Zhang Lexuan, who was standing behind Team Shrek, stood up. âYu Tianlong, donât try to take advantage of us like that. We are Shrek, an open-minded academy. We donât restrict our students. The Heavenly Dragon Sect is a sect. Do you think the conditions are fair in the bet you are suggesting?â
Yu Tianlong was stunned. He wasnât intentionally trying to take advantage of them. He was just being direct. âWhat do you suggest then?â
Zhang Lexuan said, âAlright, I shall make the decision for Qiuâer. If she loses, sheâll join the Heavenly Dragon Sect after she graduates. If you lose, youâll be her servant for three years. This is only fair.â
Yu Tianlong hesitated after hearing her words. He was the future sect leader of the Heavenly Dragon Sect! It would be too much for him to take if he lost.
Wang Qiuâer also opened her eyes wide after hearing Zhang Lexuanâs words. They were filled with surprise.
Yu Tianlong was close to her. When he saw her captivating eyes, he unwittingly said, âAlright, I agree.â
Wang Qiuâer was too beautiful. She was so beautiful that he couldnât help himself.
Wang Qiuâer stood up and turned her head to look at Zhang Lexuan, but Zhang Lexuan just nodded at her.
Wang Qiuâer was in a bit of a daze. She still clearly remembered what Zhang Lexuan had said to her before.

âQiuâer, you should know that you canât interfere in Huo Yuhao and Wang Dongâerâs relationship. There are good guys in this world. Why do you have to give up the entire forest for one tree? Thereâll be opportunities in the future. Iâll pull some strings for you.â
âEldest senior sister, why donât you find a guy for yourself, then?â
âI made a vow.â
--
With her intelligence, she understood why Zhang Lexuan had accepted this bet on her behalf.
Yu Tianlong was tall and burly. His looks were decent too, and his abilities were strong. He didnât seem to be inferior to Huo Yuhao at all. It was a pity that Zhang Lexuan didnât understand. Her relationship with Huo Yuhao wasnât so simple! There were things that couldnât be changed.
âEven if I win, you donât have to be my servant. Just end the match,â Wang Qiuâer said.
Yu Tianlong was stunned. As he studied Wang Qiuâerâs cold and indifferent look, there was a weird feeling in his chest.
In the Heavenly Dragon Sect, he was a leading figure who was respected by all. The colder Wang Qiuâer acted towards him, the greater his desire to make her submit to him grew.
In terms of overall abilities, Yu Tianlong didnât think his sect was inferior to Shrek. They might even be better. However, the Heavenly Dragon Sectâs problem was similar to Shrek Academyâs. As the team leader, his cultivation was far superior to those of his teammates. He was unsure of his teamâs chances in the group round. Although Shrekâs individual abilities werenât great either, they had shown two martial soul fusion skills during their last team round.
Those were martial soul fusion skills! One was a control-type, and the other was an assault-type fusion skill. Along with their weird time controller, Shrekâs team was indeed quite strong!
The Heavenly Dragon Sect wasnât confident of winning in the team round. Since this was the case, they should be more âgenerousâ. As long as they beat Wang Qiuâer in this round, she would join their sect in the future. When that happenedâ¦
As he finished thinking, Yu Tianlong revealed an arrogant smile on his face. âOkay, weâll do as you request. Weâll decide victory in this fight. If you win, weâll concede defeat. A man is always ready to give and take. So what if I become your servant? If you lose, youâll join us! Thatâll be fair.â
Yu Tianlong acted very manly. He was a straightforward person, and gave off a very mighty feeling.
Wang Qiuâer nodded at him before returning to her position and shutting her eyes.
One fight to decide it all?
When everyone in the resting area heard about this, they thought that it was a very childish arrangement. Both teams had toiled to reach this stage, but they wanted to end this semifinal match with just one duel? It seemed a little irrational. However, they also realized that it was a good method after thinking about it for a while. By using this method, this duel was likely to be very intense!
The staff members in the resting area went to report the decision to their higher-ups. It was the first time in the history of this tournament that such a simple but crude method would be used to settle the result in a semifinal round.
If they were any other teams, such a method was unlikely to be used. The rest of the teamâs members would likely reject the suggestion! However, Wang Qiuâer and Yu Tianlong held absolute authority in their respective teams. Their teammates wouldnât object.
One fight to decide it all!
Fierce!
------
It was time for the duel. On stage, Zheng Zhan walked out towards the center of the stage. He had just received the news. I canât believe they thought of this. Itâs good though. At least Iâll be under less pressure. I can prepare more for the semifinal match in the afternoon. Without a doubt, the clash between the Tang Sect and the Holy Ghost Church was the more important semifinal round.
âSemifinals, first round! Shrek Academy versus the Heavenly Dragon Sect. Competing members from both parties, please enter the waiting area!â Zheng Zhan shouted, as loud as ever. His voice echoed out through the sound-amplifying soul tool.
When only one member from each team appeared, the spectators were stunned. What was going on? Werenât there supposed to be seven members from each team?
Yu Tianlong and Wang Qiuâer didnât even enter the waiting area. They jumped up on the stage at the same time and walked out to Zheng Zhan, demonstrating their resolve.
Although Zheng Zhan had already received the news earlier, he was still shocked.
Theyâre really going to do it! Young people nowadays are really able to handle pressure. I wouldnât have dared to do this in the past.
âFirst semifinal round. Shrek Academy versus the Heavenly Dragon Sect. After discussions between both sides, theyâve decided to use a duel to determine the victor for this round! Shrek Academy and the Heavenly Dragon Sect will be sending their team leaders out to fight!â
When Zheng Zhan announced this strange arrangement, there was a huge commotion among the spectators.
However, there were only a few who were disappointed. Most people started to get very excited.
Xu Tianran and Ju Zi werenât the only ones guessing how this semifinal round between Wang Qiuâer and Yu Tianlong was going to pan out! Almost all the spectators were making the same guesses, especially Wang Qiuâerâs supporters.
The two teams were using a duel to decide the winner. This was undoubtedly very attractive to the spectators. It was the only way Wang Qiuâer and Yu Tianlong would be able to fight one another in their best condition. The winner would earn the title of the best dragon-type soul master in this tournament!
Although Bei Beiâs martial soul was also a dragon, he had rarely appeared in the previous rounds. His performances werenât very eye-catching, either. There were very few spectators who remembered him
âWang Qiuâer will win!â
Someone started shouting among the crowd. His voice made the spectators even more excited.
âWang Qiuâer will win!â
âThe Golden Dragon Lady will win!â
Hysterical screams soon engulfed the entire spectator stands. There were too many people who adored Wang Qiuâer. Wang Qiuâer was even given a scare by the huge soundwaves that echoed out. She hadnât known that she commanded such a respected position in the hearts of the Sun Moon Empireâs citizens. After all, she was representing Shrek Academy! Shrek Academy was the arch-enemy of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy!
It was unbelievable that she was so popular even under such a circumstance. Apart from her beauty and cold demeanor, her simple and brutally aesthetic fighting style captivated everyone.
Yu Tianlong didnât feel depressed because of all the shouting and screaming. Rather, a passionate gaze glowed in his eyes.
His thinking was evidently different from an ordinary personâs. Wang Qiuâerâs popularity only made him more even excited. He was thinking how great it would be if Wang Qiuâer could become his woman. The feeling of making everyoneâs goddess his woman wasâ¦
Finishing his train of thought, Yu Tianlong revealed a smile on his face. Just as everyone was cheering on his opponent, he smiled instead. Zheng Zhan thought it was a little weird, and couldnât help but shudder.
I really canât understand young people these days!

On the main stage, Xu Tianran looked a little gloomy. He was also very strong, and ruled the entire empire. He naturally had the same thought as Yu Tianlong, and might even be more extreme than him. However, he was tormented because he couldnât do anything even if he could make such a lady submit to him. This torment caused him to grab hard onto his wheelchair handle.
If he couldnât own it, then he would rather destroy it! Xu Tianran revealed a ferocious look in his eyes right then...
---
âBoth parties, please get ready.â
Since this was a duel, and both parties were already known to each other, Zheng Zhan skimmed over a lot of the administrative process. He opened his arms wide and pointed to the two sides of the stage.
Wang Qiuâer turned and walked away, her face still as cold as ever. Even though she was moved by the screams, she soon regained her composure.
While she was very cold, Yu Tianlongâs eyes were instead burning with excitement. A strong fighting will rose in his heart.
Wang Qiuâer was a tough character! To win her over, defeating her was the first step! If he couldnât even beat her in a duel, there wasnât any meaning to the other matters!
