"Let the match begin."
The moment the words were spoken, Zuo Xinlan jumped up. For some unknown reason, she didn’t jump toward Cui Chang’an. Instead, she jumped off the stage.
Cui Chang’an blinked. "How do we count this? She jumped off by herself."
The host, A Guang, didn’t know how to comment. she felt a natural fear of Cui Chang’an’s luck. she could only say, "Since she went off the stage herself, it means Divine Emperor Academy lost. You win this round. Congratulations, you have won three matches."
Cui Chang’an looked happy. Zuo Xinlan was not. "I don’t accept this."
"Enough, Junior Sister Xinlan. Come here." Qiao Wenjian was also unhappy.
she told her not to compete, but she insisted. She didn’t fight well. She didn’t attack the opponent. She just jumped off. Now she complains. It doesn’t matter how many times she says she doesn’t accept it. The rules are clear.
She lost. It was just the start. Losing one spot was acceptable. There were still nineteen spots left. He could win face back later. Besides, Cui Chang’an’s luck couldn’t last forever.
Qiao Wenjian thought this.
She never expected Cui Chang’an’s luck to be truly incredible. Cui Chang’an didn’t need to move much. Every opponent who came up made mistakes. They either went the wrong way or attacked the wrong person. The one who attacked the wrong person was funny. She was from Yuanwu Academy.
That opponent took a big sword and chopped directly at the host, A Guang. A Guang had to defend himself. He hit the man off the stage. This wasn’t A Guang’s fault. He was just the host. The opponent didn’t know who to fight.
Everyone felt Cui Chang’an’s luck was too good. Cui Chang’an became the first to secure one of the twenty spots. Most importantly, he barely fought at all.
After coming down, Cui Chang’an said only one thing: "These ten matches were too easy."
They really were too easy. Except for students from Sage Academy, no one knew Cui Chang’an used medicine given by Zhu Yanyi.
The two who fell asleep were drugged. Zuo Xinlan’s stumble and jump were also controlled by medicine. It was a drug that made her lose strength for a few seconds, causing her to lose balance and fall. Except for Cui Chang’an, even Zuo Xinlan didn’t know it was due to Chinese medicine.
Even the opponent who attacked A Guang was affected by an illusion drug. He thought A Guang was his opponent.
It had to be said. Students from Sage Academy were masters of using medicine. No one else saw how Cui Chang’an used it.
Since others couldn’t see his methods, and Cui Chang’an barely moved while opponents failed in strange ways, they could only say his luck was good.
"It’s good. Let’s watch what happens next." Zhu Yanyi liked the upcoming show.
Next, Host A Guang would draw two schools. One was Divine Emperor Academy. Qiao Wenjian wanted to save face, so he fought personally. The other was Jingmei Girls’ School.
"They say Jingmei Girls’ School students are tough girls. Why don’t they look like it? They look like dangerous beauties." Zhu Yanyi asked the Medical Elder softly.
"I don’t know. We haven’t joined these small competitions for years. Who knew their style changed? In our memory, Jingmei Girls’ School was always for tough girls." The Medical Elder coughed and stopped talking.
Zhu Yanyi raised an eyebrow. She understood. Then she said, "It seems Jingmei Girls’ School has secrets too."
Secrets from Zhu Yanyi’s mouth were never good. So, Zhu Yanyi and other Sage Academy members felt Jingmei Girls’ School might have problems.
"No way. The Shangmo Plane issues are still here. Now Jingmei Girls’ School has problems too. It’s terrifying." Niu Wulang looked shocked.
"Who knows?" Cui Changjiu answered helplessly.
Everyone looked at each other. The road ahead seemed long and unclear.
The first day’s competition wasn’t hard for Sage Academy. Except for Cui Chang’an, only Qiao Wenjian did well. He passed nine matches at once. The last one was against Yi Yunfei. Yi Yunfei fought seriously. Qiao Wenjian lost.
Normally, Yi Yunfei would stay on stage. But time was up. The morning matches ended. Yi Yunfei’s match moved to the afternoon.
Anyway, Sage Academy became famous. But it was for Cui Chang’an’s good luck, not strength.
Since it was luck, other schools didn’t envy Sage Academy. You can’t do anything about luck. They could only sigh why their luck was bad.
Lunch was still buffet. It wasn’t as rich as yesterday’s banquet, but it was good.
Zhu Yanyi brought some food. She ate and said, "Don’t cultivators avoid eating? Why is there still meal time?"
"Look. Which other academy is here eating except ours?" The Medical Elder laughed.
Zhu Yanyi looked around. Really, only Sage Academy was there. The other four academies weren’t.
"Our academy follows our hearts. Eating and playing is normal. Other schools are strict. Those who can avoid eating won’t come out. They think eating is irresponsible." Yi Yunfei sat down with food and answered.
"They don’t enjoy life." Jian Feiyan sighed. "If cultivators are like that, being a cultivator is boring."
"Then what does Second Senior Sister think makes being a cultivator interesting? Must you eat every day to be a cultivator?" Yang Ruochen asked curiously.
