Regenerating Poison

However, the Supreme Master's calculations were a little off. A certain highness, who was pursued by gods, didn't participate in the Youyuan test like everyone expected. Instead, he chose to test in the martial arts test ring of the "Poor Courtyard" and "Liangyuan," where few people went to watch.

Due to the academy's decision to separate the testing of men and women for fairness, it inadvertently provided convenient conditions for the certain highness to conceal his identity. With everyone's attention focused on Helian Weiwei, very few people knew about the test happening in another yard.

Zhang Shijie, who had intended to showcase his skills in the martial arts competition, looked at the man standing opposite him and couldn't help taking a step back. Baili Jia Jue, with a cold gaze, didn't speak and slowly moved his wrist, exuding a murderous aura that couldn't be concealed.

Feeling the intimidating pressure, Zhang Shijie couldn't control his trembling legs and threw down his sword. He rolled off the stage, shouting that he wanted to abstain from the competition. Baili Jia Jue didn't pursue him and simply stood there, flicking the dust off his clothes with a lazy look.

The two masters present were dissatisfied with the situation. They had never encountered a situation where a promising academy student fled in front of a poor student who hadn't even taken any martial qi tests. To save face, they announced that Baili Jia Jue had won the competition without even conducting a martial arts test. They believed that someone would teach him a lesson in a month's time.

The incident reached the ears of others, and it became known as the "new bad student who was lucky and met an opponent who abstained." Only Tu Sufeng, who received the news, knew the truth.

After hearing the report, Tu Sufeng couldn't help but smile and quoted, "A soldier who submits to others without fighting is regarded as a general."

Su Jiacheng, who was still present, tried to warm up the atmosphere but received a cold response from Tu Sufeng. Su Jiacheng didn't understand the mockery he saw in Tu Sufeng's eyes and decided to leave. Unbeknownst to him, the person he suggested taking care of was actually the mysterious highness.

Left alone, Su Jiacheng was filled with anger and frustration. The other masters tried to console him, but he was still furious. Su Jiacheng inquired about the news he asked them to check and expressed his concern for his granddaughter, Helian Jiao'er.

The masters assured him that Helian Jiao'er was talented and that she would have the opportunity to shine in the future. They believed that Helian Weiwei's success in the test was just a fluke, and the real show was yet to come. The masters promised to help Helian Jiao'er get her revenge and restore her reputation in due time.
