The atmosphere on the field suddenly became quite heavy. No one expected that all three members of the Conqueror team had reached level 6. The outcome of this battle was basically no longer in doubt.

Moreover, many people already feel that tomorrow's final is a foregone conclusion.

The Conquerors are like a terrifying demon king looming over people's minds.

The match continued. Yoshida Goki, who had defeated Lu Lei with a punch, was about to rush to the flag stand of the Battle Soul team when he suddenly felt his footing falter. When he turned around, he saw Lu Lei tightly holding Yoshida Goki's right leg with his only remaining left hand.

After struggling a few times without breaking free from Lu Lei's control, Yoshida Goki raised his left foot and kicked Lu Lei's injured arm hard.

Lu Lei's face turned deathly pale instantly, but he didn't utter a sound, still gripping Yoshida Goki's right leg tightly with his left hand.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Yoshida kicked Lu Lei several times in succession. The immense pain twisted Lu Lei's originally resolute face into an extremely distorted expression, making him look heartbreaking. The surrounding audience couldn't help but stand up, their expressions becoming incredibly complex—worry, anger, and anguish. Everyone wished they could rush down and stop this tragedy.

As the captain of the War Soul Team, Zhang Chenyang's eyes were already red with anger. As he charged towards Yoshida Gouki, he made a gesture with both hands, and a light arrow appeared between his hands. Behind him, Sakura once again transformed into a war horse and charged towards him.

Seeing this, Yoshida Goki knew the situation was critical, so he quickly slashed hard at Lu Lei's back with his palm, and Lu Lei immediately fainted. At this moment, Zhang Chenyang's light arrow also shot towards him. Yoshida Goki immediately jumped to the left and finally dodged it at the critical moment.

Behind Zhang Chenyang, before the Sakura War Riders charged forward, Peng Chengyumo suddenly appeared behind Zhang Chenyang. She quickly formed several hand seals, and then unleashed a Rain Sweep skill towards the War Riders.

With the assistance of Miyazawa Shin, Yu Mansha was unable to completely thwart the Sakura War Riders' offensive. In the end, Peng Chengyumo and Zhang Chenyang were both knocked away by the rushing war riders.

The War Souls team suffered a complete defeat!

The stadium fell silent. The turn of events had been so sudden that many people were unable to accept it for a moment.

Zhu Zheng, the coach of the War Soul team, rushed to the field and shouted for medical personnel. Zhang Chenyang, disregarding his own injuries, used his light-based healing skills to heal Lu Lei.

On the sidelines of the stadium, a group of medical staff were carrying a stretcher and running towards Lu Lei.

Qin Xiaochuan suddenly felt someone pat his shoulder. He turned around and saw Wei Feng looking dejected, while Guo Shiyi also looked disappointed.

"Let's go," Wei Feng said calmly, then said no more. The three of them returned to the hotel with heavy hearts.

Because everyone was feeling down, no one spoke during lunch. It wasn't until after lunch that Guo Shiyi said, "How about we go check on the War Soul Team?"

"Okay." The other two nodded at the same time.

The hospital where the War Souls team was located was not far from the hotel. The three of them arrived in about ten minutes by taxi. It was said to be a special hospital where many of the doctors were superhumans who had learned healing skills.

When they arrived at the hospital ward, Lu Lei was still unconscious, while his teammates Zhang Chenyang and Peng Chengyumo were keeping watch over him.

Zhang Chenyang and Peng Chengyu both looked listless and became very quiet when they saw the three of them. Peng Chengyu, in particular, had slightly red eyes, suggesting she had been crying.

Such outstanding superhumans must be the darlings of their respective sects, and naturally they are well cared for by their teachers and elders. Suddenly encountering such a huge setback, especially watching their teammates get seriously injured, is indeed hard for a proud girl to accept.

Seeing that Lu Lei was unlikely to wake up anytime soon, Zhang Chenyang gestured to the three of them, and they walked together to the corridor outside the ward and sat down on the chairs.

"Are you and Yumo alright?" Guo Shiyi asked Zhang Chenyang.

"It's nothing." Zhang Chenyang shook his head. The loss in the competition and the injury of his teammates made him feel very down. "Yu Mo and I only suffered minor injuries. I had already treated us with my healing skills before we came to the hospital."

For a moment, the three of them didn't know what to say. In this situation, verbal comfort was of no use at all, and proud people like them certainly didn't need comforting.

"Then... what about Lu Lei?" Guo Shiyi asked hesitantly at the end.

Zhang Chenyang looked somber. "The punch he threw at Yoshida Goki not only completely shattered his arm, but also caused shock to his internal organs, resulting in numerous internal injuries. In addition, Yoshida Goki's last few kicks made his arm injury even more serious, with bones dislocated and twisted, and many bone fragments even piercing into his muscles."

Upon hearing this, Guo Shiyi looked distressed. "What about his arm..."

"If you keep healing with healing skills, there is still hope of recovery, but it will take a long time to heal."

"So what about your match tomorrow?" Guo Shiyi asked, frowning.

"Let's see how Lu Lei is tomorrow," Zhang Chenyang said calmly. Their original goal was the final championship, so they weren't interested in the third-place match. "If he wakes up, the three of us will play; if he doesn't wake up, it will be just me and Yu Mo."

"Lu Lei's condition?" Guo Shiyi looked at him in surprise. "Even if he wakes up, you can't let him sleep with you..." Her voice suddenly stopped because Peng Chengyumo happened to walk out of the ward.

"He's on our team, so naturally we'll compete together. I think he'll definitely ask for that when he wakes up," Peng Chengyu answered for Zhang Chenyang. "Of course, we definitely won't let him play again."

For some reason, Qin Xiaochuan suddenly recalled the scene of Lu Lei clinging tightly to Yoshida Goki, and he began to doubt whether the two of them could persuade Lu Lei.

"I never expected that we would be the ones to break our promise in the end," Zhang Chenyang said with a bitter smile.

At this point, the pre-match rivalry between the two teams became irrelevant; on the contrary, their predicament was truly pitiful.

Guo Shiyi comforted him, saying, "Don't be too discouraged. This doesn't mean you broke your promise. You've done your best. It's just that the opponents were too monstrous. None of us expected that each of them would reach level 6."

Zhang Chenyang looked very dejected. "Yes, it was really unexpected. We thought we were well prepared, but we still lost miserably in the end."

Guo Shiyi can no longer comfort him now. After all, comfort is not always effective. Many times, many setbacks can only be overcome by experiencing them firsthand. Therefore, the result of this competition may not be all bad for the Zhanhun team.

Zhang Chenyang clearly understood this as well, so he didn't continue to show too much negativity to the three of them. He gave a wry smile before asking Guo Shiyi, "However, you should be the ones most worried right now. You've seen their strength; they're not even in the same league as us. How are you going to deal with tomorrow's match?"

His question caused all three of them to fall silent; no one could answer it.

The corridor suddenly became very quiet. They could hear several patients chatting in the distance, and several patients with IV drips slowly walking in the corridor.

After a long silence, Guo Shiyi finally answered, "We don't know either."
