Chapter 1881 Already Dead
"I really didn't expect that Chen Yang would be a new student this year."
"Let him participate in the official battle as a freshman. The Yaoling Branch is too brave."
"Not to mention the outcome of the official battle, judging from his methods just now, at least among the freshmen, he should have no opponent."
In the stands, disciples from each branch were discussing in low voices.
"I surrender."
Chen Yang was about to fly to the sea arena area, when a woman's voice came from the Xihai Branch arena.
Everyone was stunned and looked over there.
A woman stood up and said to Duan Lian, who was presiding over the freshman battle: "Dean Duan, I admit defeat."
This woman is Chen Yang's opponent, Yu Tong.
Hearing her admitting defeat again, the disciples in the stands all showed astonishment and were not too surprised.
Most people believed that Yu Tong's admission of defeat was a very wise choice.
After all, among the freshmen, it is difficult to find someone who can fight with Chen Yang.
However, the senior officials of each branch sitting in front were confused and could not figure out why Yu Tong gave up at the beginning.
You know, Chen Yang hasn’t made a move yet
Especially the dean of the Xihai branch was so angry that he puffed his beard and glared, muttering: "What the hell is Yu Tong doing? He actually gave up. It's a shame."
At this time, Duan Lian glanced at Yu Tong, and then announced that Chen Yang had won.
Chen Yang won without a fight, cupped his hands towards Yu Tong, and sat down.
This small episode did not have much impact, and the new battle continued.
However, Chen Yang left an impression on the senior officials of other branches.
Everyone wanted to know how he could make Yu Tong admit defeat directly.
"Lai Xingjie of Tianfeng Branch, fighting against Wei Donglin of Chuhe Branch."
After a few rounds, Duan Lian announced after drawing lots.
After hearing this matchup information, the stands fell into silence. Wei Donglin from the Chuhe Branch was embarrassed, not knowing whether to come out or stay in the stands.
"Don't waste time, get on the ring quickly."
Duan Lian urged.
"yes."
Wei Donglin responded, smiled sarcastically, and flew to the arena area above the sea.
"Where's Lai Xingjie?"
Duan Lian looked towards the Tianfeng branch stand and shouted coldly.
The Tianfeng branch disciples all looked very ugly, and no one responded.
Such a situation made the senior officials of each branch look suspicious.
In the front row among the senior officials of each branch, a middle-aged man stood up, turned around and looked behind him at the stands of Tianfeng Branch, and said in a cold voice: "Lai Xingjie, didn't you hear me? Hurry up and go out to fight."
The person who spoke was Xu Zhifeng, the dean of Tianfeng Branch.
The disciples from the Tianfeng branch looked ugly.
Sitting in the middle of the stands, a young man with outstanding temperament stood up and said respectfully to Xu Zhifeng: "Dean, Lai Xingjie can't play anymore."
This person is the number one disciple in Tianfeng Branch, named Du Keyu.
"Why can't he go out to fight? Does he want to surrender? If this kid dares to surrender, let's see how I deal with him!"
Xu Zhifeng said angrily.
Yu Tong's admission of defeat just now has embarrassed the director of the Xihai Branch. His face is still dark and he has not said a word.
Xu Zhifeng didn't want to end up like that.
Even if you know you will lose, you can't admit defeat. You have to come out and fight.
Du Keyu lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Master Dean, Junior Brother Lai's inability to fight does not mean that he is admitting defeat. It is..."
"But what, don't stutter."
Xu Zhifeng said impatiently.
Du Keyu said: "Junior Brother Lai... is already dead."
"What, dead?"
Xu Zhifeng was stunned for a moment and exclaimed, he did not expect to get such an answer.
Lai Xingjie, as a contestant in the Tianfeng Branch Freshman Competition, is one of the most outstanding freshmen in Tianfeng Branch, and Xu Zhifeng is still paying close attention to him.
When I came yesterday, Lai Xingjie was obviously fine, so why did he suddenly die?
Suddenly, Xu Zhifeng was stunned.
Not only him, but also the other high-level branch officials looked puzzled. They didn't understand what was going on?
There was silence for a moment, Xu Zhifeng's face darkened, and he said to Du Keyu: "Keyu, what's going on?"
Du Keyu glanced at the stands of Yaoling Branch and said: "Dean, before you guys came, Junior Brother Lai was killed by a junior brother from Yaoling Branch."
"What!"
Xu Zhifeng's face turned cold and he glanced at the stands of Yaoling Branch.
"what happened?"
Ke Zeyao also stood up and asked in a deep voice.
Although the seven branches of Longwu Academy in the Western Continent are in a competitive relationship, they are not mortal enemies.
Randomly killing people from other branches is considered killing fellow sect members, which is strictly prohibited.
No matter who it is, if they commit this matter, they will definitely be punished, and no one will be spared. Life for life.
Chen Yang had long expected that this moment would happen.
He stood up unhurriedly, cupped his hands to Xu Zhifeng, and said calmly: "Dean Xu, it was I who killed Lai Xingjie."
"You are so brave, you dare to kill someone in public!"
Xu Zhifeng was furious, and a terrifying momentum immediately locked onto Chen Yang.
He was not in a hurry to take action, but if Chen Yang's answer was slightly wrong, he would kill Chen Yang on the spot.
At that time, even Ke Zeyao had nothing to say.
Ke Zeyao frowned and asked Chen Yang, "Chen Yang, what happened? Why did you kill the people from Tianfeng branch?"
Xu Zhifeng shouted: "If you don't give me a satisfactory explanation, I will take your head today."
Chen Yang showed no fear at all. He glanced at Xu Zhifeng, and then said to Ke Zeyao: "Dean, after I arrived just now, the brothers from the other six branches mocked me, saying that I was not qualified to participate in the formal battle, and despised our Yaoling branch for being weak..."
"This can't be the reason for you to kill Lai Xingjie."
Before Chen Yang finished speaking, Xu Zhifeng shouted sternly.
If Chen Yang stood up first, he would not be able to take Chen Yang's life.
Ke Zeyao's face turned cold, and he said to Xu Zhifeng: "Dean Xu, can you listen to Chen Yang's words first?"
Xu Zhifeng narrowed his eyes and said: "In this case, then I will listen to him. However, no matter what the reason, killing a fellow disciple is absolutely not allowed."
It is indeed not allowed, but if it is a life-and-death battle, both parties agree, there is no way to hold them accountable.
Chen Yang said: "Facing the ridicule of the other six branches, I felt very uncomfortable, but for the sake of the overall situation, I endured the humiliation and said nothing. Everyone present can testify to this."
Xu Zhifeng looked at the stands and said in a deep voice: "Is what Chen Yang said false?"
The whole audience was silent, obviously acknowledging that Chen Yang's words were true.
As for his endurance, everyone felt... not very likely.
Chen Yang continued: "I could endure it, but later Lai Xingjie stood up and said he wanted to challenge me, which was bullying at the door. However, for the friendly relationship of the seven branches, I did not argue with him."
Ke Zeyao nodded in appreciation: "You did the right thing."
Xu Zhifeng's face was a little ugly, and he said to Chen Yang in a cold voice: "Go on."
