47: Chapter 47 Reconsidering Their Stance: The Elephant Team Gets Slapped in the Face

Inside the Principal's office at Tianshui Academy, the atmosphere was heavy.

The expressions of both Principal Huo Chen and Principal Shui Wuyue carried shock that was difficult to calm.

"Old Man Feng." Principal Huo Chen's voice was somewhat dry. "The matter you mentioned yesterday... we would like to discuss it in more detail."

Principal Shui Wuyue also nodded gently, waves of emotion surging within her usually calm eyes.

Feng Qingyang sat opposite the two of them, his expression composed.

He had long expected that his two old friends would change their minds after witnessing the astonishing changes in Feng Xiaotian.

"It seems that the performance of that child, Feng Xiaotian, today has swayed the two of you?"

Feng Qingyang took a light sip of hot tea, his tone calm.

"In such a short time, a Breakthrough to level forty-four! The fourth spirit ring is nearly ten thousand years old!"

"Old Man Feng, is this truly... just an Opportunity bestowed casually by His Highness the Holy Son?"

Principal Huo Chen took a deep breath, his eyes filled with burning heat.

Principal Shui Wuyue was relatively restrained, but her slightly trembling fingers betrayed the excitement in her heart:

"Dean Feng, last time you said that following His Highness the Holy Son could obtain unimaginable resources."

"Now it seems that what you said... was still too conservative."

Feng Qingyang looked at the two old friends he had known for decades, feeling moved in his heart.

When he had tried to persuade them earnestly yesterday, the two of them were still full of concerns, and Principal Huo Chen had even scolded him angrily.

Now that they had seen Feng Xiaotian's transformation with their own eyes, their attitudes were completely different.

"Then..." Feng Qingyang put down his teacup. "What is the intention of you two now?"

"We want to... pay a personal visit to His Highness the Holy Son."

Principal Huo Chen and Principal Shui Wuyue exchanged a glance, and finally, Principal Shui Wuyue spoke up.

"That's right." Principal Huo Chen added immediately. "Both of our academies are willing to reconsider our positions."

Feng Qingyang nodded slightly.

"Rest assured, I will personally report this to Your Highness, but..."

He paused, then said solemnly: "His Highness has a noble status; whether to see you or not depends entirely on His Highness's will."

"That is only natural." Principal Shui Wuyue said quickly. "We will await the good news."

Principal Huo Chen also nodded heavily, his eyes full of anticipation.

Feng Qingyang looked at the expressions of his two old friends and knew that they were truly tempted this time.

This result was for the best, and Feng Qingyang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The three of them had known each other for decades; if they were to eventually part ways because of different positions, he would inevitably feel regret in his heart.

Now that Principal Huo Chen and Principal Shui Wuyue were willing to consider following His Highness the Holy Son, it meant that the three of them could continue to walk side by side just as before, without harboring any resentment because of this.

For Feng Qingyang, this was undoubtedly the best ending.

"Since that is the case." Feng Qingyang showed a gratified smile. "After the match today, I will go to seek instructions from His Highness the Holy Son. I believe His Highness will not refuse the sincerity of you two."

Principal Huo Chen patted Feng Qingyang on the shoulder heavily: "Old Man Feng, thank you."

Principal Shui Wuyue also nodded slightly, her eyes filled with gratitude.

The arena in the afternoon was packed, filled with beautiful students from Tianshui Academy.

This duel was Tianshui Academy against Elephant Armor Academy.

Naturally, they were there to support their own team.

When the two teams stepped onto the ring.

Young Sect Master Huyan Li unabashedly sized up the seven members of the Tianshui Team, his gaze finally settling on Shui Binger.

"Little Sister Binger, it's been so long, you have really grown more and more beautiful!"

He grinned, revealing an arrogant smile, his voice loud enough for the whole arena to hear.

The members of Elephant Armor Academy behind him burst into laughter.

A commotion immediately broke out in the spectator stands.

Shui Binger's face instantly turned cold as ice.

"Keep your mouth clean!"

Shui Yueer was furious and pointed at Young Sect Master Huyan Li, cursing him.

The other team members also glared fiercely at Young Sect Master Huyan Li.

Young Sect Master Huyan Li didn't care at all and continued his teasing.

"Yo, you little beauty are quite spirited too, but well..."

His gaze returned to Shui Binger: "I still prefer an ice-cold beauty like your sister; it's more satisfying to conquer."

"Young Sect Master Huyan Li, watch your language!"

The referee frowned and shouted a warning.

Now that the Elephant Armored Academy had defected to Spirit Hall, they didn't want to provoke them easily.

"What? Did I say something wrong?" Young Sect Master Huyan Li spread his hands. "Everyone has an appreciation for beauty, right."

"Little Sister Binger, how about considering dating me?"

"I am the Young Lord of the Elephant Armored Academy, one of the Seven Great Sects; I am more than enough for you."

"Keep dreaming!" Shui Yueer couldn't help but speak up again.

Young Sect Master Huyan Li completely ignored her angry rebuke and became even more smug.

"Little Sister Binger, I'll give you a piece of advice: it's not too late to surrender now, so as to avoid losing face in front of so many people later. After all, for a girl, it's not a good look to be beaten too badly."

"If you get hurt, I'll be heartbroken."

The team members behind him also joined in the heckling:

"Captain is right! Just surrender obediently; fighting and killing is so ungraceful!"

"Are you done?" Shui Binger looked at him coldly. "Young Sect Master Huyan Li, you will pay for every word you said."

"Yo, angry?" Young Sect Master Huyan Li laughed out loud. "I just like you prickly ones!"

"Young Sect Master Huyan Li! Last warning! If you speak rudely again, you will be directly disqualified!"

The referee couldn't stand it anymore and shouted sternly.

Young Sect Master Huyan Li restrained himself slightly, but he still cast a frivolous look at Shui Binger.

Shui Binger ignored his provocation, turned around, and made a gesture to her team members to prepare for battle.

The cold air radiating from her body caused the temperature of the entire ring to drop by a few degrees.

"Brothers, go easy on them later, don't hurt the beauties."

Young Sect Master Huyan Li said to the team members behind him, casually moving his wrists.

Before the match had even begun, the smell of gunpowder already filled the entire arena.

Seeing that both sides were ready, the referee immediately announced the start of the match.

Young Sect Master Huyan Li took the lead, his Diamond Mammoth Spirit possessed, and led his team members to launch a fierce charge, attempting to crush Tianshui Academy in one fell swoop by relying on strong defense and power.

However, they were soon as pathetic as they had been arrogant just moments before.

Under Shui Binger's precise ice-type control, the movements of the Elephant Armor Academy members became sluggish one by one.

Under Shui Binger's calm command, the team members perfectly avoided wave after wave of frontal impact.

Shui Yueer and others seized the Opportunity to launch an offensive, working together tacitly to defeat the Elephant Armor members one by one.

After a long time, the ring was covered in frost, and at this moment, only Young Sect Master Huyan Li remained, struggling to hold on.

But in the end, he was also completely trapped by the ice, and the Tianshui Team worked together to knock him off the ring.

Young Sect Master Huyan Li was the most miserable one, covered in ice shards and unconscious.

"Tianshui Academy wins!" The referee announced immediately.

Shui Binger withdrew her Spirit and calmly led her team members off the ring, without glancing at Young Sect Master Huyan Li once throughout the whole process.

This clean and neat victory by the Tianshui Team made all the Tianshui students in the audience cheer for them.

"Wow! Senior Sister Binger is amazing!"

"The team coordination was too perfect!"

"Senior Sister Binger's control is simply terrifying!"

...

At the same time, the crowd also discussed the previous arrogance of the Elephant Armor Academy.

"Haha, they were so arrogant, now they've been slapped in the face, right?"

"They're not strong but still so wild, what a joke."

"Young Sect Master Huyan Li should learn a lesson now, daring to tease our Senior Sister Binger! Serves him right!"

...

On the spectator platform, Ji Xuan watched this scene coldly.

This Elephant Armor Academy really ruined the reputation of Spirit Hall, and it was no wonder that these elemental academies had such a poor perception of Spirit Hall.

The Elephant Armored Academy relied on their defection to the Supreme Pontiff Palace to be arrogant and domineering; such a style was simply smearing the entire Spirit Hall.

A flash of coldness flickered in Ji Xuan's eyes.

It seemed that it was time to reorganize the subordinate forces of Spirit Hall.

If these people were allowed to do whatever they wanted, the reputation of Spirit Hall on the continent would be completely ruined by them.
