Wang Jue frowned in dissatisfaction. "Why, Second Brother?"
"It's not that I'm looking down on you, but you are really not his opponent." Wang Jun said without giving further explanation.
Wang Jue was frustrated hearing this. He didn't understand why his brother kept saying this, but he didn't dare to refute him. "Understood."
At this moment, Yun Lintian appeared nearby the training ground entrance. When he saw the crowd look at him with various expressions, a wry smile emerged on his face.
"Thank you, junior brother. I've earned a lot because of you." In a flash, Wu Qingcheng arrived beside Yun Lintian and gave him a thumb up.
"Fourth Sister." Yun Lintian greeted and turned to look at his record on the stele. Seeing his name on top with almost eleven hours, he let out a helpless sigh, did not know what to say anymore.
"Why are you unhappy? Isn't it worth celebrating? You broke the record, you know?" Wu Qingcheng asked. She pointed at the students nearby and said further. "Look at them. Do you know how many of them want to be like you?"
Yun Lintian shook his head and said nothing. It would be a lie if he didn't have a sense of accomplishment after breaking the record. It was just that he didn't want to become a center of attention . It would be better if he could choose not to show his record on the stele.
"Congratulations, Brother Yun." At this moment, Chu Heng, Chu Mi, and Yang Chen walked toward Yun Lintian.
Yun Lintian smiled faintly in reply and looked at Yang Chen. "Are you alright now?"
Yang Chen's face was still pale, but there was no danger to his life now. He nodded his head. "I'm fine now."
Yun Lintian nodded and turned to look at Wang Jue in the distance. Coincidentally, Wang Jue was also looking at him. Their gazes met, and everyone could clearly perceive an intense hostility between them. They believed the fight would break out soon.
"Fourth Sister, is there a life and death duel here? I would like to ask him for it." Yun Lintian said. He deliberately raised his voice to let everyone here.
Wu Qingcheng's eyes lit up. The opportunity to earn money had come again. However, she shook her head sadly in the next moment. "The academy prevents students from killing each other. There's no something like that."
"I see. What a pity. Then there's no point in fighting with him. I don't get anything from defeating him, anyway." Yun Lintian said regretfully.
The crowd glanced at each other and turned toward Wang Jue. They wanted to see how Wang Jue reacted to this.
Wang Jue was pissed by Yun Lintian's words. This was simply insulting him. He stared at Yun Lintian coldly and said. "Heh, aren't you the one who keeps avoiding me for all this time? And now you have the audacity to say this? Don't you think it's ridiculous?"
The students couldn't help but agree with Wang Jue.
Yun Lintian responded with a smile. "First of all, I'm not avoiding you, but rather I don't want to waste my time playing a childish game with you. I don't see what I can get from this… Just because you want to fight me, I have to obediently accept it? Now, this is what it called ridiculous."
Everyone subconsciously nodded their head along with Yun Lintian's words. They suddenly realized Yun Lintian did nothing wrong regarding this matter, and he shouldn't be labeled a coward. In any case, it was his right to accept or decline the challenge.
Yun Lintian said further. "Secondly, I don't remember I have ever interacted with you before. Why did you keep provoking me?"
Wang Jue snorted and responded. "Why? Isn't it because Principal Tian keeps mentioning your good deeds? I just want to know if it's true as he said. I believe everyone here also has the same doubt as mine."
Yun Lintian spread his arms. "Why don't you go ask Principal Tian then? I, too, am curious whether I have such a great power as he said." He looked at the crowd and continued. "Since I entered this academy, I had only met Principal Tian once during the end of the second test. I don't know why he speaks about me as if I was a world savior… Ask yourself, do you believe I have such an ability?"
The crowd glanced at each other speechlessly. That was right. Did he truly as powerful as Principal Tian said? Wasn't it too exaggerated?
"Are you trying to say Principal Tian lies to us?" A student with sharp eyes asked.
Yun Lintian could see this student was one of Wang Jue's lackeys with a glance. He shrugged his shoulders. "That's what you said yourself. I didn't say that."
Without giving this student a chance to say further, Yun Lintian quickly changed the topic. "It's fine if some of you believe I have that kind of ability. But you, Wang Jue. As a young master from the mighty Wang clan of the Central Continent, how could you believe in this?"
"Isn't because of this that I want to challenge you? I don't believe you have such an ability. Do you dare to prove it?" Wang Jue retorted in almost an instant.
Yun Lintian hurriedly responded as if he feared Wang Jue would retract his words. "Alright then. Let's go to the arena now."
Wang Jue and everyone were stunned, looking at Yun Lintian dumbly. How come he accepted the challenge now? And he responded so fast. Was this really someone who didn't want to fight with Wang Jue for all this time?
"Idiot!" Wang Jun immediately scolded his younger brother. It was obviously a trap Yun Lintian set up for Wang Jue to jump in. After all of this nonsense, Yun Lintian was clearly waiting for Wang Jue to bring the challenging matter up again.
Hearing his brother's voice, Wang Jue immediately realized the mistake he had just made. Now, if he refused to fight with Yun Lintian, he would become a coward instead.
"Junior brother, I must say. Your spouting nonsense ability is really impressive! This Wang Jue didn't even know when he fell into your trap." Wu Qingcheng gave Yun Lintian another thumb up.
"Thank you for your compliment.." Yun Lintian chuckled.
