"Is he stronger than me?" he asked unwillingly in a calm voice.
Among the ten students, Nie Teng, Ouyang Xiu, and Xiao Yihan all glanced at him when they heard this. The first two did not speak, but their eyes were filled with contempt and disdain, while Xiao Yihan sneered when he heard it.
"Don't you know that she is stronger than you? If she wasn't stronger, you wouldn't have been squeezed out."
As for Fengjiu, she stood beside Ye Jing as if it had nothing to do with her. The two of them were whispering, and no one knew what they were talking about.
Hearing Xiao Yihan's words, the student surnamed Geng pursed his lips, obviously not believing it. Then, he set his eyes on Feng Jiu who was wearing the uniform of the spiritual academy: "Feng Jiu, do you dare to compete with me? If I lose, I will admit defeat! Otherwise, I will never let you go!"
Seeing him shouting at her by name, Feng Jiu sighed inwardly, glanced at him, and said, "But, you are really not my opponent. I really feel embarrassed to fight with someone weaker than me."
Upon hearing this, the student named Geng's face darkened: "You!"
"Alright! Enough of your nonsense!" the deputy dean shouted in a deep voice, and swept a sharp gaze towards the student named Geng: "You are no match for him. Our decision was made after discussion. We have our own sense of propriety in letting him replace you! Besides, he was already a foundation-building cultivator last year. Do you think that a great spiritual master like you can be a match for a foundation-building cultivator?"
Hearing this, the student named Geng was dumbfounded. A foundation-building cultivator? Feng Jiu? He had already built his foundation? How, how was this possible
Not only him, but also the other students around him were stunned, some of them couldn't believe it. After all, he just came in last year, how could he have already established his foundation last year? How could they have never heard of it? If this was true, the confidentiality work was too good, right
"Well, I can testify that Fengjiu is indeed a foundation-building cultivator. Not to mention you, even I am no match for her." Ye Jing said. He was ranked fifth among the top ten. Even if he was stronger than that Geng, he was still no match for Fengjiu, let alone him.
When the student named Geng heard this, he was stunned and speechless for a long time. He just stared at Fengjiu blankly.
"Okay, let's go! Don't waste time." The deputy dean said, and walked out.
This time, he stood there and watched, but did not open his mouth to protest. No matter how arrogant he was, no matter how much he did not want to admit it, he knew that if the deputy dean and Ye Jing said so, then it was most likely true.
Everyone watched them walk out and followed them to the entrance of the academy to see them off. When they got outside, the deputy dean waved his sleeves and a spaceship appeared in front of them.
"Everyone get on the spaceship." The deputy dean said, asking everyone to get on first.
The ten people who were selected, in addition to being the top ten in the academy, also had distinguished family backgrounds. Naturally, they did not find the spaceship new, so they walked up one by one with calm expressions.
Finally, the two instructors, the deputy dean, and Mo Chen boarded the spaceship together. As the spaceship floated off the ground and went into the sky, the people who were watching outside the door came to their senses after a long time. They looked at the spaceship disappearing in the clouds with envy and turned back to the academy.
In time, they will definitely be able to go to a second-class country, or even a first-class country, and enter a one-star academy!
