So Embarrassing, Tang San Didn't Even Make the Top Three, Yu Xiaogang Was Mortified

Soon, Xiao Wu and Lin Hui both stepped onto the stage, each standing at opposite ends of the ring.

Xiao Wu pouted and said, "Lin Hui, I won't go easy on you just because it's you!"

Lin Hui chuckled, "That's perfect. I've been wanting to see which one of us is actually stronger!"

Although Lin Hui said this, the outcome of the match no longer mattered much to him.

After all, as long as he placed in the top three, he would receive the Green Wood Liquid, and the difference between the champion and the runner-up was merely two gold soul coins.

While money was important, Lin Hui didn't care much for those two gold soul coins.

Furthermore, if Lin Hui were to take the championship, it would only draw more unwanted attention from the school.

He only wanted to grow quietly and develop in the shadows.

Most people would only remember who took first place, but second place would be forgotten before long.

After all, he had already captured the hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor. Although the Ultra Ball had masked most of the Blue Silver Emperor's aura, it was always better to be safe.

The Clear Sky Sect, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and even the Spirit Hall...

All these factions possessed powerhouses at the Title Douluo level.

And these were people that the current Lin Hui could not afford to provoke.

Therefore, the choice Lin Hui had to make next was already obvious.

"Alright, I now announce that the championship match of the Notting Academy Academy Grand Competition begins now!" Teacher Li Chun announced loudly.

Seeing his favored student, Lin Hui, standing in this final match, he was already quite satisfied.

"Look, look! This will decide our academy's champion!" The students below began to cheer excitedly.

Once the match started, Xiao Wu rushed forward in a hurry.

"Take this!"

Xiao Wu leaped up, sweeping her leg in a flying kick with a very agile posture.

Her movement was quite wide, and she jumped directly over Lin Hui. Without even needing to look up, Lin Hui could see a magnificent view—and it was white!

Xiao Wu realized her secret had been exposed and her face instantly flushed red with shame.

"You little pervert, see how I teach you a lesson!"

Despite her words, the force behind her leg softened due to her embarrassment.

Lin Hui blocked her leg with one hand, but Xiao Wu immediately brought her legs together, locking them around Lin Hui's neck.

At Notting Academy, Xiao Wu was considered the school beauty, and with her excellent flexibility, her movements were incredibly light.

Seeing the look in Lin Hui's eyes, Xiao Wu's face turned even redder, but her body felt weak and powerless from the shyness.

This isn't right. I should be angry, so why does it feel like this... Xiao Wu also realized that her current emotions were very strange.

Even though she had been seen, she didn't find it all that hateful; it felt as if the only thing she hated was that the timing was wrong...

Seeing that his neck was already locked by Xiao Wu, and knowing the power of her Soft Technique, Lin Hui immediately wrapped his hands tightly around her thighs.

Lin Hui blocked her offensive, and the two became entangled.

Suddenly, Xiao Wu turned to the side and exerted force from her waist, causing Lin Hui to lose his balance and crash to the ground.

Xiao Wu fell along with him.

At this moment, Lin Hui's vision was completely obscured by Xiao Wu's skirt.

The scene on the ring now showed Xiao Wu pinning Lin Hui beneath her with her legs locked tightly around his neck, her skirt accidentally covering his face, while Lin Hui's hands had reached up and grabbed something.

Down below, Wang Sheng and the other boys wore expressions of envy, with some even watching with longing.

Xiao Wu was overwhelmed with shame and anger.

"You brat, where are your hands touching!"

Lin Hui realized what he was grabbing and immediately pulled back, saying at once, "I lose this match!"

Wang Sheng's gaze refocused on the match. "Just one round? Is it over already?"

The teachers outside the ring were also surprised. They had expected this match to be even more spectacular than the one between Lin Hui and Tang San, and they hadn't expected it to end so quickly.

As for the physical contact on stage, since the Soft Technique was Xiao Wu's unique combat style, they didn't think anything else of it.

Although the course of the match had exceeded the expectations of Li Chun and the other teachers, Li Chun could only announce with a helpless sigh.

"In this match, Xiao Wu is the winner!"

"Congratulations to student Xiao Wu, she is the champion of our Notting Academy Academy Grand Competition!"

The sixty-year-old teacher hunched his back and added with regret, "What a pity. I was hoping to see Lin Hui's first soul skill, but it ended before he could even use it..."

"Still, sometimes, catching your opponent off guard is a valid combat strategy."

Almost all the teachers at the academy believed that Lin Hui had simply been careless, which led to his sudden defeat.

Little did they know, all of this was within Lin Hui's plan.

Lin Hui's neck was still being straddled by Xiao Wu, and he already felt like he was being suffocated.

"Hey, you've already won, aren't you going to let go?"

Xiao Wu's face was flushed crimson by now, and upon realizing this, she immediately jumped off.

"I'm not called 'hey,' I'm called Xiao Wu!"

"Besides, if you dare to get handsy again, I definitely won't let you off!"

And what about this time?

Does this count as letting me off?

Lin Hui thought to himself.

Lin Hui stood up as well.

"Fine, with that scrawny frame of yours, don't think for a second that I was the one taking advantage!"

"You—" Xiao Wu was so angry she could barely speak.

Another ten minutes passed.

Teacher Li Chun spoke from the stage once more.

"Although the champion and runner-up have been decided, we still need to determine the third-place winner. Next, I invite students Wang Sheng and Tang San to the stage!"

A student raised his hand from below.

"Reporting to the teacher, Tang San is still unconscious at the moment; I'm afraid he won't be able to make it."

After pondering for a moment, Li Chun said.

"According to the competition rules, an injured participant is granted a thirty-minute grace period to appear. If Tang San remains in a coma after thirty minutes, then this match will be decided as a victory for Wang Sheng."

Most of the people present knew that there was a high probability Tang San would not wake up after thirty minutes, given how badly he had been injured.

However, the formalities of the competition still had to be observed.

Thirty minutes later, Tang San remained unconscious.

"I announce that the third-place winner of this Academy Grand Competition is Wang Sheng!" Li Chun declared.

"Me?" Wang Sheng pointed at himself in disbelief. "I never expected my luck to be this good this time..."

Wang Sheng knew he couldn't beat any of Lin Hui, Xiao Wu, or Tang San, and he likely couldn't even beat Xiao Chenyu. Now that he had picked up a third-place finish for free, he was overjoyed.

Soon, Wang Sheng went to collect his award with a crooked grin on his face.

Watching the three people on the podium, Yu Xiaogang had not expected that Tang San would fail to even secure third place. Feeling the scrutinizing gazes of many teachers and students, he felt so awkward he could have curled his toes into the floor.
