At first, it didn’t seem like much, but looking back now, it really is something.
Especially the news on Hong Xiu’s official forum, it’s almost all about Ye Ling.
This kind of attention, not even the teachers get it. Ye Ling truly stands out.
Ye Ling’s mouth twitched, and he coughed lightly.
“Cough, cough! Teacher Hong, if you have something to say about me, shouldn’t you say it behind my back instead of right in front of me?”
If you’re going to talk about someone, it should be behind their back, right?
Saying it directly during a call can be quite awkward.
Hearing Ye Ling’s words, Hong Xiu realized he wasn’t worried about the challenge at all, so she didn’t say much more.
Having said almost everything, Hong Xiu gave a special reminder before hanging up.
“Alright, since you’re going to challenge tomorrow, make sure to prepare well today and be careful.
Don’t embarrass me, okay? I just promoted you, and if you quit the Vermilion Bird Class tomorrow, I won’t have any face left.”
What she said was quite true. If Ye Ling really lost this challenge, he might set a new record.
The fastest student to ever leave the Vermilion Bird Class.
“Teacher Hong, don’t worry. I know what I’m doing.”
Ye Ling was confident about tomorrow’s battle.
Even though Blood Phantom and Feng Jiu’s levels weren’t as high as Wu Xuan’s spiritual pet, Blood Phantom and Feng Jiu themselves were very powerful.
A few levels’ difference wouldn’t make the gap too large, and with proper handling, Ye Ling had a great chance of winning.
After hanging up, Hong Xiu still called the dean to report the situation.
Before she could speak, the dean already knew why she was calling.
It turned out the dean also followed the school’s official website and knew what was happening.
Because of this, the dean even called the teacher in charge of Ye Ling’s current Vermilion Bird Class and scolded her.
The teacher felt helpless. She only found out about the situation later and couldn’t mediate in time.
After being scolded by the dean, the teacher didn’t dare to say a word and just listened silently.
She also felt a bit resentful towards Wu Xuan. Why did she suddenly challenge Ye Ling?
It caused her to be reprimanded by the dean, which was truly uncomfortable.
In the evening, Ye Ling received calls from Yun Yi and Shen Mengyao.
Both of them called mainly to encourage Ye Ling and cheer him on.
Ye Ling could understand Yun Yi calling to cheer him on, but Shen Mengyao, the twin-tailed, fierce beauty, also called to encourage him.
This made Ye Ling feel very strange.
They had only met once, yet she called to give him encouragement at such a time.
Shen Mengyao wasn’t interested in Ye Ling; she was just intrigued by Ye Ling, who was always the center of attention at the academy.
If Ye Ling could directly defeat Wu Xuan, he would become famous in one battle.
Having just enrolled for less than a week, defeating the third seat of the second year would be unprecedented.
With the challenge against Wu Xuan tomorrow, Ye Ling wasn’t nervous at all and spent his time at home leisurely.
He ate and drank as usual, not looking like someone about to step into the arena.
…
The day passed quickly, and the next day arrived as scheduled.
Today, something unprecedented was about to happen at Vermilion Bird Academy.
The third seat of the second year was challenging a student who had just jumped to the second year.
This topic had already reached its peak yesterday, and today many people came to the second-year arena just to see how this battle would end.
Those waiting for the battle weren’t just second-year students; there were many from other grades, and even many teachers came to watch.
This battle was the center of attention.
Everyone was speculating about who would win the challenge.
Here, over ninety percent believed Wu Xuan would emerge victorious.
Only less than ten percent supported Ye Ling.
Even Hong Xiu and Gao Yu came to watch the challenge today.
With so many teachers in the stands, there was no need to worry about anyone cheating during the battle.
The stands around the arena were filled with curious girls, all eager to see the outcome of today’s challenge.
“What do you think, who’s going to win today?”
“Isn’t it obvious? Wu Xuan is our grade’s third seat. If she loses, then Ye Ling must be really terrifying.”
“There’s no way she’ll lose. You all know Wu Xuan’s strength. Ye Ling is talented, but he can’t be that strong, right?”
“Hard to say. Since Ye Ling could jump straight to the second year at the start of school, and into the Vermilion Bird Class no less, he must have his own advantages.”
“What’s the point of saying so much? Once the challenge is over, it’ll be clear who wins and who loses. Thinking about it now is useless.”
