Early the next day.

The Martial Arts Arena was buzzing with excitement, after all, this was an exchange match, with one side being Imperial University’s reputedly strongest six freshmen.

Of course, this ’strongest’ excludes Shen Fei.

Who would consider Shen Fei a freshman now, while on the other side is the Heavenly Pride Club’s elites.

Currently, they appear to be of the same age.

Students who get into Imperial University either have a naturally strong talent, often being linked with various organizations that give them access to a wealth of information.

Or they come from prestigious backgrounds.

Even if they’re not from aristocratic families, their ties with numerous organizations make them aware of what the Heavenly Pride Club symbolizes.

The elites here are not to be underestimated.

"It’s a pity Shen Fei is too overpowering, otherwise, seeing all his summoned beasts would be a sight..."

"All summoned beasts? Man, back then in Shencheng City, even the siege was no more than that."

"You’re right."

"Will Shen Fei give his feedback today?"

"Uh, not sure. Probably not, since those elites come from aristocratic families and the Heavenly Pride Club.

They must have tools or abilities to avoid scrutiny..."

The duration of this exchange match is shorter than the freshman competition but has stirred no less discussion than yesterday.

Moreover, due to the exchange match, even those previously uninterested in the freshman competition have shown up today.

Suddenly.

The crowd in the Martial Arts Arena was even larger than yesterday, as amidst the spectators, Xuu Zixu led Ni Yi and others inside.

Since Bai Qingzhao was also considered a challenger, he temporarily followed behind them, as Ni Yi and others wished to converse with Bai Qingzhao.

They wanted to establish some connections, after all, this was a disciple of the Emperor, and a direct disciple of Tier Ten.

If they could establish some connection, it would be desirable, not to mention Bai Qingzhao’s appearance was actually comparable to Su Muyu and Fang Ruxue.

But Bai Qingzhao’s cold, sword-like gaze and aura made Ni Yi and others hesitate.

Xuu Zixu shook his head privately, inexplicably feeling less optimistic about today’s exchange match.

Even though Ni Yi, Ling Xiao, and others who came this year are the strongest five, meticulously trained.

Especially this year, in the so-called ’Golden Era’, where not only are unique professions abundant, but their strength is high.

There are also differences among unique professions.

Ni Yi, Ling Xiao, and others’ professions are quite formidable even among similar types.

Yet, he couldn’t help feeling uneasy.

After all, this exchange match is a double-edged sword, entrusted to suppress Imperial University’s prestige, but if they fail.

It would be a blow to the Heavenly Pride Club as well.

Previously, he felt confident, as since awakening, Ni Yi and others have been earnestly trained by the Heavenly Pride Club.

But then there’s Shen Fei, with eyes that see through everything, coupled with Su Muyu’s surprising strength.

And Tang Yann’s special profession, which can even utilize part of Shen Fei’s summoned beast’s abilities.

Hence, yesterday, he didn’t let Ni Yi and others immediately choose opponents to avoid being seen through by Shen Fei.

"Welcome five elites from the Heavenly Pride Club and Chang’an University’s elite Bai Qingzhao."

"Whoo whoo whoo—!"

"So there’s also Chang’an University’s Bai Qingzhao; she’s well-known there, heard her profession is Sword Immortal.

Moreover, she’s so fervent about battles that she’s also called ’War Sword Immortal’."

"And she’s attractive too, wonder if she has a partner..."

"Even if not, she wouldn’t choose you, right."

"That’s hard to say, who knows..."

"If your home doesn’t have a mirror, you must still relieve yourself often enough..."

...

The audience fell into cheers, while Xuu Zixu led Ni Yi and others to one side of the platform.

On the other side, headed by Shen Fei, surrounded by Su Muyu and others.

"Dragon Emperor."

"No need for formalities, brother."

"Everyone’s a professional, let’s not beat around the bush, who’s going up?"

Xuu Zixu smiled and said, "Let’s start heating things up, Ni Yi, your turn..."

Ni Yi nodded, smiling as he looked at Su Muyu, "Then let’s pick the strongest among you, Su.

Could I have the honor of learning from you?"

Su Muyu frowned, "Speak properly, you’re too oily."

Ni Yi’s expression slightly stiffened, with his status and talent, none of his peers dared speak to him this way.

A trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes, since she was Shen Fei’s wife, she shouldn’t blame me for embarrassing her.

Though Su Muyu’s display yesterday was indeed overwhelmingly powerful for her age, Ni Yi still remained confident.

Shen Fei raised an eyebrow, "Starting with the main event already. Seems the Dragon Emperor has great confidence in this Ni Family person."

"I indeed have some confidence in this."

Xuu Zixu nodded, transforming into a spiritual light to land on the high viewing platform, as did Shen Fei.

At the same time.

Su Muyu and Ni Yi stepped onto the platform, Ni Yi’s movements were rather elegant, albeit with a hint of provocation in his tone.

"We didn’t take the college entrance test then, otherwise second place may not have been you."

...

’Bang!’

Ni Yi’s figure retreated frantically, the massive silver shield condensed before him was crazily cracking in front of the black giant sphere, about to shatter.

And there were exactly four such black giant spheres, violently rotating, continually attacking the shield at a terrifying speed.

"How could your casting speed be so fast!"

Ni Yi was no longer as defiant as before but filled with shock.

Such powerful magic, Su Muyu actually managed to conjure four at once, it was unbelievably extreme.

’Boom boom boom boom—!’

The silver shield barely held for a moment.

Instantly shattered, Ni Yi once again summoned numerous silver lights in his hand, like countless shimmering streams, transforming into a sky around him.

But Su Muyu seemed prepared, the black giant spheres about to pursue exploded instantly.

The streams shattered into powder, and the surroundings plunged into darkness.

Su Muyu calmly declared, "Demon Realm, activate!"

Countless black vapors rose, simultaneous with the appearance of sixteen demon hunting dogs, four demon mages, and four demon walkers.

Charging at Ni Yi.

On the high platform, Xuu Zixu frowned, then looked at Shen Fei with some surprise and said, "I thought this was all Su’s strength."

"It is now her full strength."

Shen Fei smiled.

Xuu Zixu just shook his head quietly, if this were her full strength, he could dismiss being Tier Nine.

Seeing Su Muyu’s relaxed demeanor, thoughts churned, ’Has she nearly seen through all of Ni Yi’s skills, is Shen Fei truly that formidable.’

’And such quick casting speed, seems if there’s a passive skill, or perhaps a capability similar to ’Star Track’ or ’Dharma Seal.’

Xuu Zixu shook his head again, apparently, Ni Yi would need many trump cards to attempt a battle.

"But brother, don’t get too proud too soon, Ni Family has produced Tier Tens, Ni Yi isn’t that straightforward."

Xuu Zixu smiled.

"Hey, Dragon Emperor. How about we make a bet?"

"What are we betting?"

"Just on who will win."

"What’s the stake?"

Shen Fei took out something from the ’Nine Realms’, acquired from the Flaming Celestial Demon Dragon.

"Tier Eight Legendary Equipment Grudge of the Gu Spirit."

"Hmm? Brother, quite a big stake!" Xuu Zixu raised an eyebrow, Tier Eight Legendary Equipment, and it’s a necklace.

It’s a good item even for Tier Nines.

"Just a small thing. As a kind of prize. Dragon Emperor, are you in?"

Shen Fei didn’t care much, knowing he would win anyway.

Actually, he wasn’t much of a gambler, just wanted to act as the ’big shot’ in novels where elites exchange moves as the observers bet.

"Sure."
