“It’s time to end this.”

Qiao Yu walked towards Gu Su.

“End? Yes, it’s time.”

Gu Su raised his head, his eyes bloodshot. He glanced at Shi Shaorong below the stage.

“Qiao Yu, I won’t lose this duel. I have a reason I can’t afford to lose!”

Qiao Yu pointed to Shi Shaorong below the stage.

“She also said she had one, but she still lost to me.”

Shi Shaorong: “…”

“Heh, you don’t understand at all!”

Gu Su's condition was very different from just now.

“Thoughts of thousands of days and nights.”

“I even secretly wished every day that she wouldn’t fall for another boy.”

“Now that this iceberg finally has a chance to become ice cream in my hands, I will never miss this opportunity!”

“For this! Even if it means sacrificing my life, I won't hesitate! I’m already prepared to die! What about you, Qiao Yu?”

The red light in Gu Su’s eyes intensified.

“I see.” Qiao Yu rubbed his chin, “If she and your mother fell into the water at the same time, who would you save first?”

Gu Su: “…”

“Besides, she only said she’d be with you if you beat me. She didn’t say she wouldn’t break up with you after you got together. What are you after?”

Gu Su: “…”

“Even if you really got together, can you guarantee that the child will be yours?”

Gu Su: “…”

“And…”

“Shut up! How dare you, you brat, ruin my Dao heart!”

Gu Su shouted loudly. He didn't dare let Qiao Yu continue, afraid that he wouldn’t want to fight anymore.

“Qiao Yu, you should feel honored. I was originally going to save this move for the battle for the top scorer!”

Gu Su raised his hand and summoned four shadow servants to surround him.

“Sacrifice – Shadow Devour!”

The four shadow servants turned into black, unknown substances and merged into Gu Su's body. Dark gold patterns appeared on Gu Su's exposed skin.

“Ah!”

Gu Su roared as if enduring great pain.

His black hair danced wildly as he looked up at the sky, his eyes flashing with scarlet light.

“Even an early-stage body cultivator couldn't possibly win against me in this state. What are you going to fight me with, Qiao Yu?”

“Your death…”

“Sneak attack!”

Bang!

Gu Su's body was kicked away by Qiao Yu like a cannonball, plowing a long mark on the arena.

“So hard!”

This was Qiao Yu’s first thought. After Gu Su merged with the four shadow servants, he seemed to have also acquired the characteristics of the shadow servants.

“No martial morality, you’re courting death!”

Gu Su stomped hard on the ground, creating a large pit in the arena. He charged over like a cannonball.

“Dong!”

Two fists collided, and the force scattered the surrounding dust.

Missing the first blow, Gu Su twisted his body and whipped his leg towards Qiao Yu's head.

Qiao Yu raised his hand to block, but the enormous impact sent him flying.

Gu Su pressed his advantage, reaching out to grab Qiao Yu’s ankle and pulling him back.

Qiao Yu used the momentum to punch Gu Su in the chest, causing Gu Su to stagger backward. Qiao Yu also fell to the ground of the arena.

Everyone in the audience was stunned.

“That’s the mage arena, right?”

“Why are two mages brawling in the mage arena…?”

“Is it possible that close combat is more popular among mages these days?”

“That’s really eye-opening!”

Seeing two mages brawling in the mage arena was unprecedented, if there were any later, they didn't know, but it was definitely the first time ever.

“This is impossible! What kind of sorcery did you use?”

Gu Su’s bloodshot eyes were filled with horror. Even after absorbing four shadow servants, he could only fight Qiao Yu to a draw.

He knew that his Shadow Devour had a time limit.

Thinking of this, Gu Su seemed to have made up his mind.

“You forced me to do this! Sacrifice – Shadow Devour!”

Gu Su summoned two more shadow servants for himself to devour.

The dark gold patterns on his body began to turn red, as red as if they were about to drip blood.

“Nonsense! Gu Su, stop!” Tai Xuezhen shouted from the stands.

The red patterns indicated that Gu Su's body had reached its limit.

This would cause irreparable damage to his body.

“I can’t stop!”

Gu Su gritted his teeth, forcibly devouring the two servants.

“I also have something I’m willing to risk my life to fight for!”

Qiao Yu turned his head to look at the stage. "Shi Shaorong, right? Gu Su said you were a thing."

Shi Shaorong: “…”

“Shut up, she’s not a thing!” Gu Su hurriedly explained.

“What?” Qiao Yu exclaimed in shock, “Gu Su said you weren’t a thing!”

Shi Shaorong: “…”

“You’re going to die!”

Gu Su rushed over, wanting to tear Qiao Yu’s mouth apart.

“Bang!”

Without any skills, the two traded injuries, punching each other hard in the face.

Gu Su’s face caved in, and Qiao Yu’s blood spurted out.

Lacking defense and only having hit points, he was at a great disadvantage in close combat.

“Lightning Five-Strike!”

Gu Su pursued aggressively, waving his arms and throwing five consecutive whip strikes at Qiao Yu’s body.

Qiao Yu was sent flying high into the air and crashed heavily to the ground.

“Boom!”

The ravaged and fragile arena was directly smashed into a large pit by Qiao Yu’s body.

Blood gushed out of Qiao Yu's body, quickly filling the entire pit, submerging Qiao Yu completely.

It even formed a small fountain of blood.

The audience in the stands was frightened.

Where had such a bloody scene of rivers of blood ever appeared in previous college entrance exams?

A young woman covered her child’s eyes and asked nervously.

“With so much blood, isn’t that Qiao Yu going to die?”

“I don’t know…it’s too scary! What a terrifying move the Lightning Five-Strike is, to make someone bleed so much!”

Not far away, Tai Xuezhen and Hong Jianguo’s expressions also became very ugly.

“Mayor Fang, stop the competition, I’m afraid something will happen if they continue to fight!” Hong Jianguo was the first to speak.

“Mayor Fang, this time I agree with Principal Hong’s opinion!” Tai Xuezhen took a deep breath.

Winning or losing was no longer so important to them. What was important was that these two students must not have an accident.

If Gu Su and Qiao Yu really risked their lives and something happened to either of them, it would be an unbearable loss for either side.

“Then which student should be judged as the number one mage in Sucheng City?” Fang Biao frowned.

“Gu Su,” Hong Jianguo said.

Although he was very unwilling to admit it, based on the current situation, Qiao Yu was indeed at a disadvantage.

“Okay!”

Fang Biao stood up, just about to end the match.

“Splash!”

A figure stood up straight from the pool of blood.
