Chapter 2025: Unfair Victory

As the results of the match were announced, thunderous cheers immediately erupted in the arena.

The audience present, already captivated by Li Qingzhu's beauty, were now conquered by her unyielding spirit, naturally siding with her.

After confirming her victory, the heavily injured Li Qingzhu could no longer hold on. A wave of dizziness swept over her, and she fell straight backward.

Just then, a pair of strong arms encircled her waist, preventing her from falling to the ground.

The one who acted was naturally Ye Bufan; as a doctor, he had long seen how serious her injuries were.

He first placed a Returning Heaven Pill into Li Qingzhu's mouth, then carried her down from the arena and gently laid her down, his silver needles, like a juggling act, piercing into her acupuncture points.

Although her wounds were numerous and looked incredibly terrifying, none were fatal.

Under Ye Bufan's emergency treatment, she quickly recovered most of her strength, her bleeding stopped, and she regained consciousness.

Li Qingzhu slowly opened her eyes and excitedly said, "Dean, I won!"

This was the first time she had called this man 'Dean.' From the moment of her victory, she knew what this man meant to Lingxiao Academy.

If Ye Bufan had not appeared, if her cultivation had not been enhanced by that Huangji Pill, it would have undoubtedly been her who fell at that moment; there was no suspense.

Although she had achieved victory just now, at least half of the credit absolutely belonged to him.

"It's good that you won. Leave the rest to us. You should rest well."

Ye Bufan nodded, then handed her over to Chu Lingxi and the other girls to take care of her.

With his treatment here, her injuries would recover quickly, but Cangfeng Academy was not so lucky.

Mu Zifeng fell to the ground, completely unconscious, and was carried away in a hurry by several Cangfeng Academy students.

Song Jian's expression was grim. Originally, this was all meticulously planned by him, link by link, to ensure everything was foolproof in the end.

But an accident still happened. He didn't expect Li Qingzhu to reach the Middle Stage of the Void Refining Realm, winning the first match right at the start.

No matter what, he couldn't let the other side win the second match. He turned his head to look at the Cangfeng Academy side.

His gaze met Feng Xingkong's. Although he didn't speak, the meaning of his inquiry was clear, asking who would be most suitable to send out for the next battle.

Feng Xingkong also didn't speak, his gaze falling on Feng Tianxiang.

Song Jian frowned slightly. He was very clear that Feng Tianxiang's cultivation was only at the Early Stage of the Void Refining Realm.

But Feng Xingkong was so confident, he must have his reasons, so he didn't change anything and announced again, "Next is the second match. Song Guangkai of Tianfeng Imperial Family, Feng Tianxiang of Cangfeng Academy, and Hu Yaoyao of Lingxiao Academy will compete."

After their names were called, the three came to the arena and went to Zheng Sanbao to draw lots to decide the order of the matches.

Although everything was fair and just under the supervision of this Grand Manager, without any fraud.

However, Lingxiao Academy's luck seemed to be truly not very good. Hu Yaoyao drew another red ball, and the other red ball was with Feng Tianxiang.

Feng Tianxiang fiddled with the red ball in his hand and chuckled, "Junior Sister Hu, it's our turn to act in this match."

"Less talk!"

Due to Wei Wentong, Hu Yaoyao's impression of the Feng family uncle and nephew had already reached rock bottom. She couldn't even be bothered to say another word to him and directly leaped onto the arena.

Feng Tianxiang still wore a smile on his face, standing calmly opposite her.

"Junior Sister Hu, we've known each other for quite some time, and you're not my opponent. Why don't you just surrender directly to avoid hurting our harmony?"

"You're dreaming!"

Hu Yaoyao roared in anger and raised her hand, striking a palm towards his face.

When they truly started fighting, the smile on Feng Tianxiang's face instantly disappeared. He dodged the attack with a step and then kicked Hu Yaoyao's shoulder.

The two exchanged blows, fighting. They were both at the Early Stage of the Void Refining Realm, and for a time, they were evenly matched, making it difficult to distinguish who was superior.

Below the stands, Lu Xueman said, "Xiao Fan, why do I feel like Feng Tianxiang is a bit off today?

Logically speaking, this guy shouldn't be absolutely confident against Hu Yaoyao right now, so why does he look so full of confidence?"

"That's hard to say. Perhaps they have some other trick up their sleeves."

Ye Bufan frowned slightly, his mind racing.

Although Song Jian had done everything very secretly just now, how could the glances between him and Feng Xingkong escape his eyes?

These two old foxes were clearly in cahoots, but Feng Tianxiang was obviously not the strongest one, so why send him out?

One thing was certain: neither Song Jian nor Feng Xingkong would let their side easily win two consecutive matches.

Since Feng Tianxiang was sent out under these circumstances, it indicated that he had absolute confidence in winning.

But honestly, the former number one on the Heavenly Ranking could only be described as mediocre now. Compared to Hu Yaoyao, he had no advantage, or even was at a disadvantage.

It should be known that Hu Yaoyao had indeed consumed a lot of Medicinal Pills to consolidate her cultivation recently. Although she had only recently entered the Early Stage of the Void Refining Realm, her Realm was extremely solid and stable, and she already showed a subtle trend of advancing towards the Middle Stage.

At the same time, under the tutelage of a super expert like Li Daoran, her practical combat ability had also made significant progress, incomparable to before.

In other words, in terms of strength, Hu Yaoyao had the advantage, steadily suppressing Feng Tianxiang.

And that was indeed the case. After dozens of moves, Hu Yaoyao had already begun to gain the upper hand, firmly suppressing her opponent.

After a dozen more moves, Hu Yaoyao seized an opening and slammed a palm onto the opponent's shoulder.

The force of this blow was immense. Feng Tianxiang retreated seven or eight steps before steadying himself, but there was no panic on his face; instead, he sneered triumphantly.

"Junior Sister Hu, I didn't expect your progress to be quite fast."

As he spoke, he raised a hand and popped a black Medicinal Pill into his mouth.

As the Medicinal Pill entered his mouth, his Qi suddenly surged, instantly breaking through to the Middle Stage of the Void Refining Realm, becoming several times stronger than before.

"This…"

Everyone present was stunned. No one expected him to take such a Medicinal Pill that could boost cultivation during the match.

Hu Yaoyao obviously didn't expect it either, but at this moment, Feng Tianxiang had already charged over, simultaneously unleashing a punch with endless pressure.

There was a huge gap between the Middle Stage and Early Stage of the Void Refining Realm. At this moment, this guy was like a changed person, gaining an absolute advantage as soon as he attacked.

Caught off guard, Hu Yaoyao had no time to dodge and could only meet the attack with a full-strength palm.

Fist and palm met, and with a dull thud, she was simply unable to contend with the greatly empowered Feng Tianxiang. She was sent flying off the arena like a kite with a broken string by a single punch.

"This…"

Only then did everyone come to their senses, and a clamor immediately erupted.

"Shameless! To take a Medicinal Pill in the arena…"

"Shameless! An unfair victory…"

"Good heavens, this guy is taking drugs on the spot! Can he not have any shame?"

Everyone in the arena aimed their criticism at Feng Tianxiang on the stage, and for a time, shouts of condemnation resounded.

Hu Yaoyao, climbing up from the ground, was even more enraged and shouted at Zheng Sanbao, "Grand Manager, he actually took a Medicinal Pill to boost his cultivation! This is not fair!"

But before Zheng Sanbao could speak, Song Jian from the side interjected, "A loss is a loss. What's there to say? There's no rule that prohibits using Medicinal Pills to boost cultivation during a match!"
