My Sexy Female CEO

Chapter 1617 76: Academy Hero

For the first time in her life, Princess Qingyan saw such an extraordinary man. At that moment of instant annihilation, Lin Yifan was truly dazzling; if she and Lin Yifan didn't have deep-seated grievances, she would definitely fall in love with him.

"You lost!"

Lin Yifan mercilessly announced the news.

After being dumbfounded for a moment, the Fourth Prince of Jiufu Country smiled wryly and accepted the result.

"To fight against a strong opponent like you, it's a great honor in this lifetime."

"The feeling is mutual!"

Lin Yifan sheathed his sword, ending the match.

Upon seeing this, the referee asked repeatedly.

"Is there anyone else who wants to come up and challenge?"

"Is there anyone else who wants to come up and challenge?"

"One last time, is there anyone who wants to come up and challenge?"

The academy students looked at each other, realizing that there was no one left unchallenged, so they all followed the rules and no longer stepped forward.

After waiting for half a minute, still no one came up to challenge, and the referee happily announced the match result: "I declare that the ultimate winner of the Arts Competition of the Six Academies is Zhang Fei from Tianchui Academy!"

"Hooray!"

The side of Tianchui Academy was cheering and extremely excited.

This was the honor they had long lost and finally regained this year.

"Junior Brother Zhang, you're awesome!"

"Junior Brother Zhang, I love you!"

"Junior Brother Zhang, you are the best!"

...

In an instant, Lin Yifan received many confessions from senior sisters, leaving him at a loss.

In fact, he was not fighting for Tianchui Academy, but for the Female Earth Bead. He wanted to take the Female Earth Bead and collect the Constellation Beads of the five attributes: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.

With these five Constellation Beads, he could set up the Five Elements Formation, gaining another ace up his sleeve.

"This talent is rare in a millennium; where on earth did Tianchui Academy find such a treasure, or perhaps where did they buy it from?"

The big personalities from the other five academies were very puzzled.

It was evident that Lin Yifan was definitely not an authentic disciple of Tianchui Academy, and what Princess Qingyan had just said in the arena also confirmed this point; thus, they thought Lin Yifan was hired by Tianchui Academy from a great Sect, a large organization, or a big personality to secure the Female Earth Bead.

"This, we don't know either."

"I noticed his interaction with the Seventh Princess of Yuncui Kingdom was quite ambiguous, I wonder if he's aiming for the position of a Prince Consort of a country."

"Someone with his aptitude shouldn't have such shortsighted goals!"

"I think so too."

...

All the big personalities of each academy debated endlessly, unsure whether Lin Yifan voluntarily joined Tianchui Academy or was bought in.

However, one thing was certain: they would have no chance with the Female Earth Bead.

Thus, in the upcoming Alchemy Competition and Array Competition, they probably wouldn't be as competitive.

Lin Yifan basked in endless praise and applause, enjoying supreme honor.

Tianchui Academy regarded him as a Savior, holding him high, while other academies saw him as the most talented among the younger generation.

Without a doubt, he became the center of attention, with everyone knowing who he was.

Princess Xinting felt gratified that Lin Yifan stood tall until the end, securing the Female Earth Bead for Yuncui Kingdom; if Lin Yifan were to win all the competitions ultimately, this Female Earth Bead would rightfully belong to him.

Princess Qingyan felt a mix of emotions; Lin Yifan became the Savior of Yuncui Kingdom, making it even harder to take him down; moreover, she truly had no idea about Lin Yifan's background; if Lin Yifan had a strong backing, it would be even more frightening, and she couldn't act against him.

This speculation wasn't without reason.

Someone who dares disrespect the Emperor of Qiuyu Country must either have a problem with their mind or possess a powerful backing; considering her numerous encounters with Lin Yifan, she believed the latter more.

However, fear didn't mean she wouldn't seek revenge; if given a chance, she would still make her move.

With honor and glory in tow, Lin Yifan stepped down to rest, awaiting the start of the next competition.

The next competition was the Alchemy Competition, which had a different format compared to the Arts Competition.

This was because the Alchemy Level and Realm weren't closely tied, even someone with the Superior Immortal Fifth Realm might only have a First Grade, while a small cultivator of the Superior Immortal First Realm might have a Third Grade; thus, under such disparity, the competition adopted a unified format.

However, due to the large number of participants, it was divided into three groups. The top thirty in each group would enter the final competition.

Lin Yifan was placed in the third group, which was a bit disadvantageous because immediately after the third group's competition, the final would begin, surely consuming a lot of spiritual power and physical strength.

However, he wasn't afraid because he believed he had the ability to win the competition.

As the hero of the academy, as soon as he stepped down, he was surrounded and hailed by the senior brothers and sisters of Tianchui Academy.

There was no end to the cheers and eager touches from the crowd.

Lin Yifan was truly startled; it was the first time he experienced such a scene since coming to this world and was a bit at a loss.

Progress was difficult, being taken advantage of in all sorts of ways, he could no longer bear it and advised: "All senior brothers and sisters, please disperse and prepare for the next competition."

"We won the Arts Competition, who would care about the coming competitions?"

"It can't be said like that, it's essential to spar and see where one stands, it helps identify one's weaknesses." Lin Yifan continued to persuade.

"We don't care about anything else; we just want to cheer for you."

"Ahem!"

At the sound of a cough, the clustered crowd turned to see Princess Xinting behind them and immediately dispersed, dare not cling to Lin Yifan anymore.

Everyone knew that Princess Xinting had a thing for Junior Brother Zhang, and since Junior Brother Zhang was on her side, they dared not offend her.

Lin Yifan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, finally driving away the crowd.

"Junior Brother Zhang, congratulations!"

Princess Xinting walked over to express her congratulations to Lin Yifan.

"Thank you!" Lin Yifan replied flatly, not having much of a reaction.

Princess Xinting ignored it and continued to ask, "Was that the trump card you prepared yesterday?"

The martial arts Lin Yifan just displayed were something she had never seen him use before, so she didn't know if it was something he prepared yesterday, considering he mentioned preparing well for today's competition when she visited him the day before.

"What do you think?" Lin Yifan didn't answer directly but didn't deny it either.

"Where did you learn those martial arts? Could you teach me a move or two?"

"It's my Master's Unique Martial Arts, never disclosed, so apologies."

"Ah! That's a pity!"

Princess Xinting shook her head in disappointment, filled with regret.

But there was nothing she could do; she couldn't force Lin Yifan to yield.

After the Arts Competition, there was a break period, during which many people in the venue went to the rest area to rest, relieve themselves, or take pills to replenish their spiritual power in preparation for the next competition.
