Chapter 142 - Big Conflicts
"I went to the Nova Hall because, just like you, I also wanted to try my luck to see whether I could get a spot on the Rising Star List."
Ye Xuan said.
According to the normal procedure, students who had succeeded in challenging the Nova Hall could apply the Jiangzhou University Campus App to activate a Rising Star Fight.
However, there were too many such applications, and they would have to wait.
And it was not for a little while that they would have to wait, but for a long time.
"Dude, did you really succeed in challenging the Nova Hall?"
Qi Liangcai was struck dumb.
He was looking at Ye Xuan as if the latter were a monster.
After all, Ye Xuan was on the intermediate Dark Iron level only one day ago.
However, in the blink of an eye, he was suddenly on the Bronze level.
And he even challenged the Nova Hall. What else could he be if he was not a monster?
Next to them, Wei Shan and Lv Jing were also oddly looking at Ye Xuan.
His talent really humbled them. They felt they were just two good-for-nothings.
"I think I have to take back what I said."
Qi Liangcai breathed in deeply.
"What did you say?"
Ye Xuan said, baffled.
He thought for a while but failed to recall anything Qi Liangcai had said.
"I said to Wei Shan and Lv Jing when you were not around that I would have to cultivate with more effort. Otherwise, it would be humiliating if I got caught up by you in five or six years."
Qi Liangcai looked at Ye Xuan seriously. "But now, I think if I don"t work hard enough, I will be caught up by you in three or four years."
"Of course, providing that you won"t be as freaking awesome as you were this time."
Qi Liangcai had thought about the possible reason that Ye Xuan had been so freaking awesome and cultivated so fast this time.
He probably had used a large number of evolutionary resources.
And those evolutionary resources helped one of his beasts, or many of them, level up.
He even could have made his beasts rise in stars.
However, training beasts this way would consume too many resources.
No matter how much Jiangzhou University thought highly of Ye Xuan, would they be able to keep supplying him with those evolutionary resources?
In particular, if Ye Xuan wanted to keep this pace in cultivation after achieving the Bronze level, he would need ten times of the evolutionary resources, and that might still not be enough.
Ye Xuan threw Qi Liangcai a spontaneous look.
Even he could not estimate how fast his cultivation could go.
However, there was one thing he could be sure of: he would absolutely go beyond Qi Liangcai"s expectation.
He only hoped that this blow from him would not destroy the dude.
"It is over!"
While Ye Xuan was lost in thought, Qi Liangcai glimpsed at the fight in the amphitheater down there, and his eyes lit up.
Under the control of that Beast Tamer, his beast dodged his enemy"s beast all of a sudden.
Then it sprinted up to the other Beast Tamer to attack him.
In a fight between Beast Tamers, dodging the enemy"s beast and sending one"s own beast to attack the enemy had always been regarded as the number one tactic.
"How are you feeling? Confident?"
Turning around, Ye Xuan asked Qi Liangcai after seeing the fight between those two soph.o.m.ores have ended.
Not only first-year students were competing for spots on the Rising Star list this time.
The old soph.o.m.ores were already juniors.
As a result, there were a lot of new vacancies on the Rising Star List.
That was why the soph.o.m.ores of this year were as active as the freshmen were.
"What the h.e.l.l. In the worst-case scenario, I will just run three l.a.p.s n.a.k.e.d. It is no big deal. I have a nice body to show people anyways."
Qi Liangcai grinned.
Ye Xuan was rendered speechless instantly.
That dude.
"Soph."
After speaking to Ye Xuan, Qi Liangcai called the student who had agreed to fight against him, and then they went down to the amphitheater together.
That sight slightly stirred in Ye Xuan.
In fact, he was not worried about Qi Liangcai.
Qi Liangcai was certainly good enough to get a spot on the Rising Star List.
However, what he was worried about was what would happen after this fight. He was not sure whether Qi Liangcai could defeat that student wearing silver stud earrings from Wanshan University.
"Ye Tiange?"
While he was thinking, he caught sight of a few figures in the distance. Walking across the hall, they entered the amphitheater as well.
Among them, there was Ye Tiange, whom he knew very well.
The Beast Tamer from the Eternal Night Clan who threatened him secretly that day was there, too.
Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes immediately at the sight of them.
He also saw an older man next to Ye Tiange.
A pale-faced older man from the Eternal Night Clan.
"Is that Director Ye Yuanming of our university?"
The sight of that man stirred in Ye Xuan.
Some of those discussions were exactly about that director from the Eternal Night Clan, and he was the one who had real power in Jiangzhou University.
It was said that this director with real power, who had joined Jiangzhou University a hundred years ago and gained extraordinary cultivation attainment, had been very active lately.
It seemed he was going to join Wanshang University and take some of the teachers there.
A university director with real power was going to join another university and take some of the teachers and students there.
If that really happened, the entire Xia would be shocked.
Not to mention where this happened. It was Jiangzhou University, a university with big fame.
By then, how would the world think of Jiangzhou University?
"Is that real?"
Looking at Ye Yuanming from far away, Ye Xuan wondered.
Even if it was real, there was nothing that he could change.
And there was another thing.
Many students were making sarcastic comments in the forum.
They even could not wait to see Ye Yuanming leave Jiangzhou University.
They claimed his leave would make the atmosphere in Jiangzhou University purer.
And they would love to have some of the abolished old policies back.
Numerous people were unhappy with the current situation. His leave would at least change a few things.
For example, the current Jiangzhou University regarded the Eternal Night Clan as a minority. Not just a normal minority, but a "minority" minority.
All candidates from the Eternal Night Clan who wanted to get into Jiangzhou University had privileges.
It would be fine if the Eternal Night Clan were really a minority on the Cerulean Planet.
However, they were not!
And those people even attempted to falsify the history in the past few years.
One hundred years ago, the Cerulean Planet and the Eternal Night Planet fought against the Silver Blood Clan together.
But according to the current Eternal Night Clan, the Eternal Night Clan helped the Cerulean Planet fight against the Silver Blood Clan.
This single affair created a lot of conflicts between the Ceruleans and the Eternal Night Clan.
Let alone you want to gain yourselves privileges on our planet.
While Ye Xuan was thinking about these things, in the distance, Ye Yuanming took Ye Tiange and others into the Beast Gym and then walked to a few teachers of Jiangzhou University up there alone.
Ye Tiange and others stopped on a white jade staircase nearby.
"Soph, thanks."
Qi Liangcai walked to the center of the amphitheater. Gazing at the old-looking soph.o.m.ore standing opposite him, he finally got a little serious.
"Humph!"
That soph.o.m.ore snorted, "If you want to get a spot on the Rising Star List, get it with your strength. I won"t have any complaints if you really defeat me."
"But if you are not as good as I am, neither will I go easy on you."
"No problem!"
Qi Liangcai nodded. Then he signaled the teacher from Jiangzhou University who was responsible for stopping the compet.i.tion and the medical care in the amphitheater that they were ready for the fight to start. After that, he called his three-legged h.e.l.lfire Crow out immediately.
Whoos.h.!.+
As soon as the three-legged h.e.l.lfire Crow giant body showed up, it flapped its wings to create black flames and flew towards the soph.o.m.ore dozens of feet away.
"This is… It is a Silver-level beast…"
That sight put the soph.o.m.ore"s face livid with shock.
However, since he was already there, he did not want to surrender without trying, even though he had realized he was not as good as Qi Liangcai was.
No matter what, there were so many people watching. He had to do this fight anyways.
He called his Four-Armed Demon Ape, Bandaged Corpse King, and Dog-headed Wizard out immediately while he was thinking.
Whoos.h.!.+
However, as soon as he called his beasts out.
That three-legged h.e.l.lfire Crow dived towards him directly with those overwhelming black flames.
Bang!
In an instant, as the flames spread, they swept down like a giant rolling river.
The three beasts of the soph.o.m.ore, just below the three-legged h.e.l.lfire Crow, were instantly sent flying.
It was only one blow.
However, one after another, a beast of his caught fire, and it seemed that fire would never stop burning.
Fortunately, after this blow, Qi Liangcai made his three-legged h.e.l.lfire Crow stop.
Whiz!
At the same time, a female teacher responsible for taking care of wounded beasts sent out a white-winged angel of hers.
A soft beam of light shone on the beasts of that soph.o.m.ore so that the fire on them would be extinguished quickly.
At the same time, their injuries were also recovering fast.
"You won!"
At the sight of this, that soph.o.m.ore threw Qi Liangcai a meaningful glance. He looked like he was going through some complicated emotions.
It was the first time he was defeated by the first year.
However, when he was in the first year, some talented cla.s.smates of his also defeated soph.o.m.ores on the Rising Star List constantly.
So, he managed to restrain himself very soon after recalling that.
"You, come down here!"
Then, when that soph.o.m.ore had left, Qi Liangcai, standing at the center of the amphitheater, pointed at the young man wearing silver stud earrings from Wanshan University, who was standing on the white jade staircase far away.
Instantly, everyone there fixed their eyes on that young man.
"Silver level!"
However, that young man wearing silver stud earrings was embarra.s.sed by those stares.
They did not come here without doing any investigation on the students of Jiangzhou University.
However, all they got was that Ye Tiange was the only Beast Tamer on the Silver level at Jiangzhou University.
But to his surprise, one of Qi Liangcai"s beasts had achieved the Silver level.
Although Qi Liangcai was not a Beast Tamer on the Silver level himself.
That meant he was on the verge of leveling up to the Silver.
"Qi Liangcai, why did you have to drive people to the wall?"
However, at this moment, Ye Tiange, who had just entered the amphitheater, suddenly broke into a smile.
"I have arranged a fight to challenge the Rising Star List today. Come back up here, now that your fight is already over. Stop wasting others" time."
