Guan Yue showed no fear. Facing Jiang Tianlan's attacks, he repeatedly used the first three moves of the Li Zu Divine Fist, continuously honing his skills without hesitation. Jiang Tianlan did not expect that a simple and well-known technique like the Li Zu Divine Fist could wield such power in Guan Yue's hands. Since Guan Yue did not inject the Nine Pulse Will into his divine fist against Jiang Tianlan, he merely relied on the three moves to counter Jiang Tianlan's boxing style. Although it was extremely challenging and he was being pushed back, he still managed to resist.
During this process, he noticed that Jiang Tianlan's boxing style was quite peculiar, combining stability with a hint of lightness, and agility with a touch of strength. Meanwhile, Jiang Tianlan sensed that although Guan Yue's technique was still unrefined, it was incredibly domineering. Not only was it forceful, but it also seemed to have a soul of its own, delivering powerful attacks while maintaining solid defenses.
Despite the significant disparity in their strengths, the gap between them was evident. However, even so, it seemed that Jiang Tianlan found it not so easy to defeat Guan Yue. In his heart, Guan Yue felt grateful for the opportunity given by Jiang Tianlan, allowing him to repeatedly practice the first three moves of the Li Zu Divine Fist under pressure. He even began to grasp the fourth move, Push Back the Waves.
Jiang Tianlan's expression darkened as he continuously increased his output of power. Yet Guan Yue seemed like a spring; as Jiang Tianlan's strength grew, so did Guan Yue's output, which left Jiang Tianlan feeling frustrated.
"Prince Jiang, I never thought you would find yourself in such a situation, unable to deal with a child. How amusing," a light and airy female voice suddenly rang out, startling Guan Yue. He had not noticed that someone had been lurking nearby.
Prince Jiang? Wang Renwei was overjoyed; this Jiang Tianlan was quite significant. If he truly was a royal relative, then Guan Yue would definitely be in trouble!
Guan Yue also took note of this voice: Prince Jiang? It seemed that the Grand Historian Vice Dean was right; it was better to avoid trouble. So while Jiang Tianlan greeted the woman, Guan Yue turned to leave.
However, the woman swiftly stepped in front of him, blocking his path. "Oh dear hero, I really must take a good look at the new student who can stand up to Prince Jiang." As she spoke, she smiled at Guan Yue as if trying to see through him completely.
"He's Guan Yue. He has a precious sword that I want to see, but he refuses to take it out," Jiang Tianlan quickly explained, revealing some concern about this girl.
"Guan Yue? A precious sword? Little junior brother, let me have a look. A sword that can catch Prince Jiang's eye must be extraordinary. I absolutely must admire it. May I ask if little junior brother would grant me this favor?" The woman smiled at Guan Yue with hopeful eyes.
Guan Yue looked up and noticed that she was a tall girl around seventeen or eighteen years old, exuding an aura of dominance. Although she smiled, there was an air of authority about her. After considering it for a moment, Guan Yue took out the Azure Dragon Yin-Yang Sword.
Both Jiang Tianlan and the girl exclaimed simultaneously: "Azure Dragon Yin-Yang Sword?!"
Guan Yue nodded and said, "That's right; it's it." He quickly realized that these two were likely very connected to the dean; otherwise, they wouldn't have recognized an heirloom of the dean's sect at first glance.
"You actually activated it?" Both Jiang Tianlan and the girl were taken aback again because the sword had completely changed color and emitted a faint glow in Guan Yue's hands. An expert could tell immediately that this sword had come to life.
Guan Yue nodded while greed flashed across Jiang Tianlan's face as he immediately changed his attitude toward Guan Yue. He said, "Such a precious sword is perhaps too much for a child like you to carry; why not sell it to me? Name your price; I can meet any demand."
The girl laughed and said, "Jiang Tianlan often talks nonsense, but this time he isn't lying. If you sell him that sword, he really can fulfill any wish you have."
Guan Yue shook his head and put the sword back into his ring.
The woman immediately shouted, "Dean Jin really went all out, even giving him a Storage Ring. Guan Yue, you are quite lucky."
Jiang Tianlan was still unwilling to give up on Guan Yue's sword and said, "Guan Yue, I want to buy your sword for your own good. In the future, your sword will definitely not be able to hold up. At that time, it will be a wasted effort. You need to think carefully." His tone carried a clear threat.
The woman immediately replied sternly, "Prince Jiang, there's no need to threaten him. Guan Yue is someone Dean Jin has high hopes for; you can't act recklessly."
Jiang Tianlan sneered, "Do I need to threaten him? The idea that his sword can hold up is truly laughable; let's wait and see." His expression changed as he shouted at the others, "From now on, you are not allowed to come here; this is our Inner Courtyard's exclusive area. Get lost!"
Wang Renwei quickly approached, trying to get close to Jiang Tianlan. Jiang Tianlan knew that Wang Renwei had a grudge against Guan Yue, so he casually chatted with him, making Wang Renwei so happy that he forgot himself. Jiang Tianlan's hints were well understood by Wang Renwei, and the two hit it off. From now on, Jiang Tianlan entrusted Wang Renwei with keeping an eye on Guan Yue, as he was very eager to obtain Guan Yue's activated sword. Wang Renwei vowed to stick with Jiang Tianlan from now on.
The woman then walked up to Guan Yue and smiled at him, saying, "Guan Yue, my name is He Bi. I heard you are coming to the Inner Courtyard soon; welcome! You should avoid provoking Jiang Tianlan; he is quite unreasonable and also a Royal Relative. If you encounter any problems, feel free to come to me for help."
"Thank you, Senior Sister."
He Bi nodded at Guan Yue and said, "I need to go train now; see you later." After saying that, she left.
Guan Yue secretly looked down on Jiang Tianlan. How dare he want my sword? Who does he think he is!
As Guan Yue walked back, he reflected on today's gains and deeply felt that while practicing basic techniques alone in his room was fine, true refinement required an opponent. An opponent could draw out all of one's emotions and strength, while relying solely on mental simulations was merely an abstract model.
Pufan Master taught him two practical training methods: real-world martial arts simulation and technique deduction. The two methods were different; the former focused on using the mind to simulate martial arts applications in real scenarios, while the latter involved deep analysis of a specific technique. Usually, Guan Yue practiced simulations in his dormitory; this was indeed a very practical and advanced training method but required strong Mental Strength; otherwise, one could quickly become dizzy and lose focus.
By adding combat training based on these two methods, he could rapidly enhance his Combat Power. Through today's two battles, Guan Yue further realized the importance of combat training and thus made a firm decision to challenge the new students in the Tiger Lion Ranking.
Upon returning to the dormitory, Guan Yue asked Lei Dazhuang how they ended up in such a remote place and how they encountered Wang Renwei. At this point, Lei Dazhuang and the others completely regarded Guan Yue as the leader of the dormitory; they explained everything in detail. It turned out they had been tricked into going there by people from Huangfu Sisters' room. The visitors claimed that someone was being bullied there and needed their help. So both rooms went there, only to fall into Wang Renwei's trap.
Of course, it was Zhang Hai and Yang Zun who spread the word! Dealing with those two was manageable for Lei Dazhuang and his friends; the key was dealing with the powerful figures behind them—they needed to deliver a heavy blow!
After clarifying everything, all four were extremely angry. Guan Yue was particularly determined to deal with Wang Renwei, this scoundrel! How could he even think of targeting his roommate and friend? This was unforgivable!
Guan Yue decided to issue a challenge to Wang Renwei first.
For three days, Wang Renwei did not respond to the challenge; he feared Guan Yue and dreaded embarrassing himself again in front of everyone. This would be extremely humiliating for Wang Renwei, so his resentment towards Guan Yue only grew stronger.
Everyone said, "In a month, it's the New Student Half-Year Assessment. Let's see how he dodges it then."
According to the academy's regulations, to challenge the Tiger Lion Ranking, one must first challenge the tenth place. After that, they can freely challenge those ranked ninth to fourth, while the top three must be challenged one by one.
Thus, Guan Yue challenged the tenth place of the new students in the Tiger Lion Ranking, Xiao Wenhai. Xiao Wenhai had also obtained his tenth place through challenges and was an Entry High-Quality realm Disciple. He had just secured his position less than ten days ago, so he was very angry. When he and Guan Yue stood on the Arena, he exerted all his strength to compete with Guan Yue in fist techniques, but under Guan Yue's strikes, he quickly lost his advantage.
The battle with Xiao Wenhai did not significantly help Guan Yue's improvement, so he immediately issued a challenge to the sixth place.
The sixth place was an outstanding young man among the new students, a well-known blue-faced youth named Mu Qingyun. Perhaps due to genetic reasons, Mu Qingyun had a unique complexion that was bluish-black. He was already at the Attainment Middle Grade realm and was a student of the mage department, possessing special talents for spells, which was one of the reasons why Guan Yue sought him out.
Guan Yue had never fought against a mage before. Although he knew a bit about spells, he did not have an objective understanding of how formal mages fought, so he wanted to experience a battle with a mage.
Mu Qingyun's fame was not solely due to his appearance; his spells indeed had unique qualities among new students. Even though he was only at Attainment Middle Grade, even ordinary Superior Realm Disciples were somewhat wary of his spells.
When Guan Yue appeared in the Arena alongside him, Ruo Yi showed up. Ruo Yi was there specifically to observe Guan Yue's performance and gather information for Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian.
Guan Yue still used fist techniques against Mu Qingyun. Mu Qingyun held a piece of blue stone wood that emitted bursts of red light. The red light transformed into countless red mist clouds that surrounded Guan Yue completely. Guan Yue employed the first move of Li Zu Divine Fist, Rescue in the Wind, to keep those red mists at bay; this move effectively protected him from harm. However, feeling frustrated, Guan Yue quickly followed up with the second move, Cleaving Wind and Slicing Waves, attacking Mu Qingyun. Mu Qingyun remained calm; with a wave of his hands, cold air surged from the blue stone wood. As this cold air emerged, the surrounding temperature dropped by several dozen degrees. Ice began forming outward from Mu Qingyun's blue stone wood.
Guan Yue realized the severity of the situation; if he were encased in that ice layer, it could ruin his power completely. Therefore, he immediately accelerated his blood flow and summoned the Peak Fire Sprite stored within him. This Peak Fire Sprite had been tamed by Gao Yuxin and was currently helping Guan Yue develop his Palace Sea. As soon as Guan Yue summoned it, it released waves of heat that spread in all directions around him, helping him resist Mu Qingyun's cold attack.
Seeing that his extreme cold ice spell still could not defeat Guan Yue made Mu Qingyun anxious. Thus, he attempted to use his strongest move: Eight Directions Mountain Hammer to attack Guan Yue.
