Chapter 276: Let Them Admire, Let Them Submit

Inside the resting room, Chi Xuan lies on a chair with a swollen face.

"How do you feel?"

"Better now. That punch almost knocked me out cold."

"Well, that’s the power of the Immortals from the Ming Country."

"Immortals are not warriors. She may seem delicate, unable to even open a bottle cap, but she can open my head with just her bare hands." Chi Xuan removes the towel covering his face, revealing a bruised and swollen wound. The wound is pulsating and rapidly healing. "What’s the result of the fifth round?"

"It’s a draw, both of them injured."

"The bespectacled kid is quite strong. He didn’t have time to take off his glasses?"

"He took them off and used his magic eye, but still couldn’t win. The judges are currently discussing who won."

"Who do you think won?"

"The opponent… both of them are injured, but the opponent lost an arm, while the bespectacled guy lost his head."

"Oh, this is quite unexpected. Isn’t the Tulip Academy a group of sword flower masters?"

"The bloodline is too strong, it doesn’t have much to do with the sword flower. This third-year student is very powerful. If you were to face her, you wouldn’t have an easy time."

"This proves that it was right for me to avoid the order and not be targeted." Chi Xuan smiled and said, "Do you think I just went looking for trouble with her for no reason? Deliberately provoking her?"

Little Qiongqi nodded, "That’s right, I just love picking fights!"

He touched his face, "I need her to slap me, so I can smell the deep-seated scent hidden within her heart."

The nearby exchange student looked surprised. Qiongqi is one of the famous Four Beasts, known for feeding on the negative emotions of other creatures such as pain, anger, and despair, in order to strengthen himself. He is the only known member of the Four Beasts bloodline in the Great Wilderness.

"Are you trying to consume her negative emotions?"

"Chi Xuan said, ‘It’s not like she’s swallowing me whole, if she really went all out, maybe she could, but in this situation, at best it’s just a lick.’"

"Oh? I didn’t expect Yun Chuyou to hide such deep negative emotions."

"Indeed, it’s surprising when you do see it. Her cultivation is indeed high, but she will eventually create her own inner demon." Chi Xuan smirked. "If she lets me have a few bites, it might actually help her relieve some of it. This woman doesn’t give any face at all."

"Your method only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. Are you going to follow her all the time?"

"Well, I wouldn’t mind if she stays around longer. It’s like aged wine, the longer the better it tastes."

"What kind of negative emotions does she have inside?"

"All kinds…but the most prevalent one is…"

Chi Xuan playfully said, "Fear!"

Little Qiongqi clenched his fist and said, "After tasting this, I feel more comfortable than ever before. It seems that the stronger my cultivation, the stronger my inner demons become, which helps me in my practice. Before I return to the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, I have to spend more time with her."

"By spending time with her, do you mean picking fights?" asked Chi Xuan, smirking arrogantly.

"Someday, I will make her feel the pain of broken bones!" Chi Xuan said with a cold laugh.

His smile was so wicked and confident that it left others speechless. Perhaps this was the personality of someone who was confident in their defense. If you didn’t try to provoke them, they would be unhappy.

"It’s almost your turn to go on stage," someone said.

"By the way, who is my opponent in the sixth round?" Chi Xuan asked.

"The information is not clear, but it seems like a relatively unknown newcomer or someone who has recently gained fame as a first-year student," replied the person.

"Is she a genius or a mad person?"

"She shares a dormitory with Chao Lu, the daughter of Lord Bai Ze."

"… Interesting." Chi Xuan clenched his five fingers tightly. "This adorable little girl would cry for a long time if I were to give her a beating."

The staff from the Tulip Academy came to remind them, "The sixth match is about to begin. Please prepare to enter the arena."

"Okay," Chi Xuan stood up.

"Wait, you haven’t put on your battle makeup or worn your battle clothing, this…"

"The Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom doesn’t have such traditions, and besides, I enjoy being inflicted with pain. It’s not a real fight if there’s no bloodshed," he said.

Little Qiongqi walked out of the training room, his dark demon power gradually heating up to a boiling point.

…

Michelle stepped onto the arena.

Compared to the other six participants, she might be the most underestimated one. A month ago, she had been thoroughly beaten in various ways by her classmates during combat training, ending up in the infirmary for days each time. She performed so poorly that her professors and mentors advised her to consider taking a leave of absence and repeating a year.

There were many people who were better than her, so she stepped onto the stage, carrying the weight of many gazes, some critical and some hostile.

The pressure brought by public opinion was always heavy. Each person was just throwing a speck of dust, but when it landed on someone, it became a tomb.

Her reputation as a genius had yet to spread. Standing on the stage, she was seen as a disappointment by many. Perhaps this was a good thing, because most people didn’t have hope for her. Therefore, she didn’t need to carry a heavy burden of pressure, nor did she need to endure the jealous looks of those who wished for her failure.

If she won here, her fame would quickly spread, becoming the first step towards gaining recognition in Europe.

Michelle only wanted that golden tree seed. Whether or not she should truly embark on this path, she hadn’t decided yet.

She thought that she hadn’t made up her mind.

But she had long been prepared.

"Go." Judy brushed past her with her injured arm, her voice light. "Go and let them admire you, let them bow their heads."

Don’t disappoint us.

Don’t disappoint Mr. Smith.

Michelle understood the unspoken words in her eyes, nodded quietly, and walked towards the sunlit arena.

Under the witness of the golden tree, she opened her eyes filled with golden light and embarked on the next stage of her life.

The host exclaimed with a passionate voice.

"The grand battle is here! On the blue side, we have Chi Xuan, a mysterious exchange student from the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, and on the red side, we have Michelle Hope, a freshman from the Tulip Academy! Please step onto the arena!"

In the center of the arena, Michelle saw her opponent clearly, a tall and muscular young man with red hair. He was slightly different from what she had imagined, not as menacing, but she could keenly sense his undisguised ferocity, like the bloodlust and hunger she had witnessed in the monsters back in her hometown.

"Are you hungry?" Michelle took the initiative to ask.

Little Qiongqi looked at Michelle, feeling that the girl in front of him was completely different from the girl described in the information. He leaned forward, leaving behind the written information.

"I’m very hungry… I need a little bit of blood mixed with pain as seasoning."

"Crazy dog."

"To insult someone upon first meeting, isn’t that inappropriate, young girl?" Chi Xuan smirked. "You’re very rude."

"What a hypocritical dictator who causes internal strife and division in their own country. It’s disgusting how fake and phony you are," Michelle said coldly, her expression icy as she spat out her scathing condemnation. "It’s because of jerks like you…!"

"What does it have to do with you, ally?" Chi Xuan exclaimed, his expression unpleasant but satisfied with the anger emanating from the other person.

"Yes, it has nothing to do with me."

Michelle stopped her outburst and suddenly a heated air current surged behind her shoulders, dragon blood surging.

"Let me warn you in advance, I might go a little heavy-handed."

Death Forbidden Holy Domain will defeat you and make you suffer!

Chi Xuan was delighted and said, "Come on, hit me with all your strength!"

The referee confirmed the time, closed their mouth, and left the stage to them.

Beep! The signal to start sounded.

Little Qiongqi prepared for defense, but he was a step too late in raising his hands to protect his face.

Michelle, with her Dragonborn blood energy fully unleashed, unleashed a burst of ferocious strength. Her eyes turned red, and the Dragonborn blood energy on her body became even more vibrant.

Dragonborn unleashed a full-force punch, almost burying his fist into Chi Xuan’s facial bones. The vibrations transmitted through the bones made her hear the sound of flesh and bones being crushed.

Dragonblood signifies the bloodline of a warrior and proudly declares its reason for being the strongest.

This punch displayed remarkable skill, leaving many students astonished and terrifying the exchange students from the Blue Iris University.

Such a terrifying punch!

Clang… Sasha, holding a cup of tea, accidentally knocked it over, spilling the tea onto the floor and wetting the corner of her skirt.

The vice principal and Earth Dragon Monk were puzzled by the sudden outburst of the Blood Noble, but she seemed as if nothing had happened, and she picked up the cup as if nothing had occurred.

Sasha suppressed her inner turmoil; she couldn’t be mistaken… That was Liliana’s special skill, known as the first-level Blood Fury.
