"Yanzi." Yu Tianheng reached out and placed his hand on Dugu Yan's shoulder, who was speaking up for him.
Dugu Yan, filled with righteous anger, paused. Meeting her lover's gentle gaze, she pursed her lips unwillingly, let out a cold snort, and crossed her arms in front of her chest.
Tang Sui observed their interaction, a hint of admiration flashing in her eyes. Su Dan Novel Network
Oh! Love is truly terrifying.
Tang San's eyes flickered as he watched this scene. When he spoke again, his tone was no longer as confrontational and had calmed down, "Yu Tianheng, although I don't know how strong the Spirit Hall Academy is, giving up before it even begins isn't your style. You don't seem like someone who would accept fate."
"Of course, I won't accept fate," Yu Tianheng's lips curved into an arc. He picked up Tang San's words, a faint fighting spirit glinting in his eyes, "But I know my own limits even better. So for the next match, Tang San, please watch closely!"
Tang San was slightly taken aback. He watched as Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan began to walk towards their team, their paths crossing.
"Brother, let's go," Tang Sui looked at Tang San. He grunted, then walked over to Tang Sui, moving side-by-side with her.
"Suisui, how is your recovery?"
He asked Tang Sui with concern.
Tang Sui didn't stand on ceremony with Tang San and shook her head in denial, "Not yet, brother. Brother, do you still have any medicinal herbs with a long cultivation period that aren't of much use to you?"
"Hmm? I do, but Suisui, do you need them?" A glint flashed in Tang San's dark eyes. Tang Sui nodded.
"Yes, I need their medicinal properties to accelerate the healing of my old injuries."
"Are poisonous ones okay too? Most of what I have are highly toxic. I have some non-toxic ones, but they aren't very old."
"It doesn't matter, as long as it's a medicinal herb, I'm not picky."
The siblings' conversation gradually faded into the distance.
.......
In the afternoon, the most anticipated match began as scheduled.
As two of the three seeded teams, the entire venue fell silent when the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy team and the Spirit Hall Academy team stepped onto the competition stage.
If the previous match between Star Luo and Shrek had provided them with ample information and experience, then this match would only surpass it.
Standing on the spectator's stand, Tang Sui surveyed the scene. The participating members of the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy team were the same familiar faces she had seen at the Star Luo Grand Arena before.
They were just stronger than they had been then.
But on the Spirit Hall Academy's side...
As both teams entered, Tang Sui immediately spotted the three individuals leading the team at the front.
The three stood tall and imposing, their looks handsome and beautiful, immediately capturing countless gazes upon their appearance.
Yet, they walked onto the duel stage as if strolling through a leisurely garden, unhurried. They were accustomed to the gazes, whether of amazement or discussion.
They were also wearing the unified white uniforms of the Spirit Hall Academy.
Six emblems symbolizing the Spirit Hall were embroidered on the team uniforms. However, only the three walking at the very front each wore a purple, book-shaped badge on their left chest.
"Look! Those are the three people rumored to have obtained the Purple Record Medals!"
"My goddess Hu Liena! Oh my god, she's so beautiful!"
Whispers from the Spirit Hall Academy side drifted to Tang Sui's ears with the wind.
Tang Sui swept her gaze across the Spirit Hall Academy's spectator stands. She saw an old acquaintance, Platinum Bishop Salas, who, upon seeing the three wearing the Purple Record Medals enter, had a proud yet disdainful smile on his lips.
Pride for the excellent trio from their academy, and contempt for the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy team.
The three took their positions at the forefront of the Spirit Hall Academy team, their expressions calm, even sporting relaxed smiles. However, no one would mistake them for young masters or ladies from noble families out for a stroll.
This was because the aura and confidence surging from them, along with their imposing presence, all indicated their vast experience in battle and the fact that they had vanquished countless opponents.
—"Heaven's Chosen."
Seeing the three of them, Tang Sui's mind instinctively conjured these four words.
The man walking at the very front was about 1.9 meters tall, with neat, short black hair that stood up like steel needles.
His complexion was calm, his long and powerful hands hanging by his sides. His gaze rested on Yu Tianheng opposite him, without contempt or provocation, nor was he on high alert. He looked at Yu Tianheng as if he were an ordinary opponent, composed and confident.
Flanking the black-haired man were a man and a woman. The man on the left had shoulder-length fiery red hair that cascaded down his back, and his eye color was a dangerous dark red.
He possessed a handsome appearance, like a sharpened sword, and the invisible aura emanating from him was like his sword's edge, carrying a sharpness that could wound people.
The only woman among the three had apricot-colored shoulder-length hair. Her appearance was striking, and she bore a slight resemblance to the man at the front.
The only thing these three had in common was the invisible and confident aura that flowed from them. However, the woman possessed a slightly different, special feeling.
'No way, no way. After overcoming Shi Nian's nightmare back then, can't you overcome the charm of a mere Soul King?'
Da Fei's sarcastic voice echoed in Tang Sui's mind.
Tang Sui's delicate face remained calm, and she replied in her heart, 'People like beautiful things. Isn't it normal to admire them? It's just a pity...'
Da Fei let out a meaninglessly hum.
'It's a pity that you are destined to be enemies.'
Fox Face, with a sly smile, finished Tang Sui's unspoken words.
