Return of the Phoenix Lady

"Of course! Are you unable to wait to drop out of school?" Han Xing successfully diverted Liu Hanyue's attention.

Shui Youran quietly raised her head and looked at Han Xing with gratitude and worry.

"I can't wait to see you turn into a pig!"

"You... humph~ Everything depends on actual strength. What's the use of just talking!" Liu Hanyue was very angry that she was always left speechless by that brat.

"Come on!" Han Xing didn't waste any words and walked into the arena.

From the outside, this arena is a perfect circle, somewhat like the ancient Roman Colosseum. When you get closer, you can see that the middle is the competition area, surrounded by stands dozens of stories high, which is probably enough for all the teachers and students in the school to watch.

There are also stones emitting spiritual energy floating around the competition area, and I don’t know what they are used for.

Liu Hanyue, who followed closely behind, saw Han Xing staring intently at the arena. Thinking he had never seen such a grand spectacle, he said smugly, "Why? It's spectacular, isn't it? Haha! Too bad, this is your last time here. Take a good look! It'll be a good souvenir, too! Haha!"

Han Xing said nothing, too lazy to pay attention to her unreasonable complacency. This arena was not her home, so what was there to be proud of?

Seeing Han Xing remained silent, Liu Hanyue thought he had been right, and with a burst of pride in her heart, she reminded him, "Let's make a deal first. If you lose, you will automatically drop out of school! Don't cheat when the time comes!"

"Don't forget, if you lose you have to shout three times on the playground: Liu Hanyue is a pig!" The reason why she was not expelled from school was that she did not want to offend the Liu family so soon. The game has just begun, so how can we rush into things?

"Hmph~~The only loser can be you!" Liu Hanyue said confidently.

"Stop talking nonsense and let's start!" Han Xing said lightly.

Teacher Liu and Teacher Chen approached, followed by a large group of students from the academy who took their seats in the stands. "Let me explain the rules of the competition. 1. Before competing, you must sign a Life and Death Contract. From this point on, life and death are determined by fate. If one team suffers casualties, the other team bears no responsibility. 2. The competition is limited to one stick of incense, with the winner determined by the severity of the injuries. 3. During the competition, if one team concedes, the other team wins. 4. Both teams may not summon monsters to compete; violators will lose. 5. Both teams may not use any medications; violators will lose. 6. The competition must take place within the competition area; those who leave the area will lose. 7. In the event of a tie, a playoff round can be played until a winner is determined. That's it, don't you understand? This is the Life and Death Contract. Please sign." After Teacher Liu read out the rules, a piece of parchment entitled "Life and Death Contract" and a pen appeared before Han Xing and Liu Hanyue. Han Xing picked up the pen and signed his name with ease. Liu Hanyue also signed, and the parchments flew back into Teacher Liu's hands.

"Okay, both competitors, please prepare to enter."

Teacher Chen stepped forward and said to Liu Hanyue, "Yue'er, you can definitely win this little competition! When the time comes, I'll definitely teach this ignorant brat a lesson!"

Liu Hanyue sneered at Han Xing, a fierce gleam in her eyes, and thought to herself: Humph~~ Brat! Today, I will take your life! See if you dare to be arrogant to me again! It's you who are stupid and overestimating your own abilities, don't blame me for being merciless under the whip! If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for provoking me, Liu Hanyue! She still said obediently: "Teacher, Yue'er knows the limits, just watch! Yue'er will definitely teach him a lesson!"

At this time, Teacher Liu also came over and said worriedly, "Xinghan, if you can't hold on any longer, just admit defeat. You are no match for Liu Hanyue. A real man can bend and stretch. If she strikes hard, you must not force yourself to hold on! Understand?"

"Teacher, don't worry!" Han Xing smiled and looked at Teacher Liu calmly.

After saying that, he walked towards the competition area with Liu Hanyue.

After the two stood on both sides of the area, at the same time, the spirit stones floating around swayed up and down under the stimulation of human power, and the light became brighter and brighter. A faint barrier rose up, covering Han Xing and Liu Hanyue. This was a barrier specially designed to block magic power and fighting spirit during competitions to prevent injury to the audience, while allowing them to see the situation inside clearly.

Liu Hanyue swung out her sacred long whip, Hongling, and said to Han Xing arrogantly, "Where's your weapon? You don't have it yet, do you?"

Han Xing smiled faintly and pulled the green ribbon towards his waist. The ribbon instantly turned into a sharp soft sword surrounded by green light.

"I didn't expect that you also have a holy weapon! No wonder you are so arrogant and dare to accept my challenge, but don't you know? With your limited cultivation, how can you control it? Why don't you give it to me, and I will spare your life, how about it?" When Liu Hanyue saw this soft sword full of holy energy, a greedy look flashed in her eyes. Han Xing wondered if she would pop her eyes out if she knew that this was actually a divine weapon.

People outside the competition area couldn't sense any aura and didn't know that this was a holy weapon, otherwise the scene would have been boiling.

Liu Hanyue also cultivates Dou Qi, currently a Rank 4 Advanced Warrior with a Fire attribute. Han Xing, after concealing his strength, is a Rank 5 Intermediate Warrior with a Wood attribute. Logically, while Fire doesn't overcome Wood, given their strength, Han Xing is bound to lose. But will Han Xing really lose? The answer is: Of course not!

Liu Hanyue launched the attack first, and swung the long whip with red light swiftly towards Han Xing's face. In fact, this was also a selfish motive of Liu Hanyue. She was very unhappy that a man was actually more beautiful than her.

Han Xing stood motionless, waiting for the long whip to come, while those who supported Han Xing in the stands became anxious, fearing that he was frightened and unable to move. They also felt sorry that such a stunning face was about to be ruined.

But just when everyone thought he was going to be hit, Han Xing moved, dodging to the side nimbly, and the long whip missed her by a few centimeters.

When Liu Hanyue's whip failed, he lashed out with even more force. But to Han Xing, it was still too slow, like watching someone in slow motion, and naturally it passed by easily.

Liu Hanyue gritted her teeth secretly and continued to swing the whip unwillingly, but every time when she was about to hit Han Xing, he dodged it with a light movement.

The crowd in the stands was secretly amazed. Some even suspected that the most beautiful woman, Liu Hanyue, had a secret crush on the most handsome man, and that the competition was just a flirtation, which was why they were all dodged one by one. Others suspected that Liu Hanyue's strength was only so-so, otherwise how could she not even be able to hit a freshman. Various speculations arose, and only Liu Hanyue, the person involved, knew the truth. She had tried her best to strike him with dozens of whips, but none of them hit him. She was exhausted and panting, while he remained calm and unfazed, as if nothing had happened. How could she not be frustrated and angry?

Han Xing wiped away most of the incense and said lightly: "You must be tired after fighting for so long. Next, it's my turn."

Before Liu Hanyue could react, Han Xing rushed forward, intending to engage in close combat. Her long whip was good at long-range attacks, while her soft sword was good at close-range attacks. If he attacked her next to her, it would be difficult for her to resist.

Han Xing would sometimes channel his Dou Qi into the soft sword, hardening it, and then strike Liu Hanyue. This hard sword, surrounded by Dou Qi, delivered quite a powerful blow! Sometimes he would withdraw some of his Dou Qi, turning it into a soft sword, and entangle Liu Hanyue when she threw Hong Ling at her.

In a moment, Liu Hanyue had been hit by Han Xing many times. Although he was not bleeding or injured, his body was definitely covered with bruises.

The people in the stands could only see Han Xing constantly circling Liu Hanyue, occasionally nudging her with his soft sword. Rumors immediately circulated that Han Xing also had feelings for the beautiful Liu Hanyue, even boldly teasing her with his sword in the arena. Liu Hanyue blushed with embarrassment. The most beautiful woman and the most handsome man were in love, and their classmates nicknamed them a pair of golden boy and jade girl. Later, when Han Xing heard this version of events, she was in a state of confusion, and Liu Hanyue was so enraged that she wanted to kill Han Xing immediately, deepening their feud.

Finally, after a stick of incense had passed, Han Xing automatically retreated to the opposite side of Liu Hanyue, and the green soft sword became a belt again.
