Chapter 105 - Challenge, Half an hour

Chapter 105: Challenge, Half an hour

The implication was Ye Qing Luo would not have a chance to avenge for her brother if she had chosen to participate now.

The reason was that three days after the ability assessment; Ye Qing Ling would have already became a formal student of the Heaven Academy and could not accept the challenge.

A slow smile worked up to Ye Qing Luo’s face as she declared in a coldish tone: “Half an hour.”

A glimpse around the scene, not a single one had caught and reacted to what she had just said.

By the time they had comprehended her intentions, a commotion had already broke among the arena.

“To complete all the ten segments of the ability assessment within half an hour? You have got to be kidding!”

“The shortest record held for the past hundreds of years is twelve hours and it is set by the gifted one from the Ye family! How can anyone break the history?”

“….”

The audience had broken into a chaotic clutter with some pointing fingers and hushing how unbelievable her challenge was.

Even the three masters at the main stage felt that Ye Qing Luo was trying to take them for a ride.

Only Old Man Gui You was gazing at her in his deep thoughts.

Insignificantly, he caressed his wisps of beard and grinned deftly:

“Sure! On behalf of the Heaven Academy, I hereby make an exception to promise that you will be an official student if you can pass all the ten segments within half an hour!”

A few masters had initially wanted to step out and rejected the ridiculous request of hers but drew back their plans the minute Old Man Gui You spoke.

This Old Man Gui You…..

Where was the existence of the Heavenly Academy?

The badge on his chest was merely a pathetic yellow bar which seemed to be the lowest rank among the masters.

Yet even the more senior masters with five or six bars on the main stage were respectful to him.

No one had dared uttered a single sound the moment Old Man Gui You spoke.

What a peculiar sight!

Ye Qing Luo tightened her brows as she pondered while the old man continued: “But….. Should you be unable to complete within the agreed time….”

“I’ll be at your beck and call!”

Ye Qing Luo lifted her head, her eyes brimming in confidence.

“You don’t have to be at my disposal, but you can be my disciple if you cannot pass the test in half hour?”

“Disciple?”

“Old Man Gui You, you are… not serious, are you?”

The three masters on stage were so stunned that they had stood up and pointed at Old Man Gui You with wide eyes opened:

“There are so many talents in the Academy, why did you have to insist on choosing this one… don’t you know she is The One from the Three Spring Sect?”

Many had apparently heard of Ye Qing Luo’s ill-famed reputation but had not seen her in person.

The minute she was introduced as “The One”, it became clear to everyone who the ravishing beauty with the extremely self-absorbed Young Matriarch, the renowned waste from the Three Spring Sect was.

Being a useless thing for more than a decade, even if she had apprehended on the cultivation method, it was impossible for her to pass through all ten segments that were feared by countless profound talents in half an hour.

The looks she had gotten from everyone else were no longer about her captivating beauty or sympathy.

It had evolved into a despicable scorn that could ridicule her.

“In half an hour? The Seventh Miss from the Ye family is not useless, she is probably a dimwit!”

“Hahaha, it’s absolutely stupid! I heard that she had made her name previously by defeating her elder sister hands down! Indeed, rumours are rumours!”

“….”

Waves of sarcastic ridicules repeated continuously among the audience.

Old Man Gui You who had stood in front of the main stage folded his arms and stared hard at Ye Qing Luo with his shrewd sharp eyes: “So, have you come to a decision?”

“Old Man Gui You!” the three masters faces’ sunken upon hearing the old man’s persistence in taking her as his disciple.
