Legend of Ye Futian

Black horse

Ye Futian looked towards Ling Xiao, who laughed at him with irony. However, Ye Futian looked as calm as ever.

"This list only contains those who are only qualified, why are you laughing like that?" Ye Futian spoke slowly, then looked around him and saw that others were laughing too.

"Come on, that's right," Ling Xiao laughed even harder and looked at Ye Futian. "You don't think you made it into the Featured List, do you? You've been fantasizing for three years, and you don't seem to be stopping now. You know what? You have no hope."

"Look at your face. Stop that outrageous laugh, please. I doubt you'll be able to keep laughing when I get onto the Featured List." Ye Futian frowned. He knew Ling Xiao had always underestimated him, but how severe was his hatred until Ling Xiao was so interested in his failure?

"That sounds like you won't shed a tear until you see the results. Then keep waiting." Ling Xiao's voice sounded cold. Ye Futian shook his head and ignored him.

The lecturers were still busy organizing the exam papers and lists. After a while, Qin Yi came to the stage to announce the names of the 72 students who had made it onto the Graduation List. Of course, an outstanding student like Ling Xiao was on the list. He was now acting even more arrogant towards Ye Futian. He waited until the end of the announcement list to throw all the insults right into Ye Futian's face.

Feng Qingxue was delighted that her name did not appear on the Graduation List. He had definitely passed the examination, which meant that his name might be on the Shining Disciple List. Once he did well the written exam, he would achieve his goal.

"Feng Qingxue." The list of Shining Disciples was announced, and Feng Qingxue was the first. His eyes glowed as he smiled happily. He definitely deserved his place on the Shining Disciple List.

"Yu Sheng." Announcement continues. Every name on that list really meant something in that academy.

"Murong Qiu." This is the last name on the list. The person reading the list lowered his hand.

Murong Qiu suddenly turned pale, and looked as if he was completely frustrated.

There are 36 names on the Brilliant Pupil List. For most ordinary people, it means a lot. But unfortunately, it wasn't for him. Being in a rank other than the Featured List meant failure for him.

Last time, he was ranked third on the Featured List. He had participated in the exam this time to challenge the legendary girl, but he had failed again, and with even worse results. In the stands, a member of the Murong family also looked extremely grim.

"Murong Qiu was only on the Shining Disciple List. There is not even a rank for this list," the Murong family member muttered. They are right, as only the top three can rank for being on the Featured List.

Other people were also wondering and discussing on their own. There should be three people on the Featured List. Logically the legendary girl and Yang Xiu would be the top two. But if so, who had taken Murong Qiu's place?

It was even more mysterious because the famous students were all already enrolled on the Shining Disciple List. People can't find anyone less.

"It looks like we have a dark horse [1]1, but who is it?" People started looking for who got this honor.

This mystery had nothing to do with Ling Xiao. He watched Ye Futian intently, believing that the boy was only bluffing and feigning calm after the first two lists were announced.

Up ahead, some of the academy's masters were arguing about the ranks of the last three tests. Yang Xiu took a deep breath; he was not sure if he would defeat Hua Jieyu this time. He had already promised the School of Magic Arts that after this Autumn Assessment he would join and become an official student, meaning that this was his last chance to defeat Hua Jieyu.

Eventually, the elders came to an agreement. Someone took note of the decision, and a teacher prepared to make a final announcement. The entire place was suddenly covered in silence. Everyone's ears were excited to hear the final decision.

"Yang Xiu, number three on the Featured List," a teacher began to read out. Everyone immediately started to gossip.

Yang Xiu is only number three? Did ya?

Yang Xiu, someone who had always been under Hua Jieyu, suffered the same tragedy as Murong Qiu? Who caused that?

Impossible! Yang Xiu got nothing but disappointment after waiting for the result. He seemed surprised. This isimpossible….

Her entire mind had been fixated on ranking above Hua Jieyu. But this time, it was even worse. How should he accept this reality?

"Oh my God, who is he?" People are getting curious. They began to focus on the teacher who announced the list.

"Number two on the Featured List, Hua Jieyu." Another name was mentioned, and it confused the entire crowd.

Hua Jieyu was consecutively ranked number one for the three Autumn Rating. Now he's number two? How did that happen?

What was even stranger was that Yang Xiu or Murong Qing had never defeated him. There was only one thing on everyone's mind in the building: who was this 'Black Horse?

Tension is at its highest. Everyone waited in suspense to find out who that person was.

He's succeeding. Yu Sheng clenched his fists excitedly. No one knew why he had suddenly acted this way, or whether there was something worthy of admiration. However, he was the only one who knew what was going to happen.

The teacher's eyes scanned the entire crowd, finally stopping at a young boy. The teacher looked surprised and surprised. For three years he was nobody in the academy, but now he will become a superstar?

"The number one ranking on the Featured List for the Qingzhou Academy's Assessment is ..." the teacher stopped, then said slowly:

"Ye — Fu — Tian!"

The crowd became silent after hearing this name. It was as if the entire building had been muted.

Diverse expressions appeared on the faces of the crowd. They had considered every possibility, but not Ye Futian. How could their imaginations be so wild? This fellow had missed the exam for three years, and was trapped inside the Collection Plane. Ye Futian, the written test champion, sounded like the worst joke ever.

However, people soon realized that the teachers of the academy would never do such a joke for this exam. Suddenly, they looked even more surprised by the decision.

"Ye Futian, number one? Tell me I'm dreaming, please." Some doubted whether they had heard the announcement correctly.

"Yes Futian?" Qin Yi was next to his teacher. He repeated the name, looking dumbfounded. No one thought that his name would appear on the Qualification List. They thought he would not do well enough to even reach that level. It was amazing that he had performed so well that he made it onto the Featured List.

Ling Xiao's face turned to stone. He believed Ye Futian would soon be expelled from the academy, and had prepared an embarrassing long speech for Ye Futian. But now, Ye Futian was number one. How did that happen?

Feng Qingxue was so amazed that she could not speak. His eyes moved slowly from the teacher announcing the list to where Ye Futian was sitting.

Ye Futian sat in his place quietly. The smile on his face was the same as usual, calm and relaxed. It seemed like he knew he deserved this honor, and there was nothing surprising to him about the outcome. He really has a strong belief.

Could it be that the last three years that were missed only made this moment more glorious?

Hua Jieyu sat next to Ye Futian. He was observing this boy with his beautiful eyes. This brat had broken his record, but he did not seem to be too disappointed; his face did not show the bitterness like the one on Yang Xiu and Murong Qiu's faces. Instead, Hua Jieyu felt curious and surprised.

His father had told him that Ye Futian was as talented as he was. At first he refused to admit it. In fact, he was already looking forward to this Autumn Quarter Assessment, as Ye Futian would not be able to hide his talent anymore. He wanted to know why his father broke his rules and accepted him as his disciple. He was quite surprised by the result.

"Surely something is wrong," shouted someone suddenly. All eyes were suddenly fixed on the person who was shouting. That person was Yang Xiu, who was standing in front of Ye Futian.

It was already disappointing enough to be in third place on the Featured List, but it was even more embarrassing to see that it was Ye Futian who had made all of this happen. He had humiliated Ye Futian moments before the list was announced. How did this happen? Does he make himself look like a fool?

"What's the problem, Yang Xiu?" the teacher looked at him.

Yang Xiu paused for a moment, then glanced at Ye Futian with contempt. "He was sitting next to Hua Jieyu. He must have cheated to get that value."

"Yes, plagiarism, definitely it is," Ling Xiao followed suit. Many others seem to agree on this plausible explanation.

"Who do you think we are? Professor or just a bunch of blind old people?" Those words were like cold water being thrown right into their faces. The exam papers of the top three rankings have gone through rigorous review from several professors. How could plagiarism be unknown to them?

Ye Futian slowly tapped on the table with his fingers. He seemed relaxed, he believed that all doubts would be silenced by the truth.

"Professors are all respectable people, everyone has a different view. I cannot accept the fact that I am listed as number three and that Ye Futian is number one because you guys prefer his point of view." Yang Xiu was really agitated. He tried hard to pull Ye Futian off his throne.

The Professors looked at Yang Xiu with disappointment. It seemed like this disciple was less able to accept failure. Without ever experiencing failure, even a talented student like Yang Xiu could never make significant achievements in the future.

Ye Futian looked at Yang Xiu. He was so persistent, even when that persistence only embarrassed him.
