Chapter 740: The New Martial God of The An Clan
How could she say such things when dozens of top-tier talents from different states were still around?
An Qinghan looked at Ye Guan calmly, her expression conveying to everyone that she was serious.
Even Ye Guan was a little surprised. He never would have thought that she would want to take everyone on alone.
Is this arrogance or confidence?
Ye Guan smiled faintly. "Are you sure?"
An Qinghan nodded.
"Academy Master, this is against protocol," Zhao Su interjected.
Ye Guan replied, "We\'re the ones who made the rules. I say they can be subject to flexibility."
Zhao Su hesitated momentarily but ultimately remained silent.
Ye Guan looked at the talented students behind An Qinghan. "What do you all think?"
Nan Feng of Nanzhou slowly stepped forward. After greeting Ye Guan, he said, "Academy Master, I am willing to fight with Lady An."
"Okay," An Qinghan calmly answered.
"You two may begin, then," Ye Guan acknowledged.
At his signal, the others retreated to the back, creating a large arena for the fight between Qingzhou and Nanzhou!
The excitement among the spectators, who were from hundreds of different states, was buzzing in the air.
The last time Qingzhou and Nanzhou had fought was at least six years ago. During that fight, Ye Guan battled against the talent of the An Clan, handing them their first defeat in a thousand years.
Today, history seemed to be repeating itself. The Qingzhou members braced themselves as they faced Nanzhou once more.
Nan Feng locked eyes with An Qinghan and cupped his fists to greet her. "I look forward to our fight."
Right after, he stomped on the ground with his right foot.
Bam!
An explosion of energy suddenly shot out from the arena, followed immediately by a fist light aimed at An Qinghan.
An Qinghan slowly closed her eyes. When the fist light closed the gap to a mere few inches, she disappeared like a ghost. Before anyone could react, Nan Feng was sent flying dozens of feet away!
As soon as Nan Feng came to a stop, An Qinghan appeared beside him, causing his expression to change dramatically. When he tried to retaliate, her fist connected with his chest.
Bam!
Nan Feng was instantly knocked out a hundred feet away again, stunning him.
No longer able to afford to hold back, he immediately took a deep breath and channeled energy into his dantian. Using his cultivation method, he made his right arm burst into flames. He then threw a straight punch, unleashing tremendous power.
Boom!
A wave of fire, spanning nearly a hundred feet, rushed toward An Qinghan.
She looked at the wave of fire from afar, her face devoid of any emotion. With a light tap with her right foot, she shot forward like a meteor.
"Chasing Stars," Little Pagod commented in Ye Guan\'s mind.
Bang!
The wave of fire shattered. At the same time, Nan Feng was blown away by hundreds of feet once more before finally falling heavily to the ground. The ground below him collapsed, sending debris into the air.
He had been defeated!
The crowd grew deathly silent, unable to believe that the Nanzhou representative had been defeated so easily.
Nanzhou\'s Guanxuan Academy students looked at An Qinghan in shock.
Meanwhile, the students from Qingzhou stirred with excitement.
Since Qingzhou had been eliminated early in the last martial contest, they had already lowered their hopes and expectations. However, to their surprise, This time, a member of the An Clan, an ancient family of Martial Gods, had just risen to the top!
An Qinghan looked at the students in the field. "Come at me all at once. I\'m serious."
At the same time, she unleashed terrifying Intent, making everyone in front of her retreat unknowingly.
On the viewing platform above them, everyone except for Ye Guan and Nalan Jia stood up.
“That\'s the Will of a Martial God!"
Zhao Su stared at An Qinghan with eyes full of shock.
The others were just as appalled.
Did the An Clan produce another Martial God?
Zhao Su had a bitter look on her face.
The An Clan was simply too remarkable.
Three Martial Gods in one family?
Everyone felt confused. They thought that the previous incident had made the An Clan more subdued. On the contrary, however, they had instead produced another Martial God.
The An Clan seemed to have found a way to redeem themselves!
According to proper procedure, the Martial God would have to be sent to the Main Guanxuan Academy to train vigorously.
Of course, this depended on Ye Guan. If he held grudges against the An Clan or showed even the slightest discontentment with them, the An Clan would be doomed.
Before the Academy Master, a Martial God who had not yet fully grown carried no weight at all.
Hence, the people turned to Ye Guan.
Aware that everyone was looking at him, Ye Guan shook his head and smiled. Although he knew what everyone was thinking, he did not say anything. Instead, he simply looked at the people behind An Qinghan.
"She wants to fight everyone on her own. Do you accept her challenge?" he asked.
The crowd remained silent.
A group battle?
Frankly, they were not too keen on it. If they were to win, it would be meaningless. On the other hand, they wouldn\'t stand a chance against her—a Martial God—if they did not work together.
Everyone saw how easily she defeated the representative of Nanzhou.
At that moment, Li Yu, the Upper Realm\'s representative, slowly stepped forward and looked at An Qinghan. "I look forward to our fight."
Right after, he rushed toward An Qinghan. In response, An Qinghan disappeared and fired a beam of star light across the arena.
Boom!
Before anyone could react, Li Yu was blasted a hundred feet away, the ground beneath him falling in the moment he landed. Split open, his blood splattered around him.
He had just been defeated!
Everyone fell silent.
"Chasing Moon." Little Pagoda told Ye Guan telepathically.
"Master Pagoda...?”
"That was Mistress Jing\'s famous technique, which was later passed to Little Mistress Xiu. I never thought I would get to see it again," Little Pagoda whispered.
Somewhat surprised, Ye Guan looked at An Qinghan. She truly had the Will of a Martial God.
Everyone from Qingzhou erupted in cheer.
Martial God! The An Clan had produced another Martial God!
Furthermore, she had just effortlessly defeated the representatives of the Upper Realm and Nanzhou.
She now stands at the top! There\'s no doubt about it!
After six years, Qingzhou had finally reclaimed its honor.
Many people cried tears of joy. She had become the pride of Qingzhou.
Meanwhile, all the other students remained silent, a look of resignation on their faces.
They knew that they had no hope left. Qingzhou had reclaimed the top spot.
On the viewing platform, Song Fu now wore an unreadable expression. He thought that with Ye Guan present, Nanzhou would perform better. Unfortunately, he did not expect the An Clan to bring in a Martial God as their representative. She crushed the Upper Realm and Nanzhou representatives with her terrifying strength.
The An Clan was truly undefeatable!
Ye Guan slowly walked toward An Qinghan, causing all eyes to fall on him. Even the students from Qingzhou had stopped celebrating to look at him anxiously.
It was only natural that they were nervous. After all, the An Clan had almost killed Ye Guan before. Many young talents targeted him and almost beat him to death when he came to Qingzhou, specifically the Qingzhou Academy.
Although An Qinghan had claimed first place, if Ye Guan refused to acknowledge it, then her achievement would be meaningless. After all, the Guanxuan Academy, which belonged to Ye Guan, held the final decision of the martial contest.
An Qinghan looked at Ye Guan in silence.
Though her expression was calm, she unconsciously clenched her fists.
An Qinghan was well aware of the things that had happened between Ye Guan and the An Clan. However, at the time, she was still young and was not part of the main family. Hence, she was not qualified to participate in most of the family matters. All she knew was that after that incident, the An Clan\'s status had fallen greatly and everything had changed.
Upon reaching her, Ye Guan smiled. "Congratulations."
‘Congratulations’?
The people of Qingzhou heaved a sigh of relief, and An Qinghan\'s fists loosened.
Ye Guan looked at the students behind An Qinghan. "Does anyone else want to challenge An Qinghan?"
No one spoke up. Only a fool would dare fight her now.
With everyone opting not to humiliate themselves, Ye Guan nodded. He then opened his hand and sent a storage ring flying toward An Qinghan, making the audience go crazy.
The ring contained an Ancestral Vein!
Zhao Su and the others looked at Ye Guan in disbelief. It was an incredibly generous gift.
Even An Qinghan was shocked. She did not expect the Academy Master to give her an Ancestral Vein!
The An Clan was still poor due to the incident that happened years ago. Their businesses had shrunk, and they were living very frugally. Ye Guan becoming the Academy Master only made their members even more worried. After all, they couldn\'t help but fear that he would take revenge. Scared of that possibility, the other clans and states refused to work closely with the An Clan, which only worsened the An Clan\'s situation through the years.
However, today, Ye Guan had just shown the world that he was letting bygones be bygones. Ye Guan never had any intention of blaming the An Clan in the first place.
As a result of his actions, countless forces behind the scenes were now planning to woo the An Clan to work with them. After all, it would be great if they could collaborate with the new Martial God!
An Qinghan looked at the storage ring, feeling a little overwhelmed. Ancestral Veins were incredibly important. She couldn\'t even get her hands on Ancestral Origin strands, much less Ancestral Veins.
"Is it not enough?" Ye Guan joked.
An Qinghan hurriedly shook her head. "No... That\'s not it..."
Ye Guan could not help but laugh at how flustered she was. The youth\'s calmness certainly was just a facade. Still, it was very commendable that they could maintain their composure.
Nalan Jia walked over too. She opened her hand, sending a scroll floating toward An Qinghan.
"That\'s the Martial Arts Manual, researched by the people of the Martial Court. It should prove helpful to you."
"This is..." An Qinghan couldn\'t find the right words to express herself.
"We wish to visit the An Clan. Can you guide us?" Ye Guan asked.
An Qinghan was stunned.
Visit the An Clan?
