Martial Arts Arena!

Clear division!

The disciples from the last two years of Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy had anger on their faces.

If this weren’t a battle between newcomers, they would have already stepped up and wouldn’t let the people from Sihe Martial Arts Academy be so arrogant!

In a certain spot on the spectator stand, a few masked figures slightly shook their heads at this moment.

"Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy will lose too."

"I know Meng Xing’s strength very well, even if Meng Xing steps up, it’s useless. Once the people from Sihe Martial Arts Academy win, they will definitely publicize in Lingxiao City."

"Honestly, I originally wanted to drag Tian Qiyu down to a draw, at least giving Meng Xing a chance, but unfortunately, I couldn’t accomplish it."

The martial artists in the stands didn’t know that these masked individuals were disciples from Qingyun Martial Arts Academy.

Defeated by Sihe Martial Arts Academy, Kong Qing and the others knew Sihe Martial Arts Academy was coming to challenge Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy, so they secretly followed.

From Kong Qing’s personal perspective, he lost to Tian Qiyu. If Meng Xing also loses to Tian Qiyu, no one would think he is inferior to Tian Qiyu.

But as a Liang martial artist, he hoped more that Meng Xing could win. However, from Meng Xing’s current expression, he already knew the answer: Meng Xing was not confident in defeating Tian Qiyu.

Similarly, in another corner of the Martial Arts Arena.

"Senior Brother, it seems Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy will lose too."

"If Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy loses, it means our generation from Liang is completely defeated."

"Isn’t there still Canglan Martial Arts Academy?"

"Canglan Martial Arts Academy? In the eyes of foreign martial artists, they don’t even remember that our Liang has a Canglan Martial Arts Academy."

Canglan Martial Arts Academy, located in a remote place, has some influence in the South, but in other countries, it is almost invisible. When mentioning Liang’s martial arts academies, people tend to know more about the other three.

Zhang Ming sighed softly: "After this battle, junior brothers, train hard. The humiliation we suffer today will be returned tenfold next year!"

...

...

"Instructor, let me go!"

Meng Xing’s expression was firm, at this time, only he could step up for Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy.

The instructor of Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy glanced at Meng Xing, understood Meng Xing’s intent, allowing him to fight even if he loses, it wouldn’t be too fast. If other disciples went up, they would stand no chance against Tian Qiyu.

In front of all eyes, a complete defeat without any resistance would be a massive blow to the reputation of Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy.

As the instructor was about to agree, a voice came from the left side.

"Senior Brother Meng, let me do it."

Hearing this voice, the instructor turned back and saw an unfamiliar disciple’s face, furrowing his brow, prepared to scold.

This generation of Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy had seventy disciples, but he only remembered about ten outstanding ones, including Meng Xing. This young man’s face was unfamiliar, and he called Meng Xing "Senior Brother." Jiang Yun subconsciously thought he was one of the less competent newcomers. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"Lin... Senior Brother Lin!"

But what Jiang Yun didn’t expect was Meng Xing’s voice beside him, filled with excitement.

That single phrase from Meng Xing, "Senior Brother Lin," made the eyes of the surrounding disciples focus on the appearing young man, their eyes lighting up.

Jiang Yun also thought of something and immediately asked in a deep voice: "Are you Lin Chen?"

"Disciple Lin Chen, I’ve met the instructor."

Lin Chen nodded with a smile and then said to Meng Xing, "I am not worthy to be called Senior Brother yet. How about giving me the opportunity? If I win, it won’t be too late to call me Senior Brother afterwards."

Hearing Lin Chen’s words, Meng Xing’s eyes condensed. He was no fool; if Senior Brother Lin said so, he surely had his reasons.

"Alright."

Jiang Yun didn’t expect Lin Chen would come at this moment, now looking at Lin Chen, asked, "Lin Chen, are you confident?"

Jiang Yun wasn’t convinced about the academy inviting Lin Chen to be an exchange student. Not because he thought the academy relied on Lin Chen to save face, just that he wasn’t confident even with Lin Chen here in winning.

In Liang, the disciples are trained step-by-step before reaching the Five-Viscera Refinement, only then are they provided Liang’s resources to quickly gather Martial Path Will and enter the Grade Entry Realm.

Sihe Martial Arts Academy and Pilgrim Martial Arts Academy caught us unprepared this time.

"Yes."

Lin Chen looked at Tian Qiyu in the Martial Arts Arena, the corners of his mouth slightly lifted.

"Instructor, since Senior Brother... Junior Brother Lin says he is confident, there should be no problem."

Meng Xing spoke too, standing by, trusting Lin Senior Brother’s strength.

"Alright, then I’ll leave this battle to you, but remember, if you can’t win, concede immediately. Winning or losing once doesn’t mean much."

Jiang Yun thoughtfully instructed, worried Lin Chen might get severely injured trying to hold on if he was outmatched.

Though they were watching on the side and life wouldn’t be threatened, if severely injured, recovery would take months and for a genius disciple like Lin Chen, a month’s delay could mean others catching up or even surpassing him.

Being slow once might mean being slow every step afterward.

"Disciple understands."

Lin Chen nodded, and at this moment, many people noticed the situation on Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy’s side in the Martial Arts Arena.

"Who is that? Why haven’t we seen this disciple from Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy before?"

The disciples from Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy had been standing there since the exchange began, and everyone had seen them already. Yet there was now one more, causing many to feel puzzled.

Even in the Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy disciples’ area, many watching disciples were confused; how come they had never seen this person before?
