Chapter 376: Yi Chen’s Match

’At least this one has a good stance.’ Instructor Tang muttered inwardly while facing Qin Yao, who was standing in front of him with his sword out.

Taking out his sword the next moment, Instructor Tang gestured for Qin Yao to start attacking.

"Come."

HAAAH!

Getting the signal he had been waiting for, Qin Yao rushed forward with his sword angled directly in front of him.

Clang! SIIIIEEEK!

The swords clashed before sparks flew in the air as Qin Yao forcefully slid his sword down toward the hilt of Instructor Tang’s sword, causing him to push Qin Yao away lest the sword cut his hand.

After being pushed away, Qin Yao immediately recovered his bearing and rushed in his direction again, only to pause, seeing that Instructor Tang’s sword was already coming towards him from the side.

Clang!

With gritted teeth, he blocked the attack at just the right moment and was about to retaliate, only to realise that Instructor Tang’s sword was now coming towards him from the opposite direction, forcing all his attention in the opposite direction.

’So quick!’ Qin Yao thought in panic, and with gritted teeth he rushed to block the incoming attack, only for a similar attack to come again from the other side.

’No...at this rate I’ll get exhausted before I can do anything!’

Realising this, instead of wasting his efforts trying to attack Instructor Tang in the small time period he had, he decided to distract him instead.

Clang!

Blocking the incoming strike again, he used the force absorbed by his blade to twist his entire body and, while at it, landed a heavy blow onto the stage. This finally made Instructor Tang take a few steps back as a result.

’Now!’

Qin Yao’s eyes narrowed at that very moment, and keeping his body as close to the ground as possible, he rushed straight toward Instructor Tang’s figure.

The dust rising in the air aided Qin Yao’s plan, as Instructor Tang was a little taken aback, seeing his figure suddenly bursting out from the cloud of dust.

Clenching his jaw as tightly as possible, Qin Yao slashed upwards with all his might, his sword’s blade rushing to cut Instructor Tang’s torso in two halves.

Clang!

However, just before it could make contact, the strike was cleanly blocked by Instructor Tang, whose eyes glimmered in delight while glancing towards Qin Yao.

As a result, before Qin Yao could even take in the fact that the strike into which he had poured his everything was easily blocked by Instructor Tang, the following words rang in his ears.

"You’re selected. Congratulations."

"This..."

Qin Yao’s eyes immediately widened when he processed those words, and he immediately looked into Instructor Tang’s eyes in order to confirm what he had just heard and was met with a nod.

"...I did it!"

He exclaimed the very next instant as his eyes swept over all the faces standing below the stage before finally landing on the person he was looking for.

Seeing Qin Yao looking directly at him, Yi Chen raised his hands with a proud smile on his face and clapped for him, which brought a huge smile to Qin Yao’s face.

’Oh?’

It was also at this moment that Yi Chen’s figure caught Instructor Tang’s attention.

"Interesting..." he muttered to himself, seeing their small exchange before gesturing for Qin Yao to move to the designated spot.

The next candidates were naturally Feng Min and Feng Ning, who, one after the other, shocked everyone by successfully clearing the second stage.

"Three successive clearings???"

"Aren’t they all from the Feng Clan?"

"...So, the Feng Clan has been cultivating such talents in secret all this while...No wonder they managed to take the first rank in the rankings..."

Listening to the murmurings among the candidates around him, Yi Chen couldn’t help but break into a smile.

’The two of them have indeed improved greatly in this time period...’ Yi Chen muttered as the earlier matches replayed through his mind.

"Selected!"

It was at that moment that Yi Chen’s attention was immediately drawn towards the stage.

In the middle of the stage, he saw Zhou Mei’s figure standing with a hint of pride evident on her face as she stared directly towards him.

’Wait...it hasn’t even been fifteen seconds since her match started,’ Yi Chen couldn’t help but widen his eyes at the results.

Meanwhile, with a beaming smile on her face, Zhou Mei said with a bright expression, "I’ll be waiting for your performance then, Brother Chen! You better not disappoint me."

She energetically waved her hand towards him before making her way towards the spot where Qin Yao and others were waiting for her.

Seeing this exchange, Instructor Tang, who already had somewhat of an impression of Yi Chen thanks to Qin Yao, couldn’t help but grow even more curious.

’Could it be that he’s the most talented among the four of them?’ Instructor Tang thought while gesturing for Yi Chen to come up to the stage.

Seeing this, Yi Chen nodded and, after taking a deep breath to clear his mind, made his way towards the stage.

’A mace...’

An expression of great interest arose in Instructor Tang’s mind upon seeing the weapon Yi Chen had just taken out of his storage ring, but the very next second it turned into a deep frown.

’Wait...why is he still holding it as if it’s a sword? Did he fail to even understand the very basics in these fifteen days?’

The more Instructor Tang thought about it, the greater his disappointment became, as the earlier cloud of interest that had formed in his mind disappeared completely.

’What a pity...’

He thought to himself while taking out a mace from his storage ring as well, and after taking a proper stance, gestured towards Yi Chen.

"Come."

Hearing the signal, Yi Chen tightly gripped the handle while rushing towards Instructor Tang’s figure, and the very next moment the two heads of the maces struck each other, sending a reverberating echo in all directions.
