Chapter 209: East Courtyard VS West Courtyard!

"Huh? He’s so handsome! Could he also be an instructor?"Many love-struck female students began to whisper among themselves, their eyes twinkling with little stars. It had to be said that the male instructor standing at the doorway was indeed very handsome, and his graceful demeanor was very attractive to women.

However, Qin Wanwan felt an inexplicable aversion towards this man. She had been surrounded by sycophantic men since she was a child. She had seen too many of these self-proclaimed handsome men trying to deceive a girl’s heart.

"Mr. Lee, what can I do for you?"

Su Qing Xuan’s tone was neither cold nor warm, giving off a sense of keeping people at arm’s length.

She, like Qin Wanwan, didn’t have a good impression of this handsome instructor, especially since he kept pestering her, which was starting to wear on her patience.

Lee Muuqing, this man was a Martial Arts Instructor at the West Courtyard. Heeding the advice of He Zhonglei and the others, he wanted to have a sword fighting competition with the students of the East Courtyard. After thinking it over, he felt it was a good opportunity to get close to Su Qingxuan and hurried over without much hesitation.

In reality, he could have approached that Devil Instructor Leng Jianfeng for this matter, but he purposely chose to go to Su Qingxuan instead. It was as clear as day to everyone, like an open secret.

"To enhance the competitive atmosphere among the Yellow Character Disciples, I propose a team sword fighting competition between the students of the East and West Courtyards."

"This..." Su Qingxuan furrowed her brows. "Can’t you discuss these matters with Instructor Leng?"

"Master Su, you are the head in charge of the East Courtyard after all. What do you say? This is beneficial for the students of both courtyards, you wouldn’t refuse, right?" Lee Muuqing said with a slight smile.

"This..." Su Qingxuan glanced at the students in the classroom, seeing many of them eager to fight, with even some female students nodding their heads repeatedly, thinking that a sword fight between the two courtyards indeed aligns with the competitive ethos that Heavenly Rank Academy advocates.

"Alright." Su Qingxuan nodded her head. "Then when would be a suitable time to start?"

"Right now is fine!" Lee Muuqing walked briskly to Su Qingxuan’s side, making a gentlemanly gesture of invitation, chuckling, "I’ve already arranged everything, and the Sword Fighting Arena has been booked in advance. We’re just waiting for the students of the East Courtyard to join."

"Hmph, I’ll let those guys from the West Courtyard know just how formidable we East Courtyard students are!" Wang Yishan readied himself eagerly, the big guy looking impatient to start. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ NovᴇlFir(e).nᴇt

"I want to participate too!" Jiang Xiaofan raised his hand high, completely forgetting that this could be a scheme concocted by He Zhonglei and his group.

Only Ouyang Jing frowned slightly, recalling the harsh words He Zhonglei had uttered the day before, and he silently sighed, "Big brother, big brother, at such a critical time, why did you suddenly disappear?"

"Humph!" Seeing the eager demeanor of the East Courtyard students, a sinister glint flashed in Lee Muuqing’s eyes, and he thought to himself: Very well, then you all had better ’take care’.

About seven and a half minutes later.

"This is too much! How is this a competition? They’re clearly just beating people up on purpose!"

A strong outcry arose from the East Courtyard students.

It turned out that the West Courtyard scoundrels had actually brought out the Xuan Character Disciples!

They were students from Lee Muuqing’s previous class, and now they shamelessly came to participate in a sword fighting contest with the Yellow Character Disciples.

Moreover, according to the team sword fighting competition rules, each side dispatched five people to defend their base’s Eagle Flag or Dragon Flag. Whoever knocked down the opponent’s flag first would be declared the victor.

These rules were actually a simplified version of a combat method used when two armies faced off.

The Four Great Imperial Colleges of the Imperial City are places where the Sky White Empire cultivates leadership talents, not merely homes for ordinary martial artists. This team-based flag defense combat method is the perfect combination of strength and tactics.

At this moment, the East Courtyard side guarding the golden Dragon Slayer Flag was entirely suppressed, with all five members being overpowered. The students from the West Courtyard could easily knock down their Dragon Slayer Flag and win the sword fighting competition.

However, instead of knocking down the Dragon Slayer Flag, they were willfully slaughtering the East Courtyard students.

"It’s outrageous, you guys, despicable and shameless!"

The East Courtyard students were filled with righteous indignation, while the West Courtyard students laughed heartily.

"A bunch of idiots, if you’re capable, why don’t you also invite your seniors from the last session? Do you have the clout?"

"That’s right! The Sword Fighting Platform is a place for testing martial strength, if you can’t fight, you’re going to get beaten!"

"Exactly, if you’re afraid of getting beaten up, just kneel down and surrender—crawl through the legs!"

The West Courtyard students shouted crazily, and He Zhonglei stood on the Sword Fighting Platform, stepping on Jiang Xiaofan, looked down and cursed, "Damn, where’s Ling Feng? And Zhou Kai? They were so arrogant yesterday, now where are they hiding? Have they turned into turtles with their heads shrunk?"

He Zhonglei’s brother, after all, was an A-class Disciple with some power in the Heavenly Position Academy, casually sent four Xuan Character Disciples, and helped him take revenge, completely dominating the East Courtyard in the fight.

Although such actions were contemptible, the rules clearly stated that the team competition between the West Courtyard and the East Courtyard did not have to be limited to a contest between Yellow Character Disciples.

"Darn it, this is too infuriating!" Qin Wanwan, boiling with rage, rolled up her sleeves and shouted fiercely, "So what if they’re Xuan Character Disciples? Cousin, are you even a man? Stand up and keep fighting!"

On the Sword Fighting Platform, Lio Yunfei wanted to cry without tears; damn it, he had opened ten meridians and was at the Peak of the Pulse Condensation Realm, but his opponent had not only opened fifteen meridians but also trained in the Heavenly Position Academy for an entire year!

Such a gap couldn’t just be offset.

"Master Su, let me up!" Zhou Kai couldn’t hold back any longer and clenched his fists tightly, "Even if I get beaten to death, I’ll take a chunk out of that bastard He Zhonglei!"

"No way!" Su Qingxuan frowned and sternly rejected Zhou Kai’s request.

"At the moment, this is still a team sword fighting competition. If you get involved, it would be considered a private fight! I’ve heard about your situation—violence is not the only solution!"

"Master Su, they are already using violence now. I can’t just watch my classmates get beaten up because of me!" Zhou Kai clenched his fists tightly, his gaze as cold as a sharp knife.

"Anyway, when I say no, it means no!" Su Qingxuan bit her lip; she certainly didn’t want any of the students she was responsible for to be killed or maimed.

After all, if someone was seriously injured on the Sword Fighting Platform, the other party was not required to take any responsibility.

"Damn it, damn it! Where the hell is Ling Feng at a time like this!"

Qin Wanwan stomped her feet in urgency. Under these circumstances, she actually thought of Ling Feng.

"Yes, as the Chief of the East Courtyard, Ling Feng has a duty to uphold our courtyard’s dignity!" Su Qingxuan’s eyes lit up; she had seen Ling Feng from afar a few times, and even the seldomly praising Leng Jianfeng had commended Ling Feng a few times. This young man might be able to turn the tide.

But now, when he was most needed, he was nowhere to be seen!

"Wanwan, go find Ling Feng for me, bring him here no matter what!" Su Qingxuan’s face was stern and she spoke very seriously.

"Okay!" Driven by anger, Qin Wanwan no longer cared about her personal "grudge" against Ling Feng, and hurriedly ran toward Tianshu East Courtyard.
