Back then, he had been in the same team as Xia Qingchen, and he had witnessed Xia Qingchens face turning pale, and then he fell unconscious onto the ground while trembling.

I heard that he had performed exemplary during the repeat compet.i.tion, getting into the upper courts D cla.s.s. Is that true?

It should be. After all, the D cla.s.s is just a trash pile. Its nothing surprising for an additional piece of trash to join them.

They didnt hold any reservations in front of the D cla.s.s at all.

Everyone from the D cla.s.s couldnt tolerate things anymore!

It was fine for them to say bad things about Xia Qingchen, but they shouldnt ridicule their whole cla.s.s with him.

Thats enough! Liu Yiyi scolded. Stop being so sarcastic with your words. Did you guys think that youre so amazing?

Their conversation had risen to the cla.s.s level.

Lin Tianyou, who had come in first, naturally couldnt sit there and watch.

He stood up and pointed toward Liu Yiyi. At least, were stronger than you. Do you have a problem with that?

Hmph! Liu Yiyi stood, unafraid. She retorted, Is that so? You guys didnt seem to be that fast in the wilderness training. Didnt you take a month as well?

Lin Tianyou found this amusing. From what youre saying, its as if you guys have arrived half a month before.

Liu Yiyi smiled coldly and said, Youre half right. Its true that we didnt arrive half a month earlier, but one of us did! Saying that, she kicked out with the tip of her foot, sending the piece of wood Xia Qingchen had left behind over.

Lin Tianyou reached out his hand and grabbed it. He threw a glance and then frowned slightly. Xia Qingchen has come?

He then looked at the date. It was really half a month ago.

Hmph! Do you think Ill believe that a good-for-nothing like him would be able to arrive here half a month in advance? Why dont you think about what this means? Lin Tianyou didnt believe it at all.

They wanted him to believe in a few words written on a lousy piece of wood?

Liu Yiyi was about to retort when a cold voice rang out from the dark forest.

It means that youre a frog at the bottom of the well. Your weakness has restricted your imagination. Lin Tianyou looked over and saw Xia Qingchen crossing his arms in front of his chest and walking out slowly.

His pair of bright eyes were like brilliant torches in the darkness.

Liu Yiyi snorted. This was the first time she was secretly feeling glad about Xia Qingchens arrival.

Long time no see, good-for-nothing. I didnt expect that you managed to get into the upper court as well. But its a pity that you can only get into the D cla.s.s, a pile of trash. Lin Tianyou gave a contemptuous smile.

Xia Qingchen walked over slowly, stood in front of the D cla.s.s, then said calmly. It doesnt matter if you call me a good-for-nothing or a piece of trash. Ill just treat it as ants talking. But I cant pretend that I didnt hear anything when youre insulting my cla.s.s like this. He was part of the D cla.s.s after all and had used its name to gain access to the D cla.s.ss training ground.

It wouldnt be nice for him to turn a deaf ear toward people who had insulted the D cla.s.s.

You sound loftier now! It seems that youve gained quite a sense of superiority after getting first place amongst the trash in the repeat compet.i.tion, Lin Tianyou said calmly.

Xia Qingchens gaze remained calm. Thats why Im saying, can you, an ant, keep quiet?

He put down both his hands slowly, gathering a hint of inner force on his right fingertips. As students of the martial pavilion, if we can settle things with a fight, then spare the talk, alright?

Everyone from the D cla.s.s watched with eyes and mouth agape.

To think that Xia Qingchen, who usually seemed indifferent to things, would have such a domineering moment.

The person he was facing was the strongest in the A cla.s.s, Lin Tianyou!

His words if we can settle things with a fight, then spare the talk also caused them to feel very comfortable for some reason.

That Lin Tianyou was really too detestable.

On the contrary, the A cla.s.s broke into a commotion.

Never would they have expected that someone from the D cla.s.s would dare to take the initiative to challenge them.

Moreover, the person they were challenging was Lin Tianyou.

Brother Lin, Ill go take him on! Xiao Fenyu, who had come in second, glared at Xia Qingchen while wearing a cold expression on her beautiful face.

Lin Tianyou was a proud person. When openly challenged, how could he possibly hide behind someone else, getting them to take his place in battle?

Although the good-for-nothing isnt worth mentioning, his courage should be applauded. Ill take him on personally as a form of encouragement for his bravery. Lin Tianyou walked to the center.

He pointed to a pine tree that was 100 zhangs away. I wont bully you with my martial prowess either!

Your cla.s.smates are all saying that you arrived at Ping Lake half a month earlier. Then, Ill compete against you in speed to see who can reach that pine tree first. How about it?

Werent the D cla.s.s boasting that Xia Qingchen could run very fast?

Then let them have a compet.i.tion in that!

Xia Qingchen naturally had no objections. Okay.

The two of them stood alongside each other, and Li Weifeng gave out the command to start.

Start!

Swoosh

Lin Tianyou was very agile and immediately shot out with a high speed of ten feet per step taken. Everyone from the A cla.s.s cheered.

Being able to move for ten feet with each step taken was an extreme speed for someone below the medium constellation stage.

Lin Tianyou smiled confidently and turned back to take a look, thinking that he should have lost Xia Qingchen far behind him.

However, he hadnt expected that Xia Qingchen still had his arms crossed in front of his chest, standing there coolly.

Just as Lin Tianyou was feeling perplexed, Xia Qingchen said, Ill give you a lead of 50 zhangs!

The total distance was only 100 zhangs. If he didnt let his opponent have a head start of 50 zhangs, then was there a need for the compet.i.tion to continue?

Lin Tianyou was so angry that he burst out laughing, feeling that he had been toyed with. The other party had no intention of competing against him.

However, since he had already started running, he should just continue and then take care of things after he came back.

10 zhangs, 20 zhangs, 30 zhangs

When he reached 50 zhangs, he heard the students from both A cla.s.s and D cla.s.s letting out gasps. However, he couldnt hear it clearly since he was too far away.

He couldnt be bothered to turn back and have a look. He ran all the way toward the destination.

80 zhangs, 90 zhangs, 100 zhangs.

It was his victory!

However, just as he was about to arrive under the pine tree, a swift shadow flashed past him.

It seems that I arrived first. Xia Qingchen stopped in his footsteps, turned, and smiled as he said calmly.

Lin Tianyou was taken by surprise. You cheated!

People who thought too highly of themselves would always act like this.

If others were to surpa.s.s them, they would unconsciously feel that those people were cheating.

Xia Qingchen said calmly, Thats right. I cheated. Its because I flew here.

It was only upon hearing that did Lin Tianyou realize that he had said something foolish.

The route for their compet.i.tion was a straight path, with no shortcuts to take. How could Xia Qingchen cheat?

Being ridiculed by Xia Qingchen, Lin Tianyous face flushed up.

Lin Tianyou, youll need to improve on your movement-type martial skill. Ive given you such a great lead, but youre still unable to win, Xia Qingchen said calmly.

Lin Tianyous face flushed up even more.

Ever since he entered the martial pavilion, it had only been him giving others guidance.

The students from the A cla.s.s felt equally ashamed.

Lin Tianyou had kept calling names like good-for-nothing and trash earlier on.

Yet, he couldnt even win against a good-for-nothing.

Remember, be quieter in the future, dont chatter so much, Xia Qingchen said calmly then turned back.

Lin Tianyou, whose pride had taken a huge blow, let out a furious bellow, Stupid tras.h.!.+ Stop being so arrogant!

He then struck out with a sharp mid-grade yellow-tier martial skill, sending it out fiercely with his strong inner force at the eighth radiance-level of the minor constellation stage.

Amidst everyones surprised gasps, Xia Qingchen seemed to have sensed something and turned back abruptly.

He could even take 30 blows from one at the ninth radiance-level of the minor constellation stage. Could someone who was only at the eighth radiance-level be a worthy opponent for him?

Nine Plum Blossoms Bloomed! His six major meridians and 60 minor meridians opened up, and he instantly struck out an attack from the [Traversing Snow, Flowering Plum].

The results were within expectations!

Lin Tianyou hadnt even managed to touch Xia Qingchens clothes when he was struck by Xia Qingchens nine streams of inner forces on the chest.

Ba-dump

Lin Tianyou kept on retreating, smas.h.i.+ng against the pine tree. He only came to a stop after breaking the tree.

Youre courting death! Lin Tianyou was in disbelief. To think that he had been injured by a good-for-nothing!
