“*You* are at the second tier of physical training, and *she* is merely at the first tier, yet you couldn’t defeat her?”
Liu Ying Yue scolded, “All those pills the family has given you, all the private tutors we’ve hired for you—have they all been in vain?”
Liu Xuan Yu, already in a bad mood from being beaten up, felt a surge of anger upon hearing his sister’s harsh words instead of comfort. He retorted with a snort, “Ye Fei Fei is taught by her elder brother. If you think I’m useless, I think you’re even more useless!”
“What did you say?”
“Is it wrong?” Liu Xuan Yu retorted indignantly, “You’re not a match for Ye Wu Shuang either, are you? If you’re not as good as your brother, it’s only natural that I’m not as good as my sister!”
“You… you…” Liu Ying Yue was so furious at her brother’s words that she was about to strike him.
“Now, now…” Xiao Ruo Nan stepped in to stop Liu Ying Yue, trying to mediate, “Ye Fei Fei is not an ordinary opponent. Xuan Yu’s loss isn’t unjustified…”
Liu Ying Yue let her hand drop, but she still huffed, “And you’re defending him!”
“Don’t worry…” Xiao Ruo Nan smiled, “This is only the second round. The real excitement is yet to come in the following matches…”
The second round, with sixty-four participants, concluded after half an hour, leaving only thirty-two victors. After a brief half-hour break, the third round began.
This time, Ye Fei Fei’s opponent was a girl also at the first tier of physical training, and Ye Fei Fei won the match with ease.
Meanwhile, Shang Han from the Shang clan had been ruthless from the first round to the third. No matter if his opponents were at the first, second, or third tier, he always defeated them with severe injuries. Many had already realized how terrifyingly strong he was.
As the third round ended, only sixteen young boys and girls remained in the arena, and among them, Ye Fei Fei was the only one still at the first tier of physical training.
In the waiting area, Ye Fei Fei looked at Qing Yan, whose face was bruised and swollen, and couldn’t help but ask, “What happened to you?”
Qing Yan replied with a wry smile, “I ran into Xiao Ying. She’s too strong—she’s at the third tier of physical training. I couldn’t beat her.”
Ye Fei Fei gently touched Qing Yan’s swollen forehead and asked, “Are you okay?”
Qing Yan dismissed her concern, “It’s just a minor injury. I’ll be fine.”
Ye Fei Fei felt apologetic and said, “My brother is a very skilled alchemist. Once the assessment is over, I’ll have him make some ordinary pills to help you heal.”
“I’m sorry,” Qing Yan said, “I’ve been too close to you, and Xiao Ying really hates me. She took it out on you… If it weren’t for that, with your status as a prince, she wouldn’t dare…”
Qing Yan interrupted Ye Fei Fei, smiling, “My father has dozens of princes and princesses. I’m not favored anyway. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be cultivating here in Qing Tian Academy. Don’t worry about it.”
After a pause, Qing Yan turned serious, “When I fought Xiao Ying just now, she said she would definitely go all out if she ran into you. Be careful. I’m going now…”
Ye Fei Fei glanced over to the other side, and at that moment, Xiao Ying from the Xiao clan also happened to look in her direction. Their eyes met, and there was an almost palpable spark of tension between them.
At that moment, Qing Yan also left the training ground and went to the viewing platform.
Seeing Qing Yan’s bruised face, Qing Shiyu asked with concern, “Little Qing Yan, are you alright?”
Qing Yan shook his head and looked at Ye Wu Shuang, worriedly saying, “Brother Ye, they really want to harm Fei Fei…”
Hearing this, Ye Wu Shuang’s expression remained calm.
“It’s true!” Seeing that Ye Wu Shuang didn’t react, Qing Yan insisted earnestly, “Xiao Ying told me when we fought that she would go all out if she encountered Fei Fei. And that Shang Han… he wants to kill Fei Fei.”
Ye Wu Shuang ruffled Qing Yan’s hair and smiled, “Don’t worry, I’m here.”
“Okay.”
Hearing this, Qing Shiyu couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. It seemed that today’s academy assessment was not going to be simple at all!
Next came the fourth round.
With sixteen participants, only eight could proceed.
“Number two, Ye Fei Fei, to platform number five!”
Now, only eight platforms remained in the entire training ground.
Ye Fei Fei walked towards platform number five, and on the opposite side, a graceful figure also stepped forward.
Xiao Ying from the Xiao clan.
At the viewing platform, Xiao Ruo Nan let out a soft sigh upon seeing this.
Liu Ying Yue, standing beside him, couldn’t help but ask, “Xiao Ying versus Ye Fei Fei—what did you tell her?”
Xiao Ruo Nan replied with a wry smile, “What else could I say?”
“Now, the little Ye clan is more than just a thorn in our side…”
“If we could really kill Ye Fei Fei, I’d like to see what Ye Wu Shuang would do today!”
Many eyes were now focused on the upcoming match between Ye Fei Fei and Xiao Ying…
