At this moment, in the vast martial arena, the crowd dispersed, creating a space. The area, a thousand meters in length and width, was cordoned off by the disciples of Qingyun Academy. Martial artists from various cities craned their necks, eagerly watching the unfolding drama.
Within the arena, Ye Wushuang stood in his white robe, his youthful face slightly naive, yet exuding a sense of calm acceptance. In his hand was the same ordinary yellow-grade spiritual weapon. A hundred meters away, Qin Hao, dressed in a white robe, had a handsome but cold expression. The pale golden longsword in his hand radiated a lively aura.
This was truly a battle between two prodigies.
Ye Wushuang, who had ranked first in all three assessments, had transformed from a waste just over a month ago to a Son of Destiny. Qin Hao, the awakened bloodline warrior, was the pride of the Qin family and the treasure of the Qin clan.
One was at the eighth level of the Physical Training Realm, and the other at the ninth. Both had performed exceptionally well in the assessments, which tested the foundation of martial arts, mental fortitude, and learning ability. But now, with real weapons and true combat, it was time to see their true strength.
On the main platform, Tang Chuyi, Murong Ying, and Bai Yi sat solemnly.
“Dean Tang… are you sure this is really okay?” Murong Ying asked cautiously.
“What could possibly go wrong?” Tang Chuyi snorted. “The boy challenged on his own accord, and it’s in accordance with the academy’s rules. I can’t refuse him.”
“Well, that’s true, but Ye Wushuang, despite ranking first in the test, has only been training for a month. I’m afraid… he might not be a match for Qin Hao,” Murong Ying continued, his voice tinged with concern. “Such a promising talent is rare, and it would be a pity if he were to die here.”
Tang Chuyi humphed again. “The Qin clan’s people are really something else.”
Meanwhile, on the other side, Qin Yongda, Qin Shanming, and others wore worried expressions. Before the three assessments, they were confident that Qin Hao could easily defeat Ye Wushuang. But now, after seeing Ye Wushuang’s performance, they couldn’t help but wonder: Was Ye Wushuang truly that formidable? Could Qin Hao really win?
Qin Yongda approached Qin Yansong and Qin Fangbo, speaking in a low and respectful tone. “Sirs, if the fight takes a bad turn, please ensure Hao’s safety…”
“Humph!” Qin Fangbo responded coldly. “We understand better than you do. Qin Hao is now a member of the main clan, and his life is precious. We will intervene if it becomes absolutely necessary.”
“Y-yes, of course,” Qin Yongda nodded hastily.
Around the arena, Ye Qingfeng, Liu Yuemei, Ye Feifei, and others were filled with anxiety. Ye Wushuang had just achieved first place in the assessment, and now Qin Hao was challenging him. Could Ye Wushuang really stand a chance against Qin Hao?
Wang Xueqi stood beside them, offering reassurance. “Don’t worry. I spent some time with Ye in the Flowing Moon Mountains. Qin Hao… he won’t be a match for him.”
The true terror of Ye Wushuang was something Qin Hao had no idea about! But Wang Xueqi wasn’t worried about Ye Wushuang losing. Her concern was that the two peak Condensation Pulse Realm experts from the Qin clan might interfere. If Qin Hao were in danger, one could block Tang Chuyi while the other directly intervened, breaking the rules. That would be the real trouble.
Meanwhile, Yun Qingyue stood at the edge of the arena, watching the scene with a calm expression. Qin Hao… he was too impulsive! With the Qin clan’s experts already present, why risk a deadly battle with Ye Wushuang just for the sake of pride? She felt disdain in her heart. Qin Hao was not destined to be her long-term support. No matter how strong his talent was, he wouldn’t get far with such impulsiveness.
However, she knew that Qin Hao, with his bloodline enhancement, was incredibly powerful. He still had a good chance of winning against Ye Wushuang.
At this moment, Mentor Bai Yi stood up and declared in a resounding voice, “Qin Hao challenges Ye Wushuang. Both parties have voluntarily agreed to this duel. Now, the duel begins.”
