Chapter 192 The Announcement of the Championship and the Overwhelming Rebuke

Clang!

A loud sound of metal clanging was heard. Chu Yunfan’s saber fiercely slashed onto Lu Xiuran’s sword.

Sparks flew in all directions!

Everyone witnessed a terrifying scene. Chu Yunfan held his saber in one hand and completely suppressed Lu Xiuran who was holding onto his sword with two hands.

Clang, clang, clang!

Lu Xiuran kept retreating. Both of his arms were trembling. The shock in his eyes could not be concealed.

Just how terrifying was Chu Yunfan’s strength? His two hands were suppressed by the other party’s one hand. What kind of shocking strength was this?

Only now did he know why Chu Yunfan was unwilling to make a move earlier. It was because the difference was too great!

“How is this possible? I am an elite student of Yucai High. How could I lose to an ordinary school like you?!” Lu Xiuran roared, steadied his steps, and once again pounced toward Chu Yunfan.

Slash!

A terrifying black blade light chopped down.

Clang!

Lu Xiuran let out a miserable cry and retreated many steps back. Everyone saw that the palm of his hand was bleeding.

It was a bloody mess.

Immediately after, Chu Yunfan slashed down again. This strike was fast and urgent and did not give Lu Xiuran any chance to react. Lu Xiuran could only instinctively raise his sword to resist.

Clang!

Slash!

Lu Xiuran’s entire palm split open and fresh blood splattered out. The sword in his hand was sent flying and after a series of buzzing sounds, landed on the floor of the ring.

Lu Xiuran felt his vision go black and then felt a chill at his neck. Chu Yunfan’s saber had reached his neck before he knew it.

“You’ve lost,” Chu Yunfan’s indifferent voice sounded in Lu Xiuran’s ears

A bitter smile appeared on Lu Xiuran’s face. He said, “Yes, I’ve lost. I didn’t expect you to be so strong. It seems that your goal is the championship battle and not this stage. If I hadn’t forced you, how long would you have waited?”

Lu Xiuran’s words instantly caused an uproar. “What? His goal is actually the championship battle?”

“And how would that be possible? The championship battle has always been a civil war between No. 5 and No. 7 High. This year, at most, there’ll be Yucai High added to the mix. Who does he think he is? He actually dares to dream of being the champion!”

“It’s not impossible. He is really strong.”

“Lu Xiuran is at the eighth level of the Qi Sea Stage. He’s basically the elite of the strongest batch of elites. And even he doesn’t have the strength to defeat Chu Yunfan.”

“Could an ordinary high school finally have produced such a monster?!” Someone could not help but exclaim.

Many people started discussing it animatedly. At first, everyone thought that Chu Yunfan was just wishful thinking. It was simply impossible. But after Chu Yunfan’s astonishing performance, it might not be impossible after all.

Lu Xiuran’s words instantly made Chu Yunfan the focus of everyone’s attention.

“The championship battle?” Ran Jun’s pupils contracted slightly. He had not expected that there would be a person like Chu Yunfan. But judging from Chu Yunfan’s performance, he might really have the strength to compete.

“A newcomer has joined? This is interesting. Every year, I have to face the same people from No. 5 High. There’s almost ever no one new,” Yu Xinyuan said with a chuckle.

Meanwhile, Tong Xinran from No. 5 High seemed to have broken out of her peaceful and quiet world. She raised her head and looked at Chu Yunfan with a calm expression.

The gazes of the three top experts collectively fell on Chu Yunfan. Chu Yunfan was not the slightest bit perturbed.

He looked at Lu Xiuran. Seeing the somewhat proud smile on Lu Xiuran’s face, he understood that he thought that he was pulling him into the whirlpool and making him everyone’s target.

However, why would Chu Yunfan care about such things?

He smiled slightly and said, “Since you’re here, isn’t there no meaning if you don’t become the champion?”

Chu Yunfan had once said this sentence to the students of No. 13 High. Now, he was saying it in front of everyone, and it instantly caused an uproar.

This was because he was the first to mention that he wanted to be the champion!

Even the top three most favored of the Yunning District had never dared declare that they wanted to be the champion in front of everyone! This undoubtedly caused a huge blow to everyone.

“He…actually dared to say t…” Ou Yang was stunned as he looked at Chu Yunfan.

He thought that Chu Yunfan had just been shouting slogans to motivate the crowd. But now it seemed like Chu Yunfan was not just shouting slogans. He was planning to win for real! Zhang Teng stared at Chu Yunfan with his mouth agape. He had always regarded Chu Yunfan as a formidable opponent, but when he was just trying to not let their school be ranked last, Chu Yunfan had aimed to be the champion. For the first time, he truly felt the gap between them. There had not been such a huge gap between him and Ou Yang. However, the gap between him and Chu Yunfan was simply like people from two different worlds.

“B*stard. How arrogant!”

“Take a good look at yourself. How dare you dream of being the champion!”

“I think you really don’t know the immensity of Heaven and Earth!”

After the initial shock, the students of No. 5, No. 7, and Yucai High were enraged and shouted angrily. They could not allow students from an ordinary school like Chu Yunfan to challenge them. Over the years, although there had been appearances of geniuses from the ordinary schools, no matter how great they were, they could not get involved in the championship. That was an event reserved for No. 5 and No. 7 High. And in order to squeeze in, Yucai High had toiled for many years before they were recognized by everyone.

At the stands, Mr. Lin was staring at Chu Yunfan. His eyes were shining. No one knew what he was thinking, but there was an extremely dangerous look in his eyes.

On the field, in the face of reprimands and doubts coming from all directions, Chu Yunfan only smiled. He said, “So many of you are saying that I can’t do it. You’ve sure scared me. How about this? Count me in on the championship battle! Your words mean naught about whether you have the strength to compete or not. You want to rely on your foundation and honor? Everything should be based on strength. It’s a little too early for you to mock me now. When I fail, you can mock me again. There’s still time!”

Chu Yunfan’s words made the people around him gap. After a moment, another wave of scolding started up again.
