The four who had been left behind exchanged glances and could only huddle together for warmth.
"These past two days of fighting have really taken their toll, but I didn't expect the leaders to be so considerate, even arranging time for us to rest," Liu Can said with a smile.
"Hmph, Liu Can, I didn't expect your strength to have regressed to this extent." Huangfu Ren snorted disdainfully, "If those little fire crocodiles can consume so much of your energy, you might as well give me your position on the rankings."
Liu Can turned to him with a cheeky grin and made a face: "I wonder who challenged me last time and got beaten up and had to be carried off the stage by the infirmary staff."
"You!" Huangfu Ren was speechless, his face turning bright red—he was furious.
Then, perhaps because Liu Can's words reminded him of a certain scene, the burly man's face instantly turned from red to black, and a low-pressure atmosphere enveloped his body.
Ruan Kongyin watched the scene with amusement and whispered to Jiang Wuyuan, "They were high school classmates and they were always comparing themselves to each other back then."
Han Zhaoqing was also their classmate, but he was closer to Liu Can and only so-so with Huangfu Ren.
Jiang Wuyuan raised an eyebrow: "You know quite a lot."
Ruan Kongyin raised an eyebrow, mimicking his gesture: "I went to the same high school as them, just one year below them."
"This world is really small," Jiang Wuyuan sighed silently.

The group from Zhan Tian Academy tacitly gathered together and directly occupied an area in the dilapidated city.
"The houses are so dilapidated that no one can live in them. We'll just have to make do with spending the night outside." Liu Can reached out and pushed open the half-closed door closest to him, only to find that the door was open—it had fallen to the ground.
"I think you're right." Huangfu Ren glanced at the door lying on the ground, broken into several pieces, and nodded in agreement.
Even with their cultivation levels, they wouldn't be injured even if the house collapsed and hit them.
But who wants to actually get smashed?
“We only have one day to rest, so find a place to rest and recuperate properly. Be careful not to stray too far from me and Huangfu Ren.” Liu Can was still very reliable at this crucial moment. He said with a serious expression, “Let’s try to get everyone back to their best condition before the finals begin.”
"yes!"
