As the voice rang out, everyone’s faces were filled with astonishment.
Had they reached this point, and yet someone still refused to accept it?
Who could it be?
All eyes turned toward the speaker.
Qin Hao!
It was Qin Hao again!
Tang Chuyi’s eyebrows shot up, and he let out a cold snort. “The so-called misdeeds of Ye Wushuang mentioned by Yun Qingyue have already been proven to be slander by Yun Ziyan. What more do you refuse to accept?”
Qin Hao’s gaze was fixed directly on Ye Wushuang as he humphed, “My refusal is not about that matter, but about Ye Wushuang’s ranking!”
“He does not deserve to be first!”
Upon hearing these words, everyone was left speechless.
“Ye Wushuang ranked first in all three assessments. If he doesn’t deserve it, do you, Qin Hao, think you do?” Qing Shiyu retorted sharply without any hesitation.
Qin Hao glanced at Qing Shiyu but said nothing. She was, after all, a princess. Even with his return to the Qin clan’s register, he was still nothing compared to a princess.
Turning to Tang Chuyi, Qin Hao said calmly, “I am aware that the academy uses the three assessments to determine rankings.”
“However, there is one more thing. The academy once stipulated that if anyone has objections to the assessment rankings, they may challenge the disciple ranked above them to determine the order by strength.”
As soon as these words left his mouth, the expressions of Tang Chuyi, Murong Ying, Bai Yi, and others changed.
“Disciple Qin Hao, who ranked second in the test, wishes to challenge Ye Wushuang, who ranked first…” Qin Hao declared.
The moment Qin Hao finished speaking, Qin Yansong and Qin Fangbo, seated on the Qin family’s high platform, stood up abruptly.
“No way!”
“Absurd!”
Qin Yansong immediately shouted, “Qin Hao, you are already a member of our Qin clan’s main family. Your life is not just your own; it belongs to the Qin clan. I forbid it!”
“Absolutely not!” Qin Fangbo also sternly interjected.
It was true that Qin Hao was at the ninth level of the Physical Training Realm, but Ye Wushuang was already at the eighth level. In this test, Ye Wushuang had achieved first place in all three challenges, displaying an extraordinary talent that was simply too strong.
If Qin Hao challenged Ye Wushuang and failed… the loss would be too great for the Qin clan to bear.
Qin Hao’s gaze shifted from the two elders on the high platform to Tang Chuyi, and he bowed respectfully. “Disciple has made up his mind. I will challenge Ye Wushuang!”
At this moment, both Qin Fangbo and Qin Yansong’s faces turned pale.
Qin Hao had been driven mad by anger!
With his awakened bloodline, Qin Hao, nurtured by the Qin clan, was destined to become a strong warrior at the Heavenly Gang Realm. Moreover, Ye Wushuang was certain to die after today. Why risk this momentary conflict with Ye Wushuang?
Tang Chuyi also looked at Qin Hao with astonishment.
“Are you sure?”
“Disciple is certain!”
Tang Chuyi continued, “Do you understand that those who are dissatisfied with the test results are indeed allowed to challenge those ranked higher?”
“But such a challenge is without regard for life or death. If you succeed, you can take Ye Wushuang’s place. However, if you fail… you may die!”
Upon hearing this, Qin Hao affirmed once more, “Disciple is well aware.”
“Yet, Ye Wushuang does not deserve to be first, and I still insist on challenging him!”
At this moment, the entire martial field was deathly quiet.
Everyone was stunned by Qin Hao’s sudden demand.
How much did he refuse to accept Ye Wushuang’s superiority? How much did he hate Ye Wushuang?
Qing Shiyu humphed at this moment, “Fearless, but foolish.”
Tang Chuyi said no more and turned to Ye Wushuang, “Do you accept the challenge?”
Would he accept?
Of course, he would!
Ye Wushuang smiled and nodded slightly.
“Very well!”
Tang Chuyi then announced, “Since Qin Hao, dissatisfied with the test results, has voluntarily challenged Ye Wushuang, and Ye Wushuang has accepted the challenge, I hereby declare that Qin Hao and Ye Wushuang will engage in combat next!”
Tang Chuyi added, “Qin Hao, remember your choice. This battle is a fight to the death.”
The long sword in Qin Hao’s hand gleamed with a flash of light as he humphed, “I know!”
This was supposed to be his first place, his moment in the spotlight. How could he allow Ye Wushuang to take everything away from him?
Today, Ye Wushuang must die!
