Chapter 1133 Fight for Who

This thunderous voice sounded-it pierced through the air!

Upon hearing this, the crowd looked up in shock. Someone actually wants to challenge Rong Xiu?!

When they saw the incoming person, the elders revealed looks of understanding. So it’s him… Then, this matter isn’t weird.

Some of the old students also recognized this person, and they gasped. “Yan Shuli?! He’s out of seclusion?!”

Quite a few people suddenly recovered their senses.

“Yan Shuli? The person in the third position on the warrior ranking?!”

“That’s right! He hasn’t come out in a long while; I heard that he was cultivating in seclusion the entire time. I didn’t expect him to appear today!”

“What’s so weird about that? Didn’t you hear that he came to challenge Rong Xiu?”

“There’ll be a good show to watch now!”

Yan Shuli traveled through the air and held a long silver spear in his hands.

At the top of the silver spear, the dark blue lines intersected and gathered above, forming the sharp dark-blue blade. From afar, it looked like a silver and blue serpent with much suppression.

He was wearing a black outfit, and he looked pretty tall and muscular. His face was distinct, and his skin was tanned. His pair of narrow eyes were very sharp like blades.

If one exchanged glances with him, it was as if his vision could directly pierce through one’s heart and see the depths of that person’s heart.

At this point, his gaze was glued to Rong Xiu at the top of Dong Huang Clock Tower! Even though he was expressionless, the depths of his eyes were filled with unconcealable ambition and fighting intent!

Everyone could feel that he desperately wanted to challenge Rong Xiu! His bodily aura seemed even sharper than his spear!

Some people were born to fight, and Yan Shuli was clearly such a person!

Nothing mattered to him anymore. At this very moment, his mind was only filled with one thought: Beat Rong Xiu!

Countless pairs of eyes looked toward Rong Xiu

-curiosity, shock, expectations, nervousness. Clearly, the crowd really wanted to see Rong Xiu’s reaction.

They also wanted to see how capable Rong Xiu, the number one on the Qing Yun Ranking, was!

One had to know that Rong Xiu hadn’t been in the academy for the past few years! Now that he suddenly appeared, everyone naturally wanted to personally witness if he was as capable as the rumors claimed.

However, Elder Bo Yan spoke first. “Shuli, Rong Xiu came back to handle other matters today, not to-“

“I accept your challenge.” Before Elder Bo Yan could finish his sentence, Rong Xiu interrupted him from the side.

His demonically handsome face looked nonchalant, and there even seemed to be faint smiling intent in his eyes as if he didn’t take this matter to heart.

Elder Bo Yan hesitated for a moment. “Rong Xiu, aren’t you busy with-“

“This won’t take up too much of my time,” said Rong Xiu lightly with a smile. Arrogant—this thought flashed across the crowd’s minds in unison! Does he mean that he doesn’t need to use much effort and time to go against Yan Shuli?! He doesn’t even take Yan Shuli seriously! But even if Yan Shuli’s ranking on the Qing Yun Ranking is lower than his, he is still legitimately third! Other than the name that mysteriously disappeared in between, the two of them are only one rank apart! Besides, Yan Shuli has been cultivating diligently in the academy for the past few years. Rumors have it that he can already put up a fight against some elders. However, he doesn’t really show up normally and does things discreetly, so everyone isn’t very familiar with him.

However, Rong Xiu was still too arrogant to say this in public.

Yan Shuli didn’t look angered at all as the fighting intent in his eyes burned even more. “Okay! We’ll battle once and for all!” Whoos.h.!.+

He flung his wrist, and his silver spear drew a beautiful arc in the air before it pointed straight at Rong Xiu! “Go ahead!”

Chu Liuyue watched everything from below. In actual fact, she was also very curious about how strong Rong Xiu was.

They had battled a few times, but she could clearly feel that Rong Xiu had just suppressed his abilities to a standard slightly above hers. In this manner, every time she thought she had hopes of winning, she would always be a little short of it.

One just had to think to know how scary a person who could control his abilities so perfectly was!

Right at this moment, Rong Xiu’s figure flashed, and he already appeared in front of Yan Shuli!

The two of them looked at each other.

For some reason, the vast Qing Ming Square suddenly became silent. The atmosphere instantly became tense!

“I haven’t seen Rong Xiu battle in a while…”

The people standing in Dong Huang Clock Tower looked over.

A young woman dazedly stared at the scene in mid-air as she muttered, “The last time I saw him fight, it was still with—”.

As if she thought of something, she suddenly fell silent.

“Rong Xiu rarely fights with people. Those who have tried to challenge him basically all gave up after fighting with him once, and they have never fought with him again. Only this Yan Shuli hasn’t given up. If you think about it in this way, his courage is commendable!” a youngster smiled and said from the side.

“Now that you mention it, this is already Yan Shuli’s fifth time challenging him, right? Rong Xiu is also weird. He actually agreed.”

Actually, in their eyes, Rong Xiu didn’t have the patience or mood to accept someone’s multiple challenges.

“Haha! Other than the first time, aren’t the remaining times because Yan Shuli fought with that person, so Rong Xiu agreed to his challenge and beat him three times consecutively?”

The moment he said that, the surroundings quietened down. Everyone glanced at the youngster talking with a strange expression.

That youngster then realized that he had said something wrong as he gasped and hurriedly covered his mouth. At the same time, he looked at Elder Bo Yan and the rest rather nervously. Perhaps it was because they were a distance away, or the elders weren’t focusing on this side, but they didn’t have much of a reaction.

“Hu…” That youngster sighed deeply but still had lingering fears. I actually forgot about this taboo!

“Hmph, you can’t say that,” said Wei Xiping coldly all of a sudden, breaking the silence. “I hear that Rong Xiu has been very busy these few years and barely spends much time in the Sky-Cloud Empire. Who knows what he was up to? Anyway, he definitely didn’t focus on cultivating. On the other hand, Yan Shuli has always been cultivating painstakingly. Perhaps there was a distance between the two of them previously, but now… It’s unclear who is strong and who is weak!”
