Time was certainly plentiful!
Da Xiong smiled and said, "Dr. Zhao, what is it you need? Just say it."
A faint blush spread across Zhao Ruyue's cheeks. After stammering for a while, she finally asked, "I just wanted to ask what Dr. Zhou the Divine likes."
So, it was about Zhou Yu!
Da Xiong and Ouyang Feng exchanged a glance, their expressions filled with understanding.
That made sense.
Whether it was delivering lunch or providing treatment, Zhao Ruyue's feelings for Zhou Yu were practically written all over her face!
If Zhou Yu hadn't kept her at arm's length, they probably would have already had children.
Sometimes, Da Xiong couldn't help but wonder.
Why would Zhou Yu reject a woman like Dr. Zhao, who was fair-skinned, beautiful, and capable?
Therefore, upon hearing Zhao Ruyue inquire about Zhou Yu's preferences, Da Xiong immediately replied, "Dr. Zhao, to be honest, we aren't entirely sure ourselves."
"But I do know one thing: Dr. Zhou the Divine particularly enjoys cultivation!"
Ouyang Feng chimed in from the side, "That's right, Dr. Zhou the Divine likes people who are diligent and hardworking!"
Indeed.
Zhou Yu would often drag them out for cultivation sessions whenever he had the time.
This clearly indicated Zhou Yu's preference for that type of person!
Hearing this, Zhao Ruyue's mouth opened slightly, a look of surprise on her face. "No, does he like anything else?"
Zhao Ruyue wasn't even close to body-tempering, so cultivation had little relevance to her.
If Zhou Yu liked people like that, she might be out of luck!
Da Xiong pondered for a long time before continuing, "Dr. Zhou the Divine also likes good food!"
When they lived at Yun Lan Villa, Zhou Yu insisted on having good meals every time.
So, it wasn't unreasonable to interpret this as Zhou Yu liking good food!
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ruyue's eyes lit up!
Actually, Zhao Ruyue's cooking wasn't that great.
But that didn't matter; she could learn!
"Anything else?" Zhao Ruyue urged.
However, Da Xiong and Ouyang Feng couldn't think of anything else for the moment, so they both shook their heads.
Ouyang Feng, on the other hand, offered a suggestion, "Dr. Zhao, are you planning to give a gift? Actually, regardless of what Dr. Zhou the Divine likes, as a martial artist, he would certainly appreciate some heavenly treasures. Giving him something like that would surely make him happy!"
Ouyang Feng's words sparked an idea in Zhao Ruyue.
Yes.
Who wouldn't like heavenly treasures?
Whether for her own cultivation or as a gift, they were suitable!
Zhao Ruyue immediately nodded. "Okay, thank you. You two should go train; I won't take up any more of your time."
With that, Zhao Ruyue dashed off!
Leaving only Da Xiong and Ouyang Feng standing there in a daze.
Da Xiong mused for a moment and then said to Ouyang Feng, "Don't we need to train as well?"
Ouyang Feng shrugged.
Women, especially those in love, didn't have much brainpower.
The two of them continued to the side of the arena.
At this time, quite a few of the faster-acting newcomers had already gathered.
The freshmen scheduled for the morning rounds were already fighting on the arena!
Da Xiong found a spot where he could conveniently watch the spectacle and settled in with great interest.
He had to admit.
Although some of the contestants who had reached the third round were there due to sheer luck in encountering weaker opponents, the majority had earned their place fair and square.
Therefore, the matches were longer and more exciting than yesterday's!
Da Xiong and Ouyang Feng watched and discussed the moves of the fighters on the arena.
Time passed quickly.
It wasn't until the referee called their names that Da Xiong and Ouyang Feng stepped onto the stage.
Zhou Yu, meanwhile, was already in the observation room.
Initially, Zhou Yu had been worried that Ouyang Feng, not fully recovered, might face some difficult opponents.
However, it seemed Zhou Yu had worried unnecessarily.
Because both Da Xiong and Ouyang Feng were the fastest to finish their matches today!
They could practically send an opponent flying out of the arena with a single move.
The audience below hadn't even begun to cheer before their fights were already over...
"Da Xiong and Ouyang Feng's strength suggests they are candidates for the top ten."
In the observation room, people commented.
Some even felt that,
It was possible that Da Xiong and Ouyang Feng might even sweep the top two spots in this martial arts competition.
If that were to happen,
Then Zhou Yu would be basking in glory!
After all, these two dark horses were both Zhou Yu's students!
For a moment, countless eyes in the observation room subtly shifted towards Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu, however, pretended not to notice, focusing on the matches.
For the next month.
As Ouyang Feng and Da Xiong's performances on the arena became increasingly stunning.
Zhou Yu received even more attention!
The observation team had arrived at the beginning of the freshman training camp.
They were well aware of Da Xiong and Ouyang Feng's previous strength.
Talented horses are common, but good trainers are rare.
Moreover, Da Xiong and Ouyang Feng's previous condition didn't even qualify them as talented horses; at best, they were just horses that ate well and ran a bit faster.
But under Zhou Yu's tutelage.
In such a short period, they had transformed into the likeness of talented horses!
This forced the retainers of various families to re-evaluate their attitudes towards Zhou Yu!
If they continued to treat Zhou Yu with their previous demeanor.
It might be inappropriate.
After all, Zhou Yu possessed so many secrets.
As long as they could build a good relationship with Zhou Yu, and when Zhou Yu was in a good mood, even a sliver of his knowledge leaked out.
It would be immeasurably beneficial!
Thus, as the finals were about to begin.
Zhou Yu began to receive exceptionally preferential treatment!
The entire observation team, without question, treated Zhou Yu almost like an emperor.
Daily flattery aside.
If Zhou Yu said one, they would absolutely not dare to say two.
Amidst this peculiar atmosphere.
The finals officially commenced!
The freshmen who had reached the top ten were all exceptionally skilled.
At the final stage of the competition, it was no longer about passing or failing.
It was about family honor!
Personal glory!
Therefore, everyone gave their all.
As Zhou Yu had predicted.
Both Da Xiong and Ouyang Feng had successfully advanced to the finals.
There were a total of three matches to determine the rankings.
Today's schedule only included Ouyang Feng's match.
Before stepping onto the stage, Ouyang Feng was extremely nervous.
After all, he had undergone a month of devilish training and then competed with suppressed tension for so long.
Success or failure hinged on this moment.
Who wouldn't be nervous?
Da Xiong, on the other hand, was carefree.
He patted Ouyang Feng on the shoulder from the side, offering comfort. "It's okay, you've already made it to the top ten, no need to put so much pressure on yourself."
"Worst case scenario, when Dr. Zhou the Divine gets angry later, I'll just cover my eyes and pretend not to see."
Ouyang Feng glared at Da Xiong with displeasure.
Did he know how to comfort someone?
If you can't say anything nice, just don't say anything at all!
Da Xiong knew he wasn't good at comforting people, so he could only rub his nose.
