Chapter 502: Chapter 279 Nanyang Jiutuo Mountain, this guy is really putting on airs! (Please subscribe! Vote for the monthly ticket!)

Outside the gymnasium, the flow of people was immense.

Many nearby high school and college students, having heard that an official Magic Competition was being held here, gathered around.

The massive stadium seemed a bit crowded.

Brother Zhou Yi, along with his two roommates and a girl, strolled around the place.

They passed by many college COSERs, both male and female, cosplaying characters from One Piece and Demon Slayer.

Characters like Mi Douzi, Xiang Nhaihu, Wang Lufei, Liu Suolong, and Mao Namei.

There was even a low-key guy cosplaying as a sports anime character with a ball in hand and black and white overalls who passed by them.

After all, the Magic Competition was publicly advertised as an event to recruit Magic Masters.

So, the students who came to join in the fun were also cosplaying various hot-blooded anime characters.

Zhou Yi wasn’t particularly interested in these anime characters.

He and his two roommates, along with the girl, wandered around while chatting.

After they had walked for a while,

this official recruitment for Magic Masters brought many hidden magic sects into the public eye.

At the same time, numerous young representatives of different magic sects also arrived.

These young people from the hidden magic sects were not qualified to exchange ideas with real experts in the main venue of the Magic Competition, but outside the gymnasium, they could set up arenas and make friends through their magical skills.

This immediately attracted a lot of onlookers.

At the moment, standing on the arena was a young man dressed as an ancient scholar.

This young man was quite handsome, and to the uninformed, might appear like some cosplay celebrity.

Watching the young man standing on the arena, the university girls below started to cheer.

"Wow, this guy is so handsome! Which school is he from?"

"He is actually a traditional costume hottie; I’m totally in love!"

"He is totally my type. Handsome guy, can I add you on WeChat? I’m up for it!"

"Handsome boy, don’t fight in the arena; it’s too dangerous. Come home with me, sister is nice, sister is wonderful, sister has money in her pocket!"

...

Indeed, the young man’s looks were outstanding; him just standing there earned him offers to be kept.

On the other side of the arena, a few male and female disciples dressed in ancient style heard this.

Among them,

a male disciple laughed and said, "Our eldest senior brother’s face surely works wonders everywhere; who could have thought that he’d receive so many offers to be kept."

"Our eldest senior brother was born with a pure bone structure, suitable for cultivation from birth, a favored child of the heavens. It is normal for him to be handsome, and an attractive person is always more popular than the average wherever they go. However, the girls outside are a bit too exaggerated now." ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

A female disciple said sarcastically, "These women are too frivolous, our eldest senior brother keeps to himself and would never pay attention to them."

The young man on the stage, just like what the female disciples said,

shook his head after hearing the cheers of these girls around him.

He hadn’t expected the people of the outside world to be so frivolous.

This talk of being kept was absurd.

Unfortunately, he was a practitioner of the cultivation arts, unaffected by worldly women or wealth.

Ignoring the infatuated girls, the young man stood with his hands behind his back, looking over the crowd, and spoke loudly, "Everyone, I am Bai Huayuan, a disciple of Nanyang Jiutuo Mountain! I have come down from the mountain with my elders to exchange ideas with my peers in magic. I am aware that many young representatives of the hidden magic sects are here today. Would anyone like to step onto the stage and make friends through our magic, have a friendly match or two?"

This young man, who introduced himself as a disciple of Nanyang Jiutuo Mountain,

Named Bai Huayuan,

This significant move by the Dragon Country government to recruit civil magic forces into a special department was not lost on them.

Jiutuo Mountain had always been a hidden force.

But recently, foreign powers have become increasingly rampant.

Jiutuo Mountain, having secluded itself for so many years, had been considering making contact with the Dragon Country government, but the opportunity had never arisen. Now, there was such a chance.

Thus, the senior experts of Jiutuo Mountain brought their disciples down to Wanjiang City to participate in the Magic Competition.

As long as Jiutuo Mountain could enter the Dragon Country government, if anything happened in the future, Jiutuo Mountain would have the significant support of the government behind them.

With official backing, anyone who wanted to target Jiutuo Mountain would think twice about their abilities.

And this Bai Huayuan, was the eldest disciple in his generation of Jiutuo Mountain.

This time descending the mountain, the Jiutuo Mountain elders also wanted to gauge the strength of the young generation from other hidden magic forces within Dragon Country.

After all these years without showing themselves, no one knew their true capabilities.

If they could glean some details from the exchange between the younger generations, that would be ideal.

So, Bai Huayuan stood on the arena, ostensibly wanting to exchange ideas with other young magic practitioners.

In reality, Jiutuo Mountain’s elders were testing the foundation of the other forces.

Watching Bai Huayuan stand on the stage, posing in a showy manner.

The girls by the arena were thrilled, finding Bai Huayuan incredibly handsome.

And many male students who had come to check out the gymnasium were feeling irked.

Looking at Bai Huayuan, they found him irritating no matter how they looked.

Damn it!

This guy was showing off too much!

Showing off what?

Was it just because he was somewhat handsome?

Who knew if he was all show and no substance?

And there he was, holding martial contests in an arena?

Was he living as if it were ancient times, attracting all the girls’ attention with his fancy display?

Zhou Yi stood below the arena, watching Bai Huayuan.

He didn’t look pleased.

Because he realized the two girls he brought with him were now all focused on Bai Huayuan on the stage.

Although he was wealthy, he didn’t quite match up in terms of looks.

Bai Huayuan was too handsome and too distracting for the girls.

Zhou Yi snorted with dissatisfaction.

He thought back to his high school days when he’d learned Taekwondo, even earning a black belt.

He was somewhat of an expert.

He had never lost a fight in high school.

Zhou Yi said to the pretty girls beside him, "He’s just a pretty boy; probably can’t even take a punch. And what’s this Jiutuo Mountain? Never even heard of it. If I hadn’t stopped practicing Taekwondo for so long, I’d go up there and show him what’s what!"

Zhou Yi boasted about himself.

His two roommates, knowing that Zhou Yi wanted to show off to impress the girls,

immediately played along.

"Brother Yi, you used to practice Taekwondo? Really?"

Zhou Yi smugly said, "Those are old stories. I practiced for a few years in high school, just the normal black belt third degree."

"Damn! Black belt, that’s awesome, Brother Yi! Being so young and already a black belt third degree, there aren’t many like that in the country, right?"

"Brother Yi, why don’t you go up there and spar with this pretty boy? You’d totally beat him!"

His two pals continued to flatter Zhou Yi.

Listening to his roommates’ praise and adulation,

Zhou Yi felt chuffed.

He cleared his throat, truly wanting to get on stage and spar with this Bai Huayuan.

But before Zhou Yi could take a step forward,

among the crowd, someone else spoke up first, "I’ve long heard of the unparalleled Fire Manipulation Technique of Nanyang’s Jiutuo Mountain. Unfortunately, I’ve never had the opportunity to experience it. Today, I’ll take this chance to witness Jiutuo Mountain’s Fire Manipulation Skill!"

Before the man appeared, his voice rang out.

Bai Huayuan followed the sound,

and the next second he saw a lean man leap out from the crowd, his energy shaking the air, stepping through the air, and over the heads of the crowd. He landed on the stage, right in front of Bai Huayuan.
