There were also a few people who recognized Josua, and their words were much more ruthless.
“Tsk. I know there’s talk about him from mission pavilion some time ago for completing a tough mission with a few outer disciples.
Of course, the outer disciples contributed the most to that task, and he was at most spectating from a side and attacking from time to time.
Did he think he could finish the task by himself? What a fool.”
“I want to see what ranking he’ll get.”
“I bet he’s going to be disqualified in the first round.”
“Tsk. An apprentice only earns one spirit stone a month, yet he directly took three out to enter the competition. He’s surely confident.”
The discussion around him was extremely harsh and cynical, and everyone thought Valentina entered the competition as he was arrogant and did not know his place.
Moreover, these disciples did not say these behind Valentina‘s back, nor did they lower their voices, and they spurted these rude remarks as if they deliberately wanted Valentina to hear them.
Some of them even spoke loudly, attracting a burst of laughter.
After Valentina passed the spirit stones to the elder and marked his jade identification badge for the competition, he turned around and pointed at the crowd. “You, you, you, and all of you…”
As he said that, he drew out a circle with his hand, encircling the big group of people.
One of them was indignant, and he walked out, shouting, “What’s wrong? What are you trying to say? You don’t agree with our words?”
Valentina grinned. “You better start praying that you won’t meet me in the first round as I’ve remembered all of your faces.
If we meet in the competition, I‘ll surely hit you until all of your teeth fall off.”
Valentina’s words were extremely arrogant and boastful, which caused public outrage. However, Valentina‘s momentum was too strong, and it even suppressed the entire scene.
Hence, the disciples only widened their mouths, appearing fierce but were scared inside. Suddenly, no one dared to refute.
Wherever Valentina looked, the disciples at the area would lower their heads, afraid to meet his gaze.
They thought that Valentina was like a towering mountain, and they were only an insignificant speck of dust.
Valentina looked at these disciples and sneered. They brazenly mocked him in front of him just now, yet as soon as Valentina appeared fiercer, they all cowered and were scared to make any sound.
Moreover, such weaklings did not have any sense of injustice, and their realm might only be stuck here in their lives.
After sweeping his gaze across the crows, Valentina walked to the stands and chose a quiet corner, patiently waiting for the competition to start. Not long after, a burst of exclamation came from the crowd.
The next second, the entire area went into an uproar.
Valentina heard all the screaming.
“It’s the previous top ten disciples!”
“I wonder if anyone will fall out of the top ten, and who improves!” Someone was shouting at the top of his lungs, revealing the excitement of the person.
‘Maya Kaye?’ Valentina’s eyes glimmered, and he remembered the name was the one ranked in third on the previous ranking competition.
It could be said she was the elite among the apprentices.
Then, Valentina stood and looked in the direction of the seats with a better view.
In that instant, he saw a large group of apprentices surrounding a row of people, walking over.
These apprentices’ faces were filled with enthusiasm and admiration, and everything they said was corny compliments.
