Although Chu Ling was so imposing, Cang Yue's pride wouldn't allow her to fail like this, and as the Queen of Ice, Cang Yue's resilience was second to none.
Therefore, the match between the two can be described as a contest of who has a stronger will and who has a more persistent desire for victory. Cang Yue keeps summoning more powerful ice, and Chu Ling also retaliates with even more powerful force.
Huge icebergs, sturdy ice shields, sharp ice spikes, and even towering ice soldiers— Cang Yue's attack methods are endless, each with its own unique effects.
Unfortunately, none of these attacks could harm Chu Ling, and because her space for maneuver was restricted, Cang Yue was ultimately forced to confront Chu Ling head-on.
When Chu Ling's long spear met Cang Yue's Ice Seal for Ten Thousand Miles, the outcome was already clear. In the end, Chu Ling broke through Cang Yue's defenses and delivered the decisive blow.
Faced with defeat, Cang Yue remained calm and did not react hysterically, because she knew that the two were evenly matched, and it wouldn't be surprising if either of them won or lost.
After that, the final results of the competition were announced: the four finalists were Zhen Hong, Kurumi, Qi Ling, and Chu Ling.
After the match, Shi Meng told everyone to go back and rest. As soon as they got back to their lodgings, Xiluo, Xiao Ye, and the others surrounded them and started asking about Qi Ling and Luna's match.
Upon learning that Luna had lost to Zhen Hong, everyone felt it was a pity, but there was nothing they could do. Even Xiluo said, "What a shame, it was that woman? If it was her, Luna, you don't need to be too sad. Even I can't quite see through that girl."
" Qi Ling, if you can defeat Chu Ling, then it's highly likely that your final showdown will be against Zhen Hong. Have you thought about how you're going to deal with her?"
Qi Ling honestly replied, "No, in fact, I don't even think I could defeat her."
Zhen Hong's strength is clearly beyond their level by a whole realm. Qi Ling's fight against Chu Ling is already a 50/50 situation. If she doesn't fight with all her might, she has no hope of winning.
After all, judging from today's situation, Chu Ling's determination to win is extremely strong. Such a person is determined, powerful, and not easy to deal with.
After the discussion yielded no results, Qi Ling Qi Ling returned to her room. At that moment, she suddenly remembered that before she left, the Blood Devil had given her a brocade pouch and instructed her to only open it when she was at her wit's end.
"The finals are tomorrow, so this should be the last moment, right?" Qi Ling pondered. "That guy boasted that as long as you open it at the last minute, the thing inside will definitely help you solve your troubles. Is it really true?"
With this feeling of doubt in mind, Qi Ling took out the brocade pouch and placed it on the table, pondering whether this situation could be considered the final stage.
Just as Qi Ling made his decision and was about to open the brocade pouch, Qi Ling suddenly stopped. He felt the surrounding temperature drop significantly, and a chill came from outside the door, seemingly announcing the identity of its owner.
With such a grand entrance, it was obvious who she was. Although she didn't know what she was there for, Qi Ling still stepped forward, opened the door, and said, "Oh, Your Majesty, what brings you here so late?"
The person outside the door was Cang Yue. She walked into Qi Ling's room and sat down in a chair as if she were back in her own home, without any worries.
"Close the door, I have something to tell you," Cang Yue said.
"Huh? Close the door?" Qi Ling exclaimed in surprise. "This... this isn't appropriate, is it? Cang Yue, we're a man and a woman alone in a room. If something were to happen, who could say for sure what would happen!"
"And even if nothing happens, if others find out, nobody will believe us. Who will know what we were really doing..."
"Shut up! You stinky man!" Cang Yue said angrily, "Just do as I say and close the door! Honestly, why do you keep talking so much nonsense?"
Qi Ling closed the door helplessly, then looked at Cang Yue and said, "Alright, now you can say whatever you want to say, right?"
"Sit down and talk. I'm not used to people talking to me like this while standing in front of me," Cang Yue said.
After Qi Ling sat down opposite Cang Yue, Cang Yue suddenly reached out, grabbed Qi Ling's collar, pulled him in front of her, and began to examine his face.
Qi Ling felt uncomfortable under Cang Yue's gaze and said helplessly, "Your Majesty, this isn't the first time we've met. Why are you staring at me like that? Whatever your needs, I will do my best to fulfill them!"
After scrutinizing her for a while, Cang Yue finally said, "Hmm, just as I expected, you're destined for greatness."
"I'm giving you a task: defeat Chu Ling in tomorrow's match!"
Qi Ling was taken aback and said, "Well, even if you hadn't said it, I still had to defeat Chu Ling to advance to the next round. That's too easy a requirement."
"That's different! You defeating Chu Ling to advance to the next round and win the championship is your own business," Cang Yue said with a slight smile. "But now, I want you to beat that guy for me!"
Qi Ling was taken aback, wondering if her Devil Blood was finally starting to take effect. What Cang Yue was saying sounded very different.
Cang Yue blushed slightly and continued, "Don't think nonsense! I didn't come here to talk about those kinds of things! Qi Ling, dealing with Chu Ling will be my final test for you. After that, I need your help."
"Hmm? What kind of help?" Qi Ling asked.
"You don't need to know that! Just be prepared," Cang Yue said. "This matter is extremely important to me, so I must make sure that the person I find is absolutely trustworthy."
"And now it seems, Qi Ling, you are the only one who meets my standards, which is why I came to find you."
Qi Ling didn't immediately agree to Cang Yue's request. Instead, she smiled and said, "Your Majesty, from what you've said, this matter must be very dangerous. Otherwise, you wouldn't have taken so long to think about it."
"If that's the case, what benefit would I gain from paying such a high price? I can't just be helping you for nothing, can I?"
Cang Yue wasn't angry at Qi Ling's words. She simply said, "Indeed, you're right. I would feel bad if I let you help me for nothing. I'm the kind of person who never likes to owe others anything."
Qi Ling was surprised to hear Cang Yue's words. He had thought that Cang Yue would probably use the things that had happened between them as a condition to get Qi Ling to agree, but he did not expect that her personality was even stronger and more straightforward than he had thought.
