Chapter 270: 0269, the number one expert of the Dragon Group!

Dammit!

He actually did it!

Si Ma’ao, Mu Chujian, Yuan Zongguang, the three of them attacked together and still couldn’t gain the upper hand—just how strong is Ye Qiu?

At this moment, the many Dragon Group members watching were utterly astounded by the fact that Ye Qiu had won. They used to see Si Ma’ao as an unbeatable figure, but now there was someone even more powerful than Si Ma’ao and the others, no one could help but feel envious, with complex emotions in their eyes as they focused on the lone man standing in the center of the field.

Those who had earlier been shouting about beating Ye Qiu into a pig’s head were now silent because Ye Qiu had proven with his strength that he had the right to be arrogant.

It left people speechless.

"Clap, clap..." Suddenly, Mei Huiling started clapping her hands, breaking the quiet of the training field, and she slowly stepped forward, saying, "It seems that your strength has indeed surpassed that of your master."

When Mei Huiling said this, there was not a hint of exaggeration in her words. Even she hadn’t understood Ye Qiu’s defense just now.

Mei Huiling felt that Ye Qiu’s defense just now was somewhat similar to this technique, but it also didn’t seem to match; after all, she had witnessed the attack of Si Ma’ao and the others. Their attacks had actually not even come close to touching a single hair on Ye Qiu.

They were blocked by an invisible force midway and even rebounded back.

"Senior flatters me," Ye Qiu said with a smile.

"I simply took advantage of the situation. Their strength is also not weak, and since it was just a spar, everyone didn’t give their all. It can’t be considered a true contest," said Ye Qiu.

Meanwhile, Ye Qiu walked over to the three men, extending his hand. Si Ma’ao turned his head aside, too proud to pay attention to Ye Qiu’s offered hand, getting up on his own, his face ugly as he stared at Ye Qiu.

However, Mu Chujian and Yuan Zongguang stared at Ye Qiu’s hand for a moment, then also reached out, letting Ye Qiu pull them up.

"Thank you, you are very strong," said Mu Chujian. Although Yuan Zongguang didn’t say anything, his eyes conveyed his recognition of Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu’s words from earlier were merely a way for him to let the three men save face; Mu Chujian and Yuan Zongguang understood this and appreciated the gesture, while Si Ma’ao, filled with pride, did not accept the goodwill Ye Qiu had shown.

Mei Huiling watched Ye Qiu’s actions with a composed expression, and she was inwardly surprised. This kid was better at handling people than she had thought, especially better than his master by quite a bit.

Seeing Ye Qiu, Mei Huiling couldn’t help but think of that man. He had been avoiding her for most of her life—was he really intending to avoid her for a lifetime?

For some reason, a wave of resentment rose in Mei Huiling’s heart, and her mood soured, her eyes growing cold as she looked at Si Ma’ao and the others and said, "Do you know what to do now?"

Si Ma’ao, Mu Chujian, and Yuan Zongguang all bowed their heads, saying in unison, "Team leader, we will punish ourselves."

With that, the three left the training field, walking out from among the crowd, clearly having their spirits dampened by the battle with Ye Qiu.

The martial arts competition between the North and the South had not even started, and they had already lost to Ye Qiu, leaving a bitter taste in their mouths and a determined light flickering in their eyes. It could be imagined that they would continue to rigorously train themselves.

The Dragon Group members scattered following Si Ma’ao and his two companions’ departure. Everyone had initially expected to witness a scenario where Ye Qiuxiu would be utterly defeated like falling blossoms caught in a flowing stream, but the outcome greatly defied everyone’s expectations.

Though no one said it out loud, it was understood that from then on, Ye Qiu would certainly be considered the number one master in the Dragon Group, and unquestionably so.

As for Ye Qiu himself, he didn’t ponder much about it, remaining calm as usual, without a trace of arrogance. However, in the eyes of some, this was precisely the most infuriating aspect. Si Ma’ao observed Ye Qiu’s demeanor and swore secretly to himself that he would reclaim today’s loss one day.

Lin Wurou, Mu Zhige, and Li Xiaohu didn’t leave with the others. Their focus was all on Ye Qiu, and compared to everyone else’s shock, theirs was the greatest.

None of them had anticipated that the Ye Qiu they met before possessed such terrifying strength, capable of defeating even the strongest members of the Dragon Group.

There were those who envied, those who felt jealous, and even those who showed a bitter animosity, like Cheng Tianhu. He had been standing in a corner watching the fight, taking in everyone’s reactions. Ye Qiu had become the center of attention, while he went unnoticed, even capturing the expressions of Lin Wurou and others. Cheng Tianhu was extremely angry and agitated that Ye Qiu had entered the Dragon Group and instantly made such an impression, even drawing Lin Wurou’s interest. His heart was filled with fury and irritability.

But he managed to suppress his anger. If even Si Ma’ao and his companions combined were no match for Ye Qiu, what ability did Cheng Tianhu have to defeat him?

There would be a chance; he was certain he would get a chance for revenge against Ye Qiu. Consoling himself with this thought, Cheng Tianhu then left the scene.

As the crowd thinned, Mei Huiling left behind a cryptic line, "I hope you won’t disappoint me in the future," and departed as well.

Nobody could discern what Mei Huiling was thinking. In truth, by defeating the three, Ye Qiu had proven that his old lascivious friend had won over her, Mei Huiling. Nobody mentioned this, but she knew it in her heart.

Having a master like Ye Qiu join the Dragon Group was cause for celebration, but Mei Huiling had no intentions of making things too easy for him.

A cryptic smile emerged on her ageless cheeks, full of profound meaning.

Mu Zhige, Lin Wurou, and Li Xiaohu stayed behind.

"Brother Ye, I didn’t expect you to be so formidable. I’m impressed," Mu Zhige said.

Lin Wurou still appeared indifferent. Although Ye Qiu’s victory had forced her to view him in a new light, it didn’t mean she would throw herself at him.

On the other hand, Li Xiaohu was very enthusiastic, saying, "Master, will you teach me how to do that in the future?"

Ye Qiu was the most acquainted with the three of them, so he didn’t put on any airs of superiority or arrogance. He quickly reverted to his previous demeanor, his earnest gaze becoming relaxed, his aura subdued. If not for the proof of the recent skirmish, they would probably not believe that Ye Qiu could defeat Si Ma’ao and his two companions.

"Heh, teach is too formal a term, but I’m open to sparring," Ye Qiu replied with a laugh.

"Hehe, sparring with a master like you, I believe I’ll catch up to Si Ma’ao and the others in no time," Li Xiaohu said with a laugh.

Lin Wurou rolled her eyes at Li Xiaohu in silence and without comment.

"Brother Ye, you’ve made quite a name for yourself in our Dragon Group. Many important tasks will likely fall to you in the future," Mu Zhige said.

"It was just a simple sparring session. All three of them were very strong. It wasn’t a fight to the death, and shouldn’t be taken as such," Ye Qiu said.

"Haha, Brother Ye, no need to be modest. Although I’m not as strong as you, I do have good eyes. They might not have been using their full strength, but they still used eighty to ninety percent of it. Besides, Brother Ye, you didn’t use all your strength either. So, it’s not an exaggeration to call you the number one master in the Dragon Group," Mu Zhige said.
