Chapter 958 - The King (2/2)

You Wanren said, “What else is there to explain? It’s obvious that you are using the honor of our South Academy to please your man.”

Ouyang Lan frowned and said in a cold voice, “You Wanren, this is the time for student Tu Jiaojiao to explain. Don’t speak out of turn.”

You Wanren did not dare to provoke this extremely tough old lady. Although he was unwilling, he immediately closed his mouth.

Tu Jiaojiao said, “Let me introduce my cultivation first. As you can see, I’ve reached the early stage of the Combination Realm.

“To be honest, after reaching the final stage of the Voiding Realm, it was very difficult to go further. I stayed in this realm for three years, but I still could not break through to the stage of the Combination Realm.

“Even when I rushed to the Seven Storeys Pagoda, I was still at the final stage of the Voiding Realm.

“The reason that I was able to step through the threshold of the Combination Realm was just because of the Dragon Power Pill that Junior Brother Qin Haodong gave me. With this pill, I broke through the bottleneck of the Voiding Realm.”

“Dragon Power Pill! That’s a seventh-level pill. At the auction, one pill costs more than 100,000 top-level Spirit Stones…”

“This kind of pill is not only expensive but also extremely rare. I heard that it requires dragon saliva to refine. Ordinary people can’t buy it even if they have money…”

“Qin Haodong gave her one Dragon Power Pill. If a man is willing to do this for me, I am willing to be his girlfriend and have a baby with him!”

Tu Jiaojiao continued, “When Junior Brother Qin Haodong gave me the pill, he already knew that the competition between the North and South Academies was about to begin. He also knew that I would be representing the South Academy to compete and become his opponent.

“In this case, he still gave the pill to me without hesitation. It can be seen that he is very magnanimous.”

Hearing this, You Wanren couldn’t help but stand up again. He said to the stand, “Director, I don’t agree with Tu Jiaojiao’s reasoning.

“Even if Qin Haodong helped her improve her cultivation, she had to be responsible for the whole South Academy in the competition. She had to show her real strength, instead of taking the initiative to admit defeat for personal reasons.

“What’s more, I guess that Qin Haodong gave her the Dragon Power Pill just because Qin Haodong coveted her beauty. He wasn’t being magnanimous.”

Tu Jiaojiao angrily cried, “Shut up, You Wanren! Don’t try to gauge Qin Haodong’s stature with your petty reasoning!”

You Wanren said, “You know the reason. Anyway, that was not the reason for you to admit defeat.”

Ouyang Lan said, “Tu Jiaojiao, what you just said is really far-fetched. If you are grateful to Qin Haodong for helping you improve your cultivation, you can give up the competition instead of taking the initiative to admit defeat.”

“Director, I haven’t finished yet,” Tu Jiaojiao continued. “The reason why I voluntarily admitted defeat is because my strength is inferior to that of Qin Haodong. In a situation where there is a huge gap in strength, it is completely reasonable for me to admit defeat.”

You Wanren sneered and said, “Tu Jiaojiao, do you think we are all fools? You are already at the early stage of the Combination Realm. I don’t believe that his cultivation is much higher than yours!”

Tu Jiaojiao looked at him and said, “Do you know the number one master of Tortoise Kingdom, Zhangsun Chengdu?”

You Wanren didn’t understand why Tu Jiaojiao suddenly changed the subject, but he still said, “Of course I know. Zhangsun Chengdu, the Imperial Preceptor, has reached the stage of the Grand Completion Realm. He is known as the top master in Tortoise Kingdom.”

Tu Jiaojiao said, “Before we came back, Qin Haodong killed Zhangsun Chengdu.

“In the face of such a master, do you think I should admit defeat? Is he worthy of the title of king in our academy?”

The Tortoise Academy was far away from Tortoise City, so the information that Zhangsun Chengdu was killed had yet to reach this place.

When Tu Jiaojiao gave this information, the crowd erupted into an uproar.

“What? This young man killed Zhangsun Chengdu? How is that possible?”

“To be able to kill a master at the stage of the Grand Completion Realm? Is this real or fake?”

“No matter what, as long as he can kill a master at the stage of the Grand Completion Realm, he will definitely be worthy of the title of king in our Tortoise Academy. This is our honor…”

Tu Jiaojiao immediately turned the situation around with this information.

In the eyes of other students, it was definitely not a shameful thing to admit defeat to a master who could kill a person at the stage of Grand Completion Realm.

Even the students of the South Academy felt that it was a wise choice to admit defeat. They dropped their objections.

Seeing that the situation was out of control, You Wanren shouted, “Who knows if you are telling the truth or not? Anyone can brag.”

At this moment, Luo Dongqing spoke.

“I can guarantee in the name of the Associate Director of the Tortoise Academy that what Tu Jiaojiao said is true. I once followed them to Tortoise City. It was indeed Qin Haodong who killed Zhangsun Chengdu on the spot.”

Ouyang Lan glared at him and whispered, “Why didn’t you tell me such an important thing?”

Luo Dongqing chuckled. “I’m afraid if you know that, you won’t agree to the mode of the competition this year, the battle of the king.”

After this confirmation by Luo Dongqing, You Wanren’s face turned deathly pale. He had nothing to say. In the face of absolute strength, he had no qualification to question them.

The other students under the arena were no longer opposed to Tu Jiaojiao’s surrender.

Seeing that everyone had calmed down, Hai Zhengming walked to the center of the arena and said, “I announce that Qin Haodong is the winner of the competition between the North and South Academies this time. He has become the king of our Tortoise Academy.”
