Chapter 1035: Chapter 1035: Ten People
Though Fang Bai and Liu Qingqing both performed incredibly well two days ago in the Martial Academy disciple challenge, rising to Core Disciple and Inner Court Disciple respectively, their rankings on the combat power list were still not at the forefront. Sending them to the Sect conference in Purple Flame City could potentially lower the Bitao Martial Academy’s standings in the Martial Dao competition.
This was a common thought among many disciples of Bitao Martial Academy.
In past Sect conferences, Bitao Martial Academy typically ranked around tenth among the twenty eligible Sects, receiving limited cultivation resources, hence delaying many disciples’ cultivation progress.
For this Sect conference, the disciples of Bitao Martial Academy hoped that the attendees would achieve good results in order to secure more cultivation resources for the Academy.
However, when Dean Ren announced the list of ten participants, including Fang Bai and Liu Qingqing, many disciples felt disappointed, believing that neither the strength nor the experience of the two were sufficient for such a heavy responsibility.
If because of them, Bitao Martial Academy’s rank in the Sect conference were to fall instead of rise, then according to the conference rules, the cultivation resources allocated to their Academy would be even fewer.
None of the disciples of Bitao Martial Academy wanted to see that.
But, this list of ten was decided jointly by the entire leadership of the Academy, and would no longer be changed, despite some disciples feeling discontented.
"Everyone, please quiet down and let me say a few words..."
Dean Ren seemed to sense the dissatisfaction among some of the disciples below the stage, cleared his throat, and said loudly, "I know, the participation of Fang Bai and Liu Qingqing in the Sect conference surprised and unsettled you. But, you really don’t need to worry. Just yesterday evening, I specially arranged for Liu Qingqing to duel with Yang Lin, who ranks third on the Inner Court disciples’ combat power list. Yang Lin was defeated by Liu Qingqing within ten moves... Are you reassured now?"
As soon as Dean Ren finished speaking, thousands of disciples below the stage burst into a buzz of activity, with many showing incredulous expressions on their faces, turning their heads to look at Liu Qingqing.
Liu Qingqing, dressed in a green robe, stood prettily in the area designated for Inner Court disciples. She was clear-skinned and slender, appearing like a pristine Green Lotus.
Many Martial Academy disciples noticed that compared to the disciple challenge two days ago, Liu Qingqing’s expression lacked a few traces of tender charm and shyness, but gained more calm, composure, and confidence.
This version of Liu Qingqing further captivated the male disciples already paying attention to her.
"Sister’s expression, she’s clearly imitating Brother Fang!"
Liu Liehu, standing with a group of External Courtyard disciples, secretly chuckled to himself when he saw his sister Liu Qingqing’s expression and demeanor.
In fact, not just Liu Qingqing, Liu Liehu himself was deeply influenced by Fang Bai, so much so that many of his usual expressions and actions involuntarily mimicked Fang Bai.
However, Liu Liehu’s imitation of Fang Bai felt a bit like trying to draw a tiger but ending up with something resembling a dog, whereas a youthful and beautiful girl like Liu Qingqing learning it, had a unique charm.
Some Martial Academy disciples also looked at Yang Lin, noticing his head hung low, a face full of shame, which essentially confirmed the truth of Dean Ren’s words.
Currently on the Inner Court disciples’ combat power list, Tu Hu, who originally ranked first, had now advanced to Core Disciple, thereby making Huang Miao, who was second, the first; Liu Qingqing had defeated Yang Lin who was ranked immediately after Huang Miao, naturally earning her the second position.
Thus, it was only natural for Liu Qingqing to represent the Inner Court disciples in the battle.
"As for Fang Bai, his ability to defeat Qi Dongsheng, who ranks tenth on the Core Disciples’ combat power list in one move, sufficiently proves his extraordinary strength. Based on my judgment and experience, Fang Bai’s strength is certainly among the top three rankers of the Core Disciples’ combat power list!"
Dean Ren continued, his gaze sweeping over the top three rankers on the Core Disciple combat power list—Long Xing, Yun Yan, and Zheng Lingtian—before momentarily pausing on Zheng Lingtian.
Zheng Lingtian, upon noticing Dean Ren looking at him, twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, his face turning extremely pale, mixed with shades of depression and discontent.
Had it not been for Fang Bai, Zheng Lingtian would have been the sole candidate from Bitao Martial Academy to attend the Sect Assembly in Purple Flame City. However, after deliberations by the Martial Academy’s leadership yesterday, they shockingly chose Fang Bai as his replacement, leaving him no choice but to obediently stay at the academy.
Though Zheng Lingtian felt dissatisfied, he dared not openly show it, being merely a Core Disciple. How could he defy the decision made by the Martial Academy’s leadership?
Moreover, Zheng Lingtian had the awareness that Fang Bai managed to defeat Qi Dongsheng with a single move, whereas he himself had neither the confidence nor the certainty. Thus, he couldn’t help but acknowledge and accept Fang Bai’s replacement.
Ren Jingbo’s words served like an injection of adrenaline to the thousands of disciples present, bringing smiles and radiance back to the faces of many who were initially very disappointed.
"Senior Brother Fang, I believe in you!"
"Junior Sister Liu, push on!"
"Sweep through the disciples of all Sects and bring honor to our Martial Academy!"
"Look forward to your triumphant return!"
...
Thousands of Martial Academy disciples chatted and cheered for both Fang Bai and Liu Qingqing.
Representing the Inner Court disciples were three people, namely Huang Miao, Liu Qingqing, and Yang Lin.
Representing the Core Disciples were three individuals, namely Long Xing, Yun Yan, and Fang Bai.
Representing the Personal Transmission Disciples were three individuals, namely Shen Yulin, Yang Gang, and Hua Hua.
Plus one Elder leading the team, Elder Ge.
At this point, the ten-member quota to attend the Sect Assembly in Purple Flame City had been finalized and became familiar among the Martial Academy’s disciples.
In the eyes of Bitao Martial Academy’s disciples, this lineup was undoubtedly strong, but this "strength" was minimal compared to those top-ranking Sects, hardly worth mentioning.
"Elder Ge and the ten members will soon depart for Purple Flame City to participate in the once-every-five-years Sect Assembly... Come, let us together wish Elder Ge and his team smooth sailing and great success!"
"Smooth sailing and great success!"
Thousands of Bitao Martial Academy disciples shouted in unison, their voices creating a buzzing sound in everyone’s ears.
"Let’s go... let’s go... Once you leave, never think of coming back... Haha, no matter how good your talent or how high your aptitude, it’s all in vain if you die halfway... Fang Bai, Fang Bai, thinking of competing with me? You’re not even qualified!"
Lei Li squinted his eyes, watching as Elder Ge led Fang Bai and the others depart amidst the focus of the crowd, gradually moving farther away, his lips curling into a sinister smile, a hint of murderous intention emanating from him.
Zhuang Zhi was also smiling, his smile equally malicious.
Fang Bai kept an eye on the movements of Lei Li and Zhuang Zhi.
As he followed Elder Ge and the others departing from the square, Fang Bai’s Divine Sense extended, covering a radius of two thousand meters. Thus, although he did not turn his head back, he could still "see" the sinister-smiling faces of Lei Li and Zhuang Zhi.
