At that time, the numerous gazes and expression people looked at Ye Qingyu with changed and became more complicated.
Clearly many people agreed with Bai Yuqing's reasoning.
Perhaps Ye Qingyu had remarkable talent, but he began cultivating too late and wasted four years of time. Being late one year on the martial path could possibly entirely extinguish a genius.
Adding to this was the fact that the starting point of Ye Qingyu was too low. He was a commoner, without resources for cultivation. If he wanted to catch up, there was basically no hope.
It was really a waste of such natural talent.
Within the crowd, the three roommates of Ye Qingyu after discovering who Ye Qingyu was, changed their expressions entirely. They were about to discuss how to become close to Ye Qingyu, but at this time they looked at each other, changing their minds.
Since it was a person who was fated not to have a future, then there was no need to waste time and resources in becoming friends with him.
Bai Yuqing seemed to have done this intentionally.
She evidently borrowed the incident of the list to throw out such an explanation. By doing this, she destroyed the aura of Ye Qingyu after his shocking performance in the examination.
Unquestionably, this incident would quickly pass into everyone's ears.
At that time, the entire Deer City will have another stance on Ye Qingyu.
It would be an average evaluation and a negative outlook.
The crowd gradually dispersed.
The morning's lesson, after these words, ended.
Faced with everyone's peculiar gaze, Ye Qingyu seemed as if he had not noticed anything unusual. He was at the back of the crowd, slowly walking towards the exit.
On his face was no trace of depression or sullenness.
It was as if nothing had happened.
Suddenly someone from behind him lightly tugged at his clothes.
Looking back, it was the clumsy little loli, Song Xiaojun. Her face filled with concern, said in a light voice, "Brother Qingyu, don't be sad. I think what Senior Sister said was not right, otherwise, I can go and find the head teacher, to give you my place on the list…"
Ye Qingyu laughed heartily.
At that time, the Xia Houwu next to him heard his laughter. His voice filled with mockery and disdain said, "Lowly idiot, you can still laugh…"
His voice was not loud, but it was enough for everyone nearby to clearly hear.
The little loli was suddenly anxious, glaring at Xia Houwu. She said angrily, "How can you say that…"
Ye Qingyu lightly held the little loli back, shaking his head.
Seeing this action, Xia Houwu and people nearby, laughed at him with contempt. This Ye Qingyu was so fearful and cowardly, that even when he was humiliated during the lesson and after, he did not dare to strike back…
This type of person would definitely not become successful.
Xia Houwu with a cold laugh, was about to turn and leave with his friends…
At this time, Ye Qingyu cleared his throat. Facing Xia Houwu's back he said with a smile, "Hey…"
Xia Houwu stopped, turning his back to look.
Within his vision, a fist was becoming larger and larger, quickly arriving.
It was Ye Qingyu's fist.
From the viewpoint of Ye Qingyu, striking back with words was often a pointless endeavour. Sometimes, there were only some words that a fist can say.
This rapid transformation made everyone unable to react.
Including Xia Houwu.
But he was only stunned for a moment.
The next second, an aura expanded from Xia Houwu. He lifted his hand, and with lightning speed counterattacked, grabbing Ye Qingyu's fist.
Suddenly the scene stopped.
At this time, many people reacted to this development.
The Ye Qingyu who everyone thought would swallow such humiliation, chose to strike back in such a way?
It was a pity, that this decision was too rash.
Xia Houwu was at the peak of the fifth stage in the Ordinary Martial stage and Ye Qingyu had not even began training. Even if his talent was greater, it was pointless, they were not in the same weight class at all.
By directly striking Xia Houwu, it only gave Xia Houwu an excuse to humiliate Ye Qingyu.
"Haha, hahaha…" Xia Houwu began to laugh. "Why have you attacked me sneakily?"
"Attacked you sneakily?" Ye Qingyu also laughed. "You're wrong, before hitting you, I gave you a warning."
He really did say 'Hey' as a warning.
"So what if you warned me? You poor little trash, you really dared to strike me?" Xia Houwu's expression slowly became fierce.
"When you previously used me to prove your point, you should have been aware this would happen. I'm the type of person that acts without caring about the consequences. If there is a grievance, then it should be repaid on the spot and not in the future."
"Hahaha." Xia Houwu laughed loudly, his expression becoming ferocious. "You really are an idiot, incomparably foolish. Revenge? Pitiful, how are you going to avenge yourself? Trash!"
Saying this, he started to apply force to Ye Qingyu's fist.
Xia Houwu would take out the humiliation that he suffered from Bai Yuqing onto Ye Qingyu…
The peak of the fifth stage of the Ordinary Martial stage, cleansing your marrow.
After entering such a stage, you at least have over five thousand pounds of strength.
This kind of strength, can instantly flatten a piece of steel, not to mention flesh and blood.
Faced with the Ye Qingyu who had not even properly started training yet, it was an absolute steam roll.
Many people thought they could hear the sounds of bones cracking, see the sight of Ye Qingyu's fist being shattered, blood spurting everywhere…
However…
"The one who is an idiot… is you"
Ye Qingyu's expression suddenly became sharp, taking a sudden large step. On his fist, a force like a powerful river streamed out.
Pak!
There were faint sounds of explosions in the air.
Everyone's ears began to burst.
Xia Houwu felt as if his right palm had been hit by a battering ram, instantly going numb. His entire person was sent flying by the impact, everyone letting out screams of shock. Only by crashing into the wall of the classroom was he able to stop.
"This…"
There were only the sounds of people releasing their breaths.
Everyone's eyes was as if they had seen a ghost.
Figures of everyone transfixed by this scene.
This scene turned around too quickly, causing nearly no one to be able to react.
"You… you… how is it… possible… that you were able to do this?" Xia Houwu leaned his back against the wall for support, humongous waves crashing in his heart, incomparably shocked. He even forgot to strike back.
Ye Qingyu stretched his arm a little, and said blandly, "I'm sorry, I used a little too much strength."
The other people watching were like fossils.
Little too… much strength?
Heavens, this was far more than using a little too much strength!
One punch to send someone in the fifth stage flying. This… no matter how you looked at it, it was not something a person without basic training can do!
Everybody's gaze when looking at Ye Qingyu was as if they were watching a monster.
There was a brief period of silence.
Ye Qingyu pulled along the dazed little loli, walking outside.
After walking to the door to the classroom, he suddenly thought of something. Turning back, he said to the crowd standing behind him with a gentle smile.
"That's right, for those students who may have some thoughts about me, I need to remind them of something. I'm a person that doesn't have much patience, and is pretty violent and straightforward. I'm also extremely petty and like to talk things out with my fist. In the future it's best if you don't aggravate me. If you really need to aggravate me, you need to really think it over before you do, if your strength is greater than mine is."
Finishing his sentence, he turned and left.
Only after Ye Qingyu had disappeared in the distance, did the last of the people in the classroom manage to recover.
Xia Houwu tightly held his lips together, a spurt of blood nearly coming out.
Within Ye Qingyu's fist, he could sense a terrifying and vast power. It was extremely abnormal, even defeating his power of the fifth stage, jarring his internal organs.
This was the reason he did not immediately strike back.
This… what is this kind of power?
Xia Houwu was filled with both hatred and shock.
And at the same time, the hearts of other students were terrified and shaken.
Especially Ye Qingyu's roommates, looking at each other. They would never have predicted that their shabbily-dressed roommate would be so strong.
The three of them, although part of the nobility and filled with arrogance, did not even place in the top one thousand five hundred of the examination rankings. They naturally could not compete with Xia Houwu. Since Ye Qingyu can send Xia Houwu flying with just one punch, then dealing with these three was surely a simple matter.
Thinking back to the words of Ye Qingyu, that he was an extremely petty person, made them feel extremely apprehensive.
...
There was a canteen in White Deer Academy.
While the public canteen's food could not be counted as delicious, but the good point was that it was free. Therefore Ye Qingyu's lunch was eaten in the canteen.
Those from wealthy or noble families naturally wouldn't appear in such a place. Only those from poor families would insist to eat in the canteen.
Only after eating four portions of food in a breath did he leave the canteen. Amidst the stunned stares of everyone, he left for the dormitory.
In the afternoon was the martial cultivation class.
Ye Qingyu decided to practice the breathing technique back in the dormitory before heading to class.
In reality, when fighting with Xia Houwu, Ye Qingyu's arm was hurt by the recoil of the impact. The reason why he had such explosive power was all thanks to the nameless breathing technique. Perhaps it had other uses.
But no matter what, without undergoing true body refining when compared to a fighter at the fifth stage of the Ordinary Martial stage, there was still a considerable distance.
He definitely must begin training soon.
However, Ye Qingyu did not regret in the slightest over the conflict with Xia Houwu.
He knew very well what his current situation was. On the surface, everything was peaceful after entering White Deer Academy, but in reality he had already garnered the attention of countless eyes, with many things moving behind the scenes.
So that was why he must be like a hedgehog, decisively striking back against all those who provoked him. Only by doing this, could he truly protect himself. He had to make those who wanted to act against him think better of it.
Ye Qingyu was planning in his heart.
At that time, when he was passing through a small silent path, an abnormal image appeared—
Ye Qingyu suddenly realized the surrounding light was as if it had solidified. Even a falling leaf was hanging in midair.
Before he could react, he felt a blur in his vision.
An unexpected figure appeared in front of him.
The head teacher of the first years, Wang Yan.
"Are you confused as to why, within the list, there was not your name?" Wang Yan's words contained a bland smile.
Ye Qingyu was shocked
He did not know what to say.
He was confused about not being able to enter the list. But, in reality, he really did not care about entering the list of ten. To receive more, you had to give out more. He did not want too many fetters tying him down to White Deer Academy.
Ye Qingyu had unshakeable confidence in his own talent.
This type of confidence was as if he was born with it. He firmly believed even if he did not join the list of ten, his accomplishments in the future would greatly exceed all ten.
On some level, he had never treated Qin Wushuang, Yan Xiantian as his opponents.
He has never thought about wasting four years staying in White Deer Academy practicing basic martial cultivation.
Ye Qingyu would use one year of his time to finish walking the road that others took four years.
He would only compete with time and not with people.
"In reality, from the start, the number one person who I picked to be on my list is you. The reason for this, apart from the evaluation from great teacher Hon, I have actually observed you in the selection process. I've heard numerous compliments and praises from different supervisors. To be honest, if I was to pick only one person instead of ten people, that person would be you, Ye Qingyu," Wang Yan said, sighing.
A small smile appeared on Ye Qingyu's face, respectfully nodding his head. "Thank you."
For a certain person who was extremely vain, this way of explaining things to him was extremely effective.
"However, at the time of my announcement of the list, the Dean suddenly sent an acoustic message to me. Because of a certain reason, you are not allowed to enter the list of ten." After every word she said, she would carefully observe Ye Qingyu's expression.
She discovered that Ye Qingyu's facial expression did not change at all because of her words, with no expressions of anger or excitement. It was as calm as a still pond under the sunlight. She knew, at that moment, she had still underestimated this teenager.
"For compensation, I can give you some special privileges," Wang Yan said with a smile and when she saw Ye Qingyu starting to shake his head, she held up a hand to stop him. "Don't reject it first, it is a nameplate that can allow you to enter the second year and third year areas. You can rely on this nameplate to enter the upperclassman's libraries and borrow the martial manuals inside."
Ye Qingyu hesitated.
If it was really this, then there was no need to reject.
Because these special privileges were exactly what he needed right now.
"Thank you head teacher Wang." He respectfully bowed to her, receiving the nameplate.
A smile appeared on Wang Yan's face and when she turned around to leave she said, "Do you know why I expect great things from you?"
Ye Qingyu quickly shook his head.
"You will know in the future."
Wang Yan smiled at him teasingly causing Ye Qingyu to feel extremely speechless, black lines appearing on his forehead*. Without any signs, her figure suddenly disappeared like a bubble popping in the air.
The solidified light from all around became normal again.
The leaf floating in midair, finally drifted to the ground.
"As head teacher, she would tease her students? Ahem… is this power from the Xiantian stage? Her energy can freeze an area of over a hundred meters?" Ye Qingyu did not know whether to laugh or cry.**
After experiencing Wang Yan's power, his desire to pursue the martial way was strengthened, but also his urgency.
Only by possessing power, could he solve the mysteries around him
Only by possessing power, could he control his own fate. Only then, could fairness and justice that has been gathering dust for many years, be shown.
... ...
Afternoon.
Seventh sparring grounds.
"The first skin layer stage is to first make your skin so tough that when you are hit with a sword, it will be as if it was hitting leather. This part of training, is done solely by relying on external martial arts with no shortcuts, only through hard training can you achieve this…"
In the martial cultivation lesson, a tall and muscular instructor was currently passing on the techniques to cultivate in the Ordinary Martial stage.
The efficiency of White Deer Academy was extremely high.
In the morning, the head teacher Wang Yan said they would split the class into groups according to their foundations. In the afternoon martial cultivation class, they had already been split up.
Ye Qingyu, along with eighty other students, began receiving the most basic martial teachings.
Those without any foundations in the martial way were practically all the commoners hoping to change their destiny.
Of course, geniuses like Yan Xingtian who already had a deep foundation, would not appear in this type of lesson.
The burly coach began to teach.
His every word was expressed in the form of a shout, vibrating the grounds like thunder.
"In the Ordinary Martial stage, there are six small stages. Skin, muscles and bone does not have any sequencing to it, you can train it in any order you wish."
"But after that in the blood, marrow and organs stage, then you have to be careful about the particular order. Because after, as you go deeper into the martial way, blood, marrow and organs already touches upon internal martial arts*. And these internal martial arts are what decide whether you are Ordinary Martial stage or Xiantian, if you train in a wrong fashion, it could very well threaten your life!"
"Right now I will pass on the method to train your skin, muscles and bones. Right now you don't need to understand, only recite it. And when you've memorized it, then you can slowly understand it. If there is any areas that you don't understand after three to five days, you can ask me for assistance, do you understand?" the burly teacher yelled.
"Understood!" the students responded in a similar fashion.
"Good, then listen carefully… External martial arts are only about one word, practice! How to practice, the most basic point is… Apart from this you have to practice until your shoulder and waist moves as one, your knees and arms moves as one, your hands and feet moves as one… your heart moves with your will, your will moves with your qi, your qi moves with your power…Yin and Yang flowing in a straight line, only then you can practice!"
The burly teacher shouted out the training mantras.
The students copied him, repeating the mantras after him.
Training in the martial way, the first step was to take note of the air around you. The air around you; that is qi. In the training process, you must make yourself be excited, loudly roaring so you can get your blood pumping, turning yourself into an animated state.
Ye Qingyu was within the crowd, similarly shouting.
Even though he had self-confidence in his natural talent, but he also understood the martial path was walked step by step. Even the best of natural talent needed to train hard, so at this time he could not be the slightest bit lazy but should rather put in a hundred times the effort than normal.
"What I passed to you right now, is the cultivation mantra. What I am going to pass on to you next, is [Serpentine stance] of the [Eight Divine Stances]. And this [Eight Divine Stances] is the culmination of countless experts of White Deer Academy. This is extremely suitable for training one's body at the Ordinary Martial stage, and the [Serpentine stance] is known as the stance to train your skin, being extremely profound…"
The burly teacher, after finishing these words, loudly shouted and moved his body, demonstrating the [Serpentine stance].
"The first stance, the [Golden Snake Moves Across Land]!"
The burly teacher's figure changed. His original muscular body suddenly seemed as if it was boneless, stepping forward. His palm was as if it was a snakes head, incomparably agile and his whole body was like a golden snake suddenly appearing on land.
There was faint sounds of 'sss, sss' in the air, as if there was a huge snake swallowing a bird, causing people to shiver.
Every student widened their eyes, carefully observing the burly teacher's every move.
"The second stance, the [Teng Snake**** in the Fog]!"
Half the body of the burly teacher was already on the ground, twisting in a strange way. It was as if there really was a Teng snake slithering on the ground. It seemed slow, but in reality was extremely quick and mists seemed to appear.
This scene seemed really as if a Teng snake was slithering within the fog, mysterious and frightening.
Ye Qingyu was deep in thought.
The [Serpentine stance] was the most suitable for training one's skin because the snake moved across the ground when it travelled. This would cause endless friction with ground, and to imitate a snake would mean to cause endless frictions using your skin. This would cause your skin to toughen and along with the [Serpentine stance], is definitely the best method to train the skin.
"The third stance, [Horned Snake Facing Its Tail]!"
The burly teacher changed his figure again, as if he really was like a snake, performing vividly.
"The fourth stance, [Mysterious Snake On A Rock]!"
"The fifth stance, [White Snake's Tongue]!"
"The sixth stance, [Wind Snake On A Tree]!"
"The seventh stance, [A Viper's Poison]!"
"The eight stance, [Divine Snake Moon]!"*****
The burly teacher constantly changed his forms.
Without knowing how long had passed, in Ye Qingyu's eyes he could no longer see the burly teacher. Before him, it was as if there really was an ancient snake moving, sometimes hissing, sometimes striking explosively, sometimes still as a rock, sometimes spitting out poison…
A vicious aura of a snake came at him, making Ye Qingyu feel as if he was in a crowd of ancient snakes.
"Good, today I will pass on these eight forms to you. Don't underestimate them, the forms are definitely not simple. Great things are made from simple things. Little kids, if you can successfully understand the essence of these eight stances within half a month, then you will definitely see the door to the first skin stage!"
The burly teacher finished demonstrating, loudly shouting.
His eyes swept across the students. He discovered that the majority of students were thinking furiously about something, with a few impatient fellows already beginning to imitate him.
He smiled and nodded his head.
They were geniuses selected from tens of thousands of people, and had managed to imitate to a level that was quite similar.
"Eh?"
His glance landed on Ye Qingyu, suddenly taken aback and letting out a gasp of shock.
He could see Ye Qingyu's body as if it was really a snake, utilizing the [Serpentine stance].
Under the sunlight, Ye Qingyu stretched. The first stance [Golden Snake Moves Across Land] had already been exhibited by him, with every action and detail being done superbly. Clearly, he had already understood the insights of the first stance.
"This is a bit interesting, to have understood so quickly…"
The burly teacher nodded his head silently. Ye Qingyu was an important seedling, he naturally had noticed him before.
The first stance of the [Serpentine stance] seemed simple but major insights were not easy to obtain. Contained within were the pure, profound understandings of countless experts who formed this stance from countless trainings. And the version of the [Serpentine stance] in White Deer Academy was different from the shortened versions outside. It was more profound, and to complete every stance you had seen was extremely taxing.

I love this description, its so Chinese so I decided to keep it in xD **there we have it boys. I don't know whether to laugh or cry, this is officially a proper xianxia now 😛 *** So quick 101 on Chinese martial arts. External martial arts are simply stances and techniques that you can accomplish using your muscles. Internal martial arts are moves that you can only do so with qi.
**** Legendary Chinese creature.
