123: Promotional match! Monster Academy vs. Shrek Academy

Chapter 123: Promotion Tournament! Monster Academy vs. Shrek Academy

“Don’t tell me, this guy is quite handsome,” Qian Renxue muttered to herself, looking at the extremely close face before her.

Soon, both of them raised their wine cups simultaneously, looked up, and drank the cross-cupped wine.

“I actually did something so absurd with him,” Qian Renxue was very surprised by her own behavior after drinking.

In her eyes, cross-cupped wine was a ceremony at a wedding or before the bridal chamber, yet she had done such a thing with this man.

After drinking, Qian Renxue wanted to quickly escape Ye Wen’s body.

But just then, Ye Wen’s hand suddenly stroked Qian Renxue’s face, and he said playfully, “Brother Xue, now that I look closely, I find your face is truly fair and delicate!”

Their faces were even closer now, almost to the point where their noses would touch.

“Ah~” At that instant, Qian Renxue’s heart suddenly panicked, almost crying out.

Her heartbeat inexplicably accelerated intensely; her face had actually been touched!

“This guy! This guy!”

“Is he interested in men? Him!” Qian Renxue suppressed her anger.

She still had to feign a smile on her face.

She had originally intended to get Ye Wen drunk to inquire about things she wanted to know, but in the end, she didn’t get any answers and was even hugged and touched by this guy.

Almost all of her private parts were nearly touched by this guy!

Qian Renxue didn’t want to continue, so she quickly pretended she couldn’t drink anymore to make Ye Wen leave, otherwise, she knew how much more liberties Ye Wen would take.

“Hehe,” Qian Renxue gave two awkward laughs, pushing away Ye Wen’s hand, pretending she couldn’t handle it: “Brother Ye Wen, let’s leave it at this today.

We’ll meet another day... another day.

You can go back.”

After speaking, Qian Renxue pretended to be drunk and collapsed onto the table.

“Brother Xue! I’ll help you into your room to sleep!”

“No need to trouble yourself, you... you go back,” Qian Renxue remained sprawled, waving her hand to signal Ye Wen to leave.

“Hey, Brother Xue, since you and I address each other as brothers, what’s a small matter like this? Come, I’ll carry you in,” Ye Wen said, looking unconcerned.

“Carry!? Carry!!”

Before Qian Renxue could react, Ye Wen directly lifted her in a princess carry.

“Ah~” At that instant, Qian Renxue let out a surprised cry.

“His hands… his hands!!!”

Ye Wen’s palms, one hand gripped her buttocks, and the other hand passed around Qian Renxue’s slender waist, almost pressing against her chest!

“Brother Xue, why… why did you make such a sound?” Ye Wen asked, looking puzzled.

“Ah ah ah ah~!!! Bastard! This bastard!!! How could he! How could he!” Qian Renxue was going crazy internally, screaming frantically.

Although she was in a male state, what difference was there between being touched as a woman?

To her, there was no difference at all, which made her incredibly shy and furious!

Never! No one had ever touched her in such private places!

This guy, actually had one hand on her butt, and the other hand, the other hand...

“Damn it!! This bastard!!”

At this moment, Qian Renxue wished she could chop off Ye Wen’s hands.

“Hehe, she’s quite tolerant.

Perhaps because she’s in a male body, she doesn’t care? Indeed, being touched in a disguised male body isn’t her true body,” Ye Wen thought Qian Renxue didn’t mind:

“However, even though I clearly know she is the extremely beautiful Qian Renxue, teasing her in a male body is really… not very exciting, so let’s stop here.”

Ye Wen stopped his actions, carried her to the bed, and prepared to leave.

He carried Qian Renxue all the way, pushed open her room door, and inside, there was no trace of a woman, not even a single strand of female hair.

Qian Renxue was already too ashamed to bear it.

To prevent Ye Wen from noticing her unusual reaction, she had already feigned sleep.

“Hehe.”

Ye Wen glanced at her, a smile in his heart, and didn’t linger further.

He went to Qian Renxue’s bed, gently placed her on it, took off her shoes and socks, then covered her with the quilt, and turned to leave.

After Ye Wen turned around, Qian Renxue had already opened her eyes, silently watching the young man’s departing back.

Her heart, on this night, had a feeling she had never experienced before.

She softly murmured his name: “Ye Wen.”

After leaving, Ye Wen looked back at the Crown Prince’s palace: “Qian Renxue! Now that Tang San has been suppressed by me, he won’t have the chance to meet Dugu Bo.

He probably won’t be able to save Emperor Xue Ye, whom you poisoned.

I guess I’ve helped you with that.”

“Hehe.”

He shook his head with a smile and left the imperial palace.

Seven days later.

The fifteen teams that advanced from the Heaven Dou competition zone were all brought to the Soul Master Competition, the promotion tournament venue for the second stage.

There was no elimination in the promotion tournament; this stage was mainly for the priority of byes in the grand finals.

The grand finals format involved 33 teams competing.

In the first round, the Spirit Hall Team, Heaven Dou Team One, and Star Luo Team One, as seeded teams, received three byes.

In the second round, the first-place teams from the two competition zones’ promotion tournaments received byes, and so on for the third round.

Therefore, the ranking in the promotion tournament could determine how many fewer matches one had to play in the grand finals, allowing them to advance further.

The promotion tournament matches were not team battles but 1v1 arena battles.

For example, if Monster Academy played against Shrek Academy.

Both academies would each send out seven members, who would then compete one by one in 1v1 matches.

The winner continued to fight, while the loser was replaced, until all seven members of one team had lost, and the match ended.

This was the promotion tournament, also adopting a single-round robin format, where each team had to play against every other team, with rankings determined by the number of wins.

Fortunately, Monster Academy’s first opponent in the promotion tournament was none other than Shrek Academy!

Ye Wen had long wanted to crush Shrek Academy; they had conceded in the preliminary round, so there was no opportunity then.

This time, they shouldn’t concede directly, right?

“My chance has come!” Tang San tightly clenched his fists.

He had been waiting for this moment.

During the preliminary round, Tang San had also been diligently practicing the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Method.

Now, with the Batwing Reincarnation technique, he was confident he could defeat Ye Wen, and even, in this battle, administer a slow-acting poison to Ye Wen to kill him!

But Tang San’s only concern was that Ye Wen would be the last to appear, because he knew very well that his teammates would not be able to hold out until Ye Wen appeared.

“The promotion tournament is about to begin!”

“First round, Monster Academy versus Shrek Academy!”

“Both academies, please quickly decide on your seven combatants, including the order of appearance!” the host shouted.

“Hehe, I’ll fight this one.

I’ll take on all seven and make Shrek Academy lose all face.

After this match, I won’t participate in the remaining ones; I’ll leave them to you,” Ye Wen chuckled, planning to be the first to fight.

Although there was no elimination in the promotion tournament, it still concerned the academy’s prestige and reputation.

Being defeated by a single person taking on all seven would be a great insult to the academy.
