Special Expert of Beauty CEO

”Haha, interesting, this Qin Tian is quite strong. His opponent was a Nascent Soul Stage Peak expert, yet he won so easily, I really underestimated him, haha.”

After seeing Qin Tian’s performance, Lei Shi was thrilled beyond measure. After all, Qin Tian was part of the City Guard Army, and his performance was clearly winning great reputation for them.

Someone next to Lei Shi praised, ”General Lei, your City Guard Army has hit the jackpot this time. I think Qin Tian has limitless potential. At such a young age, he’s already the commander in the City Guard Army, with his strength at the Nascent Soul Stage Peak. I foresee he will take on major responsibilities in your army.”

”Haha, General Ye, thank you for your kind words. Indeed, Qin Tian does have some skills. During the Sea City defense battle, it was all thanks to Qin Tian that we managed to hold our ground. This kid indeed has the talent for leading troops.”

Lei Shi has always been straightforward, and in the face of a general from the North Camp’s compliment, he did not show any humility.

His superior, Xiao Zhan, couldn’t listen any longer from the front, turned his head, and gestured to Lei Shi to be low-key.

Qin Tian smoothly advanced to the fourth round, which was the top sixteen in the graduation martial arts competition.

At this stage of the competition, all matches were between experts, and by rule, it was one match per day.

On the day of the draw, Qin Tian had good luck, drawing a student from the Dragon Tiger Class who barely won the last round.

This guy fought with all his might to win his last match and was seriously injured. Knowing that Qin Tian, in his previous match, defeated a Nascent Soul Stage Peak expert without sustaining injuries, he immediately forfeited the next round.

Therefore, Qin Tian won by default and went directly to the top eight.

The next day’s top sixteen to top eight matches saw Qin Tian watching from the sidelines, having a good rest.

He carefully watched Leng Yu’s match. In the ring, Leng Yu, a student from the Dragon Tiger Class, performed exceptionally well, defeating her opponent in twenty minutes, though she seemed significantly fatigued.

”Congratulations!” Qin Tian expressed his congratulations to her.

Leng Yu gave a faint smile, ”I should be congratulating you. You don’t have to fight in this round, you can conserve your energy. In the next round, I must pray not to draw you.”

Qin Tian smiled faintly, ”Same here.”

The two went together to the drawing stand to draw lots.

As Qin Tian walked over, he inadvertently glanced at the podium and saw Xu Junwei staring at him. He showed no expression, but Xu Junwei nodded slightly, obviously satisfied with Qin Tian’s performance.

In the top eight to top four matches, Qin Tian drew a guy named Liang Yuheng from the Dragon Tiger Class, whom he didn’t know at all. But considering the guy had made it to the top eight, Qin Tian dared not relax in the slightest.

However, after their match the next day, Qin Tian realized the consequences of continuous days of fighting—

Some people had barely managed to advance, consuming too much True Qi and even sustaining injuries, leaving them with little to no combat strength by the top eight stage.

This Liang Yuheng was a typical example. He had bad luck with drawing lots, being a Nascent Soul Stage Peak in strength, but faced a Late Stage and another Nascent Soul Stage Peak opponent in the first two rounds. Neither opponent was weak, leaving him severely taxed.

Although he defeated the first two opponents, when facing Qin Tian, he faltered, unable to last ten minutes before Qin Tian slapped him away, allowing Qin Tian to advance to the top four with pride!

However, the bad news was, less than five minutes after Qin Tian reached the top four, Leng Yu was defeated on a distant ring by Qi Fei, an expert from the Dragon Tiger Class, stopping at the top eight.

”Haha, with three of the top four confirmed, I believe Qin Tian and Cao Dong are very likely to enter the finals; both have the strength to claim first place.”

”I don’t know about that. Among the current top eight, apart from Qin Tian and Yang Jin, the other six are all Dragon Tiger Class students. With Li Jin about to lose, it means that in the top four, Qin Tian is the only ordinary class student. What does this mean? It means that with three Dragon Tiger Class students besieging him, it’s nearly impossible for him to survive.”

”I agree with your view. The difference between Dragon Tiger Class students and ordinary students is their solid foundation. Even the few civilian students in Dragon Tiger Class, after four years there, have a depth not possessed by students of other classes. Having just one ordinary class student in the top four is the best proof.”

”Yes, if Murong Fei and Nangong Bingfeng were here, there’s no need to say, the champion would be one of them. Now that neither is here, I reckon Cao Dong has a solid chance of taking first place. All along, he’s considered the third in Dragon Tiger Class, and no one dares to dispute it.”

The audience started analyzing the situation at this point.

Half an hour later, the top four positions were finally determined.

Comically, for the final top four spot, there was no one, as the two fought too fiercely for it, leading to a lose-lose attack that resulted in severe injuries, ensuring neither would dare use True Qi for a month.

So the top four comprised Qin Tian, Cao Dong, and Qi Fei from the Dragon Tiger Class.

Among the three, Qin Tian and Cao Dong were the ones whose strength was preserved well. Qi Fei narrowly defeated Leng Yu in his previous round, consuming a lot of True Qi.

It was getting lively now, as the on-site draw led everyone to stretch their necks, eager to see who would draw the bye round, which would give them a significant advantage in the finals.

”Old Qi, we mustn’t end up facing each other, haha, we must defend the honor of Dragon Tiger Class.”

Cao Dong, knowing Qi Fei, whispered to him as they prepared for the draw.

Qi Fei glanced at Qin Tian, whispered, ”Exactly, historically, the first place in the graduation martial arts competition is always taken by a Dragon Tiger Class student. Even if Murong Fei and Nangong Bingfeng aren’t here this year, we can still hold the banner high, no chance for ordinary classes!”

”Haha, that’s good. Let’s agree, no matter who draws that guy, we’ll give it our all. Even if we lose, let’s fully exhaust him so he won’t have any True Qi left for the finals!” Cao Dong insidiously transmitted through True Qi to Qi Fei.

Qi Fei nodded seriously, ”I thought the same! This Qin Tian should know his place. Competing with us Dragon Tiger Class for first, doesn’t know his limits. Destroy him!”

Through their True Qi transmission, Qin Tian’s cultivation couldn’t decipher the content, but seeing their conspiratorial smiles, he had a good guess of their plot, and immediately gave a cold smile.
