Chapter 65 You Already Have Me by Momo Baby

  "You... Leng Shixiong, this senior sister from your college is really impolite! We came to visit you with good intentions, what kind of attitude is this?!" The beautiful girl Shui Xingyan's eyes flashed with grievance as she complained, her eyes seeming to hold a misty moisture that appeared and disappeared.

  "She is my sister." He said coldly, he wasn't a passionate person, and didn't buy into that kind of nonsense.

  "Ah! So she's that idiot!" Shui Xinran said with feigned surprise.

  "How nice!" Huo Qing glared at her.

  "Sorry, Leng Shixiong, Xian Ran didn't mean to." Water Xian Ran said with a guilty face.

  "Can you leave now? We're going to have dinner." Leng Ruoxue coldly gave the order to dismiss her guests.

  "Sorry to disturb you." Huo Qing said somewhat helplessly, then pulled Shui Xian Ran away.

  "Hehe, Xue'er, Huo Qing has probably never been treated like this before." Leng Ruo Han said with a light smile.

  "Xue Er, that's the young master of the Huo family, a genius. I'm afraid no woman has ever treated him like that before!" Feng Mo Ran joked.

  "What's wrong with the young master of the Huo family? Even the master of the Huo family wouldn't dare disturb me when I'm eating." Leng Ruoxue said nonchalantly.

  "If it's snowing, that's quite domineering! However, after all, this is the Fire Family's territory, we should at least give the master some face!" said Autumn Elder with a mediating tone.

  "As the host, shouldn't you know not to disturb guests while they're eating?" Leng Ruoxue said, although she was annoyed by uninvited people, usually she wouldn't be as rude as just now, what she mainly disliked was that they didn't even knock on the door before bursting in.

  At this time, a knock at the door sounded, and the shopkeeper walked in, followed by two young men, each holding a plate of dishes.

  "Ladies and gentlemen, this is our young master's gift to make amends to you all." The shopkeeper said with a smile.

  "No need for apologies, shopkeeper. Remember this: from now on, no one is allowed to disturb us while we're dining." Cold Snow warned.

  "Yes, I knew it." The shopkeeper wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Good heavens! How can this young lady have such a strong presence?

  "Shopkeeper, there's nothing much to do here, you don't have to wait on us anymore," Leng Qingtian said. With outsiders standing around, how could they eat with relish?

  "All right, take your time." The shopkeeper retreated very sensibly.

  After dinner, Old Man Qiu said he wanted to go out and find Cong Min, while the others went back to their rooms to rest. However, Ye Chen followed Xue Er to her room.

  "Aren't you tired?" Leng Ruoxue looked at the demon who followed her with some curiosity, she hadn't been sleeping well lately and now only wanted to sleep well.

  "I want to talk with you!" The night sky was full of stars, and his black eyes were shining with unshed tears, looking as pitiful as possible.

  "Alright then, let's talk!" He looked rather pitiful.

  "Xue Er, that Huo Qing is ranked second in the handsome men's ranking list, he is the dream lover of all women!" The two chatted casually for a while before Ye Chen suddenly said.

  "What's the big deal, do I have to like him just because other women do?" Leng Ruo Xue retorted, a man like Huo Qing who prioritizes family interests above all else is absolutely not her type. To be her man, he must put her first.

  "You're not allowed to like him, you already have me!" Ye Chen said very seriously.

  "Want to be my man? Let's see your performance!" Leng Ruoxue said, she could not care about a man's identity or status, but wanting to be her man was not that easy.

  "I'll let you know, I'm the only one who suits you." Ye Chen said very seriously, although he had always regarded himself as Xue Er's fiancé and liked to call her "wife" when there were many people around, but he had never spoken such words so solemnly.

  "Good, I'm waiting with bated breath!"

  Just sent away Ye Chen, and welcomed Autumn Elder.

  "If Snow, couldn't find Cong Min." Out to look for Cong Min's return autumn old man, just walked into the room of Ruo Xue and said directly, after tomorrow will start the competition, but Cong Min has gone missing, this can not help but make him worry.

  "Autumn is long, calm and composed, the competition will only start in a few days, there's still time." Lan Ruoxue comforted.

  "Uh, I'll go find her tomorrow," said Autumn Elder. Chun Mian was going to participate in the instrument master competition, and without her, it wouldn't be possible.

  Saw off Old Man Qiu, Leng Ruo Xue simply washed up and went to sleep.

  The streets of Yueyang are bustling with people, lively and extraordinary.

  "Grandpa, where are we going?" Today, early in the morning, she, her brother and Ye Chen were all taken out by Grandpa.

  "Let's go to the market and take a look around," Leng Qingtian said. "The shopkeeper told me that there is a market today."

  "Grandpa is interested in the market?" No wonder there are suddenly more people on the street today.

  "I heard that there will be many special products from Nanxi Country at the market, so I came to take a look." Leng Qingtian said with some longing.

  “……”

  After arriving at the market, Leng Ruo Xue discovered that there were quite a few vendors selling snacks. It seemed that her grandfather had come for these snacks all along. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but break out in cold sweat on her forehead.

  "Xu'er, try this, it's sour and sweet, very delicious, a specialty of Nanxi country." Leng Jingtian said, directly handing Leng Ruoxue a string of red fruit threaded on a thin wooden stick.

  Isn't this a sugar gourd? I didn't expect Nanxi Country to have such a thing. Cold as Snow took one and bit into it, the taste wasn't bad.

  Four people ate and shopped together, strolling for most of the day before reluctantly returning to 'Yalan Pavilion'.

  "What's wrong?" After Leng Ruoxue and the others returned, they directly went to the reception room prepared for them in 'Ya Lan Pavilion'. As soon as they entered, they felt that the atmosphere was somewhat off.

  "Miss, Cong Min has been found." Feng Da said in a low voice.

  "Found it?" Leng Ruoxue looked at Feng Da with some skepticism. How could the face of Qiu Changlao still be so ugly even after finding it?

  "Cong Min refused to come back and participate in the competition, she and Qiu Lao had conditions." Feng Da explained, because he was with Qiu Lao when they found Cong Min, so he was very clear about what happened.

  "What conditions?"

  "She asked Miss to withdraw from the competition, otherwise she would refuse to participate." Feng Da said with a snort. That woman was really overestimating herself, daring to use this to threaten them.

  "Autumn Elder, does Cong Mian want to withdraw from the competition?" Leng Ruoxue walked directly in front of Autumn Elder after hearing Feng Da's words.

  "Uh-huh."

  "Let her withdraw!" said Leng Ruoxue calmly.

  "If Snow doesn't participate, then we won't have anyone to compete in the instrument master competition." Autumn Elder said somewhat gloomily. If they couldn't participate in the instrument master competition, it would affect their overall score. But as for Cong Min's condition, he was impossible to agree to.

  "Is nobody going? Then I'll go!" Leng Ruoxue said, although she didn't want to show off, but there were always people who wouldn't let her be low-key.

  "Ah..." Old Man Qiu's eyes widened in shock as he stared at Leng Ruoxue, "This lass actually knows how to refine equipment?"

  "Why can't I?" Lan Xue's beautiful eyes stared unwaveringly at Autumn Elder.

  "Really? Really? Ruo Xue, did you really master the art of refining equipment?" asked Autumn Elder with some concern.

  "I understand a bit," said Leng Ruoxue, although she had only learned the basics of Master's equipment refining technique, it was enough to cope with this kind of competition.

  Leng Ruo Xue's words couldn't help but make Leng Qing Tian and others' foreheads drip with black lines. You pervert, if you only understood a bit, those high-ranking alchemy masters wouldn't even need to bother.

  "It's good that someone understands, it's better than no one participating at all!" Autumn old man said with relief, and the worry just now also disappeared.

  "Right, Yuexue, I still need to go to Yueying Academy later to draw lots and get the competition number."

  "Uh-huh."

  "Old Qiu, how is tomorrow's schedule arranged?" asked Leng Ruoxue.

  "The first three days of competition are called the Great Chaos, but it has nothing to do with our college," explained Elder Qiu.

  "What's going on?" asked Leng Ruoxue.

  "Xue Er, let me explain it to you!" said Leng Ruo Han.

  "On the continent of Lingfeng, there are over 150 large and small academies. Each academy sends out 30 spirit masters, which adds up to several thousand people. Due to the large number of participants, it's impossible to have one-on-one battles, so for the first three days, they will adopt a free-for-all format for the group stage. Only the top 50 academies from the first round can advance to the next round, and after the three-day free-for-all ends, only 20 academies can participate in the official competition, making the competition extremely fierce."

  "Our college, as last year's runner-up, does not need to participate in the group stage." Leng Ruohan added.

  "So in that case, we don't have anything to worry about for the next three days?" asked Leng Ruo Xue.

  "How can nothing happen? We have to go and watch! What if a dark horse emerges?" said Autumn Old Man, wanting to know the outcome.

  "Xue Er, the big fight is very intense and exciting," said Leng Ruohan.

  "Let's go take a look tomorrow!" said Leng Ruoxue, seeing that others seemed quite interested.

  The next day, they arrived early at the Moon Shadow Academy's competition venue. Looking at the enthusiastic crowd, even Leng Ruoxue couldn't bear to sleep in anymore. However, sitting in the seats arranged by Moon Shadow Academy for them, she felt a bit drowsy.

  "The match will start when I call you." Leng Ruo Xue said, and directly closed her eyes.

  "Good." Leng Ruo Han said coldly.

  "Xue Er, the group match has already started." Ye Chen called out softly.

  "Hmm, where's brother?" Cold Snow slowly opened her beautiful eyes, looked around, but didn't see Cold Han.

  "The fire department sent someone to escort him away." Ye Chen explained.

  "What?" Leng Ruoxue's spirits lifted somewhat upon hearing this. She was truly worried about her brother being alone with those people.

  "Don't worry, I've got Feng Da to follow him, no one dares to bully your precious brother." Ye Chen said with a tinge of sourness in his heart, when would Xue Er be so concerned about him?!

  "Has Xue'er woken up?" Just as he said this, Leng Ruohan returned.

  "Is brother okay?" asked Leng Ruo Xue with concern.

  "It's nothing." Leng Ruo Han said with a hint of amusement, Xue Er was just too worried about him.

  The first round of the grand melee is divided into five small groups, with 30 colleges in each group. Only the top 10 colleges advance to the next round. This means that on the first day, 60 colleges will be eliminated and stop at the college trial stage. The group match is limited to three hours, after which the score and ranking of each college will be determined by the number of people on the field.

  "Today, quite a few nobles from Nanyue have arrived, and the imperial family has also sent representatives." Leng Qingtian said casually as he swept his gaze over the people sitting in the VIP seats.

  "Although it's just a group match, the competition is very fierce. Many of these families come with the hope of selecting some talented individuals to serve them." Elder Qiu explained that the preliminary stage of the Academy Competition was not open to ordinary people, and even if the big families wanted to watch, they had to ask for permission, otherwise they couldn't get in.

  "What if three hours later, when it's over, there isn't a single person left on stage?" asked Leng Ruoxue with some curiosity.

  "That's impossible. For the first two and a half hours of the chaotic battle, everyone was in a state of watching and waiting, and no one would take action. The last half hour was the real competition." Leng Ruohan explained.

  "What's the point of just sitting here, can't you all come in half an hour later?" Leng Ruo Xue said impatiently, looking at the team standing still on stage, was it going to be a staring contest?

  "Little girl, did you think those people were all here to watch the battle?" Leng Qingtian shook his head, saying somewhat helplessly.

  She certainly wouldn't think that those people were just watching without any purpose, but sitting like this was really boring. Moreover, Cold Snow discovered that she seemed to be getting more and more impulsive, or it could be said that she had always been so by nature!

  "Xue Er, did you see that man wearing a deep red robe?" Leng Ruo Han pointed at the very eye-catching red-robed man on stage and said.

  "Hmm, what's wrong with him?"

  "Xu'er, that person is called Di Fei. He's the number one expert from Fei Niao Academy and has very strong abilities. In last year's individual tournament, he was fourth place." Leng Ruo Han explained.

  "Ling Wang's Peak." Leng Ruo Xue said carefully sizing up Di Fei.

  "Three years ago, he was just a primary spirit king. On the 'Genius Ranking List', he ranked fifth." Leng Ruohan said again.

  "The man in blue sitting on the Moon Shadow Academy side is called Pang Sen, he's the number one genius of Moon Shadow Academy. He was third place in last year's individual tournament and also ranked third in the 'Genius Rankings'."

  He also has a twin brother named Pang Lin, who is ranked ninth in the "Genius Rankings" and was eighth place in the previous individual tournament.

  "As for Long Sheng College, apart from Huo Qing, Ye Xiao is also a tough opponent. He ranked fourth in the 'Genius Rankings' and got fifth place in the individual competition last time." Leng Ruo Han continued to introduce them as Snow's greatest opponents.

  "Brother, among those people, only Huo Qing is my opponent." Leng Ruo Xue said with great confidence.

  "Hmm, Huo Qing is now a mid-level Ling Huang, Xue Er you must be careful!" Leng Ruo Han reminded, as the young master of the Huo family, Huo Qing would not only have the methods that everyone saw.

  "Brother, don't worry, I'll be careful."

  After waiting for more than two hours, the people on the battlefield finally started moving.

  "Bang! Bang! Bang!" Only to see people coming and going on the field, with someone being kicked out of bounds constantly.

  As the game time decreased bit by bit, the chaotic battle on stage became more and more intense.

  More and more people were knocked out of the field, while those who remained in the field became even more cautious. As soon as a whistle sounded, everyone inside stopped at once. After the referee finished counting the number of people, he immediately arranged for the second group to enter the field. After all three groups had finished competing, the first day's competition came to an end.

  Leng Ruo Xue and others returned to 'Ya Lan Ge', finished dinner and rested early.

  The second day of the grand melee had only two group matches, and like yesterday, the last half hour was the real battle. After all five group matches were over, the 50 colleges that could advance to the next round of the grand melee were also freshly baked.

  The third day of the competition was the last and most important day of the college grand melee, with 50 colleges divided into two groups after a draw. After all matches in both groups ended, another 30 colleges were eliminated, adding to the top three finishers from the previous year, leaving 23 colleges qualified for the next round of competition.

  The college grand melee will end after two days of rest and then continue with other matches.

  The five-story 'Ya Lan Ge' in the reception hall of Feng Tian College.

  "Autumn Elder, why don't you tell everyone about the rules of the competition?" said Leng Ruoxue, tomorrow is the real college competition.

  "Okay, the first event of the Academy Competition is the Spirit Master competition. First up is the group stage preliminary round, where 30 Spirit Masters from each academy are divided into five small teams and then randomly assigned to one of five groups for the preliminary round. The preliminary round will take place on five different fields simultaneously, with two-on-two matches, and the winners advancing to the second round of the preliminary round."

  "Tomorrow is the first round, and there will be a preliminary match for three small groups. Our college has two teams participating, Lin Yuan and Mu Li, you two are the team leaders, tomorrow must work hard! We will all go to cheer for you." said Qiu Lao.

  "Don't worry, old man, we will definitely be promoted." Lin Yuan guaranteed confidently.

  "That's good." To be honest, he didn't really understand the true abilities of these students. Who let them all like Ruo Xue, pretending to be weak while being strong?

  "Autumn elder, this is just the first preliminary round, you're already so worried, what about the matches that follow?" Leng Ruoxue said with a smile as she looked at the tense Autumn elder.

  "I'm not worried, I just fear they will be nervous." said Qiu Lao with a tone that didn't match his words, after all it was their first time participating in such a large-scale competition.

  Still don't know who's nervous, Leng Ruo Xue found it somewhat speechless that Qiu Shang Lao was being stubborn, but she didn't plan on exposing him either.

  "There's a match tomorrow, so everyone should get some rest early today." Leng Ruo Xue said as she returned to her own room.

  The next morning, Leng Ruo Xue and others arrived at the competition venue on time.

  After the host announced the rules of the game and said a lot of encouraging words, the competition officially began.

  "You can now put your numbers on your clothes." Autumn Elder reminded before the small team of Feng Tian Academy went on stage.

  "Oh."

  "Good luck!"

  Compared to Qiū Lǎo's tension, Lěng Ruò Xuě was much more relaxed. She had great confidence in the strength of her subordinates. It was just a preliminary round, nothing big.

  "I'm hungry, let's go eat something. I heard the cafeteria at Moon Shadow Academy is quite good." Leng Ruoxue said softly to Ye Chen sitting beside her.

  "Good..." As for eating, Ye Chen naturally wouldn't have any opinions on it.

  The two stood up and left the competition venue as if nothing had happened, rushing straight to the cafeteria.

  Because everyone was watching the game and it wasn't time to eat yet, there weren't many people in the restaurant. After ordering, they found a spot by the window and sat down.

  "Get out of my way, this is my seat!" A sharp and arrogant female voice suddenly sounded in their ears.

  The two people who were eating with their heads down both looked up slightly uncomfortably, glanced at the woman briefly, and then lowered their heads again to continue eating.

  "Can't you hear me? Move aside, this is the seat I've been looking at!" The woman was getting furious as she felt ignored.

  "Get out!" Night Chen raised his head in discontent, and lightly spat out a single word, representing all of his thoughts.

  "You... you have a big nerve, do you know who I am?" The woman shouted angrily. Originally, she had a good impression of this handsome man and even planned to make him her own man. But unexpectedly, this man was so oblivious to her existence and didn't even know how to cherish her. Hmph, such a rough and uncultured man was not worthy of her.

  "I don't care who you are, scram! Don't disturb our appetite." Ye Chen said displeasedly. Where did this fly come from, how annoying.

  "You... you just wait for me, this princess won't let you off!" The woman glared at them fiercely, then turned and left in anger.

  "You've stirred up big trouble. That woman is the most favored little princess of Beiliang." At this time, a boy who was also eating in the restaurant quietly came over and said.

  "What's it to me if she's a princess?" Leng Ruoxue raised her head and glanced at the boy who had brought them the news. Why were there so many so-called princesses in this world? You could run into one anywhere you went.

  "Uh..." The boy didn't know what to say, seeing their calm reaction. And the girl was so beautiful that he got nervous and didn't dare look at her a second time, so he turned back to his own seat.

  Leng Ruo Xue and Ye Chen had just finished eating and returned to the competition venue when they received the glare from Qiu Shang Lao.

  "Where did you two go?" Autumn old man growled.

  "I'm hungry, going to eat now."

  "You... you're going too far!"

  "Autumn elder, people regard food as heaven, if they're hungry, of course, they want to eat. What's excessive about that?" Cold Snow said disapprovingly.

  "It's almost time for our college competition, and you're going to eat at this time? This is not too much?" said Autumn Elder, blowing his beard and staring.

  "Old man, calm down, you're too tense." Ye Chen teased, this old man is still quite lovable.

  "Miss, our game is over, can we go back now?" Feng Da said as he walked over.

  "Oh, let's go back then!"

  Like this, Leng Ruo Xue and others ignored Qiu Shang Lao's ugly face and returned to 'Ya Lan Ge'.

  The other two group matches of the first round were held on the next day, and Leng Ruxue, Feng Mo Ran, and Feng Da all advanced to the second round. In addition, several teams from Long Sheng College and Yue Ying College also entered the second round without any suspense.

  The next three days will see two more rounds of preliminary matches, after which 10 teams will advance to the semifinals.

  When the promotion list came out, Qiu Lao was so happy that his mouth couldn't be closed, because all 5 teams from Fengtian College were promoted, while Longsheng College, which had the strongest strength, only had 3 teams promoted to the top 10, and Yueying College had 2 teams in the top 10.

  "Congratulations, Elder Qiu." Many elders from various academies came forward to offer their congratulations.

  "It's just good luck." Old Qiu said humbly, but he was secretly delighted.

  "Ah, Snow, this time you've really gone too far." Autumn Old Man said with a hearty laugh, their college had been suppressed by Dragon Ascension College for many years, it's been a long time since they felt so exhilarated.

  "Autumn old man, hasn't it reached the final match yet? Are you rejoicing a bit too early?" said Leng Ruoxue, this old man was somewhat overjoyed.

  "Hehe, I'm too happy!" said Autumn Elder with some embarrassment.

  "Go back!"

  After two days of rest, the semifinals officially began.

  After the draw of 10 teams, they were divided into 5 groups, with the winners advancing to the final.

  Feng Tian Academy was also lucky and didn't draw their own academy's team, but Lin Yuan and Huo Cheng drew the same group.

  "It's nothing, it's just a crush, I'm not afraid of him." Lin Yuan said nonchalantly.

  "It's just that Huo Qing has nothing to be afraid of, he's just a bit more famous than us." Feng Da chimed in.

  "Old Qiu, I told you he's fine! Don't worry about it." Leng Ruoxue said. At this time, the more everyone cared about him, the greater Lin Yuan's pressure would be.

  "But..." Elder Qiu wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by someone.

  "I'm telling you, Old Autumn, Lin Yuan's strength was never a match for Huo Feng to begin with. Losing is within reason, what's the big deal?!" Leng Qing Tian said calmly, it's just one game, not like they're betting their house or land.

  After the teams from Fengtian Academy took to the stage one after another, Leng Ruxue, Feng Mo Ran, Mu Lei and Feng Da all emerged victorious in the end. Now only Lin Yuan and Huo Qing's two teams have yet to compete. Given Fengtian Academy's outstanding performance earlier, everyone's attention is focused on these last two small teams. Everyone is curious to see whether Fengtian Academy can sweep the top 5 places in the team competition, or whether Longsheng Academy can defend its last shred of dignity?

  The two teams' match was no less exciting than the championship, and everyone held their breath as they watched the two teams on stage, afraid to miss a single fight.

  "You're so strong!" Huo Qing couldn't help but exclaim, he had always thought that Leng Ruo Han was his greatest opponent, never expecting that Feng Tian Academy would produce so many geniuses this year.

  "You're pretty strong too!" Lin Yuan said, wiping away the blood from his mouth corner, he was looking forward to this man's fight with his family's young lady.

  "Are we going to keep fighting?" Huo Qing asked.

  "Not yet! We haven't lost!" Lin Yuan said, although there was a gap in strength, they wouldn't admit defeat easily.

  "Come on!" His will and spirit, passion were all appreciated.

  Two people each showed off their own ultimate moves, and the spiritual energy on stage flew around in a dazzling display. The two of them went back and forth, fighting dozens of rounds, and the stage became their personal battlefield, with everyone else becoming mere spectators.

  Until Hayashimizu used up his last bit of spiritual energy and fainted, the match was declared over. This match should be considered one of the most difficult battles since the start of the tournament. Although Hayashimizu's team lost, they still earned honor in defeat, and no one dared to look down on them. The Fire Temple team won, but it was a hollow victory.

  "Who made you so desperate? Do you want to die?" Leng Ruoxue said disapprovingly, looking at Lin Yuan who had been carried off the field by his teammates and was now awake.

  "Miss, I'm sorry, I was wrong!" Lin Yuan saw that Leng Ruo Xue was angry and quickly admitted his mistake. He knew he had worried her.

  "Eat this." Leng Ruoxue tossed a pellet of medicine at Lin Yuan and ignored him.

  After the game, everyone returned to their residence together. Along the way, Lin Yuan couldn't help but sneak glances at Leng Ruo Xue with his eyes, but Leng Ruo Xue didn't even give him a glance, completely ignoring him.

  After a day of rest, the final match of the team competition officially began, and the final adopted a round-robin system, with the total score taken in the end.

  "Ladies and gentlemen, dear students, today is the last day of the team competition. After today, the champion of our team competition will be born. Let's wait with bated breath! "The host was excited and emotional, and the competition for that day also kicked off."

  Leng Ruo Xue's team was the first to take the stage today, and her last opponent was the team led by Huo Qing.

  On the arena, Leng Ruoxue gazed at the calm and collected Huo Qing opposite her. Today was the final battle of the team competition, and in the previous three battles, Leng Ruoxue's team had achieved a perfect record. Therefore, even if they lost this match, she would still be the champion of the team competition.

  However, the outcome was different. In three battles, Huo Qing's team lost to Mu Li, tied with Feng Da, and only won one game against Feng Da, which shows that Huo Qing is under tremendous pressure, and this stunning genius probably never thought such a situation would occur!

  However, this is a team competition after all, and the overall strength of the team is more important. Even if he is a genius, it will be useless without good teammates.

  At the time when Leng Ruo Xue was sizing up Huo Qing, Huo Qing was also sizing up Leng Ruo Xue. This stunningly beautiful girl was Leng Ruo Han's younger sister, and had once been a fool. However, after these few days of observation, he discovered that this girl was even more difficult to deal with than his elder brother, because until now, he still couldn't fathom her true strength. Moreover, in every battle, she seemed to win extremely easily, as if she hadn't used her full strength at all.

  "You are the strongest opponent I have ever met." Huo Qing said, in the team competition, due to the uneven strength of his teammates, he could only helplessly encounter such a strong opponent. However, in the individual competition, he must compete with her to see who is better. This seemingly weak and beautiful girl had already stirred up his strong desire for battle!

  "You and you!" Leng Ruoxue said calmly, knowing that the team competition couldn't bring out Huo Piao's full strength, their true battle would be in the individual competition.

  "Let's end this quickly!" said Leng Ruoxue.

  "Good!" He didn't want to waste time either.

  The two teams formed their formations and began attacking each other according to the previously formulated strategy. Soon, two members of Huǒ Qíng's team were eliminated, after which Huǒ Qíng announced his surrender.

  It took less than 10 minutes for the fire to declare defeat, which was very disappointing for many people who wanted to watch a good show. They originally thought this battle would be very exciting, but they didn't expect it to end so quickly.

  Leng Ruo Xue also rose to fame due to her outstanding performance throughout the group matches.

  In the end, the team led by Leng Ruo Xue won the group championship, Mu Li's team won the runner-up, Huo Qing and Feng Mo Ran's teams tied for third place, and Feng Da's team came in fourth.

  After the team competition ended, each university department also ranked, and only colleges that achieved top 10 rankings were eligible to participate in the individual competition.

  After the Spiritual Master Team Competition, the Alchemy Master Competition was held. The Alchemy Master Competition consisted of a preliminary round, semi-finals, and finals. Since there were only over 20 participating alchemists, the competition was scheduled to take place over two days. On the first day, the preliminary round was held, divided into two trials: one for a designated medicinal pill, where the judges selected a type of medicinal pill and provided the materials, and another for a self-selected medicinal pill, where students chose their own familiar medicinal pill to refine. The judges then scored the competition, and all the judges were professional alchemists sent by the Alchemy Master Guild. This trial could also be considered as a talent selection competition held by the Alchemy Master Guild.

  On the day of the Dan Shi preliminary round, Leng Ruo Xue and others accompanied Liu Yan to the competition venue.

  "Ryōgen, remember, ranking doesn't matter, just give it your all and that's enough." Reika said to Ryōgen who was about to go on stage.

  "Ah, I will." Liu Yan said with gratitude, this was his first time participating in such an important competition, and the pressure on him was indeed great.

  The first test was to refine the primary elixir, Cong Pei Dan. For more than 20 alchemists on the scene, it wasn't difficult at all. This trial didn't test whether they could refine the elixir or not, but rather examined whether their basic skills were solid. And for an alchemist, this was extremely important.

  As the last alchemist on stage extinguished his furnace flame, more than 20 alchemists had completed their first assessment and were now waiting for the judges' scores.

  The first assessment of Dan medicine, Liu Yan got the second place, and the one who ranked before him was a genius named Liu Qing from Longsheng College's Dan Master Branch.

  "Second place, that's great!" exclaimed Autumn Elder, Liu Yan was the first person in their Feng Tian Academy Dan Master Branch after all!

  "Autumn is still young, and the preliminary rounds haven't even ended yet?" Leng Ruoxue poured some cold water on him, reminding him that this old man had been overly excited these past few days.

  "Hmm..." Old Man Qiu also felt that he had become a bit too pleased with himself.

  The second round was a self-selected Dan medicine, and Leng Ruo Xue knew that Liu Yan was going to refine the intermediate-level Dan medicine Pei Yuan Dan. Pei Yuan Dan was only an intermediate primary-level Dan medicine, one of the essential medicines for advancing to become a Dan refining master.

  The levels of Dan medicine are: primary, intermediate, advanced, earth, and heaven. Each level is further divided into primary, intermediate, and advanced. Among them, the alchemy apprentice must be able to refine primary-level Dan medicine, the alchemy master must be able to refine intermediate-level Dan medicine, and so on. Refining Dan medicine that matches the level of the alchemist is also an important basis for evaluating the alchemist.

  More than 20 students on the scene were in an orderly manner, following the steps to put the medicine into the crucible one by one. After all the medicines had dissolved, they condensed the elixir according to the Dan master's method, until the elixir was successfully produced.

  The students on stage have completed their own refining, while the crowd below patiently waits for the judges' scores.

  About half an hour later, the results finally came out, and Liu Yan was still in second place, smoothly advancing to the semifinals. There are 10 dan players who have advanced to the semifinals, but only 3 of them will be able to advance to the final round, so the semifinals will be very intense.

  Yalan Pavilion is where Feng Tian Academy people live.

  "Yong Liu, if the medicine is not enough, tell me." Leng Ruoxue came to Yong Liu's room and said to Yong Liu who was practicing. After finishing speaking, she didn't disturb him anymore and pulled away with Qiu Lao who came together.

  "Ruo Xue, why won't you let me speak?" asked Autumn Elder in puzzlement.

  "Don't put pressure on him, he's the first genius of our Dan Sheng Academy, you should have confidence in him." said Leng Ruoxue.

  "Of course I have confidence in him, I just want to remind him!" said Qiu Lao with a hint of grievance.

  "No need." Leng Ruoxue said, and forcibly pulled away Qiu Changlao. This old man had a habit of giving advice whenever someone went on stage to compete, and this habit needed to be changed.

  "What's wrong with this old man, his face smells?" In the corridor, Leng Qingtian met two people who came out of Liu Yan's room and asked somewhat puzzled.

  "I told him not to put pressure on Liu Yan, so I didn't let him speak." Leng Ruo Xue explained.

  "This old man is just too tense." Leng Qing said calmly, the elders of each university department attach great importance to the achievements of their college.

  "Mm." Leng Ruoxue nodded in agreement.

  "Grandpa, go to bed early!"

  "Uh-huh."

  The semifinals and finals of the second day each had only one game, with two elixirs refined by each person, and the total score was taken.

  After the semi-final in the morning, Liu Yang still entered the final with a second-place finish.

  The final in the afternoon attracted many families and the Tongde Association of the month also sent a vice president to serve as a judge, showing great importance.

  "Hey, have you heard? The first place winner of this semifinal, Liu Qing, is a beloved disciple of one of the vice presidents of the Dan Shi General Assembly." someone in the audience whispered.

  "Really? Then he's definitely going to win, isn't that unfair to others?" Another person also commented.

  "There's no absolute fairness in this world, those with power and status have fairness, but under the watchful eyes of everyone, I think even Dan Shigong's people wouldn't dare to be openly biased?" Another person also joined the discussion.

  "How did so many people suddenly arrive?" Leng Ruo Xue looked at the audience seats filled with people and said in puzzlement.

  "The final is open to ordinary people, but only 300 are allowed to enter." Leng Ruohan explained that except for the Ling Master Team Competition, the finals of other competitions will be open to ordinary people, which has become a convention for each trial.

  "I see, but won't it be too noisy?" Leng Ruoxue said with some concern, as this kind of competition that requires full concentration might be affected if it's too loud.

  "Don't worry, once the game officially starts, they will calm down," said Leng Ruohan.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, when the match officially started, everyone fell silent and stared intently at the three people competing on stage.

  The three people who participated in the final, except for Liu Qing from Longsheng College and Liu Yang, were Li Yuan, a student of Yueliang College. All three were alchemists, and the medicinal pills they were currently refining all happened to be Pei Ling Dan. Pei Ling Dan was an intermediate-level pill that alchemists had to master, and it was also a commonly used pill, mainly used to restore spiritual power, so the demand for Pei Ling Dan was very high.

  To refine a good elixir, in addition to the alchemist's technique, control of the fire is also very important. The alchemist's spiritual power also has a decisive effect on the quality of the elixir. This is mainly because refining the elixir requires a lot of spiritual power. If the spiritual power is not enough, no matter how well the previous steps are done, it will be impossible to complete the elixir in the end.

  "What kind of elixir is Liu Yan refining?" Autumn Elder looked at Liu Yan taking out the medicinal materials from the ring one by one, and said with some puzzlement. Liu Yan had already completed one elixir and was preparing to refine a second one.

  "Lingyuan Dan." Leng Ruoxue said calmly.

  "What? Ling...Ling Yuan Dan?" Autumn Elder was shocked, his jaw almost dropping. A dan maker wanting to refine the Ling Yuan Dan that only a dan master could refine, wasn't this absurd?!
