“Hahaha! Look at the faces of the people sitting next to the shop owner!”

“Stupefied!”

[Definitely stupefied! This is the close-range combat skill! Royal Princess!]

After the first victory, Xi Qi and the other disciples of Class A felt great.

Looking at the scene on the big screen, Mu Hongzhu was also happy. However...

“She didn’t use a combat technique, right?” Mu Hongzhu asked in bafflement.

“Impossible!” The Second Prince looked at the combat field in astonishment. “She didn’t use a combat technique, right? She broke the Xi Wind Slash with her bare hands?!”

The old man sitting next to Mu Donglai was in deep thought. “This girl seemed to have dodged her opponent’s attack with extensive battle experience and accurate judgment.”

“Is it a part of the close-range combat skill?” Mu Donglai was also surprised. Although he had also expected Nalan Mingxue to win, he was surprised that she could win so easily.

“The close-range combat skill is supposed to be used like this,” Fang Qi explained, “At first, use a feint on the opponent. One must be nimble and clever to master this skill.”

The people around him asked, “What are close-range combat skills? What kind of technique is it?!”

They looked confused.

At this moment, most of the disciples of the three academies hadn’t recovered from astonishment.

“Impossible!”

“One attack?!”

“Junior Brother Huangpu, did you see her attack clearly?” A young man wearing a golden robe narrowed his eyes. Sitting next to him was Huangpu Jin, the No.1 Disciple of the Huang List from Shengjing Academy.

“Don’t worry, Senior Brother. I won’t be able to defeat her if we are on the same level, but I have hidden strength.” Huangpu Jin smiled confidently.

“Good.” The golden-robbed young man nodded. “Be patient. Allow her to gain more points before you challenge her. Challenge others first.”

“Got it, Senior Brother.”

In the sitting area of Lingyun Academy, Qin Bing snorted, “She didn’t disgrace our Lingyun Academy!”

At this moment, Xiyi Academy and Shengjing Academy began the second match.

“Jiang, after a few matches, go and challenge Bian Jie, the No.2 Disciple of the Earth House from Shengjing Academy. Nalan Mingxue finished the match too fast and didn’t show the power of the combat techniques of Lingyun Academy. You should show them to the audience.”

“Yes!” Qin Jiang bowed and said, “How about the Fifth Prince?”

“Now is not the right time,” Qin Bing chuckled, “If no one challenges him, I’ll send Ning Hao and Xue Yuan to challenge him for you and use up some of his energy. Then, you can go and challenge him.”

Qin Jiang nodded. After a few matches, he challenged the No.2 Disciple of the Earth House without hesitation. Obviously, he was confident that he could win this match.

Sure enough, he won it effortlessly.

“Lingyun Academy seems to be quite strong these years...” An old man sitting in one of the central viewing platforms stroked his beard.

“That’s because my elite students haven’t shown their hands yet!” The old man with the surname of Yu snorted, seeming dissatisfied with the disciples from his academy.

At this moment, an announcement resonated in the combat field, “Xiao Lengyu, the No.1 Disciple of the Xuan House from Shengjing Academy, challenges Wang Kun, the No.1 Disciple of the Xuan House from Lingyun Academy!”

“What?!”

“Xiao Lengyu?! Shengjing Academy?!” That young girl whom Fang Qi met on his way to Jingshi challenged the No.1 Disciple of the Xuan House from Lingyun Academy at this moment, which was a surprise to all the people present.

It must be noted that when two powerful disciples fought and consumed each other’s strength, they would be taken advantage of by a third one!

“Ugh? Isn’t she the girl whom I met on my way here?” Fang Qi looked at this girl and recognized her.

“This passerby girl looks strong.”

“What passerby girl?!” The people around Fang Qi asked while veins bulged on their foreheads. “She is the granddaughter of the Country-Protection Duke. She excels in spear techniques!”

“I’m Wang Kun from Lingyun Academy, and I accept your challenge!”

“I admit that Lingyun Academy did well in the previous matches.” The black-clothed Xiao Lengyu lifted the silver spear in her hand. “But those are all the victories that you get today!”

She waved the spear, and a powerful presence shot from the tip of her spear as a blinding chilly light, blowing up debris and dust!

The girl stabbed the spear forward with an overwhelming force!

“Fury Splitting Mountain!” Realizing that he was in danger, Wang Kun held his saber with both hands and used his best combat technique.

Instantly, two forces collided and created a huge noise!

Boom!

In the dust, a figure was sent flying backward.

“A chilly light appears first before the spear flies out like a dragon?” Fang Qi clicked his tongue. “This passerby girl looks powerful.”

[Why do you call her the passerby girl?!] The audience in the internet cafe didn’t understand why.

[This girl looks really powerful!]

[I root for you, passerby girl. As long as you don’t challenge any of the players of the internet cafe!]

“...”

“So strong! She used only one attack to defeat the No.1 Disciple of the Xuan House from Lingyun Academy!” Around the combat field, the disciples from the three academies exclaimed.

“I’ll fight the next battle.” At this moment, a golden-clothed young man walked out from the group of Shengjing Academy disciples.

“Next match! Ji Yang challenges Qin Jiang from the Earth House of Lingyun Academy!”

“What?! After Xiao Lengyu challenged Wang Kun, now the Fifth Prince is also confident in himself and wants to challenge one of the most powerful disciples in Earth House of Lingyun Academy?!”

Standing behind Qin Bing, Qin Jiang looked livid. “This is a blatant slight!”

– Five minutes later –

Ji Yang remained intact under Qin Jiang’s full force attack, and the pale golden warrior qi around him looked like an unbreakable barrier. Qin Jiang lost all hope.

“Ji Yang versus Qin Jiang! The winner is Ji Yang!”

...

“The next match! Ying Zongxuan, the No.1 Disciple of the Heaven House from Xiyi Academy, challenges Wang Zhishui!”

...

“The winner is Ying Zongxuan!”

“What?!” The other two academies’ unpredictable moves gained them victories easily without much consumption of strengths, which rendered Lingyun Academy’s plan of winning back the points futile.

Under their opponents’ fierce attacks, Lingyun Academy was the first to show signs of defeat! Most of the No.1 Disciples in the four houses got their points taken away!

The situation became bad for Lingyun Academy, and people in the audience began to talk among themselves.

“Lingyun Academy’s methods of training are too mild and old school.”

“It’s inevitable that they would lose.”

“Now that their No.1 Disciples lost the matches, the weaker disciples will lose soon!”

On the central viewing platform, an old man looked livid.

“Vice Academy Master Xu, those were good matches.” The other two vice academy masters looked smug.

Right now, three of the four No.1 disciples of Lingyun Academy had been defeated, and the only one left was Nalan Mingxue, the No.1 Disciple of the Huang House.

The good situation that Lingyun Academy was in suddenly changed.

Qin Bing’s face had also turned livid, and his gloomy face looked horrible!
