Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 1518: Chapter 1518: Did She Come Here Specially for Me? (Third Update)

After Feng Meiyi left, everyone dispersed as well, each returning to their room to rest, leaving only Ke Yan, who slept with Yin Meiyue.

Early the next morning, they all went together to the venue of the Greenstone Society.

The second day’s competition was almost a repeat of the first day. The remaining over a thousand people were divided into fifteen arenas. The difference was that the numbers around these fifteen arenas were not evenly distributed.

Fifteen arenas corresponded to fifteen age groups. Five arenas for those under twenty years old. Ten arenas for those over twenty, up to thirty years old.

The arenas for those under twenty were mostly still at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

For those over twenty, because the first round had eliminated most Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators, the remaining majority were Core Formation experts. Only less than twenty were at the Foundation Establishment stage, mostly distributed among those who were twenty-one and twenty-two years old.

Ye Haochuan was placed in the twenty-five-year-old group, which had eighty people.

Among Langfan and others, only Guan Ling was of the same age, in the same group. Liu Sheng was a year older, with his arena next to Ye Haochuan’s. The others were spread out quite far.

Ye Haochuan was confident in his strength and had no doubts about advancing, so his main focus was still on a few others.

Soon, the groups were finished, and the first battle began.

”Alliance Hierarch, did you show off too much during the preliminaries? Why does it seem like everyone around you is afraid of you?” Guan Ling suddenly said.

Ye Haochuan was focused on the battles on the arena but was prompted to look around upon hearing this, and indeed, as Guan Ling said, the people around were looking at him with respectful eyes, and when Ye Haochuan turned to look, they quickly turned their heads away.

Of course, not everyone was respectful; some were disdainful. A Core Formation Peak cultivator in the same group looked at Ye Haochuan contemptuously and didn’t forget to taunt him with a middle finger when Ye Haochuan looked at him.

During the preliminaries, Core Formation Peak didn’t need to compete. But going into the second round, they also had to take the stage. This person seemed very ”eager” to battle Ye Haochuan.

What’s going on? In the preliminaries, I behaved quite conservatively! Why are these people acting so strangely?

Ye Haochuan was puzzled, just about to inquire when he heard the host call him to the stage.

Suppressing his questions, he slowly walked onto the arena. However, he stayed on the stage for a full five minutes without seeing his opponent appear.

”Liu Shi, are you here?” the host frowned slightly, asking sternly.

Only then did someone in the audience respond: ”Here!”

”If you’re here, why not get on stage?”

”I... I concede!” the person gritted their teeth and finally declared loudly.

Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but curiously look at this person, seeing the unwillingness on their face, he felt even stranger.

He vaguely remembered the name Liu Shi. A Cultivation in the Core Formation Late Stage, marked with three stars in the book, even stronger than Niu Qiang whom Ye Haochuan had encountered before.

Such an existence was an extremely rare expert on this arena. But Liu Shi was obviously unwilling, yet dared not step onto the stage and fight, which made Ye Haochuan very curious.

”Cowardly rat, scared by an insignificant pamphlet enough not to dare to fight, utterly wasting such cultivation,” someone in the audience loudly mocked.

Ye Haochuan followed the voice, seeing the person was the same young man who had taunted him earlier.

”You...” Liu Shi, already conflicted in his heart, was angered, and his face flushed red, shouting angrily, ”Ji Mian, you easily criticize without being in pain, why don’t you come up?”

”I certainly will!”

The young man, called Ji Mian, gave a cold snort and turned to Ye Haochuan, saying, ”Someone who gains attention through hype, how much skill could they have. You better pray not to meet me later; otherwise, the title of ’Mysterious Expert’ you bought at who knows what price will be wasted!”

”Mysterious Expert?” Ye Haochuan seemed to understand something and sneered, ”I didn’t spend money on such a boring title!”

With that, he didn’t want to waste words and directly turned to step off the stage.

”See there? He doesn’t even dare take a challenge; is this the so-called Mysterious Expert?” Ji Mian scornfully remarked.

Liu Shi, seeing the situation, clenched his fists tightly.

If Ye Haochuan was really as Ji Mian described, Liu Shi would suffer greatly from the loss.

”Damn, I should’ve tested his methods first; if things weren’t good, then conceding wouldn’t be too late!”

Liu Shi regretted deeply, but regret was useless. He had already conceded, and the host had recorded it. He couldn’t go back on it.

”Damn it, all because Tingfeng Pavilion wrote the Mysterious Expert to be so excellent; otherwise, how could I have directly conceded?”

Liu Shi now wished to rush out and smash the facade of Tingfeng Pavilion.

On the other side, hearing Ji Mian’s words, Ye Haochuan wasn’t a bit angry; instead, he thought to himself, ”You better pray not to fall into my hands; otherwise, you’ll feel like you’re in heaven!”

”This fellow truly deserves a beating, Alliance Hierarch, you should teach him a lesson later!” Guan Ling said indignantly from the side.

Ye Haochuan was about to reply when a female voice from beside said, ”What kind of person is the Young Master Ye to stoop to the level of an ordinary person?”

Ye Haochuan felt this voice very familiar, followed the voice to see Yuan San looking at him with excitement.

Yuan San, being a man, naturally wouldn’t make a woman’s sound. That voice, was from a pretty woman beside Yuan San.

This woman looked to be in her thirties, with some difficulty concealing the marks of time on her face. But even so, she was still a rare beauty, whose age had added some profound charm.

If a man liked mature women, seeing such a woman, he would definitely be irresistible.

Unfortunately, Ye Haochuan wasn’t inclined this way, and the women around him all had higher beauty, so Ye Haochuan looked at this woman without a single distracting thought.

”Are you... the shopkeeper from Tingfeng Pavilion?” Ye Haochuan felt the voice was just like the one behind the thin veil when he went to Tingfeng Pavilion to buy information about the Bai Family.

”Young Master Ye has a good memory!” the woman smiled sweetly, saying, ”I am Long Rui, the current shopkeeper of Tingfeng Pavilion!”

”Long Rui, are you from the Long Family?” Ye Haochuan was surprised.

Long Rui smiled, ”Yes, this Tingfeng Pavilion is indeed a property of the Long Family!”

Indeed, even large families have their own industries. Thousand Treasures Pavilion is the Ye Family’s industry.

But Ye Haochuan had been in Xuantian City for so long, and it was the first time he heard of the Long Family’s industry, which surprised him.

”Manager Long, don’t tell me you came here specifically for me?” Ye Haochuan suddenly thought of something, speaking with a half-smile.

”Young Master Ye is indeed clever!” Long Rui chuckled lightly, ”I had heard someone withstand a strike from the Righteous Venerable, so I suspected it might be you. However, last time you refused to reveal your name, so I came especially to confirm it!”

”Is it worth making a special trip just for this?”

”Of course it’s worth it because your name is Ye Haochuan!”
