The Ill-Fated Imperial Siblings! Both Ran into Monsters!!
In the stands, the emotions of the Star Luo Empire audience were like sand blown away by the wind, sinking layer by layer.
Some people lowered their heads, while others clenched their flags but did not wave them.
A layer of silence slowly spread along the outline of the stands.
"He's really... a monster."
"They treat us like it's nothing."
Can we really beat him?
Someone whispered something, the sound not loud, but it sent a brief ripple through the stands.
The person next to him didn't respond, but that silence spoke volumes.
A moment later, another voice rose from the crowd, carrying a layer of unwavering certainty that was being carefully maintained:
"No! We still have a chance! Long Yue!"
The gaze returned from the edge of the stands.
The light fell upon the figure standing quietly in front of the Monster Academy's rest area.
Long Yue stood there, like a mountain slowly breathing, his expression calm.
The commotion behind him slowly subsided into the silence.
He neither moved nor spoke, but his very presence was enough to save those who were wavering.
The figure remained as steady as a mountain, unmoved by the external disturbances.
Dai Yun'er stood at the edge of the rest area, turning her gaze from Long Yue to Bai Yuan.
The corners of her mouth curved slightly.
As expected of the person I chose!
Let them make a scene, the bigger the better.
This is how you'll make your plan work best!
Dai Yun'er withdrew her gaze, glanced at her fourth brother still lying on the ground beside her, and waved to the medical Soul Master who was about to step forward to examine him:
"You all go back first. I'll take the Fourth Prince to our royal medical team."
The medical Soul Master exchanged glances, asked no further questions, and silently withdrew.
Dai Yun'er crouched down, took Dai Yueyan's arm, and lowered her voice:
"Fourth Brother, stop pretending to be unconscious. Everyone's gone, and I can barely support you anymore."
"Losing to him isn't shameful; he can just walk back himself."
Dai Yueyan's eyelids twitched slightly, and she half-opened one eye to glance around.
He cleared his throat only after confirming that the medical Soul Master had indeed gone far away.
He stood up nonchalantly, dusted himself off, and walked towards the Monster Academy rest area.
His younger sister understood him best; she knew he was faking it and even helped him get away from the others.
Otherwise, if he were carried off in front of so many people, how could he ever face anyone in the Star Luo Empire again?
Back in the Monster Academy rest area, Dai Yueyan stopped in front of Long Yue:
"I'm sorry, I tried my best, but he's just too strong."
Fox King Su Mu walked over and patted him on the shoulder:
"It's okay, it's not your fault."
The others nearby nodded in agreement.
Tiger King Dai Yueyan took a deep breath, suppressing the aftershock that had not yet fully settled back into his body.
Long Yue stood not far away, and said in a low voice:
"It's okay, we still have a chance."
"I will take action."
Everyone nodded; they felt that Bai Yuan's strength was probably similar to Long Yue's.
They may not be without the ability to fight.
This final match will definitely be Long Yue vs. Bai Yuan.
Bai Yuan didn't linger and headed towards the rest area.
From Shrek's direction, Xie Xie's voice pierced through the gaps in the stands first:
"Big Brother Bai is amazing!"
Tang Wulin stood beside him and echoed the call.
His easy defeat of Dai Yueyan greatly boosted the morale of Shrek.
He has gradually become the spiritual leader of the Shrek Seven Devils.
I feel like they can't lose as long as he's there.
After speaking, Bai Yuan sat down in the rest area to watch the second half of the match.
In the next match, Dai Yun'er will face Gu Yue.
Spirit King Dai Yun'er, Four-Ring Soul Ancestor, Twin Martial Souls Hell Spirit Cat and Spirit Eye. Among the eight Heavenly Kings of the Monster Academy, she has the weakest cultivation and does not have a full set of One-Word Battle Armor.
This is practically Gu Yue's toy.
These days, she would frequently wander around in front of Bai Yuan, making her presence known very actively, which successfully caught Gu Yue's attention.
Gu Yue had long wanted to confront her head-on.
The poor cat is most likely to be pinned down and beaten into a pulp by the Silver Dragon King.
Suddenly, Bai Yuan felt a chill while sitting in the rest area, as if someone was constantly watching him.
Beside him Yue Zhengyu stared intently at him with his large, bell-like eyes.
Bai Yuan glanced at him sideways:
Why are you staring at me like that?
Yue Zhengyu:
"Study."
Bai Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly:
"Oh?"
"You're learning my fighting techniques?"
"Or should we learn tactical thinking?"
Yue Zhengyu's gaze remained fixed on him, his tone revealing an undisguised frankness.
"No, learn to be pretentious."
Bai Yuan paused for a moment, then raised his hand and delivered a clean, crisp elbow strike.
Yue Zhengyu collapsed to the ground with a thud and remained motionless.
The people around were stunned for a moment:
"Big Brother Bai, this..."
Bai Yuan withdrew his hand, his tone indifferent:
"It's alright, let him get some sleep, he's too tired."
The group exchanged glances, covered their mouths, and chuckled softly; no one seemed to think there was anything wrong with it.
The referee's voice echoed under the dome:
"The next match."
"Dai Yun'er versus Gu Yue, please both players come to the stage."
Bai Yuan glanced at Gu Yue, who was about to get up.
"Good luck, go easy on me."
Gu Yue paused, turned around and glanced at him, a slight smile playing on her lips.
"Oh, you feel sorry for others?"
"Don't worry, I'll be gentle."
After she finished speaking, she turned and walked briskly towards the players' tunnel.
Dai Yun'er stood in the center of the field, watching the interaction between the two, her eyes flickering slightly.
Interesting, is this some kind of flirting?
Her gaze shifted from Gu Yue to Bai Yuan.
Bai Yuan was also looking at her, and his gaze shifted slightly when it met hers.
Dai Yun'er read an emotion in that gaze that she was reluctant to admit.
Regret, even a touch of pity.
???
What does this mean??
You've taken pity on me??
She narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Gu Yue again.
The silver-haired girl walked in through the contestants' tunnel, her pace unhurried, but the way she looked at the dead ignited a fire within her.
Her initial interest in testing the waters faded. She clenched her fingers slightly, then relaxed them, and readjusted her breathing.
Let her see just how far this silver-haired girl can push her.
They need to be taught a lesson!
"The match begins!"
"Charge, Princess!"
The audience at the Star Luo Empire erupted in cheers at that moment.
They knew that Dai Yun'er was the weakest of the Eighth Prince, but they just hoped she wouldn't lose as badly as her brother.
In an instant, the Hell Spirit Cat possessed Dai Yun'er, and two fluffy cat ears appeared on the top of her head.
Her limbs became long and powerful, and her petite body, enhanced by her Martial Soul, instantly transformed into a shadowy figure that shot out like lightning.
Four Soul Ring, three purple and one black, lit up in succession beneath her feet.
Gu Yue remained calm and composed, gently swirling the elemental power in his hand, unleashing countless crimson fireballs like a meteor shower.
They completely blocked most of Dai Yun'er's attack routes.
Dai Yun'er's gaze lingered for a moment, and she spotted a fleeting gap within the dense cluster of fireballs.
She lowered her body slightly, her aura suddenly became ethereal, and her entire being transformed into a beam of light, slicing through the crevice.
You were careless!
"I caught you!"
The moment Hell Slash, she was already less than three steps in front of Gu Yue.
A dark purple arc of light sliced through the air, heading straight for Gu Yue's chest.
"How could you have let Dai Yun'er get close?"
Tang Wulin's pupils contracted, and the words escaped his lips.
"Careful!!!"
