Jun Yi looked at the student from the Godwind Academy who had been defending his captain, sighed, and said to Ye Lingling behind him, "Sister Lingling, come with me for a moment."
"Uh..." Ye Lingling didn't understand what was going on, but Jun Yi grabbed her arm and used his completely transparent ROOM space to instantly appear in front of the student from the Godwind Academy.
The student didn't look very old; he was probably a freshman like Jun Yi. His face was bruised and swollen, and there was a shocking handprint on his chest. He had obviously been beaten badly. He clutched his chest, raised his head, and stared at Jun Yi with bloodshot eyes.
Upon seeing Jun Yi, dressed in purple and wearing a terrifying spider mask, he was somewhat surprised and took a small step back, asking, "What... what do you want?"
"Sister Lingling, could you please treat him?" Jun Yi deliberately lowered his voice, making it sound a little hoarse.
Ye Lingling didn't ask any further questions. She summoned the Nine Heart Begonia, and her Soul Ring lit up. Instantly, the begonia flower in Ye Lingling's palm slowly bloomed, extremely beautiful.
The student was taken aback and said, "This is..."
A layer of pink light shone, and a pure white, crystal-clear nine-petaled flower floated down, landing near the wound of the Godwind Academy student. It slowly began to rotate, and after a moment, his wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In less than fifteen minutes, the student from the Godwind Academy had completely recovered from his superficial injuries. He quickly bowed to the two women in gratitude, saying, "Thank you for saving me, young ladies."
"No need to thank me, he brought me here."
Ye Lingling pointed to Jun Yi was standing quietly in place without saying a word, and said...
Thank you.
"You're welcome." Jun Yi then used a completely transparent ROOM space, and the two instantly disappeared, returning to the group from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Jun Yi and Ye Lingling disappear from the spot in an instant, she was very shocked. After looking around for a while, she did not find Jun Yi and left the place with doubts.
When Jun Yi returned to the group, Dugu Yan Jun Yi curiously, " Little Brother Jun, what did you take Lingling with you to do just now?"
"I went to treat that student from the Godwind Academy," Jun Yi replied calmly.
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan looked at Jun Yi in surprise and said, "I didn't expect you to be such a compassionate person. You even took the initiative to help him when you saw him injured. You are such a good person."
"I'm not a good person. I just feel that his conflict with the Blazing Fire Academy is related to me, and I just want to use this to distance myself from it," Jun Yi replied calmly.
"Huh?" Dugu Yan was speechless; this excuse was simply laughable.
" Teacher Qin, shouldn't the students from the Blazing Fire Academy be fighting with the students from the Godwind Academy at this time? Why are they here? Have they finished their battle too?"
Jun Yi curiously asked Qin Ming why they were here. He explained that Thunder Academy had chosen to forfeit their spot, which was why they had come to Heaven Dou City now.
"They should be substitutes or reserve members. Today is the day of the official members' competition, so that's why they're in Heaven Dou City," Qin Ming replied.
Jun Yi nodded and said, "I sensed that their Soul Power is around level 18 or 19, so they should undoubtedly be prospective members."
"I just didn't expect Feng Xiaotian to withdraw from the competition. I was hoping to have a match with him." Dugu Yan shook her head slightly, looking somewhat regretful.
Jun Yi looked at this with a hint of disdain and said, "The students from the Blazing Fire Academy are right. Feng Xiaotian is a coward who can't accept defeat. Just one small setback and he chose to withdraw from the competition. I really despise someone like him."
In fact, Jun Yi had a pretty good impression of the character Feng Xiaotian in the original work. As a genuine genius with Innate Full Soul Power, although he was arrogant and didn't care much about cultivation in the early stages, his talent was indeed very strong. Take his Self-Created Soul Skill, for example, they were definitely top-notch.
Jun Yi was surprised that Feng Xiaotian withdrew from the competition after being defeated, unable to bear the blow.
"You can't say that. Put yourself in his shoes. If you had just broken through to the Soul Ancestor and were feeling very confident, you would encounter a boy almost ten years younger than you. You would use all your skills, but he would easily defeat you. He would easily catch your strongest attack. You would also be unable to bear it," Dugu Yan said with a smile.
Jun Yi shook his head, not entirely agreeing with Dugu Yan's last sentence. " Sister Yanyan, I may feel disappointed and sad, but I won't withdraw from the competition because of this. Because I know that many times, people aren't just fighting for themselves. Behind every competition is not only personal honor and ranking, but also the expectations of many people. I don't think we should let down those expectations because of our own reasons."
"If I withdraw from the competition because of this, then everything will have lost its meaning."
Jun Yi's words left the group deep in thought. Qin Ming glanced at Jun Yi thoughtfully, a hint of admiration in his eyes. He hadn't expected Jun Yi's understanding to be so profound, and he was beginning to understand why Jun Yi was so formidable on the field. Perhaps it was because he didn't want to disappoint others.
"Isn't this a bit too heavy a topic? Let's go eat. I haven't eaten anything since this morning. Come on, it's on me, you guys choose the restaurant."
Seeing that the atmosphere around him seemed to have become somewhat dull because of his words, Jun Yi quickly changed the subject.
Dugu Yan immediately replied, "Great! If you're treating, then I'll have to treat you to a good meal."
The group then went to a luxuriously decorated restaurant, ordered a multitude of dishes, and enjoyed a hearty meal. Afterward, they sat down and chatted about the opponents they might face that afternoon.
"If Feng Xiaotian withdraws from the competition, will Godwind Academy be eliminated?" Osler asked while picking his teeth with a toothpick.
Yu Feng shook his head and stated his opinion. "Not necessarily. Godwind Academy's overall strength is a bit stronger than other academies, especially since their opponents are quite weak. One is our second team, and the other is Elephant Armor Academy. Even without Feng Xiaotian, they have a good chance of advancing."
"Hopefully, Feng Xiaotian can adjust himself before the finals. Then we can defeat Godwind Academy head-on without giving them any ammunition," Dugu Yan said, expressing her thoughts.
"It doesn't matter. I'll take action. Even if it leaves room for gossip, with me here, who would dare to talk nonsense?"
