"Yes, it's Zhu Xueyan. That girl who happened to be in your school. I heard that she was hailed as the Goddess of Jin. Some young masters originated from powerful forces even asked for her hand in marriage, but she merely looked at them in disdain."
The stunning lady had a fake look of envy and jealousy, which made her stunning face became cuter. Li Fenshuang blankly looked at her with a tint of confusion.
You're already so beautiful, and with your playful nature, perhaps even Zhu Xueyan couldn't compare to you in terms of charm; was it really necessary to be jealous of others?
"I think Senior doesn't need to worry about your looks. You're already so beautiful. Many would definitely be willing to marry."
"It seems like you've been entranced by me. But don't call me Senior. I'm younger than you, you know?"
Li Fenshuang turned his head to her, revealing a dumbfounded look. So young yet could give a recommendation letter for the Northern Star University at will?
He will turn 18 next month. That means she was even younger than that!
Looking at this carefree, stunning, and mysterious little lady, Li Fenshuang immediately had a headache. What a mess! Could it be that he fell into some sort of hidden conspiracy by associating with this ambiguous lady?
Like the usual trope of a desperate heiress trying to find an extra rope while they hang on the last strand of rope?
To make it worse, the lady just had to put salt on his wounds by giggling gleefully. Although it sounds pleasant, Li Fenshuang was forced to show a suspicious look.
The lady was amused, clearly understood what he was thinking.
"Don't worry! It's not as complicated as you think. I'm here with my uncle, so I'm just a middleman here. After I saw your impressive realm despite your nonexistent talent, I thought it would be great to give you a chance. Who knows? Perhaps you could return the favor and rise in the future! If you're just useless trash, then it's just a waste of recommendation, which my uncle could get again in the future; it's no big deal."
It hurts a little. Unfortunately, without the mutation of his heart, it would be true. Li Fenshuang showed a wry smile. Still, to think that this chance was granted by a little lady who whimsically gave out a recommendation to him because of her impression in his current circumstance.
He didn't expect his talent to give such a good thing. It was very ironic.
"If that's the case, then I really owe you. As for your decision today, don't worry. I promise that you will not regret a single thing you did to me! That recommendation would not be wasted!"
He was bound to rise with his current talents, not to mention the ones he'll receive in the future!
The lady was taken aback by his supreme confidence. His eyes are burning! There's not a shred of doubt or hesitation, only determination and excitement!
What made her confused was the lack of pride and arrogance; it was as if it was a fact that was bound to happen in the future.
Even Zhu Xueyan wasn't this confident!
The lady suddenly became curious. Just what caused this young man to be so confident?
"Your confidence alone assured me. Alright! This lady will have to go. Remember, I'll give you something good if you win, so make sure to win it!"
With a cheerful wave, the stunning lady slowly levitated from the ground like a celestial fairy. Her stunning face smiled cheekily and her graceful figure disappeared like the first time they met.
Li Fenshuang dazedly stood in the middle of the road.
"I will win. I'll give everything I've got."
It was somewhat weird, but he seemed to be charmed by that stunning little lady... Li Fenshuang turned puzzled. How could that be?
He was just fine yesterday when they met; what caused today to be different?
"Well, she was very stunning, so I guess it's not weird."
With a chaotic train of thought, Li Fenshuang walked towards the square town. The people around him seemed to have the same destination, although their expression was filled with excitement.
He suddenly got enlightened. They will be watching the competition!
"Damn, the yearly martial arts gathering is always so exciting. Rumors had it that even the geniuses of other towns have joined in the fun!"
"Our geniuses will have a hard time, no?"
"What do you know? Even if the championship is won by a genius from outside our town, our Goddess Zhu Xueyan will always be the undisputed number one prodigy in the Great Mountain State!"
"F*ck, that's badass!"
"We basically have no stake here! Hahahaha! Other geniuses still played around in this competition, while Goddess Zhu Xueyan has already been competing with those prodigies from the cities. I heard that even various forces began to send their proud geniuses to suppress her!"
"Just a bunch of overfed calves wishing to defeat our Goddess? Hah!"
Even when the main topic was the Martial Arts Competition, Zhu Xueyan still got brought up and even replaced the main subject. Li Fenshuang marveled; she had truly risen in this alternative reality!
Soon, the familiar building appeared. However, this time, the crowd of spectators was brewing with excitement. There are also many conspicuous, luxurious vehicles parked near the building.
Li Fenshuang was confused, but he soon understood when an arrogant young man with a white robe came out of a luxurious car, along with several lackeys.
Even a menacing man in his thirties came out. He was clearly the young man's father.
Several similar lineups appeared from these luxurious vehicles. Some even brought their siblings and parents, creating a packed group behind certain participants.
Li Fenshuang suddenly felt a bit of pity. All of that excitement, just to be punched in the face...
"Brother, you're alone?"
A vigorous voice called out. Li Fenshuang glanced at the youth who greeted him. He was surprised when their eyes met. It has to be known that Li Fenshuang is very tall. He's almost 2 meters in height. So for this youth to be able to meet his gaze, it has to be said that he was also very tall!
Li Fenshuang felt like he had met a comrade in arms. The youth seems to feel the same, looking at him with a gratified look.
"I was intimidated by the rich lineups here. So many contestants brought their families. I felt like a lone boat in the sea, while others were cruising. I didn't expect to meet someone who also came alone."
The youth's face is ridiculously defined. His jaw is very sharp. But his face looks amicable and easy to approach, creating this sense of contradiction that could not be explained clearly.
Li Fenshuang offered a smile as he put up his hand.
"It seems like we're fated to meet. Brother, what's your name? I'm Li Fenshuang. But you can call me Ang."
"Not bad! To say such a thing in our first meeting. I already like you! My name is Ye Lingtian, just call me Tian. Hehe, I have a feeling that we will be quite a good pair of brothers!"
As Ye Lingtian laughed loudly, Li Fenshuang was looking at him with an odd look. Ye Lingtian, huh?
What a peculiar name... He didn't think much of it though.
"Brother Tian, did you enter the top hundred through the second way? I didn't see you in the preliminary match."
"I did. Some troublesome oldies said that the preliminary match was a waste of time; it's a shame that I missed such an exciting battle. I heard that many were beaten black and blue!"
Ye Lingtian has a look of fervor as he imagines a fight full of brutality. His eyes were burning with excitement as he glanced at other contestants with glaring eyes.
"I really couldn't wait to fight against these guys! Entering the top hundred means that they are quite strong, right?"
The contestants, despite being surrounded by their protectors, felt an inexplicable chill in their hearts. They looked around in fear as their backs were covered with cold sweats.
"What's wrong, young master?"
"N-Nothing..."
A similar occurrence happened to many other contestants.
Seeing this, Li Fenshuang had an urge to hit himself on the back of his head. If he couldn't recognize him just now, then his reading license should be revoked. No, it should be better to dunk his own head into a toilet.
Sensing the terrible strength Ye Lingtian unconsciously emitted, Li Fenshuang's scalp turned numb. If he was suspicious before, then he is definitely certain now.
This is clearly the Son of Heaven!
"Calm down. The competition hasn't even started yet. You might be disqualified if you openly showed your 'hostility' towards others."
Although he was annoyed, he couldn't just take back his words as if they were worthless junks. In the end, to save himself, he could only hold back the Son of Heaven from causing havoc.
Wouldn't he be screwed over if he got targeted by those powerful daddies and grandaddies all by someone's nonsense of wanting to fight?
If he ran away, what if he drew the ire of this Son of Heaven? He would be more than screwed by then. He's not like those antagonistic leads. He has no reason to oppose a Son of Heaven, unless they started the conflict.
"Hostility? I just want to fight them! This is just me showing my intent and excitement!"
Ye Lingtian showed a wronged look, but Li Fenshuang had an inexplicable urge to punch it.
Intent? What intent? Intent to f*cking die?
That's what you said, but why did they show a fearful look? Li Fenshuang was speechless. Can't you see how you were looked on by those fathers? They looked like they were searching for their son's murderer!
He secretly rolled his eyes, "What an oblivious guy!"
