Chapter 84: Chapter 84: The Battle Between the Top Scholar of Jiangnan and the Number One Assassin of Yanjing

"Hmm?"

The boy who just came out immediately sparked a discussion among everyone in the venue.

"Isn’t that Yang Wei? Looks like there’s going to be a good show now?"

"Yang Wei? Who is Yang Wei, and what’s his background?"

"You don’t even know Yang Wei? He’s also a big shot, the strongest assassin of this term in Yanjing City. But in the initial rankings of Yanjing Academy, he was placed fifteenth. It seems like he’s not satisfied?"

"Holy crap! There really is a good show to watch!"

The dissatisfied boy immediately stirred up endless discussions and amazement.

The most crucial thing is, this guy was very serious when he spoke.

He wasn’t joking at all.

And hearing the discussions from many classmates, the guy seemed even more confident.

"Yang Wei, are you saying you’re dissatisfied with this ranking? Are you planning to challenge Ye Xuan right now?"

Zhang Wannian had a smile on his face.

This kind of thing, he didn’t mind at all!

"Principal Zhang! Yes, I am challenging him."

"This Ye Xuan guy, why does he get to be number one in the initial rankings? I want to see what he’s capable of."

"I don’t accept this ranking, so naturally, I should challenge him."

Yang Wei said this with great confidence and showed no sign of fear.

His words made many of the surrounding classmates nod their heads in agreement.

Most students showed support for what he said.

"What Yang Wei said makes sense! This Ye Xuan being ranked first, could it be because his score was the highest? But the exam questions are different in each province. So what if his score is the highest?"

"I think Chen Hao and Hou Tianyun are more impressive!"

"This year’s initial ranking is really somewhat unfair. I wonder if this Ye Xuan has the courage to accept the challenge."

Yang Wei, with most students’ approval, felt even more steadfast in his heart.

No way!

Before the college entrance examination, those other geniuses were basically famous across the country.

Chen Hao, Hou Tianyun, Xu Rourou, Wan Haoran, which one of them hasn’t done something earth-shattering?

Which one hasn’t been featured in the newspapers?

Even as an assassin who couldn’t score top marks, he was often in the papers.

But this Ye Xuan, nobody had heard of him before!

No one even knew who he was.

This guy could have become the top scorer just by fluke, right?

Moreover...

For many years, at Yanjing University, the top ranker has always been someone from Yanjing.

After all, Yanjing is the capital of Huaxia Country, the strongest city with the most noble families and resources.

It makes sense for talents to emerge from such a place.

But now, you’re telling me that a provincial top scorer from Jiangnan is stepping over the heads of Yanjing’s people, what is this trying to imply?

Looking down on whom?

Many students harbored such thoughts.

"Ye Xuan, what are your thoughts? Are you willing to accept the challenge from Yang Wei?"

Zhang Wannian’s face bore a kindly smile, looking at Ye Xuan.

At the same time, all eyes were focused on Ye Xuan.

Most people were unconvinced by him!

Some even showed contempt towards him.

As someone ranked first, receiving such a challenge is also pretty normal.

Meanwhile, practically everyone was watching with the mindset of enjoying a spectacle.

"Sure! Since he wants to challenge me, let’s do it!"

Ye Xuan answered very calmly.

He had long been mentally prepared for challenges; if he was afraid of them, why would he have come to Yanjing University?

Upon hearing this, a surge of elation welled up in Yang Wei’s heart.

"Excellent! It seems you do have some courage, not a shrinking turtle. Now that you’ve accepted, this matter will be easy to address. Don’t worry, I won’t go too hard on you. I’ll stop at the right point to ensure your dignity remains intact."

In his speech, the guy was brimming with confidence.

He didn’t take Ye Xuan seriously at all.

It was normal for him to be so confident.

After all, he was a local of Yanjing City – a place rich in resources. Even the tenth ranked individual in Yanjing might be stronger than other provinces’ top scholars.

These sorts of things had happened before.

Moreover...

He was an assassin.

The strengths of an assassin are agility, quickness, and high burst damage.

Such a profession might not excel much at grinding instances, but when it comes to duels, it’s where they shine.

Especially against Mages, Beast Control Masters, and Dragon Control Masters – they could practically crush them in their hands.

"Let’s go. The nearest place is Arena No. 1."

While talking, Yang Wei led the way ahead.

"Hold on!"

Ye Xuan suddenly stopped.

"What? Changing your mind? Getting cold feet?" Yang Wei sneered.

"Just an ordinary fight is rather dull. We can’t just clash without some stakes. How about we spice it up a bit?" Ye Xuan proposed, appearing nonchalant.

He had no desire to make a move unless there was some benefit in it for him.

"Alright, what stakes do you have in mind?"

"For stakes, how about the initial Academic Points? What do you think?"

Ye Xuan still spoke in his lazy tone.

However, his words caused an uproar among the onlookers.

Using initial Academic Points as stakes?

The bet was somewhat hefty.

After entering Yanjing Academy, all expenses rely on Academic Points.

In the academy, all aspects of life, all spending, whether it’s daily necessities like food, crafting equipment, entering instances, or even trading with each other, are all conducted through Academic Points.

For first-year freshmen...

Initial Academic Points are enormously important!

Because that is their living expense for a month, and no new Academic Points will be distributed until after a month’s ranking examination.

First-year freshmen initially receive a total of 5,000 Academic Points upon entering the academy.

Though these 5,000 Academic Points may not be much for upperclassmen...

They are critically important for freshmen.

Because for the upcoming month, everything from eating to leveling up in instances, or even crafting equipment, will depend on these points.

The moment Ye Xuan spoke, it was exactly this he proposed.

This is truly a life-or-death commitment.

What if he loses?

If he loses, it means that for the following month in the academy, he won’t be able to do anything.

Or does this guy truly have that much confidence?

Does he really believe that as a Dragon Control Master, he can defeat Yang Wei?

"This is thrilling! Truly too exciting! Just as the school year starts, and we’re already seeing such thrilling events. On the first day of school, the Dragon Control Master who’s ranked first among the freshmen takes on Yanjing’s strongest assassin!"

"Exactly, we get to witness the might of a Dragon Control Master with a dragon, right?"

"Hahaha, what if he doesn’t own a dragon though?"

"Who do you all think will win?"

"I still believe that Yang Wei has a slightly higher chance of winning! What’s the big deal about being a Dragon Control Master? Isn’t he still just a squishy MAGETYPE?"

"Not necessarily, Ye Xuan being the top scholar from Jiangnan Province means he’s got skills."

"Then let’s wait and see!"
