Chapter 153: Chapter 42 Long Shiyou

In the Ancient Forest, a group of around a dozen students were resting. Among the students, both male and female, they were led by a handsome young man. Dressed in white, with a tall and slender figure, this strikingly good-looking man was named Long Shiyou, acclaimed as the most talented of the new students and a young Heavenly Pride.

The team formed by Long Shiyou consisted entirely of experts.

If Lin Feng had been there, he would have certainly recognized a few people. Among them was his good friend from Jialan Academy, Xiao Yafei, and in addition, there was Xuanyuan Zhan.

“Swoosh.”

A figure swept in.

This was a slim, young student, incredibly agile. His name was Wu Ming; he was the scout for Long Shiyou’s team.

...

“Wu Ming is back,” said a student.

“Something big has happened outside, creating quite a stir,” Wu Ming said.

“Oh? What happened?” Long Shiyou asked.

All eyes turned to Wu Ming.

“One of the Inner Academy’s top five teams, led by Wei Li, has been defeated by a group of freshmen!” Wu Ming took a deep breath before he spoke.

“What? Is this news true?”

“Could it be a rumor?”

“It can’t be possible, can it? Apart from our team, could there actually be another team that could contend against the top five teams of the older students?”

These senior students shook their heads in disbelief, one after another.

Clearly, it was hard for them to believe this was true.

The members of Long Shiyou’s team were the cream of the crop from the Nine Great Academies, assembled only after gathering the most top-notch talents.

Even this supreme team wouldn’t dare to claim with certainty that they could defeat the older students’ top five teams.

And yet, their team hadn’t even faced any of the top five teams.

Now, news had already spread of a team that had managed to defeat one of the top five teams led by Wei Li.

This naturally led these top students among the freshmen to feel incredulous and find it hard to believe.

“This matter is absolutely true. Many people saw Wei Li and his team leaving the Ancient Forest, clearly having suffered a defeat,” Wu Ming said, shrugging his shoulders.

The top-ranked first-year students’ expressions kept changing.

Xuanyuan Zhan asked, “What’s the name of the freshman leading that team?”

“I’m not sure. No one dares to ask Wei Li and his team at a time like this,” Wu Ming replied.

Right now, Wei Li’s team was in a fit of rage after being defeated by a new student team—who would dare to provoke them further?

Even when the higher-ups from Azure Dragon Academy inquired, Wei Li answered truthfully. If any other student dared to ask, they would surely receive a beating from Wei Li.

Long Shiyou leaped down from a large rock and said, “My friends, our team was originally the one with high hopes, the only seeded team among the new students. Now, an unknown team of freshmen has defeated the team led by Wei Li, one of the five top teams of older students. If we remain unaccomplished as a seeded team and word gets out, it will surely cause others to laugh at us, won’t it? It’s time for us to set out, defeat the top five teams of older students, and make a name for ourselves.”

“That’s right, we must also defeat the teams of older students and let everyone know who truly is the seeded team among the new students,” they all responded to Long Shiyou.

This Long Shiyou was truly remarkable; with just a few words, he could ignite the fighting spirit within everyone’s hearts.

“Let’s go!”

Long Shiyou’s team also set off, swooping towards the depths of the mountain forest.

…

By a small stream, Lin Feng’s team was resting.

“Captain, have some water.” Huang Ling’er passed her water bottle to Lin Feng.

Huang Ling’er, seventeen years old, tall with a pair of slender, beautiful legs that one would avoid in awe. Although young, the peaks on her chest were heavily prominent, and her figure had developed extremely perfectly. Paired with that exquisitely beautiful face, she was undoubtedly a peerless beauty.

Lin Feng had also heard of the Huang Family of the True Martial Country. The patriarch of the Huang Family was known as “Grand Marshal Pingxi,” commanding a million valiant soldiers. In the northwestern part of the True Martial Country, he guarded the border with the “Beastman Kingdom,” having led the troops to repel the invading armies of the Beastman Empire numerous times, his military achievements were unparalleled.

“Thanks, I have water,” Lin Feng said as he took out his own water bottle.

“Then have some snacks.” Huang Ling’er offered some pastries to Lin Feng.

Watching such a fabulous beauty like Huang Ling’er attentively surround Lin Feng, many of the students were quite envious.

But they couldn’t feel jealous.

Because they also admired Lin Feng!

“Captain, you see, a lot of people are watching us; they seem to be some new students,” Huang Lei pointed to a number of students peering towards them from the surrounding mountains and woods.

Yann Qian said, “It must be because we defeated Wei Li’s team, so it’s attracted these onlookers!”

“No need to mind them, once we’ve rested, we’ll set out,” Lin Feng declared.

“Yes,” the group nodded and then rested on the spot.

“Is it them? The ones who defeated Wei Li?”

“Isn’t that guy Yann Qian? Could it be that Yann Qian defeated Wei Li?”

“Although Yann Qian is strong, he still falls short of Wei Li. There must be someone else.”

Some of the students lurking in the mountains and woods were discussing fervently.

The news of the new student team defeating Wei Li, one of the top five teams of older students, had caused a huge sensation. These new students were naturally very interested in the team that had defeated Wei Li, eager to see who these newcomers were that could achieve such a feat.

“People are coming from over there, no good, it’s Song Zhan Yuan, Song Zhan Yuan’s team ranks third among the five teams of older students, and his cultivation is much stronger than Wei Li’s! We need to hide quickly, if Song Zhan Yuan and his people see us, we’re done for.”

The new students who were hovering in the mountains and woods turned pale with fear upon seeing more than a dozen older students approaching from afar and hurriedly looked for places to hide.

“Captain, someone is coming, a group of older students, no good, it’s Song Zhan Yuan’s team!!”

Seeing the approaching figures, Yann Qian’s face slightly changed.

Yann Qian, of course, knew how fearsome Song Zhan Yuan was.

On the Mountain River List, Wei Li was ranked two hundred and forty-sixth.

While Song Zhan Yuan was in the top hundred!

From this, one could tell how formidable Song Zhan Yuan’s team was?

“Don’t panic, I’m here,” Lin Feng rose to his feet.

His words seemed to have a magical power.

They actually dispelled the terror in the hearts of the anxious team members.

And by now, Song Zhan Yuan and his people had already swooped in and surrounded Lin Feng and his team.

“So, you are the ones who defeated Wei Li’s team? You must be Yann Qian, right? I’ve heard of your reputation before, a genius who ranks in the top ten among the new students. I didn’t expect you to have the strength to defeat Wei Li. However, today, everything will end; your team is destined to be crushed under our feet.”

Song Zhan Yuan stood with his hands folded behind his back, his voice cold and indifferent, displaying an air of superiority as he looked down on Yann Qian, not taking him seriously. His gaze swept over the new students, but when it landed on Lin Feng’s face, Song Zhan Yuan paused slightly and then a sly, sneering smile appeared on his face.
