"Excuse me, do you know where the Outer Academy Martial Arts Exhibition is being held?"
A gentle-looking disciple, exuding an air of scholarly demeanor, stood before Liu Yu. At that moment, Liu Yu was anxiously hurrying to the Demonstration venue. He had gone to Cultivation last night and ended up sleeping too soundly, missing his wake-up call. He couldn't help but think that his so-called friends were just waiting to see him make a fool of himself.
Though he thought this way in his heart, he forced a smile and replied to the disciple who seemed unaware of the Demonstration venue, "As it happens, I'm also looking for it. I'll follow you."
"Thank you, Senior Brother. May I ask your name?"
"Liu Yu, the twenty-first generation disciple. And you are?" Liu Yu asked, glancing at the disciple who looked quite young. "You must have recently joined the Outer Court."
"Yes, I entered the Outer Court last year. My name is Gu Nian."
"Ah, Gu Shidi! They must have started already; it's almost noon. The event should have been going on for nearly two hours now. If we hurry, we might catch the most exciting matches. Have you been practicing any powerful Spells lately? I hope to secure a place in the rankings this time."
"In that case, let me congratulate you in advance, Senior Brother," Gu Nian said.
Liu Yu was completely unaware that the Junior Brother beside him was none other than the rumored devilish disciple who had allegedly killed fellow students. He also didn't realize that this person would soon create significant waves in the Outer Court.
Under Liu Yu's lead, they quickly arrived at the Martial Arts Hall where the event was being held. They saw ten large circular platforms and noticed Xiazhi and the Senior Sister among the audience. The Arena match between Zheng Bin and Ruo Nan was still ongoing. The dull competition had sparked inspiration among the watching Disciples after both competitors showcased their sword techniques.
Gu Nian wasn't in a hurry to join his Senior Sister and others; instead, he stayed close to Liu Yu and gathered with his friends. He wanted to see how the Elders would react after witnessing the scene at Yin Wind Gorge.
He joked, "Why didn’t anyone call me? When we get on stage later, I’m sure they’ll make us look good."
"Who told me not to get up? How can I blame them?" he laughed.
Watching everyone joke around made Gu Nian smile knowingly. It felt good to be among people; he suddenly realized this feeling and couldn't quite understand why it struck him so strongly.
Introducing Yi Dong, who just encountered Junior Brother, a student who will join the academy next year.
His name is Niu Man, a member of the Yuanmu Ethnic Group from the vast grasslands of the northern regions. Junior Brother can just call him Brother Niu. He is dressed in leather, clearly identifiable as a man from the Yuanmu Ethnic Group, and he spoke with a hearty demeanor.
Then there’s Ding Yan, a person from the No Lu Kingdom who enjoys drinking tea. He wondered what Junior Brother's preferences were; if he had none, he could come to discuss the art of tea with him. The Lu State has many books, and Ding You exudes an air of scholarly wisdom. He held a small teapot in his hand, sipping from it occasionally.
He must make time to seek out a few cups of tea.
Next is Lin Xianglin. His father said that he lacked wood in his destiny, which is why his name contains four characters for wood.
Before Gu could finish speaking, he noticed that behind Niu Man stood a boy dressed like a girl. With a handsome face and fair skin, he had a delicate figure that could easily lead one to mistake him for a girl, likely captivating many. Gu's mouth twitched awkwardly as Yi Dong quickly regained his composure.
He then realized that all four individuals before him had distinct characteristics: one was a Barbarian, another a swordsman, one was scholarly, and there was Lin Xianglin—he truly struggled to find words to describe him. While his name contained wood, as a man, he seemed to lack a bit of masculinity.
"Look! Zheng Bin lost!"
Several people nearby shouted as they rushed toward the Arena. Indeed, Zheng Bin made an error in judgment against Jie Donglai, mistakenly believing that Ruo Nan would use the most powerful move from the Sword Cultivation Technique—the No Sword technique—only to see her employ the most basic Sword Flick technique instead. That seemingly insignificant flaw was seized by Yi Dongzi, leading to Zheng Bin being sent out of the Arena.
The watching Disciples cheered loudly, making Ruo Nan feel that her hard work was worthwhile; at least she felt she had earned the respect of the Outer Court Disciples. However, when she caught sight of Gu Na’s face, the smile that had appeared instantly froze. She could never forget that day four months ago at the peak of Resolving Peak when that powerful disciple had entered.
