The students watched with bated breath, thinking that no emperor would take this sitting down.
Emperors were used to dominating and intimidating everyone else. To be provoked in this manner by a student from Repentance Institution? Most emperors would kill the guy with one slap!
âStudent Li, weâre neither here today for face or to compete on who has the sharpest tongueâ¦â Goldpython True Emperor slowly said.
His start impressed some of the students. One of them stated: âThatâs an emperor for you, so benevolent and forgiven. His temperament far exceeded his foe.â
Many nodded in agreement. Another sneered: âThat Li guy just looks shallow and vulgar in comparison.â
âWeâre here today for the peacebringer magpies.â Goldpython went on; his eyes fixated on the nest. To be specific, the four eggs inside.
âThe nest has four eggs so thereâs no reason for you to monopolize them all. Iâm satisfied with one, so Student Li, I hope you can do us this favor.â Goldpython said.
âYes.â Stonecarver nodded as well. They were here for the eggs, not to fight over face.
âThe three of us will take one each, you can take the last egg along with the two magpies. We wonât make it difficult for you.â He added.
âHard to argue with this.â The students nearby agreed, finding this suggestion logical and reasonable.
âThatâs why we canât compare to the emperors. Their personality and characters are great.â One person sighed and praised.
âOne each? Such wishful thinking. Iâm taking all of them.â Li Qiye looked at them and smiled.
âHmph, he is just too overbearing.â One student scowled after hearing this. The crowd didnât appreciate this lack of flexibility.
âThis Li guy is given face but wonât accept it, a person like him wonât have a good end.â Another student added.
The trio didnât expect this response, especially the two emperors. Their expression gradually turned cold.
They were influential not just in the academy but in all of Immortal Lineage. But now, Li Qiye treated them like air. How could they swallow this anger?
Even Buddha had a line that couldnât be crossed, let alone them.
âYouâre too arrogant, brat!â The centaur god bellowed.
He lost his cool first due to the previous humiliating defeat. Others just didnât know about it. Now he had another reason to feud with Li Qiye.
âAnd? You must be mad about how I seared your butt into fried horse meat the last time we met. Itâs quite a rare meal.â Li Qiye smiled and said.
The centaur god trembled with rage; his face turned red. He needed to run for his life from that flame previously but only his men knew about it. Li Qiye revealing this in public was akin to adding salt to the wound.
âLittle animal, do you dare to take on my arrows?!â He bellowed.
He has never been afraid of anyone before. As an Amaranthine Eternal, he was actually stronger than these two emperors. This allowed him to do whatever he wanted, wherever. Nevertheless, this junior kept on disrespecting him.
âYou?â Li Qiye looked at him and said: âYouâre barely a Ceaseless Eternal, stop thinking that youâre an Amaranthine.â
âYou!â The centaur god turned even redder. He eventually said: âMy speed is at the amaranthine level!â He stressed the last few words for emphasis.
âOh, so only in terms of speed and you simply lied. Do all the members of Divine Beast Legion like to boast like you?â Li Qiye smiled.
The centaur god had no response, stuck in a tough position.
His power wasnât actually at the amaranthine level. People praised him for having this level of speed. Eventually, the rumor became exaggerated and some started spreading that he was indeed an Amaranthine Eternal.
He didnât bother correcting this false rumor so everyone eventually took it as facts.
Li Qiye once again embarrassed him with another revelation. He enjoyed being called an Amaranthine Eternal all this time but this ended up coming back to bite him.
âBrat, do you dare to take me on?!â The centaur godâs bow became bright with a ferocious aura - clearly a capable weapon.
All eyes were on Li Qiye. It looked like this centaur god wasnât a real Amaranthine but his archery abilities should live up to its fame.
âWhy not? I will just stand here, no weapon, and you wonât be able to hit me once.â Li Qiye didnât care at all.
âIs he crazy?â The spectators became slack-jawed.
Zhou Qiushiâs group was startled too. The centaur godâs archery has been proven multiple times, unlike his cultivation level.
His speed and techniques were impeccable so Li Qiye might be too rash with this challenge.
âHmph, I donât think he has ever seen the centaur godâs archery in action before.â One student sneered.
An older student added: âHe should be able to stop the arrows with his sword but just standing there? Thatâs suicidal.â
âItâs his own fault for wanting to die.â The first guy replied.
âI see, Iâve been around for so long and this is the first time someone dares to let me fire freely! Letâs see just how amazing you are! If I canât shoot you down, I will leave and never oppose you again.â The centaur god angrily smiled.
âWho knows if you will be able to leave.â Li Qiye said.
âVery well, I will fire three shots. Survive if you can.â The centaur god shouted.
âAfter three shots, I will return one to you. Survive if you can.â Li Qiye casually said.
âFine!â The centaur god relied on his archery since his debut. He considered himself to be a peerless archer, hence his title - Centaur God of Archery.
Others could look down on his cultivation but not his archery.
The two emperors were fixated on this match. They wanted to see the extent of Li Qiyeâs abilities and if it was enough to back up his arrogance.
In their opinion, if the guy only relied on his sword to be arrogant, then he wasnât a real threat. This match was a good chance for them to carefully observe his true power.
âAre you ready, brat? Iâm about to fire!â The centaur god shouted.
Despite their feud, he was still an important character who does everything openly instead of relying on a sneak attack.
