Chapter 107: Aren't You Already in the Water?

By the time Qin Jian was ready to enter, there were not many people left around.

"Qin Jian, having been interrupted by the academy teachers twice, let us decide the winner this time!"

At this moment, Feng Xiaotian suddenly approached.

Although his face was covered, making it impossible to see his expression, those flame-like eyes let Qin Jian know just how much this guy wanted to defeat him.

"I hope your academy won't pull any more tricks this time," Qin Jian said indifferently.

Who knew that Feng Xiaotian did not respond to this, but instead said, "Regardless, in the end, I will have a fair fight with you alone."

Saying this, he walked into the passage without looking back...

Qin Jian frowned behind him, and then heard Huo Wu's voice ring out beside him: "Qin Jian..."

"You haven't gone in yet either?" Qin Jian turned his head and said.

Huo Wu seemed to curl the corners of her mouth and said, "That's because I saw you hadn't gone yet."

"Then you should have come when Feng Xiaotian hadn't left just now; after all, the conflict between him and me is entirely because of you," Qin Jian said, crossing his arms.

Huo Wu's brows furrowed: "What does that have to do with me?"

"Doesn't Feng Xiaotian like you?" Qin Jian said.

Huo Wu gave a cold snort: "That is all his own wishful thinking. He insists on pestering me shamelessly. What can I do about such things? I find it very annoying, okay!"

"Things like liking someone really cannot be forced..."

Qin Jian rolled his eyes and suddenly said, "How about I teach you a good way to shake him off?"

"What is it?" Huo Wu's eyes lit up.

"Of course, it's to find someone to date; that way Feng Xiaotian will definitely give up," Qin Jian said, spreading his hands.

"Pfft..."

Huo Wu first let out a scoff, but then she cast her gaze onto Qin Jian, her eyes slowly brightening.

"What are you looking at me for?"

Qin Jian felt a slight sense of unease.

"I don't think I need to find someone to date..."

Huo Wu suddenly took a step forward, leaned in close to him, and breathed like an orchid: "If I just tell him I like you, wouldn't he give up?"

Qin Jian widened his eyes: "Don't drag me into the water again!"

"Aren't you already in the water?" Huo Wu said.

Qin Jian: "......"

"Will the last two students please enter the passage immediately; there are two junctions on the second-level platform where the numbers are incomplete, and the elimination cannot begin."

At this moment, the host's voice came over again, and the two looked at each other before walking toward the remaining two passages respectively.

"Qin Jian..."

Huo Wu suddenly turned back and couldn't help but call out.

Qin Jian stopped and turned around: "What's wrong?"

"Were you worried just now that they would play tricks again?" Huo Wu asked.

Qin Jian nodded and said, "I always feel that the tournament format this time is particularly strange."

"You don't need to worry..."

Huo Wu's eyes glanced at her own toes, and she whispered: "If there really is no other way, we still have a way to turn the tables. When the time comes... I will help you..."

As soon as she finished speaking, she couldn't help but run into the passage...

Qin Jian: "......"

In the stands.

That teacher who had been following Blazing Academy found Yan Zhining again: "I say, Yan Zhining, isn't having the entire Tianshui Team enough for your Qin Jian? Does he have to extend his demonic claws toward our Huo Wu? Do they even know that this is being broadcast live? What is the meaning of two people from different academies whispering to each other for so long?"

Yan Zhining rolled her eyes: "That was your Huo Wu who came over on her own; what does it have to do with Qin Jian?"

"No, I just want to confirm, you don't intend to use such despicable methods to lure our Huo Wu away, do you?"

Her worried appearance made Yan Zhining unable to help but laugh: "I've discovered that Qin Jian's true core competitiveness isn't fighting, but his ability to lure away young girls, hahaha..."

The Blazing Academy teacher's face turned black instantly...

Inside the mountain, Qin Jian spiraled upward along the bright passage until a door appeared before him.

"Click!"

He pushed it open gently and walked out...

"Eh? Qin Jian!"

A girl's voice rang out. Qin Jian looked over and saw Shui Bing'er looking at him with a face full of surprise.

And on the other side, the expression of the Elephant Armor Academy student was indescribable; he wanted to appear righteous in front of the pretty girl, but he also knew he was bound to lose.

"It looks like as long as one of us three is eliminated, we can go to the next level?"

Qin Jian stood with Shui Bing'er without hesitation, and the two looked at the opponent with hostility.

"Uh..."

The Elephant Armor Academy student scratched his head and suddenly said, "How about this, let's not fight. I'm going to be eliminated anyway, so how about I just save you some soul power?"

"That kind?" Qin Jian glanced at him.

The burly youth gave a hehe laugh and said, "As long as that..."

He pointed at Shui Bing'er and said, "As long as she lets me hug her, that's fine."

Shui Bing'er's willow brows furrowed.

"Hum!"

Qin Jian activated his martial soul directly.

"You had better just let me beat you up, otherwise my thoughts won't be clear..."

The next moment, Sword Qi overflowed on the platform, accompanied by cries of misery; the tragic sight made everyone in the Soul Fighting Arena above break out in a cold sweat.

Especially the Elephant Armor Academy, who felt both ashamed by their student's performance and shocked that he had been defeated so quickly.

"Of all people to provoke, why did he have to provoke Bing'er?"

Yan Zhining smiled very relaxedly: "She is, after all, the apple of Qin Jian's eye..."

Seeing Qin Jian and Shui Bing'er gather together, she felt mostly at ease.

"Huh? Why aren't the students from Thunder Academy and Kamikaze Academy fighting?" At this moment, a remark from Xiao Jing drew her attention.

Yan Zhining hurriedly looked toward the other screens, and her expression changed slightly.

"How could this be? Thunder Academy and Kamikaze Academy aren't fighting each other at all, but are instead targeting the other academies in unison..."

Her eyes suddenly widened: "Not good! We've been played!"

Xiao Jing also realized: "They are forming an alliance; this way, the ones who reach the final battle stage will inevitably be the two of them with the most people!"

At this time, more and more people in the various spectator stands also discovered this point, and the sound of discussion suddenly grew louder...

"How shameless! To actually form an alliance in secret!"

"Exactly! The two of them were already favorites to win the championship; if they join forces, what point is there for us three academies to participate?"

"......"

The students of Blazing Academy, Tianshui Academy, and Elephant Armor Academy began to accuse Thunder Academy and Kamikaze Academy in unison, especially on the side of Elephant Armor Academy, where the crowd was even more indignant because they were the unluckiest, having had 7 people eliminated in the first round...

The students of Thunder Academy and Kamikaze Academy were completely unfazed, each standing by their own academy's position and speaking with great justification...

"This is called strategy, do you understand? Even team battles are very particular about strategy; are you all stupid?"

"Between academies, there is not only competition but also cooperation; this is the true meaning of us Five Elements Academies being mentioned together!"

"......"

For a time, the entire Soul Fighting Arena was clamorous and boiling, with various arguments nearly blowing the roof off...
