Chapter 224: No Excuses (1/2)

”Very well. Follow me.”

Since Lai Yun and Xiao Fang were preparing to fight, Su Lingxi made the other disciples move all of the tools and practice dummies off to the side. Once they were done, Su Lingxi told them all to wait in the classroom.

”Aww, can we watch, please~. We almost never get to see fights like these,” the disciples begged.

”Elder Su, I wouldn't mind it if they stayed. Although, I would understand if Long Wang would prefer to not be embarrassed in front of so many people,” Lai Yun mocked.

It was obvious what Lai Yun was trying to do, but Su Lingxi was still worried that Xiao Fang would fall for it.

”Let them stay. I also have no problem if they watched our fight,” Xiao Fang said.

Su Lingxi sighed.

”Alright, all of you can stay, but if anyone interferes in their fight, they will be punished severely.”

”Thank you, Teacher!” the girls said happily.

Bai Fan was worried about Xiao Fang, not because she was scared that he'd get hurt, but more so that he'd get humiliated by Lai Fan.

Zhao Pan was also there too, but unlike Bai Fan, she didn't really care about Xiao Fang's wellbeing. To her, this fight was simply an opportunity for her to see what he was capable of. Since she was still planned to force herself onto him someday, she wanted to know what his strengths and weaknesses were.

Xiao Fang and Lai Yun stood about 50 meters apart from each other. Xiao Fang seemed relatively calm, but Lai Yun seemed to be struggling to contain her excitement. She believed if she could beat Xiao Fang in front of everyone, Chen Li might look upon her more favorably and invite her into the White Jade guild.

The disciples watching were talking amongst themselves as they waited for the fight to begin, but the moment they saw Su Lingxi holding up a black feather, they immediately quieted down.

”The fight will begin the moment this feather touches the ground. Do you understand?” Su Lingxi said.

Xiao Fang and Lai Yun both nodded.

Su Lingxi placed the feather onto her palm, then gave it a light blow. The feather flew off of her hand, and floated towards Xiao Fang and Lai Yun.

The room was completely silent as they watched the feather slowly descend. It was probably the quietest it had ever been since they walked into the room.

When the feather was only a few inches off the ground, Lai Yun smirked and clenched her fists in anticipation. The moment the feather touched the ground, the crowd erupted with cheers.

...

”Lai Yun! Lai Yun! Lai Yun!”

”Lai Yun, make him eat dirt!”

”Get him, Lai Yun! No mercy!”

...

'These girls must really hate my guts...' Xiao Fang thought with a bitter smile.

Just as he finished that thought, he noticed Lai Yun coming at him with a fierce kick, but he easily dodged it with a simple turn.

Boom!

The ground shook violently from the force of her attack.
