"What the hell? How many actors did Tang Yi hire? Is this even an exam anymore? Everyone gets on the stage and just charges right off. What kind of bullshit competition is this?"
"This is the worst qualification exam I’ve ever seen."
"All this behind-the-scenes crap is disgusting!"
"Trash Tang Yi, get the hell out of here!"
"And those contestants helping him put on this show can get lost too!"
"If someone of Tang Yi’s caliber represents our Fengyue City at the West Mansion examinations, it’ll be a complete disgrace to our city!"
These were the voices of the irrational spectators. Regarding the performance of Tang Yi and his opponents, all they could do was curse and curse again.
Of course, there were rational ones, too.
"Why would so many people charge off the stage on their own? Something’s not right here."
"Yeah, I think so too. One or two matches, fine. But for it to happen this many times in a row is just weird. Even if Tang Yi could bribe people, he couldn’t possibly bribe this many, could he?"
"Besides, a lot of them are disciples from the Noble Families. I refuse to believe they’d go along with an act."
"And most importantly, the West Mansion isn’t intervening. For an organization that prides itself on being fair and just, to ignore this kind of behavior is just too bizarre. Aren’t they worried about what people will say?"
"Yeah, this is getting weird. Let’s just keep watching."
Amidst the discussions, Tang Yi’s seventh match began.
And his opponent was none other than Su Four Sabers, one of the seeded contestants who had earned an exam waiver!
Su Four Sabers was a Two-Star Battle Grandmaster, making his strength among the very highest of all the contestants.
If you had to name someone certain to earn a qualification spot this year, Su Four Sabers would be on that list.
Therefore, the match between Tang Yi and Su Four Sabers drew everyone’s attention.
In the eyes of the crowd, given Su Four Sabers’s strength, his victory against Tang Yi was a foregone conclusion.
However, Tang Yi seemed to be under a strange curse where his opponents would inexplicably charge off the stage themselves. So, the crowd was eager to see if Su Four Sabers would be the one to break this curse, or if he would follow the trend, charge off the stage, and hand Tang Yi another victory.
This match became the focus of everyone’s attention.
A showdown between the "Big Waste" and the genius shouldn’t have been a contest at all, but it had now bizarrely captured the entire audience’s attention. It was a ridiculous situation.
When Su Four Sabers saw that his opponent was Tang Yi, a brilliant smile spread across his face. He was overjoyed. He had been wanting to fight Tang Yi for a long time, and now his wish was finally coming true.
Of course, his goal wasn’t to spar with Tang Yi. It was to crush him!
He was going to crush Tang Yi!
A Big Waste like him wasn’t even worthy of being his opponent!
He was going to beat Tang Yi and expose him for what he truly was!
A Big Waste with a perfect winning streak? What a joke! He was making all the Noble Families of Fengyue City lose face.
If Tang Yi was allowed to go to the West Mansion Headquarter for the House Entrance Examination, what would the qualifying contestants from other cities think of the contestants from Fengyue City?
Su Four Sabers didn’t know how Tang Yi had made those contestants charge off the stage, but now that it was his turn, he wouldn’t let Tang Yi pull the same trick. He was going to utterly humiliate Tang Yi right here on the stage!
Once they were both on the stage, Su Four Sabers sneered at Tang Yi. "Tang Yi, I told you before to hope you wouldn’t run into me during the examination, or you’d be sorry. I can’t believe we actually met. I have the West Mansion to thank for changing the format. In a standard knockout tournament, I might never have gotten the chance."
"Are you that happy to be facing me? I, on the other hand, think this is quite a tragedy for you," Tang Yi said with a supremely calm smile, paying Su Four Sabers no mind.
"Hah! You’re really confident. You think I’m going to be like those others and just charge off the stage? I don’t know how you talked them into it, but your little game ends now," Su Four Sabers said disdainfully.
"Then less talk, more action. Let’s go! Don’t waste any more time. I’m tired and want to get this over with so I can go home and rest," Tang Yi said, rubbing his eyes and feigning sleepiness.
"Fine! Since you’re in such a hurry to die, I’ll oblige you! I’ll show you the power of a Battle Grandmaster and make you understand the enormous gap between a Big Waste and a true genius!" Su Four Sabers said coldly.
As soon as he finished speaking, he clenched his hand into a fist and threw a punch at Tang Yi.
"Overlord Body Fist!"
With a great shout, Su Four Sabers’s fist shot toward Tang Yi with ferocious speed. A faint yellow light enveloped his fist, making it shine dazzlingly, like it was forged from gold.
The punch sent a series of sharp cracks through the air, its momentum utterly extraordinary.
Anyone with eyes could see the incredible power behind Su Four Sabers’s punch. It wasn’t something any ordinary contestant could hope to resist.
On the high platform, the Elders and Clan Leaders of the various Noble Families were also visibly impressed by the punch.
"Clan Leader Su, your Su Four Sabers is truly incredible! He’s actually learned the Su Family’s Absolute Dominator Body Fist? If I remember correctly, that’s a Profound Tier Middle Grade Martial Technique, isn’t it?" one of the Clan Leaders from another Noble Family exclaimed to the Su Family Patriarch.
"Oh, you flatter me. Four Sabers has only achieved a minor level of mastery; he’s far from having learned it completely. Besides, our family’s Overlord Body Fist is just a parlor trick. How could it possibly compare to the Tang Family? Tang Yi sends people off the stage without even moving. Now *that* kind of ultimate technique is a true Divine Skill. My Su Family can’t hold a candle to that," the Su Family Patriarch said with false modesty, then turned to the Tang Family contingent with a deeply sarcastic tone.
Everyone who heard this knew the Su Family Patriarch was mocking the Tang Family, and they chuckled along. But the Tang Family’s response was completely unexpected.
"It is indeed a parlor trick. Compared to our Tang Yi, a Martial Technique like that is hardly worth mentioning."
"To spend more than a decade learning a Martial Technique of that level and only achieve minor mastery... that’s just pathetic."
"If I were from the Su Family, I wouldn’t show off such a low-level Martial Technique just to embarrass myself. It’s just asking for a slap in the face."
"Tang Yi is truly the peerless, once-in-a-century genius of our Tang Family. Look at how straight he’s standing! His expression is so calm! In this state alone, he has already completely defeated Su Four Sabers. There’s no need to even fight."
The Tang Family Elders all chimed in, each with a dead-serious expression, as if they didn’t realize the Su Family Patriarch was mocking them at all. Instead, they seemed to think he was praising them.
Huh?
What?
’A Profound Tier Middle Grade Martial Technique is pathetic?’
’Showing it off is an embarrassment?’
Hearing the Tang Family’s comments, the members of the other Noble Families were all dumbstruck.
The Su Family Patriarch was even more flabbergasted, his expression turning as ugly as it could possibly be.
’Have the Tang Family people lost their minds?’
’What gives them the right to say that?’
’Tang Yi is just a Big Waste! Where in the world are they getting this insane confidence from?’
’A once-in-a-century peerless genius? Him? Tang Yi?’
’Pah!’
The Su Family Patriarch silently fumed. He didn’t bother arguing with the Tang Family contingent, but simply snorted and turned his attention back to the match on the stage.
’Once Su Four Sabers defeats Tang Yi, let’s see if the Tang Family still dares to be so confident.’
