The crowd gathered around the stands was buzzing with discussions.
“Ye Ling, you must do your best!”
Hong Xiu stood on the stands, feeling somewhat anxious.
On the other hand, Gao Yu was quite excited, even a bit schadenfreude.
Now that Ye Ling was no longer her student, whether he won or lost didn’t affect her much.
Yesterday, when Ye Ling left, Gao Yu felt heartbroken for quite a while.
Especially when Hong Xiu teased her at the time, making Gao Yu, who was already a bit upset, feel even worse.
Now that she had the chance to watch the drama unfold, she certainly wouldn’t miss it.
“Why hasn’t Ye Ling shown up yet? Everyone’s waiting for him.”
Gao Yu checked the time and remarked with some exasperation.
On the large arena, only Wu Xuan was present, while the other main character of the event, Ye Ling, was nowhere to be seen.
It wasn’t that Ye Ling was late; the agreed challenge time hadn’t arrived yet. Ye Ling was always punctual, but never too early.
Wu Xuan originally thought Ye Ling would take their battle very seriously and would arrive early to wait.
Unexpectedly, Ye Ling hadn’t shown up at all. Even now, with the stands around the arena packed with people, Ye Ling was still nowhere to be seen.
“To face my challenge and still dare to be so arrogant, Ye Ling, how conceited are you?”
In Wu Xuan’s eyes, Ye Ling’s delay was a sign of disrespect towards her. Wasn’t it obvious?
If Ye Ling knew, he would probably cry out in injustice.
How could he possibly look down on Wu Xuan, the third seat in the second grade, such a formidable opponent?
He simply didn’t like arriving early.
“Look, look! He’s coming!”
At this moment, a girl in the stands suddenly noticed the large gate outside the arena, where a figure was approaching.
In the entire school, Ye Ling was the only male student, making him easy to recognize.
“Really! He’s finally here!”
“He’s finally here, we’ve been waiting for so long.”
“I knew it, Ye Ling would definitely come!”
“A fierce battle is about to begin, I can’t wait to see who will win!”
“If Ye Ling wins, it will be quite a spectacle, and Wu Xuan might lose her position.”
“She challenged him herself, so how can she blame Ye Ling? It’s not like Ye Ling challenged her.”
…
With Ye Ling’s arrival, the stands became lively and bustling.
Many people were seeing Ye Ling for the first time, eager to see what the only male student in the entire academy looked like.
“Ye Ling, you must do your best!”
In the stands, Yun Yi had also arrived today. She had to witness Ye Ling’s ultimate victory with her own eyes.
She believed that with Ye Ling’s confidence and strength, there was no reason he would lose to the opponent.
Even if the opponent was supposedly the third seat of the grade, she still believed Ye Ling would win.
“Whoa~!”
Just as Ye Ling walked in through the gate, he heard the noisy crowd and looked up, seeing so many people gathered in the stands.
At this moment, he seemed to have become a star, the focus of everyone’s attention.
As the saying goes, a true celebrity.
He hadn’t expected that just one of his challenges would cause such a stir, attracting so many onlookers.
However, even with so many people watching, Ye Ling felt no disturbance in his heart, nor any fear.
After all, it’s just watching, it’s not like he’ll lose anything, so what’s there to fear?
Meanwhile, Ye Ling noticed the person on the arena, with a rather ordinary appearance, even somewhat stern and fierce-looking, giving off a very sharp vibe.
The cold gaze directed at him could only mean that this was his opponent today, Wu Xuan.
However, she looked quite different from the photo in the records. Who knows who took that photo, but the photography skills were really terrible.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Ye Ling slowly walked onto the arena.
“You finally came. I thought you were too scared to show up.”
Staring at Ye Ling, Wu Xuan said coldly.
Hearing this, Ye Ling didn’t answer her question but instead looked down at the time and muttered to himself.
“The timing is just right. I’m not late, nor am I afraid to come as you suggested.”
With these words, Wu Xuan was momentarily speechless.
Because there was nothing wrong with what Ye Ling said.
He wasn’t late, so how could he be too scared to come?
Wu Xuan wasn’t particularly skilled in verbal sparring, so she didn’t dwell on it and coldly asked.
“Since you’re here, do you need to prepare for anything? If not, let’s start right away.”
She had been waiting here for quite some time and was already a bit impatient, eager to start the battle.
However, before the fight began, it was necessary to clarify things.
To avoid any issues later if she won, like Ye Ling claiming he wasn’t ready or something.
