Chapter 138: Chapter 120: A Friendly Contest Chapter 138: Chapter 120: A Friendly Contest The outcome was already decided.
The students in the hall, who had been highly concentrated throughout, gradually came back to their senses, their eyes filled with lingering astonishment.
“Bronze Level… can actually be this strong?”
Even though all the students in the hall were geniuses from various academies, there was still a huge gap between them.
Compared to the first two battles, the battle between Xiang Dingqian and Chen Jiujun finally showed everyone what a truly spectacular and evenly matched fight between strong opponents looked like!
Both sides used endless tactics.
Even the final victory was only decided by a hair’s breadth!
At the East Pole Academy, Fang Mingyu clapped his hands and exclaimed, “Xiang Dingqian and Chen Jiujun, these two are really incredible.
If I were to go up, it would be hard to say who would win.
Demon Capital Academy is one thing.
But even Wanzhou Academy, ranked twelfth, has such a powerful genius.”
Next to him, Cai Fanghua was also staring at the field, looking eager to try.
At Wanzhou Academy, Ling Long fixed her gaze on the field, her expression slightly grave.
“Even Jiujun lost.
No wonder Xiang Dingqian of the Capitol City Xiang Family is so formidable!
It’s said that Xiang Dingkun of Capitol City College is even stronger than his brother Xiang Dingqian.
I wonder how strong he is.
Additionally… according to Xiang Dingqian just now, it seems he too was defeated by the person Jiujun talked about… hmm?
Could it be that person!”
Ling Long looked toward Demon Capital Academy’s direction and noticed two more people had appeared at some point.
On the field, Xiang Dingqian glanced at Chen Jiujun once more before putting away his lance and preparing to step down.
Although he had narrowly won this match, his physical strength and star power were greatly depleted.
He could no longer sustain another battle.
As Xiang Dingqian turned around, he immediately saw Su Yuan surrounded by Xia Yue, Shang Baiyu, and others.
“When did he arrive?”
Xiang Dingqian was startled.
Thinking of what he had just said, he felt somewhat embarrassed, turned his head slightly, and walked down without a word.
“That battle was fantastic.” As Xiang Dingqian walked by, Su Yuan suddenly spoke.
Xiang Dingqian paused, nodded slightly, then walked to the back to rest.
Su Yuan signaled to Shang Baiyu, who smiled knowingly and went to heal Xiang Dingqian.
“I was defeated by someone who was defeated by Su Yuan?
I don’t even qualify to challenge him?” Chen Jiujun, sitting slumped on the stage, was still somewhat in a daze.
A green-haired girl hurried out from the Wanzhou Academy’s team and helped Chen Jiujun up, asking anxiously, “Are you okay?”
“The wound isn’t deep, just hugely exhausted.” Chen Jiujun shook his head slightly.
Just as he was about to say something, he lifted his head and saw Su Yuan standing among the Demon Capital Academy crowd.
“Su Yuan?!” Chen Jiujun’s face suddenly changed.
The green-haired girl also looked up.
“Is that the person you’ve always wanted to defeat?”
Chen Jiujun said urgently, “Yes!
He Lu, quickly transfer your star power…”
Halfway through his words, Chen Jiujun’s expression stiffened.
He sighed, “Forget it, let’s go back.”
The green-haired girl asked puzzledly, “Why forget it?
I’ve stored enough star power for Bronze Early Stage to fully replenish yours.”
Chen Jiujun shook his head, “If I had won this match, I’d certainly continue to challenge.
But now that I’ve lost to Xiang Dingqian from Demon Capital, it’s not the right time to challenge him.”
With that, Chen Jiujun turned around and walked back, with the green-haired girl carefully supporting him.
…
“Hey, it seems like Demon Capital Academy has one more person?
That white-haired girl looks impressive…”
“Do you only look at girls?
There’s also a boy who wasn’t there before.”
“Now that you mention it, it seems so…
Could he be Su Yuan?”
“Huh?
Yeah, he must be!”
Everyone had been engrossed in the intense fight earlier.
Now that the battle was over, people quickly noticed the two new individuals at Demon Capital Academy and started discussing.
“Is that Su Yuan they’ve been talking about?” Cai Fanghua examined Su Yuan.
Fang Mingyu smiled, “What, you want to try?”
“Of course.” Cai Fanghua responded, walking directly forward, “Saying he’s so powerful, let’s see how strong he really is!”
Cai Fanghua’s steps were light and agile.
After reaching the real battlefield, she approached Demon Capital Academy.
“East Pole Academy, Cai Fanghua,” Cai Fanghua looked at Su Yuan in the crowd, her eyes sharp, “Fellow student, are you willing to have a spar?”
Another challenger for Su Yuan?
Everyone at Demon Capital Academy was stunned and looked at Su Yuan.
Su Yuan was also surprised, not expecting that he would be targeted by a top student from another academy soon after arriving.
Was it because of Chen Jiujun?
Xia Yue seemed to sense Su Yuan’s confusion and whispered, “Besides Chen Jiujun wanting to challenge you, Xiang Dingqian also said he was defeated by you just now…”
“Is that so…” Su Yuan nodded.
Originally, he had planned to come over after receiving the news to see Chen Jiujun.
Unexpectedly, Xiang Dingqian helped him out.
But now that he was already here, and Demon Capital Academy seemed to be targeted, he might as well stay and support them to prevent Demon Capital Academy from being overwhelmed.
Unexpectedly, someone came to challenge him directly.
“Well, let’s settle this quickly.”
Su Yuan nodded and stepped out of the crowd.
Su Yuan would certainly not avoid it when someone came to challenge him.
But if he went up, Xia Yue, Du Tao, and the others might not get a chance.
Going up and down repetitively was too bothersome.
It was better to solve it all at once.
Seeing Su Yuan on stage, Mu Qingyu timely reminded, “Su Yuan, you…
be ‘gentle.’ Teacher Xiao He said not to severely injure others.”
Shang Baiyu also reminded, “As long as it’s not severe injuries, I can heal them today.
But if it’s severe, then…”
Xia Yue candidly said, “Don’t cause too much damage.
We’re entering the Secret Realm tomorrow.
Be careful they don’t come for revenge!”
Su Yuan raised an eyebrow, turning to ask, “Am I that heavy-handed?”
Xia Yue and the others didn’t reply, but their expressions seemed to say, “Heavy or not, don’t you know yourself?”
Shaking his head, Su Yuan quickly went up the stage.
“Demon Capital Academy, Su Yuan.”
But Cai Fanghua frowned and looked displeased.
“Your academy seems to have great confidence in you?”
Cai Fanghua had approached for a challenge, so she’d heard everything Xia Yue and the others said.
What’s with “don’t cause too much damage” and “as long as it’s not severe injuries, we can heal today…”
Are you looking down on me?!
As one of East Pole Academy’s Gemini, when had she ever been so underestimated?!
Today, she’d make Su Yuan look bad!
“They’re just joking.
Don’t take it seriously.”
Su Yuan was also somewhat speechless.
His teammates seemed skilled at drawing enmity.
“Hmph!” Cai Fanghua snorted, “Ready?
I’m about to start!”
Su Yuan nodded, “Let’s begin.”
With that, Su Yuan quickly made sealing gestures with both hands.

Since he was facing a top expert from a first-class academy, he assumed the opponent was at least on par with Mu Qingyu and Zhang Tai.
Against such a level opponent, the Netherfire Steel Bone Wolf was fairly limited.
Hence, he prepared to use Hellfire immediately!
“A magician, eh?”
Seeing Su Yuan making sealing gestures, Cai Fanghua chuckled, her feet lightly touching the ground as she swiftly darted out like a flitting butterfly, moving with incredible speed!
“What terrifying speed!” Students from various academies watching were startled.
“At this speed, that Su Yuan will probably be hit before he finishes his magic technique!”
In formal spars, participants usually started with some distance apart to give magicians time to cast their spells.
Otherwise, standing face-to-face would be too disadvantageous for Star Card Masters who excelled at long-range.
Fang Mingyu smiled unsurprisingly, “Dealing with a magician is much simpler for Fanghua.”
However, when Fang Mingyu looked towards Demon Capital Academy, he saw the people there with calm expressions, not showing a hint of worry.
“What’s going on?” Fang Mingyu frowned, sensing something was off.
