The boy's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears.
This oppressive aura...
Feeling the pressure in his heart, the young man from the Treasure Medicine was somewhat alarmed. The strength of this aura far exceeded that of him, a Second-Tier Martial Artist, and even his breathing was becoming somewhat difficult.
"I'll ask you one more time."
Ye Li's voice was indifferent, yet it carried an undeniable air of authority.
His ability to see through lies was granted by his Eye of Delusion .
To be more specific, it means being able to directly confront the soul-searching questions of living beings.
Even if one's expression remains calm, heartbeat is normal, and tone shows no sign of panic, the soul does not lie.
The downgrading of this Treasure Medicine is not unacceptable.
But there always has to be a reason.
Why is the "[Spring Return Grass Heart]" gone?
Ye Li remained calm, his thin lips slightly parted, and his dark eyes seemed to shine with divine light, instantly putting immense pressure on the young man and others who were being stared at.
"This..."
The young man from the Treasure Medicine inwardly groaned. Although he didn't understand why the other party was so confident, he still gritted his teeth and said:
"Student Ye Li, it's not that we wanted to confiscate your Treasure Medicine, but we really had no other choice..."
"Then speak," Ye Li said, unmoved.
The other person practically had "Please don't ask" written all over their face.
Clearly, some extraordinary person must have intercepted his Treasure Medicine.
If that's the case, then the problem is easily solved.
"..."
Upon hearing this, the young man hesitated slightly, but under Ye Li's increasingly sharp gaze, he finally steeled his resolve.
Damn it, when that bastard came to steal the Treasure Medicine, he didn't even consider the difficulties we were in.
Should I still help him cover it up?
Never mind!
Anyway, both of them are future stars with top honors, so if there's a headache, that's the school's problem.
So be it...
Thinking of this, the young man gritted his teeth and said, "Then I'll tell you, but please don't get angry or upset after you hear it."
"Although [Spring Return Grass Heart] is a top-grade Treasure Medicine for healing Meridians and is scarce, we still have some in our [Treasure Medicine]. We prepared a sufficient quantity for you before noon."
"But just as we were preparing to come over, a Gold Medal Student came to the Treasure Medicine and, claiming that his Meridians were damaged and he needed to heal, forcibly took away all the remaining [Spring Return Grass Heart]."
"He even left behind the gold medal, demanding we deduct the amount from his account..."
The young man looked quite annoyed, clearly also extremely disgusted by the other person's behavior.
"We also told him that a portion of the [Spring Return Grass Heart] was reserved for you, but after hearing your name, he not only didn't care at all, but also said that if you had any objections, you could go talk to him."
"I saw from the records that you seem to be a new student. I was worried that you might act impulsively and confront them, so I thought it would be better to avoid trouble and gave you a slightly inferior [Spring Return Grass]..."
"Let's talk," the young man said, cautiously observing Ye Li's reaction.
He was unaware of the significant skill gap between the young man and the seasoned gold medalist.
However, based on the boy's past records, he should be a freshman who has just enrolled.
The core student who won a gold medal in his freshman year... undoubtedly has much greater potential than that seasoned gold medalist.
There might be some gap in strength now.
But this is only because that veteran gold medalist had an advantage in terms of age.
If it were me, I would most likely choose to tolerate it for now and wait for revenge later.
"What's that person's name?"
In the ensuing silence, Ye Li spoke up, asking, "Where does he live? Where can we catch him?"
It must be said that Fengyun University truly lives up to its reputation when it comes to "competing for resources," with surprises constantly emerging.
The Enlightenment Pavilion, Martial Ground Baptism, is now attracting fierce competition even for a small Treasure Medicine...
This place is simply paradise.
"Student Ye Li, that person ranks quite high on the Fengyun Ranking, and it's rumored that he has a terrible temper. If you want to seek justice from him, please think twice."
Upon hearing this, the young man looked conflicted and offered a final word of advice. "You're still a new student, not even a formal member yet..."
"Name, address."
Ye Li interjected in a calm tone, as if issuing an ultimatum.
"..."
He's definitely young and impetuous.
The young man sighed inwardly and forced a smile:
"That person's name is Yu Chuan. He lives in the courtyard less than two hundred meters away from yours. His Martial Arts Level has reached the Peak Third Order, and he ranks eighteenth on the Fengyun Ranking..."
In his view, given that the two lived so close to each other, Yu Chuan's brazen attempt to seize the Treasure Medicine clearly demonstrated his considerable confidence in his own abilities.
They didn't take the newly crowned gold medalist, whom they had never heard of before, seriously.
Upon hearing this, Ye Li frowned slightly.
The other party made it sound so scary, but it turns out they're only the eighteenth?
So disappointing...
He took in the changes in his expression.
The young man from the Treasure Medicine felt a slight stirring in his heart, assuming that Ye Li had become somewhat wary after hearing the ranking.
So, with a wry smile, he continued:
"He just returned from a mission off-campus, and his Blood Vitality is fluctuating, most likely because he recently broke through and his strength has improved."
"Right now, he'll probably be able to climb a few more places on the Fengyun Ranking!"
Having said that, he thought the boy would completely change his mind.
But then they saw Ye Li's brows relax, and the words he uttered left everyone present stunned:
"That's fine, goodbye."
As he spoke, he took a step forward, his figure seemingly riding a whirlwind across the sky, disappearing into the night.
Only the crowd remained, staring wide-eyed and standing there dumbfounded.
Fengyun University, a separate campus.
Several young martial artists, each with a distinct aura, sat around a stone table, all looking in the same direction.
On the steps there, a young man with a fierce look in his eyes stood with his hands behind his back. His face was slightly pale, but his breathing was gradually becoming steady.
He was clearly recovering from a serious injury.
"Yu Chuan, what brings you here, you call us [News Department] writers?"
Beside the stone table, one person spoke first, asking a question.
Upon hearing this, Yu Chuan smiled calmly.
"Are you all editors of the Fengyun Ranking?"
His gaze fell on a girl with an oval face sitting by the stone table, and he said slowly, "Especially Miss Lin Yinyun, who seems to be one of the main people in charge?"
Lin Yinyun yawned and asked lazily, "What do you want to do?"
Yu Chuan said leisurely, "The [Martial Ground Baptism] is imminent, and I want to compete for one of those ten spots."
The people around the stone table suddenly realized what was going on, and one of them asked curiously, "You want to be in the top ten of the Fengyun Ranking?"
Yu Chuan's smile widened, "Not bad."
Upon hearing the affirmative answer, the man chuckled and shook his head, "But as far as I know, you are only at the eighth level of the Third-Tier rank. Your best achievement is defeating two martial artists of the same rank."
"The current tenth on the Fengyun Ranking has fought to a draw with a genuine Fourth-Tier Martial Artist."
His gaze towards Yu Chuan held a hint of mockery. "If you want us to pull strings for you, that's probably not going to work."
"That's right, it's not up to us to decide this."
Lin Yinyun shrugged and sighed helplessly, "We're just responsible for collecting true stories and ranking them. Anyone who dares to falsify anything here will be expelled and exiled."
"You've misunderstood."
Yu Chuan looked down at the two of them and said calmly, "I invited you here simply because the [Martial Ground Baptism] is imminent, and I was worried that your information wouldn't be up-to-date."
"Therefore, I would like to ask a few of you to be my witnesses."
"Everyone, please look, what is this?"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and swiped his finger across the storage ring, and a list appeared in his palm.
