Chapter 428 - Do You Dare to Have a Match
Shen Yanxiao’s challenge against Luo Fan and Shangguan Xiao was immediately spread throughout the Saint Laurent Academy. Almost everyone knew that the first-year little kid who had once defeated the top student of the Herbalist Division was back!
The Herbalist Division was in an uproar. They had been long-oppressed by Luo Fan and his fellow students from the Blue Moon Dynasty, and they finally found an outlet to vent their frustrations. Almost all students secretly cheered for Shen Yanxiao.
At that moment, students from different years in the division all regarded Shen Yanxiao as a representative from their division.
After she issued the challenge, Shen Yanxiao could not be bothered about the two idiots with an odd expression on their faces, and so she turned to leave. Then she made her way toward the casino.
Luo Fan and Shangguan Xiao had also left the library soon after her departure. It looked like they were in a discussion about their countermeasures for the competition.
When Luo De heard about the news, Shen Yanxiao had already gone back to the casino. As a result, Luo De had not been able to capture that little brat.
Since he could not find Shen Yanxiao, Luo De had no choice but to seek Ye Qing in the upper levels of the library.
“Great Master Ye Qing, please discourage Shen Jue from continuing with the competition. It is too risky.” Luo De could not believe it when he heard about the challenge that Shen Jue had issued.
No one in the Brilliance Continent had ever used detrimental potions as the basis of competition before that.
All herbalists had a much weaker physique than those from other professions. If they were to consume a potion with detrimental effects, no one could predict the harm to their bodies. The potion might destroy their sense of smell, taste, and vision too. If the damages were permanent, the losses could send the herbalist to a downward spiral.
The human’s five senses were crucial to an herbalist, especially when they needed to prepare potions.
Due to their weak physique, an herbalist would not be able to withstand any detrimental effects from a potion.
Luo De believed Shen Jue had gone crazy. He knew that the reason Shen Jue had done that must have been related to Tang Nazhi’s recent expulsion from the Saint Laurent Academy.
Even though Luo De wanted to help Tang Nazhi when he had been framed, he could not go against Pu Lisi. So he felt quite guilty about that.
He could no longer stand at the side and allow Shen Jue to continue to take extreme and stupid measures in his quest for revenge.
However, Ye Qing had remained calm when he heard about the competition from Luo De. He could only sigh and said, “Even though Shen Jue is a friendly person, he could also be stubborn with his opinions. Since he had issued the challenge publicly, there is no changing his mind now.”
Even though he had not had much interaction with Shen Yanxiao, Ye Qing knew her personality well.
“Shen Jue is similar to a sleeping dragon, gentle and harmless on normal occasions. However, if someone were to cross him, then that sleeping dragon would wake up and soar toward the horizon, and use the most extreme method to retaliate against the culprits.” Ye Qing looked up to the sky outside the window.
“But… that is too much of a risk! Furthermore, Luo Fan is already an Advanced Herbalist!” Luo De was still worried, and he wanted to do something lest a gifted student was destroyed.
Ye Qing shook his head and said, “You’re not understanding me. Forget it. When tomorrow comes, you’ll know that your worries have been for nothing.”
