As long as they can defeat Ye Ling, they can expel him from their Vermilion Bird Class.
As for why Wu Xuan didn’t just have Ye Ling expelled from school, it was because she thought Ye Ling would never agree to such harsh conditions.
So, she settled for a compromise, deciding that if Ye Ling lost, he would just have to leave the Vermilion Bird Class.
The news of this challenge spread quickly, and even those who usually didn’t pay much attention to the official forum heard about it from others.
Like Hong Xiu, for instance.
She heard it from Gao Yu, who usually liked to browse the official website and gossip about any interesting news.
After seeing this news, Gao Yu couldn’t wait to find Hong Xiu.
“Hong Xiu, hahaha! Look at the mess you’ve made, letting Ye Ling skip grades to the Vermilion Bird Class. Go check the official website quickly.
Now, the third seat of the second year has challenged Ye Ling, and he actually accepted it. I’ve heard that the third seat’s strength is no joke.
If Ye Ling loses this challenge, he’ll have to leave the Vermilion Bird Class. What are you going to do now?”
Gao Yu was clearly taking pleasure in Hong Xiu’s predicament.
After getting the news, Hong Xiu immediately went to the official website to check.
She confirmed that this wasn’t a prank and had indeed happened.
Hong Xiu knew a bit about the third seat of the second year, having heard Li Xingyue mention their strength before.
They were only slightly weaker than Zhao Siyu, the strongest in her group, but still very powerful in the entire second year.
Even though Hong Xiu had great confidence in Ye Ling, she didn’t think a student who had just recently broken through to the Second Rank could take on Wu Xuan, the third seat of the second year, head-on.
Even if Ye Ling had previously swept through the Second Rank Secret Realm, there might have been some luck involved.
Moreover, fighting Demons and battling Spirit Tamers were worlds apart.
Spirit Tamers were far more cunning than Demons.
“Why did Ye Ling accept such a challenge? He could have just refused.”
Hong Xiu frowned, feeling uneasy about Ye Ling’s impulsive decision to accept the challenge.
If he lost, Ye Ling himself said he would leave the Vermilion Bird Class.
By then, he would have to go to the Elite Class or the Common Class below the Vermilion Bird Class.
This wasn’t what Hong Xiu wanted to see; the dean and she wanted Ye Ling to become stronger in the Vermilion Bird Class, not to leave it.
Thinking of this, Hong Xiu immediately called Ye Ling.
On the other end, Ye Ling had just returned home and received the call as soon as he stepped inside.
Seeing the caller ID, Ye Ling couldn’t help but smile wryly, already knowing what Hong Xiu wanted to say.
After answering the call, Ye Ling took the initiative to ask.
“Teacher Hong, you’ve heard the news?”
Hearing this, Hong Xiu pinched her brow in frustration; she was truly at a loss with Ye Ling.
“Ye Ling, tell me, what were you thinking? Why did you agree to Wu Xuan’s challenge? Do you know what losing means?”
Although Hong Xiu was asking, she wasn’t furious. She believed Ye Ling must have his reasons for accepting the challenge.
Moreover, in Hong Xiu’s view, Ye Ling was usually quite cautious, so there shouldn’t be any major issues.
Since he agreed to Wu Xuan’s challenge, Ye Ling probably had a plan.
Ye Ling had anticipated what kind of questions Hong Xiu would ask before answering the call.
Having already thought of a response, Ye Ling calmly explained.
“Teacher Hong, the other party issued the challenge, and as a man, wouldn’t it be embarrassing not to accept a challenge from a girl?
Besides, I want to challenge strong opponents. The second year uses a ranking system, and I want to challenge Zhao Siyu, the first seat of our group, but I don’t have the qualifications yet.
Now, someone has come directly to me. If I win this challenge, I’ll be the third seat of the second year, and then Zhao Siyu can’t refuse my challenge.”
After hearing this explanation, Hong Xiu felt a headache coming on.
Ye Ling had just moved up to the second year and was already thinking about the ranking system.
And right away, he wanted to challenge Zhao Siyu, the first seat of his group. Wasn’t he just looking for trouble?
Now that things had come to this, Hong Xiu couldn’t say much more. Words, once spoken, are like water spilled on the ground.
Since Ye Ling had already agreed to the challenge, there was no turning back.
Almost everyone in the school knew about it, and even if Ye Ling wanted to back out, it was too late.
With a deep sigh, Hong Xiu felt helpless. How did she end up with such a troublesome student?
“Sigh! You, oh you! You really keep me on my toes. You’ve only been here a week, and it feels like you’re involved in everything!”
