Chapter 117 – First Opponent (2/2)

‘Root Prison!’ As Qi Xiu felt a strong suction on his feet, Ye Wei’s fist was already in front of his body.

“Impressive speed!” Qi Xiu narrowed his eye and clenched his right hand into a fist then threw it towards Ye Wei.

The blazing palm Qi was put out by the force wave given off from the clash of fists.

Qi Xiu took five steps back, and Ye Wei took three. The ‘Qi-less’ cultivator seemed to have an advantage.

Both groups of cultivators were deeply shocked by the level of cultivation they just witnessed. Qi Xiu’s Incineration Palm was impressive, but how Ye Wei deflected it and delivered a counterpunch to threaten Qi Xiu was also astonishing.

Furthermore, they were aware that those two were only testing the waters with their toes and that the real fight would be on a completely different scale.

Liu Jian was left in awe as he clenched his fist tight. As for Ning Yang and other Polaris cultivators, their jaws dropped so much that eggs could fit in their mouths. They did not think anyone would be able to have an advantage over Qi Xiu’s Myst stance.

“I must admit that you are strong, and South Star Academy has actually surprised me this year, but there is no way you can beat me!” The seriousness on Qi Xiu’s face grew, and his Qi intensified. He fired up his Incineration Palm again and this time around the Qi flames were burning even hotter.

“How would you know before I actually beat you?” There was no fear in Ye Wei’s eyes as his competitive spirit grew. He stepped forward again, getting ready to counter whatever Qi Xiu had in store for him!

Just before Ye Wei could react, a pressuring presence descended from the sky.

“Who dare make trouble in South Star territory!?” A thundering voice boomed in everyone’s ears as a force field as heavy as a mountain reached the ground.

“Swoosh!”

Qi Xiu’s blazing Qi immediately dispersed disappeared under the immense pressure.

“Hmm, Polaris Academy students are getting increasingly confident about themselves!” Xu He’s voice froze everyone’s blood as his hysterical eyes fell on Qi Xiu and the other intruders. They stepped backwards outside Xu He’s reach. To the vice-principal, an eight-star condensed prime Warrior could easily crush every single one of the Polaris cultivators like an ant with no exceptions.

Nobody expected the vice-principal to arrive out of the blue, and Qi Xiu’s face turned dark as he gazed at Ye Wei. “We will continue where we left off today in the tournament! Then we will find out who of us is stronger!”

“Anytime.” Ye Wei said calmly. He knew their fight was unavoidable, and he looked forward to seeing Qi Xiu showing all he was capable of.

“Goodbye!” Qi Xiu grunted and led his schoolmates out.

“Get out of here! Your vice-principal will hear about this!” Xu He flicked his sleeve and sent a Qi wave that threw them out of the guest palace’s gate.

“Run!”

Qi Xiu then led the Polaris Academy’s students back to their palace.

Xu He had great self-control, and although he could have beaten all the intruders with a flick of his finger, he knew what the consequences would be and how others would misunderstand his intentions.

“All of you gather up!”

Vice-principal led all fourteen South Star cultivators into the sitting area.

“I’ve received the fight schedules and learned who your opponents will be, and Polaris Academy is going to be out first opponent!” Xu He said as he opened the scroll in his head and announced in a concerned tone.

“The first match-up is a grudge match? Interesting!” Liu Jian was ready for war after having been taunted by Polaris Academy twice in a few days. All the South Star cultivators were dying to vent their anger.

‘That Qi Xiu though…’ Some of the cultivators were less optimistic after seeing Polaris Academy’s ace display just a small portion of what he was capable of.

“Qi Xiu is all yours.” Xu He looked at Ye Wei.

“Yea.” Ye Wei nodded calmly.
