Chapter 496 – Hello, Junior !

The day before the last match, the six first year participants and Liu Feng applied for leave to practice their tactics.

Xiao Qi immediately approved. He didn’t plan on giving pointers to these students either. Being able to reach this stage was already completely out of his expectations. Winning against the fourth years was already out of his expectations, let alone the fifth years behind. They had faced a Two-Word Battle Armor Master and a seven-ring Soul Sage! Even with Tang Yuge’s participation, winning was a miracle.

And in his opinion, they would definitely lose this last match, so he just let them do whatever they wanted. He had already received Ying Luohong’s notice, so all the participating students were allowed to go to the Elven Planet to watch the competition, but he had to keep it a secret and not tell Lan Xuanyu and the rest.

Among the seven people in Lan Xuanyu’s small team, only Qian Lei had not appeared before. Other than them, Bing Tianliang and Ding Zhuohan had participated as well, which meant that there were a total of nine first years who could head to the Elven Planet. Putting aside the gains, this glory was enough for him to brag about for a year. Now each time the main teachers of the other years saw him, they would take a detour as they were afraid of being provoked. Hence, Xiao Qi was in a very good mood these few days.

After the class in the morning ended, Xiao Qi turned to the students that came to class today and said, “Tomorrow afternoon, it will be the last year-skipping challenge. Although the probability of us winning is very small, this is also the last stage that we will face. I won’t say much about other things, but for the final battle, all of us will cheer for the students who are participating, and I will cheer for them with all of you. Regardless of whether we win or lose, all of you are the pride of your teachers.”

The students’ emotions were stirred, but Ding Zhuohan frowned and couldn’t help but say, “Teacher Xiao, from what you’re saying, it seems like we don’t have a chance tomorrow?”

Xiao Qi glanced at him. “Your chances aren’t high indeed. There is a very strong student among the sixth years. He should have been specially admitted into the Inner Court when he was in his third year, but he stayed in the Outer Court because of some special reasons. Unless he doesn’t make a move, our chance isn’t high.”

Bing Tian asked, “How much stronger is he compared to the fifth years?”

Xiao Qi said, “Hua Linhan? Hua Linhan probably won’t be able to last more than a few minutes in his hands.”

The entire class went into an uproar.

Ding Zhuohan couldn’t help but ask, “Teacher Xiao, since you know about him, why didn’t you tell us before?”

Xiao Qi smiled bitterly and told them the truth, “Because it doesn’t matter if I tell you or not. If I tell you, it will dispel your enthusiasm and make you unable to face the competition together.”

The day passed by quickly and it was finally time for the final battle.

Lan Xuanyu and his teammates had spent the night cultivating at Sea God Lake. In order to maintain their best state, they didn’t have time to care about being extravagant. They didn’t pay any emblems for their cultivation this time. Tang Yue had told them that because of their outstanding performance in the Outer Court Academy Competition, they were allowed to cultivate in the Sea God Lake for free.

That was two free purple emblems! There were seven of them.

The effect of cultivating in Sea God Lake was obvious. It was free, so Lan Xuanyu shamelessly brought his teammates to soak in the lake and even ate an extra Explosive Blood Fruit to cultivate. The amount of life energy he absorbed was unprecedented.

After adjusting his state for the entire morning, he felt that he had reached his peak state before setting off for the competition grounds.

When he walked into the resting area, his teammates were already there. Liu Feng went to the spectator stand while the other five people focused their attention on him.

Lan Xuanyu took a few steps forward and extended his right hand. His teammates folded their hands and shouted, “Victory!”

The door opened, and the sunlight fell naturally like before. At this moment, the hearts of these young people were filled with an unprecedented aura. It was the conviction to win, and it was a pride welling from the bottom of their hearts.

“Fight!” Lan Xuanyu waved his hand and led the way out. Six people walked out in a single file, and for the fifth time, they walked onto the stage that belonged to them.

The sunlight in the open mecha training grounds was a little dazzling. When Lan Xuanyu’s team walked out, their opponent, the sixth years’ representative, was also walking out from the opposite side.

As the venue was too big and too far away, coupled with the sunlight, it was difficult to see clearly.

Lan Xuanyu clenched his fists tightly. This was possibly the most difficult match he had ever fought since he had become a soul master. With Nana’s reminder, he had completely given up on the idea of stalling for time. He could only fight with all his might. Regardless of the outcome, he had to use every last bit of his soul power.

Both parties gradually got closer and there was only naturally only one opponent. Under the sunlight, both parties gradually saw each other.

On the spectator stand, the cheers from the first years resounded throughout the entire place. Everyone was a soul master, and their voices were naturally loud.

At this very moment, almost all the teachers and students from the Outer Court were gathered at the spectator stand in the mecha training grounds. They were all waiting to watch this battle.

Hua Linhan’s expression was still somewhat ugly. Beside him sat the pretty senior sister who was with the honest youth.

“Shanyu, tell me, you’re so good looking, how did you fall for that guy?” Hua Linhan whispered.

The pretty senior sister Shanyu glanced at him and said, “If you’re capable, say it in front of him.”

Hua Linhan suddenly said angrily, “I dare to say this even in front of him. I’m so miserable! I’ve been scammed by this guy.”

Shanyu asked doubtfully, “Although that guy is unreliable, he wouldn’t scam anyone, right?”

Hua Linhan was about to cry. “You don’t know, but he promised me that as long as I gave him a black emblem, he would concede the last match to me! I’ve given it to him long ago, but, but…”

Shanyu was surprised. “A black emblem? Are you crazy? Where did you get so much money?”

Hua Linhan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “I borrowed it! I gathered it myself and gave it to him, but who knew that I would fail miserably. I couldn’t even fight him…”

Shanyu said, “In other words, he didn’t cheat you, but you failed to live up to his expectations! What the heck are you telling me?”

“…Can you have some sympathy, dear senior sister?” The corners of Hua Linhan’s mouth were trembling so much that he was about to drool.

“No. None of you are good people.” Shanyu rolled her eyes.

“Then why are you still with him?” Hua Linhan didn’t forget to provoke him.

“I’m willing, what does that have to do with you ? Watch the competition. One black emblem, you’re really rich. I’ll tax him some when we go back.” Shanyu suddenly felt very good. She had never been worried about that guy’s ability to earn money. If not for his outstanding ability in this aspect, he wouldn’t have been able to thrive in the Outer Court and become the true number one person in the whole Outer Court!

Lan Xuanyu suddenly stopped in his tracks. His eyes gradually turned sluggish, and he was even somewhat dazed because at this moment, he could already see his opponent clearly.

Not far away, the honest youth waved at him with a warm smile. “Hello, Junior!”
