Fengyun University, Nothing More Than That

Thinking of this, Principal of Shangjing University quickly recalled relevant information about the young martial artist in his mind.

Ye Li, the top scorer in the Ying Province Martial Exam.

It is said that he just enrolled this year and is already at the Fourth-Tier Heaven Pass Realm.

He subsequently defeated three renowned figures on the Fengyun Ranking, and recently participated in a red-level encirclement mission.

This level of terror is even more exaggerated than Zhu Zhengchuan's back then.

This resume may have some embellishments, but it cannot deny the young man's excellence.

Given time, he might actually be able to rival Zhu Zhengchuan and become a new leading figure among the younger generation in Ying Province.

But he was too young.

Of the three renowned martial artists on the Fengyun Ranking who were defeated, the highest among them had only just broken through to the fourth rank.

Red-level encirclement and suppression mission.

Although the specific details are unknown, the leader of the mission is Zuo Qingyu. Given her personality, she would not allow the weak to take risks, much less allow the geniuses under her command to take such a great risk.

Using one's full wings to shield the weak from wind and rain—that's the style of Zuo Qingyu.

Therefore, Ye Li's role in the encirclement and suppression mission was at most limited to resisting the Beast Tide.

Of course, this is already an extremely impressive resume, a point acknowledged by the Principal of Shangjing University.

However, this mysterious young man still needs time to grow.

In other words, he is no match for Zhu Zhengchuan.

"Besides that... I think that's all?"

After careful investigation for a long time, Principal of Shangjing University finally confirmed that there was no mistake and was able to relax.

It seems that Zuo Qingyu was simply in a hurry this time.

What an impatient young man, lacking the composure expected of a senior...

Thinking of this, Principal of Shangjing University felt lighter.

He cleared his throat and smiled down:

"Zhengchuan, Principal Zuo from Fengyun University wants you to play an Exchange Competition against their students."

What do you think?

The unrestrained voices carried into the arena below.

A bald young man with thick eyebrows and large eyes raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing this. "When?"

"In the next two days."

Principal of Shangjing University beamed, seemingly already envisioning the glory days to come. "One-on-one, and that person over there is also a current student."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhengchuan waved his hand and casually replied:

"I'm fine with either, you decide."

Having said that, he looked back at the sword-wielding girl opposite him and chuckled as he said:

"That's the downside of fame; you have to play in Exchange Competition when it's pointless."

"..."

Hearing the other person's confident words, the sword-clad girl lowered her sword, a hint of melancholy suddenly appearing in her eyes.

"Senior brother, it's best to take this seriously."

I vaguely remember that she was just as confident a month ago, but then she suffered the biggest setback of her life.

That was a truly devastating defeat... Even now, it still wakes her up in the middle of the night.

"Junior Sister Tang Yao, it's not that I'm not serious."

Zhu Zhengchuan gave a faint smile, then sighed as if in helplessness:

"You come from the Qingshan Sword Pavilion in Ying Province, so you may not know much about my past."

As he walked towards the other side of the field, he smiled with a hint of amusement:

"If I get serious, the nature of the Exchange Competition will change."

"To be fair, who would enjoy seeing their student get completely crushed in Exchange Competition?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the students watching burst into laughter, not finding the bald young man to be exaggerating.

They were all students from Shangjing Province, so they naturally knew how terrifying the bald young man was.

In his early twenties, he Fourth-Tier Level Eight.

Looking Huaxia, it would be extremely difficult to find a young martial artist who could achieve this level.

The other top Martial Arts University have also organized Exchange Competition with them over the years, but the result has always been the same—

A complete defeat.

No matter how ingenious the tactical arrangements, they were always utterly defeated. Those renowned martial arts geniuses all became stepping stones for Zhu Zhengchuan.

Holding a large spear, he is the new generation leader within the territory of Huaxia.

This year, no Martial Arts University's geniuses question its prestige anymore, and they deliberately avoid Exchange Competition against each other at Shangjing University.

Surprisingly, Fengyun University hadn't given up yet, which took everyone by surprise.

That's truly commendable courage.

"..."

Tang Yao stared at the brand-new dragon pattern on the horizontal sword, remaining silent for a long time.

She recalled her crushing defeat last month, and the black-haired Golden Eyes Boy in Black.

I wonder how far the other person is from the Third Order True Blood Realm; perhaps they've already surpassed her.

At first, although the boy was only at the Second-Tier Level One, his combat power was enough to overwhelm him, a martial artist at the Second-Tier Level Six.

Just a few days later, he achieved an unbelievable score in the Martial Exam.

Based on Tang Yao's guess.

At that time, Ye Li would most likely be close to the Third-Tier, or even have one foot in the Third-Tier.

I'm already at the Second-Tier Level Eight, while you've probably already broken through to the Third Order True Blood Realm and stabilized your realm...

Thinking about this...

Tang Yao let out a soft breath, her hand gripping the horizontal sword gradually tightening.

She didn't like this feeling of being outdated.

Fortunately, thanks to the friendship left by the Sword Pavilion Founder, he became a disciple of the president of the Shangjing University and his last disciple.

With the guidance of this sixth-tier Martial Infant Realm expert...

In addition, within the Huaxia territory, he can be considered the sparring partner of the most outstanding young martial artists.

Tang Yao believed that her future was bright.

' Ye Li, wait until we meet again, I'll give you a real surprise!'

Tang Yao, holding a horizontal sword, her eyes sharp and fierce, called out loudly to Zhu Zhengchuan opposite her:

"Senior brother, be careful."

"Not bad." Zhu Zhengchuan smiled slightly, then asked:

"By the way, are you coming to watch the Exchange Competition in a couple of days?"

"Hmm." Tang Yao said calmly, "Try to learn as much as possible."

"Then I won't stand on ceremony with that guy on the other side."

Zhu Zhengchuan scratched his bald head and laughed heartily, "Then you'll understand why I'm not interested in these kinds of Exchange Competition."

"Well... most of them are boring opponents, lacking the sharpness and spirit that martial artists should have."

"When they first didn't know me, their moves carried a hint of guidance, bold and unrestrained, without any sign of fear."

"But things are different now. Once they see that their opponent is me, they become incredibly nervous, their punches and kicks become dull, and they show absolutely no desire to win."

"I know that in their eyes, it's impossible for them to defeat me; they can only hope to last a few more moves against me, and that will be enough."

"That's a really pointless mentality..."

Zhu Zhengchuan's smile gradually faded, and his originally gentle voice took on a hint of coldness. "After all, what I want, Senior Brother, is an opponent whose eyes reveal a desire to defeat me."

"Speaking of which, Junior Sister Tang Yao, you have this kind of look in your eyes that makes me very happy."

"That's why I'm willing to spar with you."

As he spoke, Zhu Zhengchuan slung the spear over his shoulder.

Amidst the admiring gazes of the spectators, he sighed with a hint of helplessness:

"I can only hope that this opponent will have some fighting spirit, otherwise I really can't muster any enthusiasm..."

But to be honest, it's really difficult.

Fengyun University is nothing special.

I've never heard of any impressive figures like them.
