After this match concluded, one-on-one and two-on-two-versus-three contests had originally been planned. However, Xu Jiujiu had already acknowledged Shrek Academy's strength.
She knew that even if those two matches continued, victory might not necessarily fall into their hands, so she tacitly conceded victory to Shrek Academy. This victory seemed to carry a touch of cleverness, yet it also seemed like pure good luck.
If Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong had not held back their trump cards, this victory might have changed hands. And the move Ma Xiaotao used to break through Xu Jiujiu's defenses had come at the cost of her evil fire. Seeing this, Lin Qianyi hurried back to the hotel with Ma Xiaotao to help suppress her evil fire. After that fierce confrontation, everyone else gradually dispersed as well.
This victory was like a fortunate encounter. Huo Yuhao thought to himself. There was a hint of relief in his eyes, but also lingering fear. He exchanged a glance with Wang Dong, and both of them understood the sense of release that came after the tension.
"We can't always rely on luck. Next time, we have to become stronger," Wang Dong said softly. At that moment, Ma Xiaotao was plagued by her evil fire. Though she felt joy over their victory, she felt even more irritation and unease from the evil fire.
Lin Qianyi tightly held her hand, as though she wanted to pass her strength on to her. "Don't worry. I'll stay with you." Her words were soft, yet they carried immense weight, bringing Ma Xiaotao tremendous comfort.
The others who had left walked with steps that were either light or heavy. Their figures gradually disappeared into the twilight, leaving only the arena behind to silently recount the fierce battle that had just taken place.
