Chapter 25, Feel free to try
After Xia Yuqing took the stage, the situation did not change much. There were still many disciples continuously challenging Xia Yuqing on the fourth stage. The eyes of all the disciples in Class Four became more solemn because today's martial arts competition had a slightly unusual taste. In previous annual competitions, each class would have a disciple occupying a top ten position. Although the classes would challenge each other's martial arts platforms, they would show mercy and not specifically target each other. However, today, it was evident that Class Four was being targeted. It was not only the disciples from Class Six but also disciples from several other classes who began to target the fourth stage. Within just fifteen minutes, five disciples had already challenged Xia Yuqing in succession.
"Teacher, we are being targeted." I hurriedly ran to Aunt Mei's side, feeling anxious. If this continues, not only will Class 4's disciples not be able to challenge other martial arts platforms, it's even uncertain if we can defend the fourth platform," I said. "I know," Aunt Mei said with a cold gaze towards the fourth platform. "But the other party hasn't violated any rules. They have chosen to challenge us autonomously, and there is no problem with that. Even if disciples from the other nine classes target us, it doesn't break any rules." Aunt Mei said calmly. "Then won't we lose?" I asked, puzzled. "If we have the belief in victory, why would we necessarily lose?" Aunt Mei confidently looked at Xia Yuqing. In the short time we were talking, Xia Yuqing had already defeated another disciple.
“别小看了这丫头，她可不弱。”林飞宇虚弱的坐在边上，翘着二郎腿，大大咧咧的说道。我听了他的话，目光放在那个浑身缠绕雷电的少女身上，没错，我曾经和她交过手，那是在很久以前了，那个时候的夏雨晴，实力就极为强大，现在只会更强，很多人都有一个误区，那就是女子不如男子，这是一个似乎很自然但是并不正确的思维，以性别判断对方的实力，不仅错误，而且也是对女性的一种不尊重的表现，要知道性别，并不能决定一个人的成败，很显然，挑战夏雨晴的那些男弟子，都是这种自以为是的傻瓜，以为自己是男性，装作彬彬有礼的样子，每一个在战斗前都会表现的十分绅士，表示自己不会出重手，然后每一个都是被夏雨晴打的灰头土脸的下台。
Both teams have been competing for nearly one hour, with half of the time remaining. Similarly, there are not many disciples left in each class. However, I have noticed that these remaining disciples are surprisingly strong in terms of their abilities.
"Stop researching there. In this kind of martial arts competition, each class will definitely keep a few talented disciples as the finale to make a comeback and win the victory in the later stages," Lin Feiyu said while biting into a spirit fruit that he somehow managed to get. He looked at me as if I were an idiot. "In terms of strength, Xia Yuqing should be in the first place in our class, and you can also rank in the top three. Why don't we learn from them and let the strongest ones go last?" "I like what you're saying, Nanxiong. Our strength is not to be underestimated, and that's possible. As for why I'm going first, isn't it to share some of the pressure for you, kid?" I had a face full of black lines... Share the pressure... Somehow, it feels like the pressure just got bigger. "He's not as strong as you," Aunt Mei overheard our conversation and said without even turning her head. Lin Feiyu nearly choked on the spirit fruit when he heard that, but since Aunt Mei was the one saying it, he dared not argue. He could only continue biting into the spirit fruit with an impatient look on his face. "And then it's you, and after that, you." Aunt Mei started naming one disciple after another, assigning them to guard the martial arts arena in the following battles. "Jiang Yunnan, you're going last." I nodded in satisfaction. Very well, I'll be the finale. It seems this woman knows my strength. "He's too weak. You guys are enough to handle the fight," Aunt Mei said to the disciples next to her. Very well, I've been looked down upon. I snatched the spirit fruit from Lin Feiyu's mouth and sat down on the side, biting into it angrily.
After being challenged by twenty-one disciples, Xia Yuqing signaled for the disciples from the fourth class to go up, and she slowly walked down herself. "Teacher," she wanted to explain something, but Aunt Mei just nodded and said, "You did well, you worked hard." Xia Yuqing bit her lip, feeling somewhat guilty as she sat aside. Lin Feiyu quickly ran over, bringing tea and food. "You worked hard, Sister Yuqing. Well done, well done. You truly deserve to be the top disciple of our fourth class," Lin Feiyu said obsequiously, feeling a sense of accomplishment every time he saw Xia Yuqing looking angry. "If you focus on practicing diligently, you can do even better than you are now," Xia Yuqing ignored Lin Feiyu and said seriously. Instead of joking around with him, she looked intently at the fourth arena where the battle was gradually becoming intense.
Another half an hour passed, leaving less than half an hour until the end of the competition. Almost all disciples from Class Four had participated in battles. However, the disciple currently standing on Arena Four was not from Class Four, but Liu Zhen. Seeing that there were hardly any remaining fighters from Class Four, Liu Zhen made a move. With his strong power and defense, he defeated six disciples from Class Four in a row. After defeating another male disciple from Class Four, Liu Zhen smirked and waved at me, saying, "Come on, Nan Shao. It seems like everyone from your class except you has fought already. If you lose too, then your entire class will be defeated. Right now, both Arena Six and Arena Four are occupied by us, Class Six. It's a win-win situation, embarrassing for you." At this moment, many disciples and instructors from Class Four, Class Five, and Class Six had their eyes on me. Indeed, if I also lost, as long as Class Six stood firm, they would achieve a double victory, and Class Four would not have a single disciple among the top ten winners. But why did I have to listen to this arrogant Liu Zhen?
Activating my spiritual power, I unleash the Aurora and harness the power of lightning. In an instant, I strike the disciple on Arena 6, sending him flying. His body is engulfed in purple lightning, causing him to convulse even as he lands below the platform. I land steadily on the platform, and behind me, a faint shadow of a thunderous dragon emerges. Faint growls echo through the air. I glance at the disciples from Class 6 below, my arms surrounded by thunder, purple electricity crackling around me. Provocatively, I look towards Liu Zhen and say, "You can have number four, I'll take number six. Anyone interested can come and give it a try."
