Hunting God Era

Chapter 55 Pay attention and don’t lose face!
Two days passed in a flash. On this day, Li Ye arrived at school early and boarded the bus that had been prepared to head to Wuyu Middle School.

"Wu Yu ah"

On the bus, Deng Hao sighed, "I've heard about it before. They only recruit people who broke through the Dragon Gate in junior high school. They're incredibly strong. Ningjiang City's number one middle school, the dream of so many students. I never thought I'd be going to their home turf this time."

"Please don't do this."

Jia Dong, standing to the side, spoke up: "This person hasn't even arrived yet, and you're already bragging about the enemy. Where do you put my brother Ye? Show some respect, don't embarrass yourself!"

Deng Hao clicked his tongue, inexplicably feeling an urge to curse someone else's mother and go back to their hometown.

There were three main players, but the entire martial arts class came to watch the match and cheer them on; they couldn't let their morale be low.

"Brother Li."

Yang Jie, who was sitting behind Li Ye, leaned out and said apologetically, "Sorry, I might be a drag on the team in this district martial arts competition."

If they wait until Xiang Feipeng recovers and returns, they will have three martial artists on the path to breakthrough. No matter how strong Hua Zihang is, he can only defeat one, and their Fu Chuxue can also defeat one, which is equivalent to a draw.

If Xiang Feipeng were here, he could replace Yang Jie as a weak link, greatly reducing the probability of losing. Xiang Feipeng is a master of strategic maneuvering; even if he can't win, he can at least tie for first place.

Yang Jie has been going through a tough time these past few days, constantly feeling like he's holding everyone back.

"It doesn't matter, and there's no difference."

Li Ye laughed and said, "Don't put so much pressure on yourself. Just think of it as going out for fun. I'll let you know that you didn't call me 'brother' for nothing."

Whether there's one more Xiang Feipeng or not, it really makes no difference to Li Ye.

This is also a good time to truly test his combat strength. He wants to see just how far he can go now.

lose?
He can't possibly lose.

Best two out of three, we've got it!

The bus soon arrived at a wide avenue in the Dongcheng District. There were few buildings around the avenue, with a park at one end and a huge school campus occupying half of the street at the other.

The entrance in the very center is even more elaborate than the entrance of a luxury residential area. The plaque above it reads "Wuyu Middle School," and below it is a framed piece of calligraphy in wild cursive script.

"Damn, all, people?"

Deng Hao read them aloud one by one, his expression strange. "So domineering?"

Jia Dong said expressionlessly, "That's called having something to hold onto. Calligraphy, from right to left, have you ever been to school?"

Deng Hao: "..."

When a group of people got off the bus, other buses had already stopped around them, and groups of martial arts students had gathered there as well.

"Lao Gu."

A young woman walked over, shook hands with Gu Yang, and said with a smile, "It's started again this year. Another day of losing to Wu Yu."

"No way, you might want to lose, but I don't."

Gu Yang laughed and said, "In competitions, there is no second place. I still want to win."

“You guys definitely have a chance. It’s a five-to-three competition. In the past few years, your No. 14 Middle School has been able to enter the city’s martial arts competition, but we might not be so lucky. It’s all because you have Fu Chuxue.”

The young woman chuckled, then glanced at the martial arts students getting off the bus. "Where's Xiang Feipeng? Couldn't stand his temper, so you made him transfer schools? This is the last graduating class; isn't it a shame he transferred?"

"He had something to do and couldn't come, there's nothing we can do."

Gu Yang said, "We can only choose another one from the martial arts students."

"Yao Ledan or Fei Zhishang, three dragon gates aren't enough, are they?"

The young woman asked curiously, "They broke through?"

The main players and backups of No. 14 Middle School have long been identified.

Fu Chuxue is undisputed, followed by Xiang Feipeng and Yang Jie, who are quite outstanding. Yao Ledan and Fei Zhishang are also decent, but the rest don't need much attention. The Four Dragons Gate is the best team to participate in the martial arts competition. It's not that the Three Dragons Gate is forbidden, but if they participate, they're destined to be utterly crushed.

"Li Ye".

Gu Yang called out, gesturing for Li Ye to step forward. Pointing at him, he said, "This is Li Ye, a martial arts student from the Four Dragons Sect. He's the main player replacing Xiang Feipeng this time. Li Ye, this is Teacher Li, the martial arts instructor from No. 2 Middle School."

"We're still from the same family."

Teacher Li smiled gently, turned slightly to the side, and nodded to Li Ye.

Martial arts practitioners generally have great physiques, and this Teacher Li is no exception; not only is he handsome and well-proportioned, but he's also very tall.

With the slightest movement, the oversized tracksuit almost failed to conceal anything, causing it to sway.

"Alright, then I won't bother you any longer. See you at the competition venue. I'll take my students in first."

After exchanging a brief greeting, Teacher Li bid farewell to Gu Yang, completely disregarding Li Ye.

The fourth Dragon Gate student who replaced Xiang Feipeng was a newly promoted student from the Third Dragon Gate, and he was not yet being paid attention to, unlike Yao Ledan and Fei Zhishang who were still somewhat noticed.

He's either someone who practices a mix of foundational skills and basic martial arts, or someone who learned at a martial arts school; neither is a threat.

As for someone like Fu Chuxue, don't be ridiculous. If it weren't for their principal's connections and Fu Yan's own great abilities, who doesn't care where he goes to high school, the entire Ningjiang would not be qualified to let such a student attend.

The truly prestigious schools had already caught wind of it and were coming to ask for my transfer.

This time, the competition for spots will be less intense.

When Gu Yang saw Teacher Li leading the group in, he also revealed a mysterious smile.

He could tell from Xiao Li's nonchalant attitude that he didn't take Li Ye seriously at all, and he was sure to surprise them later.

If you pass through the Four Dragon Gates and don't run into Hua Zihang, you're guaranteed to win!

But Gu Yang didn't need to hide it too much. He would know Li Ye's strength once he stepped onto the stage, and after the martial arts competition, someone would definitely come knocking on his door.

Thinking this, he glanced at Li Ye again and secretly clicked his tongue.

This kid is shrewd. A regular contract probably won't be enough to sway him. He'll have to bleed a little to keep him, but that's the principal's problem. Anyway, it's not Gu Yang's money that's being spent.

Why aren't we leaving yet?

Deng Hao looked around and, seeing that only they were at the door, asked, "Is anyone else missing?"

"You called her a great beauty last time, and you were stunned for quite a while. Have you already forgotten?"

Jia Dong said, "Fu Chuxue, the great genius of the Eight Dragons Gate, is waiting for him."

He's like a dragon, appearing and disappearing without a trace. I haven't seen him since the start of the semester. He's always practicing his martial arts; he has no time to think about women. Deng Hao has indeed forgotten.

"Damn, that's amazing. So many people are waiting for her, and she really did it."

Before the words were even finished, a black sedan drove up and stopped precisely in the center of the school gate. First, a very standard bodyguard in black got out of the passenger seat, opened the back door, and let Fu Chuxue, who was wearing a silver-white school uniform, out.

Just like that day, she wore her hair in a ponytail and no makeup, but her exquisite features and cold aura made everyone momentarily stunned and fall silent.

Gu Yang's smile even had a hint of ingratiation, "Fu Chuxue, you're here."

Fu Chuxue nodded in greeting, and without waiting for anyone to speak, she stepped inside on her own.

Gu Yang shook his head: "Okay, everyone's here, let's go in."

As he spoke, he led the group through the gate and headed towards the venue.

　I've been busy helping my cousin with his wedding since last night, and I even went to pick up the bride today, so my update is a bit late. Sorry.
