Back then, he had been in the same team as Xia Qingchen, and he had witnessed Xia Qingchen’s face turning pale, and then he fell unconscious onto the ground while trembling.

“I heard that he had performed exemplary during the repeat competition, getting into the upper court’s D class. Is that true?”

“It should be. After all, the D class is just a trash pile. It’s nothing surprising for an additional piece of trash to join them.”

They didn’t hold any reservations in front of the D class at all.

Everyone from the D class couldn’t tolerate things anymore!

It was fine for them to say bad things about Xia Qingchen, but they shouldn’t ridicule their whole class with him.

“That’s enough!” Liu Yiyi scolded. “Stop being so sarcastic with your words. Did you guys think that you’re so amazing?”

Their conversation had risen to the class level.

Lin Tianyou, who had come in first, naturally couldn’t sit there and watch.

He stood up and pointed toward Liu Yiyi. “At least, we’re stronger than you. Do you have a problem with that?”

“Hmph!” Liu Yiyi stood, unafraid. She retorted, “Is that so? You guys didn’t seem to be that fast in the wilderness training. Didn’t you take a month as well?”

Lin Tianyou found this amusing. “From what you’re saying, it’s as if you guys have arrived half a month before.”

Liu Yiyi smiled coldly and said, “You’re half right. It’s true that we didn’t arrive half a month earlier, but one of us did!” Saying that, she kicked out with the tip of her foot, sending the piece of wood Xia Qingchen had left behind over.

Lin Tianyou reached out his hand and grabbed it. He threw a glance and then frowned slightly. “Xia Qingchen has come?”

He then looked at the date. It was really half a month ago.

“Hmph! Do you think I’ll believe that a good-for-nothing like him would be able to arrive here half a month in advance? Why don’t you think about what this means?” Lin Tianyou didn’t believe it at all.

They wanted him to believe in a few words written on a lousy piece of wood?

Liu Yiyi was about to retort when a cold voice rang out from the dark forest.

“It means that you’re a frog at the bottom of the well. Your weakness has restricted your imagination.” Lin Tianyou looked over and saw Xia Qingchen crossing his arms in front of his chest and walking out slowly.

His pair of bright eyes were like brilliant torches in the darkness.

Liu Yiyi snorted. This was the first time she was secretly feeling glad about Xia Qingchen’s arrival.

“Long time no see, good-for-nothing. I didn’t expect that you managed to get into the upper court as well. But it’s a pity that you can only get into the D class, a pile of trash.” Lin Tianyou gave a contemptuous smile.

Xia Qingchen walked over slowly, stood in front of the D class, then said calmly. “It doesn’t matter if you call me a good-for-nothing or a piece of trash. I’ll just treat it as ants talking. But I can’t pretend that I didn’t hear anything when you’re insulting my class like this.” He was part of the D class after all and had used its name to gain access to the D class’s training ground.

It wouldn’t be nice for him to turn a deaf ear toward people who had insulted the D class.

“You sound loftier now! It seems that you’ve gained quite a sense of superiority after getting first place amongst the trash in the repeat competition,” Lin Tianyou said calmly.

Xia Qingchen’s gaze remained calm. “That’s why I’m saying, can you, an ant, keep quiet?”

He put down both his hands slowly, gathering a hint of inner force on his right fingertips. “As students of the martial pavilion, if we can settle things with a fight, then spare the talk, alright?”

Everyone from the D class watched with eyes and mouth agape.

To think that Xia Qingchen, who usually seemed indifferent to things, would have such a domineering moment.

The person he was facing was the strongest in the A class, Lin Tianyou!

His words “if we can settle things with a fight, then spare the talk” also caused them to feel very comfortable for some reason.

That Lin Tianyou was really too detestable.

On the contrary, the A class broke into a commotion.

Never would they have expected that someone from the D class would dare to take the initiative to challenge them.

Moreover, the person they were challenging was Lin Tianyou.

“Brother Lin, I’ll go take him on!” Xiao Fenyu, who had come in second, glared at Xia Qingchen while wearing a cold expression on her beautiful face.

Lin Tianyou was a proud person. When openly challenged, how could he possibly hide behind someone else, getting them to take his place in battle?

“Although the good-for-nothing isn’t worth mentioning, his courage should be applauded. I’ll take him on personally as a form of encouragement for his bravery.” Lin Tianyou walked to the center.

He pointed to a pine tree that was 100 zhangs away. “I won’t bully you with my martial prowess either!”

“Your classmates are all saying that you arrived at Ping Lake half a month earlier. Then, I’ll compete against you in speed to see who can reach that pine tree first. How about it?”

Weren’t the D class boasting that Xia Qingchen could run very fast?

Then let them have a competition in that!

Xia Qingchen naturally had no objections. “Okay.”

The two of them stood alongside each other, and Li Weifeng gave out the command to start.

“Start!”

Swoosh——

Lin Tianyou was very agile and immediately shot out with a high speed of ten feet per step taken. Everyone from the A class cheered.

Being able to move for ten feet with each step taken was an extreme speed for someone below the medium constellation stage.

Lin Tianyou smiled confidently and turned back to take a look, thinking that he should have lost Xia Qingchen far behind him.

However, he hadn’t expected that Xia Qingchen still had his arms crossed in front of his chest, standing there coolly.

Just as Lin Tianyou was feeling perplexed, Xia Qingchen said, “I’ll give you a lead of 50 zhangs!”

The total distance was only 100 zhangs. If he didn’t let his opponent have a head start of 50 zhangs, then… was there a need for the competition to continue?

Lin Tianyou was so angry that he burst out laughing, feeling that he had been toyed with. The other party had no intention of competing against him.

However, since he had already started running, he should just continue and then take care of things after he came back.

10 zhangs, 20 zhangs, 30 zhangs…

When he reached 50 zhangs, he heard the students from both A class and D class letting out gasps. However, he couldn’t hear it clearly since he was too far away.

He couldn’t be bothered to turn back and have a look. He ran all the way toward the destination.

80 zhangs, 90 zhangs, 100 zhangs.

It was his victory!

However, just as he was about to arrive under the pine tree, a swift shadow flashed past him.

“It seems that I arrived first.” Xia Qingchen stopped in his footsteps, turned, and smiled as he said calmly.

Lin Tianyou was taken by surprise. “You cheated!”

People who thought too highly of themselves would always act like this.

If others were to surpass them, they would unconsciously feel that those people were cheating.

Xia Qingchen said calmly, “That’s right. I cheated. It’s because I flew here.”

It was only upon hearing that did Lin Tianyou realize that he had said something foolish.

The route for their competition was a straight path, with no shortcuts to take. How could Xia Qingchen cheat?

Being ridiculed by Xia Qingchen, Lin Tianyou’s face flushed up.

“Lin Tianyou, you’ll need to improve on your movement-type martial skill. I’ve given you such a great lead, but you’re still unable to win,” Xia Qingchen said calmly.

Lin Tianyou’s face flushed up even more.

Ever since he entered the martial pavilion, it had only been him giving others guidance.

The students from the A class felt equally ashamed.

Lin Tianyou had kept calling names like good-for-nothing and trash earlier on.

Yet, he couldn’t even win against a good-for-nothing.

“Remember, be quieter in the future, don’t chatter so much,” Xia Qingchen said calmly then turned back.

Lin Tianyou, whose pride had taken a huge blow, let out a furious bellow, “Stupid trash! Stop being so arrogant!”

He then struck out with a sharp mid-grade yellow-tier martial skill, sending it out fiercely with his strong inner force at the eighth radiance-level of the minor constellation stage.

Amidst everyone’s surprised gasps, Xia Qingchen seemed to have sensed something and turned back abruptly.

He could even take 30 blows from one at the ninth radiance-level of the minor constellation stage. Could someone who was only at the eighth radiance-level be a worthy opponent for him?

“Nine Plum Blossoms Bloomed!” His six major meridians and 60 minor meridians opened up, and he instantly struck out an attack from the [Traversing Snow, Flowering Plum].

The results were within expectations!

Lin Tianyou hadn’t even managed to touch Xia Qingchen’s clothes when he was struck by Xia Qingchen’s nine streams of inner forces on the chest.

Ba-dump——

Lin Tianyou kept on retreating, smashing against the pine tree. He only came to a stop after breaking the tree.

“You’re courting death!” Lin Tianyou was in disbelief. To think that he had been injured by a good-for-nothing!
