In
the rest area.
Xiao Wu squatted on the ground, resting her head on Ye Qiu's lap, her round, large, crimson eyes smiling.
"Great! They didn't forfeit! Looks like we can play another round!"
"Hmph, Sister Xiao Wu, don't be too happy yet. Brother might go on stage himself."
Xiao Lan, eating snacks nearby, couldn't help but remind her.
"Haha. If you want to play, there'll be more during the qualifying rounds."
Ye Qiu patted her head and chuckled.
"That's right! Then it'll all be one-on-one battles. Sister Xiao Wu's cultivation is so high, she can definitely take on seven opponents at once!"
Xiao Wu raised her fist.
"Ouch! Xiao Wu! You hit my head!"
Ning Rongrong, resting her head on Ye Qiu's other lap, suddenly cried out in pain, raising her head and rolling her eyes at Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu giggled,
"Hehe! Sister Xiao Wu didn't even use any force. If it really hurts, you can ask Jiang Zhu, Ling Ling, and Xiao Qiu to fix your brain, right?"
"And Xiao Lan, Xiao Lan can also help Sister Rong Rong fix her brain!"
Xiao Lan held up her sticky hand and said with a smile.
Ning Rong Rong was annoyed and said coquettishly,
"Enough! Can't you talk properly? My brain is fine, I don't need fixing."
"Pfft hahaha"
Liu Erlong and the others couldn't help but burst into laughter.
The surrounding participating teams were also attracted by their laughter.
On the Blue Tyrant Academy team's side, there was laughter and chatter.
Not far from them, a group of young girls were watching them.
"Big sister, look, Ye Qiu from Blue Tyrant Academy is really handsome! His smile is so gentle. I heard that even the team leader is his woman." The one
who spoke was a girl with an oval face. She looked to be in her early twenties and had a petite figure.
Her short, dark green hair made her look very energetic.
She was Shui Yue'er from the Tianshui Academy team.
The girls beside her were all dressed in blue team uniforms; they were Ye Qiu's opponents, from Tianshui Academy.
The five elemental academies each had their own specific requirements for admission.
For example, the Elephant Armor Academy's admission criteria primarily required a weight exceeding 300 jin (approximately 150 kg). Secondly, there were requirements regarding their martial soul.
The other four elemental academies mainly focused on the characteristics of the martial soul.
For instance, Blazing Fire Academy required applicants to have a fire-attribute martial soul,
while Tianshui Academy naturally required a water-attribute one.
Among the five elemental academies, Tianshui Academy had the most stringent application requirements.
Besides water-attribute martial souls, they had several additional requirements:
First, they only accepted female students. Second, they only accepted beautiful women.
However, they also had a humane side.
Tianshui Academy was the only one among the five elemental academies open to commoners,
similar to Blue Tyrant Academy.
Therefore, all the team members from Tianshui Academy participating in this competition were not only all female students, but all were also beautiful.
Shui Yue'er appeared to be the youngest of the seven official team members, still carrying a touch of childishness on her face.
"Seventh girl, don't let your infatuation show on the field. If you hold back, I won't let you off the hook!"
a red-haired girl with an oval face teased.
"If Ye Qiu makes a move, whether I go easy on him or not, the result will be the same, right?"
Shui Yue'er looked in Ye Qiu's direction, also wanting to try what it would feel like to rest her head on Ye Qiu's lap.
The girl beside her laughed and said, "That's true, but you can't really go easy on him, can you?"
"How could I! Of course I have to perform well. To make Ye Qiu remember me, or even..."
Shui Yue'er said, a blush appearing on her face.
Ye Qiu's stunning good looks were so attractive to her; she had never seen a face so pleasing to her.
Moreover, with so many women, he must be excellent in every way, except for being a womanizer, there was no need to worry about his character.
As for being a womanizer
, Shui Yue'er could completely accept it, after all, she and Shui Bing'er were half-sisters.
She could totally understand a man having multiple wives.
"Alright, stop fooling around."
"The competition is about to begin. Blue Tyrant Academy is a tough opponent. From the preliminaries until now, they've only ever sent one person to fight. The other four academies of the Five Elements have all fallen to Ye Qiu alone, so we'll definitely have to give him a good beating later. Even if we lose, we'll still be defeated by our opponent!"
"If we avoid the fight, we'll be at a disadvantage in terms of momentum when we meet again in future matches. So, everyone must go all out in today's battle."
Compared to the previous two girls, this girl's voice was much calmer.
Among all seven participants from Tianshui Academy, she wasn't the oldest.
In fact, she, Shui Bing'er, might even be the youngest, as she looked to be under twenty.
But when she spoke,
the expressions of the other six girls noticeably softened, and their gazes towards her held a hint of respect.
Shui Bing'er was about 1.65 meters tall, with a very well-proportioned figure, neither exaggeratedly plump nor petite.
Long, light blue hair cascaded down her back, her fair face adorned with delicate features. At first glance, she didn't seem particularly stunning, but upon closer inspection, her beauty became increasingly apparent.
It was a hazy, ethereal beauty.
"Of all the methods Ye Qiu is known to have, the most troublesome is his ability to become ethereal. Unfortunately, after defeating Thunder Academy, he's hardly made a move. I wonder what happened with that soul skill that made Huo Wu Yaoyang vanish into thin air?!"
Shui Bing'er looked at Ye Qiu in the distance, her face filled with seriousness.
Shui Yue'er suddenly pointed in the direction of Blue Tyrant Academy, exclaiming sweetly,
"Big sister, look! That woman Huo Wu has gone to find Ye Qiu again!"
"Haha. Seventh girl, are you already getting jealous? I told you, you could have gone directly."
"I...I..."
Shui Yue'er opened her mouth, but she wouldn't say it now.
Actually, her confession was already in the works.
...
The time for the final round of the competition was drawing ever closer.
In the direction of Blazing Fire Academy.
Huo Wu looked at Ye Qiu and the others, then at the Tianshui Academy team, her expression conflicted, even somewhat restless.
She gritted her teeth and got up to walk towards Lanba Academy.
Although she knew Shui Bing'er of Tianshui Academy well enough to know they would definitely choose the toughest opponent,
Huo Wu still wanted to go to Lanba Academy.
She wanted to talk to Ye Qiu and get him to take action personally; otherwise, Huo Wu feared the other girls would lose to Tianshui Academy—no, there was a high probability they would lose.
Their Chi Huo Academy hadn't even managed to break a single tooth from the Lanba Academy team.
Naturally, she didn't want her old rival, Tianshui Academy, to complete what she hadn't finished.
Anyway
, in any case, using this excuse to approach Ye Qiu was perfectly justified!
