Chapter 366 - 181: Eight Battle Axe of the Horizon, Canghai’s Ten Talents_1
"Is this the young man, who has just turned 20 and is already a famous mentor at Canghai Pavilion?"
"Well... I heard he is an Active Awakener, with a mutated Iron Wing Goose Blood Covenant. With the power of the Iron Wing Goose, even if it’s a Mud-cast fetus, it should be able to carry a person and fly, right?"
"That might be true, but he is a mentor after all."
"Look at Mentor Ji and Tutor Xu, aren’t they all calm and composed?"
"As a mentor, rushing after them gives off an impression of being led by the nose, which indeed seems frivolous."
"This Master Han might have seen through this, which is why he put on such a nonchalant attitude, slowly descending the stairs..."
...
The delegation from Canghai Pavilion, of course, was led by more than just Xiong Tao, Zhang ZiYue, and Zhou Yi.
There were many other staff members who assisted in the reception.
Their whispers could be heard by Ye Hanjun if he wanted to listen.
But he was unfazed and completely ignored them.
"Master Han, let’s go together."
Just like Renwo Kuang, You Jin also descended from the high-rise building of several hundred meters by climbing.
After landing, he was also prepared to sprint.
But after noticing Ye Hanjun’s leisurely silhouette, he changed his mind and just slightly increased his pace to match Ye Hanjun’s.
"Alright, let’s take this opportunity to admire the streets of Tianyafu Residence."
"It is, after all, a top-ranking academy, so experiencing a different cultivation atmosphere has its benefits."
Ye Hanjun nodded, a faint smile on his lips.
"Master Han, if you don’t mind us tagging along, we’d like to join in."
Tan Ziping, Zhuang Wenyao... a small group of Canghai Pavilion students, about six or seven, also chose to be different.
They didn’t chase after Xiong Tao or Linghu Fei, but rather took a more leisurely attitude towards the approaching sparring.
"Phew, you guys are not in a hurry at all."
"Follow me at this pace, by the time we arrive, they might have finished their battles."
Ye Hanjun turned around, his expression a mix of amusement and seriousness.
It was not known whether it was because of his various lectures, thus gaining further recognition.
Or because his aura was so radiant, that everyone in Canghai Pavilion harbored curiosity towards him.
With Tan Ziping and Zhuang Wenyao as their leaders, this group of people vaguely began to see him as a role model, with every move and word of his being closely studied and thought about.
"Well, that’s not bad too. If our peers put in more effort, we can slack off and still be praised for being ’proactive’, right?"
Zhuang Wenyao laughed in response, and the other students winked understandingly, fully agreeing with his statement.
This relaxed atmosphere baffled the observing staff, leaving them sometimes confused and sometimes stunned.
Are they really here for a simple outing?
Isn’t your star mentor, Ji Yan, the one who proposed this exchange through practical combat?
Why is it that while everyone else is participating earnestly, this group of people is so leisurely, even finding time to chat and refresh themselves?
"Interesting, very interesting."
Eld Xu slowed down her Windmill horse and hovered in mid-air.
She looked down from above and noticed an oddity in the students forming a small team around Lord Han.
"Well, not going with the flow is also an attitude."
"Xiong Tao is keen on testing our students’ adaptability. Not participating in his test but moving at their own pace is indeed a smart approach."
The Great Mountain Carving passed swiftly. Elder Shan’s figure disappeared, but his voice lingered in the wind:
"Of course, Linghu is very important too. I’ll follow Ji Yan to keep an eye out, just in case anything unexpected happens."
"Eld Xu, keep an eye on them. Slowing down is fine, but they shouldn’t be too caught up in sightseeing."
"You Jin and Tan Ziping are key participants. If they only make it there after everyone has fought... they could come off as arrogant, which wouldn’t be appropriate."
"Go ahead, nothing should go wrong."
"This little Master Han is quite sharp. His perception definitely surpasses his peers."
"Besides, with both Tan Ziping and You Jin by his side, even if they are confronted by Eight Battleaxes on the street, they won’t be defeated in the blink of an eye."
...
After a leisurely journey, they finally arrived at their destination.
It was a battle arena that shaped like a crown, grand and imposing.
As soon as he approached the area, Ye Hanjun noticed that the number of students from Tianyafu passing by had surged. Among the myriad of expressions in their eyes, half of them were of curiosity, the other half filled with youthful excitement.
These are the students of Canghai Pavilion!
The Canghai Pavilion that is ranked even higher than Tianyafu!
I heard that Canghai Pavilion has ten great talents, and three great heroes.
Tianyafu also has eight battle-axes, and two battle hammers.
What is the gap between them...?
Is it possible that Tianyafu has developed rapidly over the years, and this batch of students, whether in position or in their Contracted Spirit Fond Spirits, can be on par with Canghai Pavilion, or perhaps even better?
There were more and more onlookers among the students.
But they didn’t try to stop them, at most they just followed, peeked, and watched.
By the time Ye Hanjun and his group had all entered the battle arena, the crowd surged in, their faces filled with anticipation as they crowded into the spectator seats.
"Canghai Pavilion—Renwo Kuang is victorious!"
"Canghai Pavilion—Li Jingming is victorious!"
"Tianyafu Residence—Yu Jia is victorious!"
...
The vast battle stage was filled with lush trees, quiet streams, and sturdy hills; it appeared peaceful and tranquil.
Xiong Tao was seated on the head of his Contracting Spirit Fond, the Skeleton Eagle, monitoring all directions as if he were the highest-level referee, overseeing the duels in several areas at the same time.
