Chapter 2025: Victory Without War

f the Imperial Court, Helena and Lucia's strength was impossible to conceal at a glance.Even the nearby wolf king Garnett and the Great Wizard Chilavert exuded an imposing aura.But strangely, they wer...As the results of the competition were announced, thunderous cheers erupted from the stands.

The audience present, already enamored by Li Qingzhu's beauty, were now further captivated by her indomitable spirit. They naturally gravitated to her side.

After confirming her victory, the severely wounded Li Qingzhu could no longer hold on. She felt dizzy and fainted, falling straight back.

Just then, a pair of strong arms encircled her waist, preventing her from falling to the ground.

It was naturally Ye Bufan who made the move. As a doctor, he had long seen the severity of the other party's injuries.

First, he shoved a Huitian Pill into Li Qingzhu's mouth, then carried her off the stage and laid her down. His silver needles danced like juggling pins as they were inserted into acupuncture points on his body.

Although she had many wounds on her body, looking terrifying, none of them were fatal.

Under Ye Bufan's emergency treatment, he quickly recovered most of his strength. The wound stopped bleeding, and he regained consciousness.

Li Qingzhu slowly opened her eyes and excitedly said, "Dean, I won!"

This was the first time she called this man Dean. From the moment she won, she knew what this man meant to Lingxiao Academy.

Without Ye Bufan's appearance, without the Huangji Dan that raised his cultivation, he would have fallen just then, there was no doubt about it.

Although I won just now, the credit definitely goes to them for at least half of it.

"Just win, and leave the rest to us. You should get some rest."

Ye Bufan nodded, then handed her over to a few girls including Chu Lingxi to take care of.

Here, he received treatment and recovered quickly, but the Cangfeng Academy wasn't so lucky.

Muzifeng fell to the ground, already completely unconscious. He was carried away by several students from Cangfeng Academy in a hurry.

Song Jian's expression was gloomy. Originally, all of this was carefully planned by him, one link after another, ensuring that the final result was foolproof.

The unexpected happened, he didn't expect Li Qingzhu to have reached the middle stage of the Refining Void Realm, winning the first game right off the bat.

No matter what, he couldn't let the other side win the second match. He turned his head to look towards the Cangfeng Academy.

Their eyes met, a silent question passing between them. Who would be the best choice to face off next

Feng Xingkong didn't speak, his gaze fell on Feng Tianxiang.

Song Jian frowned slightly. He knew very well that Feng Tianxiang's cultivation was only at the early stage of the Refining Void Realm.

But Feng Xingkong was so confident, he must have his reasons. Therefore, he didn't change his mind and announced again, "Next, the second round will be between Tianfeng Royal Family's Song Guangkai, Cangfeng Academy's Feng Tianxiang, and Lingxiao Academy's Hu Yaoyao."

After pointing to the names, the three people came to the platform and drew lots beside Zheng Sanbao to decide the order of the competition.

Although everything is fair and just under the supervision of this chief steward, there is no falsehood.

But Lingxiao Academy's luck doesn't seem to be very good. Hu Yaya drew a red ball again, and the other red ball was on Feng Tianxiang's side.

Feng Tianxiang was twirling a red sphere in his hand, chuckling and saying, "Little Hu, it's our turn to make a move this time."

Due to Wei Wutong's relationship, Hu Yaoyao's impression of the Feng family uncle and nephew had reached a terrible point. She didn't even bother to say a word to them, and directly jumped onto the platform.

Feng Tianxiang still had a smile on his face, standing calmly and composedly opposite.

"Hu Xuemei, we've known each other for quite some time now. You're not my match. Why don't you just admit defeat It'll save us both from getting hurt."

"You're dreaming!"

Hu YaoYao let out an angry shout, raising her hand and striking him across the face with a palm strike.

The moment Feng Tianxiang truly moved, the smile on his face vanished instantly. He nimbly dodged the attack with a step back and immediately retaliated with a leg strike aimed at Hu Yaoyao's shoulder.

The two of them exchanged blows, each one a formidable opponent at the early stage of the Refining Void realm. For a time, they fought evenly, neither gaining an advantage.

Below the stands, Lu Xue Man said: "Xiao Fan, why do I feel that Feng Tianxiang is a bit off today"

Speaking of it, this guy shouldn't have much hope of winning against Hu Yaya right now. Why does he seem so confident

That's hard to say, they might have something else up their sleeve.

Ye Bufan frowned slightly, his brain racing.

Although Song Jian had done everything very secretly, the glances between him and Feng Xingkong would surely not escape his eyes.

These two old foxes are obviously colluding, but Feng Tianxiang is clearly not the strongest one. Why let him take the stage

One thing is for sure, neither Song Jian nor Feng Xingkong would let their side easily win two games in a row.

In this case, since Feng Tianxiang is allowed to appear, it shows that he has a surefire chance of winning.

To be honest, the former number one on the Tianbang list is now just commonplace. Compared to Hu Yaoyao, he's not even at an advantage, and you could even say he's at a disadvantage.

It is worth noting that Hu YaoYao has been consuming a lot of pills to consolidate her cultivation recently. Although she only entered the early stage of the Refining Void Realm not long ago, her realm is extremely solid and stable, with an indication of advancing towards the middle stage.

Meanwhile, under the guidance of this super master Li Dao Ran, his practical combat skills have also made remarkable progress, which is incomparable to before.

In terms of strength, Hu Yaoyao has the upper hand, firmly suppressing Feng Tianxiang.

As a matter of fact, after dozens of moves, Hu Yaoyao had already started to gain the upper hand, pressing her opponent down hard.

After more than a dozen moves, Hu YaoYao seized an opening and struck the opponent's shoulder with a palm.

This blow was powerful indeed, Feng Tianxiang took seven or eight steps back before managing to steady himself. However, there was no panic on his face, instead a smirk of satisfaction played on his lips.

"Hu Xueshi, I didn't expect your progress to be so fast."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and shoved a black pill into his mouth.

He swallowed the pill, and his aura surged dramatically. In an instant, he broke through to the middle stage of the Refining Void Realm, becoming several times stronger than before.

"This..."

Everyone present was stunned. No one had expected him to take a pill that could enhance his cultivation during the competition.

Hu Yaya obviously didn't expect this, but at this moment, Feng Tianxiang had already rushed over. At the same time, he punched out with endless pressure.

The difference between the middle and early stages of the Refining Void Realm is immense. At this moment, this guy was like a different person altogether. He took immediate absolute advantage with his first move.

Hu YaoYao, distracted, had no time to dodge. She could only muster all her strength and meet the attack with a palm strike.

Their fists collided, a dull thud echoing through the air. She was utterly helpless against Feng Tianxiang's surging power, flung from the stage like a broken kite after a single blow.

"This..."

Only then did the crowd come to their senses, erupting in an uproar.

"Shameless, actually taking pills on the stage..."

"Shameless, you don't win honorably..."

"Holy crap, this guy's actually doing drugs on the spot. Does he even have any shame"

All eyes turned to Feng Tianxiang on stage, and for a moment, the crowd erupted in condemnation.

Hu YaoYao crawled up from the ground, even angrier. She shouted at Zheng Sanbao: "Grand Steward, he actually used pills to increase his cultivation! This isn't fair!"

Before Zheng Sanbao could speak, Song Jian from the side chimed in, "Losing is losing, there's nothing much to say about it. Besides, there's no rule that says you can't use pills to enhance your cultivation during a competition!"unded it and kept observing it intently.The entire pattern was about ten meters square, and the strange energy fluctuations gave one an extremely unusual feeling.Jiang Fangzhou asked in bewilderment,...
