Ye Futian’s words caused everyone to stare at him. Earlier, the young Roc had defeated Long Ling’er. Therefore, the elder used this as an excuse to hinder Long Ling’er from entering the college, claiming that she did not perform at all. He deliberately ignored the power of the young Roc.
Hence, Ye Futian defeated two Musical Sorcerers of the same level as him in an overpowering manner to tell everyone that if they could ignore the strength of the winner, the two people who had lost to him should not be able to enter the college.
“Is this guy showing off how strong he is before Starry College?” many people muttered to themselves. Just now, Ye Futian had said that he was a lowly educated, background-less, weak musical attendant of Dragon Clan who knew a bit of music… The elder from Jin Clan stared at Ye Futian. After Ye Futian proved him wrong with his actions, the elder had nothing to say.
On the other hand, the people from Dragon Clan all seemed to be very surprised as they gazed at Ye Futian. His performance was indeed amazing.
“Brother Futian.” Long Ling’er only felt much warmness in her heart. Ye Futian was speaking up for her. He did not want her to leave in embarra.s.sment and wanted to get a reply for her.
“I don’t think your description is accurate. Isn’t he someone who tried to seek connections with w.a.n.g Yuqing’s family?” Suddenly, among the Starry School disciples, a lady beside w.a.n.g Yuqing giggled charmingly. She was Li Man who had met Ye Futian in the Evil Dragon Zone and had also teased him. She did not expect this handsome young man to be so talented and be able to instantly defeat two disciples of Starry School.
As a Starry School disciple, she knew that Lin Yan was indeed talented and strong enough to enter the college. Although the a.s.sessment of Starry School could never be totally fair, those who were weak would certainly not make it. The fact that Ye Futian could easily defeat Lin Yan clearly showed that his talents and powers were better than ordinary Starry School disciples. If he had taken part in the a.s.sessment, he could definitely pa.s.s, but he did not.
“This temperament and music… seems just like that person,” Li Man muttered.
w.a.n.g Yuqing’s heart skipped a beat as she recalled a person who had left a very deep impression in her mind, namely the Musical Sorcerer in a silver cloak. He had appeared on the back of a demon and suppressed all the disciples of the Top Three Schools. He was extremely elegant and n.o.body could stop him a bit.
That figure was indeed carved deep in her mind.
“Him?” w.a.n.g Yuqing stared at Ye Futian. It’s impossible… How can he compare with that person? That person in the silver cloak was unparalleled…
“No, that person was already at the peak of the Arcana Plane and was on a demon. Although their temperaments are quite similar, there are obvious differences between the two of them,” Li Man said softly. w.a.n.g Yuqing nodded gently and actually felt relieved. The difference between their levels was obvious. Furthermore, that person had a demonic bird with him.
Why would they a.s.sociate the two of them together? It was totally impossible.
Hearing Li Man’s words, Jiang Nan’s face darkened. Previously he had insulted Ye Futian publicly. Ye Futian’s performance at the moment was really slapping him hard on the face.
“Are you saying that Starry School has no outstanding people?” the elder questioned coldly. He could not refute Ye Futian’s words. However, regardless of how strong Ye Futian was, he was only Long Ling’er follower who claimed to be a musical attendant. Even if he was a genius invited by the Dragon Clan, his position was still a musical attendant.
A musical attendant was forcing him to admit his mistake. He was a teacher of Starry School, a top n.o.ble. On the Starry School a.s.sessment day, he was forced by a musical attendant to admit that he had been targeting Long Ling’er and that his judgment was wrong.
How could he accept that?
n.o.body would want to lose face, especially powerful cultivators. If he really did it unintentionally, perhaps he would not mind admitting his mistake which would display his magnanimity. However, it was deliberate. If he was forced to apologize, he would lose all his face.
Hearing his words, Jiang Nan understood that Ye Futian would never be able to make the people of Starry School change their decisions with such a method. Instead, it would only make things worse. Of course, he also had to admit that Ye Futian had achieved his goal in becoming a trusted subordinate of Long Ling’er.
Ye Futian looked at the elder and signed in his heart. He had expected such an outcome, but he could not accept it.
The elder avoided the topic on purpose and also claimed that Ye Futian was insulting Starry School, pus.h.i.+ng him onto the opposite side of the college. In this way, the other members of Starry School would also feel embarra.s.sed and have opinions about him.
Ye Futian looked in front of him and said, “Being such a big college, can you not treat a little girl fairly?”
Long Ling’er had indeed lost, but she was a fourteen-year-old Dharma Plane Dragon Master. Apart from Jin Fei, the other applicants of her level were all older than her. If Jin Fei did not crush the rest directly and Long Ling’er had a chance to fight, she could do the same just as well. As long as Starry School could give Long Ling’er a chance to fight the other applicants, she could certainly perform well.
Even though she had lost to Jin Fei, it was not a quick defeat like what the elder had claimed.
Jin Fei had claimed arrogantly that he had not used all his powers. However, only he knew if he really did try his best. The difference between Long Ling’er and him was not big. As long as a person was not blind, he would know that Long Ling’er was deserved to enter the college.
How could the little princess of the Dragon Clan not be able to? Before this happened, who dared to think this way? Who would have thought this way? Today, the people from Jin Clan were clearly targeting Long Ling’er. On the other hand, the people from the college were completely neutral and did not voice their opinions at all. Therefore, the people from Jin Clan and Dragon Clan argued and questioned each other, bringing much embarra.s.sment to Long Ling’er.
“Brother Futian, I’m not entering anymore. Let’s go,” Long Ling’er shouted. She did not want to see Ye Futian continue fighting for her as it was meaningless; she no longer wanted to join Starry School.
Ye Futian smiled, after which he turned around and left the battle platform. Looking at Long Ling’er below, he said, “Alright. Since they cannot even give fair treatment to a girl, there’s no reason for you to enter.”
Then, he was about to leave. He had already done what he should. Everyone should be able to understand the purpose of his battling. Since he could not change the att.i.tude of Starry School, he would leave it to the people of Divine Sky City to comment.
“Wait,” someone suddenly said. Ye Futian stopped and turned around. Looking at the person who just spoke, he asked, “Senior, what is it?”
“Although the college had an argument about Long Ling’er, we’ll eventually give her a fair answer. I can understand why you spoke and fought for her. However, even though you had two victories, it’s inappropriate for you to insult Starry School like this,” the cultivator from the college slowly said.
“You’ve already hurt her self-esteem. Where’s the fairness? As for the insult, when did I do it?.” Ye Futian said, looking at the cultivator.
“When did you do it?” the person from Jin Clan said coldly. “You only won an ordinary disciple and are already so supercilious, showing no respect to Starry School. Moreover, you used this to force the college to give you an answer. When does Starry School need to give an answer to a loser? Do we need you to agree before we decide to admit any new disciple?”
“Loser?”
Hearing the unpleasant word, Ye Futian muttered, “Who in the world will never lose?”
“Senior, then what do you want?” Ye Futian raised his head and looked at Starry School’s direction.
“Since you have started the challenge, let’s continue,” an elder from the school said. If they just allowed Ye Futian to leave like this, it would really be shaming for Starry School.
They had to win at least one fight.
“I wouldn’t want to do that,” Ye Futian said, smiling. “I’m afraid it’ll only get harder for you to wind this matter up.”
“Arrogant,” the cultivator from Starry School said coldly. “After winning just one fight, you think that you’ve won everything. How arrogant and supercilious are you?”
Ye Futian’s words caused many elders to have poor opinions of him.
He was too arrogant and did not respect the college at all.
“You’ve only won one actual disciple of Starry School. How dare you speak such ravings?” Jiang Nan also said coldly.
“There are quite many talented Musical Sorcerers in the Musical Spell Department,” another person added.
“Brother Futian, let’s go.” Long Ling’er shook her head at Ye Futian.
Ye Futian had defeated two people from Starry School. Clearly, the school was unhappy and did not want to let him go. They would certainly send someone stronger.
Long Ling’er did not wish to see Ye Futian continue to argue with Starry School.
“Since you’ve asked so, I can only agree to it.” Smiling, Ye Futian turned around and walked onto the battle stage again. He sat down cross-legged and started to play his guqin slowly, after which he said emotionlessly, “You can send whoever and however many people you want.”
The melodious music was soothing and peaceful, as if it was only a simple piece.
The faces of many members of Starry School darkened. Whoever and however many people they want? They had never seen such an arrogant person. Ye Futian was openly disdaining Starry School disciples.
Just then, many Musical Sorcerers walked towards Ye Futian step by step. However, suddenly, Ye Futian’s music became more rapid and resounding. In addition, it contained a frightening penetrating power.
Wind whizzed and thunder roared as the sky changed drastically. A figure in a white s.h.i.+rt was sitting down cross-legged and playing a piece of music elegantly.
The faces of many elders of Starry School changed slightly and the Musical Sorcerers who had walked onto the battle platform also frowned. One of them had already approached Ye Futian. However, the artistic conception of Ye Futian’s music caused him to feel very threatened.
Boom… A frightening lightning storm appeared in the minds of the Musical Sorcerers directly. At first, they did not want to team up. However, at this instant, they all gave a m.u.f.fled humph. With their faces turning pale, they shouted, “Together!” Then, they sat down in different places and played simultaneously, resisting Ye Futian’s music.
Ye Futian lowered his head and continued playing, as if he did not see them at all. The music enveloped the battle platform and penetrated the wills of his opponents. In the sky, many bolts of lightning and windstorms gathered, as if it was the end of the world. Bolts of lightning struck towards his opponents as he attacked them both physically and spiritually.
Spit, spit… Many soft noises were heard. The Starry School disciples on the battle platforms all spat much blood that colored their strings red.
All of them were no match for Ye Futian’s music.
“So these are the disciples of Starry School. Such a high standard.” An emotionless voice was heard along with the music. Countless people gazed at the playing figure and were totally astonished. At the moment, Ye Futian had really displayed his elegance!
