901: The old dean and his ulterior motives

For the spectators, this match was full of excitement, with the situation changing rapidly—enemies and friends were in a constant state of flux!

Huang Congliang's expression was very grim; a match that should have been a certain victory had somehow turned into this!

On the competition stage, Ye Tingnan was determined to join forces with Zhou Anye. Although they remained wary of each other, they both launched a frenzied assault on Huang Yuqi.

Although Huang Yuqi fought back desperately, she was simply no match for the two of them working together.

Another scream escaped her lips as her chest was once again caved in by Zhou Anye's blow, and one of her arms was severed by Ye Tingnan!

"Stop! We concede!"

Huang Congliang spoke up hurriedly, then reached out behind him. A gap instantly appeared in the defensive barrier, and he snatched the half-dead Huang Yuqi out!

Huang Yuqi spat out several mouthfuls of blood, her appearance exceptionally miserable.

Jiang Feiqiao, Liu Ceji, Fang Weijian, and the others glanced at Huang Yuqi with no pity in their eyes. This Genius of the Huang Family seemed to lack intelligence!

Huang Congliang's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, but Huang Yuqi was, after all, a Prodigy painstakingly nurtured by the Huang Family, and her combat strength was still quite good.

On the stage, with Huang Yuqi gone, Ye Tingnan and Zhou Anye fought intensely, locked in a stalemate.

In comparison, Zhou Anye had consumed more energy earlier when he was being double-teamed by Ye Tingnan and Huang Yuqi.

Although Ye Tingnan had been ambushed once by Huang Yuqi, his overall consumption was less than Zhou Anye's.

The ice attribute he cultivated also happened to have a certain restraining effect on Zhou Anye!

Therefore, it would not be an easy task for the two of them to determine a winner.

Ji Wuchang took one look and judged that if they continued to fight, both would only end up wounded, with no other possible outcome!

"Academy Head Zhang, there's no point in them continuing to fight. How about we call this match a draw?"

"As for the slots, our two sides will split them evenly!"

Just then, a middle-aged man from the Nine Nether Lineage spoke up.

Their eyes were even sharper, and they already knew what the result of continuing would be!

Zhang Zixu glanced at the middle-aged man and slowly nodded, agreeing to the proposal!

Standing below the stage, Huang Yuqi saw this result, her face turned pale, and she spat out another mouthful of blood.

The barrier opened, and Ye Tingnan and Zhou Anye flew off the competition stage at the same time.

With the results of the two matches decided, the expressions of the Five Great Forces were very ugly. Ten percent of the slots had already been divided up.

Ji Wuchang was about to move, but Zhou Haotian stopped him, saying with a smile, "Wuchang, wait a moment. Let's see how things play out first!"

"The Five Great Forces are desperate now. I wonder who they will arrange to fight this time?"

"What just happened should have taught them a lesson!"

Hearing this, Ji Wuchang nodded slightly and remained where he was.

At that moment, a man leaped up and stood on the competition stage; it was Yang Chenchao!

The Five Great Forces had lost two matches in a row and needed someone to win a match to boost morale, so Yang Chenchao was sent out!

Ji Wuchang glanced at Yang Chenchao and narrowed his eyes slightly. This guy's aura was fluctuating violently; it seemed he was suppressing his cultivation!

Zhang Zixu and several Masters beside him looked at each other, and after some discussion, to Ji Wuchang's surprise, the person they sent out was actually Qing Bingxia!

The Nine Nether Lineage, on the other hand, arranged for a person named Gu Shouxin to come out, whose strength was even greater than Zhou Anye's!

Ji Wuchang didn't react at first, but as soon as he saw Gu Shouye, he understood instantly.

The Academy Head and the others were doing this on purpose, letting the Five Great Forces and the Nine Nether Lineage fight to the death!

As for Qing Bingxia, her strength was at the bottom of the group, and the Academy Head and the others never expected her to win.

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Ji Wuchang's mouth. This was likely the Academy Head's counterattack for Huang Yuqi's earlier move.

On the stage, Gu Shouxin and Yang Chenchao stared at each other simultaneously, both feeling a threat from the other.

As for Qing Bingxia, although she possessed a ninth-level Celestial Phenomenon Realm cultivation, her aura was significantly weaker than theirs.

"Step down, lest you force us to take action!"

Gu Shouxin spoke directly to Qing Bingxia, a fierce look in his eyes.

Yang Chenchao also looked at Qing Bingxia with cold eyes, killing intent surging within them. He likewise did not want an unstable factor mixed in.

The lesson from Huang Yuqi's earlier action was still fresh in their minds!

Qing Bingxia's brow furrowed slightly; she felt very wronged, but at the same time, she felt a sense of powerlessness.

The aura of these two was indeed much stronger than hers. Facing them gave her a feeling similar to facing Senior Sister Feng Yindong.

She turned her gaze toward the Academy Head's direction, as she could not make the decision herself.

"Qing Bingxia, come down!"

"Since they want to fight for it with everything they've got, we in Jiangshan Academy will give them that chance!"

"We can afford to give up five percent of the slots!"

Zhang Zixu spoke with a smile; he wasn't at all surprised by this situation.

Originally, he had wanted to ally with the Five Great Forces to first deal with the people from the Nine Nether Lineage.

But Huang Yuqi's strike had served as a wake-up call; their cooperation was meaningless.

Hearing the Academy Head's words, Qing Bingxia couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and stepped directly off the competition stage.

The moment she left, Gu Shouxin and Yang Chenchao both let out a great shout and charged at each other.

The two of them now had no reservations and fought together in a frenzy.

They unleashed their Dharmic Manifestations, which سپس crashed into each other violently, the intense booming sounds echoing through the clouds!

In Gu Shouxin's hand, a massive bone appeared, which was naturally also a Supreme Bone.

Flames rolled off his body as the Nine Nether Hellfire appeared, clinging to the enormous bone. Wherever the fire went, the surroundings were instantly transformed into a sea of flames!

In Yang Chenchao's hand was a long spear, and atop the spear, golden light surged—this was the Metal attribute of the Five Elements.

Among the Five Elements, Metal itself represents sharpness, and combined with the spear, his attacks became increasingly fierce.

In addition, the spear in his hand was also a Quasi-Saint Weapon, so his attacks were equally terrifying.

The two were close in strength, and both were individuals with fierce offensive styles.

Seeing this scene, the Five Great Forces couldn't help but frown.

They were not fools; with just one look, they knew that Jiangshan Academy had done this on purpose.

Jiang Feiqiao looked at Huang Yuqi not far away and shook his head with a bitter smile. That girl from the Huang Family had been spoiled, turning a great situation into this.

At this moment, Huang Yuqi's face was pale. As she watched the battle on the stage, although her expression was calm, her heart was filled with extraordinary regret.

"Wuchang, you go for the next round, but don't reveal too much strength. Let them fight it out properly first!"

Zhou Haotian spoke with a smile.

Hearing this, Ji Wuchang nodded slightly.

His gaze turned toward the competition stage; he was also curious about who would ultimately win between the two.

If no variables appeared, based on his estimation, the final result of this battle would inevitably be a mutual loss!
