Zhu Jinfeng's gaze quickly swept past the students in the front row and landed on Ye Qingzhou in the last row of the seventh class. She turned to Zhu Hanwen and said, "Teacher, could you arrange my seat to be over there?"

Zhu Jinfeng pointed to the last row, to a seat separated by only one aisle from Ye Qingzhou. That seat happened to be empty.

Faced with this heiress from a martial arts family, what could Zhu Hanwen do? After all, Principal Zhao Dezhu had personally reminded him to take good care of her.

"Sure."

"Thank you, teacher."

"We meet again, Ye Qingzhou."

After sitting down, Zhu Jinfeng slightly raised her delicate eyebrows and greeted Ye Qingzhou with a nod, "Please take care of me in the future."

However, her tone carried some personal emotions, after all, in the Sword Fighting Competition, Zhu Jinfeng had lost terribly to Ye Qingzhou. It was the first time she was carried out of the arena.

After this loss, Zhu Jinfeng learned from her shame, practiced diligently upon returning, and had recently improved her strength significantly. She wanted to redeem herself through Ye Qingzhou.

"Sigh, troublesome."

Feeling Zhu Jinfeng's fighting spirit, Ye Qingzhou sighed silently, having no interest in a defeated opponent.

This left Huang Liwen, who was sitting next to him, utterly confused and unable to help but ask, "Wow, she even followed you to school? Old Ye, be honest with me, how many things are you hiding from me?"

"Too many, which one do you want to know?"

"!!!"

Huang Liwen was in disbelief: "My goodness, does that mean you have women outside?"

Ye Qingzhou rolled his eyes at him with disdain as usual, "I don't. Keep asking, and I'll knock your face crooked."

Sure enough, after school in the afternoon, Zhu Jinfeng's figure appeared in the Fighting Center, standing right in the Swordsmanship Club's training hall.

Xu Lan publicly announced Zhu Jinfeng's joining of the Swordsmanship Club, immediately sparking a hubbub.

The person most distressed by this was Zheng Zigang, because he was the fifth seat in the Swordsmanship Club.

Zhu Jinfeng's joining directly caused him to fall out of the top five, losing his position, leaving him utterly miserable.

And the second unluckiest person was Leon, who was anxiously jumping around at the moment: "Master Ye, why did Zhu Jinfeng come to our First High School?"

"How would I know?"

"Master Ye, I think she came for you."

"You're overthinking it. Practice more swordsmanship when you have time. Stop reading weird novels with Huang Liwen. You're now talking about all sorts of nonsense like dominating the ancient world, erasing the great path. I think your mind is becoming increasingly unstable."

"Impossible, I'm more spirited now than before."

Leon insisted as he spoke, then lamented, "The seat battle is coming up soon, and I just managed to secure the second seat. Am I going to fall back to the third seat? Wouldn't that make me the eternal third?"

After the Sword Fighting Competition ended, the internal seat battles of the Swordsmanship Club saw Leon, possessing a Martial Bone, taking full advantage. He finally clawed back a win from Xu Yuebing, securing the second seat.

Yet, before he even warmed his seat, Zhu Jinfeng arrived!

"Master Ye, do you have any way for me to hold onto the second seat? I can pay for a plan!"

Ye Qingzhou used Cicada Sense to sense Zhu Jinfeng's internal state and discovered that her Dan Feather Sacred Flame had grown considerably stronger since the Sword Fighting Competition, and she even had the lethal weapon Celestial Phoenix True Spirit—how was Leon going to win?

So, he regretfully shook his head, "This battle, unless I step in for you personally, you won't win."

Ye Qingzhou then shared another piece of news that put a mountain of pressure on Leon: "I heard from Xu Yuebing that she's about to forge her Martial Bone soon. Her sister is also going to teach her a High-Tier Sword Technique. If you don't work hard, you might not even be able to keep the third seat."

"This is simply outrageous!"

Leon felt deep malice, his heart filled with shock and anger.

When he first came down from Three Pure Ones Mountain, he thought that ruling over Linjiang First High School would be a breeze, given his formidable skills.

He had even planned how to shape his glorious life, step by step reaching the pinnacle, ultimately dominating the national high school Martial Arts League, ushering in the era belonging to him, Leon.

On his first day, however, Leon got a lesson from Ye Qingzhou.

Afterwards, he lowered his aspirations, revised his plans, setting a modest goal to first secure the second seat in the Swordsmanship Club. Once his Martial Bone reached Great Success, he'd robustly reclaim his glory.

Yet again, he got a lesson from Xu Yuebing.

Not long ago, he even lost to Miao Yi.

And now, here came a Zhu Jinfeng!

"This is a crime. Why is this little Linjiang First High School gathering such a concentration of martial arts geniuses? Wasn't shallow water supposed to be incapable of nurturing a True Dragon?"

Leon cried out to Azure Heaven in his heart about the unfairness, feeling like the heavens were targeting him at every turn.

In the subsequent seat battle, unsurprisingly, Leon was defeated, and the Swordsmanship Club's seat roster underwent an update.

First seat, Ye Qingzhou.

Second seat, Zhu Jinfeng.

Third seat, Leon.

Fourth seat, Xu Yuebing.

Fifth seat, Lu Yifan.

From the start of the school year until now, just over a month, the seat battles had occurred five times, resulting in Lu Yifan, the former former first seat, dropping a rank with each battle, now almost falling out of the list.

Many of the old members of the Swordsmanship Club expressed their bewilderment, but they all had a sense now that Ye Qingzhou's cohort made the Swordsmanship Club at Linjiang First High School terrifyingly strong.

And after defeating Leon, Zhu Jinfeng did not seem satisfied.

She stood at the center of the Martial Arts Arena, pointing her sword at someone, "Ye Qingzhou, dare to battle me again?"

Zhu Jinfeng's actions stirred the Swordsmanship Club to a boil, with everyone abuzz with discussion.

"Wow, Zhu Jinfeng is still not convinced after losing in the Sword Fighting Competition."

"No wonder she transferred to our First High School, turns out it was aimed at Ye Qingzhou."

"Zhu Jinfeng seems quite confident. Can Ye Qingzhou hold onto his first seat position?"

Everyone was filled with curiosity about this battle, even imagining various touching scenarios of "love and rivalry" between Ye Qingzhou and Zhu Jinfeng.

Some were already discussing how the love triangle among Ye Qingzhou, Xu Yuebing, and Zhu Jinfeng would play out.

Such things are thrilling just to think about.

After all, isn't this how it's written in novels?

However, Ye Qingzhou's response was unexpected as he sat cross-legged, unmoved by Zhu Jinfeng's challenge, "I'm tired of playing with you, find someone else."

Although Zhu Jinfeng had become stronger recently, Ye Qingzhou could sense through Cicada Sense that the gap between them hadn't closed; it had widened instead.

An easily achieved victory held no meaning for Ye Qingzhou.

It couldn't refine his Sword Dao nor bring any mental satisfaction.
