Gu Xingmian felt that a long time had passed, but in the eyes of others, it was only a very short moment.

The hidden weapon brushed past Gu Xingmian's body and deeply penetrated into the wall behind him.

The next second, Xiao Qiong's arm crossed his body and said in a tense voice: "Are you okay?"

Gu Xingmian was still immersed in the vast night sky and the star map in the night sky. He was stunned for a long time before reacting: "I'm fine."

Eric directly rushed to Julian and got angry: "Julian, what do you mean! You can't afford to lose!"

Julian came back to his senses and his face was pale.

He looked at his hands. At that moment, he seemed to have entered the state of fighting where he forgot everything else that his predecessors had said. It is said that in this state, a person's fighting ability will be infinitely elevated.

He did feel this. He was sure that the auxiliary card just now would hit Gu Xingmian, but in fact, the card only grazed Gu Xingmian without even scratching his skin.

Why on earth was this? !

Compared to this, Eric's questioning was nothing.

Seeing that he was silent, Eric was so angry that he walked up to him and prepared to teach him a lesson, but who knew that there was someone faster than him.

Xiao Qiong had a cold expression on his face and punched Julian hard.

Julian reacted and dodged hurriedly, but Xiao Qiong's next punch came again, this time hitting Julian's cheek directly, and the powerful force directly deformed Julian's face.

Julian felt pain and raised his hand to block, but Xiao Qiong had already grabbed his shoulder, raised his knee, and hit him hard in the stomach.

Julian had no power to fight back under his hands, let alone enter the combat state, he didn't even have the chance to take out the auxiliary card.

Xiao Qiong's movements were like flowing water, but each hit the position accurately, which could be used as a physical training textbook.

The students around were so fascinated by it that they completely forgot about trying to stop the fight.

It was not until the teacher in charge came over that the two were separated.

At this time, Julian had been beaten so badly that he could not be seen in his previous state.

The teacher in charge was helpless: "Hey, what happened to you..."

Julian grimaced in pain, but in fact, there were not many injuries on his face, and it looked that he was not as seriously injured as Eric.

Because except for the first punch on his face, Xiao Qiong hit him in places covered by clothes, and used hidden strength. Although he looked fine on the surface, the injuries were all inside.

Julian pretended to be aggrieved and said to the teacher: "I was just angry after losing, so I wanted to scare his card, but he hit me so hard!"

The teacher looked at Xiao Qiong with some embarrassment.

There is a difference between inside and outside the competition. In the competition, everyone is fighting. As long as they don't hurt their lives, they will naturally go all out. But outside the competition, this is called fighting.

Xiao Qiong just glanced at him lightly: "Just want to scare people?"

Julian was stunned for a moment. He always felt that Xiao Qiong saw through his thoughts, but how did he know that his auxiliary card was aimed at Gu Xingmian, and the battle state is something that only the person himself knows, unless the opponent has entered the battle state like himself...

Julian was shocked by his own thoughts, and then he denied it again and again.

Impossible, impossible, the battle state is not a cabbage, how can you enter it whenever you want.

He relied on the fact that the auxiliary card did not hurt Gu Xingmian and refused to admit it.

Xiao Qiong looked at him deeply, and then said to the teacher: "I did hit him. If you want to punish him, it's up to you."

After that, he returned to Gu Xingmian.

Julian was pulled aside by his classmates. He looked at Xiao Qiong resentfully, but happened to meet Xiao Qiong's cold eyes. He was so scared that he quickly retracted his gaze and lowered his head, not daring to look at him again.

Now it was the teacher's turn to have a headache.

Xiao Qiong's team had just won the first place in the school selection. In the second half of the year, they would represent Mosca College to participate in the four-school league. It was a very popular time. How could he be punished at this time!

In the end, Song Nanting stepped in and briefly summarized the matter as a friendly exchange.

The teacher's mouth twitched. Although he arrived late, he saw that it was Xiao Qiong who unilaterally beat Julian. How could he say the words "friendly exchange" so gently and affectionately?

But there was really no better way, so he could only agree with this statement against his conscience.

Eric trotted to Xiao Qiong's side and quietly raised his thumb: "Boss! Well done! This bad guy should be taught a lesson!"

Fu Fenglin was a little worried: "This guy really deserves to be beaten, but after all, it happened in public, and Xingmian was not injured. Will it be bad..."

Just as he expected, some senior students were already whispering, thinking that Xiao Qiong was too domineering.

"Why are you so nervous? A UR card, can't it be that even such a supporting card can't be avoided?"

"It seems that Julian is right. After they win, we will really be trampled on by the prospective high school students..."

Eric and Fu Fenglin frowned at the same time.

Fu Fenglin originally thought that Xiao Qiong was too radical, but now he has stood on the same front with Eric.

Beat him! He deserves to be beaten! Beat him hard!

Xiao Qiong ignored them and just looked at the dazed Gu Xingmian. He was worried again. Could he be scared silly?

He knew how delicate his own cards were. They were afraid of pain, fatigue, and blood. Although the auxiliary card just now was crooked for some reason and didn't hit him, he must have been scared.

In the final analysis, it was all Julian's fault. He was too gentle just now!

Julian felt a chill in an instant, and the words of protest were stuck in his throat.

The teacher thought he was convinced by him and gave him a look that showed he was aware of the situation.

Julian: "..."

Damn it.

The results of the school selection were announced on the screen at the same time.

Although everyone can basically guess the final result after seeing Xiao Qiong and Song Nanting's team work together seamlessly and trick so many teams, it's just a little unbelievable.

This is probably the first time since the Mosca Academy started the internal selection that the two winning teams are both high school students!

Oh my! They can be said to have witnessed history!

Isaac was very proud. He looked at the senior student who had made a bet with him before and said in a long voice: "Senior, you are not going to default on your debt, are you?"

The senior student had a variety of expressions, but under the watchful eyes of everyone, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and give Isaac the money.

Isaac looked at the stack of star coins and was no longer so disgusted with Xiao Qiong's face on the screen.

He raised his star coins and said to his companions, "Thank you for your generosity, senior. We are going to have a big dinner tonight!"

"Great!" His companions said with a smile, "Thank you for the treat!"

The senior's face became uglier and uglier, and he said bitterly, "What's the use of winning! There has never been a precedent for prospective high school students to participate in the four-school league competition. The board of directors will never recognize this result!"

Isaac retorted, "Don't bother with the seniors."

He just turned his back. These prospective high school students were also a little uneasy: "What they said can't be true?"

Isaac frowned, "It's impossible. The rules of the school selection have been in place for many years. The winner goes, and we can't let a few of our subordinates lose."

"If it's according to the rules, there were no prospective high school students who participated in the school selection before..." someone whispered.

This statement seemed to weigh down the hearts of all the prospective high school students.

Isaac hammered the table: "No matter! If the school really does this, at worst we can go to the principal's office and the board of directors to protest!"

"Okay!"

...

As they worried, at this moment, such a debate was indeed going on in the principal's office.

A member of the board of directors said, "Everyone can see that among these prospective high school students, except for Xiao Qiong and Fu Fenglin, the others are not capable enough. The one named Song Nanting is even just an R-card card master. It is too risky to let such members participate in the four-school league competition. If they lose, we will all be responsible!"

"That's right! I admit that they won beautifully this time, but it cannot be denied that they relied on strategies, and these seniors underestimated the enemy. If they play another game, it is not certain who will win or lose. I think it is better to be safe."

"Anyway, no matter how bad we are, we can't be kicked out of the four major colleges. It's better to do it according to previous years and not make any achievements or failures. My old bones can't stand the torture..."

"Among the senior students participating in the school selection this time, there are several whose families are quite powerful. In this case, we might as well give the quota to their children, which can also be regarded as a favor!"

Principal Baker changed his usual amiable expression and said in a very serious manner: "The winners of the school selection go to participate in the four-school league. This is the traditional rule of the college. When we chose them to participate in the school selection, you also agreed."

The board members regretted it.

When Baker first proposed to let the prospective high school students participate in the school selection, they did oppose it, but Xiao Qiong's ability was obvious to all, and he had the only UR card in mainland China, so they finally agreed reluctantly.

After that, Baker recommended Song Nanting. They thought that she was an R card master and the other members were all temporary. They seemed to be there to make up the numbers. She would be suppressed in every way during the school selection. Baker, who recommended her, would have a handle to be attacked.

So the board of directors agreed very readily.

Who would have thought that in the end, they would be the ones who suffered a heavy loss.

Baker looked at the greedy calculations on their faces and became increasingly disappointed.

He certainly knew that it was too risky to let two teams of prospective high school students participate in the four-school league, but these people were only thinking about their own wallets and future and didn't care about the college at all. At

this moment, he finally made up his mind.

Some reforms should have been done long ago!

"No need to say more." Principal Baker said calmly, "No matter what the result of this four-school competition is, I will take full responsibility!"

The originally noisy board members suddenly quieted down.

Some people who were close to Principal Buckle wanted to persuade him, but Principal Buckle shook his head and said firmly, "I have made up my mind."

Someone took the responsibility, and the expressions of the board members immediately changed: "Cosmo, you know the affairs of this college best, so we won't interfere."

"At the critical moment, we still have to rely on you, the old principal!"

Buckle glanced at them with a smile, and they suddenly couldn't continue their flattering words. They said embarrassedly, "Then we won't disturb you at work, and leave first..."

However, when they opened the door, they found Dai Baiyu, Wright and other teachers standing outside.

Wright's face turned red with anger. He had heard some bad rumors about the college board of directors a long time ago, but he had never seen it with his own eyes. Today was really an eye-opener.

The board members were all a little embarrassed and left in disgrace.

Principal Baker sighed and said, "Come in." He then said to Dai Baiyu, "Major Dai, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

Dai Baiyu said in a deep voice, "I am also a teacher at Mosca College now. There is nothing to be embarrassed about."

Principal Baker then smiled, and the wrinkles on his face relaxed, returning to his usual expression: "Today, I invited all the teachers here so that we can concentrate on preparing for the upcoming four-school league."

"The winners this time are two teams of prospective high school students. To be honest, I didn't expect this beforehand, but maybe this is God's will. They are all good kids, capable and smart, but they still need to be tempered. This is up to the teachers."

Wright and the others suddenly became serious: "Principal, don't worry, we will do our best."

Principal Buckle waved his hand: "You don't have to worry, do your best and leave it to fate. Anyway, our Mosca College has been ranked last for many years, and there will be no room for regression."

He wanted to make a joke to liven up the atmosphere, but no one laughed.

Everyone knew that this was the deepest pain in Principal Buckle's heart.

Wright couldn't help but said, "Principal, we won't necessarily lose this time! Right, Instructor Dai?"

Dai Baiyu sighed helplessly, but nodded affirmatively: "Xiao Qiong is very capable. He can beat me with only auxiliary cards. And Song Nanting, she is not outstanding in individual battles, but as long as she is put in a team, she can maximize the strength of the entire team. These two people, one literary and one martial, are also the top ones among the people I have met. In the four-school league competition, our chances of winning are not low."

"In addition to them, we have a secret weapon."

Principal Baker asked with interest: "What is it?"

"UR card."

Dai Baiyu paused, "He has a strong affinity for all God Cards. This alone is unmatched by any SSR card. Moreover, so far, he has not yet demonstrated any abilities belonging to top-level cards."

"This will be our biggest variable and our strongest weapon!"

Gu Xingmian sneezed heavily.

Xiao Qiong looked at him worriedly: "I have to go back to the dormitory to change clothes and attend the evening banquet. The journey is a bit far. Do you want to enter my spiritual body and rest for a while?" Gu Xingmian's

mind is now full of thoughts about the star map that suddenly appeared when Julian attacked him.

And the hidden weapon that was originally aimed at him, why did it deviate from its trajectory in the end, brushing past him and hitting the wall? Is it related to the silver wire he was pulling?

He didn't notice what Xiao Qiong said at all, and shook his head absentmindedly.

Xiao Qiong became even more worried.

In the past, Gu Xingmian, who would rather lie down than sit, would have skillfully entered the spiritual body and lay down without him saying anything. He was

so abnormal today, and he was scared by that bastard Julian! !

Just when Xiao Qiong was secretly planning to put a sack on Julian tonight, Gu Xingmian finally came out of his own world, and was immediately frightened by the murderous look on his face: "What are you doing?"

After knowing what Xiao Qiong was going to do, Gu Xingmian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he couldn't help but feel a little touched in his heart.

After returning to the dormitory, he told Xiao Qiong about what he had seen the star map before.

Xiao Qiong frowned: "I've never heard of a star map..."

Gu Xingmian's expectant eyes dimmed.

Xiao Qiong couldn't bear to disappoint him, so he said: "You can see it once, maybe you can see it a second time."

As he spoke, he took out an auxiliary card, transformed it into a knife and handed it to Gu Xingmian: "Try it?"

Gu Xingmian took the knife, but he stared at it for a long time, his eyes were sore, the knife was still a knife, and no star map appeared.

Xiao Qiong changed the knife back to an auxiliary card, but it still didn't work.

Xiao Qiong thought it was the knife that didn't work, so he changed a new auxiliary card, but it still didn't work.

"What went wrong?"

Gu Xingmian thought carefully about the whole process of seeing the star map, and said uncertainly: "Maybe... it needs me to be in danger?"

The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was true.

At that time, the hidden weapon was clearly aimed at him, so he could see the star map.

He quickly pulled up Xiao Qiong: "Come on, let's try it!"

He walked to the other end of the room and motioned Xiao Qiong to throw a knife at him.

Xiao Qiong looked at his delicate face and hesitated: "You are afraid of pain and bleeding, so you don't want it?"

Gu Xingmian patted his chest: "It doesn't matter! Come on!"

Then, he heard a "whoosh" sound, and a knife brushed his scalp and stabbed into the wall.

"!"

Gu Xingmian was furious: "Can't you wait until I'm ready before throwing!!!"

Xiao Qiong: "Oh."

Gu Xingmian: "Again!"

"Swish!"

"Swish!"

"Swish!"

...

Soon, the flying knives thrown by Xiao Qiong almost pierced a Gu Xingmian outline on the wall, but Gu Xingmian still didn't react.

"This won't work!" Gu Xingmian said seriously, "You have to throw it at me!"

Xiao Qiong also became serious: "Are you sure?"

Gu Xingmian's heart began to beat, but in order to find his golden finger, he risked it.

Although he said so, looking at the silver-glowing knife in Xiao Qiong's hand, Gu Xingmian still swallowed his saliva in fear, forced himself to open his eyes, and then said: "Come... come on."

Xiao Qiong nodded, and the knife in his hand stabbed towards Gu Xingmian.

Gu Xingmian's clenched fist was already full of cold sweat. He stared at the knife that was getting closer and closer, and suddenly, that familiar feeling appeared again.

Time slowed down, and the black spread and turned into a thick night.

The knife turned back into a card, and then a star map slowly unfolded in front of his eyes.

But before Gu Xingmian could be happy, the star map flashed and disappeared.

Everything in front of him quickly retreated, the card turned back into a knife, and the night also retreated back to the scene of the dormitory.

Then he saw Xiao Qiong's shocked eyes.

Gu Xingmian blinked slowly, and then felt a sharp pain in his leg. He looked down subconsciously and saw the knife stuck in his thigh and blood gushing out from the wound.

Gu Xingmian's eyes rolled back and his body fell down softly.

In the last moment before he fainted, he only wanted to say one thing -

Xiao Qiong, your master! Is it necessary to be stabbed so honestly? !

The author has something to say:

Xiao Qiong: I almost lost my wife...
