At this moment …

Oh? Even the five heaven's pride level experts couldn't gather up the Sky Bearing Academy?

Chu Xiao turned his head to look. On the seat which belonged to Red Dust Palace, he saw a vicious youth curled his lips and laughed coldly!

His name was Qiao Tian, and the one sitting behind him was his junior brother 'Le Yang'! These two people were called by Red Dust Palace for help!

The Vice Principal walked to Chu Xiao's side and reminded him in a low voice.

Chu Xiaodan nodded slightly, then turned to Qiao Tian and laughed: To deal with you, that is enough.

Qiao Tian shook his head in disdain. What kind of monster was this? So he was just an arrogant fool.

They had not even gathered all five and they already dared to participate in Jiuyao Battle … If he wasn't a fool, then what was he?

What did you say!?

Before Chu Xiao could respond, Lu Jiuer and the others couldn't help but shout out, and the people from the Red Dust Palace side laughed. They cooperated with Qiao Tian's ridiculing voice, and the people from the Sky Bearing Academy side immediately retorted back … The two sides immediately quarreled!

All right, everyone, put out the fire.

Just as the two sides were at loggerheads, a clear sound suddenly rang out. Everyone turned their heads and saw a young girl in white slowly walking over. Wherever she went, snow would fall. It was extremely beautiful!

Behind her, there were five masked men with auras as deep as the abyss. Some of them had stooped bodies, some had graceful bodies, and some had white hair … The five described different things, but their steps were surprisingly the same!

So it was the Middle Continent envoy.

When the two groups saw this, they immediately stopped arguing and cupped their fists and bowed.

The girl in white saluted back at the same time as the five of them and then slowly walked down the stage. Everyone quickly made way. Soon, the five of them sat down at the same time and a faint, clear voice resounded throughout the entire arena.

Jiuyao Battle, prepare.

The spectators were all seated! Fighters, get into position!

As soon as she finished speaking, rows after rows of Middle Continent spectators filed in and sat down. The area was immediately bustling with noise and excitement, both sides were also startled, the white-clothed young lady nodded, and said: "This session of Jiuyao Battle, will be decided by us, the Middle Continent envoys." The first battle would last for ten years. If you have any objections, you can all bring them up now.

We have no objections.

The Vice Principal and the hall master of the Red Dust Palace spoke at the same time.

Alright, then I announce that this session of Jiuyao Battle will officially begin!

The white-clothed girl announced with a sonorous and forceful voice. She had won three out of five rounds. The first match would be a competition of pinyin, as per previous practice! Each side had to choose their victors!

As the sound of his voice faded, the entire Red Dust Palace area was in an uproar. A beautiful young man brimming with energy and vitality slowly walked up the stage.

Expert!

This person was an absolute master of sound!

My name is Le Yang, may I ask which one of you is my opponent?

Le Yang walked up onto the stage and stood with his hands behind his back, sweeping his gaze across Chu Xiao and the others.

Senior! Let me do it!

Lu Jiuer immediately clenched her fist. Amongst all the people present, she was the only one who had learnt the Zither Technique. But unexpectedly, Chu Xiao waved his hand, turned and looked at Lu Renjia, and said: "Do you still remember what I taught you before?

Go up and kill in every direction!

The moment his voice fell, the entire audience was stunned!

Lu Jiuer and the others were not the only ones who were stunned, even the people from the Red Dust Palace did not expect this!

In their imaginations, the best candidate for the Sky Bearing Academy's sound stage should be Lu Jiuer! Based on this, they also made a lot of response preparation... Who would have thought that Chu Xiao would actually go against the rules!

Qiao Tian and the others couldn't help but set their gazes on Lu Renjia as they all frowned.

His body was covered in dust, his face was haggard, and he looked like a beggar …

Who was this!

You actually dared to come up and fight Le Yang like this?

Are you sure it's him?

Sensing that they were being looked down upon, Qiao Tian and the rest coldly spoke, upon hearing that, Lu Renjia was first stunned, and then immediately looked at Chu Xiao, as though he thought of something, and his expression changed to one of admiration!

As expected, it was as Junior Chu had expected …

Sighing in his heart, Lu Renjia turned around, his expression turning incomparably enigmatic. With a wave of his sleeve, he directly ascended the stage!

No need to be surprised.

Lu Renjia swept the entire audience, and said indifferently, "This one is Lu Renjia, the true value of this one, and fully deserving of the title of the first participant!"

This...

Strange, how did this Lu Renjia become so confident?

Seeing that, everyone who was familiar with Lu Renjia looked at each other, but on the Red Dust Palace side, they had never heard of Lu Renjia's name, and started whispering to each other.

Who was this person?

Judging from his tone, he seemed to be quite powerful …

Could this Lu Renjia be a Heaven's Pride Ranker with a hidden Sky Bearing Academy?

This thought appeared in the minds of the people present.

Then, thinking about how this was the first battle of Jiuyao Battle and was related to the morale, he definitely could not lose it …

Le Yang, do not underestimate your opponent!

Qiao Tian immediately retracted his eyes, and said while swinging his sleeves.

It was clear that even though Qiao Tian was arrogant, his mind was clear! He was well aware that this first battle was extremely important. After all, he and Le Yang were two external helpers, one for the team leader and the other for the team leader. If they lost, the other participants of Red Dust Palace would definitely not accept this!

Understood!

With that said, Chu Xiao quickly gave Lu Jiuer a meaningful glance.

Next!

Although Lu Jiuer did not understand why Chu Xiao did not send her up, but at the moment, she did not hesitate and took out his best treasure zither and threw it up!

However …

However, Lu Renjia only glanced at it once before stepping away and allowing it to fall onto the stage with a bang!

The entire audience was stunned. As a sound disciple, Le Yang's heart ached even more when he saw her famous zither being ignored. He could not help but shout loudly: "What are you doing!? This is a precious zither, it's extremely rare, and you actually don't know how to treasure it?

With that said, quite a few people in the audience shook their heads. They felt that Lu Renjia was able to do it, but he completely ignored them, and only waved his hand: "This guqin is too weak, it doesn't fit my status … … Hurry up and change it!

What?

Am I hearing things? The Yellow Ranked Treasure Zither, he actually said that it was incompatible with his status?

Who did he think he was! The Music Saint of Southland? The Master Nanguan of the Northern Continent?

The crowd burst into an uproar, there were even people who could not hold back their laughter, Lu Renjia did not care, and continued to raise his head, looking up at the sky, his expression arrogant, making them want to pull him over and give him a good beating!

My guqin, look at it too!

At this time, the white-haired man beside the Vice Principal seemed to be deep in thought. He also took out a zither and tossed it over!

However … Lu Renjia glanced again, and then immediately turned and dodged, as though being touched by this guqin was a kind of blasphemy!

With a bang, the zither once again crashed onto the stage, emitting a sonorous sound!

No, no! This kind of zither, he would need at least ten more to be able to make it onto the stage!

Lu Renjia shook his head and sighed, with a look of sorrow.
