Chapter 195: Chapter 167: Battle Against Wen Chenwei Again!

The intense starlight illuminated the entire arena.

Ye Qing, engulfed in the Sea and Sky Backflow, spat out a mouthful of blood, and his aura instantly weakened.

Moments later, the starlight dissipated.

The arena floor was in shambles, and the Eight-Armed Demon Ape had vanished, returning to Ye Qing’s Guardian Beast Space in a near-death state.

Large amounts of drifting Star Dust flew up like a vortex into Wen Chenwei’s body, replenishing his Star Power.

Wen Chenwei looked up at Ye Qing amidst the waves: “So, still not conceding?”

Ye Qing’s expression darkened.

He never expected to suffer such an unprecedented defeat today!

He should have conceded, but the words “concede defeat” had never passed his lips, making it hard for him to speak up now.

Seeing Ye Qing still not dispel his defenses, Wen Chenwei’s figure flickered as he prepared to leap forward.

“We concede.”

At this time, another voice emerged from the stands.

Wen Chenwei turned his head to see a handsome young boy with silver eyes sitting by the edge of the arena.

“The captain of the Demon Capital Academy, huh…”

Wen Chenwei glanced at Su Yuan, then turned his gaze to the twin-tailed girl next to him.

“Xia Yue…” Wen Chenwei’s eyes flashed, then he turned back.

Dispelling the effect of “Star Presence” from his body, Wen Chenwei stepped off the arena and returned to his team.

Ye Qing also retracted the Angry Wave Profound Turtle.

With two Guardian Beasts in near-death, Ye Qing suffered a double backlash, making his steps somewhat unsteady.

Fortunately, Xiang Dingqian timely helped him down and handed him over to Lan Xinlan.

After examining him, Lan Xinlan said: “Luckily, it’s just that the severe damage to his Guardian Beasts caused a heavy backlash to himself.

A week’s rest will do.

As for the two Guardian Beasts…

they should be in a near-death state.

It’s not advisable to summon them for treatment recklessly.

Let them heal in the Guardian Beast Space for a while.

After passing the critical period, they can be treated.”

The Guardian Beast Space is created by Beast Tamers using their spiritual power within their Sea of Consciousness when they first contract a Guardian Beast.

This space exists between illusion and reality and has various miraculous uses for contracted Guardian Beasts.

One such use is its ability to automatically heal the Beast’s injuries.

Although slower than Healing Skill, it consumes no resources and at least prevents the injuries from worsening.

Lan Xinlan performed a high-stage Healing Skill to restore Ye Qing’s vitality and spirit.

He Yanan urged Xiang Dingqian: “Alright, you go ahead now.

The next match is about to start…

By the way, we’re up next.

Remind Su Yuan to avoid the super talents from the Capitol City and Demon City if possible.”

He Yanan thought for a moment and reminded him once more.

“Understood,” Xiang Dingqian responded and then turned back to the participant seating.

Wen Chenwei had defeated Ye Qing, securing a second consecutive win, naturally winning the enthusiastic cheers of the Demon City freshmen!

After all, defeating Wei Chen Jian with a surprise attack was one thing; crushing a Beast Tamer head-on with overwhelming strength was far more thrilling for the Demon City crowd and better showcased the talent of Demon Academy’s new students!

“The third round is over.

Next is the fourth round.

Demon Capital Academy, please send a participant to the stage.”

Ke Zhen Nan did not deliberately give Wen Chenwei any extra time to recover.

First, Wen Chenwei’s Starlight Sword had strong endurance, likely not consumed more than half.

Second, Ke Zhen Nan believed that facing Wen Chenwei’s displayed formidable strength, Demon Capital Academy would likely turn their attack toward Capitol City.

At the Demon Academy participants’ seating, Su Yuan asked the others, “What are your thoughts?”

Demon City decisively sent Wen Chenwei, blocking the alliance between Demon Capital Academy and Capitol City while leaving a strong player on the field.

Although sending him out early would expose many of Wen Chenwei’s techniques, putting him at a disadvantage for the final confrontations,

neither Capitol City nor Demon Capital Academy wanted to face him just yet.

Now that each side had four members left, Su Yuan wanted to hear everyone’s opinions on what to do.

Zhang Tai scratched his head: “This Wen Chenwei is quite strong.

How about we test the waters with Capitol City first?”

Actually, Zhang Tai felt quite awkward now.

He had come with full confidence to showcase his strength,

but compared to everyone else, his strength did indeed seem a bit weaker.

And the Wen Chenwei from Demon City now defending the arena?

Even Ye Qing wasn’t his match; Zhang Tai knew he’d fare even worse.

Xiang Dingqian nodded: “Xiao He Teacher asked me to convey the same suggestion—avoid the two academies’ super talents if possible.

If needed, I can go up against Capitol City this round.”

After hearing their words, Su Yuan turned his gaze to Xia Yue, who was still deep in thought.

“Xia Yue, do you have any other ideas?” Su Yuan asked.

“Hm…” Xia Yue murmured, “I haven’t truly won against Wen Chenwei before.

I want to face him again.”

“‘Again’ huh…”

Upon hearing this, Su Yuan understood there might be some grudge between Xia Yue and Wen Chenwei.

After a brief consideration, he nodded: “Alright, if you want to go, then you’re up this round.”

Upon Su Yuan’s decision, although Zhang Tai and Xiang Dingqian felt it was a bit unwise, they offered no objections.

Xia Yue’s eyes showed a bit of hesitation: “Though I want to fight him, I’m only about fifty percent confident.

I’m worried it might affect our team’s final ranking…”

“Don’t worry, I’ll cover for you,” Su Yuan smiled, then looked at Zhang Tai and Xiang Dingqian, “The same goes for you two.

If you have opponents you want to battle, go ahead.

There aren’t many chances to fight top-level talents like these.

Enjoy the experience.

As for winning or losing…

don’t worry, because we still have me.”

Hearing Su Yuan’s words, Xia Yue, Zhang Tai, and Xiang Dingqian couldn’t help but feel a surge of inexplicable emotion.

Looking at the handsome young man before them, the three suddenly felt a surge of inspiration.

It seemed that no matter how strong the talents from Capitol City or Demon City were, as long as he was there, they could handle it.

Xiang Dingqian slightly turned his head towards Xiang Dingkun from Capitol City College, thinking that after more than a year, today, there might be a chance for a rematch!

Zhang Tai felt the pressure of his inferior strength suddenly dissipate, feeling much more relaxed.

“Alright, then I’m going up!” Encouraged, Xia Yue resolutely decided and walked towards the stage.

After a few steps, Xia Yue suddenly turned back and flashed a sincere and brilliant smile.

“Su Yuan, thank you.”

Su Yuan nodded and smiled: “Good luck.”

“Mm!”

…

“Finally, a girl is stepping up.”

“That…

that seems to be Xia Yue!”

As Xia Yue walked onto the stage, the audience quickly recognized this highly popular genius girl from the Demon City high schools a year ago.

“It really is her; she was sitting without much notice among the participants.

It really is Xia Yue.”

“It’s said she went to Demon Capital Academy.

Now it seems true.”

The second daughter of the Xia Family from the Beidou Consortium, a talent in violent Fire Magic, a genius girl from Demon No.1 Middle School…

In the circles of Demon City middle schools, few didn’t know about Xia Yue.

Even if they hadn’t met, they had at least heard of her.

After all, a “rich and talented beautiful girl” is eye-catching anywhere.

In the Demon City participant seats.

“Xia Yue is stepping up.”

Leaning against the railing of the long bench, Yan Ziyu’s eyes showed a hint of interest.

“I’ve wanted to fight her once, to see how much she has grown over the past year.

I thought we’d be competing at Demon Academy, but she chose Demon Capital instead.

Quite a pity~”

The glasses-wearing boy, the last participant from Demon City, said, “She shouldn’t challenge us, right?

After all…

as far as I know, she’s never won against Wen Chenwei.”

Ji Xuan, who was not from Demon City, wasn’t familiar with Xia Yue.

Seeing the determined look in the girl’s eyes on stage, he pondered: “Perhaps, she just wants to win once?”

Everyone was taken aback.

Even Wen Chenwei, who was resting, was surprised by Ji Xuan’s words.

The glasses boy said: “But she should consider her team, this isn’t a personal duel…”

Before he finished speaking, a clear and bright voice rang out from the stage:

“I challenge Demon Academy!”

To the surprise of many from Demon City, Xia Yue resolutely challenged them!

Yan Ziyu raised an eyebrow: “This girl, she dares…”

Wen Chenwei’s eyes showed a trace of surprise as he looked at the confident girl on stage, stopping his recovery and stepping forward.

Ɲονɡօ.сο

“Chenwei, remember not to be too harsh.

A loss in the arena won’t matter much, but angering that person will bring trouble for us all…”

Hearing this, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.

Clearly, the witch named Xia Xuan had already given Ji Xuan and others some “friendly” suggestions before today.

Without turning back, Wen Chenwei said, “Relax, I can handle her.”

“Didn’t expect you to challenge me, Xia Yue?” On stage, Wen Chenwei studied the girl across from him, “Seems your teammates gave you a lot of confidence.”

Facing this long-time rival again, Xia Yue’s expression grew grim.

“Wen Chenwei, you said you held back during our last trial before graduation.

So today, don’t hold back at all.

Besides…

in this situation, you can’t hold back, can you?”

Wen Chenwei smiled: “After a year, you seem more confident.

Compared to high school, you’ve changed a lot.

But understand, regardless of change, the ‘strong’ and ‘weak’ between us, that remains constant.”

“The only constant here is your arrogance!” Xia Yue frowned, pulling out the Red Gemstone Wand.

“Today, I’ll give it my all and defeat you!”

Wen Chenwei drew the Starlight Sword: “Then let me remind you of the difference between us once again.”
