Chapter 94 - You’ve Already Got Me (4)

“Princess? So what?” Leng Ruoxue looked up at the boy who told them the information. Why are there so many princesses in this world? I seem to meet these so-called princesses everywhere I go.

“Uh…” The boy didn’t know what to say after seeing their calm reactions. Moreover, this girl was so beautiful. He was so nervous that he didn’t dare to take a second look and could only return to his seat.

Leng Ruoxue and Ye Chen finished eating and returned to the competition venue. As soon as they returned, they received Elder Qiu’s glare.

“Where did you two go?” Elder Qiu growled.

“We were hungry, so we went to eat.”

“Y-you’ve gone too far!”

“Elder Qiu, food is everything to people. Of course, we have to eat when we’re hungry. How did we go too far?” Leng Ruoxue said in disapproval.

“Our academy is competing, yet you guys went to eat. Isn’t this too much?” Elder Qiu was fuming.

“Elder Qiu, calm down. You’re too nervous,” Ye Chen teased. This old man is quite cute.

“Miss, our match is over. Can we go back now?” Feng Da walked over and asked.

“Oh, then let’s go back!”

Just like that, Leng Ruoxue and the others ignored Elder Qiu’s scowl and returned to the Elegance Lagoon Pavilion.

The other two groups’ matches for the first round of the preliminaries were scheduled for the next day. Leng Ruoxue’s, Feng Moran’s, and Feng Da’s teams all successfully entered the second round. In addition, the teams from the Rising Dragon Academy and the Lunar Shadow Academy also entered the second round of the preliminaries without any suspense.

Over the next three days, two more rounds of preliminaries were held, and finally, ten teams advanced to the semifinals.

When the list of who advanced came out, Elder Qiu was so happy that he couldn’t close his mouth. All five teams from the Heavenly Phoenix Academy had advanced, while only three teams from the most powerful Rising Dragon Academy and two teams from the Lunar Shadow Academy had advanced to the top ten.

“Elder Qiu, congratulations.” Many elders came forward to congratulate him.

“We just got lucky,” Elder Qiu said modestly, but he was very pleased in his heart.

“Ruoxue, it’s really too enjoyable this time,” Elder Qiu said happily. Their academy had been suppressed by the Rising Dragon Academy for many years, and it had been a long time since they were so happy.

“Elder Qiu, it’s not the finals yet. Aren’t you a little too happy too early?” Leng Ruoxue said. This old man is a little too smug.

“Hehe, I’m just too happy!” Elder Qiu said, a little embarrassed.

“Let’s go back!”

…

After a two-day break, the semifinals officially began.

After drawing lots, the ten teams were divided into five groups, and the winner would advance to the finals.

The Heavenly Phoenix Academy was considered lucky, and its teams didn’t have to face each other. However, Lin Yuan’s and Huo Qing’s teams would be against each other.

“It’s okay. It’s just Huo Qing. I’m not afraid of him,” Lin Yuan said nonchalantly.

“That’s right. There’s nothing to be afraid of. His reputation is just a little better than ours,” Feng Da added.

“Elder Qiu, I told you he’s fine! Don’t worry,” Leng Ruoxue said. At this time, the more everyone cared about Lin Yuan, the greater his pressure would be.

“But…” Elder Qiu wanted to say something more but was interrupted.

“Old Man Qiu, Lin Yuan’s strength isn’t as good as Huo Qing. It’s reasonable if he loses. It’s not a big deal!” Leng Qingtian said. It was just a competition and not a battle of life and death.

The teams from the Heavenly Phoenix Academy entered the stage one by one, and Leng Ruoxue’s, Feng Moran’s, Mu Li’s, and Feng Da’s teams all won their matches. Only Lin Yuan’s and Huo Qing’s had yet to compete. Everyone’s attention was on the last two teams because everyone was curious whether the Heavenly Phoenix Academy could take the top five spots in the team competition after their outstanding performance so far. Or could the Rising Dragon Academy protect its last dignity?

The match between the two teams was as exciting as the fight for the champion and second place. Looking at the two teams on the arena, everyone couldn’t help but hold their breath for fear of missing any battle.

“You are very strong!” Huo Qing couldn’t help but say. He had always thought that Leng Ruohan was his greatest opponent, and he didn’t expect so many geniuses to emerge from the Heavenly Phoenix Academy this year.

“You are very strong too!” Lin Yuan said as he wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth. He was looking forward to the battle between this man and his young lady.

“Do you still want to continue fighting?” Huo Qing asked.

“Yes! We haven’t lost yet!” Lin Yuan said. Even though there was a gap in strength, they wouldn’t admit defeat easily.

“Come on then!” Huo Qing admired his will and spirit.

Both of them used their unique skills, and the spiritual power on the stage dazzled everyone’s eyes. The two of them fought for dozens of rounds, and the stage completely became their battlefield. Everyone else was just background.

It was not until Lin Yuan used the last bit of his spiritual power and fainted that the match ended. This should be the most difficult battle since the start of the competition. Lin Yuan’s team might have lost, but it was a glorious defeat. No one dared to look down on him. Although Huo Qing’s team won, it was a tragic victory.

“Who asked you to work so hard? Do you want to die?” Leng Ruoxue said unpleasantly while looking at Lin Yuan, who had woken up after being carried off the stage by his teammates.

“Miss, I’m sorry. I was wrong!” Lin Yuan saw that Leng Ruoxue was angry and quickly admitted his mistake. He knew that he had made his young lady worry.

“Eat this.” Leng Ruoxue threw a pill to Lin Yuan and then ignored him.

After the matches, everyone returned to their residences. On the way, Lin Yuan kept sneaking glances at Leng Ruoxue. But she didn’t even look at him, completely ignoring him.

After a day of rest, the finals of the team competition officially began. The finals would be a round-robin system to determine the final score.

“Dear guests and students, today is the last day of the team competition. The champion of the team competition will be born after today. Let us all wait and see!” After the host stirred up the emotions of the audience, the day’s matches began.
