The Distinguished Cute Master

t……they’d only been considering their reputation and had forgotten that the one in front of them was a true genius that withdrew from worldly affairs!

A peerless genius versus their reputation, the great elder hesitated for a moment and an elder beside him leaned over to say softly.

“Great elder, this girl is correct.
There’s a rotten apple in the academy and we can’t just tolerate it for the sake of our reputation, otherwise who would be able to attend school with peace of mind in the future?”

The great elder nodded when he heard this, but the second elder who was on his other side looked very sombre because she was the one who was responsible for the tokens and now that something like this had happened, she couldn’t escape blame.
She gnashed her teeth and said.

“Girl, you’re a late stage Golden Core.
Even if you suppress your cultivation to late stage Foundation Building, you’ll still have the physical strength of a late stage Golden Core.
This isn’t fair to Li Xuanzhi.”

Yuan Chu crooked her head and looked at her, “Then what does this pretty teacher suggest?”

She smiled, looking like she was modestly asking for advice.

In an elegant manner, the second elder Liu Ya’er looked askance at her and said coldly and arrogantly, “At the very least, you should suppress your cultivation till mid stage Foundation Building!”

With this, not just the elders, but even the students couldn’t bear to listen to this any longer.
Yuan Chu had already shown due respect by suppressing her cultivation to late stage Foundation Building! After all, although late stage Foundation Building and Golden Core seemed to be the difference of just one realm, it was actually a world of difference!

For the second elder to have brought up such a request, wasn’t she making things difficult for the young girl?

Up on the high platform, the great elder waved his hand to signal for silence.
Just as he was about to voice that they’d do as Yuan Chu had mentioned, Yuan Chu actually went ahead and surprisingly, she agreed to it!

She said with a smile, “Alright! Mid stage Foundation Building it is!” she looked at Li Xuanzhi with a malicious glint in her eyes, “This brother, you have to go all out!”

Li Xuanzhi would’ve done his best without her telling him to.
As long as he could get the bell on her waist, today’s matter would be over.

He knew that with his early stage Golden Core cultivation, even if he defeated her, he’d already lost face and there would be no place for him in the Elite Chamber in the future.
But when he thought of Gu Qingke, he gritted his teeth and resigned himself.

He only hoped that after today, Qingke would see how good he was and realise who treated her the best.

So he moved to stand in front of Yuan Chu wordlessly.
There were only the two of them in the round arena, making it appear somewhat spacious and empty.

Yuan Chu stood up on her toes and noticed that the ground was made of a very hard type of Black Iron, then she looked up and noticed that above her was sharp Langya Crystals and her sparkling eyes lit up.

Li Xuanzhi assumed his stance and said with a frosty look on his face, “Mu Qingge, I like you a lot, but to prove this matter, I will not be soft-hearted”

Yuan Chu’s small hands clenched into fists as she smiled and revealed her pearly white teeth, “Don’t worry, I’ll make you like me even more.”

Around them, thousands of students looked on nervously.
They all felt that this fight was very unfair to Yuan Chu and there was a high probability that she’d lose, but because the academy had gone too far, they hoped that she would win.

Only Ye Chenyuan was calm with laughter in his eyes.

Li Xuanzhi made the first move, and he started with his strongest move, “Fierce Whirlwind!”

“Ah!” Everyone was stunned.
Didn’t he just have to snatch her bell? What did he mean by using his strongest move right at the beginning? Was it possible that he was worried that he wouldn’t be able to snatch it so he intended to make use of the edge he had in a higher realm to defeat her? He was being too shameless! She’d already suppressed her cultivation to mid stage Foundation Building!
