Chapter 47: Results Matter_1
More people trickled in, and at half-past two, a tall, thin teacher entered the room. After an opening speech, he said, "For tomorrow’s class, we will practice in the training room. We will now start with the theoretical knowledge of Phantom Power. Since you’ve all made it into this class, it means your Phantom Power has already reached the Phantom Master level. You should all have some understanding of Phantom Power. In your Dantian, there’s a milky substance—that’s the Phantom Power Source. It stores the Phantom Power that you absorb. Only those with a Phantom Power Source can train to become Phantom Masters. However, everyone’s Phantom Power Source is different; some are as big as a thumb, others might only be the size of a grain of rice. The larger the Phantom Power Source, the faster your training speed will be..."
The two-hour class ended quickly, and the teacher left as soon as he had dismissed the class. Dugu Qianye and her classmates were also preparing to leave. She was still pondering the content of the lecture when her path was blocked.
"Are you Baili Xie?" the person blocking the way asked.
"What’s the matter?" Dugu Qianye raised her head to get a clear view of the newcomer.
"Nothing much, we just heard you joined our class without an assessment, and everyone is curious to see just how formidable you are. We would like to spar with you," the leader said.
"What do you want, just say it," Dugu Qianye responded coldly.
"Let’s go to the Arena for a match. If you win, we’ll acknowledge your place in our class; if you lose, please leave," the leader stated.
Dugu Qianye looked around and noticed that nearly all the students from class 1A were there, indicating that many had issues with her direct admission.
"Fine," Dugu Qianye nodded. Although she was indifferent to others’ recognition, she did not want to be constantly harassed for this reason. And the most direct way to stop the harassment was to let her strength speak for itself.
News of a freshman from class 1A heading for a duel in the Arena spread quickly throughout the academy. Everyone wanted to see who was so audacious to step into the Arena on the first day of school, so by the time Dugu Qianye and her group arrived, the Arena was already surrounded by many people.
