Even though they knew that their opponent was a first-year student, they thought that he would be around fifteen to sixteen years old. However, that brat looked to be approximately thirteen to fourteen years old?
Shangguan Xiao’s expression darkened. His past defeat would be a stain throughout his life.
“Who is the trio behind him?” Fang Qiu did not have much of a reaction. He was more curious about the trio who came together with Shen Yanxiao.
“Qi Xia from the Magus Division, Yan Yu of the Priest Division and Yang Xi from the Knight Division,” Shangguan Xiao said.
“They are not from the Herbalist Division? Why are they here then?” Fang Qiu was confused. All divisions had their own rules and regulations. No matter the conflicts within any division, the students and teachers from other divisions were not allowed to interfere.
“They are Tang Nazhi and Shen Jue’s friends,” Shangguan Xiao explained.
“I’ve heard of that guy named Qi Xia. There’s a rumor that he is extremely talented in magic, but even until now, no one knows his current level.” One of the students from the Yates Academy had heard of Qi Xia’s name as he spoke up oddly.
“Magus? So what? This is a competition between herbalists, so it’s none of their business,” Another student said disapprovingly.
Shen Yanxiao and the trio’s appearance had resulted in a commotion in the room.
Yet, the four of them seemed oblivious to the noises as they walked straight into the room.
Luo Fan smiled and puffed his chest as he looked at the petite Shen Yanxiao with an evil glint in his eyes.
“You’re finally here. I thought that you’d be afraid and would decide not to come,” Luo Fan spoke in a provocative tone.
Shen Yanxiao glanced at him with indifference.
“Afraid? Are you referring to yourself?”
Luo Fan’s expression changed, but he recovered soon enough.
“Your friend should have left the Saint Laurent Academy, right? Honestly, he should have left ages ago. The profession of an herbalist is not something any dog or cat could do. Any garbage should stop their wishful thinking of becoming one.” Luo Fan’s words had caused the Saint Laurent Academy’s students to gasp.
Even if one were to disregard his talents, Tang Nazhi was still a young master from the Black Tortoise family. Only Luo Fan from the Blue Moon Dynasty would dare to humiliate someone from the five great aristocratic families in public like that.
Shen Yanxiao narrowed her eyes, and a cold smile curled on her lips.
“Is that so? Do you think that you’re suited as an herbalist?” Shen Yanxiao’s childish voice had a trace of coldness in it. When she spoke, it was as if an invisible pressure had shrouded the entire room.
Luo Fan quirked his eyebrow and appeared confident.
“Naturally. I am not even 20-years old, and I’m already an advanced herbalist. It’s a huge contrast compared to some garbage.”
Shen Yanxiao sneered, and a sinister glint flickered in her eyes.
“Very well, remember your words today. Very soon, I will let you know that you… do not deserve to become an herbalist!”
Their words were like swords that clashed, and it had caused the atmosphere in the room to become tense.
Everyone kept their gazes fixed on both of them. The other participant, Shangguan Xiao, had been thrown to the back of their minds.
“Be careful of what you say, and don’t embarrass yourself. Little brat, you’re still too inexperienced. Don’t assume that you can be arrogant just because you have some skills. I’ve seen many who are like you, overconfident but incapable. Unfortunately, all of them had miserable endings,” Luo Fan ruthlessly commented. He thought that Shen Jue was an eyesore. Be it his personality or his identity as Ye Qing’s student; he was annoyed with him!
He must be eliminated!
“Oh? Then let’s see if it’s my miserable ending or your bitter finish that would invoke more pity.” Shen Yanxiao revealed a lofty smile.
