Revelation of the Way of Heaven

In the stands, Peng Chengyu stared in disbelief at the competition. As the deafening shouts erupted around her, she laughed from the bottom of her heart. But as she laughed, tears streamed down her face. Beside her, Zhang Chenyang murmured to himself with a complex expression, "They did it. They really did it."

Yes, the Qilin team did it. They kept their promise to the Zhanhun team—Qin Xiaochuan really gave Yoshida Gouki a good beating. Of course, it wasn't entirely of his own volition; he was forced into it to a large extent. Yoshida Gouki was unwilling to accept defeat. He didn't understand why he lost, so he got up from the ground again and again. In the end, he almost went crazy and tried to tackle Qin Xiaochuan to the ground, but his attacks couldn't hurt Qin Xiaochuan, so he could only take the beating.

The commentators' voices were still ringing out from the commentary booth, but their tone was noticeably more relaxed now.

"To be honest, I really didn't expect this result," Dawei said, his tone revealing his delight. Moreover, his address to Qin Xiaochuan became much more affectionate. "I still don't understand what just happened. Yoshida Gouki's full-force attack didn't cause any damage to Xiaochuan. Was it some kind of skill of Xiaochuan's?"

"I'm not entirely sure either." Xiaolong smiled helplessly. "Looking at it now, every time Yoshida hit Ogawa, a blue armor would appear on the corresponding part of Ogawa's body. This is very likely some kind of skill. Although I don't know what this skill is, I know it's definitely a powerful, no, a magical skill. Because it successfully turned the tide of the match."

As the two commentators took turns commentating, the match finally drew to a close. Without such a strong player as Yoshida Gouki, the Conquerors were no match for the Kirin. The three of them easily pulled down the opponent's flag and won the final victory.

When the referee announced that Team Qilin was the final champion, the entire stadium erupted in cheers once again. Guo Shiyi couldn't help but hug Qin Xiaochuan tightly, excitedly repeating, "We won! We really won!"

Qin Xiaochuan was genuinely happy, but remained relatively calm. "Is it necessary to be so excited?" he thought to himself. Moreover, this was the first time he had been hugged by a girl like this, and his initial excitement instantly turned into unease. He raised his hands, unsure of where to put them.

He glanced at Wei Feng beside him, who was smiling at him. The usually serious, mature, and steady student council president was now smiling like a sunny young man.

Next came the awards ceremony. As the champions of the competition, the Qilin team received an honorary trophy, and each member received a gold medal and a certificate.

Afterwards, the coaches also came down from the preparation table. Qin Xiaochuan saw that Xu Yafen's eyes were still glistening with tears of excitement. They hugged each other and then took a group photo. It took quite a while before they finally finished.

Of course, this was just what Qin Xiaochuan thought was the end; in reality, it was far from over. Just as they and Teacher Xu Yafen walked out of the competition venue, a bunch of reporters immediately surrounded them, asking meaningless questions as usual. Fortunately, Teacher Xu Yafen shielded them in front, and the four of them were able to walk with difficulty from the Jade Pot Pavilion to the school bus.

"Phew!" The four of them couldn't help but let out a big sigh of relief when they got into the car.

"Why does it feel even more tiring than competing on stage?" Guo Shiyi sighed.

Upon hearing this, they couldn't help but exchange a wry smile.

"This is just the beginning." Xu Yafen, who was sitting in front, was in an exceptionally good mood and said with a smile, "You guys have already become celebrities in the school. When you go back, many people will probably ask you for autographs."

"No way?" Upon hearing Xu Yafen's voice, Qin Xiaochuan and Guo Shiyi both looked distressed. Wei Feng was a little better, since he was used to that kind of scene.

Just as Xu Yafen had predicted, when they returned to school, people approached them for autographs as soon as they stepped off the bus, and some even wanted to take photos with them. In the end, the three of them were so scared that they hid in their dormitory for several days and dared not go out, only venturing out at night for some fresh air.

Of course, even so, they still received quite a few small "gifts," most of which were given to Qin Xiaochuan by his two roommates.

"Xiao Chuan, let me tell you, this girl is really great." Gao Xiang held a box of chocolates in his hand. He picked up a piece of chocolate and put it in his mouth while praising the person who brought them over as much as he could. "Not only is she petite and cute, but I heard she's also in the school's art troupe."

"But I don't like things that are so sweet." Qin Xiaochuan looked at him speechlessly.

"Then this one." Ma Qichao took out a beautifully decorated book. Qin Xiaochuan glanced at it and saw the four big characters "Zhimo's Poems" on the cover. "This woman is not only sweet-looking, but also very gentle. It's just that she's a sophomore, but those are minor issues. Isn't it popular for older women to date younger men these days?" Ma Qichao had his usual honest smile, but Qin Xiaochuan felt that there was something strange about his smile today.

Qin Xiaochuan ignored him, rolled his eyes at him, and then asked in confusion, "What are you two up to? These past two days you've been introducing me to this person or that person."

Hearing this, Gao Xiang dejectedly picked up another chocolate and stuffed it into his mouth, saying, "Do you think we want this? It's so tiring to deliver so many gifts for you every day, okay? If you get together with that girl, we won't have to go through all this trouble."

Qin Xiaochuan rolled his eyes at him. "If you think it's too hard, just turn it down. They can't force you, can they?"

"How can I do that!" Gao Xiang stared at him with wide eyes. "Those are all very cute girls. It's a rare opportunity to get to know them. How can I bear to refuse them? What if I offend them because of my refusal? Wouldn't I be at a huge loss?"

Uh, Qin Xiaochuan looked at the other party speechlessly, finally understanding the other party's little scheme. He wasn't complaining about the hard work at all; he clearly wanted to make the girl give up so that he would have a chance to make his move.

"How about it? For my happiness, shouldn't you pick one to meet right away?" Gao Xiang said with a smile, but Qin Xiaochuan felt that his smile was full of cunning.

"That's right, that's right." Ma Qichao chimed in from the side, his憨笑 (simple and honest smile) now turning a bit unserious.

"Do you think this is a blind date? You even want to meet up?" Qin Xiaochuan said speechlessly, too lazy to pay attention to them anymore. He was thinking about why Guo Shiyi had asked him to come see her that night, wondering what it was about.
