After the daytime incident involving the Blood Cloud Beast, the Wuxuan Wuji Hall turned unusually quiet at night, with serenity all around. Unlike the five hundred martial artists of the Outer Hall residing in triple bedrooms, the fifty martialists of the Inner Hall each had their own room, and the top five ranked martial artists even owned their personal independent courtyards. At this hour, the evening training was about to begin, but for the inner hall martial artists, the free combat practice during the training was the most important. As martial artists from the Inner Hall arrived at the training ground in groups of three or two, they noticed that the typically quiet training ground was packed with people, all of whom were female warriors from the Outer Hall. "What’s going on? Why are warriors from the Outer Hall coming to the Inner Hall?" "During the day, Brother Cheng and some exchange students had a competition, and they damaged the Outer Hall’s training ground. It hasn’t been fixed yet; it seems they’ve come to borrow our facility." "That doesn’t seem right; everyone is standing around the perimeter, just two people are standing in the middle of the field, it looks like they are about to compete!" "Wow—it’s Luo Qing, the strongest female warrior from the Outer Hall. If there’s really a competition, quickly call the brothers inside to watch the excitement." In Wuxuan Wuji Hall, private fights are strictly prohibited, but it was clearly impossible to absolutely control these spirited martial artists, thus combat competitions naturally emerged. The martial arts hall’s competition is not limited to mere combat, it can also include exchanging combat skills, practicing horse stance, and more. During competitions, to ensure fairness and strictness, higher-ranked seniors are invited to preside. However, today’s combat competition is somewhat extraordinary; the two noticeable young girls standing on the field are competing in weightlifting, a contest that could even make ordinary male warriors click their tongues in awe. It didn’t take long before the news about a competition at the Inner Hall Training Ground spread throughout the entire Martial Arts Hall as if it had legs. Lei Hu was currently showing Gu Feng and Qi around the Martial Arts Hall, and upon hearing about the competition, Lei Hu’s enthusiasm overflowed, and he eagerly headed towards the training ground while boasting, "You guys are lucky, the combat competitions at the Wuxuan Wuji Hall are quite exciting. Last time, a senior directly used a Martial Venerate Level combat skill during the competition, a real feast for the eyes!" Although combat skills may not be as impressive as Magic, they are not to be underestimated. Lei Hu said this while leading the two toward the crowded training ground. Unfortunately, it was packed solid, making Lei Hu ask around, "Who are the two seniors competing today, and what’s the competition about?" "It’s two female trainees from the Outer Hall, I heard one of them is an exchange student, tsk tsk, really courting death, picking Luo Qianjin of all people," the informant responded with schadenfreude. Luo Qing’s name is also quite recognized even in the Inner Hall. An exchange student! That’s Big Sister! Upon hearing this, Lei Hu was instantly dumbfounded, wondering how Big Sister got herself involved with Luo Qing, the top female of the girl’s academy, on her very first night in the dormitory! "Let’s go and see, hope there’s no trouble," Gu Feng and the others decided, struggling to make their way through the crowd. After much effort, the three finally made it to the crowd only to see Yun Sheng and Luo Qing standing opposite each other on the training ground, with a middle-aged man with a yellow beard standing in between them. "Ah, it’s Elder Miao from the Discipline Hall. It’s over. Luo Qing must have invited Elder Miao here. Now, even if Big Sister tried to deny it later, it’s too late," Lei Hu really wanted to slap himself. He should have realized that Big Sister might end up in conflict with someone in the female dormitory. Luo Qing is an outstanding female trainee from the Outer Hall, and her relationships with the elders of various halls are also very good. Though she appears rough, she is meticulous and thoughtful. Luo Qing knew that this time the exchange student was brought in by the Vice Hall Director, and presently, since the Deputy Hall Master was not around, if she casually drove them off, when the Deputy Hall Master returned and blamed her, she would surely be punished. Thus, she invited Elder Miao from the Discipline Hall to come over in the name of a combat challenge, to have a match with Yun Sheng and had someone spread the news. As she expected, news of her duel with the exchange student spread throughout the Martial Arts Hall in no time. Those who should come did, and even those who shouldn’t have, appeared as well. As long as it was under the public eye, if Yun Sheng lost, she would be forced to leave the Martial Arts Hall obediently. At that time, those exchange students who came with Yun Sheng would also leave the Martial Arts Hall with a loss of face, automatically. Furthermore, with the upright and just Elder Miao as the judge, Yun Sheng would not dare to deny any claims made. Elder Miao, with his square and stern face, also appeared very impartial. Seeing more and more people gathering around, he coughed a few times, signaling everyone to be quiet. "Silence, tonight Luo Qing trainee has invited this elder to officiate her match with the new trainee, Yun Sheng. Their competition involves the lifting of stone beasts. Regardless of win or loss, both parties must acknowledge the result, otherwise, the Discipline Hall will not go easy," Elder Miao originally had no desire to partake in such student matches, but he was also curious as to how a female Mage from the Royal Magic Academy would match up against the best female warrior of the Outer Hall. As soon as Elder Miao announced this, the surroundings erupted into an uproar. Lifting stone beasts? Luo Qing, who is reputed to have the strength of a thousand jin, was actually challenged by a Mage? It’s said that the female Mage has even set up a Magic Lock. My God, what is happening to this world, a female Mage is actually challenging a warrior in terms of physical strength! Laughter and derogatory cheers rippled one after another, mercilessly directed towards Yun Sheng, without exception, all voices supported Luo Qing, the noise quickly spreading outside the training ground. Lei Hu and others were extremely anxious, but seeing that Yun Sheng and Luo Qing had already walked toward the rows of stone beasts used by the Martial Artists, they were helpless. In the most secluded northern side of the Inner Hall, within a quiet small courtyard surrounded by darkness, two handsome men sat facing each other, playing chess in the dark. "Did you hear any noise?" Cheng Bai holding a white piece, paused. His ears twitched slightly, as if catching the sounds from the Inner Hall Training Ground where the match was about to start. "Chess should not speak, Cheng Bai, you are good in many ways, but your heart is not still," a streak of fighting spirit like a scythe in the night flashed past, as Ye Beiming played a black piece with his fingers flicking, the chess piece carried the fighting spirit striking towards the white piece in Cheng Bai’s hand. Cheng Bai’s expression turned stern, immediately, his white piece also emitted a glow like fireflies, his wrist flicked. The two chess pieces collided in the dark. Cheng Bai’s piece immediately shattered into two halves, becoming a casualty of the game. The two seemed to be playing chess, but in fact, they were practicing Combat Skills, with every piece played signifying a Combat Skill move; this also served as the best private review method for Ye Beiming and Cheng Bai. Back and forth, the chessboard was fraught with peril, starting another round of fierce battles. At the Inner Hall Training Ground, the match between Yun Sheng and Luo Qing had just begun!
