Chapter 36: With such an unreasonable request, I had no choice but to agree!
"Silence!"
A powerful and deep voice rang out from the high platform of the fighting spirit arena.
"Let us warmly welcome the special guests of this Five Elements Academy Exchange Competition—the deans of the five major elemental academies!"
Thunderous applause erupted. Four men and one woman walked out from the high platform, waved their hands, and took their seats.
Aside from Shui Xinrou, Liu Yanyang was not familiar with any of them. However, he was familiar with the middle-aged man in a dark purple robe—Lei Ya, the dean of the Thunder Academy.
He had just used his mental power to detect himself, but it was only for a moment, and yet he still sensed it.
"He originally wanted to show off his skills and defeat Yu Tianxin.
"But when he saw Hu Yanzhen, the leader of the Elephant Armor Sect, he gave up the idea.
"He doesn't want Bibi Dong to know him, even though Bibi Dong doesn't care about geniuses, only the strong.
"But if Bibi Dong ever gets the urge to take an interest in him or wants to kill him, it would be easy as pie.
"After all, you can't reason with a madman. Better to stay low and develop while Tang San plays with them," Liu Yanyang muttered inwardly.
"Next, I declare the biennial Five Elements Academy Exchange Tournament to begin," the powerful voice echoed again.
"Wait a moment!"
Yu Tianxin strode towards the Soul Fighting Arena from the direction of Thunder Academy.
He gently cupped his fists towards the Five Elements Academy deans on the podium.
"Before the competition begins, I'd like to ask all the deans and students to be witnesses!"
Yu Tianxin coughed lightly, his stiff facial muscles twitching as he pointed at Liu Yanyang with righteous indignation.
"Shameless, despicable villains, plotting to ensnare Shui Bing'er, the pride of Tianshui College..."
These words completely ignited the crowd. Hearing their goddess threatened by a group of despicable villains, most people were filled with rage, their eyes reddening as they stared at Liu Yanyang, spewing filth.
Shui Bing'er, standing nearby, looked anxious, trying to explain otherwise.
Liu Yanyang patted her shoulder and whispered softly,
"Explanations are useless!"
Then, he looked with interest at the indignant Yu Tianxin on the stage.
"On behalf of all my classmates, I challenge a shameless villain like you. If you lose, get out of Tianshui College!"
Watching the crowd erupt in anger, condemnation and insults cascaded incessantly.
"It's a good idea, but a little hasty and perhaps foolish," Liu Yanyang said with a sigh.
First, they create a buzz, steer public opinion, and spread negative rumors about themselves.
Then, they seize the opportunity to ignite public opinion, asserting their moral high ground and using the public to suppress them.
Finally, they can earn their favor and promise them benefits after graduation.
Dig up the roots of the Three Elemental Academies, slowly and steadily, and force the deans of the Three Elemental Academies to bow their heads like a blunt knife cutting flesh!
Watching the scene escalate, Shui Bing'er anxiously looked at the calm Liu Yanyang.
"Aren't you anxious? I'll go talk to Mother!"
She immediately stood up and walked towards the stage.
"No, people set up the stage to perform, I can't just tear it down!" Liu Yanyang shook his head.
"Lend me your waist!"
Then, he put his arm around Shui Bing'er's slender waist, crossed his legs, and looked at the clown-like Yu Tianxin on the stage with a sigh.
"You despicable villain, you dare to flirt with Bing'er!" Yu Tianxin raged, his eyes wide open.
"What? Are you jealous?" Liu Yanyang said in a teasing tone, pressing Shui Bing'er's head against his shoulder.
Shui Bing'er, in his arms, blushed humiliated. She could only close her eyes, not daring to look around.
"You shameless villain, if you have the guts, come up and challenge me. Are you still a man?" Yu Tianxin raged.
"Whether you have guts or not, whether you're a man or not isn't up to you. It's her!"
He toyed with Shui Bing'er's icy blue hair.
Then, with a sigh, he said, "If you beg me, I can reluctantly agree. Remember, when you ask someone for something, you should behave appropriately."
Then, he simply closed his eyes and rested, remaining unmoved no matter how furious Yu Tianxin raged.
On the podium, Huo Hegui, the dean of Blazing Fire Academy, and Feng Xingtian of Divine Wind Academy simultaneously looked at Shui Xinrou.
Things were escalating, seemingly out of control. Should they intervene?
Shui Xinrou shook her head at them and looked at Liu Yanyang, curious about how he would handle the situation.
Yu Tianxin was shocked by Liu Yanyang's shamelessness. He couldn't understand how he could remain indifferent despite so many people scolding him.
He was practically a clown now. The longer things dragged on, the worse it would be for him. He couldn't let his grandfather, Yu Luomian, down.
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, then slowly opened them.
He bowed and clasped his fists toward Liu Yanyang.
"Please, sir, challenge me to a duel!"
His eyes suddenly sharpened.
"The loser will never set foot in Tianshui Academy again,"
Liu Yanyang said, looking at the respectful Yu Tianxin.
"Since you're so polite, it would be petty of me to refuse."
Then, he stood up and leaped with all his might, landing directly on the fighting arena.
Lei Ya, the dean of Thunder Academy, perched on the platform, curled his dry lips. Although he couldn't sense Liu Yanyang's exact spirit power level or age, judging by his youthful face, he assumed he was young, so his spirit power level was definitely not as high as Tianxin's.
The plan was being implemented step by step. If successful, he would gain a certain influence in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and even have the potential to break through. His heart was burning with excitement.
Seeing Liu Yanyang already on the stage, Yu Tianxin's expression suddenly changed, glaring fiercely at him.
"Since both parties have agreed, the competition venue is now yours. Remember, fight to the finish line and no casualties!"
Then, he flew away from the fighting arena.
Yu Tianxin smirked coldly and shouted.
"Spirit Possession!"
A beam of blue light suddenly lit up from the center of his brows. Then, the blue light instantly expanded, descending from his brows throughout his body. Strands of blue-purple electricity, like small snakes, swirled around him.
His right arm grew immensely thick, covered in blue-purple scales. His right hand transformed into a claw, each joint growing immensely larger. Blue-purple snake electricity swirled around him, constantly condensing and flowing through his arm. Three spirit rings at his feet lit up.
"Yu Tianxin, Level 39 Power Attack War Spirit Master, please teach me!"
"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's secret technique—Dragon Transformation." Liu Yanyang stared at Yu Tianxin's right hand, thinking it might be a good fit for him.
It seems I can go visit the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect when the time comes.
Then, with a surge of spirit power, the Dragon Roar Spear slowly emerged in his right hand. Its silver-white body and platinum-colored tip were encircled by a four-clawed golden dragon.
Four yellow and purple spirit rings lit up beneath his feet.
"Liu Yanyang, level 43 strong attack system war spirit sect, please advise!"
