The villainous simp ignores the plot and mercilessly torments the female lead to tears.

"But he looks like he's only a fourth-rank martial artist. Can he defeat the two opponents?"

"Have you forgotten the traditions of the Great Xia, my friend? The people of the Great Xia love to hide their true strength. He must be concealing his true power."

As more and more people gathered around him, Rod couldn't stand still any longer. If he waited any longer, the confidence of his two students might be completely shattered.

He hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the two of them, saying, "Don't waste your breath on them, let's go first."

Alec and Daisy snapped out of their daze, didn't refuse, and followed Rhodes away.

Qin Yu, smiling, asked, "Luo De, why are you leaving? We haven't seen each other for so long, aren't we going to chat for a bit more?"

Rhodes simply snorted and left without looking back.

Rod led the two students a short distance before stopping, then turned to look at them, his expression very serious, and asked:

"What did you guys think of that kid from earlier?"

A hint of apprehension flashed in Alec's eyes as he said, "He's very strong. The pressure he exerts on me is even greater than that on Daisy."

Rod then looked at Daisy and asked, "Dasily, what do you think?"

Daisy's face was solemn as she said, "He is a very formidable opponent."

Upon hearing their conversation, Rhodes shook his head slightly and said:

"You're all wrong, you're all wrong."

Daisy and Alec both looked at Rhodes with puzzled expressions, not understanding what he meant.

A smile appeared on Rhodes' face: "You guys are still too young; you can't see through appearances to the essence."

"Although that student from Great Xia has a strong presence and good talent, these are all superficial and cannot hide the fact that he is only a fourth-rank martial artist."

"You are all high-level fifth-rank martial artists. Your strength is undeniable, and you are definitely stronger than them. So don't let him affect you. He's just deliberately trying to undermine your confidence."

Rod's words made the two of them suddenly realize something, like seeing the moon after the clouds had parted.

“These students from Great Xia are truly despicable,” Alec said bitterly, “They actually used such methods to scare us.”

Daisy didn't speak, but a smile appeared on her face, a smile that also concealed a hint of ruthlessness.

That damned brat from the Great Xia dared to scare her like that! Once we're in the secret realm, she'll definitely beat him until he kneels on the ground and begs for forgiveness.

Rhodes turned around and started leading the two of them back, saying, "We can have someone test this guy's strength later."

"Hmm, hasn't the White Elephant Kingdom always been dissatisfied with the Great Xia? Let them try."

Alec and Daisy had no objection to the suggestion; they also wanted to use this opportunity to understand Qin Yan's true strength.

On the other side, led by the staff, Qin Yu and his group arrived at their accommodation, a row of temporary, simple houses.

Upon arriving at the location, Qin Yu looked at the students and said, "Each of you go and choose your own room. Remember, choose the middle room; leave the rooms at the ends for me and the other teachers."

He made these arrangements to prevent others from causing trouble or more serious attacks, which had happened before.

Several years ago, a small country attacked another small country that had a grudge against them during a global university elite competition, causing heavy casualties on the latter.

Although security for the event has been strengthened after this incident, we still need to be extra careful. After all, this is not our territory, and they have many ways to cause trouble if they want to.

The students readily agreed and then went to choose their rooms.

After making their selections, they began to carefully inspect the rooms, lest those shameless people from the White Eagle Kingdom put anything improper in them.

......

Around noon, Qin Yu and the other guards took Qin Yan and the others out for lunch, but left two people behind to keep watch and prevent anyone from sneaking into the room and doing anything sabotaging it.
