A deathly silence fell over the arena stage.
The referee raised a trembling hand, his voice dry as he announced, "A-Arena one hundred and sixty-six! Winner, Gu Yuexi of Du Nan First Middle School!"
The moment he finished speaking, several medical personnel in white coats rushed forward, frantically loading Luo Cheng onto a stretcher.
He was seriously injured. Several of his ribs were broken, and his Qi Blood was in turmoil. He probably wouldn't be able to participate in the upcoming tri-provincial examination.
But Luo Cheng felt not a single shred of resentment. Instead, he was filled with the relief of having survived a close brush with death.
He knew that with that last finger strike, his opponent had shown him immense mercy.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have been his sword that shattered, but his head!
'A monster...'
'She's truly a monster...'
...
Gu Yuexi still had a calm and carefree expression, as if she had just swatted a fly.
