Chapter 197: The Past of Zui Xiaoyao, Meigui is a Pitfall!

Meigui told Ye Bai that Qingshan Martial Arts University was once glorious!

At that time, Qingshan Martial Arts University even held eight of the top ten seats on the Hidden Dragon Ranking of the Tongtian Tower!

The top five were all from their school, and they occupied the top three!

However, the glory ended in less than three years.

Because of the deliberate targeting by Magic City Martial Arts University.

"Magic City Martial Arts University ruined many of the geniuses among the new students of Qingshan Martial Arts University at that time..."

"The methods were not limited to tricking our people into becoming exchange students."

"But because Qingshan Martial Arts University has become more dilapidated year by year, many other methods haven't been used for many years."

"I only know that at that time, many students, unable to bear the humiliation and ashamed to speak of their encounters, feeling it was their own problem, rushed into the Dimensional Gate to perish together with the Alien Race..."

"That year, in the top ten of the Hidden Dragon Ranking, only three students from Qingshan Martial Arts University remained..."

"The second year, in the top ten of the Hidden Dragon Ranking, there was not a single person from Qingshan Martial Arts University left..."

"The third year, on the Hidden Dragon Ranking, there were no more students from Qingshan Martial Arts University!"

Li Qingqing and the others were all shocked.

They had originally thought that Qingshan Martial Arts University had always been unreliable.

They didn't expect that there was actually a reason for it!

Meigui also told Ye Bai at the same time.

The reason there isn't a single Qingshan Martial Arts University student on the Hidden Dragon Ranking now is also because of the targeting by Magic City Martial Arts University.

Take her for example, she has the ability to make the ranking.

However, she has no confidence that she can face Cheng Yong and the other two...

In order to make the ranking, she has been working hard to become stronger in her own way for the past two years!

"However, I didn't expect what happened today, and I especially didn't expect that Cheng Yong and the other two would personally step in."

"Because this is the time when the names of the previous third-year students automatically disappear from the Hidden Dragon Ranking, which is the point when the ranking has the lowest gold content."

"Even if you, junior, entered the top two hundred, if your progress in comprehending your Martial Dao Will hasn't changed, you would likely be squeezed out of the leaderboard in half a year anyway, so there's no reason it should have drawn out Cheng Yong and the other two!"

Meigui then told Ye Bai the reason she didn't advise Ye Bai against going to the Tongtian Tower at the beginning.

Fast, too fast!

Ye Bai is brilliant, but the comprehension of Martial Dao Will is indeed difficult beyond measure.

Even if he is currently in the top two hundred, he might be squeezed out of the Hidden Dragon Ranking in half a year, so Cheng Yong and the other two shouldn't have come to trouble Ye Bai so early!

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaopang didn't find it strange, "Ye Bai triggered the Hidden Mode, so it's normal for Cheng Yong and the others to be wary and step in personally for that reason, right?"

"Perhaps it's because of Shangguan Yijian... no, Ye Sanjian!"

However, Ye Bai had a different guess about this.

For any unreasonable thing, it's correct to attribute the responsibility to that mortal enemy of Ye Sanjian!

But he didn't know that he had actually guessed wrong this time.

Ye Sanjian already had an agreement with Zui Xiaoyao, so he didn't even allow Shangguan Yijian to fight a Life and Death Arena match against Ye Bai; how could he possibly use such methods to deal with Ye Bai?

If he knew that Shangguan Yijian was dead, he himself would be even more eager for Ye Bai to challenge the Tongtian Tower with all his might...

In fact, Cheng Yong and the other two went to the Tongtian Tower in person because of the report from three geniuses on the Hidden Dragon Ranking.

They saw that Shangguan Yijian was dead and recognized Ye Bai, and the reason they immediately stepped in to target him was because they remembered a request from an "acquaintance" of Ye Bai's a few days ago...

Back to the main point.

"Principal Sun, and the teachers, didn't they do anything at that time? They just watched Qingshan Martial Arts University head toward decline bit by bit?"

After knowing the reason for the decline of Qingshan Martial Arts University, Ye Bai only had one last question.

Although this is the High Martial Era, let alone different Martial Universities, there is competition even among students of the same Martial University.

Magic City Martial Arts University letting their students target Qingshan Martial Arts University students cannot be faulted on principle.

But many students were driven to their deaths!

Can this be tolerated?

And he doesn't know how strong Sun Wudi is, but Zui Xiaoyao is a Martial King, and a strong one in the Martial King Realm at that!

Presumably, Sun Wudi wouldn't be weaker than Zui Xiaoyao, and Qingshan Martial Arts University still has other teachers in the Martial King Realm!

"You think, why does Teacher Zui Xiaoyao drink heavily all day?" Meigui gave a helpless smile upon hearing this.

As for the specific reason, Meigui didn't know clearly because she had only been at Qingshan Martial Arts University for a little over two years.

She only told Ye Bai that Sun Wudi, Zui Xiaoyao, and the others had gone to Magic City Martial Arts University to settle scores as soon as the first student from Qingshan Martial Arts University perished together with the Alien Race, but they returned not long after.

Since then, many teachers at Qingshan Martial Arts University seemed to have become different people.

The most typical example is Zui Xiaoyao; it is said that the former Zui Xiaoyao was very reliable and was a famous ace instructor in all of Great Xia.

But after that, he went from only drinking before needing to fight to drinking heavily all day, and the person himself became very unreliable.

He has been drinking for twelve years!

"So that's how it is..." After knowing everything, Ye Bai let out a long sigh.

Although he doesn't know what Sun Wudi, Zui Xiaoyao, and the others experienced on the day they went to Magic City Martial Arts University.

But he knows how reliable Zui Xiaoyao is when he isn't drinking, so it's not hard to imagine that the experience of that day must have left an indelible mark on Zui Xiaoyao.

"Junior, I have some things I'd like to tell you alone." Meigui continued.

"Look, can you ask your friends to step out for a moment?"

"Okay." Ye Bai paused, feeling that he had guessed what Meigui wanted to say.

It was nothing more than that today's matter wasn't actually his responsibility, and he didn't need to really fight a Life and Death Arena match against Cheng Yong and the other two in two months.

To put it bluntly, it was just like Xuanyuan Mu; she didn't think he could possess the strength to defeat Cheng Yong and the other two in two months' time.

However.

Unexpectedly for Ye Bai...

Meigui wanting to chat with Ye Bai alone did indeed have reasons for not being optimistic about him, but that only accounted for half of it.

"Junior, I have already told you everything you wanted to know. Look, when will you fulfill the two promises you owe me?"

"Although you will challenge the Tongtian Tower sooner or later, and will face Cheng Yong and the others sooner or later, two months is too short."

"In two months, I will help you handle Cheng Yong and the others, how about that?"

Seeing Meigui watch Li Qingqing and the others leave, her eyeballs suddenly rolled.

Her expression turned cunning, and she grinned!

"What?" Ye Bai was stunned for a moment, not reacting in time.

A second ago, wasn't Meigui looking sorrowful, telling him the secrets of Qingshan Martial Arts University and Magic City Martial Arts University?

He could understand challenging the Tongtian Tower sooner or later.

After all, Zui Xiaoyao had shown him kindness.

Even without today's events, once he learned of Zui Xiaoyao's experiences in the future, he would still go to challenge the Tongtian Tower, in the name of a Qingshan Martial Arts University student, to reach the top of the Hidden Dragon Ranking.

But when did he owe Meigui unfulfilled promises? And two of them?

"Junior, no way, no way, you don't mean to tell me you didn't know that any information you didn't know before, once I tell you, counts as one piece of intelligence?"

"Calculating it this way, you have learned fourteen pieces of intelligence from me so far; gather one more, and you'll have to do three favors for me!"

Meigui blinked her eyes and added.

Fourteen pieces of intelligence?!

Ye Bai was dumbfounded!

He had thought that although Meigui wasn't very reliable, she was at least more reliable than Sun Wudi, who tried to swindle him from the start, or the drunk Zui Xiaoyao.

Only now did he realize, it was all fake; Meigui was the true pitfall!

This senior had been calculating against him since he entered the hospital room!

"Junior, don't make that face. I operate with integrity, and I keep my word."

"In two months, you wanting to possess the strength to defeat Cheng Yong and the others is too unrealistic, but I can do it, Senior; I can definitely settle them for you!"

Meigui blinked her eyes again.

"Choose one, the two things you must complete for me now."

"One, help me bear a small portion of the Merit Points I owe Sun Wudi, not much, 15,000 Merit Points."

"Two, go help me explore a special Secret Realm. I need the things inside to become stronger. This concerns whether I, your senior, can wash away my shame and defeat Cheng Yong and the others in two months!"

"Oh right, you can only choose once to bear my debt!"

So no matter what, I have to go into a Secret Realm for you?

So Sun Wudi gave up on trying to swindle him back then because he knew Meigui would be even more of a pitfall?

The corner of his eye twitched uncontrollably.

He only felt that in the future at Qingshan Martial Arts University, he must be careful, careful, and even more careful!

"Junior, how do you choose?"

"Can I not choose?"

"To tell you the truth, one of my Martial Arts Talents is Fair Trade."

"From the moment you learned the corresponding amount of intelligence from me, the trade was already established. Even if you don't choose now, when the time comes, my talent will automatically choose for you."

Meigui was all smiles.

"And Senior saying I'll help you handle Cheng Yong and the others in two months also counts as a trade."

"So you won't lose out; helping Senior is the same as helping yourself!"

Ye Bai felt even more helpless.

But he still didn't intend to choose.

Not just because 15,000 Merit Points was a lot!

He was also very short on money right now!

Ye Bai vaguely realized that the special Secret Realm was the one Meigui had mentioned before, the way she was working hard to become stronger... and since Meigui herself wouldn't go explore it, but instead used a deceptive way to find others to help, it must also be a pitfall!

Furthermore, if what Meigui said was true, if he agreed to Meigui, then in two months, Meigui would have to solve the problem of Cheng Yong and the others for him!

However, he wanted to solve this matter himself!

"And my talent is 【Reset】."

"What does the trade I reached with Meigui now have to do with me at eighteen, when I first awakened my talent?"

Intuition told Ye Bai that Meigui's talent was useless against him!

However.

The next words from Meigui made Ye Bai change his mind...

It was her telling Ye Bai the details of that special Secret Realm.

"Junior, just help Senior out~"

"Exploring that Secret Realm is not dangerous~"

"The only problem with entering that Secret Realm is..."
