Devouring all things: I possess the energy of chaos.

Ten minutes passed quickly.

"In the second game, Zhang Lei will face Shi Tianhao."

As the referee announced the verdict, the group from Yanyang No. 2 Middle School all changed their expressions.

"What exactly does Yanyang No. 1 Middle School mean? Didn't Zhang Lei already play in one game? Ten minutes isn't enough for him to recover to his peak condition. Are they looking down on Yanyang No. 2 Middle School by continuing to let this junior play?"

Bai Tianbu finally couldn't sit still any longer and went up to argue with the referee, angrily saying...

However, in response to Bai Tianbu's anger, the referee simply explained, "Calm down first. The rules don't say that the same person can't continue to play. Since Yanyang No.1 Middle School continues to choose Zhang Lei to play, then we'll follow the rules."

Upon hearing this explanation, Bai Tianbu's expression grew even more unpleasant, and he could only return empty-handed.

On the high platform in the audience.

Both Li Rui and Hu Tianren's expressions turned cold.

Li Rui, abandoning his vice-principal demeanor, coldly said, "Zhuang Jie, you're quite something. Look at the good students you've taught, are they all such arrogant fools?"

"Hmph, so arrogant, aren't you afraid of biting off more than you can chew?"

Zhuang Jie's expression remained unchanged as he smiled and said, "Li Rui, we're just doing things within the rules. Strength is the only thing that matters. We haven't broken any rules, nor have we restricted your students. If your school has the strength, you can do the same."

Li Rui's face darkened. Their Yanyang No. 2 Middle School was already relatively weak overall, so how could they have such strength?

In the past, coming to Yanyang No. 1 Middle School was always a disappointment, but this year a student who awakened his Yuan Soul gave him some confidence.

Unexpectedly, Yanyang No. 1 Middle School is even more arrogant than in previous years, showing no respect whatsoever to No. 2 Middle School!

"Is it to try and get the student to catch the professor's eye?"

Unconsciously, Li Rui glanced at the private room on the upper floor.

The main reason is that Yanyang No.1 Middle School's behavior this year has been too high-profile. Their decision to continue playing Zhang Lei is clearly intended to allow Zhang Lei to win three consecutive games.

This behavior is like showing someone a product, trying your best to showcase its excellence and catch that person's eye.

Over the years, some students from Yanyang No.1 High School have been exceptionally talented and have been admitted to prestigious martial arts universities.

A typical martial arts university wouldn't require them to act this way.

"Could it be that the instructor who came this time represents a highly ranked martial arts university? Could it be a top-tier martial arts university?"

Thinking of this, Li Rui's eyes narrowed suddenly, and his breathing became rapid.

"No wonder, I knew Zhuang Jie wasn't going to bother with formalities this year, he was going straight for the hard stuff."

So he quickly greeted Chen Yuanyang, who was standing next to him, and asked him to come over.

After he came over, he whispered, "Go and talk to Mo Hong again. As long as it's not some evil or crooked path, whatever means you use, even if it's opportunistic, do your best to beat those three from No. 1 Middle School."

“If he wins, I will give him a separate reward of 100,000 yuan. If he can catch the eye of the university professor, the reward will increase from 200,000 to 300,000 yuan.”

Upon hearing the amount of the bonus, Chen Yuanyang was taken aback and asked doubtfully, "Principal Li, is the bonus for Mo Hong really that much? Besides, it seems the school's budget for this year doesn't even include that much?"

"You don't need to worry about that. I'll cover the shortfall myself."

Chen Yuanyang had no choice but to agree, since it wasn't his own money being spent.

Li Rui glanced at Mo Hong below the stage and muttered to himself, "After all, he has awakened his Yuan Soul talent and is a C-level genius signed with the Star Soul Martial Hall. That's enough for me to bet some of my life savings on him."

"Besides, even if I lose, I won't lose anything."

At this moment, Shi Tianhao and Zhang Lei both entered the arena and each took a sword from the armory.

There are still quite a few people who use swords in this era.

Shi Tianhao's face was icy cold as he said, "I want to see just how powerful your Yanyang No. 1 Middle School really is, so arrogant as to think you can defeat two opponents at once."

"Since that's the case, I don't care whether your physical condition has recovered to its best. Pang Xiong will definitely get his revenge on me for the humiliation he suffered."

However, Zhang Lei just gave a cold laugh and didn't say anything.

"Game start."

After saying this, the referee immediately walked off the field.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Lei took the lead, taking a few quick steps to close the distance with Shi Tianhao.

Shi Tianhao reacted just as well, leaping forward with his toes and diving straight at Zhang Lei.

Point to point!

In the blink of an eye, accompanied by a sharp "sizzle" sound, the two swords clashed together.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!!"

Neither of them showed any weakness, swinging their swords wildly, sparks faintly appearing at the center of their collision.

Compared to the previous round, the two clashed even more fiercely, exchanging more than a dozen blows in just a few blinks of an eye.

Mo Hong sat in a seat, silently watching the fierce duel.

At this point in the battle, both sides appear evenly matched, and it is still impossible to determine who will win.

Just then, a figure walked over; it was Chen Yuanyang.

"Instructor Chen."

Chen Yuanyang nodded and sat down near Mo Hong.

"Mo Hong, are you confident about the upcoming battle?"

Chen Yuanyang looked at the two people on the field and asked.

Mo Hong was silent for a few seconds before he was about to speak when Chen Yuanyang continued, "Principal Li just asked me to come and find you. He emphasized that if you win the competition, he will give you a separate reward of 100,000 Federal Coins. If the university professor takes a liking to you, the original 200,000 will be increased to 300,000."

Upon hearing this, Mo Hong's eyes narrowed slightly, and he gradually realized the importance of this competition.

The main reason is that the school gave us such a large bonus this time.

"I reckon this competition is mainly for that mentor's benefit. The martial arts university that mentor belongs to should be ranked quite high. Mo Hong, you must give it your all." "Also, if Shi Tianhao wins this round, you'll probably have to fight two people in a row. Be prepared mentally. But it's okay if you lose, after all, it's a bit of a stretch to win two in a row."

Mo Hong took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Instructor, I will do my best to live up to the reputation of Yanyang No. 2 Middle School."

Chen Yuanyang gave Mo Hong a final word of encouragement before leaving his seat.

Mo Hong turned his attention back to the arena and realized that the two had really gone all out in their match.

At this moment, both of their martial arts uniforms were riddled with holes, and both of them had accumulated more or less injuries.

"Clang!"

Their swords clashed again.

Zhang Lei's eyes hardened, and he suddenly spun his sword 180 degrees, knocking Shi Tianhao's sword away.

The weapon fell to the ground, and Shi Tianhao was clearly flustered. Just as he was about to pick it up, a sword was already at his neck.

"Zhang Leisheng".

The referee announced.

The sword was finally removed from Shi Tianhao's neck only after the results were announced.

His legs went weak, and after staggering a few steps, he collapsed to the ground.

In an instant, everyone at Yanyang No. 2 Middle School turned pale.
