C449 The Atmosphere Was Strange

The autumn night seemed to be especially long, but the minds of the Outer Palace disciples were quite active. Everyone was looking forward to the evening passing so that they could prepare for the next day's disciple competition.

The next day.

The morning sun had just lit up the earth, but the Qian Yuan Academy's Outer Palace's Trial Arena was already filled with disciples.

Some of these people had won the second round yesterday, and others wanted to continue watching the game after they'd lost.

The two lords and the five hall elders had not arrived yet, so the place was noisy and could be heard clearly. Many people were discussing some powerful figures, and even comparing them with each other. It seemed that if the person they supported was powerful, they would be more powerful than the person they discussed with.

"Duanqianyue is the leader's disciple. I heard that he has already condensed three flowers. He is the champion of this year's disciple competition." One of the older students was bragging about Duanqianyue to the surrounding people. When he mentioned this name, a trace of pride appeared on his face, as if he was talking about himself. It was obvious that he was someone who supported Duanqianyue.

The older students of the Outer Palace naturally knew of Duanqianyue's strength. Everyone knew that he was a young expert, but not all of them believed that Duanqianyue would be able to become the champion of the disciple competition.

For example, on the other side of the crowd, when the people from the Yuan Alliance heard the man bragging about how powerful Duanqianyue was, a trace of disdain flashed across their eyes.

"Humph, do you really think that he is the only leading disciple in our Outer Palace? The champion of the disciple competition is not his. Furthermore, what does it matter to you how powerful Duanqianyue is? To think that you are praising him so highly. Those who don't know better will think that you're talking about yourself." One of the disciples from the Yuan Alliance snorted and mocked. As he spoke, his eyes also looked towards the person just now.

The words of the Yuan Alliance disciple were also heard by the surrounding people. Although the surrounding people were surprised by his words, but because of him and the surrounding group of people from the Yuan Alliance, no one dared to say anything. After all, the influence of the Yuan Alliance was too great among the older students.

The senior student who was bragging about Duanqianyue on the other side could also feel the ridicule from the Yuan Alliance disciple when he heard his words. His face instantly changed.

He looked over angrily and was about to flare up, but when he saw that the person who mocked him was from the Yuan Alliance, his expression froze and he swallowed back what he was about to say.

Although he was an older student of the Outer Palace, he did not dare to offend anyone from the Yuan Alliance.

Furthermore, his praise for Duanqianyue just now was too exaggerated. Although Duanqianyue was the disciple of the leader, he was not the only one. His strength was indeed tyrannical, but there were still some people in the Outer Palace who could oppose him, and this person was the master of the Yuan Alliance, Xu Daolin.

The older man stepped back a little sourly. He was just an ordinary disciple, and he wouldn't have had the nerve to argue with anyone.

When the people from the Yuan Alliance saw that this person was no longer speaking, they also withdrew their attention from him. To them, that older student was nothing more than a clown, and at most, he could only shout.

For a moment, because of the voices of the Yuan Alliance's disciples, many of the disciples below the arena became silent. No one dared to talk about who had a chance of becoming the champion in the disciple competition, and the influence of the Yuan Alliance in the Outer Palace was immediately revealed.

At this moment, Lee Zhuohua was walking toward the Trial Arena with Lin Qi and the others.

Although they hadn't arrived yet, they could still feel the strange atmosphere in the Trial Arena.

"Hmm?" Lee Zhuohua looked over at the Trial Arena. He did not see any familiar figures among the older students or the two leading disciples among the crowd.

However, he could clearly feel that the atmosphere in the crowd seemed to be a little oppressive. He didn't know what was going on.

"It seems like there is something interesting. Let's go and take a look." Lee Zhuohua greeted Lin Qi and the other disciples of the Lake Gate and walked towards the Trial Arena.

The people from the Lake Gate, under Lee Zhuohua's lead, had arrived. Because they had a large number of people, when they arrived, a lot of people made way for them.

On the other side, the people from the Yuan Alliance had also seen the arrival of the Lake Gate. The Yuan Alliance and the Lake Gate represented the direct conflict between the older and new students. Naturally, when they saw Lee Zhuohua and the others, they would not have a good expression.

The person who spoke up just now snorted coldly when he saw Lee Zhuohua bringing a large group of people into this place.

"A group of new students who think that they are all new to you, not putting senior in their eyes at all. They might still be able to live freely for a period of time. After a few days, their fates will definitely be miserable." The disciple said in a somewhat cold tone, but he did not lower his voice, so not only did the people from the Yuan Alliance hear his sarcastic words.

When the disciples of the Lake Gate heard his undisguised ridicule, the disciples of the Lake Gate all looked over with cold eyes.

However, the actions of the disciples of the Lake Gate had also caused the disciples of the Yuan Alliance to react. The people of the Yuan Alliance also took a step forward and confronted the people of the Lake Gate together.

The atmosphere suddenly became sharp. It was supposed to be a competition between the disciples, but now it was like a battlefield for the new and the older students, making the disciples standing on either side feel a chill. They didn't know whether it was because the temperature was too low in autumn or because the eyes of the two sides were too cold.

Lee Zhuohua, who was surrounded by the disciples of the Lake Gate, sneered in his heart when he saw the scene in front of him. Although there was not the slightest change in his expression, he sneered in his heart.

"Looks like these people have long treated the Lake Gate as their opponent." Lee Zhuohua thought to himself. After that, he walked around the disciples of the Lake Gate who were standing in front of him and walked to the front of the confrontation between the two parties.

As soon as he reached the front of the Lake Gate disciples, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The people of the Yuan Alliance naturally knew that Lee Zhuohua was the master of the Lake Gate, and was also the person who was spouting nonsense in the Transportation Hall. However, there were still a lot of senior students around who did not know Lee Zhuohua's identity, and they were asking each other.

"Who is that person and why do the people of Yuan Alliance seem to look at him when he stands out?"

"That's right. It's as if the people from the Lake Gate are all obeying him."

"He is the current master of the Lake Gate, the new student who was extremely arrogant in the Transportation Hall."

These senior students who knew Lee Zhuohua's origin explained Lee Zhuohua's origin to those who did not know.

When those people heard that Lee Zhuohua was the master of the Lake Gate, their faces revealed a surprised expression. It was obvious that they did not expect that the leader of the new students would be the person in front of them.

But when they heard about what had happened to Lee Zhuohua in the Transportation Hall, the expressions on their faces were different. Some of them were solemn, some were angry, and some were surprised.

But no matter what kind of eyes these older students had for Lee Zhuohua, it could not be changed. The current Lee Zhuohua was no longer just a new student. He was now the master of the Lake Gate, the leader of the new forces in the Outer Palace, and also the leader of the opposing forces of the Yuan Alliance.

Such an identity was enough to be looked up to by the older students who had no power behind them.
