A crescent-shaped energy descended towards Long Lan's back.
Zhu Zhuqing had already guessed Long Lan's plan when Long Lan released his third Soul Skill.
By taking advantage of Soul Division distraction, he made the opponent believe that the only clone that had escaped his control was the real body.
However, in reality, her true form is hidden within the controlled figure.
However, Zhu Zhuqing's approach naturally carries risks.
If he couldn't hide it from Long Lan, he would be putting himself in a very dangerous situation.
However, the final outcome was clearly worthwhile!
Zhu Zhuqing wins!
Just as Zhu Zhuqing's attack was about to land on Long Lan, a teacher from the Spirit Hall Academy, dressed in a moon-white robe, appeared behind Long Lan.
Zhu Zhuqing's attack was extremely tricky.
At this moment, Long Lan had no chance to stop them.
After taking this hit head-on, Long Lan will definitely lose the ability to retaliate.
So he didn't stand idly by any longer and took action!
A Soul Ring flashed on the Spirit Hall Academy teacher's body, and a white light enveloped Long Lan, weakening the crescent-shaped slash that landed on Long Lan's back.
This is the limitation of academy competitions. With the academy's teachers looking after them, there won't be any major life-or-death crises, so it's more of a friendly exchange of skills.
Of course, if a student in the competition speaks up and does not want the teacher to interfere with the competition results, that's fine.
Unless it's a life-or-death crisis, he will choose to respect the students and will not intervene.
Feeling the force falling behind him, a complex expression appeared on Long Lan's face.
He was just one step away from defeat at the hands of Zhu Zhuqing.
However, Long Lan was also very impressed by the other party's response.
Sure enough, it's no wonder that he became famous throughout the entire academy in just a few days.
Long Lan took a deep breath, her gaze fixed on Zhu Zhuqing as she turned to leave, a hint of fighting spirit rising in her eyes.
Defeating Long Lan was quite an achievement for Zhu Zhuqing.
After all, the opponent was not weak. If I hadn't handled things well, and the game dragged on, I might not have been able to win.
However, Zhu Zhuqing was unable to leave.
Just as Zhu Zhuqing stepped out of the arena, a red figure blocked her way.
Zhu Zhuqing felt the pressure emanating from the young man, her pupils contracted, and her gaze fell heavily on Yan.
The opponent's strength was perceived to be very high by Zhu Zhuqing.
It is far superior to the Long Lan that was just defeated.
Looking at the other person's signature long red hair and the flame patterns on their body, Zhu Zhuqing guessed the other person's identity.
The Spirit Hall Golden Generation —Yan!
"Huh? So you recognize me?"
Yan looked at Zhu Zhuqing with a hint of amusement. Although he was somewhat surprised by her figure and appearance, Yan knew very well what he wanted.
With his talent, and what he values.
It's not just about the other person's appearance...
"It's Yan! What brings him here?"
"With their strength, they probably wouldn't even bother participating in this arena battle, right?"
"Judging from this, it seems Yan knows Zhu Zhuqing?"
Everyone was chattering away, their attention completely drawn to Yan.
Even the two people who were about to start fighting on the stage stopped and looked in the direction of Yan and Zhu Zhuqing.
Everyone at the Spirit Hall Academy, or rather the Spirit Hall, knew of Yan's feelings for Hu Liena.
On the rooftop of a building in the teaching area, some distance from the competition arena.
Hu Liena sat leisurely on the edge, swinging her legs, her gaze fixed on the competition platform, a slight smile on her lips.
" Nana, is it really okay for you to scheme against Yan like this?"
Behind Hu Liena, a tall, slender man dressed in silver-white clothes, with a height of over 1.9 meters and pale skin, spoke softly.
The young man had red eyes, short silver hair with a strand of hair fading to red at the ends, and red butterfly patterns at the corners of his eyes. He bore a resemblance to Hu Liena.
He is Xie Yue, the leader of the Spirit Hall Golden Generation, and also Hu Liena's brother.
"Brother, don't talk nonsense. I didn't ask him to do anything; he wanted to go there himself."
Hu Liena turned her head and stuck out her tongue at Xie Yue, who was standing behind her, and said playfully.
Even though she was also a member of the Spirit Hall Golden Generation, she only showed this girlish side in front of her brother and teacher.
"You didn't intentionally let Yan make a move; you just Xiao Xin let him know that you were paying attention to Xiao Yan, and that's why he wanted to attack them."
Xie Yue shook his head, a hint of doting on his face.
If my younger sister were to casually reveal even a little bit of information, I wonder how many people would be willing to do things for her.
Just like that silly kid by the competition platform over there, isn't he?
Although they were both members of the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation, Xie Yue still had some reservations about Xie Yue wanting to become his brother-in-law.
If the three of them weren't on good terms, anyone else would probably have been grabbed by the scruff of the neck and thrown out of Spirit City by Xie Yue long ago.
Fortunately, his younger sister didn't have any romantic feelings for Yan.
This relieved Xie Yue from worrying that her younger sister would be deceived by the other party.
However, Xie Yue also knew that there was probably no one in this world who could fool his sister... right?
Do you really think that His Holiness the Pope's upbringing from childhood was a lie?
Hu Liena shook her head and said to Xie Yue:
"I didn't say anything; isn't this just his own guess?"
Perfect, let him go and find out how capable those two are.
Hu Liena clapped her hands and stood up from the edge of the roof.
The reason I paid so much attention to Xiao Yan was because of the information my teacher gave me outside the Pope's Palace.
"The same Twin Martial Souls as the teacher..."
Hu Liena gently raised her head, her face beaming with pride as she faced the sunlight, truly like a little fox.
If it weren't for the special information about Twin Martial Souls that sparked Hu Liena's interest in Xiao Yan, a Soul Ancestor who had just broken through to level forty.
They really didn't take Hu Liena and her group seriously.
Beside the arena, Yan looked at Zhu Zhuqing with a provocative gaze, glanced around, and sneered:
"Hey, where's the other one? Just a coward who always hides behind women?"
Yan did not lower his voice.
He's just here to cause trouble. If it weren't for Nana, he wouldn't have paid any attention to two useless people who just broke through to level 40.
A cold glint flashed in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes upon hearing Yan's words.
"Strange, judging from Yan's tone, it seems Zhu Zhuqing has a grudge against him..."
"Why is this involving cowards? Isn't this a huge scandal?!"
"I know, I know. I heard that Zhu Zhuqing enrolled with a boy, but I haven't seen her these past few days."
"I get it, family members, this is going to be interesting!"
"..."
Zhu Zhuqing frowned as she listened to the surrounding chatter, and her gaze toward Yan was filled with disgust.
She didn't like arguing, and listening to the surrounding chatter, all she wanted to do was tear their mouths apart!
