He Xie left the grove and walked towards the waiting area.
An Ruoli chased after him, grabbed his hand, and said humbly, "Please give me a chance."
He Xie ignored An Ruoli and simply shook off her hand.
Whatever your reason.
I don't care what your reasons are.
Once you've broken up, you've broken up. Why are you still clinging to the past?
Not to mention, I didn't even touch you when we were talking.
I haven't even touched his hand!
These days, there are delinquent girls to nourish love and vixens to stimulate desire; that's enough.
He Xie quickly returned to the waiting area, not daring to linger with An Ruoli on the school road for too long.
To avoid accidentally being seen by a delinquent girl, who might then explode in anger.
With that kind of passionate and fiery personality, she's not so easy to appease afterward.
As He Xie approached the back door of the waiting area, a voice suddenly came from behind him.
"He Xie, are you going home this weekend? If so, would you like to come over for dinner?"
He Xie turned around following the sound and saw Wen Xiuwen wearing a tracksuit, who looked very sunny and lively.
Seeing that He Xie did not respond immediately, Wen Xiuwen added, "I haven't thanked you yet for taking me home last time. I don't like owing people favors."
He Xie laughed and said, "Your best friend is not far behind you. Aren't you afraid she'll break off all ties with you right here and now, flirting with me in front of her?"
Upon hearing this, Wen Xiuwen's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately looked behind what He Xie had said.
And lo and behold, An Ruoli really was there!
Wen Xiuwen felt incredibly guilty, but still pretended to be calm and said, "What do you mean by breaking off relations? You're not her boyfriend anymore, so I can flirt with you however I want."
He Xie smiled without saying a word, then turned and walked into the waiting area.
Not long after, An Ruoli came over.
She looked at Wen Xiuwen beside her and asked, "When did He Xie ever take you home?"
Wen Xiuwen: "Last semester."
An Ruoli: "Why would he take you home if nothing was wrong?"
Wen Xiuwen: "Because we are friends."
An Ruoli: "You like him?"
Wen Xiuwen: "Why are you asking so many questions?"
An Ruoli remained silent for a moment, then said, "If you like him, go for it. It's your right, and you don't need to consider my opinion."
After saying that, An Ruoli walked into the waiting area.
As Wen Xiuwen watched her departing figure, she wondered for a moment if she had misheard.
What did An Ruoli just say? She told me to go after He Xie if I liked him? Is this really her?
What does this mean?
Do you not consider me a rival?
You're just an ex-girlfriend I never even held hands with, what's with all the swagger?
Wen Xiuwen inadvertently over-interpreted An Ruoli's words and felt very angry, so angry that she wanted to send An Ruoli a WeChat message right now to say that she wanted to break off their friendship.
......
As time ticked by, the second round of the competition soon began.
When it came time for matchmaking, many people in the waiting area had changed their mindset.
At first, I hoped to be matched with He Xie and An Ruoli, two experienced players, but now I'm praying that I won't be matched with these two incredibly talented newbies.
"Grass!"
Suddenly, someone in the waiting area cursed.
He is a third-year senior student from the all-around class.
He was matched with He Xie and sent the message.
On the other side, Zhang Weidong, who was matched with An Ruoli, immediately approached her with a smile and said, "Junior Sister An, it's really fate that we are opponents in the second round."
An Ruoli did not respond, and did not even glance at him.
After nearly a year of getting to know him, she now knows what kind of person Zhang Weidong is.
He's a scumbag with no moral compass!
Seeing that An Ruoli ignored him, Zhang Weidong still had a smile on his face and wisely avoided humiliating himself, so he turned to flirt with another girl in the waiting room.
However, what he was thinking at that moment was: "What's with the act of being aloof? She's probably just a slut who acts all high and mighty in public but is a wanton slut in private. Wait until the National University League, and I'll make you beg me to sleep with you!"
Unlike him, An Ruoli was thinking that once she went on stage, she would cripple this Teddy who only thought with his lower body.
"Please welcome the two contestants for the first match, He Xie from the 22nd All-Around Class and Luo Yongqing from the 20th All-Around Class, to the stage to prepare!"
Soon, the referee's voice rang out from outside.
Upon hearing this, He Xie got up from his seat and walked slowly towards the arena outside.
As he passed by An Ruoli, she said in a very obsequious tone, "Good luck."
He Xie ignored her and walked straight out the door.
Meanwhile, Luo Yongqing, a third-year student, was called aside by Qiu Zilu, the student council president, who wanted to give him some instructions.
Qiu Zilu: "When you go on stage later, don't rush to admit defeat, and don't take the initiative to attack. Please be sure to adopt a defensive strategy. I need to gather more information about He Xie."
Luo Yongqing: "How can I defend like this? If I don't admit defeat as soon as I step onto the stage, I'll end up like Xu Yong'an!"
Qiu Zilu: "Just do your best to defend. After this is done, I will elect you as the next vice president."
Luo Yongqing: "Okay, you said it."
After a brief exchange, Luo Yongqing finally stepped onto the ring at the referee's urging.
Facing He Xie standing in front of him, Luo Yongqing, a senior student, couldn't help but feel a little flustered.
It's not that he was a coward; it's that He Xie was too aggressive in the first round, punching Xu Yong'an so hard he was sent flying and unconscious on the spot.
Once both contestants were on stage, the referee immediately asked, "Are you ready, contestants?"
"alright."
"Ready."
"Alright, let the duel begin!"
As soon as the referee finished speaking, Luo Yongqing immediately unleashed his full power, using his Qi and blood to envelop his entire body, forming a three-dimensional protective shield surrounded by Qi and blood.
In the time to come, he will play the role of a turtle and take the beating, and will never take the initiative to attack!
He Xie glanced at him and knew what he was up to, because He Xie had overheard his conversation with Qiu Zilu in the waiting area.
"Bang!"
He Xie didn't move at all. Instead, he focused his spiritual energy and formed an invisible hand, which directly slapped Luo Yongqing off the stage.
After Luo Yongqing collapsed to the ground and passed out, he leisurely jumped off the ring and walked towards the waiting area.
It was only then that the people present belatedly exclaimed in surprise.
"What happened? How did that senior student from the all-around class suddenly fly out?"
"Holy crap, this is a ghost!"
"Mental projection, it must be mental projection!"
"My God, cultivating both spirit and blood, and being top-notch in both, this is simply heaven-defying!"
"Is this something a mortal could do? He must be a transplant recipient!"
"......"
The entire stadium was bustling with activity. Everyone was shocked and amazed by the exuberant spirit He Xie had just displayed.
Especially the important figures in the leadership seats, all of them had an expression of disbelief on their faces.
The strength that He Xie just displayed is unprecedented and unparalleled among freshmen in universities across the country. It's too exaggerated!
Many leaders who were on good terms with the Dawn Organization quietly took out their phones and secretly recommended He Xie to the leaders of Shanhai Evolution University, trying to poach talent from the university.
[The contrast values from the audience are +8787 +8766 +5578 +6778 +8665...]
......
In the waiting area.
When He Xie walked in from outside, everyone inside looked at him as if he were a monster.
Everyone was puzzled. We're all human, so why is it that you're so outrageous?
If you're already this amazing in your freshman year, what will you be like in your junior and senior years?
Qiu Zilu, in particular, felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.
Having always been the best person around him since childhood, he suddenly lost his confidence in winning when facing He Xie.
As for Chen Peilin, with whom she had a past grudge, she appeared calm at this moment.
She has already decided that if she is unfortunately matched with He Xie in the future, she will not even go on stage and will simply abstain.
Not long after, the second match began.
It was Chen Peilin facing off against an all-around senior from the class.
This all-around student was quite famous in the school because she was the only girl in the top ten of the list of the top 100 students, a girl named Qin Peishan.
The difference in their abilities is too great; Chen Peilin will undoubtedly lose this duel.
However, He Xie didn't want her to lose, so he decided to give her a little help...
......
"Are you two ready?"
The referee, whose biological level was as high as Epic Tier 2, asked Chen Peilin and Qin Peishan on the stage.
The two women said in unison:
"alright."
"Ready."
Upon hearing this, the referee raised his right hand high and then quickly brought it down, shouting, "The duel begins!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the two women simultaneously charged at each other.
Chen Peilin, who was at a disadvantage in terms of strength, was thinking of taking the initiative to make up for her disadvantage.
Qin Peishan, who had the upper hand, wanted to finish the battle quickly to avoid any unforeseen complications.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Qin Peishan found her body becoming heavy, as if she were being stuck by some tentacle-like thing, which greatly reduced her flexibility.
Chen Peilin noticed that something was wrong with her, but she didn't dwell on it too much, thus missing this hard-won opportunity to attack.
Instead, taking advantage of the moment when Qin Peishan's body stiffened, he gathered all his blood and energy into his right leg and then kicked hard at Qin Peishan's waist.
Qin Peishan tried to dodge, but felt her body was too heavy to avoid it, and was kicked off the stage by Chen Peilin with a thud.
Upon seeing this result, a commotion immediately erupted at the scene.
"What the hell? Qin Peishan, who was known as the number one female student at Shandong University, was defeated in the second round by an underdog with a single kick?"
"What's going on today? Why are there so many instances of the underdog overthrowing the superior?"
"Damn! Is this match scripted?"
"You dog of a bookmaker, I'm your father!"
"An investigation is necessary!"
"......"
In the audience, everyone gradually realized that something was wrong.
Qin Peishan's defeat was too bizarre and unreasonable, causing many gamblers in the audience to lose their temper and shout at the leaders' table, demanding a thorough investigation after the match.
The senior leaders on the leadership panel all wore solemn expressions.
Qin Peishan's defeat was suspicious, and they could all sense it.
The problem is, they had no clue where this problem lay.
Was there any third-party intervention?
However, there was absolutely no sign of anyone making a move.
I didn't sense any fluctuations in mental energy.
Was the contestant paid to act?
But what's the point?
As the top female student at the Mountain and Sea Evolution University, Qin Peishan had absolutely no reason to cooperate with some shady shills.
That's weird, so weird!
......
In the waiting area.
The senior students, led by Qiu Zilu, were all dumbfounded.
Qin Peishan actually lost?
And he lost to a sophomore girl?
How is that possible!
They were all unwilling to believe the result, but they couldn't find an explanation for it for the time being.
The truth behind Qin Peishan's loss in the duel.
In the entire stadium, probably only He Xie himself knew the truth.
Because he is the culprit who caused Qin Peishan to lose the duel.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to go to the restroom, he ran to a deserted place and used his biological abilities to transform into a colorless, odorless, invisible, and extremely low-profile mass of air.
Then it quietly attached itself to Qin Peishan, slightly restricting her movements, and easily caused her to lose the duel.
The whole process was done without anyone noticing, leaving no trace of any wrongdoing.
Although this was very unfair to Qin Peishan, He Xie had no choice but to resort to this tactic in order to be matched with Chen Peilin in this school competition.
As compensation, he would secretly send Qin Peishan several bottles of Qi and Blood Pills and Nourishing Spirit Pills after the match.
Qin Peishan's loss was just a minor incident and did not affect the normal progress of the competition.
As time went by, the second round of competition quickly came down to just the last group.
And this pair is An Ruoli versus Zhang Weidong.
Because An Ruoli is a freshman and a very beautiful girl, this match has generated a lot of buzz.
Almost everyone in the stadium was glued to the ring; no one was looking down at their phones, afraid of missing a single moment.
"Are you two ready?"
On the stage, the referee looked at the two and asked.
The two answered in turn:
"alright."
"Ready."
Upon hearing this, the referee immediately gave the order: "The duel officially begins!"
"Buzz—"
Less than a second after the referee's voice fell, Zhang Weidong's body instantly transformed into a blur as he rushed towards An Ruoli. His speed was so fast that it was almost invisible to the naked eye, and many people on the scene didn't even have time to react.
To deal with An Ruoli, who possesses strong mental power, the key is speed; you have to catch her off guard.
Don't give her the opportunity to express her emotions!
However, Zhang Weidong greatly underestimated An Ruoli's strength.
From the moment Zhang Weidong stepped onto the stage, he was already under the influence of An Ruoli's mental power, unknowingly trapped in an illusion.
So, with this preemptive charge, he rushed straight off the stage.
Moreover, he happened to crash into a stone pillar about half a person's height, hitting him squarely in a vital spot, causing him to faint on the spot from the pain.
Everyone present was deeply moved by this scene.
In the first round, An Ruoli used this move to instantly kill a senior student from the Qi and Blood Academy, which everyone thought was somewhat reasonable.
But now, An Ruoli has actually used the same method to instantly defeat a senior student from the all-around class, which is quite intriguing.
Everyone is speculating that An Ruoli must be a transplant recipient.
Her eyes must be something special!
At this moment, some people in the scene harbored malicious intentions towards An Ruoli, coveting her eyes that occasionally emitted a purple light.
Little did they know, An Ruoli was not the transplant recipient, but a flower fairy with her own illusionary abilities.
Half an hour later, the third round of the competition began.
The large screen above the arena was now displaying the matchmaking for the third round of the competition, under the watchful eyes of everyone present.
A moment later, the first matchup that popped up on the screen was:
— He Xie vs. Chen Peilin.
