The dark horse team of Class One had come to a disappointing end.
Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao's burns were severe. The healing Soul Masters who treated them afterward sighed, saying that if Su Qingfeng hadn't used ice elements to seal their bodies and apply ice compresses immediately, their condition would have been much worse.
Both Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong were moved to tears. It seemed that Qingfeng really had shown them mercy.
Wang Dong was even more certain of Su Qingfeng. Originally, she had only admired Qingfeng because of his ethereal beauty, like a celestial being descending to the mortal world. Now it seemed that his talent and strength were not beneath his appearance! What was that saying? Started with looks, captivated by skill, loyal to character!
Only Xiao Xiao, a petite little girl, 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 was also the most severely injured by the evaporation reaction.
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong could only express their deep sympathy for her:
"Sigh, Xiao Xiao, I told you a long time ago, don't be so forceful. Going against Qingfeng-ge won't end well. Be a good friend of Qingfeng-ge, just like me!"
"And only as good friends, mind you," Wang Dong added.
Xiao Xiao turned her head away on the bed, clearly not wanting to deal with them, those two traitors!
That evening, Zhou Yi came to the ward, bringing a basket of fruit, which she placed on the table.
Huo Yuhao quickly greeted her, "Teacher Zhou Yi, what brings you here?"
"We lost, and made a fool of the entire Class One."
"The strength you both displayed in the competition was already quite good. I've received some news; you'll both be able to become first-year disciples of the academy. However, the discussion of which ones will be core disciples is still ongoing."
"But I still have to criticize you two. Wang Dong, Huo Yuhao, what exactly were you two doing? Not taking the competition seriously, almost making a laughingstock of yourselves. If you two don't want to stay at Shrek Academy, I can help you."
Clearly, Zhou Yi was settling scores after the fact, disgusted by Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong's leniency towards Su Qingfeng during the match, and even their act of betrayal.
When Zhou Yi said this, both Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong fell silent, but they didn't regret it. If they had to do it again, they would likely make the same choice!
They'd rather be injured themselves than hurt Su Qingfeng!
"Fortunately, the Dean has spoken this time, and you won't be punished. This special student's identity is really mysterious; even the Dean favors him. It's becoming increasingly mysterious."
"I'm asking you, do you know anything?"
Zhou Yi looked at Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao also perked up her ears to listen.
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong both shook their heads in unison, "No, we don't know anything."
"Alright, alright, if you don't want to say anything, that's fine. Take care of your injuries. The Dean is concerned about your injuries, so he's postponed your final match to the day after tomorrow."
"Oh, right, because your runner-up match has been postponed, the finals this afternoon started early. The New Student Class Five and that special student have already finished their match. They're just waiting for you to finish your match with Dai Huabin and the others from New Student Class Five the day after tomorrow, then they'll distribute rewards and begin assigning first-year classes."
Zhou Yi said lightly.
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao's heart skipped a beat; Dai Huabin was one of the culprits who killed his mother.
Hearing this 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 said we were playing for the runner-up, so it must be Brother Qingfeng who won, otherwise we could only fight for third place."
"Yes, that's right, and I want to tell you some good news. Dai Huabin and the others are injured even worse than you. This special student is really extraordinary. The ice-fire vaporization reaction he used on you last time, I'm sure he held back. This time, Dai Huabin's trio provoked Su Qingfeng on the field, claiming they would knock off his mask here and make him beg for mercy. As a result, they were burned by Su Qingfeng and Wu Feng's ice-fire vaporization reaction, their skin split 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've also seen them myself, and they are indeed severely injured. They have extensive skin 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 delaying the competition by a day is already lenient, and since you're also injured, the teachers unanimously agreed that it's reasonable. Anyway, the day after tomorrow, your chances of winning are very high..."
Zhou Yi told Huo Yuhao and the others the situation, which immediately invigorated them.
Huo Yuhao was also excited.
What? Dai Huabin almost lost an eye?
This could be considered Su Qingfeng subtly helping him get a bit of revenge.
A day and a night passed. When the final runner-up match began, Huo Yuhao's team finally understood just how badly Dai Huabin's team was hurt.
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, which looked freshly scabbed over. If they were to engage in high-intensity combat, this skin would likely split open again.
Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao's burns had mostly healed.
This caused the students of the new Class Five, including Dai Huabin, to cry out in protest, exclaiming that it wasn't fair. They had all been severely burned, hadn't they? Where was the fairness? The heavily injured against the lightly injured—was that fair?! In the end, Huo Yuhao teamed up with Wang Dong on the arena and gave Dai Huabin a brutal beating.
Poor Dai Huabin, possessing the formidable strength of a Soul Elder, and with the cooperation of Zhu Lu, who possessed the Netherworld Spirit Cat, could have been the champions. However, they ended up in third place, and Dai Huabin was so badly injured that he wouldn't even dare to look at his mother. Psychological scars were also inflicted.
Huo Yuhao was thrilled. Inside, he shouted, Mom, did you see that? Your little Yuhao has begun to avenge you. This beating is just the beginning. One day, I will have enough power to avenge us, to wash away the pain and humiliation we've suffered for over a decade!
Over here, Su Qingfeng was already summoned to the dean's office by Yan Shaozhe.
It was all because Su Qingfeng, when he did something, he made a big splash. They had originally wanted Su Qingfeng to train in the outer court, to see how much power his extreme ice could unleash among his peers.
But they hadn't expected that Su Qingfeng would actually develop a new system.
Furthermore, 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 choosing his second attribute was approaching.
Mu En and Yan Shaozhe both placed great importance on this.
"Qingfeng, Qingfeng, you're truly full of surprises. Come, this is the prize I've prepared for you for winning the championship. Take a look."
Yan Shaozhe presented a treasure box to 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 killed a sixty-thousand-year-old Soul Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest. It comes from the Skyclear Immortal Eagle, and I've named it the Skyclear Immortal Feather."
Just by looking, it was clear that Yan Shaozhe had privately taken this out, showing his affection for his junior disciple.
It just so happened to be able to compensate for Su Qingfeng's current weakness, his inability to freely enter and exit Sea God Island. If he possessed a pair of wings for flight, it would be different.
Right at that moment, Mu En also walked in, his body stooped.
