No one would believe that Yan Di’s students could win the competition. No matter how vicious Luoqiu’s idea was, his strength was obvious to all. After Kehr gave up teaching, Luoqiu had become the strongest mentor of Deathfire Academy, and each of his students was a top student, carefully selected from the entire academy. Whether considering their qualities as a group or as individuals, they were much stronger than those students under Yan Di.
This was the first mentor to teach physical arts. The dean could not have given her the best students from the very beginning. These students were just used for trial purposes. Their qualities were not the same. Compared with the top students like Naken, their potentials and talents were very ordinary.
Obviously, Luoqiu made this bet with Yan Di, trying to find an excuse to force her out of Deathfire Academy.
“Luoqiu, don’t go too far.” Kehr frowned at Luoqiu. He also didn’t believe that Shen Yanxiao would win. Although he recognized Shen Yanxiao’s strength, physical skills could not be acquired overnight. Even if Shen Yanxiao exerted herself to the utmost, it was her students who were going to participate in the competition, after all.
Zhanye and others had just been learning from Shen Yanxiao for a month and had only one more month to learn before the day of the competition. With these two months, it was impossible for them to make a major breakthrough in their physical skills.
Luoqiu sneered, “Kehr, there is no need to be nervous. I think Yan Di is very confident in her students, isn’t that right? Besides, this competition was also demanded by Yan Di herself, it’s not me who proposed it. I think Yan Di should be very sure of her students, since she opened her mouth. But, if Yan Di feels that her students are better kept under the table, it’s alright. I’ll just regard it as a joke.”
Pairs of eyes were staring at Shen Yanxiao; some were watching a good show, and some had unkind emotions.
Shen Yanxiao’s students picked up the unconscious Zhanye and Shile from Naken. Looking at their fallen comrades, the rage in the hearts of these hot-blooded teenagers was burning.
They were itching to fight with Naken and his group. It was just, the stakes were too heavy and they dared not gamble on Shen Yanxiao’s affairs.
Furthermore, even they themselves did not believe that they were capable of defeating them.
Shen Yanxiao let out a chuckle and said to Luoqiu in front of all the students, “Since Mentor Luoqiu wants to play big, then I also can’t lose naturally. Let’s do according to what you said!”
When Shen Yanxiao uttered these words, there was an uproar in the whole classroom. Everyone thought she had gone mad.
How could she agree to such a terrible bet?
“Yan Di, don’t be impulsive.” Kehr was in a hurry to dissuade her. If Yan Di really agreed on Luoqiu’s bet, once the competition was over, no one could change the result anymore. Even the dean could not break it.
Shen Yanxiao smiled and said, “I am not impulsive, I am very calm. A month from now, my students and I will be waiting for the arrival of Mentor Luoqiu and his students in the martial arts arena; by then, the results will naturally be clear.”
Kehr still wanted to speak, but Luoqiu beat him to it as he said, “Sure enough, Yan Di is a very straightforward individual. Then this matter is settled. One month hence, my students and I will come as scheduled.”
“I will be waiting for you.” Shen Yanxiao looked at Luoqiu and then turned to her students.
Shen Yanxiao and Luoqiu made bets in front of so many students that Kehr was powerless to stop it, even if he had the intention to do so.
