Lin Chengtian may look cold, but he is actually just serious and not as cold and hard as he appears. However, at this moment, his coldness seems to have materialized.

Ling Yi walked over and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Upon seeing Ling Yi, Lin Chengtian, who had been leaning against the wall, slowly straightened up: "Waiting for you."

Ling Yi asked, "What are you waiting for me for?"

Lin Chengtian simply looked at Ling Yi silently, without answering.

He rode a bird to Lingjia Village. As soon as he arrived at the village entrance, before he even entered, he was met with angry curses from the villagers. Some even tried to attack him. After communicating with them, he learned the reason.

The same birds, the indistinct beasts, the dead villagers—these clues converged, leading Lin Chengtian to understand Ling Yi's reasons for targeting Mu Zixuan.

"Ling Yi," Lin Chengtian said, "I've been to Ling Family Village."

Hearing this, Ling Yi's gaze turned much colder: "So what if you go?"

“I’m here now. I know why you’re targeting Mu Zixuan.” Lin Chengtian looked at Ling Yi. “I understand your hatred and desire for revenge, but fighting him would be too disadvantageous for you. How about you give up this competition?”

Upon hearing this, Ling Yi's anger flared up instantly, but before he could speak, he heard Lin Chengtian say, "Give up the competition, and I'll take revenge with you. I'll deal with his beast, and you'll deal with him."

Ling Yi looked at Lin Chengtian without saying a word.

Lin Chengtian looked at Ling Yi: "Ling Yi, I'm not asking you to give up your revenge. I just don't want you to fight him to the death. I don't want anything to happen to you."

The hurtful words vanished from his lips, and Ling Yi's expression returned to normal: "My mind is made up, and I will not change it." With that, Ling Yi turned to leave.

Lin Chengtian reached out to stop him, looking down at Ling Yi: "Yi Yi, I'm begging you, can we try a different approach?"

"No way." Ling Yi refused outright: "Also, don't call me that, it's disgusting."

Seeing that Ling Yi was unwilling to give up, Lin Chengtian tightened his grip on Ling Yi's hand even more: "In that case, I will go find Mu Zixuan now."

"Lin Chengtian." Ling Yi looked at the person in front of him with a deep gaze: "That's the revenge for my parents."

Lin Chengtian knew that Ling Yi wanted revenge, which was why he didn't go to Mu Zixuan as soon as he returned, but instead came to discuss it with Ling Yi.

"Then what do you want me to do?"

Lin Chengtian was heartbroken, his eyes filled with grief as he looked at Ling Yi: "Do you want me to just watch you die?"

"I didn't see you jump into the pond. Do you want me to see it with my own eyes?"

"How do you know I'll be the one to die?" Ling Yi said coldly, "Don't worry, I won't die. After all, I haven't killed your father yet."

Lin Chengtian was taken aback, but he did feel somewhat relieved after hearing this.

"Can we relax now?" Ling Yi said, "I need to go back and rest."

Lin Chengtian released his hand: "Have you eaten?"

"have eaten."

"Okay," Lin Chengtian said. "I'll pick you up for class tomorrow morning."

Ling Yi didn't answer, and turned back to the courtyard.

Lin Chengtian stood outside for a long time before leaving as night fell.

...

The next morning, Lin Chengtian came to pick up Ling Yi to go to class.

The classes before today were all in the Fire Academy. After arriving at the Fire Academy, Teacher Mu called Ling Yi aside and advised her not to have a life-or-death battle with Mu Zixuan.

Ling Yi refused. Teacher Mu saw that she couldn't persuade him no matter what she did, so she placed her hopes on Lin Chengtian, hoping that Lin Chengtian could persuade Ling Yi.

But it was no use; Ling Yi was determined to fight to the death, and no amount of persuasion could change his mind.

Within three days, the news of Ling Yi's impending life-or-death duel with Mu Zixuan spread throughout the academy, so on the day of the competition, the area below the dueling platform was packed with students.

People who were in class or not came; not only students but also teachers came.

Below the dueling platform, Mu Zixuan looked at Ling Yi who had come over and said, "I thought you didn't dare to come."

Ling Yi curled her lips into a smile: "If I'm going to take your life, I won't hesitate."

"You've got quite the big talk. I wonder if your strength matches your boast?" Mu Zixuan looked at Ling Yi. "I heard you're my third cousin's fiancée. Killing you wouldn't be good. If you admit your mistake, we'll let this matter go, how about it?"

Upon hearing this, Ling knew that Mu Zixuan had investigated her: "Your third cousin's fiancée is Lin Zhuyu, not me. How could you get something so common knowledge wrong? Your people are incompetent."

Mu Zixuan wanted to say something more, but Ling Yi interrupted him directly: "Stop talking nonsense."

"Since you're so eager to die, I'll grant your wish." After saying this, Mu Zixuan walked towards the dueling platform.

Ling Yi didn't say anything more and went up as well.

"Are you sure you want to fight to the death?" The person in charge of the dueling arena walked up to the two of them with a contract in hand. "If you are sure, sign your names. Once the contract is established, there will be no turning back."

“Confirmed.” After saying that, Ling Yi was the first to write his name on the contract.

“Of course,” Mu Zixuan followed closely.

The two signed a contract, which flew away from the teacher's hand, turning into specks of light in mid-air and forming a barrier that fell down.

The teacher said, "The duel arena is now open. Only one person can come out alive. Give it your all." With that, the teacher stepped off the duel arena before the barrier completely closed.

The barrier collapsed, and everyone looked at the two people inside, wondering who would come out alive.

"Ling Yi, you're lucky. I just formed a contract with a level three beast." Mu Zixuan raised his hand, forming a hand seal, and summoned a Frost Wolf: "Let me show you the power of a Frost Wolf!"

As the hand seals were completed, an array appeared beneath Mu Zixuan's feet, and the next moment, a frost wolf appeared within the array.

"Awoo!" The Frostwolf raised its head and let out a howl.

Mu Zixuan ordered: "Kill her!"

As the Frostwolf leaped into the air and pounced on Ling Yi, it opened its mouth and exhaled a chilling breath, which spread and frost appeared wherever it reached.

"It's frost mist!" the students from the Ice Academy exclaimed excitedly. "With such a large area of ​​frost mist, Ling Yi can't avoid it and will definitely be frozen!"

"If she gets frozen, won't she be doomed to lose?"

"definitely."

As the students of the Ice Academy were excited, the Frost Wolf landed, but it did not attack Ling Yi. Moreover, the frost mist dissipated, and the dueling platform was covered with a layer of frost, but Ling Yi was nowhere to be seen.

"Escaped?"

"how is this possible?"

"What about people?"

"Behind Mu Zixuan!" someone exclaimed.

"Holy crap, when did they get behind Mu Zixuan?"

"Did anyone see when she went there?"

"I don't know, I didn't see it at all!"

Amidst the excited discussions of the crowd, Ling Yi swiftly attacked Mu Zixuan. At that moment, the Frost Wolf, which had been standing in front of her, had no time to protect its master.

Mu Zixuan noticed Ling Yi's attack and tried to dodge, but it was too late. Ling Yi's fist landed, and Mu Zixuan was sent flying.

Mu Zixuan crashed to the ground with a thud, but immediately used his spiritual power to get up. He raised his hands to form a hand seal, and countless ice shards appeared.

"Go!" Mu Zixuan pushed with both hands, and the ice shards flew out instantly.
