Chapter 1132 Dare to Battle!

Chu Liuyue had a strange feeling.

There were a total of four lists for the Qing Yun Ranking. Rong Xiu was number one for the Armory Refinement Master list and the warrior

list.

That mysterious student took the top position for the other two lists-heavenly doctor and Xuan Master. Without even thinking, the one that can compete with Rong Xiu would definitely be formidable. The director and the elders should love such an amazing student to death, but why did they purposely erase that person’s name?

From how Elder Bo Yan and the rest treated Rong Xiu, she could tell that they were especially kind and gentle toward talented and outstanding students. But only this person…

Chu Liuyue recalled what she heard from Zhong Xun earlier. Could the person whose name was erased actually be the director’s disciple?

Chu Liuyue sized the Qing Yun Ranking up. Suddenly, she was dazed slightly. I almost forgot something. My name doesn’t seem to be on the Qing Yun Ranking!

Of course, Chu Liuyue wasn’t thinking of her current ‘Chu Yue’ name but her previous name at Ling Xiao Academy.

Since I wanted to overtake Rong Xiu’s name on the Qing Yun Ranking, I should have the capabilities back then. At the very least, I should be on the Qing Yun Ranking, right? However, it isn’t there.

Chu Liuyue checked a few times, but she didn’t see her own name. Then… Maybe I didn’t use my real name back then?!

Chu Liuyue’s gaze landed on the space where the erased name was on the Qing Yun Ranking for quite some time.

An outrageous and bold thought surfaced in her mind, but she quickly suppressed it. Not talking about others, one has to be a legendary warrior to be in the top twenty for the warrior list alone. However, I wasn’t I wasn’t even that when I was at my peak in the past. Thus, such a guess seems ridiculous.

Right at this moment, a loud voice came from the crowd. “I, Li Ziming, will challenge the hundredth-ranking person on the Qing Yun Ranking-Sun Xiao!” Chu Liuyue followed the direction of the voice and looked over.

The person talking was a muscular and tanned youth. He seemed nervous and anxious, but he couldn’t conceal the agitation in his eyes.

Being on the Qing Yun Ranking was the biggest affirmation of a student’s capabilities. Many people had this as their goal, so they kept working hard and cultivated painstakingly, hoping that they could make it onto the list one day.

Of course, they wouldn’t dare to take it easy even if they were on the list. This was because they had the risk of being dragged down at any moment. Like now-once someone was on the list, there would be people challenging them every time it was the beginning of the month.

One had to know that unless there was some special situation, the people on the Qing Yun Ranking couldn’t reject anyone when they were challenged at the beginning of the month. If not, it would be deemed as them surrendering.

Of course, if a few people wanted to challenge the same person, these few people had to fight it out first before the strongest one could duel against the person on the Qing Yun Ranking. And most of the people on the Qing Yun Ranking wanted to attain a higher ranking. Hence, those with lower ranks would challenge the higher-ranked ones.

But just from the warrior side alone, nobody dared to challenge the top three warriors in the past few years.

The ranks of the few people behind this trio regularly changed, and their capabilities were around the same. But as if they had a tacit agreement, nobody willingly challenged the ones at the top.

Not to mention Rong Xiu—who was first-or the mysterious person that had their name erased in second place, nobody even dared to challenge the third on the list. This was so even when the person in third place had been in the academy all along.

All in all, those few people at the top few ranks were like mountains. Countless people wanted to surpass them, but it was already very hard for them to harbor such hopes. Even the few who had hopes of surpassing them didn’t dare to take action recklessly, let alone the others below.

Li Ziming and Sun Xiao’s duel was about to begin really soon.

Then, other people started challenging each other continuously.

Qing Ming Square was huge, and it was more than enough to contain these people going against each other at the same time. Besides, the elders were taking control of the situation from the side, so they didn’t need to worry.

The challenge quickly started on the Xuan Master’s side.

In comparison, the heavenly doctor’s side was much quieter. On the one hand, there were very few heavenly doctors. On the other hand, everyone had a rough inkling of each other’s capabilities when they pill bet in usual times.

If they didn’t have the confidence to win, they wouldn’t challenge at all.

After a while, only a dozen or so people stepped out from the heavenly doctor’s side to challenge.

As for the Armory Refinement Master’s side… There was no point in talking about it.

Chu Liuyue even felt that as long as one had some slight talent in Armory Refinement, they would be able to get on the list.

“Chu Yue? Come! Watch more and learn more. It’ll be your turn in a few months!” called Elder Wan Zheng.

Chu Liuyue walked over and obediently stood at the side.

There were a total of eight pill production matches occurring simultaneously in front of her.

Chu Liuyue was familiar with some of them, these few days, she had been pill betting at the mountain peaks in the academy, so she knew quite a few people.

“Kid, who do you think will win that match?” Elder Wan Zheng raised his chin and asked softly.

Chu Liuyue’s gaze flashed slightly. “Mentor, do you want to pill bet with me?”

Elder Wan Zheng was speechless. Has this kid gone nuts from earning points?!

But seeing the serious look on that youngster’s face, Elder Wan Zheng realized that the latter wasn’t joking. He really wants to win points!

“You just came to the academy, and you have plenty of time to earn points. Why are you so anxious? I was just asking for your opinion…”

Before Elder Wan Zheng could finish talking, he saw that youngster smile slightly. “Mentor, the academy seems to only ban pill betting at the end of the month but not at the beginning, right?”

Elder Wan Zheng’s eyelids twitched.

“I’ve heard that some people will also pill bet around this period. Honestly, quite a few people have already come to ask for my opinions…” Chu Liuyue seemed to be in a difficult spot. “Do you think I should say it or not…”

“I’ll give you points when we go back!” Elder Wan Zheng couldn’t help but shout. Why couldn’t I tell earlier that this kid had such tricks up his sleeves? He seemed obedient and mature, but now, he behaves quite differently than expected…

Chu Liuyue then smiled in satisfaction. Her eyes curved up, and they sparkled. “I knew you were the best, Mentor!”

However, this smile made Elder Wan Zheng’s eyes twitch. “Y-you-“

Why do I suddenly feel like I was tricked?! Also, this feeling seems eerily familiar…

But before he could think about it carefully, Chu Liuyue had already turned around to look at the competition venue. She crossed her arms and held her chin as if she were in deep thought. “I feel that this match should be…”

The sun shone down on him, and the youngster’s clear face looked pure and harmless. When he was thinking seriously, he was especially silent, and there was a special atmosphere around him.

Elder Wan Zheng felt that he had thought too much.

At this time, an ear-piercing sound was heard! “Rong Xiu! Do you dare to fight?!”
