Invincible Little School Doctor Chapter 2298: You Have Already Lost

Ye Haochuan has an excellent memory; even though he only glanced at it once, he has already memorized all the names on the Qingfeng List. This Tang An ranks ninety-ninth, at the very bottom of the list.

Those who can make it onto the Qingfeng List are geniuses among geniuses, and Tang An is naturally no exception.

Encountering a formidable foe in the first match, Ye Haochuan could only lament his extraordinary misfortune.

On the other side, Tang An had already swaggered onto the stage, glancing over the crowd and impatiently said, "Who is Ye Yichuan? Come up here and meet your death!"

As an expert on the Qingfeng List, upon hearing the opponent’s nondescript name, he was already convinced of his victory, so he appeared extremely relaxed.

Ye Haochuan shook his head with a smile, slowly walking to the square’s center.

Tang An glanced at Ye Haochuan and instantly sensed his aura, which was only at the True Immortal Early Stage, and immediately wore a look of disinterest.

"A mere ant at True Immortal Early Stage, let me tell you, kid, you better concede defeat, don’t waste this young master’s time!"

The selection meeting did not have level restrictions, so many clan leaders brought their sons and daughters to make an appearance before reaching True Immortal, though nobody believes they stand a chance to join the South Sect.

In Ye Hongmao’s categorization, Ye Haochuan was evidently of this type.

Actually, he was unaware that the Temple also took this into account, allowing weaker individuals to face strong opponents in the first round, thus preventing them from advancing by luck and wasting everyone’s time.

Due to this reason, Ye Haochuan was facing off against Tang An, who was considered a master, in the first round.

Not only Tang An, but all the spectators around believed Ye Haochuan had no chance of winning; perhaps conceding could spare him some pain.

Only Tang Yucheng seemed unfazed; instead, he looked at the arena with bright anticipation.

Ye Haochuan ignored Tang An, walked to his battle position, took out the Halberd of Heaven and Earth, and calmly stared at Tang An.

Seeing his words directly ignored by Ye Haochuan, Tang An instantly became infuriated, snorting coldly: "Stupid ant, dare to posture in front of this young master, courting death!"

Then, he held a sword with one hand and charged straight towards Ye Haochuan.

Anyone with clear vision could see that he wasn’t using much strength in this strike, probably just aiming to humiliate Ye Haochuan, showing the unbridgeable gap between them.

Ye Haochuan of course knew Tang An’s intention, that he wanted to show everyone he could easily defeat him with a casual strike.

In response, Ye Haochuan felt pleased rather than angry; his Halberd of Heaven and Earth poised like a lurking viper, ready to attack.

In the blink of an eye, Tang An’s sword was closing in.

He wasn’t entirely foolish; this strike used ten percent of his strength, equivalent to a True Immortal Mid-Stage cultivator’s strike. He believed at this level, he could easily conquer Ye Haochuan.

Seeing Ye Haochuan standing still without moving, he already smirked: "Fool, weren’t you arrogant just now? Now you’re stunned? This time, this young master will certainly teach you a lesson."

Just as he thought, Ye Haochuan suddenly moved.

The Halberd of Heaven and Earth thrust out like an attacking snake, at a tricky angle, slicing through the air with a piercing sound.

Tang An didn’t care, thinking what skill could a True Immortal Early Stage cultivator have; this halberd surely appeared formidable but was probably unimpressive in power.

In the blink of an eye, the halberd struck his longsword.

Tang An immediately felt a strong force coming, nearly causing his sword to fly out of his hand.

"Not good, I was careless!" Tang An suddenly realized, wanting to deploy defensive measures.

But he had been too overconfident earlier; with no defensive tactics at all, he could only forcibly halt his advance and quickly retreat.

After stepping back several paces, he stabilized himself, a trace of anger flashing in his eyes.

Facing a True Immortal Early Stage ant, he hadn’t managed to land a hit, and was even forced to retreat in disgrace, which was simply humiliating.

"Die!" Tang An yelled as battle intent surged up, glaring at Ye Haochuan, seemingly ready to devour him whole.

Ye Haochuan’s mouth twitched into a smile, he retracted his halberd, wiped the blade’s traces of blood, and said calmly: "You’ve already lost!"

"What nonsense; I was just careless just now, and hardly used any strength, that’s how you blocked me, do you really think you’ve won?"

With that, he didn’t wait for Ye Haochuan’s reply, immediately brandishing his sword and rushing forward.

Halfway through his charge, he heard a cold humph, followed by an immensely powerful pressure rolling in, instantly blowing him away dozens of meters, landing at the square’s edge.

Chen Man’s figure, unnoticed earlier, appeared on the arena, glanced coldly at Tang An, and said, "If he hadn’t retracted that halberd just in time, you would be a corpse by now."

Tang An bewilderedly got up, subconsciously touched his throat, and found indeed a shallow wound, bleeding.

His face turned iron blue, shouting at Ye Haochuan: "You brat, I was careless, dare to fight fairly again?"

Chen Man heard this, did not intervene, but looked at Ye Haochuan, seemingly curious about what decision the "lucky" victor would make.

Ye Haochuan, full of impatience, retracted the Halberd of Heaven and Earth and walked toward the arena’s perimeter.

No word of sarcasm, yet silence spoke volumes, making Tang An feel unprecedented humiliation; if not for Chen Man standing there, he would have charged to break Ye Haochuan’s bones into pieces.

"You brat, once you come down, I’ll make you suffer!" leaving a harsh word behind, Tang An angrily walked off the arena.

On the stage, Chen Man looked at Ye Haochuan with interest, then disappeared instantly, reappearing at the arena’s edge.

The South Sect’s selection meeting’s rules, like Chen Man’s words, are streamlined; winners advance, losers are directly eliminated.

Being eliminated in the first round, this was a humiliation Tang An had never faced in his life.

Ye Haochuan seemed to not hear; his steps unhurried, slowly returning to his spot.

Tang Yucheng looked at him discontentedly, saying: "Originally, I thought it would be a spectacular battle, but who knew that guy was such a poser; it was just bland."

This guy truly doesn’t feel pain when talking!

Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

Fierce battles indeed are exhilarating, spectacular, but also extremely dangerous; he doesn’t like to court injuries for no reason.

"Want to see something spectacular? Go perform yourself later!"

Ye Haochuan joked, suddenly hearing the name for the third-round match, Ye Yixuan vs. Gong Bin.

Ye Haochuan instantly focused his attention.
