Battle Through the Heavens: Clan Leader, I'm sorry, now I just want to be a good person.

However, the final battle between the two once again surprised everyone.

"Lin...Lin Xiuya...lost?"

Many people were watching the figure standing gracefully in a corner of the competition platform, resembling a blue butterfly.

His eyes were filled with unconcealed shock.

Before this, Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan had already gained considerable fame within the inner academy, so although their defeat of Liu Qing and Yan Hao surprised everyone, it wasn't particularly hard to accept.

After all, their original identities and strengths already far surpassed those of most of the students.

As fifth-grade alchemists, even the academy elders would treat them with kindness and respect.

But what about Xun'er?

She usually stays inside the Panmen Gate, and apart from attracting attention because of her appearance, she has almost never been in contact with outsiders.

But this usually unassuming woman actually defeated Lin Xiuya.

In that instant, the audience in the stands looked at Xun'er with deep horror.

In contrast, Lin Xiuya, lying in the center of the competition platform, had a complex expression on his face.

He thought his opponent would be Xiao Fan or Xiao Yan.

But he never expected that he would lose to Xiao Xun'er like this.

Moreover, he showed no resentment whatsoever.

After all, during their fight, he could sense that although the girl opposite him seemed to have tried her best, he could still feel that she was not doing well.

The opponent still has extremely terrifying methods they haven't used yet.

This was merely a deduction based on the sense of apprehension he emanated from the other party.

"Isn't this her full strength?"

Lin Xiuya looked at Xiao Xun'er standing to the side and shook his head with a wry smile.

His once-proud strength proved so easily defeated. Despite his defeat, Lin Xiuya maintained a calm demeanor, though the hint of disappointment on his face was impossible to conceal.

"Brother Xiao Yan, am I amazing?"

On the competition stage, Xun'er ignored the gazes of others, looked at Xiao Yan sitting to the side, narrowed her eyes, and asked with a smile.

Xiao Yan snapped out of his shock when he heard Xun'er's question and looked at the girl walking slowly toward him.

Xiao Yan smiled slightly, reached out and took her small hand, gently squeezed it, and laughed, "Well, you've been hiding it so well."

"Whee!"

Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Xun'er just smiled and nestled in his arms.

In the stands, the crowd watched the two embracing, their expressions filled with undisguised surprise.

"This is truly a match made in heaven..."

As Xun'er and Lin Xiuya's battle ended, the Grand Elder landed on the stone platform where the two had just competed.

Well, unlike Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan, their battle did not destroy another stone platform. Although there were some minor damages in many places, the impact was not significant.

The Grand Elder landed on the competition platform, stroked his white beard, and then said with a smile, "I didn't expect this year's Strong Ranking Competition to be so unexpected."

Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing the elder's words.

Who said no?

Xiao Fan, Xiao Yan, Xiao Xun'er.

Three freshmen who had just entered the inner academy actually made it into the top five of the competition.

Lin Xiuya, Yan Hao, and Liu Qing, who were originally ranked second, third, and fourth on the leaderboard, failed to even make it into the top five, a result that truly surprised everyone.

Thinking of this, everyone glanced once more at Xiao Fan and the other two standing in front.

In particular, many people realized that the three of them were the founders of Panmen!

"It seems that the strength of Panmen in the inner courtyard will be further expanded."

It is already astonishing that three founders of a sect have made it into the top five in the inner courtyard's ranking competition.

What's more, two of them are fifth-grade alchemists, which is simply the best form of publicity.
