The dark horse team of Class One had met their end.
Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao's burns were severe. The healing soul master who treated them later sighed, saying that if Su Qingfeng hadn't used ice elements to seal their skin surfaces and apply an ice compress immediately, their situation would have been much worse.
Both Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong's eyes welled up with tears. It seemed that Qingfeng gege had truly held back against them.
Wang Dong was even more certain of Su Qingfeng. Initially, she had only admired him because he looked like a celestial being descending to the mortal world. Now, it seemed his talent and strength were not inferior to his looks at all! What was that saying? Started with the looks, captivated by the skills, and loyal to the character!
Only Xiao Xiao, a petite loli, almost cried from being burned by the ice and fire reaction.
Because she charged the furthest forward, she was hit the hardest by Su Qingfeng's Ice Extreme Star and suffered the most severe damage from the evaporation reaction.
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong could only offer her their deepest sympathy:
"Sigh, Xiao Xiao, I told you, don't be so aggressive. There's no good outcome when you go against Qingfeng gege. Be friends with Qingfeng gege like me!"
"And just friends, that's all," Wang Dong added.
Xiao Xiao turned her head on the hospital bed, indicating she didn't want to deal with them, those two traitors!
That evening, Zhou Yi came to the ward, carrying a basket of fruit, which she placed on the table.
Huo Yuhao greeted her quickly, "Teacher Zhou Yi, what brings you here?"
"We lost, and embarrassed the whole class."
"The strength you showed in the competition was already quite good. I've received some news; you can all become first-year students of the Academy. However, which ones will be core disciples are still under discussion."
"But I still have to criticize you. Wang Dong, Huo Yuhao, what exactly were you two doing? Not taking the competition seriously and almost making a laughingstock of yourselves. If you two don't want to stay at Shrek, I can help you."
Clearly, Zhou Yi was settling scores after the fact. She was disgusted by Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong's leniency towards Su Qingfeng during the competition, and even their act of betrayal.
Upon hearing Zhou Yi's words, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong fell silent, but they didn't regret it. If they had to do it again, they would probably make the same choice!
They would rather be injured themselves than harm Su Qingfeng!
"Fortunately, the Dean has spoken this time, and you won't be punished. The identity of this special student is truly mysterious; even the Dean favors him. He's becoming more and more mysterious."
"I'm asking you, do you know something?"
Zhou Yi looked at Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao perked up her ears to listen.
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong shook their heads in unison, "No, we don't know anything."
"Alright, alright, if you don't want to say, then don't. Take care of your injuries. The Dean is concerned about your condition and has postponed your final match until the day after tomorrow."
"Oh, right, because your runner-up match was postponed, the finals started early this afternoon. The new Class Five and that special student have already finished their match. They're just waiting for you to finish your match against Dai Huabin's Class Five the day after tomorrow, and then they'll distribute the rewards and begin assigning first-year classes."
Zhou Yi said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's heart skipped a beat. Dai Huabin was one of the culprits who killed his mother.
Hearing that name, Huo Yuhao's eyes gradually turned red, and his fists clenched unconsciously: "Teacher, who won?"
"Are you stupid?"
Zhou Yi didn't answer, Wang Dong spoke first, "They're telling us to fight for the runner-up spot, so it must be Qingfeng-gege who won. Otherwise, we would only be competing for third place."
"Yes, that's right, and I have good news for you. Dai Huabin and the others are even more seriously injured than you are. This special student is really extraordinary. The ice-fire evaporation reaction he used on you last time, he must have held back. This time, Dai Huabin and his group of three provoked Su Qingfeng in the arena, vowing to take off his mask and make him beg for mercy. As a result, they were scalded by Su Qingfeng and Wu Feng's ice-fire evaporation reaction, their skin torn open, and they were in excruciating pain."
"According to the teachers in the treatment group, they won't be able to fully recover for at least half a month. I also went to see them myself, and they are indeed quite injured. They have large areas of burns. Dai Huabin even had a wisp of water vapor enter one of his eyes, and he's currently in a one-eyed state. It's unknown when he'll recover. But the academy has already been lenient by delaying the competition for a day. It just so happens that you are also injured, and the teachers unanimously agreed that it's reasonable. After tomorrow, you'll have a high chance of winning..."
Zhou Yi told Huo Yuhao and the others about the situation, immediately cheering them up.
Huo Yuhao was also excited.
What? Dai Huabin almost lost an eye?
This could be considered Su Qingfeng subtly helping him get some revenge.
A day and a night passed. When the final runner-up match began, Huo Yuhao and his team finally understood the extent of Dai Huabin's injuries.
Even after a day and a night of recuperation, their condition was still very poor. Most of their skin was covered in dark red scars, clearly recently scabbed over. If they were to engage in high-intensity combat, those wounds could easily reopen.
Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao and his team had mostly recovered from their burns.
This made Dai Huabin and the other students from the new Class Five exclaim that it was unfair. What happened to the promised severe burns for everyone? What happened to things being fair? The heavily injured versus the lightly injured, was this fair?! In the end, Huo Yuhao teamed up with Wang Dong on the stage and thoroughly beat up Dai Huabin.
Poor Dai Huabin, possessing the formidable strength of a Soul Elder, and with the cooperation of Zhu Lu, who had the couple's martial soul, the Netherworld Spirit Cat, could have aimed for the championship. Instead, he ended up in third place and was injured so badly that he wouldn't dare to face his mother. His psychological trauma was practically beaten into him.
Huo Yuhao was thrilled, and his heart cried out: Mom, did you see? Your little Yuhao has already begun to avenge you. This beating is just the beginning. One day, I will have enough power to avenge you, and to wash away the pain and humiliation we've suffered for over a decade!
Meanwhile, Su Qingfeng had been summoned to the Dean's office by Yan Shaozhe.
It was because Su Qingfeng, when he did something, it was always astonishing. They had originally wanted Su Qingfeng to train in the outer court, to see how much power his ultimate ice could unleash among his peers.
But they hadn't expected that Su Qingfeng would actually develop a new system.
Moreover, just yesterday, Su Qingfeng had broken through to level nineteen, only one level away from level twenty. He would soon be able to absorb his second spirit ring, which also meant that the moment for his second attribute choice was approaching.
Both Mu En and Yan Shaozhe attached great importance to this.
"Qingfeng, Qingfeng, you are truly full of surprises. Come, this is the prize I have prepared for you for winning, take a look."
Yan Shaozhe pushed a treasure box towards Su Qingfeng.
Su Qingfeng opened it and saw a dazzling wing bone lying inside.
"This External Spirit Bone was obtained ten years ago when I slew a sixty-thousand-year-old soul beast in the Star Dou Great Forest. It comes from the Empty Clarity Celestial Eagle, and I've named it the Empty Clarity Celestial Feather."
It was clear that Yan Shaozhe was privately offering this soul bone, a gesture of affection towards his junior.
It just so happened to be able to compensate for Su Qingfeng's current flaw, his inability to freely enter and exit Sea God Island. If he possessed a pair of wings for flight, it would be a different story.
At that moment, Mu En, with a hunched back, also walked in.
