Ye Qizhen was taken aback at first, then the bitter smile on her face became even more pronounced.
Is this really that hurtful?
Seeing what Ye Qizhen was thinking, Yan Tianyang immediately began to explain.
"I'm not saying this to discourage you, but everyone has their own path to walk. Although you and Jiang Fan are both Spirit Master, it doesn't mean you should compare yourselves. Jiang Fan has advantages you don't have, and similarly, you have advantages Jiang Fan doesn't have."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qizhen's eyes lit up.
"What are my advantages compared to Jiang Fan?"
Yan Tianyang fell silent, his stern brows furrowing deeper and deeper, his chiseled face becoming even more sharp.
At the same time, her thin lips tightened even more.
Time passed slowly, and the room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Ye Qizhen finally couldn't help but twitch her lips violently, and even the corners of her eyes twitched. In the end, she helplessly rubbed her forehead.
"Okay, just pretend I didn't ask."
Yan Tianyang's brows relaxed, and he looked at Ye Qizhen again.
"Do you really want to improve your strength?"
"Of course!" Ye Qizhen's voice rose a few decibels, revealing his thirst for power.
"If I asked you to go with the Divine Wind Guard squad to train in the Inner Wilderness Zone, would you dare or not?"
Ye Qizhen paused slightly, looking at Yan Tianyang who was staring intently at her. A few seconds later, she suddenly clenched her fist, her eyes filled with determination.
"What Jiang Fan can do, I can do too. I, Ye Qizhen, am no less capable than anyone else!"
"Good!" Yan Tianyang looked at the young man in front of him with great satisfaction.
He had always thought highly of Ye Qizhen and, before Jiang Fan appeared, had always regarded her as his successor.
This is not only due to Ye Qizhen's talent, but more so to her character.
"Once we enter the Inner Wilderness Zone, I won't have anyone take special care of you."
"I see!"
Ye Qizhen understood Yan Tianyang's intentions very well and hoped that he wouldn't become dependent on him because of this.
"There's one more thing, Lan Shengxue has entered the Dragon Abyss Secret Realm," Yan Tianyang said.
Upon hearing this, Ye Qizhen's face clearly showed surprise.
"You're saying she entered the Dragon Abyss Secret Realm? Given her current strength, that's far too early. How could Grandpa Lan possibly agree to her entering to cultivate now?"
Without Yan Tianyang needing to answer, Ye Qizhen quickly realized a very important reason.
Could it be because of Jiang Fan?
It should be.
The Lan Family and Ye Family families have been on good terms for generations, and he and Lan Shengxue have known each other since childhood. He had been paying attention to this genius girl from the Lan Family for a long time.
Knowing that this genius girl had a competitive spirit, and that they were from the same high school, Jiang Fan knew that she was determined to succeed.
When Jiang Fan was still unknown, Lan Shengxue caused a sensation throughout the Great Xia by breaking through to the Martial Artist, and major media outlets rushed to report on it.
Just when everyone thought that Lan Shengxue would be the champion of the martial arts exam on the No. 31, Jiang Fan completely overshadowed Lan Shengxue with an overwhelming victory, becoming a legend that resounded throughout the Great Xia.
Summer vacation has just ended, and Lan Shengxue is still at the same level as she was two months ago, while Jiang Fan has directly jumped two realms, one of which is a major realm. How could this not make Lan Shengxue anxious?
Thinking of this, Ye Qizhen thoughts, and the determination in her eyes grew even stronger.
He must undergo a transformation during this trial, otherwise he will not only be left far behind by Jiang Fan, but also by that genius girl from the Lan Family.
"Achoo--" Jiang Fan sneezed loudly again.
Who is this person repeatedly talking about themselves?
This is never going to end.
The next day.
The Yuanwu campus was bustling with activity today, as all the new students gathered on the training ground to actively register for the colleges they wanted to enter.
The fat guy is Beast Tamer, so naturally he should go to the Beast Tamer School.
" Brother Fan, which department are you planning to apply to? The Combat Techniques School or the Weapons School?"
Yuanwu has a total of six major branches. Apart from the first major branch, the Combat Techniques School, the other five are the Weapons School, Beast Tamer School, Artifact Refiner School, Alchemist School, and Formation Master School.
In Fatty's opinion, Jiang Fan has the highest chance of entering the Combat Techniques School, since the Combat Techniques School is the most popular choice in any martial arts school.
Jiang Fan remained silent, his gaze fixed on the long queue.
The fat man noticed Jiang Fan's gaze and looked over.
"I was wondering why this line was so long; turns out the Beast Tamer School is testing the new students for Soul Power."
Seeing that Jiang Fan was still looking in that direction, and combining this with the longing that Jiang Fan had shown on the train earlier, the fat man guessed what Jiang Fan was thinking.
" Brother Fan, let's go, you should try it too."
After saying that, the fat man thoughtfully added, "Although the chances of Martial Artist becoming Beast Tamer are extremely low, you don't need to feel guilty. Just think of it as buying a scratch-off lottery ticket out of boredom on the street; whether you win or not doesn't matter."
To be honest, Jiang Fan didn't feel guilty. The reason he didn't rush over immediately was simply because there were too many people and he didn't know how long he would have to wait in line.
Just then, a strange, sarcastic voice rang out.
"Hey! Isn't this the martial arts champion from Fortress No. 31? What are you doing queuing up here? Don't tell me you consider yourself a genius and think you're one of those rare Beast Tamer?"
The person who said this was none other than Li Zhichao, who had a previous conflict with Jiang Fan.
This sound drew the attention of almost everyone nearby, and upon seeing Jiang Fan, they began to whisper among themselves.
"Becoming a Beast Tamer, one in a million, isn't something Martial Artist can achieve simply by rapidly increasing their strength; the most important factor is Soul Power."
"That's right, without Soul Power, high health and vitality are useless."
These people weren't targeting anyone specifically, nor were they trying to mock anyone; they were simply emphasizing a fact.
The fat man looked annoyed. "Looks like you're not Beast Tamer either, are you? What right do you have to mock my Brother Fan?"
Li Zhichao's face was grim, and a murderous glint appeared in his eyes.
"That's right, I'm not Beast Tamer, but you are? You fatso, I advise you to have some self-awareness, otherwise—"
Before he could finish speaking, the fat man slammed his palm on the ground, and ripples of energy spread rapidly outwards from his hand.
At the same time, a deep blue light emanated from the ground, within which mysterious runes spread, intertwined, and finally outlined a complex and profound magic array pattern.
As the magic circle was finally formed, a Golden One-Horned Lion covered in golden fur suddenly appeared in everyone's sight.
"Roar!"
A deafening roar echoed throughout the training ground, startling everyone who turned to look.
Not only the people on the training ground, but also all the teachers from the Academic Affairs Office looked over.
Including the white-haired old man in the principal's office.
