Be Careful
News of the battle at the Martial Academy spread quickly, and when everyone heard that Sang Ying had actually defeated Hong Yan, their first reaction was disbelief.
They desperately wanted to find people from both tribes to understand the situation, but for some unknown reason, both tribes chose to remain secluded.
The Red Dragon Clan felt ashamed. They had made so many boastful remarks, yet their young master had lost so miserably. They were too embarrassed to go out and have fun, so they stayed in their rooms to cultivate diligently, preparing to regain their lost face in the Grand Competition.
The White Dragon Tribe, grateful to their young master for reclaiming the Martial Academy for them, couldn't bear to disappoint Sang Ying's kindness, so they spent every day at the academy. If the academy had enough places to sleep, they probably wouldn't want to leave at night.
In response, Sang Ying could only instruct Bai Shou to convey a message to everyone, telling them that they could cultivate, but not to overdo it.
Bai Shou naturally conveyed these words, but whether they heard them or not is unknown.
Unable to get the truth from the parties involved, there are various opinions circulating outside. Some believe that Sang Ying simply has that ability; after all, she is the daughter of Bai Yi, who was once known as the "God of War," so she can't be that bad.
However, many people believed that this was simply fake news, or that Hong Yan didn't want to fight the woman and was deliberately letting her win.
Xuan Jingshan most agreed with this statement, because due to Hong Miao, Xuan Jingshan had had several encounters with Hong Yan. He knew Hong Yan's strength well and simply did not believe that Sang Ying could defeat her.
So when the servant told him about it and asked if he needed to make any further preparations, Xuan Jingshan refused without hesitation. "No need to worry, it's just some unreliable rumors. If Bai Qinglong really had such abilities, she would have been famous long ago."
He had heard others talk about Sang Ying before. They told him that Sang Ying was thin and small when she was young, pale-faced, and frail. She was lucky to have lived this long; how could she possibly have the abilities she has now?
If Bai Shou heard this, he would definitely give him a good scolding.
Their young master was indeed in poor health back then, so he has endured countless hardships to get to where he is today.
If it weren't for the fact that their White Dragon Clan possessed a divine medicine that could regenerate severed limbs, their young master's arms and legs would probably have been gone long ago.
Sang Ying appears perfectly healthy now, but outsiders have no idea how many times her limbs have been bitten off by Devil Creature on the Gods and Devils Battlefield over the past few hundred years. And how many scars have etched her beautiful face into that landscape?
In order not to upset Madam Lanxin, Sang Ying quickly healed these scars, unlike the general who had a scar on his face as a medal for defeating the enemy.
These hardships are difficult for outsiders to understand, but Bai Shou and his group remember them very clearly.
Therefore, they knew very well that anyone who dared to underestimate their young master would not end up in a good situation!
Amidst this endless speculation and curiosity about Sang Ying, the Dragon Race's grand competition is finally about to begin.
The competition was held in the Martial Arts Hall, which was specially built by the Azure Dragon Clan. The hall had twenty competition platforms. The platforms were made of special materials and could withstand the enormous power of the Dragon Race without being damaged.
The initial rounds of the competition used a self-selection challenge format, allowing participants to freely choose their opponents. Those who successfully defeated thirty opponents within the allotted time would advance to the second round.
When only one hundred people remain, they will draw lots to choose their opponents.
The top ten winners will be able to choose any one treasure from the Azure Dragon Clan's treasure vault.
In the past, the top ten were mostly occupied by the Azure Dragon Clan, but in recent years the Black Dragon Clan has shown signs of rising to prominence. It remains to be seen what unexpected surprises this year's competition will bring.
On the first day of the competition, Jialan City enjoyed a rare sunny day.
All the outstanding young people from the five dragon Dragon Race gathered in the martial arts hall on this day.
The enormous, arched building was quickly filled with people.
As the host, the Azure Dragon Clan gave a speech of encouragement before the competition began, praising the young people from the other four clans.
The moment he officially announced the start of the competition, the entire martial arts hall was almost overturned by the cheers of the Dragon Race warriors.
Sitting in the designated area, Xuan Jingshan took the opportunity to glance at Sang Ying not far away. He was first amazed by Sang Ying's appearance, and then began to think about how to settle this young master after they annexed the White Dragon Tribe.
"Remember what I said, eliminate all the White Dragon Tribe members as soon as possible!" Xuan Jingshan repeated himself, still not entirely at ease.
The servants beside him nodded quickly upon hearing this.
Because of his reputation, Xuan Jingshan thought that no one would dare to challenge him so early, so he took the initiative to approach Hong Yan to ask about the affairs of the martial academy.
When he went to her door, he found that Hong Yan, who had been much gentler with Hong Miao than before, had become hostile again when she saw him.
They're unresponsive when you ask them a question.
Knowing he couldn't afford to openly break ties with the other party at this time, Xuan Jingshan could only endure it, forcing a smile as he asked, "I heard that you fought with the young master of the White Dragon Tribe a few days ago, and there are rumors that you lost. That's utter nonsense! I don't know who made up such a lie. You were insulted for no reason, and you don't even think about seeking justice for yourself?"
In Xuan Jingshan's view, such news must have been spread by the White Dragon Tribe to mislead others. Someone as impatient as Hong Yan would definitely be furious if he knew that someone was spreading such rumors about him.
Once he finds out what the White Dragon Tribe has done, he'll definitely help me make things difficult for them.
Surprisingly, Hong Yan wasn't angry; she simply retorted, "You're not Hailong, why are you meddling in everything?"
Then he turned around and left, leaving Xuan Jingshan standing there awkwardly.
Xuan Jingshan was furious at being humiliated and secretly held a grudge against Hong Yan, planning to take revenge one day!
Just as he was about to turn back to the Black Dragon Clan's territory, he saw his servants hurrying towards him.
"Young Master, the young lady of the White Dragon Tribe wants to challenge you!"
Upon hearing this, Xuan Jingshan's first thought was of Sang Ying's incredibly beautiful face.
"Tsk, such a beauty is going to suffer in my hands. "Xuan Jingshan sighed inwardly.
Unlike the somewhat rigid Hong Yan, Xuan Jingshan readily accepted Sang Ying's challenge. Moreover, he specifically instructed his servants to gather all the clansmen who had not yet started their matches, so that they could witness up close his defeat of the White Dragon Tribe's young master.
It is believed that after this battle, the shadow hanging over the White Dragon Tribe will be intensified once again because of him.
With such anticipation, Xuan Jingshan arrived at the competition stage early. He watched Sang Ying walk towards him from afar, and was then stopped by Hong Yan just before stepping onto the stage.
The two men's conversation reached his ears clearly:
"Be careful..." This was Hong Yan's advice.
Xuan Jingshan couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips. It seemed that even Hong Yan was somewhat wary of his power and was beginning to worry about the beauty.
"Don't kill him!" Hong Yan added.
On the competition stage, Xuan Jingshan's smile froze completely.
