Chương 190: War God’s — Chapter 191 - Yan Zhaoxue: Senior's Righteousness, Ah!

On the stage. Countless gazes converged. Shock, surprise, bewilderment — one look after another swept over Wang Xian. The students below were the most confused. All of them looked utterly baffled. Wang Xian. Among Tian Du University students, especially first and second years, few didn't know the name.

Just half a semester: the Martial God true intent at the Dao Inquiry Stele upon enrollment, dominating the military training competition, teaming up with a fourth-year senior to clear the Coiling Dragon Mountain B-rank Relic by semester's end. Add the title of Martial Exam top scholar. How many could possibly not know him? Only... Bro. Since when did you become Principal Luo's disciple? Doesn't Principal Luo have only one disciple?

Just moments ago, nearly everyone's gaze had been fixed on the sky, watching the grandmasters emerge, admiring the peerless bearing of Seventh Realm Great Grandmasters. Hardly anyone had been paying attention to the Ten Thousand Stars Stage. Among the first-years, led by Dao Sanxiao, martial geniuses like Lei Hao and Lin Wujin who knew Wang Xian quite well. Question marks covered their faces. The second and third-year students were equally baffled.

Because the only disciple of Principal Luo that most students knew of was Ye Miyue, the taboo-talent possessor. Where did this new disciple come from? And besides...

"This Wang Xian, isn't he skilled in blade techniques? How could Principal Luo take him as a disciple?" Among the fourth-years, Bai Xingyun looked puzzled.

"It can't be that just because those two are close, she made an exception, right? Impossible. Knowing Principal Luo as I do, she would absolutely never do that..." As the soon-to-graduate president of the Sword Association, he'd been mentored by Principal Luo back in his first year, before she went into seclusion.

"Who knows..." Beside him, Chi Jiuyou said with a grin.

"President Yan should know this junior who shared hardships with her better, right?" Nearby, Yan Zhaoxue was frowning deeply. Something's off... How could Senior possibly take Principal Luo as his master? Absolutely impossible. Unless it's because of... Yan Zhaoxue looked toward Ye Miyue. Because of her? Why? Senior is definitely not the type to submit himself to another for a woman! No, it's not because of her! This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

Yan Zhaoxue's mind raced. Grandmaster disciples are mostly third or fourth realm. Their strength is terrifying. And if you're a grandmaster's disciple, you must use the corresponding martial arts. Otherwise, if people found out that a grandmaster, failing to train her disciple properly, just casually found an outside helper to muddle through, that would give others grounds for criticism. Not to mention, this is a Tian Du University Great Grandmaster. It would damage the school's reputation.

'There must be another reason...'

'I heard before that Principal Luo took her disciple out to train in some S-rank unmanaged zone...'

'Could it be that during winter break training, something happened to her disciple...'

'Normally, a taboo talent, even facing warriors one realm higher, still has a fighting chance.'

'If she's at third realm fighting fourth realm, with Principal Luo's training, her odds of victory are high.'

'Is she injured? Or did some other accident happen? Forcing the school and Principal Luo to temporarily find a substitute disciple?' At this thought. Yan Zhaoxue stiffened as she looked toward the group of grandmaster disciples. Among them, the only relatively strong ones were the grandmasters from North Bear, Great Eagle, East Sakura, and South Bang. Their disciples were likewise the strongest. Winning half the matches wouldn't be easy.

But if they sent one person up first to lose two or three matches, to endure through at least two of those sides, then Ye Miyue could handle the rest with relative ease.

'That's it, it has to be!'

'Senior is doing this for Tian Du University!'

'At today's Grandmaster Banquet, Tian Du Jingwu University cannot afford to lose face internationally. He must carry the martial banner for Principal Luo.'

'For him, losing two or three matches in public is humiliating, but Senior is righteous, putting the greater good first...' At this thought. Yan Zhaoxue drew a deep breath. Her eyes stung faintly. In truth, Senior is very strong. Currently third realm. In a real fight, whether Senior uses blade techniques or spear techniques, even these grandmaster disciples might not beat him.

If it were a life-or-death bout, she even suspected this battle-experienced junior senior could actually kill these grandmaster disciples... But if he fights as Principal Luo's disciple. Then he can only use sword techniques. But it's been such a short time. Senior isn't skilled in sword techniques. How could he possibly match these grandmaster disciples? Having figured all this out. Yan Zhaoxue couldn't help but gaze intently at the figure on the stage. Senior is always like this...

"Bro, haven't seen you for half a year... and you've become a grandmaster disciple?" Below the stage, it wasn't just Tian Du University. Students from the other Five Greats of Dragon Country were there too. For this Grandmaster Banquet, each of Dragon Country's Five Greats had representative students from every grade accompanying their instructors. Among them, Wang Xian's high school classmates: He Yiming, Lin Ao, and Xu Rong, plus Zhou Xukun who was also studying at a Tian Du university. All were present.

"Bullshit grandmaster disciple." Zhou Xukun scoffed.

"Wang Xian had zero interest in sword techniques back in high school. There's no way he'd take a sword grandmaster as his teacher just because of sword techniques..."

"My guess is, something happened to Ye Miyue, and she can't fully handle these grandmaster disciples."

"So he just wants to step in."

"I know him way too well!"

"By my guess, look at these grandmaster disciples. Old Wang is clearly here to hold the line for Ye Miyue.""'Tian Ji's horse racing.' That's our Dragon Country's fine traditional culture." Having said this. Zhou Xukun even picked his nose.

"Old Wang doesn't give a damn about his own face. But if these grandmaster disciples gang up on Ye Miyue, he definitely won't stand for it."

"Could it be for the honor of Tian Du University?" He Yiming analyzed.

"It doesn't seem like Wang Xian would be the type to act because of romantic feelings..."

"You haven't even been in a relationship yet. Stop analyzing."

"..." He Yiming. He pushed up the glasses on his nose bridge and shrugged.

"When I was coming here, that President Chen said..." Xu Rong spoke up.

"She said, at this Grandmaster Banquet, if Wang Xian goes on stage, there would only be one reason."

"What did Chen Yuting say?" Zhou Xukun asked.

"She said..." Xu Rong said slowly.

"He might simply want to go up and spar, train his martial arts, and see these foreign martial powerhouses. Everything else is just surface appearance."

"Exactly."

"He's doing it for martial arts." The group paused.

"How does he spar?" Lin Ao frowned.

"Using sword techniques he's completely unskilled in to spar with a bunch of third and fourth realm grandmaster disciples?" These few knew Wang Xian quite well. Now they couldn't help but look at the stage, at that figure whose presence was as striking as ever, their hearts full of curiosity. If even the students could guess a few things. The grandmasters, needless to say. Several grandmasters exchanged glances, all sneering. They were all grandmasters. How could they not know about each other's disciples?

You, Grandmaster Luo, have properly taken only one taboo-talent disciple all these years. If you had taken another disciple, even these foreign Great Grandmasters who frequently visit Tian Du would know about it. Then there's only one possibility. A last-minute recruit. As for why last-minute... Their gazes fell one after another on Ye Miyue. They understood at a glance. Their eyes all lit up. Clearly, there was a problem with this disciple. ➤ Next: Waiting for This Axe?
