Both Donghai and the Ming Clan youth stood on the stage coldly looking at each other.   The crowd of disciples down below, as well as the numerous experts in the Pavilions and the sky, were staring intently at the stage anticipating the start of the match.   Some of the disciples' mumbles reached Yang Su’s ear and he found out that the youth fighting Donghai was named Ming Tengfei.   They didn’t have to wait long as the elder loudly exclaimed for the match to start.   Donghai got into a martial arts stance while making sure his eyes remain locked onto Tengfei.   Tengfei remained standing upright with his left hand resting on the saber that was at his waist.   His expression was cold, but he still gave off an unconcern aura even though he was facing a Meridian Opening Realm expert while being in the Blood Purifying Realm.  

After what seemed like forever, the explosion calmed down somewhat and everyone in the venue looked towards the stage with completely stunned expressions.  Bai Xiaofung’s figure could be seen curled up below the stage with his finger in his ears. As soon as that anonymous droning sound had echoed out, his face had already gone white like a sheet of paper before he leaped off the stage and then used it for cover.  After the explosion died down, Bai Xiaofung peaked open one of his eyes and then slowly stood up. Currently, everyone was staring at him with horrified looks on their faces.  Suddenly, a male disciple who was close to Bai Xiaofung released a shrill high pitch scream before he knocked several disciples away as he retreated.  Everyone nearby looked at him confused, and the ones who were knocked aside sported angry expressions on their f

The expression on Renxiang's face changed slightly, and even though she looked calm, Yang Su’s words had still angered her. She then said, “No, I was trying to go easy on you since you were the second prince’s assistant, but from your attitude, I see now that it was my mistake to do so in the first place.” Upon saying that, Renxiang completely turned around and started to form several more hand seals once again. The disciples below saw this and started to get excited to see more of Renxiang’s Divine Ability. “This brat really doesn’t know what’s good for him, he actually went ahead and pissed-off senior sister Renxiang. He’s completely done for now.” Renxiang finished her hand signs quickly and then pointed at Yang Su. Previously, she had used 40% of her power so she could quickly end this battle, bu

“Why is everyone so obsessed over Ghuanyu’s method? It’s not even that complicated for them to replicate it, or neither is it amazing or anything, it’s just the Four Physical Realms.” Though Xi Shen said it like that, he was in a completely different position for him to easily see through how Ghuanyu had accomplished this, and take it for nothing. As for those experts who were gushing over Ghuanyu’s method, to them, something like successfully changing the way of cultivating through the Four Physical Realm, which was around for thousands of years, was nothing short of an impossible feat. After seeing the results of Ghuanyu’s accomplishment from their point of view, it was a major matter that could influence the entire cultivation world. So of course they would gush over Ghuanyu, and possibly start kissing his ass so they could be the first to be a part of this monumental change.<

The elder from down below frowned slightly and said, “Second prince, Clan Leader Ghuanyu had made a good point. The academy has always had these rounds, it’s become a tradition and to just change them on a whim is not...” Before the elder could finish saying that sentence Xi Shen, quipped up and said, “Wait! Let me explain my reasoning for this. Yes, the academy might have been holding the Freshmen Competition this way for a long time, but isn’t it time for a change? This method of competition where disciples battle one on one was developed in a time when the cultivation world was a lot tamer than before, but times have changed since then. If the academy is holding this competition to give battle experience to their disciples like what I suspect, then this method of competition will be a huge disadvantage than a benefit to their disciples.” As Xi Shen spoke he could see the frown on the elder face deepenin
