"Don't look at me like that. You're all already very strong. Didn't you see that I even released my Martial Soul for you?" Jun Yi said to the Elephant Armor Academy students below the arena.
Huyan Li was speechless. Jun Yi had indeed used his Martial Soul, but the problem was that Hu Yanli hadn't even figured out what Jun Yi's Huyan Li Martial Soul was before being thrown off the stage. Being eliminated before even having a chance to use his strength was undoubtedly the most painful thing for a disciple of the Elephant Armor Sect.
"Let's go." Huyan Li gritted his teeth and shouted to the other six students as they returned to the competition rest area of the Elephant Armor Academy.
Jun Yi stood on the arena, quietly watching the students from the Elephant Armor Academy leave. Then he turned to the other academies and slowly asked, "Everyone, shall we continue? Which academy will be the next challenger?"
Jun Yi spread his hands, looking completely unconcerned, but the other participating students from different academies stared at him with awe.
The shouts and cheers from the audience rose and fell, one wave after another. The audience originally thought that the most interesting part of this competition was the team competition between the various colleges, while the individual competitions were not of much interest to them.
But who could have imagined that Jun Yi, a first-year student, would unleash such strength today, defeating Elephant Armor Academy single-handedly? This is truly unbelievable and has overturned many people's understanding.
However, while many were amazed and impressed, even more were eagerly anticipating the upcoming matches. They wanted to see what other tricks Jun Yi had up his sleeve, and what kind of team could possibly defeat Jun Yi.
Unfortunately, after the Elephant Armor Academy was defeated by Jun Yi, the area below the arena fell silent. No academy was willing to go up and challenge Jun Yi, and Jun Yi simply stood there quietly without continuing to provoke him.
For Jun Yi, this victory against the Elephant Armor Academy was truly a simple matter of winning with a flick of his finger, nothing to be proud of. However, it was a blow to the other academies, especially since Elephant Armor Academy was actually one of the stronger academies, and their loss created immense pressure.
"Anyone else want to challenge me?"
Jun Yi's indifferent gaze swept around, and for a moment, the competition area fell silent.
"Since no one is coming up, could you please declare me the winner, Uncle Referee?" Jun Yi turned to ask the referee, but his words sounded strange to the audience.
Jun Yi has so effectively silenced the other colleges from going on stage?
The referee below the arena did not respond directly. Instead, he looked up at the platform, seeking Xue Qinghe's consent. Only after Xue Qinghe nodded slightly did he step onto the platform.
"Ladies and gentlemen, if no challenger has stepped forward to fight for Jun Yi, then I shall declare Jun Yi the victor."
The referee's voice was calm, yet it resonated throughout the entire arena. He stood fully on the stage, looking down at the crowd below.
Seeing that no academy or student responded, the referee announced that Jun Yi had won the individual championship in this exchange competition. When the referee announced this result, the entire training ground erupted in cheers.
Wow, wow!
"That's awesome! That's awesome!"
The cheers were deafening, and the fervor only continued to grow. In every stand, numerous girls jumped and cheered excitedly, their eyes filled with deep admiration. This was a prodigy, a prodigy with extraordinary talent!
More importantly, Jun Yi is only a first-year student, yet he won the individual championship with an invincible performance. This is nothing short of a miracle, and an unprecedented one at that.
"Thank you." Jun Yi to the referee, then looked up at the platform and bowed slightly to Ning Fengzhi and Xue Qinghe before returning to the rest area to sit down.
As the noise from the audience gradually subsided, the host returned to the stage and announced loudly, "Due to Jun Yi's outstanding performance, the individual matches of this exchange competition have ended ahead of schedule. Students from all academies are requested to return to their respective areas to rest and recuperate. The team matches will officially begin tomorrow. All participants are requested to stay overnight at the accommodations arranged by the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and await the start of tomorrow's team matches."
As the host's voice faded, the contestants from each school left the arena, and the audience gradually dispersed. Among them, the students from the Elephant Armor Academy had unusually gloomy expressions, especially Huyan Li, whose face was flushed and whose fists were clenched so tightly they cracked.
"Senior brother, what should we do?" someone asked in a low voice.
Huyan Li a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "His abilities must have some limitations. Let's go back and study them carefully. In tomorrow's team competition, I will personally crush him under my feet."
When Jun Yi returned to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, everyone's gaze towards Jun Yi changed. Although Jun Yi had previously displayed formidable strength, it was merely a fleeting moment. People knew he was strong, but they didn't know just how strong Jun Yi truly was.
But this time it was completely different. Jun Yi single-handedly defeated nine students from the Elephant Armor Academy plus Feng Xiaotian, the captain of the Godwind Academy. In particular, the methods Jun Yi used when facing seven opponents almost stunned every audience member.
Such methods have completely won over Osler and the others, and the slight resentment they originally harbored has vanished. Now that they think about it, if Jun Yi had really fought them seriously back then, the three of them would probably be seriously injured like Feng Xiaotian, or even in danger of losing their Life.
" Little Brother Jun, you looked so majestic on stage! You seemed so much more charming than usual. I'm completely captivated by you!" Dugu Yan's beautiful eyes were watery, as if she couldn't wait to throw herself into Jun Yi's arms.
Jun Yi, looking rather lazy, said, " Sister Yanyan, tell me, am I fierce or not? Am I amazing, Brother Yi!"
Dugu Yan was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then smiled charmingly and said, "Impressive, impressive! You're just like a hero! I almost fell in love with you!"
Jun Yi chuckled and said, "That's a great opportunity, seize it while you can."
After saying that, Jun Yi gave a thumbs up, looking very supportive of Dugu Yan.
"Then you should grab it now, sister."
After saying that, Dugu Yan stood up, looking as if she was about to pounce on Jun Yi, just then Qin Ming stepped forward.
"Alright, Dugu Yan, you two can talk about this privately. Could Jun Yi talk to me instead?"
Jun Yi was surprised that Qin Ming would say such a thing. This teacher had actually teased him for the first time, which meant he was quite satisfied with his performance.
