C21 Let's Go out and Fight

"What business does Yang Feng have with Ye Chen this time?" Liu Qianqian asked.

Shi Lei gathered up his courage and said coldly: "This time, Brother Yang Feng hired his cousin, Wu Yun, to fight Ye Chen at the school courtyard.

"Will Ye Chen accept that challenge, I wonder?" Shi Lei stared at Ye Chen and continued speaking in a provacative tone.

Instead of falling for his taunts, Ye Chen blew on his fingernails and continued to mindlessly cut them, not paying much atttention to Shi Lei's nonsensical words.

For a moment, Shi Lei did not know how to respond in this situation. To continue provoking him or to leave when he still had the chance to?

Other than the Fighting Stadium, students were not allowed to have a full-fledged battle in other parts of Anyue Academy. However, the longer Shi Lei continued to stay in the classroom, the more he felt Ye Chen's intense aura hinting at his impatience towards him.

Cold sweat drizzled from the top of his head down his cheeks as the clock on the wall ticked and tocked.

Silence filled the air, and the mood of the room became strangely intense.

Standing petrified in the middle of a student-filled room, Shi Lei seemed to only hear the sound of the nail clipper in Ye Chen's hand. Upon each click, his pulse would pound heavily upon the temples of his head as the intense atmosphere engulfed his very being. He could not stand this loud silence any longer as his fingers began drumming relentlessly on his thighs like hail on a glass pane, each tap echoing the tumultuous thumping of his heartbeat. His facial expression, rigid with tension, belied his youthfulness. Upon the final click-

Ye Chen carefully placed down the nail clipper in his hands onto the desk and proceeded to stare indifferently at Shi Lei, who seemed to have aged a few decades over the last few seconds.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

Chills were sent down Shi Lei's spine upon hearing Ye Chen's words.

Luckily, Ye Chen did not have any intentions to beat him up, but instead sauntered out the classroom to where he was told to meet Yang Feng and his cousin.

Liu Qianqian and the other students also began following his trail.

When everyone left the room, Shi Lei let out a long sigh of relief as his limp knees collapsed onto the floor. Alas, he understood the reason why Bai Jun hesitated to come.

"..."

Upon his arrival at the school courtyard, Ye Chen and the students following him saw Yang Feng's group a few dozen meters away.

The students who were currently minding their own businesses and cultivating began casting their gazes over to the situation at hand.

As tension began to fill the air yet again, Ye Chen's group halted ten steps away from Yang Feng's group.

When the students in the area saw this scene before them, their blood naturally began to boil. Were they preparing to bttle it out as a group?

"Cousin, he is Ye Chen!" Yang Feng said to his cousin Wu Yun.

Wu Yun began analyzing Ye Chen from head to toe before letting out a mocking smile on his face.

"So, you're the arrogant kid?" Wu Yun said disdainfully to Ye Chen.

"Name: Wu Yun."

"Cultivation Talent: Advanced."

"Attribute Talent: Inferior Strength."

"Rank: True Reserve Martial Cultivator."

Wu Yun is a student of White Cloud Intermediate Cultivation Academy, an intermediate-level academy capable of helping their students awake their Attribute Talents. As previously stated, Cultivation Talent is something a person has to be born with while Attribute Talent could be awakened at various times during a person's lifetime depending on their cultivation.

Although Wu Yun just possessed Inferior Strength, it should nevertheless not be looked down on. While True Reserve Martial Cultivators are said to be on par with each other, the main factor that separates each one's skill depends on that of their Attribute Talents.

"Ye Chen, weren't you extremely arrogant during the field trial in Transit Forest? Now that my cousin is here with me, I dare you to continue to be arrogant!"

Yang Feng's face was filled with pride. Since he was unable to ask the elders of his family to take action, mainly due to the fact how Liu Qianqian's family would not stand idle, Yang Feng could only rely on the strength of his cousin, Wu Yun.

Yang Feng's subordinates also started to feel confident and proud of themselves as they scorned at Ye Chen in disgust.

Liu Qianqian's face fumed with unbearable rage. Just as she was going to respond back, Ye Chen opened his mouth before she could.

Ye Chen looked at Wu Yun and said:

"You're here for a fight, right? Then let's stop standing around and get to it..."

Wu Yun was stunned as he did not expect that Ye Chen had the guts to say such words.

"Are you sure you want to fight me? I'll even give you the chance to kneel and beg for forgiveness now..." Wu Yun scoffed at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen smiled, "You think your presence is worthy enough to make me, Ye Chen, kneel and beg for mercy?"

*Gasp*

Yang Feng and his subordinates were dumbfounded. Never in their right mind would they expect Ye Chen to be so arrogant even when facing Wu Yun, a True Reserve Martial Cultivator.

"Good!" Then let's go out and fight! " Wu Yun declared.

With that, everyone surrounding them in the area followed them out towards the stage of their battle. Of course, no one would let such a rare opportunity to witness this good of a show go before their eyes.
