Chapter 801
What he wanted was to destroy them completely and prove to everyone that the decision he had made was correct.
The constant stubbornness of the Canglan College would lead them to demise!
However, now the performance of the Canglan College had already been out of his expectations. It is no wonder that their princ.i.p.al so easily agreed to hold the college tournament in advance, they had already prepared for it!
The vice president of Beihai College, Cang Hongxi, sat next to Lin Yinghao and his expression was the ugliest amongst all the princ.i.p.als and vice princ.i.p.als that were present.
He also had complete confidence in this college tournament, but he had not expected that he would already be feeling threatened before the first round even ended.
Lingyin College was first place, no one could doubt this, but if Canglan College overtook their college that'd be the biggest shame.
"Vice-president Cang, the strength of the students of your college which have been defeated seems a bit bad…"
Huan Chuyou said with a casual voice. The feeling of finally being able to mock him was great and Cang Hongxi's face turned gloomy.
Huan Chuyou did not like Cang Hongxi. He might be the vice princ.i.p.al of Beihai College, but now that they were a dog to the Lingyin College, all the power was in Lingyin College's hands.
As a cultivator, integrity was the most important, but what had happened to Cang Hongxi and the entire Beihai College?
How many students can be lead by this vice president?
Cang Hongxi looked at him with a sullen look, "Lu Jinglin's performance today is poor because she was injured on the way to the Lingyin college, she has still not fully recovered."
Cang Haoxi would never let Huan Chuyou give him a tag of having weak people in his college, and immediately found a suitable excuse.
Lingyin's Lin Yinghao instantly pretended to be surprised, "I see, no wonder this was the result."
"Since the tournament was about to begin but she still managed to become injured, she sure is very careless."
Huan Chuyou shook his head, the sarcasm in his words was obvious.
Over the years, Beihai College has often ridiculed Canglan College since they had the backing of Lingyin College, every year they would make them lose students.
The teachers of Beihai College would go to the countries close to Canglan College and poach the talented geniuses.
This had always made Huan Chuyou and Ren Tianxiong feel disgusted.
It was obvious that the Beihai College had done a lot of small tricks throughout the years.
Initially Huan Chuyou and Ren Tianxiong had no intention of acting on it, but now that things had reached this point, they had completely torn their faces with one another, he did not mind taunting them a bit.
After all, you can't always suffer this kind of disgusting behavior, might at least let Cang Hongxi understand what he was up against.
Cang Hongxi had never expected that Huan Chuyou would change his att.i.tude so much. Even so, he could say nothing in return
Can you possibly say that Lu Jinglin was injured by Baili Hongzhuang previously?
Doesn't that just mean that she was useless?
Therefore Cang Hongxi can only swallow the bad breath. In fact, Lu Jinglin's show today was truly too unsatisfactory.
"Bang!" A loud noise came cras.h.i.+ng down as the hot temperature spread and out of the flames fell Lu Jingqi's body, it fell heavily to the ground.
Seeing this unexpected scene, the audience could not help but burst into discussion.
Although they knew the power of the martial art that Xia Zhiqing was using was outstanding, they had never expected it to be this shocking.
In a battle where Xia Zhiqing and Lu Jingqi were completely equal, it was shocking that Lu Jingqi had no resistance at all, she was directly blown up.
There was a big smile on Dongfang Yu's face, "Is Xia Zhiqing showing off the inheritance she got in the ruins?"
Before this, they had heard that Xia Zhiwing had been taught a whip skill in the ruins. Now, looking at the power of the move, it was truly powerful.
Baili Hongzhuang nodded slightly, "It should be."
During the time since the ruins they had already mastered the inheritance from the ruins. From this, she can see that Xia Zhiqing had full control over the martial arts.
However, the amount of energy needed for this mysterious martial art was a lot, and it was difficult to display it with the cultivation base of Xia Zhiqing.
After all, the higher rank a martial arts was, the more power was needed in order to display it. If they were not strong enough, and they still forcefully tried using this skill it might even harm themselves.
If she guessed correctly, then this should be a Mysterious Middle Ranked martial art skill. However, it should be much stronger than others of the same rank.
In fact, if the martial art was higher ranked than that, then it would not be Lu Jingqi that was lying on the ground right now, but Xia Zhiqing.
Lu Jingqi had directly fainted, but Xia Zhiqing was not much better off, obviously this attack had exhausted all her strength.
"Xia Zhiqing wins!"
When the voice of the judge fell, Xia Zhiqing revealed a brilliant smile. She finally won!
Baili Hongzhuang did not hesitate to rush to her side and placed a pill into her mouth. She had used far too much energy in this battle and there was still the second round coming up. She needed to restore her yuanli as soon as possible.
"Hongzhuang I won!"
Xia Zhiqing was too excited as she waved her hands. This victory was important to her!
Baili Hongzhuang smiled and gave a thumbs up, "You are great! Because of you, we have overtaken Beihai College!"
Dongfang Yu and the others were also happy. After seeing Xia Zhiqing, they also raised their thumbs, "Zhiqing, you are so powerful!"
"Beautiful victory!"
The hearts of the people from
Lingyin College had three people who advanced, not counting Nangong Aochen who directly entered the final.
Canglan College also had four people, while Beihai only had three.
Soon the judges handed over the results of who had progressed to the second round to Jian Qingqiu. He then too a glance at the final result and stood up to announce the names.
"In the first round, those who qualified for the second round from Lingyin College are Nangong Xiujie, Gangong Yue'er and Jin Xingyu.
"The ones from Beihai College who won the first round are Xiao Lanmei, Xue Haoling and Nan Yangze.
"Canglan College's winning students are Baili Hongzhuang, Gong Shaoqing, Dongfang Yu, and Xia Zhiqing."
With the announcements of the results the cultivators from the schools cheered. No matter what, at least they managed to enter the second round and got some of the limelight.
"I did not expect Canglan College to be this strong, they had four people who advanced to the second round. It seems that our previous thoughts were all wrong."
"d.a.m.n I bet on Beihai College winning, but now they alraedy lost in the first round. They are normally so arrogant, this is really shameful!"
"If I knew, I'd have bet on Canglan College, currently they have the best odds!"
Someone had already started a betting pool before the start of the tournament. Because everyone knew that Lingyin College were going to be the winners, the gambles were all between Beihai and Canglan College.
From the odds everyone understood that Canglan College had no chance to win, so most chose Beihai College, only a few would bet on Canglan College.
At this moment, seeing that Beihai College was suppressed, their hearts were depressed.
Now it was impossible to change their bets, but if they could, they would have bet on Canglan College.
For this reason, Beihai College had become the subject of everyone's ire.
The faces of Lu Jinglin an the others had long since turned ugly. They were filled with confidence, they did not expect that only three would advance to the second round. They had the fewest cultivators in the tournament now, their chances of winning were the smallest.
Mo Xinghai and Duan Yingwu's faces were ugly to the extreme. They used to be so arrogant in front of Lu Huaiyan, but now they dared not even look at him, it was simply too shameful.
"The show you displayed today is simply too bad!"
Mo Xinghai looked at the students behind him with annoyance. He had hoped that they would show off their might and stun everyone at this tournament, but they did the opposite!
Lu Jinglin lowered her head. She was without a doubt the worst performer of them all, she felt that the eyes, that the mentor used to look at her with, would chop her into pieces.
On the side, Lu Jingqi was still unconscious. Even though she had been given medicine, it would take some time for her to wake up again, the strength of Xia Zhiqing's move was simply just too strong.
"Mentors, in round two we will do our very best!" Xue Haoling said as he clenched his fist.
The humiliation he was receiving right now, he would definitely give it back to the Canglan Cultivators in the next round!
Lu Jinglin looked gratefully at Xue Haoling. His words had freed her from the previous predicament.
Initially she did not like Xue Haoling very much. She always just let him pursue her with no intention of responding, but now she felt that he was more manly than before.
"Mentors, the current result does not represent the final result. Xia Zhiqing has now used all her energy, she cannot perform well in the next round." Nan Yangze slowly said.
Seeing the expressions of Xue Haoling and Nan Yangze, both Mo Xinghai and Duan Yingwu's faces turned much better. This was something they also knew.
Although the first round of compet.i.tion was over with the Canglan college having more places than them, the second round would begin soon, there was no time to rest in the middle.
With the current situation of Xia Zhiqing, it was impossible to recover before the beginning of the next round, as a result she was definitely going to be eliminated.
"In the next round, no mistakes are allowed!"
Duan Yingwu's stance was tough. The strength these students displayed represented the strength of the mentors. If the students did badly, it would say that they were bad mentors.
"Yes!"
Xue Haoling and Nan Yangze nodded their heads, they would do their best in the next battle!
Compared to Xue Haoling and Nan Yangze's loud agreements, Xiao Lanmei never said anything and was as casual as always.
Mo Xinghai and Duan Yingwu were both familiar with the character of Xiao Lanmei. He was their trump card. Even the third prince lost in his hands, so it showed that he was not weak. He would definitely walk all the way to the final.
"Now everyone has an hour to rest. I hope you can adjust your state as soon as possible and do your best in the next round."
Jian Qingqiu announced an hour break, and everyone started resting.
"There is only an hour, it will be very difficult for me to recover,"
Xia Zhiqing's eyebrows wrinkled slightly. Her previous use of the Dancing Fire Whip had drained her body completely of yuanli, even though she had taken some medication, it was not enough to restore her in a short time.
It was like a person who was hungry and hasn't eaten for a few days. Suddenly she had food, but because of being too weak, it was impossible to restore one's strength immediately.
She could never recover in one hour.
"One hour is indeed too little."
Dongfang Yu frowned. Fortunately they had not been injured, otherwise they would have to completely miss the second round.
"This is simply too unreasonable!"
Zhan Yunfeng's face was filled with disgust. Their advantage in the first round had completely vanished like this.
"This rule is somewhat unreasonable, but it becomes reasonable when it is the same for everyone," Baili Hongzhuang was indifferent.
This kind of rule was not directed at them, but at everyone, so they could not complain about it. They could only accept it.
When hearing her words, their expressions changed slightly. They were very unhappy but they understood that Baili Hongzhuang was reasonable.
If the other two colleges did not complain but they did, everyone would have a bad impression of them.
Xia Zhiqing's face showed a bit of helplessness. If she had known this would be the result she would not have used the Dancing Flame Whip.
It's just that Lu Jingqi was stronger than she had expected. She had no other option than to win this way.
Xia Zhiqing was depressed. From the beginning, she already knew that with her own strength, it was impossible to enter the finals.
When thinking about it, she could not help but be grateful that her first opponent was Lu Jingqi.
If she could not deal with Lu Jingqi before the second round, then in the second round, she would be able to help her teammates cause problems.
They were there as a team, and all she wished for was to see her team go further.
However, she was too weak, wasting an excellent opportunity.
Baili Hongzhuang patted Xia Zhiqing's shoulder, "You already did great, don't overthink."
Xia Zhiqing nodded and smiled, but within her smile was some disappointment.
"Zhiqing, I will help you with acupuncture, maybe it can help you increase your restoration rate." Baili Hongzhuang said slowly.
By using acupuncture she was able to stimulate the meridians and cells in the body, allowing for the body to absorb the Qi with the fastest speed.
As a result, it could perhaps help Xia Zhiqing recover.
Hearing this, Xia Zhiqing could not help but ask, "Can it really work?"
Baili Hongzhuang nodded slightly while smiling, "I said so, so naturally it will work. Don't forget who I am."
Xia Zhiqing's eyes shone brightly. Baili Hongzhuang was a famous medicinal doctor!
"Hongzhuang you are the hope of our college, the one we hope will enter the finals. Applying acupuncture will consume your mental energy, are you sure about this?" Zhan Yunfeng was worried. She naturally hoped that they could restore Xia Zhiqing's strength, but if it affected Baili Hongzhuang then it was not a good thing.
Xia Zhiqing also quickly agreed, "Yunfeng is correct. Hongzhuang, you shouldn't help me, you are the most important."
It was already a shame that she had failed, but if she dragged down Baili Hongzhuang, then she would become the sinner of the academy.
Baili Hongzhuang waved her hand dismissively, "Don't worry. It is just stimulating the meridians, not removing poison or healing someone. It is not complicated and won't require much energy."
"Hongzhuang are you sure?" Xia Hongzhuang asked uncertaintly.
Baili Hongzhuang nodded and smile. "Of course it's true. Why would I lie to you?"
Xia Zhiqing couldn't help but look at Zhan Yunfeng to hear her opinion, but she also nodded her head. "Since Hongzhuang says its nothing, then let us try it."
Next, Baili Hongzhuang directly took out her silver needles and her energy surged as she placed the silver needles into the acupoints of Xia Zhiqing.
This was the first time that Xia Zhiqing was experiencing acupuncture. She had thought that it would be painful to have such long needles placed in her body, but after Baili Hongzhuang placed the first needle, she did not feel the slightest pain. Instead, she felt a sense of soreness where the needle was placed, but it was very comfortable.
Baili Hongzhuang directly took out a white porcelain bottle and gave it to Xia Zhiqing. She said, "There are some returning Qi pills here. You should swallow two now."
If they relied on Xia Zhiqing's own ability to restore the strength within this one hour it'd be impossible. As such it was definitely important to use these returning Qi pills.
Xia Zhiqing looked at the bottle of pills in her hands and her heart was bursting with emotions.
Even knowing that Baili Hongzhuang was an alchemist, she couldn't help but marvel over her actions. This was completely like eating pills as if they were candy.
