Chapter 15: Battle Against Qin Xue

“The Grand Competition officially begins!” the White-haired Elder announced with a deep, resonant voice.

Following the command, the youths on the Battle Stage all raised their weapons, glaring at every enemy on the field. Each of them pointed their weapons at the people around them, vigilantly guarding against whoever might strike first.

Qin Yefeng also stared coldly at his young opponents on the field, thinking to himself: With so many people here today, I must win cleanly and decisively. I need to end the battles quickly, secure victory in one fell swoop, and claim the spot of a Seeded Contestant.

Those youths who had intended to attack Qin Yefeng didn’t dare to step within five paces of him.

Because many had seen with their own eyes that Qin Yefeng could lift Great Cauldrons weighing ten thousand Jin and thirty thousand Jin simultaneously, and he also possessed extraordinary talent. Thus, for a time, none of the youths from the various clans dared to provoke this formidable figure.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A fight broke out in one corner of the martial arena, and immediately, chaotic battles erupted all over the stage.

A cacophony of messy sounds followed. Figures were kicked off the stage, and people falling to the ground could be seen everywhere.

Before long, under the intense fighting, less than half of the people remained on the massive Battle Stage.

Most of them had been blasted off the stage by the combined efforts of Qin Hao and Qin Yu. At this moment, the two of them, coordinating with Qin Xue, were actually clearing the stage, knocking off the scattered stragglers.

Seeing that the stage had been cleared, Qin Hao arrogantly clamored, “Qin Yefeng, today is the day we brothers take our revenge. Just obediently let yourself be beaten down.”

Qin Yefeng completely ignored Qin Hao. Although their Cultivation had improved significantly after three months of bitter training, they were still nothing in Qin Yefeng’s eyes.

In Qin Yefeng’s mind, there was only one enemy on this field: the pink-clad woman holding a Long Spear behind Qin Yu and Qin Hao. She was his only opponent on the field, the only enemy capable of fighting him.

At this moment, there were only four people left on the Battle Stage, and those three were clearly a team. This was very clear to the spectators watching from below.

“Although this Qin Yefeng is a rare genius, in actual combat, two fists are no match for four hands, let alone the fact that he has three enemies!”

“Never mind three people, even Qin Xue alone has the strength of the Peak of the Ninth Layer of Xiantian Realm. Qin Yefeng, with only the strength of the Seventh Layer of Xiantian Realm, is absolutely no match for Qin Xue!”

“That goes without saying. Moreover, I heard that because Qin Xue is highly regarded by the higher-ups of the Holy Sun Academy, an exception was made for her to learn a High-grade Martial Arts Technique in advance. Defeating Qin Yefeng will be a breeze for her.”

“Right, an easy crush…”

At this moment, on the Battle Stage, Qin Hao realized he was being ignored. Furious, he charged forward and viciously struck out with the Eagle Claw in his hand. His moves were exceptionally fierce, and a cold gleam flashed across the sharp edges of the Eagle Claw.

Qin Yefeng watched the approaching Eagle Claw and directly threw an explosive punch, smashing into the Bintie Eagle Claw.

“Boom!”

The unyielding force of the punch deformed the Bintie Eagle Claw and directly blasted Qin Hao to the ground.

Without giving Qin Hao time to react, he kicked him out of the arena. The explosive sound of the air was like rolling thunder, and it nearly sent Qin Yu, who was behind him, tumbling off the stage as well.

Instantly, a wave of cheers erupted from the audience. In truth, everyone secretly hoped the underdog would defeat the strong, as that made for a much more exciting spectacle.

Therefore, when Qin Yefeng displayed formidable strength and the potential to turn the tables, they unhesitatingly began to cheer and shout in support.

Seeing his younger brother blasted off the stage, Qin Yu also charged over in a rage. With bloodshot eyes, he raised his Iron Hammer and attacked Qin Yefeng.

Swish!

Qin Yefeng raised his Battle Saber, slicing through the Iron Hammer in Qin Yu’s hand with a single strike, before the blade abruptly stopped right at his neck.

“Don’t bother showing off such superficial moves; bring out your Ultimate Move!” Qin Yefeng smiled and moved the blade away, preparing to give Qin Yu a chance to fight again.

A chill ran down Qin Yu’s spine, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat.

At this moment, he was terrified by the afterthought that if the saber had gone even a fraction deeper, his neck would have been severed.

“I surrender! I surrender!” Qin Yu dropped to his knees in terror.

Seeing Qin Yefeng defeat another person, many in the audience below the stage began to roar and cheer.

Meanwhile, in the plaza, the Senior Students of the Holy Sun Academy were all baffled as to why this Qin Yefeng was actually so strong.

“This is too strong!”

“This is impossible, there’s absolutely no way he could win so easily!”

“My eyes must be playing tricks on me! This Qin Yefeng is actually this strong. I take back what I just said; he actually stands a chance against Qin Xue.”

Only Qin Yefeng and Qin Xue remained on the stage. The spot for the Holy Sun Academy’s Seed Student would be decided between these two young men and women. Who would it be?

The audience below the stage all watched with bated breath.

On the Chief Seats, Liu Ying, who had been watching the battle, found his initially excited mood turning quite solemn. It seemed Qin Xue might not win the competition so easily after all!

Although Qin Yefeng’s chances of winning were slim, they weren’t non-existent!

As Liu Ying watched the high stage, deep down he even hoped that Qin Yefeng would be a bit stronger, and it would be even better if he could defeat Qin Xue.

That way, he could personally step in and Cripple Qin Yefeng. Then, Liu Yan would be grateful to him and gift him a High-grade Cultivation Technique and Supreme-grade Pills, which would be perfect.

Meanwhile, the White-haired Elder closest to the Battle Stage looked at the man and woman on the stage. Because they both shared the surname Qin, he had curiously glanced at the prepared Competition Scrolls.

He had only just learned of the grievances between these two, realizing there was such a convoluted story behind it.

If Qin Yefeng failed this time, he might live in this woman’s shadow for the rest of his life. As a member of the Holy Sun Academy, the White-haired Elder naturally had his own selfish motives and hoped Qin Yefeng would win.

Because the result of this competition was extremely important to Qin Yefeng personally, and for the Holy Sun Academy, it meant gaining a genius Seeded Contestant.

In terms of their strength, Qin Xue was a level higher.

However, with Qin Yefeng’s King-level Martial Artist Talent and his incredibly formidable Physical Strength, compared to Qin Xue, who was just a small snowflake, Qin Yefeng would be the sun in the future, a radiant existence.

Therefore, the White-haired Elder hoped Qin Yefeng would win, so that his future would be bright, and the future of the Holy Sun Academy would also be bright!

He muttered softly, “The world only has two forms: one is the Opposition of Male and Female, and the other is the Fusion of Male and Female. The two are either deeply in love or mortal enemies. Qin Yefeng, you must not get entangled in Romantic Affairs!”

On the Battle Stage.

Qin Xue stood quietly on the Battle Stage holding her Long Spear, and said coldly, “I admit you’ve become very strong now, but you are still far from being my match.”

“Whether I can beat you or not, we’ll only know after we fight!” Qin Yefeng stared at Qin Xue and replied sternly.

At this final juncture, Qin Yefeng thought to himself that he absolutely had to win. He could not let down his father’s expectations, and he had to seek revenge against this woman for their Deep-seated Blood Feud!

He, Qin Yefeng, was not someone who would be blindly devoted just because he liked a woman, even if he had once liked this woman immensely.

But this damn woman wanted to harm him and his father, and that was something he could not tolerate. This was Qin Yefeng’s bottom line!
