C196 Challenge Ding Qing

However, one of the disciples couldn’t avoid it and was knocked off the stage. The disciples on the stage lost one more person. Adding Lei Lie, there were only three people left.

The other two disciples looked at each other and attacked Lei Lie together. One was a swordsman and the other was an assassin. Both of them were extremely fast and appeared in front of Lei Lie in a flash.

Yang Shaofeng and Nan Shenyuan’s hearts were hanging in their throats. They stared at the stage without blinking. Ye Qian was smiling, but he wasn’t as nervous as the two of them.

The assassin used Shadow Clone Technique and Striking Shadow at the same time. The swordsman used Sword Rain and Meteor Step. Both of them appeared in front of Lei Lie at the same time. Lei Lie looked at the five shadows of the assassin and the swordsman. His expression didn’t change at all.

He raised the magic staff high up in the air. Lightning flashed on the staff and gathered on his body. In the blink of an eye, his body was covered with lightning. The lightning passed through his feet and spread out.

“Argh…”

Two miserable screams sounded. Everyone saw the assassin’s shadow disappear in an instant. Only his body was left. He fell beside Lei Lie’s feet with the swordsman. Lightning was running all over his body. From the tip of his feet to his hair, the silver lightning crackled. The hair of the disciples below the stage stood on end.

All the intermediate disciples who knew Lei Lie were shocked by what kind of fortuitous encounter he had. He was only at the fifth level of the Common Mysterious Realm half a month ago. He was average among the intermediate disciples and wasn’t very strong. How could he be so strong that he could fight two people at the same time?

Besides, those two opponents were one level higher than him. Wasn’t he a bit too scary?

The winner of this battle was Lei Lie. The next round was the preliminary round. Lei Lie won again, and he won the first place in the final round. Lei Lie won the first place as a dark horse, which shocked all the disciples.

They doubted that Lei Lie was possessed by the War God. Otherwise, it would be fine for him to improve three levels in half a month, but he was able to beat all the other disciples who were at the ninth level of the Mystic Realm. It was unbelievable.

“Oh, oh, oh! Brother Lei won the first place! I am so shocked!”

Nan Zhifei was jumping up and down in excitement. Ever since he came back from the East Desolate Forest, he had become very close to Lei Lie. Now that Lei Lie won the first place, he was even more excited than himself.

Yang Shaofeng nodded and sighed, “Yes, Brother Lei is so powerful. I believe that he will become famous among the disciples of the Middle Class.”

Feng Yu looked at the stage and walked to Ye Qian and said, “Brother Ye, the battle has ended. Elder Li will announce the rank soon. You…”

She leaned close to Ye Qian and whispered something in a low voice that only the two of them could hear. Ye Qian listened carefully and nodded occasionally with a faint smile on his face.

“What do you think, Brother Ye? Do you understand?”

Ye Qian nodded and said, “Don’t worry, Sister Yun. I know what to do.”

“Okay, then you can start.”

Feng Yu held Ye Qian’s wrist and quickly took it back. Ye Qian nodded at her.

On the stage, Elder Li stood on the stage and said to the disciples below, “Now…”

“Wait…”

A light voice sounded. It wasn’t loud, but it was enough to interrupt Elder Li. All the disciples turned around and saw Ye Qian walking up the stairs.

“Feng Yu, what did you say to Brother Ye?”

Nan Deshen walked to Feng Yu and asked in a low voice. Yang Shaofeng’s ears immediately stood up and he was eavesdropping.

Feng Yu smiled gently at him and said, “I won’t tell you.”

Nan Deshen humphed unhappily and said, “It’s fine if you don’t tell me.” Then, he smiled wickedly and said to Feng Yu, “Feng Yu, I saw you secretly touch Brother Ye’s hand. What? You like Brother Ye, right?”

Feng Yu rolled her eyes and didn’t want to talk to him.

On the stage, Elder Li was a bit unhappy that he was interrupted. He turned around and looked at Ye Qian who had walked up the stage. He said, “Disciple, why did you interrupt me?”

Ye Qian smiled at him and said, “Elder Li, before you announce the rankings of the intermediate disciples, I have a request. I wonder if you can accept it?”

Elder Li raised his eyebrows and stroked his beard. He said, “Speak. What is your request?”

Ye Qian looked at the second ranked intermediate disciple. He was called Ding Qing. He said, “I want to challenge Senior Brother Ding.”

The disciples below the stage started to boil with excitement. Even Ding Qing couldn’t help but frown. They were both intermediate disciples, so he knew Ye Qian. Ye Qian was only at the sixth level of the Common Mysterious Realm. How could he have the courage to challenge him?

“Feng Feiyu, is Senior Brother Ye crazy? He’s only at the sixth level. He wants to challenge Senior Brother Ding. What kind of bewitching medicine did you give him? How could he be so obsessed with Senior Brother Ding?”

Below the stage, Nan Bifei almost jumped. He looked at Feng Feiyu and roared, “Do you think he can defeat Senior Brother Ding just because he has the courage? I wonder how much stronger Senior Brother Ding is than Senior Brother Ye. Do you want him to humiliate himself?”

Feng Feiyu glanced at him and said, “I never do things that I don’t have confidence in. Nan Bifei, the answer will be revealed soon. Why are you in such a hurry?”

“Okay, let’s see what you can do,” Nan Zhenduan said angrily. He turned his eyes away and looked at the stage again.

Everyone looked at Ye Qian, but he seemed to be unaware of it. He had a faint smile on his face, and he was calm and composed. Feng Yu admired his calmness the most.

Elder Li’s muddy eyes flashed. He looked at Ye Qian and said, “Why did you challenge Ding Qing?”

Everyone’s ears stood up. They waited quietly for Ye Qian’s answer. Ye Qian still had a faint smile on his face. He said, “Because I want to be second, so I hope that Elder Li can help me.”

Elder Li stroked his beard and said, “But in the history of our Hao Yuan Academy, there has never been a situation where a disciple was announced to be in the top ten. There has never been a situation where someone came up to challenge him.”

Ye Qian nodded and said, “Elder Li is right. This has never happened before. However, the rules of the competition do not state clearly that one cannot challenge someone. So, I think that as long as Senior Brother Ding is willing to accept my challenge, then it will be fine. What do you think, Elder Li?”

Elder Li laughed and said, “You are so logical. It seems that I cannot reject you directly. However, I do not have the right to accept you directly. How about this? You can ask Dean Xiao directly. If the Dean agrees and Ding Qing is willing to accept your challenge, then I will not say anything. What do you think?”

“Thank you, Elder Li.”

Ye Qian bowed to Elder Li and then looked at Director Xiao. Long Zixuan didn’t come today, so he just asked for the approval of Director Xiao, “Director Xiao, what do you think about my request?”

Director Xiao looked at Ye Qian and nodded, “I think you are right. Although this has never happened before, it doesn’t mean that we should be stuck in the same place forever. It is not impossible to make a change. So, as long as Ding Qing accepts your challenge, I will accept it.”

Feng Yue was relieved. She didn’t expect that Elder Li and Director Xiao would agree so easily. She thought that if the two elders didn’t agree, she would ask her master to pressure them. But since they agreed, she didn’t need to do anything.

Ye Qian bowed to Director Xiao and said respectfully, “Thank you, Director Xiao.” Then he looked at Ding Qing, who was not happy, and ignored the viciousness in his eyes. He said indifferently, “Brother Ding, I am now at the sixth level of the Common Mysterious Realm. I want to challenge you. Do you accept?”

After he said this, the elders on the stage all looked at him with admiration. The disciples on the stage all felt sorry for him.

He was a disciple at the sixth level of the Common Mysteriousness Realm, but he challenged a disciple at the peak of the Common Mysterious Realm. Wasn’t this asking for humiliation? They were waiting for him to be tortured until he couldn’t find a way home.

A disciple of the sixth step dared to challenge him. One could imagine how terrible Ding Qing’s mood was. However, he couldn’t refuse it. No matter if it was because of troubles or disdain, the other disciples all thought that he didn’t dare to accept it.

If he didn’t dare to accept the challenge of a disciple of the sixth step, how weak was he?

A fierce light flashed in Ding Qing’s eyes. He looked at Ye Qian with a vicious expression and said, “Fine, Junior Brother Ye. I accept your challenge. But what if you lose?”

Ye Qian smiled and looked at him. He said, “What does Senior Brother Ding want?”

Ding Qing’s lips curled into a cold smile. He said wickedly, “If Junior Brother Ye loses, you can crawl into my crotch. What do you think?”

The smile on Ye Qian’s face froze. He looked at the audience below the stage and Feng Yu. There was a trace of confusion in his eyes. Feng Yu naturally knew the worry in his heart.

He was a disciple of the sixth step of the Common Mysterious Realm. Although he was only average in the Hao Yuan Academy, he was still a strong man that everyone respected outside. He had the dignity of a strong man. How could he endure to crawl into someone else’s crotch? Therefore, he couldn’t accept any risk.

Feng Yu nodded at him. She was two hundred percent sure that he would win.

“What? Junior Brother Ye doesn’t dare to accept it?”

Ding Qing’s wicked voice sounded in his ears. Ye Qian looked at him and pursed his lips. He nodded with an indifferent expression and said, “Fine. Senior Brother Ding, I will accept it.”

He closed his eyes and touched his wrist in his sleeve. He said, “If I lose, I will crawl into your crotch.”

After he finished talking, all the disciples below the stage went crazy. What kind of stimulation did this kid receive? He actually agreed to such a condition? How unreasonable was he?

Even Principal Xiao and the elders looked at Ye Qian in surprise. If this kid didn’t have a trump card, he was really too unreasonable.

However, Ye Qian’s words were clear. He didn’t seem to be a fool or unreasonable. That meant that he had a trump card.
