1617: Come Battle If You're Not Convinced

Come Battle If You're Not Convinced

"It looks like what I had once seen on a record of divine beasts and mythological creatures—an ancient fire phoenix!"2

Goodness, which patrician family's pampered lady had run all the way here to study at this god-forsaken academy?

Qiao Mu stretched out her hand.

The bloodfire phoenix gave a shrill cry before morphing into a ball of flames, rushing back into her body to rest on Paradise Planet.

There were many male and female youths standing on the summit. They all looked at Qiao Mu, Qi Xuanxuan, and the little fatty with surprise and astonishment.

Qi Xuanxuan and the little fatty suddenly felt immense pressure following Miss Qiao forward. What was going on with being the focus of everybody's attention?

"Cough, cough. Cough!" The pitiful fellow on the rock who was waving the small yellow flag hastily flew down. He continued coughing to clear his throat from the sand as he hollered at them with narrowed eyes, "You guys? Who are you people! Why have you intruded into our Apex Academy without permission?"

Qiao Mu turned to give that young man a cold look.

Dressed in a plain cyan robe, he had thick eyebrows and large eyes. He looked like quite the simple-minded fellow.

Qi Xuanxuan put her hands on her waist and barked, "Isn't it your academy who is recruiting students and wants us to come! You still have the gall to ask? Are you recruiting or are you harming students by setting such a difficult test!"

"What, what did you say? What test?"

"The red river at the foot of the mountain is formed from molten lava and makes a circle around the mountain. Besides flying, how else could we cross!"

After getting rebuked by Qi Xuanxuan, the cyan-robed young man stammered, "W-We, we had, we had been sending people to the foot of the mountain these past few days to g-guide students up! I-It's you guys, you guys who missed, the time to ascend the mountain."

Who knew that there were still people coming up on this last day?

And they had freakin' come up by riding on a fire phoenix. Wasn't this too godd*mn flashy

Besides, he had been vigorously waving a small yellow flag at them from on top of the rock at the summit earlier to signal for them to land at the entrance!

Yet these people just brazenly flew all the way up to the summit and landed where a crowd gathered. It was obvious that this was to show off in order to grab everybody's attention!

Moreover, the other students had generally arrived at the red river one to two days in advance. It was obvious from a glance that these three people were pampered young ladies and masters from affluent families. They simply weren't able to endure hardships, without an earnest attitude toward learning!

"Get rid of that scorn and those suspicions in your mind." Qiao Mu abruptly extended a leg and drew a gray circle in the ground with the tip of her foot. "Come battle if you're not convinced!"

Qi Xuanxuan: …

The little fatty: … This great aunt was so blunt! But why the heck did he like this kind of temper so much? The more he saw, the more it was to his liking!

"The first person to leave this circle loses, and they must apologize!" Qiao Mu stood inside the ring and beckoned to the cyan-robed young man with her finger. "Come."

Don't spout nonsense! Let's just fight. There wasn't time to waste her breath.

Everyone: "…"

What was going on? They had yet to recover from the shock of "I had seen an ancient fire phoenix," and now they were dumbfounded by this scene of "Hurry and come battle!"

The cyan-robed man had evidently been angered into laughter. He flicked his robe with his hand before he strode into the ring with a huff. "Little Miss, it's not good to be too arrogant. You need to know that there's always someone better out there! You must always maintain a modest and prudent attitude…"

"Boom!" Qiao Mu yanked his arm and turned her arm to drag him to the ground. She pressed the cyan-robed man to the ground, causing the left side of his face to eat the dirt.
