Chapter 112 – Qi Xiu (2/2)

It was apparent to anyone in the room that Liu Jian wanted to finish the fight as quickly as he could.

“What an idiot, he should have used a stance…” Chen Mo had been trying to keep quiet, but seeing that Liu Jian was underestimating his opponent, he couldn’t help but shake his head. ‘This Ye Wei was clearly hiding something! Ranking-wise I know you are the best student at South Star right now, but do you really expect it to last if you keep being this careless? If this kid doesn’t beat you here I will one day!’

The room was filled by a shrill sound that came from Liu Jian’s Qi, and the interior shook.

Ye Wei stood still and calmly watched the approaching silver punch. Liu Jian’s fist and the rest of his body froze in place when he was three inches away from landing his punch. He felt an unmovable resistance as if there was a thick invisible wall in front of Ye Wei.

“A Qi wall?!” Xu He’s eyes narrowed as he mumbled, ‘So he is at least a six-star Warrior; I guess he is qualified to compete at the group stage at least!’

“Oh wow! A six-star Warrior? I guess you don’t have to be in the cheerleading squad, but you are still not good enough to be one of our main fighters!” Liu Jian’s cold glare intensified as he channeled more of his Qi to his fist.

His knuckles shone brighter and brighter showcasing the body strength of a eight-star Warrior.

“Not bad, when it comes to Qi density you are not weaker than Polaris Academy’s Ning Yang, but I think he is a smarter fighter than you are… You should have met him. He was very polite just like you, you two would get along well.” Ye Wei was more interested in knowing more about his new teammate than beating him. ‘He is not strong but definitely not weak, okay how should I end this politely…’

Ye Wei stepped forward, and the moment his foot touched the ground the wall of Qi in front of him pushed towards Liu Jian like a tsunami wave.

Liu Jian felt like he was consumed by this wave of energy, and feeling the force of a tall slab of metal falling upon him, he quickly leaped backwards after he was hit to avoid the full impact. He took five steps back before he could steady his footing. he left potholes on the solid floor with each step he took.

Ye Wei never moved a muscle except taking that small step forward, whereas on the contrary Liu Jian was panting for air although he was the aggressor.

Xu He was startled. He didn’t think Liu Jian would lose, and certainly not in this manner. The vice-principal could vaguely guess that Ye Wei had already reached the ten-star Warrior level.

Chen Mo was also shocked. He had a feeling that Liu Jian would humiliate himself from the beginning but he didn’t expect Ye Wei could clinch the victory so clean and effortlessly.

Liu Jian was horrified and discouraged by the figure in front of him, and although he had not used a stance in this brief duel, he knew, without a doubt, that he did not stand a chance with or without using stances. He has always been confident and arrogant, but he was shaken by Ye Wei who he felt was even younger than himself. ‘Why have I not heard of this kid before…’

“Xu, are you satisfied?” Gu Qing smiled, and asked the shocked vice-principal in a playful tone.

“Yes, very much so!” Xu He gazed upon Ye Wei with a praising look. ‘He is so young too… If I can make him stay in South Star we can probably get ourselves in the top ten for years to come!’

But at the same time the vice-principal was slightly worried because if Ye Wei was really a registered South Star student then how could he not have notice such talent. He frowned as he considered the worst case scenario as the deadline for this school year’s enrolment was passing soon, and if he sent in the papers now, Ye Wei would not be registered in time to participate in the tournament.

“He is a registered student!” Gu Qing saw through Xu He’s mind. “His master locked him up for training purposes these past three years, we did not cancel his status.

“Oh that’s good to hear!” The vice-principal was relieved then felt shocked again. ‘Wait what… Could this be? He has to be Master Yi’s legacy apprentice! That would explain why I can’t feel his Qi either! Master Yi must have hidden it somehow…’ The vice-principal thought oblivious about Ye Wei’s Supernova stance.

“Was it you who drove the Polaris boys away?” Liu Jian was rash but not stupid. He looked at Ye Wei with respect upon realizing no one else could have been the valiant defender. In Liu Jian’s eyes power was everything, and although Ye Wei was younger he would treat the winner as a winner should be treated.

“Yes, it was me.” Ye Wei nodded. He could feel their approval. ‘This guy is wild, but I guess he is stupid in a nice way when he’s on my side.’

“Ha, they threatened us right? The Polaris Academy students, we will surely crush them with you on our team!” Liu Jian was feeling positive again.

‘He is very energetic too!’ Ye Wei realized his attempt to humble Liu Jian did not work and that this martial family descendant was a bit reckless.

Chen Mo placed his palm on his forehead feeling a bit embarrassed.

“Liu Jian, don’t underestimate them; they came third in the last tournament!” Vice-principal Xu frowned and said in a serious tone. “And I heard that Qi Xiu of Polaris Academy caused some troubles in Ning City a couple days ago.”

“Qi Xiu!?” Liu Jian and Chen Mo’s faces turned pale when they heard the name spoken. Although they did not have a lot of information on Polaris Academy’s ace, Qi Xiu had the reputation as the one of the strongest young cultivators in the region.

Ye Wei heard this name from Ning Yang and hearing his new teammates mentioned him as well caused his interest to grow immensely.
