In the Heaven Dou Academy rest area, Zhu Zhuqing's gaze drifted toward the Star Luo Royal Academy's direction, her eyes filled with determination.
"Sister Dugu, for this next match, please make sure you let me go on stage!"
She wanted to personally break the Family destiny that had once suffocated her on this stage under the gaze of thousands.
Dugu Yan saw the unquestionable resolve in her eyes. A hint of understanding flashed across her own as she nodded without hesitation.
"Alright, I promise you!"
Having known her for so long, everyone understood Zhu Zhuqing's identity and background. They all smiled and said, "Zhuqing, in a moment, let your sister see just how strong you are now."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded seriously, her eyes carrying a hint of eagerness.
Shortly after, the first match officially began.
Although Heaven Water Academy was not weak, there was still a massive gap between them and the Spirit Hall Team.
In just a single exchange, only Shui Binger and Xue Wu were left struggling to hold on for Heaven Water Academy.
However, even when the two of them performed their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, it only caused a bit of trouble for the Spirit Hall Team, failing to even force out their trump cards.
After the match ended, the leading teacher of Heaven Water Academy, Xue Feng, rushed to the Heaven Dou Academy rest area with a look of anxiety.
"The Spirit Hall Team was too ruthless. The children are all heavily injured now. I ask Chief Yang to lend a helping hand."
Xue Feng remembered that Yang Yuan had a method with healing capabilities even more exaggerated than the Nine Heart Begonia, so she came over the moment the match ended.
"Alright!"
Yang Yuan did not hesitate at all and nodded slightly.
Taking advantage of the fact that the second match hadn't started, he immediately stood up and followed Xue Feng to the Heaven Water Academy rest area.
Upon arriving, a heavy scent of blood wafted toward him.
The members of Heaven Water Academy were lying scattered about. Aside from Shui Binger, who was barely maintaining consciousness, the other six had actually fallen into comas. Their faces were deathly pale, and their bodies were covered in numerous gruesome wounds.
It could only be said that Spirit Hall was truly adept at being strict with others while being lenient with themselves.
At this time, Bibi Dong wasn't saying anything about disqualifying the Spirit Hall Team.
Shui Binger sat on a chair, her originally peerless and elegant face now completely devoid of color.
However, when she saw Yang Yuan approaching, a spark of light instantly lit up in her ice-blue eyes, and her weak voice carried a hint of excitement.
"Chief Yang, you're here..."
"That's really wonderful!"
With Chief Yang here, her sisters would definitely be fine.
Yang Yuan nodded to her, signaling that she didn't need to say more.
Time was a bit tight, so he didn't waste any words. A divine light flashed within his left eye.
The next second, a gentle white light containing a majestic Life Force Power shot out from his left eye, enveloping all seven members of Heaven Water Academy in the blink of an eye.
Once the white light entered their bodies, the effect was immediate.
"Mmm~"
An extremely soft moan escaped uncontrollably from Shui Binger's mouth.
The moment she moaned, her fair, pretty face instantly became incredibly hot. She subconsciously looked at Yang Yuan, her expression bashful.
At this moment, she felt extremely embarrassed to have made such a sound in front of Yang Yuan.
However, that feeling just now was truly comfortable!
But immediately after, Shui Binger was shocked to find that all the injuries on her body had actually healed in that brief instant.
Her current state was even a bit better than it had been before the match.
It must have been because of that strange energy just now.
Aside from Shui Binger, the eyelashes of the other members of Heaven Water Academy fluttered as they woke up one after another.
They were confused at first, but when they felt that their injuries had healed, looks of surprise appeared on their faces.
However, seeing Yang Yuan standing in front of them, they immediately realized what happened and said excitedly, "Chief Yang, it must have been you who healed us just now, right?"
Yang Yuan smiled and nodded.
The girls were instantly excited, chirping away to express their gratitude to him.
"Chief Yang, you're truly amazing. We were so heavily injured before, and now we're all better."
"Exactly, I feel like my current state is even better than before."
"Heehee, it's a pity Chief Yang doesn't have his eye on me, otherwise I would definitely offer myself to him in gratitude."
"Brother Yang Yuan, do you still need a personal maid to warm your bed? Do you think I'm suitable?" Shui Yueer said with an infatuated look.
The members of Heaven Water Academy chatted and laughed, appearing incredibly cheerful.
At that moment, the bell for the start of the second match rang. Yang Yuan gave a slight nod to Shui Binger and the others.
"Alright, I should head off!"
"Safe travels, Brother Yang Yuan. What I said just now is valid forever!"
Shui Yueer shouted loudly.
Yang Yuan shook his head with a smile and turned to leave.
After he left, the Heaven Water girls looked at Shui Yueer and began to tease her with smiles.
"You greedy girl, you sure have beautiful dreams."
"Exactly. Look at you, no chest and no butt. Even if Chief Yang needed a bed-warming maid, he probably wouldn't pick you."
Shui Yueer looked down, saw her toes at a glance, and immediately puffed out her cheeks.
Fine, her sisters had poked her right in her sore spot.
Soon, the match began.
The Heaven Dou Main Team's opponent, Star Moon Academy, was the winner of the Star Luo Empire region's Promotion Round. The team was quite strong, with a total of four Spirit Ancestors.
But unfortunately, they were facing the Heaven Dou Main Team!
Before the fight even started, their morale plummeted to rock bottom the moment they saw Yang Yuan standing there. They could only display sixty to seventy percent of their strength.
In the end, Yang Yuan still did not make a move.
Shi Yue and the other five, relying on the power of their Formation, achieved victory after a fierce battle with Star Moon Academy.
Next was the final match of the fourth round.
The Heaven Dou Vice Team versus Star Luo Royal Academy!
As the two teams stepped onto the arena at the same time, the atmosphere instantly became solemn.
Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuyun, the two sisters, looked at each other from across the stage.
Looking at her younger sister opposite her, whose gaze was resolute and whose face had already lost some of its childishness, an extremely complex emotion flashed through Zhu Zhuyun's eyes.
There was sentimentality, nostalgia, and a hint of imperceptible relief.
Suddenly, she gave a light laugh.
"Sister, long time no see!"
Zhu Zhuyun's gaze was cold as she said flatly, "It has been a long time. But seeing that I'm still alive, you must be very disappointed, right?"
Zhu Zhuyun sighed: "If you were still with that playboy Dai Mubai, then I would indeed be very disappointed. But now..."
"Seeing you as you are now, I am very happy!"
Zhu Zhuyun was stunned. From Zhu Zhuyun's expression, she did not see any hypocrisy.
In fact, as early as the previous matches when Zhu Zhuyun saw that Zhu Zhuqing was not on the same team as Dai Mubai, she already knew her sister's choice.
This also caused the stone in her heart to quietly settle a bit.
"This is for the best," Zhu Zhuyun whispered to herself. "At least... we sisters don't have to fight to the death anymore."
No one knew that back when Zhu Zhuqing fled Star Luo, although she was hunted all the way, she always managed to turn danger into safety at critical moments precisely because her older sister was secretly pulling the strings.
Otherwise, how could a Spirit Grandmaster under the age of twelve cross thousands of miles to escape into Heaven Dou territory while being hunted?
It was because Zhu Zhuyun had never thought of killing Zhu Zhuqing!
To the side, Dai Weisi's gaze lingered on Zhu Zhuqing for a moment, his tone carrying a hint of mockery:
"That kid Dai Mubai really is a waste. He can't even keep an eye on his own fiancée."
That said, Dai Weisi also breathed a sigh of relief internally.
Dai Mubai's talent was higher than his; he was only temporarily leading by virtue of being a few years older.
If Zhu Zhuqing stood firmly by Dai Mubai's side, it really wouldn't be certain who would win in the future.
But now, with Dai Mubai alone, he absolutely could not threaten his throne.
At this moment, the referee gave the order:
"Match—Begin!"
