“After you finish, wait for me here. I will come find you,” Shi Jingjing said to Chen Mobai and Cao Yaling after exchanging greetings. Cao Yaling nodded quietly and stood still.
“She doesn’t like to talk much. If you are eliminated early, can you wait for her to finish?” Shi Jingjing asked Chen Mobai after she left, suddenly appearing by his side.
“Okay,” Chen Mobai readily agreed.
As the first place in the Immortal Gate’s fifth high school’s entrance exam, he naturally considered himself their leader. It was his duty to take care of his teammates.
Soon, students started to arrive at the peak in groups of two or three. Chen Mobai saw his opponent.
On the odds website provided by Shi Jingjing, there were photos and information of each person. He looked it up and remembered.
“Very powerful Qi and blood,” Cao Yaling, who had somehow appeared by Chen Mobai’s side, also saw Qiao Xingwen. She raised her hand to adjust her glasses, and her eyes behind the lenses flickered with a bright light, as if she had seen something. She lightly hinted at Chen Mobai.
“Aren’t you not fond of talking?” Chen Mobai looked at this mysterious female classmate with round-framed glasses, feeling inexplicably puzzled.
“Only if she’s here, then I won’t speak,” Cao Yaling replied.
After hearing this, Chen Mobai carefully observed this delicate and quiet female classmate wearing round-framed glasses. He felt it was inexplicable.
“Three of his fingers on his right hand have meridians that are thirty percent wider than the other two. He may have practiced a spell similar to the ‘Spirit Pill’,” Cao Yaling continued on her own, raising her right hand and extending the three slender and fair fingers in the middle, gesturing towards Chen Mobai.
“Thank you,” after a long while, Chen Mobai squeezed out two words to this mysterious female classmate.
Although he felt that even without this information, he could easily defeat Qiao Xingwen, he still had to thank Cao Yaling for her good intentions.
“My spiritual eyesight cultivation is not sufficient. I can only see this much,” Cao Yaling said.
“It’s already enough. It seems like Shi Jingjing has also cultivated her spiritual eyesight,” Chen Mobai replied.
“Yeah, my master is her father. Our spiritual roots are similar, and we practice the same technique,” Cao Yaling explained.
“Then between the two of you, whose spiritual eyesight is stronger?” Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment, shook his head, and did not give a direct answer.
But Chen Mobai already knew the answer. It should be her who was slightly stronger. It turned out that she was the most formidable female classmate in the Immortal Gate’s fifth high school.
“The two students who are reporting, please come up to the stage,” at this moment, a cultivator wearing the Danzhu Academy teacher uniform flew to the center of the peak and stood on the newly built stone arena. He held a match schedule in his hand and lightly announced the names of the two participants. His voice was clear and reached the ears of all the students and spectators on the peak.
“I’m going up. Stay here,” Chen Mobai stood up from the long stone bench. The first match on this arena was between him and Qiao Xingwen.
Originally, he planned to finish quickly because he had made an appointment with Chansi and Shen Juanxiu yesterday to explore the Danzhu Academy and then treat them to a meal at noon as a thank you.
But since he promised Shi Jingjing to take care of Cao Yaling, he, as the leader of the Immortal Gate’s fifth high school, would not break his word.
Mainly, Chansi and Shen Juanxiu had not arrived yet.
It was a pity that they couldn’t witness his swift victory over his opponent.
“Chen Mobai from the fifth high school.”
“Qiao Xingwen from the third high school.”
At this moment, the teacher from Danzhu Academy on the arena shouted the names of the two participants.
The two immediately used their levitation technique to land on the stage and looked at each other.
“There shouldn’t be any doubts about the rules, right? Only spells and a specified number of talismans are allowed,” the referee teacher said, and both Chen Mobai and Qiao Xingwen nodded lightly. The latter had a square face and a crew cut, along with a tall and sturdy figure and a vigorous temperament. From his appearance, he seemed very powerful.
“Qi Refining Seventh Layer against Qi Refining Sixth Layer, a crushing match.”
“Or should we call it a welfare match? This first match is just to warm up the crowd.”
“On this arena today, Qiao Xingwen’s strength is probably ranked in the top five.”
“Fortunately, I wasn’t chosen. Qiao Xingwen is guaranteed to win.”
…
The noise around him entered his ears, and even Qiao Xingwen, who had been tempered in the military, couldn’t help but smile.
Today, he was the protagonist.
He extended his right thumb and pinky finger, following the pre-designed tactics. He would first use his weakest two Spirit Pills to test the effectiveness of his opponent’s talismans. After all of the opponent’s trump cards were exposed, he would use his strongest three Spirit Pills to defeat him in one strike.
This first round opponent was only at the Qi Refining Sixth Layer. I’m afraid he can’t even make me use talismans.Full of confidence, Qiao Xingwen made his move.
One minute later.
Everyone in the audience had their mouths agape, their faces filled with disbelief.
That’s it?
He was trained in the military?
Chen Mobai looked at his opponent who had fainted in front of him, shook his head, and turned to look at the referee teacher who had just stepped down from the ring and hadn’t had time to sit down and take a sip of water.
“Um, in the first round, Chen Mobai wins.”
The teacher flew onto the stage, checked that Qiao Xingwen had indeed lost his fighting power and had fainted, and announced the result very straightforwardly.
After saluting the teacher, Chen Mobai descended from the ring, ignoring the shocked gazes of hundreds of people around him, and walked leisurely to the long stone bench he had sat on before.
As expected, Cao Yaling was very obedient, standing still as he had instructed, not moving a step.
Of course, it was mainly because he was too fast.
“You…”
Cao Yaling’s lips parted slightly, wanting to say something, but she didn’t know what to say.
“If I remember correctly, you’re in the third match, which is about to start. Have you observed your opponent? What have your spiritual eyes seen? I’m quite good at combat strategy, tell me and I can help you design a tactic.”
Chen Mobai felt that as a team leader, he should not only take care of his schoolmates off the field, but also apply his experience from the Tianhe Realm in combat techniques and practical fights.
“No need, he’s just an ordinary person at the sixth level of Qi Refining. My chances of winning are 98%.”
Cao Yaling adjusted her glasses, glanced at a boy with a pot lid haircut not far away, her tone was calm, but full of confidence.
“Alright then, I hope all of us from our school can advance in the first round, so as not to let down the cultivation of our alma mater.”
Chen Mobai’s words made Cao Yaling couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
This guy was so young, yet he was already talking like a bureaucrat.
Half an hour later, Shi Jingjing arrived.
“Why are you so slow? I have things to do in the morning.”
Chen Mobai was a bit dissatisfied with Shi Jingjing’s speed.
“You were eliminated quickly, but my opponent somehow got a set of turtle shield talismans, which held me off for a full ten minutes. I was almost forced to use a first-grade superior talisman.”
Chen Mobai didn’t bother to argue, because Chan Si and Sister Fu had just sent a message saying they were almost there.
“I’ll return her to you as she was, I have to go now.”
