Chapter 183: Law Enforcement Squad's Wu Hao, The Little Witch Hu Jia
As the center of attention in this tournament, Wu Tian could feel the countless gazes filled with mixed emotions directed at him as he walked. However, he remained indifferent.
Just a bunch of ants how could they possibly affect me?
However…
When he spotted a certain curvaceous figure in the distance, a girl boldly revealing her fair skin, he had to admit his heart wavered just a little.
Of course, it was only a brief reaction.
A gentleman uses his words, not his hands!
Feeling the warmth of Xun'er's gentle, lotus like smile beside him, Wu Tian savored the moment. He also took the opportunity to enjoy the sensation of his arm being squeezed in a familiar way.
The sight of Wu Tian and Xun'er together an undeniably eye catching pair naturally drew the attention of most of the spectators.
Everyone was still in disbelief about Wu Tian.
Just how strong was he?
Every fight he had ended with a single wave of his sleeve, sending his opponent flying.
After just two matches, no one even wanted to fight him anymore.
It wasn't just about losing his opponents flew so far it was utterly humiliating.
Wu Tian was well aware that the old geezers of the Outer Academy were using him to humble the arrogant students to show them that there was always someone stronger.
Since that made things easier for him, he happily obliged.
He needed to enter the Inner Academy as soon as possible and claim the Fallen Heart Flame.
"The forty first match, Xuan Class, Law Enforcement Squad Wu Hao!"
When the referee called the name, Wu Tian's eyes flickered with interest for the first time.
That name… sounded familiar.
And quite dominant, too.
If you broke it down, it basically meant "Sky Devouring Almighty Wu."
Truly a name blessed by the heavens!
"Wu Gan brother, that Wu Hao also pursued me before, but I rejected him. However, he never really gave up…"
Xun'er leaned against his shoulder, speaking softly.
Wu Tian smirked as he glanced at Wu Hao.
Can an insect ever hope to shine like the moon?
Just another insignificant pickled fish trying to challenge the sky devouring Wu Tian?
Ruo Lin chuckled and added, "Before you arrived, Wu Hao was considered Bai Shan's biggest competition for Xun'er's affection. But compared to you, they're nothing."
Wu Tian looked at Ruo Lin and sighed.
Ah… the trouble of being loved by beautiful women.
How should I handle this?
Wu Hao, dressed in blood red robes, exuded an intense killing aura as he stepped onto the stage.
His mere presence was enough to make his opponent surrender in fear.
Like Wu Tian, he had been winning every match without even fighting, making the crowd believe that the two of them were the strongest competitors.
By the end of the day, Wu Tian, Xun'er, Wu Hao, and the little witch Hu Jia had all effortlessly advanced in the tournament.
…
The Next Day.
Today was destined to be the most exciting day of the tournament the grand climax.
Because of that, the number of spectators had doubled compared to before.
Many had even come from Jia Nan City just to witness the event.
The academy gates were packed, with people pushing and shoving to get inside. Even the competitors were struggling to enter the arena properly.
Wu Tian briefly considered showing off by making a flashy entrance.
But after some thought, he decided against it.
He was a humble man who preferred to keep a low profile.
Besides, simply having his arm around Xun'er's waist was already high profile enough.
If he jumped over the crowd, it would be too ostentatious.
Walking through the long, dark passageway, Wu Tian sighed.
The noise was deafening.
If this were the Serpent Clan, anyone who dared to be this loud would've been slapped into silence.
But here? He could only endure it.
There were too many people his hands would get tired from all the slapping.
Under Ruo Lin's guidance, they finally made their way inside.
Seated comfortably, Wu Tian and Xun'er whispered and laughed together.
Across from them, Hu Jia, the little witch, was fuming.
That damn Wu Tian!
Always whispering in Xun'er's ear!
Just wait when she got the chance, she would teach him a lesson!
Hmph! I'll whisper into his ear too let's see how he likes it!
Hu Jia was an undeniable beauty with a stunning figure.
But her personality was a bit… unique.
As the granddaughter of Vice Dean Hu Gan, everyone in the academy had to give her respect.
Yet, Wu Tian was the only man who had never given her the time of day.
Every other guy was interested in her, yet he ignored her completely.
He didn't even look at her!
To her, this was an unforgivable insult.
And to make matters worse, he was always flirting with her Xun'er!
It was driving her crazy!
DONG!
As the bright sun rose high into the sky, the sound of a bell echoed across the plaza.
Instantly, the noisy crowd fell silent, all eyes turning toward the grand arena.
The white bearded elder Vice Dean Hu Gan slowly stood up, his deep voice resonating like thunder.
"Yesterday, fifty competitors qualified for the Inner Academy. However, the Inner Academy has a clear hierarchy."
"If you want better training conditions, you must achieve the best results in today's final matches. Every rank matters it will determine the resources you receive!"
"Give it your all to secure the best cultivation environment possible!"
"Now, I will announce a special rule."
"Wu Gan and Xiao Xun'er will automatically be awarded first and second place. If anyone is unsatisfied, you may challenge them!"
"If you defeat them, you will take their rank!"
The entire arena fell into stunned silence.
Then, all eyes turned toward Wu Tian and Xun'er.
It was obvious Hu Gan was deliberately making Wu Tian a target.
And he was doing a damn good job of it.
No one questioned Xun'er's strength.
She had effortlessly won every match, though she had never truly revealed her full power.
Even Hu Jia had to admit Xun'er was definitely stronger than her.
She was an enigma, hiding her true strength so well that only her man Wu Tian probably knew how strong she really was.
Since Xun'er wouldn't draw much hostility, that meant all the resentment would be directed at Wu Tian alone.
Looking at the forty plus students glaring at him, Wu Tian sighed.
This method of fighting… suits me just fine.
Stepping forward, he boldly declared, "Don't waste time coming at me one by one just attack all at once!"
Hu Gan's eyes flickered in amusement.
What an arrogant kid.
Did he really think he could take on everyone at once?
Even Hu Gan himself couldn't fully see through Wu Tian's true power.
This would be the perfect chance to test his strength.
Smiling slightly, he said, "Very well. All fifty students, enter the arena. You may use any methods you like. The last one standing wins!"
"If you get knocked out of the ring, you lose. Your ranking will be determined by how long you last in the battle."
Wu Tian smirked playfully.
"Survival is victory"?
Then I'll make sure none of them survive long enough to find out!
