âGrandpa, donât worry about him. Heâs probably here with Xu Naâer,â Leng Ruoxue guessed after some thought.
âOkay.â
âGrandpa, Iâm going back to my room.â
âAlright.â
â¦
The two-day break passed quickly.
On the morning of the fourth day of the individual finals, Leng Ruoxue and the others arrived at the competition venue. After drawing lots, they sat by the edge of the stage and waited.
Leng Ruoxueâs opponent today was Feng Moran, and her match was the first today.
The time for the match came quickly. After the referee gave the order, the two of them walked onto the stage.
âReferee, I admit defeat,â Feng Moran said to the referee as soon as the match began.
âAre you sure?â The referee looked at Feng Moran to confirm.
âYes.â
âAlright! Leng Ruoxue wins the first match today,â the referee announced helplessly.
âBig Brother Feng, what are you doing?â Leng Ruoxue asked unpleasantly after they got off the stage. All four of her opponents had admitted defeat in all four of her matches.
âXueâer, we are self-aware and sensible! How can we be your opponents? In that case, why waste time? Instead of doing this, itâs better to preserve our strength to deal with other opponents,â Feng Moran explained with a smile.
âThatâs right, Miss. Weâre all family, so thereâs no need to fuss over it. Uniting against the outside is the most important thing,â Feng Da said as he came forward.
âXueâer, what they said is very reasonable!â Freak echoed.
âDonât tell me youâre also planning to admit defeat?â Leng Ruoxue asked while looking at Freak. She had always been unclear about Freakâs strength, and she really wanted to have a good fight with him.
âYes, Xueâer. You are the head of our family. How can I beat you?! You have to show me mercy!â Freak said ingratiatingly to Leng Ruoxue.
âIâm the head of the family?â Leng Ruoxue asked while staring at Freak.
âYes, you are definitely the head!â
âThen will you definitely listen to me?â Leng Ruoxue smiled lightly.
âOf course I will!â
âWhat if I donât allow you to admit defeat?â Leng Ruoxue looked at Freak with unfathomable depth, a trace of cunning flashing in her beautiful eyes.
âXueâer, please show mercy in front of so many people. If you want to use domestic violence against me, you can beat me up when no one is around!â Freak looked at Leng Ruoxue pitifully with a pleading face.
ââ¦â Leng Ruoxue was at a loss for words.?This Freak is bullshitting! When did I start using domestic violence against him?
âHmph! Leng Ruoxue, you relied on your teammates admitting defeat to win so many rounds. What kind of skill is that? Big Brother Qing will definitely defeat you.â At this moment, Ximen Ya walked over and spoke with a face full of disdain.
âWhere did this crazy woman come from? So rude!â Leng Ruoxue glanced at Ximen Ya and said indifferently.
âDamn it. Who did you say is a crazy woman?â Ximen Ya roared without any regard for her image.
âCalm down. Your beloved Big Brother Qing definitely doesnât like shrews. Look at Miss Shui. Sheâs much gentler than you.â Leng Ruoxue deliberately glanced at Shui Xinran, who was staying tenderly beside Huo Qing, and showed concern for her well-being.
Ximen Yaâs schemes were far inferior to Shui Xinranâs. She wouldnât be a match for Shui Xinran even if there were ten of her.
âYou⦠Hmph!â Ximen Ya glared at Leng Ruoxue, but she looked at Ye Chen lovingly. Then she walked elegantly back to Huo Qing.
âBig Brother Qing, Yaâer will cheer for you!â
Ximen Yaâs gentle voice sounded not far away. Leng Ruoxue felt her hair stand on end.?These women are really good at acting.
âXueâer, you have to cheer for me too!â Freak said a little arrogantly. His opponent today was Huo Qing. He would definitely beat the living daylights out of him.?Hmph! Anyone who dares covet my woman deserves to die!
âYes, you must win today.â Leng Ruoxue nodded.
âDonât worry. I wonât let my future wife down,â Freak promised.
The next match was Huo Qing versus Ye Chen.
âXueâer, itâs my turn.â Freak turned and walked onto the stage.
âI wonât show mercy,â Huo Qing said politely.
âNo one wants you to show mercy,â Ye Chen said impatiently.?Thereâs something wrong with the people from the Rising Dragon Academy! Why do they always say such things before fighting?
âThen letâs begin!â Huo Qing didnât want to waste any more time. These students from the Heavenly Phoenix Academy were his greatest enemies this year.
âCut the crap!â Ye Chen said unhappily. He had to hurry up and finish the fight so that he could accompany Xueâer.
Hearing this, Huo Qing was a little angry and directly used his strongest spiritual skill, âBlazing Cloud Mountainâ. An enormous mass of fire-attribute spiritual power pressed down on Ye Chen like a towering mountainâ¦
âAmazing! That should be your Huo familyâs most powerful heavenly spiritual skill!â a middle-aged man said to a man of the same age beside him in the VIP seats.
âYes, only geniuses like Qingâer are qualified to learn this spiritual skill, and ordinary geniuses arenât allowed to use it,â the middle-aged man said with a face full of pride. Qingâer was the most outstanding child of their Huo family this generation and his pride at the same time.
âThat Ye Chen is also very mysterious. I wonder who will win this battle,â another middle-aged man said curiously.
âBy the way, Brother Ye, isnât Ye Chen from your Ye family?â He turned to the taciturn middle-aged man in black beside him.
The man in black pursed his lips tightly and said with a serious expression, âHeâs from a side branch of our Ye family.â
This damn bastard from a side branch actually dared to injure my son! Moreover, his talent is higher than my sonâs. I canât let Ye Chen live, or he might become a threat to my son in the future.?The black-clothed man pondered in his heart and already had the desire to kill Ye Chen.
The people in the VIP seats were harboring different thoughts. Leng Ruoxue, who was below the stage, watched as the massive fire-attribute spiritual power pressed toward Freak. She was also a little worried. She could feel the pressure of the spiritual power below the stage, not to mention Freak on the stage. She didnât know if Freak would be able to deal with it⦠As she thought about this, her heart couldnât help clenchingâ¦
