This was the first clash between Heaven Dou Royal Academy and the Five Elements Academies.
Lin Yang had single-handedly defeated all seven elites with just one sword, inflicting a devastating defeat on the Five Elements Academies.
Let's end this contest here for now.
The moment Lin Yang stepped down from the training ground, a figure leaped energetically into the center of the arena.
She placed both hands on her hips and shouted with expectant eyes,
"Anyone else want to challenge? Your sister Wu is ready to fight to the end!"
Lin Yang could only shake his head helplessly from below the stage, but he didn't say anything to stop her.
The little rabbit had always been fearless.
Such a perfect battlefield had finally appeared. It would be a waste to let it slip away so easily.
The spectators looked at each other with puzzled expressions. The area around the stands fell completely silent.
They knew Lin Yang, but they didn't know who this girl in front of them was.
And was she really that arrogant?
"No one? You guys are such cowards."
The little rabbit pouted. Disappointment was evident in her voice.
"I thought the people from the Five Elements Academies would be amazing, but you're all just flashy on the outside with nothing inside!"
After this indiscriminate wave of criticism, the students from the five academies all turned pale and felt blood rushing to their heads.
If looks could kill, this little rabbit would have turned to ash long ago.
Lin Yang's lips twitched slightly in the spectator stands.
This little rabbit's ability to provoke people had indeed improved.
Meanwhile, Xiao Wu continued to relentlessly provoke the Five Elements Academies.
"If one person doesn't have the courage, why don't you all come at me together?"
"That won't do. From now on, whenever you see me, you must address me respectfully as 'Sister Xiao Wu.' Got it?"
These words caused an uproar among the students of the five academies.
Who could tolerate something like this?
One after another, people leaped down from the spectator stands, rubbing their hands together while glaring at Xiao Wu with angry eyes.
At a glance, aside from Shui Bing'er and a few others who had exhausted their soul power, the rest of the students had all come down.
"That's right. This is more fun."
Xiao Wu bounced twice on the spot. Her eyebrows and eyes curved into a smile.
There was no fear toward her opponents at all — only intense, thrilling fighting spirit.
"I hereby declare war—"
"Begin!"
The moment she finished speaking, she shot into the crowd like an arrow released from a bow.
"So fast!"
"Stop her quickly!"
"Watch out for her legs."
"Ah…!"
Xiao Wu appeared in the crowd and disappeared without a trace.
Her main strategy was to attack immediately without delay and then retreat.
Amid colorful spirit skills and occasional groans, Lin Yang glanced sideways and curled his lips slightly.
"You should go too!"
Upon hearing Lin Yang's words, the Shi brothers, who could no longer hold back, suddenly stood up. They pounded their sandbag-sized fists against their chests and answered in unison,
"Boss, we're heading out."
Osler and Yu Feng followed closely behind and quickly joined the battle.
Dugu Yan also quietly positioned herself in a corner. She intertwined both hands with phantom poisonous snakes, ready to attack at any moment.
Just as Ye Lingling was about to put Aura down and stand up, Lin Yang said quietly,
"Lingling, be careful. Don't let anyone die."
Ye Lingling gave him a exasperated look. "Don't worry," she said, then took out her sword and joined the fight.
At this moment, an unprecedented chaotic battle was unfolding in the first training ground of Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
From the distant spectator stands, the three Education Committee members and the five deans witnessed the entire chaotic battle.
"Hehe, your students are really… full of energy!"
Lei Jinghong, Dean of Thunder Academy, let out a dry laugh. His tone was complex. Even he didn't know how to describe the scene before him.
Meng Shenji stroked his beard, unable to hide the smile in his eyes.
"Not at all, not at all. The young ones are full of vitality. They just want to enjoy a friendly spar."
The other deans remained silent, but each of them had a strange light in their eyes. No one knew what they were plotting.
The chaotic battle didn't last long. Qin Ming forcibly stopped it.
Seeing the students from the five academies lying scattered on the ground while only his own disciples stood calmly in the middle, Qin Ming felt a moment of helplessness, but even more so, unmistakable pride.
These were all his disciples.
He lightly coughed and suppressed the smile that was about to escape, then turned to Ye Lingling.
"Lingling, heal their injuries."
Ye Lingling nodded lightly and raised her hand to summon the Nine Heart Flowering Apple.
A delicate fragrance quietly spread. Pure white petals drifted down like snow.
The next spirit rings that appeared left everyone speechless.
Yellow, yellow, purple, black, black — five spirit rings silently circled around Ye Lingling in a quiet and solemn atmosphere.
Someone's pupils shook violently. Their voice was dry. "Fifth ring… Soul Ancestor?"
People stared at the two deep black ten-thousand-year spirit rings and suddenly exclaimed,
"The fourth spirit ring is a ten-thousand-year spirit ring? How is that possible!"
"Wasn't she a support-type? How did she become an attack-type?"
Some people muttered to themselves with incredulous expressions.
Ye Lingling ignored the surprised, doubtful, and confused gazes around her.
Her fourth and fifth spirit rings lit up at the same time.
Dozens of apple blossom petals fell directly above the injured students.
Their wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a few breaths, they were completely healed.
After confirming that everyone had recovered, Ye Lingling put away her martial soul and quietly stepped aside.
Afterward, under Qin Ming's arrangement, the students from the five academies left one by one.
Complex emotions were written on their faces. The anger had long since disappeared, replaced by shock and confusion.
Was this the Heaven Dou Royal Academy they remembered?
Having Lin Yang alone was already amazing. It was lucky they could recruit such a genius student.
But even a casual support-type spirit master was a Soul Ancestor with two ten-thousand-year spirit rings.
Was this normal?
From afar, Huo Chong let out a low laugh and gave Meng Shenji a meaningful look.
"Brother Meng, you've been hiding this for a long time. It looks like you're serious about winning this year's championship."
Meng Shenji smiled faintly. "They're just children growing up healthily."
"Besides the Ye family's daughter, the other two girls are also extraordinarily talented," Shui Binyue said in a cold, clear voice.
"Self-created spirit skills… I really learned something new today."
Feng Cang chuckled. "Let's see what that little Feng Xiaotian kid can be proud of in the future."
Hu Yanzhen said nothing and left with heavy steps.
He had previously overestimated Heaven Dou Academy as much as possible, but now it seemed he had still greatly underestimated them.
He needed to report this matter to Spirit Hall as soon as possible.
The others exchanged glances and left one by one.
After all, since the students' confidence had been shaken, the deans also needed to give them some guidance.
Silence returned to the spectator stands.
Meng Shenji stood with his hands clasped behind his back, watching the five figures disappear at the edge of the stands.
After a while, he finally showed a slightly satisfied smile.
"It felt really good!"
"Indeed. Look at that old Hu Yanzhen's face. It's like he swallowed a fly. However…"
In an instant, a trace of worry appeared on Bai Baoshan's plump face.
"This has revealed many of their trump cards. Especially the ones from Spirit Hall…"
"It can't be hidden forever."
Ji Li, standing to the side, wore a gentle smile.
"Among these kids, is there anyone who doesn't like to show off?"
"They'll become famous across the Douluo Continent sooner or later. What they're facing now is just the beginning."
"Third Brother is right."
