Chapter 15: Victory

"Since you want to fight, I naturally have no fear." Lian Ye's eyes were icy.

It was already annoying being dragged to school, and now I have to be provoked by others.

I must give that clueless guy a harsh lesson to vent my anger.

Upon hearing that, Zhi Cun Tuan Zang revealed a smile of his scheme succeeding, "Hmph, little brat, you'll soon know the consequences of angering me!"

Yuanfei Rizhan sighed helplessly, "This guy Tuan Cang is really impulsive!"

Lian Ye is, however, a child adopted by Lord Feijian, with Lord Feijian's guidance, his strength could not possibly be weak.

He was worried that Tuan Cang wouldn't be a match for Lian Ye...

Yuanfei Rizhan didn't know that Qianshou Feijian had never instructed Lian Ye.

Soon, the news that the two would fight spread.

The children who had passed the test came one after another to watch.

Even the children who were currently being tested would occasionally glance over.

A teacher wearing a Chunin Vest walked over with a black line on his face.

He was the homeroom teacher of Class A; he had just been busy with the test, and then this happened.

Especially since this matter had spread far and wide, even Lord Feijian knew about it, making the homeroom teacher feel as if the sky had collapsed.

"Do you want to fight?" the homeroom teacher said in a low voice.

Lian Ye noticed the homeroom teacher's unpleasant expression, merely nodded, and sensibly said nothing more.

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang, lacking such perceptiveness, eagerly looked at the homeroom teacher and said, "Teacher, I want to fight him; hurry up and announce the start!"

He could hardly wait to beat up that little brat!

Upon hearing that, the homeroom teacher's face turned very grim, and he instinctively looked toward Qianshou Feijian.

Seeing Qianshou Feijian nod, the homeroom teacher finally breathed a sigh of relief and announced, "Both sides, assume the Paired Stance Seal!"

The people present all made way, leaving a space for battle.

Lian Ye and Zhi Cun Tuan Zang faced off, the atmosphere tense and ready to explode.

Neither side intended to assume the Paired Stance Seal.

"Little brat, don't end up crying later!" Zhi Cun Tuan Zang said with a ferocious expression.

Lian Ye did not respond; he had no habit of spouting trash talk before a fight.

"Damn it!"

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang took the initiative, quickly forming seals with both hands, gathering wind-attributed chakra in his palms.

Those around, seeing this, couldn't help but exclaim.

They never expected that Zhi Cun Tuan Zang would actually use ninjutsu!

Moreover, his very first move was a B-rank ninjutsu; a slight mistake could endanger his life.

You must know, this was merely a sparring match!

The homeroom teacher's face was grim; he was about to scold, but Qianshou Feijian stopped him.

The homeroom teacher was somewhat shocked, but didn't dare say anything else.

Qianshou Feijian said with interest, "Little brat, let me see the fruits of your training."

Over this past year, he had kept an eye on Lian Ye's cultivation.

I have to say, this little brat really works hard.

If Lian Ye weren't a member of the Uchiha Clan...

... he might have taken him as a disciple.

What a pity.

It wasn't that Qianshou Feijian was unwilling to take Uchiha as disciples; it's just that the vast majority of Uchiha have overly extreme personalities.

Perhaps there could be a Uchiha who could become his disciple, who knows...

But Lian Ye need not even dream of it.

Qianshou Feijian knows Lian Ye very well; this kid is even harder to handle than the average Uchiha.

Who knows what extreme things this kid will do once he becomes stronger.

This is also why he is unwilling to guide Lian Ye.

……

"Wind Release: Vacuum Orb!"

Only saw several wind bullets shooting toward Lian Ye at extreme speed, each wind bullet possessing tremendous penetrating power.

Lian Ye's expression turned serious; he had previously underestimated Zhi Cun Tuan Zang a bit.

His body moved like lightning, dodging left and right, relying on his extremely fast reaction speed to evade this barrage.

Immediately afterward, Lian Ye quickly formed seals and softly shouted, "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

In an instant, a huge fireball shot from his mouth, rolling with scorching heat, sweeping toward Tuan Cang.

At the moment the fireball struck him, it turned into a wooden stake.

The fireball grazed past him, scorching the nearby grass.

The battle entered the white-hot stage, with the two exchanging blows, neither yielding.

The onlookers kept exclaiming; the combat power displayed by the two had already reached Genin level.

With such strength, is there still a need to come to school?

Only the children of commoners and small-to-medium families think that way.

The children from major clans, however, did not have much reaction.

The more Zhi Cun Tuan Zang fought, the more shocked he became, realizing he was actually no match for that little brat.

What a joke!

Thinking of the Shimura clan's genius, how could he possibly lose to a brat?

Cannot lose, absolutely cannot lose!

Lian Ye noticed Tuan Cang was flustered, and the corner of his mouth twitched upward.

Tuan Cang committed a grave mistake in battle; losing his composure makes it easy to expose an opening.

As expected, after a fight, Lian Ye spotted Tuan Cang's opening and landed a powerful roundhouse kick to his abdomen, sending him flying.

Tuan Cang fell to the ground, unable to get up for a moment, and the battle ended with Lian Ye's victory.

This... how is this possible?!

Lost... he actually lost to a brat!

Tuan Cang's face was full of reluctance; he wanted to rise but couldn't.

"Tuan Cang, are you okay?" Yuanfei Rizhan helped him up with concern.

"Get lost, I don't need your interference!" Tuan Cang angrily shook off his friend's hand and painfully crawled up from the ground.

Yuanfei Rizhan sighed helplessly; I told him to stay calm, but he just wouldn't listen!

Well, this is great, you lost, huh?

"Heh, is that all?" Lian Ye jeered: "I thought you were stronger. Go practice more."

Before the fight he disliked trash‑talk, fearing embarrassment if he lost, but now that he's won he naturally wants to throw in a couple of lines to flaunt his victor's status.

Tuan Cang's face flushed green then white, clearly furious.

Faced with Lian Ye's mockery and everyone's stares, he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into, and he hated Lian Ye to death.

The homeroom teacher told them to behave, then went to test the students.

"This brat..." Qianshou Feijian's expression was complex.

The combat power Lian Ye displayed has already surpassed that of an ordinary genin.

He turned sideways and took out the Uchiha Observation Handbook to begin recording…

The Ninja School's admission test ended.

The vast majority could only leave with their heads down, dejected.

Nearly a thousand students came to take the test, but fewer than three hundred managed to enroll, most of whom were children from the major clans, with fewer than a hundred commoners' children.

This shows that in the ninja world, it's still very difficult for ordinary people to become ninjas.

Of course, this might also be related to the test's difficulty.

The first batch of Ninja School naturally should be higher, and later the admission difficulty should be lowered.

After all, in wartime, a large amount of cannon fodder is needed.

After the test ended, the teachers of each class led the students to the classroom.

Along the way, Tuan Cang stared at Lian Ye with a grim expression, as if he wanted to devour him alive.

As for that, Lian Ye merely smiled and said nothing.

Just a defeated subordinate.
