"Guess what?" Longyue blinked, her gaze sweeping over those who were listening intently, before she smiled.

Li Hei stared intently at Longyue. Longyue's confidence was dazzling, like the bright moon in the sky, making him feel utterly out of reach.

His steps, which had been aimed at her, unconsciously halted. He admitted that he was not good enough for her.

Although Li Hei didn't know what Longyue's current strength was, he knew that she was at least a martial artist in the Fusion Realm, while he himself had not yet reached the Fusion Realm and was only at level ten.

Don't be fooled by the fact that you're just a little short of breaking through; you don't know how much effort it takes to achieve that.

Li Hei felt a pang of sadness, but also a great deal of pride. This was the girl he liked—exceptionally talented, outstanding enough to surpass 90% of humanity.

Yes, I like it.

Li Hei only now realized his feelings for Longyue. That desire to attract her attention, to be with her, and to stay by her side was love.

Whenever Li Hei saw her standing next to that man he had to admit was outstanding, he couldn't help but feel envious and jealous.

Later, after Longyue and that man were eaten by the monster, Li Hei felt extremely heartbroken and was completely distraught. If he hadn't been restrained by his teammates, he probably would have jumped into the sea.

"Sister!" Liang Yi, as always, moved closer to Longyue, his baby face looking incredibly cute when he smiled.

"Hey sis, I think you've gotten taller!"

Liang Yi circled around Longyue twice, then asked.

"I think so too." Longyue gave a half-hearted answer, after all, she couldn't deny that the real reason for this topic was right.

"Oborozuki, let's spar when you have time!" Li Tiangen rubbed his wrists, his whole body filled with eagerness. He wasn't a warmonger, he just wanted to know Oborozuki's current strength.

"Me too, I'm coming too." Gao Tianqi, this big guy, chuckled. He looked rather simple-minded, and in fact, he was quite simple-minded, but he was really good to Longyue.

"Don't forget me!" Qian Duoduo loved sparring the most. "How could you forget me for something like this?"

"I……"

Li Hei smiled as he saw everyone in the group getting along well. Actually, this is a good thing, isn't it?

No matter who Longyue likes or who she ends up with, he will always stand behind her, silently supporting and helping her.

However, before that, what he needs to do is to improve his strength as much as possible, and ideally stand with Oborozuki.

Mark looked at Li Tiangen's group, which was all smiles and harmony, and a hint of hostility appeared in his eyes.

He should have been included there, but it was because of their unfairness that he ended up in this situation. It was all their fault, they were the ones who caused it.

"Let's go!" Not wanting to see such an eyesore, Mark led his squad away.

He needs to make thorough preparations for the competition, as for Li Tiangen and the others, let them do whatever they want!

"Hmph, finally gone." Qian Miaomiao looked at Mark leaving with a look of disgust. "I don't know what's wrong with Mark? He always has this long face, like everyone owes him money. He looks like he deserves a beating."

"Brother, you said martial artists don't have menopause, right? Why does he look like he's going through menopause to me?"

Qian Miaomiao stared at Mark's retreating figure, constantly complaining.

"Qian Miaomiao, I don't mind giving you a speech contest if you talk too much. With your silver tongue, I think you can bring me a championship."

Qian Duoduo glanced at Qian Miaomiao in a nonchalant manner and said.

"Brother, is he really your younger brother? Why do you always criticize me?" Qian Miaomiao was scolded again and became completely dejected.

"Brother, are you even my real brother?!"

"What? I'm not your brother, but you are?" Qian Duoduo completely ignored Qian Miaomiao's disappointment; this was mostly an act.

"Yes, yes, you're my brother! Even if I wanted to be your brother, I wouldn't dare." Qian Miaomiao touched her nose, her attempt to act pitiful had failed again. She couldn't help but think that maybe she should try acting cute next time, but she didn't know if acting cute with her brother would be effective.

Longyue chuckled and shook her head. All she could say was that Qian Miaomiao was a real character.

"Alright, let's all get ready. We're going to the main stadium for the competition this time, so everyone be careful."

Li Tiangen gave instructions, especially regarding some details. Although there were documents available, he was worried that some teammates might not have read them carefully, so he explained them to them again in detail.

Finally, Li Tiangen asked, "Do you understand everything?"

"Understood!"

"Alright, but I also want to tell you that the competition is not just an individual competition, there is also a team competition, but the official documents have not been issued yet, so you can just pretend you don't know."

After thinking for a moment, Li Tiangen shared what he knew, hoping to give everyone a heads-up.

"yes."

Upon hearing about the team competition, everyone's eyes flickered as they looked at their teammates, as if something was being passed among them.

That day, Longyue didn't go home, because they had to set off early the next morning, and going back and forth would be too troublesome.

Longyue sent a message to her teacher and his wife, telling them that she was resting at the martial arts school that night.

After a period of recuperation, Wang Jing's emotions have stabilized, and she is no longer awakened by nightmares at night. However, she still feels heartache and her eyes redden when she looks at Longyue occasionally.

Using her connections, Longyue also borrowed some men from Cangbai and sent Huang Guozhong with his men to Xiangcheng. The purpose of this trip was simply to send Huang Minxing back.
