The old man shook his head helplessly, saying no more as he pulled out two forms from the drawer and pushed them in front of the two.
Once they signed, their commitment would be sealed with their souls.
His tone became flat, as if he had grown numb to the boldness of Chen Li and Shen Qingyue.
The two cooperatively signed their names.
This time, the old man retrieved two jade tablets from the drawer and handed one to each of them. "Drop a drop of blood on it, and your challenge information will appear on the Spiritual Energy Screen in the training arena."
Chen Li took the jade tablet, a playful smile curling at the corners of his mouth. He lightly traced his fingertip across it, forcing out a drop of blood that fell onto the tablet. It glowed faintly before settling back into calmness.
Shen Qingyue shot a cold glance at the old man and silently followed suit.
In the next moment, the massive Spiritual Energy Screen above the training arena suddenly rippled, and then two pieces of information appeared at the top of the screen like a thunderclap:
First-year student Chen Li challenges any student, wager: one Low-Grade Spirit Coin!
First-year student Shen Qingyue challenges any student, wager: one Low-Grade Spirit Coin!
As soon as this information appeared, the entire training arena erupted in excitement!
What?! Did I just see that right? One Low-Grade Spirit Coin? Where did this big spender come from?
One Low-Grade Spirit Coin? That’s a resource issued by the Imperial Academy only once a year! Who is so extravagant?
Who are these two? So arrogant? They come in and challenge all first-year students right away?
They really are tough characters! Starting off with a wager of one Low-Grade Spirit Coin; are they here to stir up trouble?
In an instant, the entire training arena was buzzing with chatter, countless eyes scrutinizing them.
Quickly, everyone’s gaze converged on Chen Li and Shen Qingyue.
Do you know them? Who are these guys? So impressive?
They are from the Shen Family that caused quite a stir some time ago; they were also cast aside by the Wuding Marquisate!
The Shen Family? The mysteriously vanished Shen Family? No wonder they look familiar; it’s them! I thought they were long gone!
How is that possible! They were lucky enough to enter the academy; otherwise, how could they have the audacity to act so boldly in the Imperial Academy?
Since that's the case! Heh heh, we can’t miss this great opportunity! One Low-Grade Spirit Coin is enough for us to enjoy ourselves for a while!
Exactly! Let’s sign up too!
Similar conversations unfolded in every corner of the training ground. Almost all the students, upon hearing about Chen Li and Shen Qingyue's identities and the stakes involved, could no longer sit still.
A Low-Grade Spirit Coin!
To these impoverished students, it was an astronomical sum!
Moreover, the targets of the challenge were two discarded children abandoned by their families—this was practically free resources!
In an instant, nearly all the first-year students went wild, rushing toward the Registration Office, fearing that if they fell behind even a moment, they would miss out on this golden opportunity.
I’m going too! I’ve never liked those two little trash bags anyway!
Haha, a Low-Grade Spirit Coin, here I come!
Don’t shove, don’t shove! Everyone line up properly!
The Registration Office, which had been relatively quiet, was now packed to the brim with students. The old clerk wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled wryly: Today's youth are becoming more and more impulsive.
In just a short while, the number of students wanting to challenge Chen Li and Shen Qingyue reached a terrifying figure.
Ninety-nine out of a hundred!
That’s right, ninety-nine out of a hundred!
As for the remaining one percent, it wasn’t that they didn’t want to challenge; it was simply that they knew their own strength wouldn’t even qualify them to be on the list!
The atmosphere in the training ground became tense due to Chen Li and Shen Qingyue's actions. All eyes were fixed on them, and discussions never ceased.
Various voices of ridicule and mockery rose and fell like waves, but Chen Li and Shen Qingyue seemed oblivious to it all.
They remained calm, as if everything around them had nothing to do with them.
A cold smile crept across Chen Li's lips as he scanned those who were making the most noise, a glimmer of excitement flashing in his eyes.
It's all about money!
Brother, should I go first? Shen Qingyue's cool voice rang in Chen Li's ear, carrying a hint of inquiry.
Although Shen Qingyue referred to herself as the reincarnation of the Celestial Empress, she had unconsciously grown accustomed to following Chen Li's lead during their time together.
Chen Li paused for a moment before shaking his head with a smile.
Don't rush. We need to play the long game to catch big fish. Otherwise, if they decide not to play with us anymore, we would be at a loss!
This kind of transaction, if done just once, would surely make these students more obedient. Therefore, this time, he must maximize the benefits.
Shen Qingyue watched the glimmer of cunning in Chen Li's eyes and couldn't help but feel sympathy for the students eager to be taken advantage of. Below was where the real harvesting would begin.
The surrounding noise and the excited shouts of the students quickly attracted the attention of Second-Level Students nearby. What’s going on? Why is it so lively over there? Let’s go take a look! It seems like some first-level freshmen are holding a competition!
Before long, the area around the Second-Level Training Platform was packed with people, completely surrounding the First-Level Training Platform.
Wow! A Low-Grade Spirit Coin! Have these freshmen gone mad?
Isn’t that right! A Low-Grade Spirit Coin! They could live lavishly in the academy for a year with that!
Tsk tsk tsk, truly foolish people with too much money! If only we could get in on this!
Who says otherwise? It’s a pity we’re not in the same level; we can’t challenge them. What a shame!
Heaven, when will I encounter two such fools?
The Second-Level Students discussed among themselves, their expressions filled with envy and jealousy as they looked at the Mission Board.
Chen Li and Shen Qingyue paid no attention to the discussions around them; their expressions were calm, as if everything happening around them had nothing to do with them.
Now, is it about time? Shen Qingyue's small face showed a hint of impatience as her cold voice urged Chen Li again.
Xiao Yue, I’ll go up first; you cover me from behind! Chen Li's lips curled into a sly smile. Let these guys see just how treacherous society can be!
Shen Qingyue looked at the glint of deceit in Chen Li's eyes and silently mourned for those students about to take the stage. Although she didn’t understand her brother’s intentions behind this arrangement, she knew that all she had to do was follow along.
With a leap, Chen Li landed steadily on the Training Platform. Instantly, all eyes were on him.
So this is the discarded child of the Shen Family? He doesn’t look impressive at all!
Right? He’s all skin and bones, looking like a pretty boy without any semblance of a martial artist!
Heh, I think he’s deliberately trying to attract attention this way to seize an opportunity for profit!
