"Ten years from now, if you wish to seek revenge, I must say, I doubt you have the ability. But I will wait for you."
She was already no match for her now. Letting her pass ten years without improving her cultivation? In ten years, she might not even keep her position as the eldest senior sister. What revenge could she possibly take?
Yet, no one would say Zhu Yanyi was wrong. Instead, they pondered the meaning behind her actions. After all, this was a world where the strong ruled and the weak were trampled. If you were strong, people would support you; if you were weak, people would step on you. That was reality.
Those who thought deeply understood that Zhu Yanyi’s choice was the best one.
Xie Qinxin was clearly very proud. Such a person could never truly become Jian Feiyan’s servant. Moreover, if she went to the Saint Academy, she might cause trouble. Most importantly, Xie Qinxin was currently the eldest senior sister of Jingmei Girls’ School. If the Saint Academy punished her and made her a servant, it would mean confronting Jingmei Girls’ School.
Although Zhu Yanyi did not care about Jingmei Girls’ School, she did not want to offend anyone at this moment. It was better not to make things too obvious.
Zhu Yanyi understood. The Medical Elder and the Martial Elder exchanged glances and also understood. They had been wondering how to handle Xie Qinxin if she truly lost. Zhu Yanyi’s handling of the situation was the best possible outcome.
Most importantly, Zhu Yanyi’s move stunned the people from other academies present. Who would have thought that a new student would have such cultivation? What kind of person was she?
Zhu Yanyi did not care what others thought. She only said to the host, A Guang, beside her, "Can you announce the result now?"
"Certainly." Host A Guang was confused in his heart. What wind had blown through the Saint Academy this year, producing so many experts? "This round, the Saint Academy wins."
"Then let us continue," Zhu Yanyi said. This was only the first person. There were nine more behind. She wanted to finish them early and go back to rest.
Zhu Yanyi found that she still disliked this kind of fighting scene, especially long ones. If it were one or two fights, it would be fine, but stretching it out made her dislike it.
"The next school," Host A Guang drew another card and said, "Shangmo Academy."
Shangmo Academy was for learning magic. According to the thoughts of those present, sound cultivation and magic were two different concepts. It was unknown who would win if they met.
A person from Shangmo Academy came up. It was a girl, not tall. Zhu Yanyi estimated she was only about one meter fifty-five. Too short, perhaps? But maybe some people liked petite types.
"Shangmo Academy, Chan Juan. Please instruct me." Chan Juan looked at Zhu Yanyi, a wild light bursting in her eyes, as if she were a wolf in the night.
"Interesting. Your magic should be the innate ability to control beasts, right?" Zhu Yanyi saw through the trick at a glance.
"How did you know?" Chan Juan was stunned.
On the Saint Academy side, Jian Feiyan frowned slightly. "Why did Shangmo release this person?"
"Second Senior Sister, is this Chan Juan abnormal?" Cui Changjiu asked curiously.
Jian Feiyan nodded. "There are a few demons in Shangmo Academy who cannot be provoked. One of them is Chan Juan, known as the Evil Wolf. It is said that Chan Juan was an orphan raised by wolves. Perhaps because of this, she has the innate ability to control beasts. Do not let her small size fool you; her combat power is formidable. I wonder if Fifteen can handle this time."
"Rest assured, Second Senior Sister," Mi Xiao said with a smile, holding a spirit fruit, looking very carefree. "Fifteen’s abilities are not just these. Her greatest skill is being good at everything. So, it is not easy to figure out Fifteen’s true strength. I dare say, Fifteen will definitely win this round."
"Yes," Gu Jun said with deep feeling. "When I first met her, her cultivation was already no less than mine. Over the years, her cultivation has left me far behind. Basically, those who fight against her only suffer themselves. It is never Fifteen who suffers."
"That is good. But we should still pay attention. If Fifteen cannot hold on, everyone will go up to help directly," Yi Yunfei said directly.
Although he was the eldest senior brother, if the junior brothers and sisters spontaneously went to save her, he could not stop them. Of course, this was the worst-case scenario.
On the stage, Zhu Yanyi looked at Chan Juan, a thoughtful smile on her lips. "I thought such competitions were boring. Unexpectedly, interest has appeared. I did not expect a wolf girl to appear here."
Zhu Yanyi’s eyes were clear as she looked at Chan Juan. "Call your partners up. Let me see your true ability."
For Shangmo, Zhu Yanyi’s only plan was to defeat them. This Chan Juan was the first person she wanted to strike to suppress Shangmo.
Zhu Yanyi saw clearly that Chan Juan’s cultivation had reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. However, such cultivation was still no match for her. She wanted Chan Juan in her full state, so she asked Chan Juan to call her tamed beasts.
Chan Juan looked at Zhu Yanyi, raised her head, and howled like a wolf, as if summoning something. Soon, three wolf howls were heard nearby, and three wolves came over. Three black wolves, fierce and terrifying.
"Black wolves. Not bad," Zhu Yanyi smiled.
She casually put away her zither and flicked her hand. A white jade flute appeared. Sound cultivators were not limited to playing the zither.
"Is sound cultivation not just one instrument?" Host A Guang asked, voicing the thoughts of all sound cultivators present.
Zhu Yanyi looked at Host A Guang with an expression that said, Are you foolish? "What is sound cultivation? Sound cultivation is the cultivation of music and rhythm. Who stipulated that music and rhythm must be a specific instrument?
If one has the ability, when it rains, one can use rain threads as zither strings to play.
I remember a couplet from my hometown: 'The sky is the chessboard, the stars are the pieces; who dares to play? The earth is the pipa, the roads are the strings; who can play?'
Thus, true sound cultivators and spirit cultivators should be those who can control all things in heaven and earth as their own weapons."
When it came to talking nonsense, if Zhu Yanyi was second, no one dared to be first. Especially with Yan Aohan absent, Zhu Yanyi basically won any verbal battle against anyone.
After Zhu Yanyi finished speaking, Liu Qirong had a realization. "So sound cultivation is not fixed. I see. I was wrong." Once Liu Qirong understood, she felt her body relax. She closed her eyes, and the surrounding spiritual energy rushed toward her.
