Medic Martial Dragon King

Chapter 2075: Chapter 2079: Scheming Before the Tournament

”Master!”

”Master!”

”Elder Wine-crazed!”

”Grandpa Wine-crazed!”

Jiang Chen and the other three clasped their fists in salute.

”The newcomer assessment is over. Tomorrow is the martial competition for newcomers. Young man, you’re new to the academy and need to participate in this competition. As for you, young girl, you should also participate, but for now, join as an ordinary academy student. You can’t join as my disciple, as I wouldn’t want to lose face.”

Hu Yiqiu gently advised.

”Yes, Master!”

Jiang Chen responded.

Ouyang Ruoxue bit her lip, nodded slightly, with a determined look in her eyes.

I will definitely make you accept me as your disciple!

”Yun Tao, Wu Hen, you two should go watch tomorrow as well. After the newcomer competition, there will be challenges between elite and core disciples. Observing these matches can be beneficial for you.”

Hu Yiqiu glanced at Yun Tao and Jian Wuheng.

”Yes!”

Both of them bowed in response.

”Young man, don’t just focus on power control training with them. Don’t neglect your own training either. Find some time and let Yun Tao take you to visit the Five Great Opportunity Places to see which one is suitable for your cultivation.”

Hu Yiqiu turned back to Jiang Chen.

”Yes!”

Jiang Chen nodded lightly.

Looking towards the forest, Hu Yiqiu’s mouth curled into a cold smile, and he said indifferently, ”The despicable ones have arrived.”

Swish!

As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Yiqiu’s figure flashed and vanished.

Jiang Chen and the others were stunned for a moment and quickly looked in the direction where Hu Yiqiu had just gazed.

Whoosh!

A figure swiftly leapt out from the forest and immediately met the gaze of Jiang Chen and the other three. Sun Zheqi was momentarily stunned.

Yun Tao’s mouth twitched into a cold smile, Jian Wuheng’s eyes turned grim, but only Ouyang Ruoxue ignored Sun Zheqi and turned to the cliff face, placing one foot horizontally on the wall, trying to figure out how to stand horizontally on it.

”Senior Jian, Senior Yun!”

Sun Zheqi steadied himself and cupped his fists towards Yun Tao and Jian Wuheng.

Yun Tao ignored him and turned to the rock wall, mimicking Ouyang Ruoxue’s actions.

Jian Wuheng nodded and softly asked, ”Junior Sun, why are you here?”

”I heard Elder Wine-crazed has taken on a new disciple, and I was curious and wanted to take a look.”

Sun Zheqi responded with a light laugh and turned to Jiang Chen, cupping his fists, ”Hello, Junior Jiang Chen, I am Sun Zheqi.”

”Hello, Senior Sun.”

Jiang Chen returned the salute, feeling a slight stir in his heart.

Just as Sun Zheqi was speaking, a fleeting, obscure divine sense aura appeared and disappeared.

”And this is...”

Sun Zheqi’s lips curled slightly as he glanced at Ouyang Ruoxue and then looked inquisitively at Yun Tao.

”You’ve met the person; can you leave now?”

Yun Tao spoke indifferently, without answering Sun Zheqi.

”Then I won’t disturb you any longer.”

Sun Zheqi was not irritated, and with a light smile, he gave Ouyang Ruoxue a deep glance before leaping back into the forest.

”What was he here for? Just to take a glance?”

Yun Tao glanced at Sun Zheqi, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

”Don’t mind him, let’s head over to the river and practice there first!”

Jiang Chen glanced at the forest, sensing a subtle presence there.

Swish, swish, swish!

The four of them soared into the air, heading towards the river between the mountain’s front and midpoint.

Whoosh!

Just after the four left, Sun Zheqi emerged from the forest once again.

”What are they here for? Is there some secret?”

Sun Zheqi lightly furrowed his brows, turned to look at the steep cliff, and moved to where Ouyang Ruoxue had been treading, observing intently.

”There doesn’t seem to be anything unusual?”

Scratching his brow, Sun Zheqi glanced in the direction where Jiang Chen and the others had departed.

Jian Wuheng and Yun Tao seem to be following Jiang Chen’s lead; what’s going on? And that woman, who is she? Why haven’t I seen her before?

After some thought, a cold glint appeared in Sun Zheqi’s eyes, and he turned and leaped down the mountain.

...

Nightfall descended, and the bright moon hung high.

Whoosh!

A figure swiftly moved through the area designated for ordinary students under the cover of night.

The newcomer assessment had already ended, and all the new students had received their academy uniforms and settled into the academy.

Tomorrow is the day of the newcomer martial competition, and all students were already meditating, preparing to perform their best in the competition, hoping to be noticed by the academy elders and taken on as disciples.

The shadow stopped behind a pavilion where a new student resided, leaning against the wall, quietly waiting.

Clack!

A light sound could be heard as the pavilion window opened, and a young man jumped down, looking around as if searching for something.

”Over here.”

The shadow that arrived first whispered.

The young man quickly turned and gave a slight bow and greeted, ”Senior Sun.”

The shadow stepped forward under the moonlight, revealing a handsome face; it was Sun Zheqi, Lu Buping’s disciple!

”Are you ready?”

Sun Zheqi asked in a low voice.

”Rest assured, Senior Sun, I’ve already reached the critical point in my cultivation, and I can break through on the competition stage tomorrow!”

The young man replied confidently.

”Just breaking through isn’t enough; since Jiang Chen was valued by Elder Wine-crazed, his talent is surely extraordinary. If you can’t achieve what you’ve promised, sensing the bloodline Great Dao as soon as you break through, you won’t be a match for Jiang Chen.”

Sun Zheqi squinted slightly, staring intently at the young man, ”Master gave you the elixir to reach the breakthrough point not just for breaking through, but to defeat Jiang Chen in the competition tomorrow!”

”Please be assured, Senior Sun, I am the purest among my generation’s bloodline. Once I break through, I can immediately comprehend the Great Dao contained within my bloodline; there will be no errors!”

The young man assured, pounding his chest.

”That’s for the best. If you mess up Master’s plans, don’t blame me for being unforgiving!”

Sun Zheqi’s eyes flashed with a cold light, and his figure vanished into the night.

The young man gave Sun Zheqi a glance, a glint of cold light in his eyes, ”If not for needing to pass through Changlin Academy to reach Changling Academy, would this Young Master willingly take orders from you?”

After a pause, the young man frowned slightly, muttering to himself, ”Jiang Chen? Could it be... impossible! If it were that Jiang Chen, he would go to the Origin Continent even if he came to the Void Nether Realm, not the Changlang Continent here.”

Shaking his head, the young man turned and leaped back into the pavilion.

The next day.

”Well done!”

”Amazing!”

”Keep it up!”

Cheers echoed across the southern sky of Changlin Academy.

At this moment, the Grand Martial Arts Arena of Changlin Academy was bustling with activity.

In the center of the Grand Martial Arts Arena, two young men were battling fiercely. Above the arena, a stern-looking young man was supervising, preventing any life-threatening incidents from occurring due to excessive force.
