strength, appearance, and bearing were all nearly perfect. Unfortunately, no matter who tried, they all hit a wall in front of her, and because of that, Xiao Yan's name had also spread through the academy.
Facing so many gazes, Ruolin was under immense pressure. Time passed, yet no one went onto the stage. A little cold sweat could not help appearing on her smooth forehead, and her hands clenched tightly. Her eyes swept the surroundings, hoping that the figure she had valued so highly two years ago would appear like a savior.
Unfortunately, there was nothing. What she saw and heard was only the same mockery and ridicule as last year. She bit her lip lightly, her jade-like hand clenching, then seemed to have all her strength drained away and nearly collapsed. Xun'er seemed to have prepared for this long ago; she quietly stepped forward, supported her, and soothed her.
"Teacher, he's here..."
When she had been fighting just now, she had sensed her Dao Protector. She had originally thought that, as before, there would be no news this time either. She had not expected to receive a surprise instead—Xiao Yan had come.
"What?"
