After Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi unleashed their final attack with all their might, their bodies suddenly began to tremble violently.
The dark Qi surrounding them shattered, and their Soul Fusion Skill, "Shadow Eagle Dragon," disintegrated under the intense energy.
"Pfft!"
Wang Jinxi was the first to collapse, kneeling on one knee and spitting a mouthful of fresh blood onto the arena.
His Bone Dragon King Spirit automatically dispelled, his protruding bones retracted back into his body, and he instantly became listless.
Zhang Yangzi was not much better.
He staggered back a few steps, his face ashen, and cold sweat trickled down his cheeks from his forehead.
"You lost…"
Fang Yang slowly retracted his Flame Body, calmly looking at the two disheveled figures before him.
His voice was not loud, but it clearly echoed throughout the entire competition stage.
At the same time, the battle next to them also reached its conclusion.
Xie Xie's Light Dragon Dagger was pressed against Wei Xiaofeng's throat, the sharp tip less than an inch from his skin.
Wei Xiaofeng's Azure Shadow Snake Spirit had already dispelled, and his right arm hung limply at his side, clearly indicating a serious injury.
"The final match of the promotion trials, Grade One Class Five versus Grade One Class One, Fifth Class wins!"
After a brief moment of shock, Dean Long Hengxu, as if waking from a dream, loudly announced the results, his voice slightly trembling with excitement.
"We won! We really won!"
"This is incredible! We're actually the champions!"
The moment victory was announced, the Fifth Class viewing area erupted in a deafening cheer.
Students jumped up from their seats, some excitedly embracing each other, others waving their arms and shouting loudly, their cheers sweeping across the entire sports field like a tide.
Several girls even cried tears of joy, constantly wiping the tears from their eyes with handkerchiefs.
"Wei Xiaofeng, Zhang Yangzi, Wang Jinxi, are you three alright?"
Grade One Class One's homeroom teacher, Ye Yingluo, hurried over with the other students and helped the three of them up.
Ye Yingluo's expression was extremely grim; her usually confident face showed clear unwillingness.
Last time, she was ruthlessly rejected by Wu Changkong, and this time, she was defeated by his students…
"We're fine."
Zhang Yangzi struggled to lift his head, his voice hoarse: "Teacher, I'm sorry… we lost…"
His eyes were dim, but his fists were still tightly clenched in defiance.
Wei Xiaofeng and Wang Jinxi also hung their heads low, their faces filled with disappointment and self-blame.
They looked towards Fang Yang's direction in unison, their eyes filled with complex emotions.
Ye Yingluo took a deep breath, suppressing the turbulent emotions in her heart, trying to keep her voice calm: "Don't say that; I know you all did your best."
Her gaze swept over their injuries, and her voice unconsciously softened, "Go back and rest well first; we'll talk after your injuries heal."
"Yes."
The three replied in low voices, slowly leaving the sports field with the support of their Class One classmates.
Their figures appeared particularly lonely in the sunlight, forming a stark contrast with the celebratory atmosphere of Fifth Class.
"Teacher Wu, we won."
Xie Xie excitedly ran to Wu Changkong, his face brimming with unconcealed joy.
Wu Changkong nodded slightly, a barely perceptible hint of satisfaction flashing in his dark green eyes: "Today, you all performed well."
Tang Wulin awkwardly scratched the back of his head, a simple, honest smile on his face: "It's the result of everyone's hard work together."
"Alright, the rest of the time is yours; I'm going to a meeting." As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Changkong turned and left.
Then, Fang Yang immediately went to Gu Yue's side and shamelessly said, "Gu Yue, I missed you."
His voice carried a clear hint of flattery, and he stared unblinkingly at Gu Yue's delicate profile.
Gu Yue remained calm, merely giving a soft "Mm."
However, her slightly reddened ear tips betrayed her inner turmoil.
"Xie Xie, I'll come settle the score with you later!"
Fang Yang fiercely dropped this remark, then eagerly took Gu Yue's hand and left.
Gu Yue symbolically struggled a bit, but ultimately allowed him to lead her, their figures appearing exceptionally harmonious in the sunlight.
"It's over, the sky has fallen!"
Xie Xie let out an exaggerated wail, then turned to Tang Wulin: "Wu Lin, let's go have a good meal to celebrate!"
Just then, a graceful figure lightly walked over. Senior Ouyang Zixin was wearing her school uniform, her chestnut hair tied into a neat ponytail.
She smiled as she looked at Tang Wulin: "Junior, would you like to go for a stroll with me?"
Tang Wulin's eyes instantly lit up, and he quickly nodded: "Yes, Senior."
His voice trembled slightly from nervousness, and his face unconsciously flushed.
Watching Tang Wulin and Senior Ouyang Zixin walk away side by side, Xie Xie stood rooted to the spot, looking bewildered.
He scratched his head and muttered to himself, "Oh my, the sky has truly fallen this time…"
On the other side, Fang Yang walked hand in hand with Gu Yue through the school.
"Gu Yue, I was wrong, please don't be angry, okay?" Fang Yang said softly.
Gu Yue stopped and looked at Fang Yang, saying, "That depends on how honest you are."
Her voice was still cool, but a hint of a smile had appeared in her eyes.
Fang Yang sighed helplessly and had no choice but to explain the whole story in detail. He knew that if he didn't clear things up, Gu Yue would really continue to ignore him.
As he spoke, his gaze never left Gu Yue's eyes, afraid of missing any change in her emotions.
After listening to Fang Yang's explanation, Gu Yue secretly breathed a sigh of relief. What she worried about most was that Xu Xiaoyan would get a head start.
As soon as this thought flashed, Na'er's figure inexplicably appeared in her mind.
Na'er: "What are you talking about? Aren't you…"
"Gu Yue."
Fang Yang looked at her pitifully.
Gu Yue finally couldn't maintain her expression and let out a soft laugh: "Alright, I forgive you."
She took Fang Yang's hand, and they smiled at each other.
"Hehe, Gu Yue, you're so good," Fang Yang said with a silly grin, his eyes full of affection.
"Hmph."
Gu Yue hummed softly, but the corners of her mouth turned slightly upward.
"Gu Yue, what about that Xu Xiaoyan…" Fang Yang asked cautiously, his voice growing softer and softer.
"It depends on your performance."
Gu Yue lightly dropped this remark, yet it made Fang Yang breathe a sigh of relief.
The two of them walked hand in hand, leisurely strolling through Eastsea Academy.
"Eh? Isn't that Wu Lin?"
Fang Yang suddenly stopped and pointed at a pair of figures not far away.
Tang Wulin was holding Senior Ouyang Zixin's hand, and the two were chatting and laughing.
A cunning light flashed in Fang Yang's eyes: "Come on, let's go see."
Saying that, he took Gu Yue's hand and quickly chased after them.
"Yo, Wu Lin, I didn't expect to see you here," Fang Yang deliberately raised his voice.
Tang Wulin stiffened at the sound, slowly turned his head, and his expression instantly froze.
He stood there at a loss, like a thief caught in the act, even his earlobes turning red with heat.
"Fang Yang, why are you here, Fang Yang…" Tang Wulin stammered.
Fang Yang smiled meaningfully: "Don't worry, I won't say anything, that Xie Xie…"
Tang Wulin immediately understood: "Don't worry, I'll also treat Xie Xie well."
"Mm, good, Gu Yue and I will go now."
Fang Yang winked, took Gu Yue's hand, and turned to leave. Tang Wulin remained in place, letting out a long sigh of relief.
