Chapter 423 An Old Friend's Name

"Damn your grandma's legs, get lost!"

Qiao Yu was already annoyed, and Du Kaiwen jumping out now was just asking for a scolding.

"You dare to curse at me?"

Du Kaiwen stared at Qiao Yu venomously, his eyes full of icy killing intent. No one had ever dared to curse at him like that.

Then, a sinister plan began to take shape in Du Kaiwen's mind.

"How about this, I won't bully you. How about we make a bet?" A smile crept onto the corner of Du Kaiwen's mouth.

"Bet? Bet on what?" Qiao Yu asked.

"It's simple, you go to the Gods Arena in the training grounds and fight me. If you lose, the Worry-Free Sword is mine!"

"And if you lose?"

"There's absolutely no way I can lose!" Du Kaiwen's words were full of superiority and confidence.

Qiao Yu: "..."

The image of Teacher Wang Feng spreading his hands suddenly appeared in his mind: This kind of person, he's a lunatic.

Qiao Yu originally planned to refuse directly, but suddenly Qiao Yu seemed to think of something, and asked with a shy look.

"Um... can you kill people in the Gods Arena?"

"Of course, as long as we sign a life-and-death contract before we go on stage, life and death are predestined, and wealth lies in the heavens!" The smile on Du Kaiwen's face was very cruel.

He originally only intended to cripple this Heavenly Calamity and take the Worry-Free Sword, but since this kid was asking for it himself, then he couldn't be blamed!

And Qiao Yu's eyes lit up even more when he heard this.

If he beat Du Kaiwen to death, wouldn't their team only have four people? Then he would have a legitimate reason not to be on the same team as An Liya? This plan seemed to work!

The more Qiao Yu thought about it, the more reliable it seemed.

"What are you waiting for? Let's go, let's go now!" Qiao Yu grabbed Du Kaiwen and walked outside.

Du Kaiwen looked at Qiao Yu as if he were looking at a dead man. It was the first time he had seen someone so eager to die. It was truly amazing.

Many people in the genius class were also attracted to them, and several busybodies spread the news, making it known throughout the entire Gods Academy.

"Goddess, do you want to go and watch?" Ke Dijie asked very respectfully.

"No, I'm not interested in this kind of thing."

An Liya ignored Ke Dijie, her face was indifferent, and Ke Dijie's admiration in his eyes was even stronger than before.

That's right, this is his goddess! She doesn't give any man the time of day!

"Then I'll go first!"

If An Liya didn't go, Ke Dijie would definitely go.

He had been the one who orchestrated this battle, and he had even paid an A-grade long sword for it. Wouldn't he be at a great loss if he didn't see that Heavenly Calamity being beaten to a pulp?

Qiao Yu and Du Kaiwen soon arrived at the training ground behind the Gods Academy, which was where the students of the Gods Academy usually practiced their combat skills.

In the very center of the training ground was a place that resembled the ancient Roman Colosseum. White stone pillars supported the building, and a stone plaque hung at the entrance, with the five characters "Gods Arena" written on it.

"Isn't that Senior Du Kaiwen? He's the Gods Academy's recognized number one sword cultivator. Who's so blind that they dare to challenge him?"

"You don't know yet? It's that guy who beat up Karl yesterday! His name seems to be Tian E. This guy is too arrogant. He challenged Karl yesterday, and today he's challenging Du Kaiwen."

"Laughing to death, he doesn't think Du Kaiwen and that Karl guy are on the same level, does he? Even if Karl came, he would only be abused by Du Kaiwen. I can only say that there is a gap even between geniuses."

"Yeah, apart from the goddess An Liya, who in the entire Gods Academy dares to say they can beat Du Kaiwen for sure?"

The battle between the two hadn't even started yet, but it had already attracted a large crowd of onlookers.

Listening to those discussions, the smile on Du Kaiwen's face grew even wider.

"Tian E, I'll give you one last chance. If you kneel down and kowtow to me three times and apologize now, I might consider letting you off!"

"Stop yapping, let's just fight." Qiao Yu's nonchalant appearance made Du Kaiwen even angrier.

"Hmph! Since you're asking for death yourself, then don't blame me!"

Du Kaiwen snorted coldly, then walked straight towards Teacher Diwen, who was in charge of the Gods Arena.

"Teacher, please give me a life-and-death contract!"

"A life-and-death contract?"

Diwen raised his head to look at Du Kaiwen, then glanced at Qiao Yu, his brows furrowed tightly.

Two students from the genius class wanted to fight a life-and-death battle? How could that be allowed!

Every student in the genius class was a very valuable resource, and it would be a huge loss if one of them died prematurely.

"Wait! I can't make a decision on this matter. I have to tell Dean Gan Fofu about this first."

As soon as Diwen finished speaking, Du Kaiwen stopped him directly.

"Teacher Diwen, it's just dealing with a piece of trash with a conversion ratio of 0.4, there's no need to alarm Dean Gan Fofu."

Du Kaiwen's face was full of smiles, but his eyes were full of coldness. If Dean Gan Fofu came, he would definitely not let him kill Tian E.

"Conversion ratio of 0.4? So that's you?"

Diwen's gaze towards Qiao Yu instantly turned into disgust.

In the eyes of this teacher, having a waste student with a 0.4 conversion ratio was simply a disgrace to the Gods Academy.

"In that case, no problem!"

Diwen couldn't wait for this waste with a 0.4 conversion ratio to die, so he directly took out a life-and-death contract from the drawer.

Du Kaiwen's expression lit up, and he took the life-and-death contract and quickly signed his name on it, then handed the life-and-death contract to Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu shrugged, then signed his name as well.

After Diwen took the life-and-death contract, he looked it over a few times, and after confirming that there were no problems, he directly opened the door to the Gods Arena behind him.

"Under the life-and-death contract, life and death are predestined, and wealth lies in the heavens! No one is allowed to interfere!"

With Diwen's soft shout, Qiao Yu and Du Kaiwen walked into the Gods Arena.

The interior of the Gods Arena was like a movie theater, with a large open space in the middle, the ground made of white stone bricks.

Surrounding it were circles of viewing platforms, with the higher viewing platforms being taller.

The surrounding students followed closely behind, and the four of Ke Dijie squeezed to the front,抢got the front row seats.

The students who came in were discussing on the viewing platform.

"Wow! They even signed a life-and-death contract? That Tian E doesn't really want to die, does he?"

"Most likely, once the life-and-death contract is signed, even if Senior Du Kaiwen beats him to death, he can only suffer in silence! I guess this kid is just a clown trying to attract attention, wanting to increase his popularity through Senior Du Kaiwen!"

"That's right, Senior Du Kaiwen's sword skills are unmatched among the younger generation!"

"Not necessarily, think about the battle competition, that Ma Fei from the Kyoto University Second Team..."

"Hmph! That's because Senior Du Kaiwen didn't participate in the battle competition, otherwise that Ma Fei wouldn't be able to withstand a single sword from Senior Du Kaiwen!"

Listening to the discussions on the viewing platform, Qiao Yu was originally calm and indifferent, completely ignoring them.

But when he heard the familiar name of Ma Fei, Qiao Yu's heart still beat violently.

Alone as a stranger in a foreign land, in this Western Alliance, he could only rely on himself for everything.

Suddenly hearing Ma Fei's name, Qiao Yu couldn't help but feel emotional, and the scenes of the past couldn't help but flash through his mind.

Ma Fei... are you doing well?

At the same time, on a snow-covered mountain peak, a bare-chested young man was tightly holding a tree branch in his hand, standing tall in the snow.

He was motionless, his figure upright, standing firm in the biting cold wind, like a sharp sword inserted into the mountain peak.

Suddenly, the young man opened his eyes abruptly! And slashed the tree branch in his hand forward!

Tear!

The snow in the sky seemed to be torn apart by a pair of invisible hands, instantly splitting in two, directly avoiding the young man, and no more snowflakes could fall on him!

"Hahahaha! Very good! The sword energy has formed a sword intent after carrying your hatred! You have mastered the sword intent at just the high level, you are simply a monster born for the sword!"

A short, unremarkable man appeared at some point, his eyes full of appreciation as he looked at the young man, as if looking at a peerless treasure.

"As expected of the person I have my eye on! Hehe, Ji Pingyang! I admit that I can't beat you in this life, but this disciple I have trained with all my strength will definitely be stronger than your disciple! Hahaha! Hahahahaha!"

The man laughed wildly on the snow-capped mountain with his hands behind his back.

The young man behind him lowered his head, appearing respectful, but a strange light flashed in his eyes!
