223: Italian martial arts university admits: Utterly insane!
Ning Tianyun's identity could be guessed by anyone whose Realm was higher than Ninth Realm Middle Stage.
Xiao Wufeng was also one of those who knew Ning Tianyun's true identity.
It was precisely because of this that when he encountered Ning Tianyun at the Martial Arts Examination venue, Xiao Wufeng left without looking back.
First, he couldn't defeat him.
Second, he was wary of Ning Tianyun's identity.
All things considered, having a conflict with Ning Tianyun was a completely losing proposition.
Not to mention Ning Tianyun's own strength, who would dare to clash with God Ning's descendant?
"Still no reply?"
Li Caiqing's expression grew increasingly solemn. What did Snow Saint's lack of reply mean?
It meant that the matter of Ning Tianyun defeating Snow Saint was very likely true.
Snow Saint, out of concern for her reputation, chose to refuse to answer.
After all, being defeated across Realms by a Ninth Realm Initial Stage Martial Artist was a very humiliating thing.
"Why don't I go ask Snow Saint?"
Beside him, Qu Yunyin stood up, ready to act.
"Don't go. If you go now, you'll only be causing trouble."
"Snow Saint will speak when she wants to."
Xiao Wufeng immediately stood up to stop Qu Yunyin, holding her back.
What a joke. Even if Snow Saint lost to Ning Tianyun, she was still a powerful Martial Saint.
If things went wrong, it could easily sour the relationship between Snow Saint and Yi Wu University.
At that time, if Snow Saint left Yi Wu University and resigned from her Martial Arts Academician position, it would be a huge loss.
After Xiao Wufeng spoke, Qu Yunyin reluctantly sat back down.
The room fell into silence, the atmosphere heavy.
If the university's senior management was like this, one could imagine how bad Wen Xiuze, Deng Yinian, and others felt at this moment.
Their Martial Saint from Yi Wu University being defeated by a first-level professor from Zhanfeng University, this matter was simply like a fantasy.
8:10 PM.
The onlookers gradually felt that something was amiss.
"What's going on? Why hasn't Snow Saint herself issued a statement that the news is false? There hasn't been any movement at all."
"Don't mention Snow Saint; even Yi Wu University hasn't come forward to speak, just letting this trending topic hang there."
"Could it be... this matter is true?"
As soon as this comment appeared,
comments surged by two million in one minute.
"Oh my goodness, who has all of Ning Tianyun's information? I can pay a hefty sum to buy it."
"Quick, quick, find out what abilities this first-level professor possesses and which Family in Jing Province he belongs to."
"Unbelievable, Yi Wu University's Snow Saint might really have been defeated by a Zhanfeng University professor. This is truly absurd."
They finally came to their senses, realizing the seriousness of the situation.
Xiao Wufeng continuously refreshed the comments in the Principal's office. In just ten minutes, the public opinion had completely shifted.
Li Caiqing didn't look at these comments; he observed Xiao Wufeng's expression and knew what was being said without even looking.
"Alas..."
Li Caiqing let out a helpless sigh.
"Let me go ask Snow Saint after all."
Suddenly, Xiao Wufeng's expression changed drastically: "Principal, no!"
Li Caiqing's tone was low: "Are we just going to let it drag on like this?"
"Although I don't know what Ning Tianyun's intentions are, or who he promised to defeat Snow Saint for."
"We must provide an answer to others regarding this matter."
Li Caiqing didn't dare to say a perfect answer; Snow Saint's defeat had truly caught them off guard.
Receiving this news without any preparation was also a huge blow to them.
Zhanfeng and Yi Wu, the two Martial Arts Universities, have maintained their transcendent status for so long precisely because of their three Martial Arts Academicians.
The deterrent power that a faction possessing three Martial Saint-level powerhouses brings to the outside world is self-evident.
Even the Qin Family, the top Family in Jing Province, only had two Martial Saints on the surface.
This comparison shows how deep the foundations of Zhanfeng and Yi Wu are.
Therefore, Snow Saint's defeat, especially by a first-level professor from Zhanfeng University, was a severe blow to Yi Wu University's prestige.
Ignoring Xiao Wufeng's words, Li Caiqing opened the door and left instantly.
"It's truly terrifying. Ning Tianyun is so young, yet his strength is comparable to, or even surpasses, some Martial Saints."
"Could it be that he wants to become the second Tenth Realm in Xia Nation?"
Seeing that he couldn't stop Li Caiqing, Xiao Wufeng sat down helplessly, muttering to himself.
"If I remember correctly, Ning Tianyun is only thirty-two years old..."
"Thirty-two years old with Martial Saint strength..."
After Qu Yunyin finished speaking, both of them fell silent.
"How old was Star Saint when he achieved the Martial Saint position back then?"
Suddenly, Qu Yunyin's eyes swept towards Xiao Wufeng.
Xiao Wufeng pondered for a moment, then his eyes trembled as he said: "Forty-three years old!"
"But back then, Star Saint was Ninth Realm Peak. Currently, Ning Tianyun's Realm is still unknown."
Qu Yunyin slowly closed her eyes, her lips trembling slightly as she spoke.
"One became a Ninth Realm Peak Martial Saint at forty-three, and one defeated a Martial Saint at thirty-two."
"Between Star Saint and Ning Tianyun, who is superior?"
Xiao Wufeng smiled bitterly upon hearing this: "Who knows?"
"Star Saint's background is mysterious; his name is unknown, only that he is the Master of Ning Xiang Martial Arts Hall."
"And Ning Tianyun is a descendant of God Ning, with extraordinary talent and terrifying strength."
"It's really hard to compare the two."
Xiao Wufeng and Qu Yunyin, the two Vice Principals, actually didn't know that Star Saint was also a descendant of God Ning!
God Ning had kept Star Saint's identity very well hidden, completely preventing the outside world from knowing their relationship.
This shows that God Ning's doting on Star Saint was not baseless.
Five minutes later, Li Caiqing appeared in the office with a blank expression.
"Snow Saint lost."
With just these four words, Xiao Wufeng and Qu Yunyin felt as if the sky was about to collapse.
Snow Saint actually lost to Ning Tianyun!
Li Caiqing's face showed no emotion, then he spoke to Xiao Wufeng and the other.
"Issue a statement in the name of Yi Wu University."
"The matter of Ning Tianyun defeating Snow Saint is indeed a fact."
It could be heard that Li Caiqing's words were filled with deep helplessness.
Continuing to deadlock like this would be more detrimental than beneficial to Yi Wu University.
Public opinion would also become increasingly absurd, slowly leaning towards Ning Tianyun.
"Snow Saint... did she agree?"
Qu Yunyin looked at Li Caiqing and asked.
"The statement was issued with Snow Saint's consent."
"To be able to pick up and let go is to be a Martial Saint."
Li Caiqing gradually came to terms with this matter. The first time he saw Snow Saint, Li Caiqing noticed that after only a brief struggle on her face, she calmly stated the fact of her defeat.
"After this battle, I understand that one must not underestimate anyone of a lower Realm."
"Everyone possesses different potential, and Ning Tianyun is the person with the most outstanding potential I have ever seen in my life."
"He might be able to reach the same Realm as God Ning, reaching the Tenth Realm."
"Losing to a future Tenth Realm is not something to be ashamed of."
These were Snow Saint Chen Mengxue's original words.
Hearing these words, Li Caiqing also showed a relieved expression.
Two minutes later, another trending topic swept across Xia Nation.
It directly pushed the trending topic of Ning Tianyun defeating Snow Saint to second place.
"[Yi Wu University: The matter of Ning Tianyun defeating Snow Saint is a fact.]"
At this, everyone who was following this matter was completely stunned.
Snow Saint, the exalted Martial Saint, was defeated by a first-level professor in a counterattack!
Seeing this trending topic, besides Yi Wu University, only two people were not happy.
Star Saint, and Li Dieyi.
