Chapter 228: The Country Bumpkin's Fiancée Before?
“You lot, besides your Wanjue Academy being cowards, where else here are there cowards?”
Zhao Wuchi patted the dust off his sleeve with one hand.
After he finished speaking, laughter erupted from the group of cultivators from Mingyue Academy.
The monks, laughing heartily, were either bent over or held their heads high, their faces showing disdain and contempt.
"A school of cowards paired with cowardly monks, a perfect match."
"Yeah, a complete wipeout at the start, only the Myriad Absolutes Academy can hold that record, hahaha."
"Hahaha, you bet, how can it be so funny?"
……
Hua Xi also stood at the end of the line, while the senior cultivators of Wanjue Academy were eager to join in.
Her eyes were lowered, and her fingers were clenched at her sides.
She initially didn't think much of Wanjue Academy, and not getting into her preferred school naturally made Hua Xi depressed for a while.
However, the teachers at Wanjue Academy were very responsible, and the sword arena allowed her to learn about the history of Wanjue Academy, thus gradually integrating her into the academy.
Now, seeing someone belittling them and even the entire Wanjue Academy, before the senior students in the front row could speak up, Hua Xi stood up:
"You call us cowards, but what about you, Mingyue? You slaughter cultivators in holographic arenas. I ask you, is that something to be proud of?"
Hua Xi clenched her fists and her voice trembled as she spoke; she was furious.
Hua Xi couldn't help but raise her voice when she thought of the many students and seniors from the previous two years whose Dao hearts collapsed because of those cruel methods.
After the former senior students were tortured and killed, even though it was a holographic state and they wouldn't actually die, they still suffered real psychological trauma.
The trauma inflicted in this way is difficult to erase, which means that they are unable to recover their physical condition for a long time after being eliminated, and many of them even experience a significant drop in their cultivation level.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Wuchi of Mingyue paled slightly, but quickly regained his composure:
"Heh, what torture? That's just because the people from your Wanjue Academy aren't strong enough. If you don't kill people in the academy competition, how can you be eliminated?"
"You know in your hearts how cruel your methods are. You Mingyue cultivators are of questionable character and are destined not to go far on the path of cultivation."
Hua Xi's words caused immense damage.
The path of spiritual practice is as important to a cultivator as life itself.
Hua Xi's statement is equivalent to a curse in the 21st century, saying that someone will never get rich.
Upon hearing this, Mingyue's students were momentarily disoriented, and some of them almost rushed towards Hua Xi with their necks stiffened.
"How can you, a female cultivator, speak so viciously! Heh, if this weren't the academy's grand competition, you would have died ten thousand times over."
The monk Mingyue spoke loudly.
Hua Xi wasn't afraid at all. She took two more steps forward so that others could see her face more clearly:
"So what if it's the academy competition? Come at me, are you afraid you can't beat me? Don't you male cultivators always say that female cultivators are weak?"
With just a few words, Hua Xi stirred up a huge wave of hatred, igniting a conflict between men and women.
The students of Wanjue Academy all had a deep impression of Hua Xi, after all, only Hua Xi would have such an arrogant attitude of looking down on others.
Every time other cultivators first encountered Hua Xi, they felt that this female cultivator had an exotic beauty, but no one expected that Hua Xi was not only beautiful but also a rose with thorns. Hua Xi treated everyone equally.
Because of the equal contempt for everyone.
Today, they really didn't expect that Hua Xi would be the second person to stand up after Jiang He, especially the students of the first-year sword cultivation class.
During the military training, some people targeted Jiang He. They especially remembered that Hua Xi was one of them. Hua Xi made a few sarcastic remarks to Jiang He during the training.
However, today they actually saw Hua Xi speak up for Wanjue Academy. Although she didn't seem to be completely supporting Jiang He, it didn't stop them from thinking that the two of them were surprisingly compatible.
The cultivators in Mingyue were furious.
Zhao Wuchi pointed fiercely at Hua Xi:
"I'll remember you. See you at the university competition."
Hua Xi didn't respond and simply returned to the group.
Jiang He hadn't expected Hua Xi to be so powerful; one direct strike drew half of the aggro away from her.
Hua Xi noticed Jiang He's gaze and gently tucked the curls behind her ear.
"Jiang He, don't let me down."
Hua Xi's words were ambiguous, and the others in Wanjue Academy didn't quite understand them, only feeling that the two were evenly matched.
Lanmu, who secretly ships the couple, even wants to go home and write a novel.
She'd already thought of a title: "My Nemesis and I Had a Happy Ending at the University Competition." Lan Mu usually loves shipping couples, she ships all kinds, aiming for a balanced diet.
The live stream was broadcast live on the StarNet and watched by netizens.
When everyone turned their attention to Hua Xi, they realized just how sharp-tongued she was.
[This female cultivator has such a sharp tongue! She actually cursed someone's cultivation level! It's hilarious! Hahaha!]
The person has a standard Roman curl and seems to be from the Hua family; their appearance does resemble them. If they are from the Hua family, then it makes sense. I remember the whole family has a sharp tongue and is also the kind of person who's extremely arrogant.
Do you know that much? Isn't the Hua family a Xuan-rank family? It seems like you have the right to be so arrogant.
Wow, everyone at Wanjue Academy is so good-looking! None of the people I just watched on the livestream were ugly, and that little girl who was arguing with someone was so cute!
Good looks can't be used as an elixir, so what's the use of being good-looking?
Wait, isn't it supposed to be that the higher one's appearance, the stronger one's cultivation? Isn't that what the stories say?
Um... think what you want.
Are all the female cultivators at Wanjue Academy this powerful? They silenced Mingyue's cultivators completely.
That's just a way of saying we don't care. Once the competition starts, you'll see how strong Mingyue is.
]
Jiang He had taken advantage of the time she had just spent to memorize almost all the characteristics of the cultivators she could see.
She lowered her head, thinking about Hua Xi's words.
From the moment Zhao Wuchi deliberately provoked her, she was intentionally stirring up hatred. Li Ling could stir up more hatred after the competition started, but she didn't expect Hua Xi to also participate in her plan.
In this way, it can be considered as helping her out.
Mingyue wants to be Ling Qing's vanguard, and Jiang He doesn't mind getting rid of Mingyue first.
She remembered that kill count was also included in the MVP evaluation.
Jiang He stood at the back. When she didn't speak, her presence wasn't very strong. If you didn't look closely, you could easily ignore her.
Xie Xing stood in front of Ling Qing. Shangguan Xue, who was next to him, frowned slightly. The name Jiang He sounded familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had heard it before.
On the contrary, Zhong Hengshan, who was somewhat dissatisfied with Xie Xing in the team, looked at Xie Xing with a calm and collected expression:
"So this is your ex-fiancée? She's quite pretty. No wonder it took you more than a month to go to the Xie family to break off the engagement. Did you have your eye on her back then, which is why you hesitated so much?"
"Ex-fiancée?"
Shangguan Ningxue frowned slightly.
"Yes, Xue, didn't you know? Xie Xing's previous country bumpkin fiancée was named Jiang He."
