Chapter 101: Shameless to the Extreme

"Student Qin Jian has adopted an evasive strategy. Does he intend to drag this out until Student Feng Xiaotian's Third Soul Skill duration expires?"

The commentator's words were very harsh, yet they drew agreement from all the students in the arena.

Their stance was naturally on the side of Shenfeng Academy, regardless of whether it was reasonable.

"Hoo..."

Yan Zhining let out a slight sigh of relief: "It's fortunate that Qin Jian isn't meeting force with force; this way, there is still a sliver of a chance."

"But does he really have the remaining strength to drag this out until Feng Xiaotian's Third Soul Skill ends?" an instructor from Blazing Academy asked.

Yan Zhining's willow-leaf brows furrowed slightly: "But this is already the best method. Otherwise, what else could be done..."

Before her voice had even faded, a sudden change occurred in the arena.

"Shoo, shoo, shoo..."

While relying on his position-swapping skill to avoid colliding with Feng Xiaotian, Qin Jian tossed his soul rings into mid-air.

"Feng Xiaotian, did you think my soul power and Spirit Power definitely couldn't support Ring Fusion?"

Qin Jian's words startled Feng Xiaotian and left everyone off-stage stunned: "Knowing you were the last one, how could I not save the power for Ring Fusion?"

"And the biggest flaw of your Gale Twin Wings Nine Consecutive Slashes is..."

Qin Jian said while dodging: "As long as I interrupt your first slash, it can never continue, so..."

"Take this, Man-Sword Unity!"

The reappearance of the Ring Fusion Divine Skill once again blinded the people of Shenfeng Academy, and the massive Sword Qi that suddenly slashed down caused the high-level members of Shenfeng Academy to change color.

"Bad, last time Feng Xiaotian couldn't even take his Ring Fusion after the nine consecutive slashes, and this time it's only the first slash!"

Before a high-level member could finish speaking, they saw their Dean had already vanished from his seat.

"Boom!"

When he appeared again, he had already landed in the center of the battle stage.

His surging soul power directly dispersed the soul skills of both Qin Jian and Feng Xiaotian, and actually repelled both of them outside the bounds of the battle stage.

Everyone looked at him in confusion.

Yan Zhining, however, was incomparably furious: "What is wrong with you Shenfeng Academy?! Do you like interrupting soul battles on a whim so much?"

Seeing that Qin Jian was about to win, only for it to be interrupted by Shenfeng Academy, she simply could not accept it.

"Instructor Yan Zhining, please calm down."

The Dean of Shenfeng Academy said very calmly: "I interrupted the soul battle for a reason. Just now, I received replies from the other academies. The high-level members of the Five Elements Academies have unanimously passed the proposal to hold this year's Ranking Tournament, so..."

He looked at Yan Zhining and said: "There is no need for us to continue the soul battle now. No matter what conflicts exist, they should be resolved in the Ranking Tournament. That is the original intention of holding the Ranking Tournament every year, isn't it?"

Yan Zhining was stunned: "Your Shenfeng Academy actually proposed an internal Ranking Tournament for the Five Elements Academies?"

The Shenfeng Yuanzhang nodded and said: "The time is set for one month from now, to be held at Thunder Academy."

"Considering the constant conflicts between Blazing Academy, Tianshui Academy, and Shenfeng Academy during this period, the Ranking Tournament has received unanimous approval from the high-level members of all five academies."

He said condescendingly: "Does Instructor Yan Zhining still have doubts?"

"Since the Shenfeng Yuanzhang knew long ago that the Ranking Tournament was to be held, why not simply cancel this soul battle?"

Yan Zhining still did not back down: "Since you had already received the replies, why not stop the soul battle as early as possible, and instead stop it only when our academy's Qin Jian was about to win?"

"Don't you think doing this is too shameless?!"

These words were extremely impolite, yet the students of Shenfeng Academy in the stands all quietly lowered their heads; they also knew their academy was in the wrong.

But the Shenfeng Yuanzhang did not change his expression: "I have already said, I just received the news, and then I immediately stopped the soul battle."

"Since Tianshui Academy has such strong opinions about our Shenfeng Academy, then we will not keep you as guests. Please feel free to leave; we will resolve our disputes at the Ranking Tournament."

He issued an order to leave quite bluntly.

"Boom!"

Yan Zhining, who was already furious, suddenly erupted her soul rings, and the snow-white wings on her back carried her straight into the sky.

"Yan Zhining! What are you doing?!"

The Shenfeng Yuanzhang reacted quickly, also erupting seven soul rings: "Fighting is forbidden among the high-level members of the Five Elements Academies!"

"Hmph! I don't intend to do anything, I just want to say one thing..."

Aided by soul power, Yan Zhining spread her voice throughout Shenfeng Academy: "Shenfeng Academy—is—shameless—to the—extreme!"

The voice rumbled, echoing repeatedly.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Then they saw Yan Zhining retract her martial soul, land beside Qin Jian, and then take Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu away.

"I didn't expect..."

The Shenfeng Yuanzhang's face twitched: "I didn't expect that this Yan Zhining, despite not being young anymore, still has the same witch-like temper from back then..."

"Her shout wiped out our academy's morale; it was even more ruthless than Qin Jian piercing through five people," the high-level commentator leaned in and whispered.

The Shenfeng Yuanzhang quickly recovered his calm expression: "It's fine. Getting them last place in the Ranking Tournament is better than anything. None of this matters now."

Not mentioning the chaotic atmosphere at Shenfeng Academy caused by Yan Zhining, here, Qin Jian, Shui Bing'er, and the others were laughing happily.

"Instructor Zhineng, you were truly too overbearing!" Qin Jian said with a chuckle.

Even now, he couldn't help but want to laugh when thinking about Yan Zhining's brazen move just now.

Who would have thought that this dignified Soul Saint would actually do something so childish?

"Mm-hmm, Instructor Zhineng was too cool!" Shui Bing'er agreed repeatedly.

Yan Zhining laughed: "I was truly just so angry..."

Even Huo Wu's eyes were shining: "I originally thought I would have to swallow my pride and leave Shenfeng Academy this time, I didn't expect Instructor Zhineng to be so formidable!"

The Blazing Academy instructor glanced at her and thought to himself: "That's because you children haven't seen the fearless 'Yan the Witch' from back then. This is considered a normal operation; it's already very, very good that she didn't tear Shenfeng Academy apart..."

Of course, he didn't dare say this to her face...

"Then would you like to come to our Tianshui Academy? You can be specially recruited into the Tianshui Team!"

At this moment, Yan Zhining suddenly said to Huo Wu with a beaming smile.

"Huh?"

Huo Wu was a bit bewildered.

On the other side, the teacher from Blazing Fire immediately jumped up: "Yan Zhining, how can you poach my talent right in front of me!"

Yan Zhining cast a glance with her beautiful eyes: "So you mean it would be fine if I didn't do it in front of you?"

The male teacher was instantly rendered speechless.

"Hey, your Tianshui Academy only accepts water-type Spirit Masters..."

"That doesn't matter, since we already have the exception of Qin Jian, adding one more fire-type is normal... Besides, this young girl is pretty, she completely meets our academy's requirements."

"That's going too far, you already have Qin Jian, and now adding Huo Wu, are you trying to reach the heavens?"

"......"
