Legend of Ye Futian

Trapped fox

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Ye Futian and Yang Xiu. Another one of the elders of Qingzhou Academy walked up on the stage and asked Yang Xiu, "Could it be that you want to assess the exam yourself?"

"I wouldn't dare to have such a thought." Yang Xiu shook his head. "I just want to know why he scored higher than me, what was less than me?"

The elders of Qingzhou Academy sat speechless. Finally, one of them nodded and said, "Alright. Since you have doubts, then we'll tell you why."

All the students and everyone observing from the stands remained silent. They were also curious, what kind of answer did Ye Futian give to surpass Yang Xiu?

"First question: During the battle between the knight and the magician, the Witch's Spiritual Qi Element was exhausted. If you were a knight, what would you do? What if you were a witch? How do you answer this question?" the elder asked Yang Xiu.

Yang Xiu's eyes lit up as he replied confidently, "If I am a knight, I will continue my attack until the Witch's Spiritual Qi is exhausted, and end it with a final blow. If I were a magician, I would try to find a weak point and attack my opponent at full strength once the opportunity arises."

Many people started to nod. To them, Yang Xiu's response was reasonable, many people would answer the same thing. So which part is wrong?

Even the VIP guests on stage were interested. This question is given to test students' ability to adapt to emergency situations. In their eyes, Yang Xiu's answer was not bad. How would Ye Futian answer this question?

"Ye Futian, please tell us your answer." The elder looked at Ye Futian. Now it was his turn to speak, he stood up and looked at Yang Xiu. He then said, "If I were a knight, I wouldn't give my opponent a chance to attack. I will attack continuously until he loses. If I am in the position of a witch and possess the Wind Element, then I will escape. If I were a magician of another element, I would pretend to be out of steam. If necessary, I will even take a blow from the attack and then when they are off guard, I will strike with the last remaining force."

"Why are you responding in this way?" ask elder.

"In the battle between the two, if the knight can drain the magician's power, then that means his level of power may already be stronger. Under the continuous attacks, the only person who made a mistake was a witch. The mistake in Yang Xiu's answer was that if the magician could find the weakness of the knight, then he would have done so from the beginning of the fight. If you want your opponent to lose, you have to pay the price, "Ye Futian replied slowly. After hearing this smooth answer, Yang Xiu's face paled.

Everyone on the stage started to nod in agreement. When compared, there really was a huge difference between the answers of the two.

The elder nodded as well, then turned to look at Yang Xiu again. "Last question: In a group battle between martial arts cultivators and witches, who would win? How do you answer this question?"

"It would be difficult to determine the outcome if everyone was in the initial few Planes of Awakening. If everyone was on the higher Plane and if both sides were equal in number, of course, the magicians would win." Yang Xiu did not falter in answering him. He himself was a magician, so he believed that witches were better than martial arts experts. He's very arrogant.

"Ye Futian, and your answer?" ask the elder.

"At the Awakening level, martial arts cultivators have a higher chance of winning, when above this level, witches will have a higher chance," he replied calmly.

"ridiculous. How could martial arts cultivators win against witches, even at the Awakening level? Moreover, witches did not have a 'higher' chance at a higher level; they would gain a crushing victory, no one could argue against that," Yang Xiu said in a cold tone.

"Explain to him," the elder made his request to Ye Futian.

Ye Futian looked at Yang Xiu and asked, "Between martial arts cultivators and witches, who has better strength, stamina, and speed?"

"Indeed, it is the weakness of a magician, but martial arts cultivators won't even be able to get close to witches." Yang Xiu looked at Ye Futian.

"At the Awakening level, the witches could not cast their spells remotely. If martial arts cultivators chose to surround them without attacking, what would you do?"

"That's a stupid question. I will obviously choose to attack first. Even in the Awakening Plane, witches had stronger attacks," Yang Xiu said.

"You attack, I retreat. You retreat, I surround you," Ye Futian said.

His words made many honored guests feel goosebumps. He was able to calmly state his battle plan. If the one who said this was someone with a lot of battle experience, no one would be surprised, but these words came from an inexperienced youngster who was still studying in the academy. This is what makes it so impressive. His battle tactics showed his detailed understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of martial expert cultivators and magicians, and he could incorporate this knowledge into his plan.

The tactics are very passive-aggressive. Martial arts cultivators were indeed stronger, had better stamina, and were faster than magicians. Witches within the Awakening Plane were unable to attack from afar, so all martial arts cultivators had to do was wait for the witches to drain their own power.

"You've said to ignore the first few Planes of Awakening. After the magicians reach the sixth Plane, the Invincible Plane, they must focus on learning to control their elemental spiritual power as well as other spiritual powers between Heaven and Earth. They would have to focus on magic training, as the amount of energy they could use for improvement was extremely limited. The martial arts cultivators, on the other hand, did not have this problem. The situation that you mentioned right now is close to the cultivation of the two arts," Ye Futian slowly explained," Although the cultivators in the two groups do not have much difference in the Awakening Plane, there is no difference, the comparison still exists. Of course, it would be very beneficial to cultivate in martial arts and magic arts. "

"That's enough," the elder spoke once more. "As for the reason behind why it's possible for a martial arts cultivator to win at a higher level, we'll let Kelian think about it for himself. Remember, understanding yourself and others is the key to victory. The strong are strong, regardless of what art they develop. Yang Xiu, if we put you up against Ye Futian in a fight under a fair situation, you will be doomed to lose."

Since the start of Qingzhou Academy, the Spring and Autumn Quarter Assessment always included a written test. These children did not have any actual combat experience, so the most important thing to do was carve basic knowledge into their brains.

"Destined lose?" Yang Xiu was now in a gloomy mood. He then raised his head towards the elder and said, "I admit my defeat."

The elder looked at Yang Xiu and knew he had yet to accept this reality. It is not easy to change the mind of a young man.

"The Autumn Quarter Written Assessment will end here for today, the most important part of the exam will be continued tomorrow," said an elder. Students began to stand up one by one, wanting to go up on stage and greet the VIP guests.

This was the end of the written examination of this quarter, however, the students were still not satisfied with their feelings. Countless eyes were fixed on Ye Futian. For the past three years, he had been ridiculed several times for being a legendary loser, but now he had completely shocked everyone. Who would have believed that he could rank first on his first written test?

Yang Xiu turned to face Ye Futian. He said coldly, "I will retract what I told you before. I think you've learned a lot in those three years that you wasted. But even if that was the case, everything written on paper was useless. There's no point in having all this knowledge if you're not physically capable. Without strength, it would be as easy as stepping on an ant to defeat you. "

"Are you trying to make yourself feel better after all that shame? How humiliating. Do you want me to step on you like an ant?" Yu Sheng stood up, his huge body shadowing Yang Xiu. It's enough to strangle someone. In the blink of an eye, Yang Xiu's expression looked even worse than before. Of course, he had heard the news about Yu Sheng.

This psychopath smashed all the teeth of a senior brother two years ago just because that person insulted Ye Futian. After punching his teeth, Yu Sheng lifted his collar and threw it outside the academy gate. Since then, no one dared to insult Ye Futian before him.

Although many people had forgotten about this incident in the passing years, Yang Xiu still remembered it. He curled up in front of Yu Sheng.

"DAD!" The loud cry from Yu Sheng frightened Yang Xiu. He quickly looked at Ye Futian and said, "See you tomorrow."

Before leaving, he did not forget to look at Hua Jieyu, who had remained seated beside Ye Futian for all the 'dramas' just happened.

He could not believe that he was made to look like a fool in front of the girl. His mood soured when he thought that.

Ye Futian just smiled, not saying anything. Ye Futian could not help but smile sarcastically when he thought of all the things Ling Xiao had said to him earlier.

Just one smile was enough for Ling Xiao to know that Ye Futian was mocking him.

Ling Xiao's fist was clenched as he stared at Ye Futian. "Three years, you're pretty good at hiding secrets. Even though you haven't progressed at all, you've gained quite a bit of knowledge from smart books. But this doesn't change anything. Even if you get first place today, you'll be back to loser status tomorrow. You still have a chance to get kicked out. Can you imagine how interesting that is?"

"Idiot." One word from Ye Futian was enough to remove the grin on Ling Xiao's face. He recalled the last time Ye Futian insulted him in class. That scoundrel.

Ye Futian looked around. He's full of pride. He just got first place. There were already many people who looked at him more cruelly than before. There were even some people who could not look him in the eye.

At this moment, Hua Jieyu rose up slowly from his seat beside her. As he walked towards the exit, Ye Futian noticed him. Hua Jieyu took a few steps and suddenly turned around with a smile. Nothing could compare to her beauty at that second.

"I look forward to your performance tomorrow." He smiled broadly. The gazes of the people froze looking at his smile, their hearts melted. However, this smile was not for them, but for Ye Futian.

Her smile imprinted on everyone's minds, Hua Jieyu once again turned to leave. Ye Futian blinked and quickly realized that people were as if shooting daggers at him with their gazes. Those who did not dare to look into his eyes a few minutes ago were now looking at him hatefully. Everyone seems to be running out of patience.

After seeing all those gazes, Ye Futian could imagine what awaited him tomorrow. In that split second, Ye Futian finally understood the purpose of Hua Jieyu's smile.. He could not help himself and cursed him in his mind. "The fox set me up!"
