We're back to crush you. You didn't see it on the stage, but now you'll witness it.
Fen Tian leaped forward to block Min Zhiyuan, formed a hand seal, and a ball of red mist appeared before him. The mist churned and roiled, then exploded into a fireball. The fireball erupted again, and a sea of scorching flames surged towards Min Zhiyuan.
Seeing someone block him, Min Zhiyuan, in his rage, unleashed his killing move. He thrust his Qilin Arm forward, placed his head on it, and moved at extreme speed, forming a conical red light that pierced towards Fen Tian.
The red light instantly parted the sea of flames and shot through, directly at Fen Tian. Fen Tian, greatly alarmed, turned and fled rapidly in the direction of the crowd.
Min Zhiyuan continued to pursue, charging towards the crowd. Cries of alarm erupted from the crowd as people scattered to dodge.
Suddenly, a flash of light appeared, and a figure blocked the red light.
Without any earth-shattering sound, the red light was halted, unable to advance.
Min Zhiyuan revealed his true form and bowed, "Teacher Jiang."
It turned out to be Jiang Xia. Jiang Xia nodded, remained silent, and then turned his gaze back to Mo Qi.
It was truly because this person had given him too much shock today! Too much disbelief!
Clearly, his own academy's people possessed absolute crushing strength against the Heavenly Rank Academy!
Yet, he alone had single-handedly altered the outcome!
Why wasn't such a person from our Heavenly God Academy?
It was truly hateful and infuriating!
At this moment, Xing Mian had pulled Mo Qi out of the deep pit and returned to their original spectator seats.
The people from Heavenly God Academy jumped back into the deep pit to help Li Sanlang.
Fen Tian ran out of the crowd, his face flushed red, not daring to look back, feeling utterly ashamed.
Although Mo Qi was struggling, he had ultimately defeated the person from Heavenly God Academy.
And he, Fen Tian, had been defeated by someone from Heavenly God Academy in a single exchange.
This was an indirect slap in the face!
He was truly too ashamed to face anyone, so he moved away from the crowd and hid in a secluded place.
The people from Heavenly Rank Academy sighed again, "Fortunately, we didn't let them go up."
"Exactly, they were all show and no substance, good to look at but useless."
"I thought it was a king's return, but it turned out to be a turtle's return!"
Jing Lei and the others, their eyes filled with hatred, quietly retreated.
Xing Mian also broke out in a cold sweat: That was close!
Fortunately, you didn't return any earlier. If you had returned even a moment sooner, we would have lost again!
At this moment, a voice echoed from the heavens, "In this competition between Heavenly Rank Academy and Heavenly God Academy, Heavenly Rank Academy is victorious!"
The entire academy erupted in cheers!
Everyone jointly tossed Mo Qi into the air.
Gan Lei and Gao Jiaxu were in tears: "Before, he ordered us around, and we were still unconvinced. Now, it seems that the person we serve is indeed extraordinary."
Xing Mian suddenly collapsed to the ground, crying like a child.
Eight hundred years!
Eight hundred years without tasting victory!
And this time, it should have been another defeat, but the outcome was changed because of one person.
All the points were earned by him alone.
The terrifying thing was that he had almost expelled him!
Celestial music sounded above Heavenly Rank Academy, and cheers erupted below.
Everyone bowed towards the celestial maiden in the sky. In that area of colorful clouds, her robes fluttered, and ethereal energy permeated the air. Several graceful figures danced to and fro above Heavenly Rank Academy, weaving in and out.
Occasionally, divine light descended, disappearing into the surroundings of the academy.
"We now bestow upon you the Heavenly Seal Barrier, which can ensure the academy's peace for a hundred years," the maiden's melodious and ethereal voice echoed from above.
"Thank you, Divine Maiden, for your grace," Xing Mian said, tears streaming down his face as he bowed in supplication.
The maiden, however, looked at Mo Qi, who was being tossed into the air and falling, and thought to herself, "Little brat, you've grown quite fast. Is it all thanks to the Earth Arrow?"
Amidst the cheers, the colorful clouds in the sky gradually dissipated. The swirling mist wrapped around the maiden's beautiful and graceful figures, slowly merging into the clouds and disappearing.
Jiang Xia and the other visitors from Heavenly God Academy stood with bowed heads until the maiden vanished.
Jiang Xia's face was ashen. He walked up to Xing Mian, offered a few simple congratulations, and then left with his students.
Li Sanlang was carried away.
However, the white-robed tester quietly remained behind, unnoticed by anyone at this moment.
He realized that his return would not be easy, and he still had a major problem to solve. How could he leave?
Meanwhile, Mo Qi, who had been tossed around, had fainted.
It was the first time he had used the Sun Chasing Star Grasping Art, and the consumption was too great. Moreover, when the maiden announced the winner and loser, he had forcefully retracted his power. As a result, Li Sanlang still refused to concede, forcing him to continue to maintain his remaining mana to deal with Li Sanlang.
At that time, he had already retracted nearly seventy percent of his mana. With only thirty percent remaining, he had already beaten Li Sanlang to the brink of death. One could imagine what would have happened if he had released it all...
However, this retraction and release had caused an immense drain on Mo Qi's energy.
He was already forcing himself when he used the embroidery needle to sew Li Sanlang's mouth shut.
Later, being tossed around again, he could no longer endure the torment and had fainted.
When someone tossing him discovered this, they were terrified: "He's dead?"
The others also stopped their actions, all of them stunned.
Xue Nu and Lu Xiaoyue also rushed over and checked his breathing, only then letting out a sigh of relief.
After an unknown amount of time, Mo Qi was awakened by a commotion.
He heard Xue Nu's voice say, "With my Golden Needle Acupuncture technique, I can wake him up."
"What Golden Needle Acupuncture? You're not a doctor. You can't just try such things. Savage treatment can be fatal," Lu Xiaoyue's voice rang out.
"Then what do you suggest?"
"I learned a technique called Bone Gouging Soul Stirring Art before. We can try to wake him up with that," Lu Xiaoyue said.
"Soul Stirring Art? You mean Soul Hooking Art, right? I see you've been using it a lot lately," Xue Nu said unceremoniously.
Judging by their demeanor, they were about to argue.
Mo Qi was about to open his eyes to tell them he was awake and they didn't need to argue.
He then heard Lu Xiaoyue scoff, "Do I need to seduce him? We've been childhood sweethearts since we were little. We have a marriage contract. Look, what is this? It's a marriage contract. Do you have one?"
Mo Qi was startled. He opened his eyes slightly and saw Lu Xiaoyue and Xue Nu sitting by the bed. He was already in his dormitory room.
Lu Xiaoyue was holding a piece of paper with a tear in the middle, as if it had been torn and then glued back together.
Mo Qi immediately understood. It was the marriage contract he had torn up and thrown on the ground years ago. He hadn't expected her to pick it up and glue it back together.
It seemed that this marriage contract had become real.
Xue Nu naturally remembered the scene of Mo Qi throwing away the marriage contract that year and said with a hint of disdain, "How did your marriage contract get torn?"
Lu Xiaoyue's pretty face flushed slightly, and she immediately put the marriage contract away, "What business is it of yours? This is between us."
Xue Nu hesitated for a long time, then took out half a jade pendant from her embrace and said, "We also have a token of love. Do you have this?"
"Why is it only half?"
"Only half is called a token of love. I have one, and he has one, and together they make a whole. If you don't believe me, I'll find it for you. There's definitely another half in his storage bag," Xue Nu said.
As she said this, she still felt a little guilty. What if Mo Qi had thrown that half away later?
Since the words were out, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and reach for Mo Qi's storage bag. Mo Qi cooperated by gently shifting his body.
The two of them argued, not noticing Mo Qi's abnormality.
Xue Nu began to rummage through Mo Qi's storage bag. There were so many miscellaneous items! She didn't even organize them properly!
Lu Xiaoyue, for reasons unknown, also helped her search. The two of them meticulously searched through each storage bag.
Soon, Xue Nu found the other half of the jade pendant and was overjoyed, her face blooming like a flower. She put them together, "Look, aren't they a pair? Aren't they a pair?"
However, Lu Xiaoyue found a love letter in another storage bag, her brows furrowed tightly, and she said angrily, "Good, I always knew this guy was a flirt, but I didn't expect him to be so promiscuous."
Mo Qi secretly cursed in his heart, how could he have forgotten about this matter?
Xue Nu, upon hearing this, snatched the love letter and, upon reading it, was also filled with rage.
At this moment, Lu Xiaoyue found another love letter...
Looking at Mo Qi, who was "unconscious," Lu Xiaoyue said, "I agree to your use of the Golden Needle Acupuncture technique."
"I also agree to your use of the Bone Gouging Soul Stirring Art," Xue Nu said.
The next moment, wrist bone needles and gouging were alternately applied to Mo Qi.
The bone-piercing, marrow-eating pain intensified, and tears flowed uncontrollably from the corners of his eyes, yet he dared not wake up...
After an unknown amount of time, Xue Nu and Lu Xiaoyue seemed to have vented their anger and left Mo Qi's room. As they left, the rift between them suddenly vanished, and they became unprecedentedly friendly and intimate.
Mo Qi, who had almost recovered, had to lie there for a few more days due to their meddling.
During this time, the white-robed tester came. Mo Qi directly asked him to lift his sleeve and take a look.
The red thread had disappeared.
The white-robed tester was shocked: "What happened? Am I doomed?"
Mo Qi smiled: "Doomed to what? I never poisoned you. That pill was a qi and blood activating pill."
The white-robed tester was utterly shocked. While lamenting that he had been deceived, he had to admire the other party's skill.
Xue Nu and Lu Xiaoyue also came twice, but Mo Qi no longer dared to feign unconsciousness. He pretended to be severely injured, looking pitiful, sighing, and groaning incessantly.
Xue Nu and Lu Xiaoyue couldn't bear to torment him again, and they never mentioned the love letters again, but their eyes were always filled with lingering resentment.
One day, Xue Nu somehow obtained a "Single-Hearted Devotion Pill," claiming it was a pill for recovery, and forced Mo Qi to eat it.
Mo Qi said with a pained expression: "I have recovery pills myself. Why should I eat yours?"
Xue Nu teased: "This one was refined by a master, and its effects are better."
Mo Qi pretended to be very angry: "What? Is there someone in this world whose pills are better than mine? Tell me, who is it? If others said it, it would be fine, but you say it, and you make me so sad!"
Xue Nu had no choice but to blush and truthfully say, "Actually, it's the Single-Hearted Devotion Pill. After eating it, you will be devoted only to me. Do you dare to eat it? If you don't eat it, either you are insincere towards me, or you still want to flirt around."
Mo Qi panicked. All his escape routes were blocked.
If this pill was really effective, what about Lu Xiaoyue, and Xue Ying, Ling Feiyan, Pei Ruxue, Zhen Zhen...
However, since she had put it that way, he had no choice but to eat it.
Now, he could only gamble that this pill was ineffective.
But he couldn't even refine such a pill himself. It was probably just a trick by some quack!
Mo Qi had no choice but to bite the bullet and eat it.
Xue Nu watched him swallow it, then left contentedly.
After Lu Xiaoyue learned about this (most likely told by Du Gu Jun), she was unwilling to be outdone. She brewed a bowl of "Single-Mindedness Soup" and also forced Mo Qi to drink it.
Then she left, satisfied.
That night, Mo Qi had diarrhea and went to the toilet more than ten times.
Mo Qi was exhausted.
