737: Goodbye Qiao Yanxi

The Combat Power test was still ongoing, and soon it was Huang Ruochen's turn.

His opponent was a sturdy-looking young man with the same cultivation level as him, both being at the Third Layer of Profound Immortal Realm.

"Brother Ruochen, be careful," Huang Ruoyu advised, though she had great confidence in her brother's Combat Power.

"Brother Ruochen, good luck," Yang Lingchen encouraged.

"Sister, Brother Yang, don't worry. Dealing with trash like this only takes one move for me."

Huang Ruochen wore a confident smile; he was very sure of his own strength.

Just then, Huang Ruoyu's name was called on another Arena.

"Senior Sister Huang, you be careful too," Yang Lingchen said.

"I know, thank you," Huang Ruoyu said softly before walking toward the other Arena.

At the Arena where Huang Ruochen was.

A sturdy-looking young man said to him extremely arrogantly, "Kid, are you going to roll off yourself, or do you want me to send you off?"

"Oh? So arrogant?" Huang Ruochen sneered and said, "I want to see how you plan to send me off."

"Since you are not sensible, don't blame me for being ruthless."

The sturdy young man leaped up and threw a fierce punch. A terrifying gust of wind whistled toward Huang Ruochen.

The intensity of this Fist Aura had reached at least the Peak of the Third Layer of Profound Immortal Realm. An average Cultivator at the Third Layer of Profound Immortal Realm would not be able to block this strike.

"Damn it, go to hell!"

Seeing the opponent's ruthless strike, Huang Ruochen leaped into the air, spun around, and delivered a powerful flying kick. A strong leg force, carrying a brilliant radiance, instantly swept toward the sturdy young man's head.

"How can this kid be so strong?"

Facing Huang Ruochen's sweeping kick, a look of panic flashed in the sturdy young man's eyes. He didn't have time to think and raised his hand to block in front of him.

"Boom...!"

"Pfft...!"

The terrifying impact caused the sturdy young man to be kicked away instantly. Before he even landed, he spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.

"Trying to act tough in front of me." Huang Ruochen looked smug as he walked off the Arena.

"Brother Yang, how was it? Wasn't my move cool?" Huang Ruochen asked with a smile.

"It was cool, but it's a bit worse compared to mine." Yang Lingchen smiled nonchalantly and brushed the hair on both sides of his forehead.

"You're more handsome than me?"

Huang Ruochen widened his eyes and said disdainfully, "If you have the guts, let's compete."

Huang Ruochen was very confident in his looks. Although Yang Lingchen was also very handsome, he didn't feel he was inferior to Yang Lingchen.

"How should we compete?" Yang Lingchen asked with a smile.

"Do you see Yun Mengyao?" Huang Ruochen pointed to Yun Mengyao not far away.

"I see her, what about it?" Yang Lingchen asked confusedly.

Huang Ruochen pondered for a moment, looked at Yang Lingchen provocatively, and said, "How about this? After entering the academy, let's compete to see who can win her heart first. Do you dare?"

"This...! Why wouldn't I dare?" Yang Lingchen chuckled and said, "What if you lose?"

"If I lose, if you want to woo my sister in the future, I will raise both hands in support," Huang Ruochen whispered.

"Is that true?" Yang Lingchen said calmly.

"What are you two chatting about?"

At this moment, Huang Ruoyu walked over. Her battle had just ended, and she had successfully defeated her opponent. Seeing her brother and Yang Lingchen chatting, she asked curiously.

"N-nothing, just talking about some things regarding the Grand Competition," Yang Lingchen said with a calm expression.

"Yes, we were just talking about the Grand Competition," Huang Ruochen chimed in. "Brother Yang, remember our bet!"

"Don't worry, I won't forget! You're going to lose anyway," Yang Lingchen said with a smile.

"What bet?" Huang Ruoyu frowned and asked.

"Oh, nothing," Yang Lingchen said seriously. "Just comparing our rankings to see who can get a better rank."

"Yes, just comparing rankings," Huang Ruochen echoed.

Just then, Zhang Wuhen slowly walked toward Yang Lingchen, his cold eyes filled with gloomy Killing Intent.

"Kid, daring to kill someone from my Zhang Family, you'd better cherish your last moments!" Zhang Wuhen's voice was bone-chilling, and an invisible Killing Intent radiated from him.

"If everyone in your Zhang Family loves to act tough as much as you do, then you might not be far from having your clan wiped out."

Yang Lingchen's eyes burned with intensity, his tone carrying a hint of disdain. Although the opponent's strength was far superior to his, this was, after all, the Grand Competition of Tianxin Academy, and the other party definitely wouldn't dare to make a move on him in such an occasion.

"What an arrogant kid. You'd better pray you don't run into me next," Zhang Wuhen's eyes flashed with cold light, and his handsome face revealed a hint of ferocity.

Clearly, he had completely developed a murderous intent.

"Want to kill me? You'll never have that chance." Yang Lingchen's gaze was sharp, showing no intention of backing down.

Yang Lingchen knew that since he had already formed a grudge with the other party, even if he backed down, the other party wouldn't let him go. Instead of that, it was better to be tough.

"We'll see." Zhang Wuhen looked at Yang Lingchen coldly and then returned to his previous position.

"Brother Yang, this guy is not someone to be trifled with. You should be careful in the future," Huang Ruochen warned.

"I know, don't worry," Yang Lingchen said indifferently. Although he was not the opponent's match for now, as long as he was given some time, he had enough confidence to kill the other party.

The second round of the Combat Power test was still ongoing. About two hours later, the top four thousand were finally decided.

"The next matches will determine the final top two thousand, and these two thousand contestants will eventually gain the opportunity to join Tianxin Academy. Good luck to you all," Lei Zhennan said loudly.

With the start of the second round, the atmosphere at the scene became tense because once they won, they would gain the opportunity to enter Tianxin Academy, and if they lost, they would have no chance at all.

At this moment, the surrounding crowd also began to get nervous because many of the people participating in the Grand Competition were from their families or forces.

Yang Lingchen's opponent this time was still a youth at the Fourth Layer of Profound Immortal Realm, so he defeated his opponent very easily.

When Yang Lingchen successfully entered the top two thousand, many Lanxian Sect contestants stood up to applaud him, among whom the most excited were the Huang siblings.

"This kid is truly incredible! With a cultivation level at the First Layer of Profound Immortal Realm, he actually entered the top two thousand."

"Yes! I originally thought he would miss out on the top two thousand. I didn't expect his Cross-Rank Challenge ability to be so strong."

At this moment, there was a lot of discussion at the scene, and everyone looked at Yang Lingchen with a hint of envy and jealousy.

"Congratulations, Brother Yang, on joining Tianxin Academy."

As soon as Yang Lingchen walked off the Arena, the Huang siblings walked over.

"You two should also keep it up!" Yang Lingchen said with a smile.

"Don't worry, we will definitely join Tianxin Academy too."

Huang Ruoyu smiled sweetly.

The competition continued, and soon it was the Huang siblings' turn. Without any suspense, they both successfully entered the top two thousand. After all, their talent and strength were there; fighting across two minor Realms was an easy thing for them.

"Next will be the ranking battles. The top ten contestants will not only receive generous rewards but also have the opportunity to become disciples under the Elders of Tianxin Academy."

At this moment, Lei Zhennan walked over, followed by a young girl with a youthful face and a large chest, as well as a tall, lively-looking girl.

The moment these two girls appeared, a look of surprise flashed in Yang Lingchen's eyes, because these two girls were none other than Qiao Yanxi and Ji Tiantian, whom he had met in the Changlin Mountain Range before.

The reason he had such a deep impression was mainly because Qiao Yanxi had saved him before; otherwise, he would probably still be breeding next to the Sky-Swallowing Fire Bird.
