"Dragon Academy is the winner of this arena battle!"
As the referee's voice faded, it was announced that Haozheng Academy had suffered a complete defeat, and Lu Yuan and the other two successfully advanced to the next arena battle.
"Truly worthy of being called a star!"
Cui Peng danced with excitement, rushing to Qiao Xingxing's side, completely transforming into a devoted fan.
Qiao Xingxing smiled at him, but her gaze unconsciously drifted towards Lu Yuan's direction.
Lu Yuan, seemingly still engrossed in his book, slowly got up and walked towards them.
His face showed no surprise or joy, as if he had already anticipated the outcome of the match.
Cui Peng noticed Qiao Xingxing's gaze and turned to look at her as well.
"This kid's so laid-back! He didn't even play a single game, yet he's acting like some old man!"
Cui Peng spoke with resentment, clearly dissatisfied with Lu Yuan's lack of self-awareness.
Qiao Xingxing simply watched Lu Yuan approach in silence before finally speaking.
"You've worked hard. Go back to the preparation room and rest for a while. You'll be participating in the next arena battle soon."
...
Ten colleges have qualified to participate in this joint examination.
Unlike individual battles, the number of points earned in arena battles is affected by the final ranking.
In other words...
They need to participate in multiple arena battles, and only by winning can they qualify for the next battle, until finally reaching the finals to select the ultimate champion.
As the top-ranked institution for many consecutive years, Longteng Academy's strength is naturally not to be underestimated.
Lu Yuan didn't even need to make a move.
With just Qiao Xingxing and Cui Peng, they fought their way to the finals.
"Hmph! As long as my brother takes the lead, victory will be ours!"
Cui Peng has just defeated his opponents by taking on three opponents at once, and he is now brimming with confidence.
"Have you forgotten when you were instantly defeated by Liu Yang from Haozheng Academy in the first match?" Lu Yuan said without even looking up from his book.
"..."
Cui Peng, who was full of confidence, suddenly choked up.
"You didn't even play a single game from start to finish, and now you have the nerve to mock me?!"
Lu Yuan completely ignored the anger in Cui Peng's tone and said calmly as usual, "I'm not mocking you, I'm just reminding you not to be too arrogant and complacent. Don't forget that pride comes before a fall."
"..."
Cui Peng had already rolled up his sleeves, ready to fight, but after hearing Lu Yuan's words, his momentum immediately deflated.
"Hmph! Of course I know such a simple truth, do you need to tell me?!"
Lu Yuan glanced up at him, raised an eyebrow with a half-smile, the meaning of which was self-evident.
"You're really infuriating!"
Cui Peng was so angry that his teeth itched.
If it weren't for the upcoming team battle, he would have definitely shown Lu Yuan why flowers are so red!
"Alright!"
Qiao Xingxing, who was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, suddenly spoke.
"Instead of arguing, let's use this time to rest. The next match is the final, so let's get ourselves in shape! To secure our final ranking, we need to strive for first place in the ring battle!"
Upon hearing Qiao Xingxing's words, Cui Peng immediately fell silent, sat on the sofa, closed his eyes to rest, and adjusted his state to prepare for the next final match.
Seeing that Cui Peng had quieted down, Qiao Xingxing turned her head and focused her attention back on the arena platform below.
Despite winning all three individual battles, Dragon Academy still needs to secure first place in the arena battle to ensure its continued dominance in the inter-school exams.
The two academies currently competing on the arena stage are Tiannan Academy and Ruifeng Academy. The winner will be their opponent in the next arena battle.
Regardless of who wins, the final will be a tough battle.
Especially the Sharp Edge Academy.
Although they have never clashed head-on so far, the aggressive fighting style of the Sharp Edge Academy makes her feel very uncomfortable.
Therefore, if possible, she does not want to fight against Ruifeng Academy.
However, given the current situation, it seems her plans are doomed to fail.
Tiannan Academy's overall strength is inferior to Ruifeng Academy's, and it has already lost two rounds in the arena battle.
and.
Because Zhang Tiannan, the strongest student in Tiannan Academy, lost to Lu Yuan in the individual battle, his beast tamer suffered a relatively serious injury. Even with the use of recovery medicine, he could not fully recover. Therefore, Tiannan Academy had no choice but to send a substitute student to the competition.
Now only the substitute student remains.
Qiao Xingxing did not believe that a substitute could take on three opponents alone.
really.
Just as Qiao Xingxing was analyzing the situation carefully, the arena battle had already ended.
Despite the substitute student's best efforts in defeating a representative student from Ruifeng Academy, he was quickly defeated in the second arena battle.
The entire battle was almost without any suspense.
"Damn it! If that kid from Dragon Academy hadn't seriously injured my Thunderstorm Saber-toothed Tiger, our academy would definitely have made it to the finals!"
Sitting in the audience, Zhang Tiannan grumbled and cursed, clearly blaming Lu Yuan for their failure to win.
"When the next team battle comes, I'm going to beat him to a pulp!"
Zhang Tiannan gripped the few bottles of high-level healing potions he had just obtained and fed them all to the Thunderstorm Saber-toothed Tiger.
He has bribed the teacher who is preparing the draw to ensure that he will face Dragon Academy in the team battle.
He wants to take revenge on Lu Yuan himself!
Regardless of the team's performance, that kid from Dragon Academy must be ruined!
Lu Yuan was unaware that Zhang Tiannan had already set his sights on him.
He put away the book in his hand, got up and went to the French windows, standing next to Qiao Xingxing.
"It seems that our opponent in the finals will be Ruifeng Academy."
"Yes! If I could, I really wouldn't want to go up against them."
Qiao Xingxing frowned and sighed subconsciously.
Despite the pleasant anticipation, she knew that a battle between Dragon Academy and Sharp Edge Academy was inevitable.
