The youth in the lead frowned slightly. This name sounded a little familiar. However, he instantly felt relieved and did not take it to heart.

He paid a lot of attention to Yang Lili. He was originally a little unhappy, but when he saw that Yang Lili and Chu Yunfan were not intimate, he instantly heaved a sigh of relief.

Chu Yunfan was just an ordinary classmate. After all, Chu Yunfan and Yang Lili had not seen each other for a few years. This was pretty normal. Thinking of this, the youth took a closer look at Chu Yunfan. There was not so much hostility in his expression anymore.

“So, he’s your old classmate. Nice to meet you. My name’s Du Yue’er,” the girl offered.

“Chu Yunfan, let me introduce you. This is my good friend, Du Yue’er, and her boyfriend, Ma Wu,” Yang Lili said, “And this is my amazing senior. He’s a top student of Qinghua University, Senior Jia Taihua.”

“Hello.” Chu Yunfan nodded in greeting. No wonder this young man had an arrogant look on his face. It turned out that he was a disciple of a famous university.

Federation Univerisity was not the only top university within the Federation. Although Qinghua University was slightly inferior to Federation University, it was still a famous university that had existed for hundreds of years. The outstanding disciples that came out of there had spread throughout the entire Federation.

“Since you’re Lili’s old classmate, let’s stick together,” Jia Taihua said.

Du Yue’er and Ma Wu let out a slight sigh of relief. The two of them clearly wanted to act according to Jia Taihua’s mood. Students who graduated from Qinghua University were undoubtedly high and mighty to them, and they could not afford to provoke them.

Now that they saw Jia Taihua did not seem to be angry, they let out a sigh of relief. How could the two of them not see Jia Taihua’s feelings toward Yang Lili? They had even been trying to play matchmaker for Jia Taihua and Yang Lili.

Fortunately, they could see that Chu Yunfan did not seem close to Yang Lili. They were just ordinary classmates.

Jia Taihua could not recall why the name Chu Yunfan sounded familiar, so he simply stopped thinking about it. After all, Chu Yunfan was just an ordinary classmate.

Chu Yunfan looked somewhat noncommittal. He was just here to humor his old classmate. Otherwise, he would not have bothered to pay attention to Jia Taihua.

They quickly made their way toward the center of the venue.

The four friends were happily chatting away. On the other hand, Chu Yunfan, who was trailing behind them, was neglected. Only Yang Lili would occasionally turn around and talk to him, while he would give short responses. He really did not mind at all.

They started to observe the center of the venue. The venue center was made up of a few arenas. Right at the center was an arena with a radius of about two to three hundred square meters. There were even chairs placed on top of it. It was obvious that this was the core of this symposium, and also the seats for the Innate level disciples.

The reason why these arenas had been prepared was that this symposium was not a simple discussion of Dao. In the end, there would be sparring matches and a showdown.

Other than this core arena, there were many small arenas with a radius of dozens of square meters. In the smaller arenas, there were quite a number of people fighting on them. Around the arenas, there were quite a number of people watching the matches taking place. There were even large screens that were broadcasting live.

Many youths were eager to give it a try. To them, this was undoubtedly a good opportunity to become famous.

In this society, keeping a low profile was not advocated. The more famous one was, the more support they would receive from all aspects. If one displayed enough talent and strength, there would naturally be people willing to sponsor them.

And for cultivators, resources were extremely important. They could not afford to be lacking in them.

The center of the venue was lined with private rooms. There were already many socialites stationed inside. And among them, there were also many big shots from various financial groups, families, and sects.

These young students were eager to try and attract the attention of these big shots. Not everyone could be like Chu Yunfan, who was able to kill his way to this stage almost all on his own.

However, Chu Yunfan swept a glance at the scene and immediately lost interest. To the outside world, these students were indeed outstanding. All of them were less than twenty years old and had already entered the peak of the Energy Refinement Stage or even the Acquired Stage, but in front of him, they were nothing.

However, to Yang Lili, Ma Wu, and Du Yue’er, Acquired Stage experts were like mythical experts. They had yet to step into the Energy Refinement Stage, which was naturally a very high level for them.

On the contrary, like Chu Yunfan, Jia Taihua did not seem too impressed.

“Senior Jia, do you want to go up and show us your skills? Lili admires that kind of martial arts expert very much,” Du Yue’er said as she gave him an imploring look.

Jia Taihua seemed to be waiting for this. He looked at Yang Lili and she seemed to be looking forward to it. He immediately said, “In that case, I’ll go up and give it a try.”

Chu Yunfan saw everything. Jia Taihua probably wanted to pursue Yang Lili, while Ma Wu and Du Yue’er were matchmakers.

In front of Yang Lili, Jia Taihua naturally had to perform well.

As he spoke, Jia Taihua took advantage of the gap at the end of an arena battle to go up the stage and introduce himself.

“I’m Jia Taihua of Qinghua University. Who here would like to teach me a lesson?”

Although Jia Taihua was a little arrogant, he had some skills. He swept away everyone who went up to challenge him, and almost all of them were experts at the peak of the Energy Refinement Stage. In front of Jia Taihua, there was clearly a big gap.

Chu Yunfan could tell that Jia Taihua had stepped into the Acquired Stage.

Jia Taihua easily defeated all his opponents. Then, he stepped out of the ring.

“Senior Jia, you were amazing. You looked like you were chopping melons and vegetables,” Du Yue’er said a little exaggeratedly.

Admittedly, it was not entirely an exaggeration. They had not entered the Energy Refinement Stage, yet Jia Taihua had already entered the Acquired Stage. The difference was like Heaven and Earth.

“That was kind of boring. The difficulty level was too low,” Jia Taihua said arrogantly with a wave of his hand. “It doesn’t even compare to the internal sparring in my university.”

“That’s right. Qinghua University is second only to Federation University. The students in it are all geniuses!” Ma Wu took the opportunity to say this.

Jia Taihua looked at Yang Lili and saw that she seemed pretty excited. He immediately thought to himself that his performance just now had not been in vain.

However, Jia Taihua suddenly noticed Chu Yunfan’s indifferent expression. He seemed to have thought of something and said, “Chu Yunfan, I see that you seem to have a plan in mind. Why don’t you go on stage and give it a try?”
