"No." Host Aguang didn't know what to say. Indeed, there was nothing.
"See? Since there’s nothing, why were you so eager to stop me? I didn’t kill anyone or start a fire. I was just kindly waiting for that student to come out." Zhu Yanyi glanced at Host Aguang.
"Besides, I wanted to go back to the audience to rest. But since the match is ongoing, if I leave the stage, it means I lose. I can’t just stand there foolishly waiting for someone, can I? What’s the harm in having a little fun? And I’m not disturbing anyone, am I?"
Hearing Zhu Yanyi’s words, Host Aguang didn’t know how to refute her. She couldn’t say she was wrong because she truly wasn’t affecting the other contestant. So, she awkwardly stepped aside. Forget it. This weirdo does whatever she wants.
In fact, if Zhu Yanyi had waited seriously, that would have been abnormal. This relaxed attitude was the true style of all students from the Sage Academy.
Zhu Yanyi continued lying on her recliner. She ate a spirit fruit. After finishing it, she looked at the person still spinning inside the formation, yawned, and took out a novel to read.
Her leisurely demeanor made everyone else feel drowsy.
Zhu Yanyi flipped through the novel, then put it away. "I’ll sleep for a bit. Wake me up when she comes out. Judging by her speed, she should be out in about two hours." She closed her eyes and truly went to rest.
Who acts this relaxed during a competition? Host Aguang didn’t know what to say.
In fact, Zhu Yanyi’s estimate was accurate. About two hours later, the person finally emerged. The moment she came out, Zhu Yanyi opened her eyes and smiled at the disheveled figure. "Congratulations. You made it out smoothly."
"When did you get out?" the opponent frowned slightly. she could tell from her appearance that she had been out for quite some time.
Zhu Yanyi replied slowly, "Let me think… probably two or three hours ago."
The opponent: (⊙o⊙)…
She hadn’t expected her carefully arranged magic array to fail to trap her for even a few minutes. She thought for a moment, then said, "I lost." Then she asked, "Your formation is so powerful. Do you specialize in Qimen studies?"
"No." Zhu Yanyi grinned. "The biggest feature of the Sage Academy is medicine. I am a healer." Her tone was particularly proud.
(⊙o⊙)… Why did this healer, who knew everything, make him feel speechless? Was his knowledge outdated? Or was his experience too limited? Did healers nowadays need to be this powerful?
"A healer? How is that possible?" The opponent seemed skeptical.
Zhu Yanyi shrugged slightly. "I’m not lying. I am a healer. Most people here know the Sage Academy is famous for medicine."
Well, this person was defeated. Losing was bad enough, but losing to a healer was worse. Thinking of this, he looked listless.
Zhu Yanyi turned to Host Aguang. "You can continue drawing cards."
Host Aguang paused before saying, "Someone asked me to ask you: What is it that you can’t do?"
"I don’t know." Zhu Yanyi tilted her head, thinking. "I’ve learned too many mixed things. Of course, there are many things I don’t know. But I don’t know which ones I currently can’t do."
Then, as if remembering something, she added, "Oh, right. I don’t know magic, and I don’t know the charm techniques from Jingmei Girls’ School. See? I already have two things I can’t do."
It was normal not to know the specialties of other schools. The others didn’t want to listen anymore.
Host Aguang didn’t want to listen either. He directly drew another card: "Jingmei Girls’ School."
"No need to compete. We concede." This was said by the elder leading the Jingmei Girls’ School team. Since Xie Qinxin had already lost to Zhu Yanyi, she couldn’t imagine who could be her opponent. It was better to concede directly than to send students out to be crushed.
"Oh, then I’ll draw another card." Host Aguang had to draw again.
"No need. This little girl wins all ten rounds." An elder from Yuanwu Academy spoke up. "That’s my suggestion. We from Yuanwu Academy won’t bother fighting the little girl."
Although the Divine Emperor Academy and Shangmo Academy were a bit unwilling, they had to admit Zhu Yanyi’s abilities were too strong. Relatively speaking, they preferred facing veteran students like Yi Yunfei. At least Yi Yunfei’s cultivation could be detected.
After several matches, they still couldn’t detect Zhu Yanyi’s cultivation level. Rather than being crushed one-sidedly, they might as well let her pass. Letting her pass only meant losing one quota, but it saved face for the other academies.
"Right, right. Given her ability, the next few rounds should be easy for her. Let her pass." An elder from the Divine Emperor Academy also spoke up.
"Then it’s settled." Guan Feng made the decision for Shangmo.
Zhu Yanyi was speechless. "Maybe I’ll lose the next round. This isn’t good. People will gossip. Let’s continue. Actually, I think this is quite fun."
"No need, little ancestor. You’ve passed. You have a quota. Go rest quickly." After hearing everyone’s decision, Host Aguang didn’t want to face Zhu Yanyi anymore. She just wanted to send this ancestor away, so she said this.
Zhu Yanyi sighed. "Sure enough, learning too much is no good. Being a top student is so lonely and boring." She stepped off the stage slowly, with an expression of I am truly empty, lonely, and cold.
When Zhu Yanyi returned to the Sage Academy, other schools, including Host Aguang on stage, breathed a sigh of relief. They couldn’t compete with such an all-around talent, especially in a careful competition like this. Just thinking about it was unpleasant. It was better not to face her.
Host Aguang continued drawing schools. Naturally, he drew the Sage Academy again.
"I’ll go." This time, Gu Jun went up.
After experiencing the shock from Zhu Yanyi, no one said much about Gu Jun. However, Gu Jun failed in the final round, passing only nine stages.
This wasn’t a big deal for the Sage Academy. After all, only three people had failed. They had agreed that twelve people would secure twelve quotas, so they had five spare quotas for failures.
Besides, passing nine stages wasn’t really a failure. If the final number of qualified students was insufficient, those who passed nine stages would still advance.
The afternoon ended here, marking the end of the second day. Now, they just waited for tomorrow.
So far, the Sage Academy had secured five quotas.
