Chapter 218: Everyone Wants Face as Spirit Masters~

...

How dare he, how dare he!

Yang Yan's eyes widened in disbelief, mixed with a hint of fear and palpitations.

The young man in front of her dared to point his sword directly at her.

Clearly, he was just a commoner, and yet he acted like this!

Moreover, she was already a formidable Spirit Master, while this young man in front of her seemed to be only at the level of a Spirit Elder. He dared to treat her like this, and it made Yang Yan tremble with anger.

Of course, there was also some fear involved because she hadn't noticed when this person had drawn his sword.

Perhaps it was because of her lack of vigilance. Yang Yan comforted herself in her heart.

Next to Zeng Yi, Fang Nan also jumped in surprise. She hadn't expected Zeng Yi's temperament to be so fiery that he would once again unsheathe his sword in public.

Seeing Yang Yan's frightened expression, Fang Nan couldn't help feeling a bit satisfied. She and this Yang Yan had never gotten along, and this woman had always caused trouble for her, which annoyed her. Now that she saw her in a difficult situation, Fang Nan felt quite pleased.

This small commotion attracted the attention of everyone in the venue.

"You're seeking death!"

Yan Yan was furious and quickly jumped back, her spirit power suddenly surging. Two yellow spirit rings and two purple spirit rings shimmered around her body as her eyes burned with anger, staring directly at Zeng Yi. Her powerful spirit force pressed down on him.

"Yang Yan, don't take yourself too seriously! You started it first." Seeing her like this, Fang Nan also felt uncomfortable, so she released her own spirit power with her spirit rings quietly rising, resisting the oppressive spirit force.

Two different spirit powers intertwined in the air, instantly filling the entire venue with a sense of gunpowder.

"Enough! Stop it, all of you!"

Suddenly, a voice rang out in the crowd, and Zeng Yi turned to see Shui Bing'ers face with a serious expression as she approached them.

Along with her voice, a stronger pressure filled the space, instantly suppressing the aura of both Fang Nan and Yang Yan.

A woman with six spirit rings shining on her body appeared. She looked young, with a full and curvy figure. Her light blue clothes outlined her tempting curves. She had a head of big wavy curls, wore round glasses on her face, exuded an elegant temperament, and had tender and plump pink lips, giving off a sense of allure and a faint smile. She had a gentle aura, which felt like a warm spring breeze.

"Everyone, please remain calm!" Her voice was gentle, like a gentle spring breeze, calming down the agitated emotions of those present. She seemed like a friendly older sister from next door.

Upon hearing her voice, Fang Nan immediately retracted her released spirit power and apologized with a hint of guilt on her face, "Sorry, Teacher Mu Yunyan."

Surprisingly, even Yang Yan, the noble lady, also swallowed her pride and apologized to Mu Yunyan, Dean from the Academy.

It appeared that this person should be a Teacher at the Skywater Academy. Fang Nan and Yang Yan had been educated by this teacher during their time as students, which left them with some lingering apprehension.

Zeng Yi caught the fleeting expressions on their faces. He was familiar with such expressions, just like Dai Mu Bai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar when they encountered Zhao Wuji.

As Shui Bing'er approached, she looked at Zeng Yi and said coldly, "You better put away your sword."

"Oh." Zeng Yi responded and sheathed his sword. Shui Bing'er then cast a stern gaze at Yang Yan and said, "Consider this a warning. If there's another incident, I will kick you out of here."

Afterwards she glared fiercely at Zeng Yi.

As the Student of Skywater Academy, her words held more weight than those of most teachers. This exchange event between the five academies was mainly hosted by Skywater Academy, and if anything went wrong, it would be a blow to the Academy's reputation.

Tch~

Yang Yan felt somewhat dissatisfied, but she knew Shui Bing'er's status within the Academy. As the most talented student in the Academy's history and the daughter of the Skywater City's City Lord, her identity attracted immense attention from even the Academy's principal, who often sought her opinion before making major decisions.

Although Yang Yan was also a student of Skywater Academy, she no longer held any position there. She was like a daughter who had married off and was no longer respected within the Academy. If it weren't for her noble status within the Skywater City, she wouldn't have been invited here.

Why didn't she mention her aunt?

With a dissatisfied glance at Shui Bing'er, Yang Yan turned and left the place.

After Yang Yan left, Shui Bing'er looked at Zeng Yi with a stern expression. "Behave yourself. If you want to fight, someone will come looking for you later."

Zeng Yi became displeased with her words. "What do you mean, I'm picking fights? I'm a Positive Energy Spirit Master, you know? It's clear that someone wanted to pick a fight with me, and I was just defending myself. I'm not the one who started it."

Then, Zeng Yi carefully pondered and realized that something was not right.

Why would someone want to fight with him?

"Are you plotting against me?"

"Eh eh, of course not." Shui Bing'er felt a bit awkward. Indeed, if she hadn't intentionally revealed Zeng Yi's identity as a disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the person from the Thunderclap Academy wouldn't have come looking for trouble.

Afterward, Zeng Yi went alone to a quiet pavilion, drinking and enjoying the beautiful scenery of the Heavenly Star Lake.

After some time, a figure appeared behind Zeng Yi, and he noticed someone approaching. He looked at the lake surface and said casually, "Want to start trouble again? Please, spare me and let me quietly appreciate this beautiful view."

Upon hearing Zeng Yi's words, the person couldn't help but laugh.

"I'm just here for a drink and to make a new friend."

Zeng Yi turned around and saw a young man dressed in blue, quite handsome, though not as attractive as himself. He held a cup in each hand, wore a gentle smile on his face, and looked at Zeng Yi.

Fang Nan had mentioned that the participants in this gathering were geniuses from the five major academies, and the clothes this person was wearing indicated that he was from the Godwind Academy.

Only students who possessed a wind-type martial spirit were accepted in the Godwind Academy. It seemed that this Academy was quite joyful!

Inspecting this person, Zeng Yi thought to himself.

"Feng Xiaotian, what should I call you, friend?" Feng Xiaotian introduced himself and handed a cup of wine to Zeng Yi.

Feng Xiaotian? That name sounds quite cheerful.

Zeng Yi murmured in his heart and responded, "Zeng Yi."

Feeling the goodwill of this person, Zeng Yi didn't refuse and accepted the cup of wine.

"I heard that Brother Zeng Yi is a member of the Upper Three Sects, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect." Feng Xiaotian said after both of them finished their wine.

And the corner of Zeng Yi's eye twitched. Indeed, that person, Shui Bing'er, had betrayed me; otherwise, why would someone come looking for me?

"That's right, what's the matter?" Zeng Yi asked.

Feng Xiaotian chuckled and said, "Your strength is impressive. If there's a chance, I'd like to spar with you, but..."

He paused for a moment and turned to glance at someone nearby. Zeng Yi followed his gaze and saw a black-haired youth with a lightning mark on his cheek, his eyes seemingly flashing with electricity as he glared fiercely in their direction.

"He wanted to challenge me just now, right?" Zeng Yi said. The clothes worn by that young man were the same as the person who had soaked Zeng Yi's clothes earlier; both were students from the Thunderclap Academy.

"I don't know him, so why did he want trouble with me? Could it be that he's jealous of me being better looking than him?" Zeng Yi said jokingly.

After hearing Zeng Yi's words, Feng Xiaotian burst into laughter. "Hahaha, Brother Zeng Yi, you have such an interesting way of speaking."

"But I am more handsome than him. It's a fact!" Zeng Yi's face was serious.

Feng Xiaotian felt a bit speechless. This was the first time he had met such a narcissistic person. He didn't know how to continue the conversation.

Helplessly, Feng Xiaotian said, "That person is called Yu Tianxin. He's a direct disciple of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Both you and Yu Tianxin belong to the Upper Three Sects and are outstanding geniuses of the same age. Naturally, when he sees you, he will want to exchange pointers."

"There's going to be a battle and exchange of skills soon, and Yu Tianxin will definitely challenge you. He possesses a spirit power level of forty-one. Brother Zeng, you should be careful." Feng Xiaotian warned. Among the geniuses from the five academies, the only one he feared was Yu Tianxin. Both of them were Spirit Masters at the forty-first level. Furthermore, while Yu Tianxin possessed the top-tier beast martial spirit, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, Feng Xiaotian also had a mutated beast martial spirit, the Stormwind Doubleheaded Wolf. He was confident that he was not weaker than Yu Tianxin.

But since the two of them had never seriously fought each other, the outcome was unknown.

Zeng Yi asked in confusion, "Isn't this something among the students of the five academies? How did it involve an outsider like me?"

Feng Xiaotian said, "That might be true, but since Brother Zeng Yi is here, it wouldn't be good to directly refuse if he openly challenges you. Otherwise, it would tarnish your reputation, right?"

"As Spirit Masters, we all want to save face~ You won't refuse when the time comes, right?"

Zeng Yi glanced irritably at Feng Xiaotian. He had a feeling that this guy was using him.

But it was indeed the case. When Yu Tianxin targeted him later and directly challenged him, Zeng Yi couldn't possibly refuse. After all, it would fulfill that guy's wish to be thoroughly beaten up.

After all, he was a positive energy Spirit Master who loved helping others.
