Shocking! The female protagonist unlocked her powers by killing people!

Upon hearing that they were going to place a bet for Ling, Yan Wuxin immediately put his arm around Ye Qingshuang and said, "Let's go."

"Okay," Ye Qingshuang replied with a smile.

Yan Wuxin turned to look at the man: "Third Brother, let's go."

The man nodded.

Yan Wuxin introduced Ye Qingshuang: "This is my third brother, Yan Wuxuan."

"I know." Ye Qingshuang walked out with Yan Wuxin, saying as they went, "I've participated in this competition several times, I know you..."

"is it?"

"Correct."

The three walked further and further away, their voices gradually fading.

Teacher Li breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Ye Qingshuang take the person away.

Ling Yi's attitude was cold, but fortunately Qing Shuang softened it. Otherwise, she would have been treated coldly, and who knows what the Western Yan Empire would have thought.

...

Three days passed in a flash, and the third round of the competition began.

This time, it wasn't Teacher Li who called for help, but Ye Qingshuang.

Ling Yi looked at Ye Qingshuang, who had dug her out of bed: "Why are you so energetic so early in the morning? Did you take the wrong medicine?"

"No." Ye Qingshuang took Ling Yi's clothes and put them away, then took the basin to fetch water for Ling Yi to wash up.

Ling Yi looked at Ye Qingshuang, who was busy running around, and was speechless. She usually couldn't get up at this time, but she was so energetic today. She even said that she hadn't taken the wrong medicine.

After fetching the water back, Ye Qingshuang heated it with her spiritual power, then called to Ling Yi, "Come and wash up quickly. Come out and eat after you're done. I went out to buy some this morning. You've already eaten, so there's no problem." She then turned to leave.

Ling Yi reached out to stop the person and asked, "How much did you bet?"

Ye Qingshuang smiled and said, "Not much, just enough to lower my own value, but I guarantee you'll be in the top three."

Ling Yi: "...Aren't you afraid of going bankrupt?"

"How could that be? You can definitely do it," Ye Qingshuang said. "I believe in you."

Before Ling Yi could say anything, Ye Qingshuang said again, "Actually, not only did I log off, Yan Wuxin logged off too."

Ling Yi: "..."

"Alright, go wash up, I'll wait for you outside." Ye Qingshuang said and left the room.

When Ling Yi finished tidying up and came out, the stone table in the courtyard was already full of food, and everyone else was there.

After breakfast, the group headed to the Imperial Academy.

Upon arriving at the Imperial Academy, they took their seats. Half an hour later, the teacher arrived and announced the start of the third round of the competition.

The third round of the competition consists of a total of twenty-three students, with sixteen from the four great empires and seven from smaller countries. This ratio means that students from the Imperial Academy will face off against each other, and this round will eliminate more Imperial students, making it more exciting than the previous two rounds. As a result, the seats reserved for ministerial families to watch the competition are now full.

There are 23 people. In the box, there is a wooden card without a number. That card is the bye card, which means that if you draw that card, you can directly enter the next round.

After the teacher announced the names, they began to draw wooden plaques.

Everyone hoped they could draw the empty wooden card.

Ling Yi was the first to advance in the previous round, so he was the first to try this round.

Ye Qingshuang clasped her hands together and prayed earnestly: "I hope Ling Yi can draw a bye card."

Ling went up, randomly picked one up, took it out and looked at it, it was eleven.

Another bottom-ranked game today.

After Ling Yi showed the drawing to the teacher, she returned to her seat, and the others took turns drawing.

When the tenth person drew the bye card, the teacher immediately announced: "Xi Yan Empire, Yan Wuxuan, has drawn the bye card and does not need to participate in this round of the competition. He will directly enter the next round."

Upon hearing this, some cheered while others wailed in despair, some looked disappointed while others wore grim expressions.

The cheers came from the audience supporting Yan Wuxuan, while the disappointed ones were mostly students from small countries. There were only seven students left from the small countries. If they could draw a bye wooden card, they could advance to another round. Even if they were eliminated in the next round, the rewards would be completely different.

Unfortunately, it was the Imperial students who drew the bye sign.

Those with grim expressions were the Imperial students. Yan Wuxuan was already a formidable opponent. If he didn't participate in this round, he wouldn't be worn down, but they would be. They were already difficult to fight, and it would be even more difficult if they met in the next round.

Soon, all the wooden plaques were drawn, and the competition officially began.

In the first game of the third round, it was Luohe from the Dongyang Empire against Wenguiqi from the Xiyan Empire.

The two went up to the competition stage to test their cultivation levels, and both were rated as Level 2 Spirit Generals.

As soon as the teacher announced the start of the match, the two immediately began to fight.

Flame and water intertwined, resisting each other.

The crowd in the stands cheered for their favorite players. If one side cheered louder, the other side would raise their voice to try and drown out the other.

Ye Qingshuang leaned closer to Ling Yi and asked, "Ling Yi, who do you think will win?"

Ling Yi stared at the two people on the competition stage for a while, then said indifferently, "Ask about their return date."

Luohe should have only recently entered the second level of Spirit General, but Wen Guiqi's spiritual power is abundant and he is already showing signs of breaking through. Obviously, he has been in the second level of Spirit General for a long time and will break through soon.

And Wen Guiqi's movements were like those of a ghost. Although he had no strange fire, his solid cultivation combined with that movement technique was enough to take down Luohe.

Sure enough, as soon as Ling finished speaking, Wen Guiqi knocked the person off the competition stage.

The teacher announced that the Western Flame Empire had won the first round.

The first round ended, and the players took the stage for the second round: Bei Qianning from the Beiming Empire and Mu Huaiyi from the Nanyuan Empire.

Upon hearing their names, Ye Qingshuang said, "If it were Mu Shengyuan, he could still compete with Bei Qianning, but Mu Huaiyi is not."

Ling Yi didn't say anything, and the two of them went to the competition stage to test their cultivation.

Bei Qianning, a third-level spirit general.

Mu Huaiyi, a first-class spirit general.

On the competition stage, Bei Qianning switched between ice and water attributes with ease, quickly forcing Mu Huaiyi to the edge of the stage.

Ye Qingshuang said, "If Bei Qianning and Mu Shengyuan were to fight, we would be able to see the characteristics of their respective spiritual roots."

Since Bei Qianning didn't use special ice water when fighting Mu Huaiyi, she couldn't let Ling Yi take a closer look.

Ling Yi watched quietly as the second game ended with Mu Huaiyi conceding defeat.

The third game...

Ye Qingshuang and Ling Yi looked at Lin Chengtian.

Lin Chengtian got up and left the field. It was at this moment that the two learned that Lin Chengtian's opponent was a player from a small country.

The two teachers and the two students accompanying them all breathed a sigh of relief. Cheng Tian (Brother Lin) had no problem dealing with the students from the small country.

The match ended quickly, with Lin Chengtian winning the third game.

In the fourth game, Dongyang Empire's Dongfang Jibai faced off against Dongyang Empire's Xu Zichen.

The two went up to the competition stage. After their strength was tested, Xu Zichen immediately conceded defeat, and Dongfang Jibai won.

This game ended even faster than the previous ones.

The two players left the court, and the fifth round began.

In the fifth round, Mu Shengyuan of the Southern Kite Empire faced off against Bai Qingqing of the Northern Underworld Empire.

Ye Qingshuang said, "Bai Qingqing can't beat Mu Shengyuan."

Ling Yi didn't speak, but just watched quietly.

The two went on stage to test their cultivation levels: Mu Shengyuan was a fourth-level Spirit General, and Bai Qingqing was a second-level Spirit General.

Mu Shengyuan was the student with the highest cultivation level among the participants, and her vines were difficult to resist, leading to a crushing victory throughout the competition.
