Chapter 405: Change

The battle between Jiang Jiang Qinge and Zhao Zhao Huiyin pushed the atmosphere of this ticket match directly to its climax; the stands were filled with soaring spirits, and countless cheers and applause echoed without cease.

"The first three matches of this ticket tournament are our academy's period of dominance, so this result is no surprise, but the true difficulty lies not here; rather, it lies in the upcoming matches." On the stands, Li Luo commented on the unfolding situation, while the one-star academy students around him all assumed postures of listening.

"Excluding our one-star academy's match, there are still three matches remaining, namely Duze Duze Honglian, Senior Zhu Zhu Xuan, and Ye Ye Qiuding. The battles of these three are crucial; as long as they can achieve one victory and one draw, then this ticket will undoubtedly belong to us."

Lu Qing'er also sat down, sitting beside Bai Bai Mengmeng. As the two faces of the one-star academy, one woman was clear and icy, the other pure and cute; now with their two pretty faces close together, they drew the gaze of many male students in the one-star academy, who looked at them with itching hearts.

"In that case, wouldn't it mean you won't get to fight?" Lu Qing'er said. If the next three matches for the Holy Profound Star Academy side could truly achieve one victory and one draw, then the result would be basically decided, and Li Luo's match would become irrelevant.

Li Luo waved his hand and smiled, saying, "Whether I get to fight or not isn't important; as long as we get the ticket, that's enough. After all, this isn't even the main event; the true great battle lies in the Holy Cup Tournament."

Lu Qing'er nodded and smiled charmingly, saying, "I actually think it would be a pity if that were the case. Your strength is beyond doubt; outsiders should be allowed to see that the Holy Profound Star Academy not only has an invincible person in the three-star academy, but that we in the one-star academy also have someone who is not inferior to Senior Sister Jiang."

The students of the one-star academy around them had slightly strange expressions. Although Li Luo's record was indeed quite good, if compared to Jiang Jiang Qinge's invincible posture, it was obviously still a step behind; Lu Qing'er's words were somewhat elevating Li Luo.

But the relationship between Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge was extremely special, which caused them not to know where to start with words of refutation, so they could only dryly laugh and agree.

For the perfunctory cooperation of others, Lu Qing'er did not care, because only she herself knew that she had not overly elevated Li Luo, but truly believed this from the bottom of her heart.

Jiang Jiang Qinge was indeed very excellent, but Li Luo was not necessarily inferior to her.

Especially after experiencing the Golden Dragon Dojo, Lu Qing'er was even more able to see Li Luo's capabilities.

Li Luo smiled and did not continue to say much on this matter; instead, he turned his gaze toward the battlefield among the mountains, because at this moment, Duze Duze Honglian had also entered the arena.

As the person second only to Jiang Jiang Qinge in the three-star academy, Duze Duze Honglian could actually be considered excellent; it was just that because Jiang Jiang Qinge was simply too dazzling and brilliant, she had completely obscured her light.

Speaking of it, Duze Duze Honglian and Jiang Jiang Qinge were in the same academy level, which could be said to be a bit unlucky for her.

Duze Duze Honglian, who had fallen into the battlefield, also attracted many gazes. Today she wore a black combat suit and held a crimson-scaled long sword. Her figure was slightly tall, with curves that were full of visual impact, and paired with her cold and beautiful appearance, she could be considered a golden flower anywhere.

Yan Tai from the Blue Abyss Holy Academy, also of the three-star academy, entered the arena. He held a crimson long staff in his hand, and a smiling expression was on his face.

When the two sides met, there was no unnecessary small talk; they directly unleashed their Affinity Power.

What was more interesting was that whether it was Duze Duze Honglian or Yan Tai, both possessed Fire Affinity. Now that their Affinity Power was activated, crimson Affinity Power immediately filled the entire arena, high heat radiated, causing the air to gradually become distorted.

Accompanied by the sound of bells and drums, firelight suddenly shot up into the sky among the mountains.

The battle between the two sides was more intense than imagined.

Because the strength of Duze Duze Honglian and Yan Tai was the closest among these matches, both were at the realm of the Golden Evil Body; whether in strength or Affinity Rank, they were not much different, so fighting as they were now, they brought out all their trump cards, pouring their full strength into the attack and defense without mercy.

In a short moment, both sides had already sustained injuries.

But whether it was Duze Duze Honglian or Yan Tai, neither showed the slightest intention of retreating; instead, they erupted with tenacious fighting spirit and fought to the death with all their might.

Wildfire swept across the plains, engulfing the battlefield.

And as time passed, the expressions of many on the stands gradually became solemn, because the two people in the battlefield had injuries on their bodies that began to accumulate and grow heavier. Even though both sides had reached the level of the Golden Evil Body, their bodies were still torn open with bloodstained marks.

That tragic state was stronger than any battle before.

Fighting to this extent was already a contest of wills.

On the tiered stands, the students of the Holy Profound Star Academy had already begun to shout loudly to cheer for Duze Duze Honglian.

Li Luo was also somewhat moved by the tragedy of the battle situation; Duze Duze Honglian's performance this time truly surprised him a bit. He hadn't seen it before, but her fighting will was actually this tenacious.

"It seems Senior Sister Jiang put a lot of pressure on her," Lu Qing'er beside him said, hitting the nail on the head.

Li Luo nodded thoughtfully. Duze Duze Honglian was also a very strong-willed person. Previously, Jiang Jiang Qinge had won so beautifully, earning cheers from the entire arena, and if she lost this match, it would be hard for her to accept.

She did not want to lose to Jiang Jiang Qinge by too much.

So even if she could not win a match for the Holy Profound Star Academy, she did not want to bring about a loss.

"Yan Tai and her strength are extremely close; it is too difficult to determine a winner. If they continue to fight fiercely like this, there is only one result: a draw where both sides suffer heavy losses," Li Luo said slowly.

"This Senior Sister Duze Duze Honglian is also very strong," Bai Bai Mengmeng sighed and said.

Li Luo nodded. Although he had been somewhat discordant with Duze Duze Honglian in the past, her performance now deserved every member of the Holy Profound Star Academy to cheer and applaud for her.

At the same time, on the side of the Blue Abyss Holy Academy.

Zhao Zhao Huiyin, Zhongnan, and others were also watching the tragic duel within the battlefield.

"That Duze Duze Honglian is a bit more difficult to deal with than imagined."

Zhao Zhao Huiyin sighed with some regret, saying, "What a pity. I originally thought Yan Tai would have a slight advantage."

Zhongnan spoke with a steady voice, saying, "Although Duze Duze Honglian's fame is not as great as Jiang Jiang Qinge's, that is because Jiang Jiang Qinge's light is too dazzling; her own strength and foundation cannot be underestimated."

Zhao Zhao Huiyin nodded and said, "However, the current situation has not yet deviated from the initial expectation; we still have a chance."

Immediately, she turned her head, looked at Lu Cang behind her, reached out to pat his shoulder, and said, "We have done our utmost to pave the way; how the final result turns out depends on you."

Lu Cang smiled slightly and said, "Senior Sister Zhao, rest assured."

"If my match truly drags into a decisive battle, I will not let you down."

Time continued to pass, and the fierce battle in the arena became increasingly tragic.

By the end, many people could not bear it and closed their eyes.

But the battle eventually ended.

At the moment when Duze Duze Honglian's sword pierced Yan Tai's abdomen and the latter's crimson staff smashed heavily onto her back, both sides spat out fresh blood and flew backward, falling to the ground, unable to get up again.

The result was no surprise.

A draw where both sides suffered heavy losses.

Someone entered the arena and carried both of them out.

On the tiered stands, thunderous applause rang out.

For this draw, both sides deserved respect.

Next, the competition continued.

However, if the students of the Holy Profound Star Academy had previously felt they held certain victory, the next two matches caused the atmosphere of the entire venue to instantly drop to freezing point.

Because...

The two representatives of the two-star academy, Senior Zhu Zhu Xuan and Ye Ye Qiuding, both failed.
