章 215: First fight at the academy

When the headmaster mentioned the newcomer's battle, everyone sat up. They seemed to be quite excited about it.

"What is the newcomer's battle?" Bai Yun asked his father.

"In most years not even one person can make it to the eighth floor. But if someone does, then one person will definitely make it to the ninth floor. The newcomers battle is a tradition where the person who reaches the ninth floor battles a senior who joined one or two years ago. The idea is to show them the great improvement in strength you can get in the academy and to pound down the excessive pride. But mostly it's just because the old man gets bored easily." Bai Mu explained.

"I see. " Bai Yun said.

"So who is coming for the fight this time?" The headmaster asked the old woman.

"According to tradition, Ao Tianzi is supposed to be the one fighting." The old woman replied.

"Where is he?" The headmaster asked.

"Not sure." She replied.
