Chapter 160: The First to Fight

“Ye Xuan from Jiangzhou?”

Many people were slightly shocked when they had heard the lethargic-looking youngster mention Ye Xuan in the office building.

Jiangzhou University had a split recently. At the same time, in Jiangzhou University’s split, Ye Xuan killed a student from the Eternal Night Clan in a fight.

This made him famous in the Xia.

“I watched that video of Ye Xuan. He is on the intermediate Bronze level, and he managed to kill that guy from the Eternal Night Clan on the peak Bronze level. In that sense, he is really very talented.”

After learning Ye Xuan had come with Jiangzhou’s team, some student said doubtfully, “But I suppose there is still a big gap between him and us, isn’t there?”

Other students on the Bronze level in the building nodded to echo with him.

Although they were also Beast Tamers on the Bronze level, in fact, almost all of the Beast Tamers who came here this time were Beast Tamers on the verge of achieving the Silver level.

Ye Xuan was the only exception.

In such circumstances, Ye Xuan’s appearance here was like a square peg in a round hole.

Pitapat.

While they were discussing, as some footsteps came, the King of Tianshan walked into the office building’s lobby, followed by Ye Xuan and others.

As soon as they walked into the lobby, Ye Xuan, Huo Tong, and others saw quite a few Challenger-level strong people in the lobby. They had heard a lot about these Challenger-level strong people before. Reports about them were frequently seen on the Internet.

Besides these strong people, on the other side of the lobby, there were ten-odd Beast Tamers about their age, either sitting or standing.

“Ye Xuan, go there with your fellows. Talk to those geniuses from different prefectures of the Xia.”

“Most of them will become your opponents in the next Hundred Academy League held by your universities.”

Wang Tianshan said to Ye Xuan and others with a smile when he had entered the lobby and seen the geniuses from other prefectures.

Ye Xuan, Huo Tong, and others did what they had been told right away.

They walked to the left side of the lobby, where dozens of geniuses from different prefectures stayed in small groups.

Those people evidently did not know each other well, either.

Those who were chitchatting were mostly students from the same prefecture, and they already knew each other.

Just like Ye Xuan, Huo Tong, and so on.

“Ye Xuan, come and take a seat here.”

However, as soon as Ye Xuan, Huo Tong, and others walked over, a young man who looked somewhat lethargic greeted Ye Xuan. He was standing in front of a few seats that had not been unoccupied yet.

Ye Xuan was slightly struck dumb.

He looked at that young man.

When he had seen the young man, he found the guy’s face a little familiar somehow.

However, he was very sure he had never seen this young man before.

But from the uniform the young man was wearing, he immediately knew this guy should be from Zhongzhou University.

“Nice to meet you.”

Ye Xuan was too polite to say no to the young man’s invitation.

So, he walked over with Huo Tong and others.

“Ye Xuan, please allow me to introduce myself. I am Fang Luotian from Zhongzhou University.”

When Ye Xuan had been in front of him, Fang Luotian introduced himself to Ye Xuan, “It is really a surprise to see you on the Dragon Horn Planet.”

“Fang Luotian…”

Fang Luotian’s self-introduction seemed to ring a bell. Ye Xuan asked him, “Do you know Fang Lan?”

He finally realized why he had found the young man’s face familiar.

It was because the young man and Fang Lan, whom he once saved on the Ancient God Planet, looked very alike.

“Of course. I am Fang Lan’s second elder brother.”

Fang Luotian smiled at Ye Xuan. He said, “My little sister told me about you as soon as she got home last time. Speaking of this, I really owe you a thank you.”

“Not at all. Even if I had not been there, Fang Lan would still have landed on her feet. She is strong enough,” Ye Xuan said, shaking his head.

Ye Xuan and others sat down while they were speaking.

The seats here were arranged the same way as those in the bus station. There were two rows of seats that faced each other.

Therefore, Ye Xuan sat down with Huo Tong and others in the same row.

Fang Laotian and his companions sat down opposite Ye Xuan and others.

“Alas, you don’t know her at all. My sister is as stubborn as a mule. She would never leave alone on that occasion.”

Fang Luotian exclaimed.

His face beamed at the mention of Fang Lan. He obviously loved his little sister a lot.

This put Ye Xuan somewhat jealous.

Because he wanted a little sister, too.

Should he count on his parents for that?

However, if he counted on his parents for that, he really had no idea for how long he would have to wait.

Besides, he doubted baby girls were as adorable as when they grew up.

Fang Luotian had no idea at all that Ye Xuan was feeling jealous of him. He could not stop talking about Fang Lan once he had started.

Huo Tong and others also started to talk with the other students who had traveled here from Zhongzhou with Fang Luotian.

In this way, the two teams got acquainted very quickly.

Ye Xuan knew from them very soon that the three fellows staying with Fang Luotian were also from Zhongzhou University, just like Fang Luotian. That was kind of surprising.

They were not from other universities in Zhongzhou.

The four’s strength was the same as Ye Xuan’s team – two of them were Beast Tamers on the Bronze level, and the other two were Beast Tamers on the Silver level.

However, Fang Luotian’s level was not the same as Ye Xuan’s. He was not a Beast Tamer on the Bronze level.

Instead, as a sophomore at Zhongzhou University, he was a Beast Tamer on the Silver level.

“Fang.” When they had got acquainted, something suddenly occurred to Ye Xuan. He asked Fang Luotian, “Do you know when we can go to compete against those from the Dragon Horn Planet?”

“Soon. It will not take long.”

Fang Luotian said, “Now we are waiting for the Beast Tamers from Qingzhou Prefecture and Youzhou Prefecture.”

“When they have arrived and settled down, we will probably go to the fighting field behind the building immediately.”

The fighting field behind the building?

Ye Xuan was struck dumb. He asked, “Fang, you mean those from the Dragon Horn Planet are already here?”

“Exactly. They have been here for a long time.”

Fang Luotian answered with a nod.

“Wang Tianshan, I suggest we send Ye Xuan first in the competition of low- and intermediate-level Beast Tamers between the Xia and the Dragon Horn Planet.”

While Ye Xuan talked with Fang Luotian, Wang Tianshan was also talking with other Challenger-level Beast Tamers from the nine prefectures of the Xia.

“Send Ye Xuan first?”

Wang Tianshan vetoed the proposal right away. “No, that is not a good idea. Ye Xuan has pretty good strength. The aim of the first fight between the Dragon Horn Planet and us is to decide the right of ownership of the area around the Red Flame Valley, but that area is barren.”

The ultimate purpose of the competition between the Beast Tamers from the Xia and the Dragon Horn Planet was to decide ownership of some areas.

In such circumstances, both parties would certainly send stronger students to compete for areas richer in resources. The richer an area was, the stronger the student sent to fight for it should be.

Moreover, how many Primary Life Liquids the students could get in the end would also depend on the area they competed for.

Generally speaking, the richer the area they competed for was, the more Primary Life Liquids they would get in the end.

Therefore, Wang Tianshan certainly would not agree to send Ye Xuan for the first fight.

Because this fight would decide the right of ownership of an area called Red Flame Valley and its adjacent areas on the Dragon Horn Planet.

Among the areas they would compete for this time, this area was the one with the least resources.

“Ye Xuan has pretty good strength?”

Those Challengers from the Xia were rendered speechless by this comment.

They reacted the same as Wang Tianshan when he saw Ye Xuan for the first time.

Based on their experiences, they did not think Ye Xuan, whose cultivation level was only intermediate Bronze, would make many contributions to a territorial competition.

In such circumstances, if they did not send Ye Xuan in the first fight, should they send him in some later fight instead? That would be ridiculous.

Because the later a fight was, the more abundant the evolutionary resources were in the relative area.

They certainly would not let Wang Tianshan do whatever he wanted on that occasion.

Although they did believe Ye Xuan must be kind of strong. Otherwise, Wang Tianshan would not have brought him here.

However, was any student they brought here weak?

Even if their students were weak, they would still defeat Ye Xuan, who was only on the intermediate Bronze level.

“Wang Tianshan, we can’t concede this. Ye Xuan has to be the first to fight. This is not negotiable.”

Those Challenger-level strong people all looked at Wang Tianshan.

“What are you talking about? Why is this not negotiable? Do you think what I said just now is nonsense…”

In that situation, Wang Tianshan was going to explain to them immediately.

Buzz!

Buzz!

However, at this moment, two buzzes came in succession from the square in the distance.

Immediately, two giant beams of light appeared and then disappeared.

When the beams of light had disappeared, two teams showed up on the square almost at the same time.

“Qingzhou and Youzhou have arrived, too. Let’s go. Save them the trouble to wait in the building. Let’s go to receive them directly.”

“And then we will go to the fighting field behind together. As to the other arrangements, we will talk about them when we get there.”

Seeing the Qingzhou and Youzhou teams have arrived, the Challenger-level strong people got to their feet right away.

Fuck!

Wang Tianshan swore in a low voice, but he had to get to his feet as well and catch up to them.

Simultaneously, as the Challenger-level Beast Tamers walked out, Ye Xuan and others also got to their feet from their seats and followed them out of the lobby.

They walked out of the building and came to the square to reunite with the Qingzhou and Youzhou teams.

The Challenger-level Beast Tamers did some chitchat with the leaders of the two prefectures. Then, without wasting any time.

They led Ye Xuan and other students to the fighting field behind the office building directly.

The students from Qingzhou and Youzhou were dumbfounded.

They were surprised that the competition between them and the Beast Tamers from the Dragon Horn Clan would start quickly.

“Are those the Beast Tamers from the Dragon Horn Clan?”

Soon, on the fighting field behind the office building.

Ye Xuan and others saw a group of Beast Tamers that looked quite similar to themselves.

The only difference was they all had a small horn on their foreheads.

They were obviously the Beast Tamers from the Dragon Horn Clan.

The male Beast Tamers from the Dragon Horn Clan had small black horns on their foreheads.

The female Beast Tamers had small pink horns on their foreheads.

“Brook, you will be the first one to fight. Remember, try your best and get the first victory for us!”

As Ye Xuan and others came closer, at the sight of them, an older man from the Dragon Horn Planet restricted his voice through his Mind Energy to transmit his voice to a young man from the Dragon Horn Planet.

“Elder Kasa.”

Brook said unhappily, “The first fight is to compete for the Red Flame Valley. Those Ceruleans can’t send any strong Beast Tamer for that. Don’t you think my talent will be wasted?”

“Humph! What do you know? The Secret Realm, newly built in the Red Flame Valley, has abundant resources. So, we must win this first fight.”

The elder called Kasa instantly snorted at Brook’s response.
