Her scream caused the surrounding crowd to quieten down, and everyone looked at Chu Liuyue with various expressions.
Chu Liuyue paused and walked forward.
“Chu Yue!” Luo Shishi came forward to stop her and looked worried. “Why don’t we accompany you—”
“Shishi, do you know who that girl is?” Yin Fan sneered with his eyes filled with warning. “That’s Liu Yintong. She’s ranked 49th on the heavenly doctor list, and she’s also 46th on the warrior list! You can’t offend her! And the person who spoke first—that guy is Gong Sheng. He’s ranked 39th on the warrior list! As for the rest, they’re all quite strong too, and they’re not random characters. We… can’t afford to offend them like this!”
This ranking was definitely already outstanding in Ling Xiao Academy. One had to know that the entire academy only recruited talents from all over the world. It was already very amazing to be able to be accepted into Ling Xiao Academy, let alone these people who had a reputation in the academy.
“But—”
“Senior Brother Luo Yanlin’s ranking is ahead of them, but you need to know that you can only depend on yourself for some things in the academy,” said Yin Fan as he glanced at Chu Liuyue meaningfully.
Luo Shishi wanted to speak further, but Chu Liuyue gave her a reassuring gaze and smiled slightly. “Don’t worry. I know what to do.”
Then, she stretched out her legs and went forward.
Quite a few people looked over.
The mountain peak was especially quiet for a moment.
“Xiao Feng, come over.” Liu Yintong called the red-tailed phoenix.
With an ear-piercing sound, the red figure quickly drew an arc in mid-air.
That red -tailed phoenix had already returned to the front of Liu Yintong, and the fire on its body disappeared silently.
Chu Liuyue walked over and stopped about five steps in front of them.
The two parties entered a stalemate, and it was a weird atmosphere.
Liu Yintong’s gaze first swept across Tuan Zi’s body.
The two parties stood opposite each other at a close distance at this moment, so they naturally could see each other’s situations more clearly. Hence, the few of them—including Liu Yintong—were all looking at Tuan Zi on Chu Liuyue’s shoulders.
Its body was as red as a burning fire, a pure and intense shade. It was clearly much better than Liu Yintong’s fiend. This also proved that Tuan Zi’s bloodline strength was even purer and more intense.
Liu Yintong knitted her brows. Ever since I made an agreement with this red- tailed phoenix, I’ve always felt very proud. After all, not everyone has such good luck. Who knew that this ordinary new student in the academy would actually have a red-tailed phoenix!?And it’s better than mine!
It would be a wonder if Liu Yintong could feel good about it.
“Greetings, Senior Brothers, Senior Sister. I am Chu Yue.” Chu Liuyue spoke first and politely greeted the few of them. She not only seemed respectable and humble, but she also didn’t look nervous at all.
“So you’re Chu Yue.” Liu Yintong outrageously sized Chu Liuyue up in a teasing manner as if she were checking a cheap product.
Chu Liuyue pretended not to see her gaze as she still seemed calm and collected. “I came here not long ago. Senior Brothers and Senior Sister, do guide me along.”
“Hah! You’re a kid that knows how to speak!” At the side, Gong Sheng clapped his hands and smiled delightfully. “This red-tailed phoenix is quite interesting! Normally, Ah Tong is always flaunting hers. Now that another one has come with much difficulty, why don’t we let them battle each other?”
Chu Liuyue’s expression changed slightly. “Senior Brothers and Senior Sister are all the cream of the crop. I wouldn’t dare to go overboard.”
“You don’t want to compete?” Gong Sheng’s words were very direct, and it would seem rather critical at many times. “Tsk! Ah Tong, look, your junior brother doesn’t even want to compete with you!”
Chu Liuyue glanced at Gong Sheng. This was clearly done on purpose.
As expected, Liu Yintong’s face turned cold. She stared at Chu Liuyue closely. “Why? Do you think that your legendary fiend will definitely win, so you’re too lazy to compete with me?”
Chu Liuyue was speechless. Are these fewpeople out of their minds?
However, she didn’t say it out loud and even hid her expression really well. “Senior Brothers, Senior Sister, you’ve misunderstood. All of you are capable people on the Qing Yun Ranking, while I’ve just come to the academy. I am lacking in many areas compared to all of you. I wouldn’t dare to compare with Senior Sister.”
“You don’t know what’s good for you if you disagree,” interrupted Liu Yintong in frustration. “You definitely know the red-tailed phoenix clan’s rules. Since this is so, just let them fight it out and see who the winner will be.”
I’ve already given the otherparty sufficient face by taking the initiative to invite him. Ifhe still dares to reject me in public…
Chu Liuyue felt a vague coldness in the air, and she blinked. “Since you insist, I will respectfully oblige. But…”
“But what? Stop being wishy-washy!” Liu Yintong seemed to be really impatient.
“Hey… hang on!” Gong Sheng suddenly interrupted and smiled at the duo. He said, “Ah Tong, if it’s just a simple match, it’ll be too boring! Why don’t we bet on something?”
“What kind of bad intentions do you have?” Liu Yintong glanced at him in contempt.
Gong Sheng didn’t seem to care about her gaze as he continued smiling. “Look, this red-tailed phoenix of yours clearly has a weaker bloodline power than that of Junior Brother Chu Yue. But you’re stronger than him, so the strength that your legendary fiend can unleash is naturally greater than his.”
“In other words, both of you have your own advantages. It’s really not easy to say who will win. If I were to speak… Why don’t we use three drops of the respective legendary fiend’s blood as a bet? Whoever loses will take out three drops of the legendary fiend’s blood and give it to the other party!’
The crowd instantly fell silent. Even if they didn’t have a legendary fiend, they knew clearly what these three drops of blood meant.
Every legendary fiend had a limited amount of blood with bloodline power in their bodies! Giving three drops away just like that was akin to giving their bloodline strength to the other party!
“If it were other matches, there wouldn’t be much meaning to compete like this. However… these two are red-tailed phoenixes!” Gong Sheng’s eyes sparkled with excitement.
Since they were of the same clan, it meant that they could absorb the other party’s bloodline power!
An idea surfaced in Liu Yintong’s mind. She didn’t think of it in the beginning, but after hearing Gong Sheng’s words, she was quite tempted. IfI can snatch the other party’s bloodline power and merge it into my own legendary fiend’s body… My legendary fiend can definitely overtake the other one!
“Okay! It’s settled then!” She looked at Chu Liuyue. “Chu Yue, do you agree?”
Even though it was a question, she wasn’t seeking his opinion. It was clear that they didn’t allow Chu Liuyue to reject them.
Chu Liuyue squinted her eyes slightly and looked at the water spouting out from the fountain. Then, she suddenly smiled. “Sure, but I have a request. I want to add on to the bet..”
