It can be said that besides Qu Ling Yue, within the entire first battle district, no one else would be able to go against the Crown Prince’s authourity. Everyone there were all secretly wishing that Jun Xie would meet with Qu Ling Yue in battle as soon as possible and have Qu Ling Yue overwhelm him and they would all be able to be at ease.
Qu Ling Yue clicked her tongue, unwilling to say anything to the youth and she was feeling rather perplexed at the moment. She shifted her feet slightly away but her sight was involuntarily locked on Jun Xie, her eyes tinged with curiosity and worry.
The matches concluded one after another and it would be Jun Wu Xie’s turn very soon. No one in the crowd believed that Jun Xie would really step onto the stage and fight. Everyone’s eyes swept all over the arena a few times but did not manage to see any signs of Zhao Xun, and their eyes were quickly shining with disdain and contempt.
[As expected, it’s happening once again!]
Jun Wu Xie’s eyes looked down and the corners of her mouth moved slightly, like she was estimating something. When she heard her name being called out, she looked up and walked towards the center of the battle stage.

Chapter 827 : “Apologies, It’s My Turn (2)”
Standing in the middle of the battle stage, the announcer glanced at Jun Xie standing on the stage with him. His lips curled up derisively as he thought back to the several times all of Jun Xie’s opponents had forfeited their matches. He knew it in his heart and although he could not say his thoughts out aloud, that expression on his face already strongly exhibited his obvious disdain for Jun Xie.
All eyes within the arena were focused on Jun Xie and almost everytime Jun Xie had stood upon that stage, nobody had turned up to stand opposite him.
Today, the masses were thinking the same thing would just happen and they were not holding their breaths as they waited for the time limit of one hour to pass. They wanted time to move quickly so they could proceed on to the next match.
The seconds passed into minutes and the arena was getting more and more rowdy with impatience. People were no longer looking at Jun Xie standing alone on the stage and the next match’s contestants were preparing for their upcoming battle.
The announcer was watching the time, and there was no much time left before the accursed hour would be up. He finally could not help but open his mouth and said: “Young Master Jun, I think Zhao Xun would not be coming today as well. I am thinking we should just move on to the next match in line.”
What he meant was for Jun Xie to stop with his act and not waste everybody’s time.
“Time is not up yet.” Jun Wu Xie replied monotonously as she looked up at the announcer.
The man gave a sigh and retreated to the side.
Obvious from his demeanor he wasn’t keen to carry on seeing Jun Xie put on his act.
“”What difference does it make whether the time is up? Everyone knows what really going on here and who are you putting up the act for?” The arena was in an uproar, and if not for their fear of Lei Chen behind Jun Xie, the crowd might very well have moved to throw Jun Xie out unceremoniously.
However, under all the rising clamorous noise, a tall figure had suddenly appeared at the doors into the arena.
A bunch of youths who had been whispering into each others ears had upon seeing the person at the doors of the arena suddenly froze in place.
They stared in disbelief at the youth walking slowly to the battle stage. The people in the crown subconsciously rubbed at their eyes and were all thinking whether they were actually hallucinating!
The one who had just appeared at the doors into the arena was no stranger!
It was Zhao Xun who was Jun Xie’s opponent that day!
“Why is he here?”
A group of youths looked questioningly at Zhao Xun, unable to believe their eyes.
Zhao Xun walked up to go towards the middle of the battle stage under countless pairs of fixated eyes, standing easy and nonchalant before Jun Xie.
“We can begin now.” Jun Wu Xie said suddenly.
The announcer in charge of the matches had obviously been stunned into silence and he remained like that for a while before he turned to look uncertainly at Zhao Xun, asking in a probing tone: “Zhao Xun, what did you come here for?”
Zhao Xun lifted his eyebrow and said sneeringly: “Isn’t today the day for my match? Asking me what am I here for, shouldn’t you know it well?”
The announcer was stumped by Zhao Xun’s words and his face turned a shade paler. He turned his head to look at Zhao Xun and Jun Xie, his face still in shock.
The youths in the arena had exploded into exhilaration! They had initially thought that Zhao Xun might have appeared to come announce his willingness to forfeit the match, but finally…..
Was the guy really going to fight Jun Xie! ?
The sudden and unexpected change of events had caught everyone unawares.
Zhao Xun had just yesterday blatantly hinted at his acceptance of the His Highness the Crown Prince’s terms in his offer and fully intended to give up on the match. But….. why had he then come here today? And he was even making a big show of wanting to battle with Jun Xie in the match!
At that moment, everyone was becoming hopelessly confused.
“Cough, since that is the case….. Then you can begin.” The announcer retreated to the side awkwardly as his heart became more and more confused.

Chapter 828 : “Apologies, It’s My Turn (3)”
Right in the centre of the battle stage, Jun Wu Xie and Zhao Xun stood facing each other, the atmosphere suddenly became nerve wrecking, and the youths in the crowd watching them took a long while before they were able to recover. It looked like the battle for this match was just about to begin!
“Zhao Xun! That‘s really manly! You actually have the guts to stand up to the Crown Prince! This show is just going to be great!”
“That’s just what I have been saying. Someone will surely come along to teach Jun Xie a lesson one day. That kid was just putting on a brave front saying time was not up yet, now the rock she picked up herself has dropped onto her own foot! Zhao Xun has shown up, look at the the little kid’s skinny arms and legs, I think she won’t be able to stand up to a single strike from Zhao Xun.”
Seeing that the fight was about to start, the youths in the first battle district were all almost boiling over with anticipation. All of them did not dare to go against Lei Chen, but that did not mean they wouldn’t enjoy seeing Jun Xie getting thrashed up!
Within the arena, Jun Wu Xie’s tiny frame looked even more frail and weak before Zhao Xun’s tall frame. At one glance, it was clear who was the stronger one.
Everyone was secretly anticipating to see, just how Jun Xie would be slapped before everyone!
With the ring of the bell signalling the start of the match, Jun Wu Xie who was standing on the battle stage finally moved!
And with that first move, the entire arena that had been fully prepared to cheer and mock fell completely silent!
All the pairs of eyes were staring at the brilliant green spirit glow flaring out from Jun Xie’s body. The bright light had in that instant almost blinded the eyes of all the youths in the crowd!
“Green spirit! How can that be possible! ! ?”
A roar filled with shock exploded from the crowd! Everyone could not believe their eyes as they looked at the tiny figure engulfed in his own brilliant green glow!
A fifteen year old green spirit, no one had ever heard of something like that!
They were all rubbing their eyes to make sure they were seeing things right!
The figure of Jun Wu Xie was moving within the battle stage like lightning and when seen against that bright green flare, the orange spirit of Zhao Xun was so miniscule it couldn’t even be seen! The movements of the green spirit was so fast that everyone eyes could not keep up with it. All they could see was a brilliant green flash moving at an incredibly fast speed towards
Zhao Xun!
At that moment, everyone’s mouths were all clamped shut. Jun Wu Xie had only merely released her spirit power and she had already given everyone there a powerful slap across their faces!
All those youths who have accused her of fawning on Lei Chen, had been jealous of her incredulous and undeserved luck, were now suddenly unable to speak another word.
A green spirit….. wouldn’t need any help from anyone in secret here. With that kind of power, he would be able to completely dominate the entire first battle district!
Before such overwhelming power, all excuses quickly became a joke.
After this, no one would be able to say that because Jun Xie was too weak, he had secretly forced his opponents to pull out from their matches.
From what they could see, throughout the whole first battle district, not a single opponent would be able to stand up before him.
Suddenly, nobody spoke a word. The entire arena had fallen eerily silent. The youths who had earlier mocked and jeered felt their faces burning up painfully. If a green spirit was considered trash, they what did that make them? More insignificant than trash?
The battle was over in a blink. An orange spirit had no chance of standing up against a green spirit. Seemingly before everyone could recover from their shock, Zhao Xun who had been standing on the stage was suddenly sent flying from a single kick by Jun Xie, his tall figure drawing one big arc in the air to fall heavily in a corner of the battle stage!
Jun Wu Xie had just executed one move, and he had achieved a win in a mere second!
Such dominating and overwhelming power, made all those youths who had despised Jun Xie silently gulp in horror.

Chapter 829 : “Apologies, It’s My Turn (4)”
What kind of a joke was that! ? Jun Xie was just an absolute monster! What was the Crown Prince even thinking! ? How could he even think that that demonic monstrosity would not be able to advance through the rounds in this tournament! ? There was absolutely no need for him to secretly ask those contestants to forfeit their matches! Doesn’t the whole thing look like a joke to everyone now?
Those youths who had firmly believed that Jun Xie had committed those dastardly deeds because he had been weak and helpless suddenly found their minds unable to comprehend the situation at hand.
With Jun Xie’s spirit power level, he would be able to effortlessly overwhelm any opponent in under a second, why would he even need to go through all that hassle?
On the battle stage, the spirit power glow around Jun Wu Xie had already dissipated. She quietly adjusted her clothes and calmly turned to look at the announcer who was standing at the side with his mouth wide agape.
“You can announce the result.”
The announcer stood gaping for another moment before he suddenly snapped his mouth shut. He gulped heavily on his own saliva and looked with his face filled with astonishment at the expressionless Jun Wu Xie. At that moment, hee no longer dared to show the slightest disdain like he had earlier and in his eyes, one only saw immense terror.
“From the Zephyr Academy, Jun Xie wins!” The announcer said almost falteringly, his eyes looking right at a terrifying monster.
[That kid looked to be fifteen at most!]
[And he had attained the green spirit! ?]
It was not enough that the Zephyr Academy had rocked the entire tournament with several seventeen and eighteen years olds with blue spirits, now a fifteen year old green spirit had even emerged from them! ?
The announcer was suddenly immensely grateful that he had not said anything sarcastic to Jun Xie as he had feared reprisal from Lei Chen from before. But now it seemed that there was no need for Lei Chen to lift a finger and Jun Xie by himself would be able to squash him like a bug!
The announcer’s voice reverberated within the arena and those among the crowd who still had not recovered from shock suddenly regained their senses, turning their disbelieving eyes to look at the figure of Jun Xie slowly walking off the battle stage.
Immediately, the crowd surrounding the stage unconsciously parted to allow Jun Xie a clear and unhindered path through, with none of them daring to say a word to him, their hearts still palpitating from the shock.
Jun Wu Xie walked down calmly from the stage, under the countless stares all focused upon her, and even til when her back disappeared from the exit of the battle arena, their eyes had remained staring foolishly at the doors that Jun Xie had just exited from.
It had been just a few short minutes, but it all seemed so surreal, just like a dream.
No one had noticed, Zhao Xun who had been sent flying by Jun Xie with a single kick, had taken the opportunity when he saw that everyone was shocked and dazed, silently got up, his face not showing any signs of agony while he quietly patted off the dust from his clothes, and had slipped out of the arena without a sound.
Today was the first time Jun Xie had been seen to have executed a move in the entire Spirit Battle Tournament, and that one single move from him, had been more than enough to completely erase off all the unsightly blemishes previously smeared upon Jun Xie’s name.
Even if Jun Xie had been a significant orange spirit, things would not have happened to this extent and people would not be in such an advanced state of shock and disbelief.
But when she showed up as a green spirit, there wasn’t the slightest doubt that he would have been able to overwhelm and exert total dominance over any opponent in the first battle district.
It could be said, with the rare exceptional breed of those other demonic monsters from the same Zephyr Academy, throughout all the contestants in the Spirit Battle Tournament, they wouldn’t be able to find another person who would be able to stand up to Jun Xie’s overwhelming strength. When they saw that the kid possessed such unbelievable power that was almost demonic, everyone suddenly could not fathom why the Crown Prince had needed to commit such despicable deeds in the tournament.
To the extent that many of them were even thinking that those opponents who had previously pulled out of the competition had been really lucky.
Having forfeited voluntarily was at least better than having everyone witness himself being tormented and humiliated by an opponent smaller and younger. They would at least still have their dignity intact. Just like Zhao Xun today, getting himself defeated by Jun Xie in a mere second with a single strike, that was just so embarrassing and shameful. Without mentioning anything else, but the chances of being seen as anything close to formidable would have been completely crushed with that.

Chapter 830 : “Apologies, It’s My Turn (5)”
As everyone in the first battle district was still gripped in shock, one man among them who had been secretly observing everything that had gone on in there had his face creased up in a deep frown as he quietly slipped out the back door of the battle arena.
Zhao Xun was walking on one of the main streets on his way back to the academy’s allocated inn when he suddenly felt someone coming in very close from behind. He had not even turned his head back when a hand clamped upon his shoulder and he felt a cold and hard point pressed against the back of his hip.
“Don’t make a sound, and just follow me.” A low raspy voice sounded from behind Zhao Xun. Zhao Xun’s body stiffened and his face immediately showed an expression of fear as he obediently nodded his head.
The man forcefully pushed Zhao Xun into a dark alley at the side.
In the dark alley, a black robed man stood with his hands clasped behind his back. The face that had not been too good looking in the first place was now even ominously dark. He stared chillingly at Zhao Xun who had been dragged in by his subordinate and his eyes flashed with rage.
“Do you know what you have done?” The black robed man stared at Zhao Xun icily, his voice trembling with rage.
Zhao Xun shivered and his face went pale.
“I asked for you to go spread more rumours and to forfeit the match. What did you show up there instead?” The black
robed man’s eyes flared up in rage.
Zhao Xun replied stiffly: “I….. I….. I had thought….. I could defeat him…..”
“You scoundrel!” The black robed man’s eyes widened further as he stared at Zhao Xun. “Who told you you can decide for yourself! Are you already tired of living! ? Have you forgotten my specific instructions! ? Such a perfect plan but it has been wrecked by a bumbling fool! What I wanted you to do was to go ruin Jun Xie name! Tarnish the Crown Prince’s reputation! You had instead gone on to provide Jun Xie with an opportunity like this! The news that Jun Xie defeated you today in battle will spread very quickly! His powers as a green spirit will be revealed! Do you think people will still think he is just a douchebag that only knows how to play up to people in power! ? !”
The black robed man was on the verge of exploding with rage. The plan had proceeded very smoothly up to this point. Zhao Xun had agreed to everything and who knew what kind of madness came over him that he should decide to show up today at the first battle district and gave Jun Xie the chance to show his powers!
With that one foolish move, all that they had worked for had been completely wrecked! With the kid’s green spirit powers revealed, it was enough to dispel all the lies and rumours to collapse into itself!
Zhao Xun only shivered and did not say anything more.
“Since you have been so foolish and have shown yourself to be completely useless, there is no need to keep you alive any longer!” The black robed man narrowed his eyes and signaled with a glance to the man holding Zhao Xun down.
