After hearing Lü Qiufeng’s words, everyone was filled with righteous indignation, shouting that Wang Yuanqing must pay the price.
Lin Miao waved her hand:
“Don’t rush, everyone. We won’t let this person get off so easily.”
“But what you need to do now is finish the remaining matches with all your heart.”
“Leave these matters to us.”
“Go on, go prepare for your matches!”
“To stand tall, you need to achieve results that are strong enough.”
“As long as we can successfully win the championship, they will have nothing to say.”
Those who reached this competition were naturally not fools.
They also knew that anger wouldn’t solve anything, and soon they all calmed down.
“Let’s go, it’s time to compete!”
Led by Lin Ran, the four people who still had matches to play quickly headed to the preparation area.
…
With Luo Qingyan and the other two in the upper bracket, the championship was almost a guarantee.
Especially since the only contestant not from Yan University was eliminated by Luo Qingyan right at the start.
The Holy Angel talent truly lived up to its top-tier SSS-grade rating, combined with the Bloodline Angel Soul that perfectly matched the Holy Angel, making her a powerhouse against anyone.
In the internal match between Bai Ziye and Lan Ruoqiu, Lan Ruoqiu emerged victorious.
This seemingly ordinary girl possessed astonishing perseverance. After Bai Ziye gained the advantage early on, she stubbornly relied on the continuous accumulation of residual gray bones to turn the tide and win.
It had to be said that her talent was quite formidable in prolonged battles.
Especially in arena matches where players were not allowed to leave the stage, it made her, who could endlessly increase the number of gray bones on the ground, even more formidable.
As for the lower bracket, it turned into Lin Ran’s personal show.
Su Chen and Jiang Siqi, who were the strongest in one-on-one combat, had already been defeated, leaving no one to stop Lin Ran.
Lin Ran effortlessly swept through, defeating two opponents in a row, and advanced to the finals.
And the person who successfully met him in the finals was, as expected, Luo Qingyan.
Luo Qingyan had fought her way to the finals without even using her second talent, the Fallen Angel.
Lin Ran had initially thought he would have to play around with Luo Qingyan again. However, on the stage, Luo Qingyan suddenly stuck out her tongue and raised her small hand:
“I concede!”
With that, she cheerfully jumped off the stage.
Good heavens!
Luo Qingyan’s sudden forfeiture severely disrupted the plans of the Xiangchu event organizers.
They had been anticipating an extremely exciting final match, which would have been explosive for broadcast.
But they never expected the match to end before it even began…
Even if the final was an internal match between members of Yan University, they should have at least put on a show!
With this move, how would they explain the grand finale they had been promoting for so long?
For a moment, the event organizers were stunned…
But this was something beyond their control, leaving them helpless. They could only grudgingly accept it.
Thus, the individual competition of the freshman exchange tournament concluded in this rather amusing manner.
The champions, runners-up, top four, and top eight were all from Yan University.
There was no need to meticulously calculate the points; it was already clear that the overall championship of the individual competition would belong to Yan University.
The spectators, looking at the messy aftermath, couldn’t help but click their tongues in regret.
They had actually wanted to see Lin Ran battle Luo Qingyan.
Although few people believed Luo Qingyan could win, having a match to watch was always good.
After all, Lin Ran’s position as captain of the Yan University team was sufficient proof of his unshakeable standing within the team.
Judging by their performances in the matches, Lin Ran also appeared to be much stronger than Luo Qingyan.
They were merely curious about how far Luo Qingyan could push Lin Ran.
To the fourth stage? The fifth stage? People discussed it, but none could convince the others.
“We are the champions!”
Lin Ran, leading everyone, carried the championship trophy for the individual competition back to the Yan University camp.
Lin Miao smiled happily:
“That’s great! We’ve given certain people a good slap in the face!”
“It’s a shame that Wang Yuanqing hid away with his tail between his legs after commentating on Xiao Ran’s match. Otherwise, we definitely would have mocked him mercilessly!”
Lü Qiufeng also nodded and said with a smile:
“Let’s go. The team competition doesn’t start until tomorrow, and we still have a day and a half to rest.”
“Moreover, our individual points from the individual competition are already enough to guarantee us a spot in the top eight.”
“We can skip all those boring early matches against weaker opponents, which is quite comfortable.”
“We’ll wait for our opponents to wear themselves out, observe the tigers fight, and aim to secure the team competition championship as well!”
“Let’s go! I’m treating you all to a big meal!”
…
Night.
After having dinner with his teammates and Lü Qiufeng, Lin Ran and Luo Qingyan returned to the villa.
After washing up, Luo Qingyan lay obediently on the bed, waiting for Lin Ran’s affection.
To enhance the mood, she had even transformed into her Fallen Angel state and put on a specially made, exquisite nightgown.
However, Lin Ran seemed preoccupied, leaning by the window and quietly gazing at the bright moon, lost in thought.
Luo Qingyan, displeased, patted the bedding and said:
“Hey! Is the moon that beautiful?”
Lin Ran acted as if he hadn’t heard, maintaining his usual composed demeanor.
Luo Qingyan finally couldn’t stand it anymore. She rolled off the large bed, tiptoed behind Lin Ran, and put him in a chokehold around his neck.
Feeling the graceful figure behind him, Lin Ran finally turned his head, looking at Luo Qingyan with a helpless expression.
His gaze, however, almost made him get a nosebleed.
Luo Qingyan was wearing a black silk nightgown, which semi-transparently concealed her beautiful physique.
Her wine-red eyes, transformed due to her Fallen Angel state, held boundless allure, and her delicate, tempting red lips seemed ready to be plucked…
Furthermore, due to their peculiar current positioning, Lin Ran only needed to gently push backward to embrace her slender body and do as he pleased.
Lin Ran was almost overcome with desire.
However, remembering that there was important business to attend to, Lin Ran could only forcefully suppress his desires and quickly closed his eyes:
“Stop messing around, go put on a jacket…”
“We might have a guest coming over soon!”
Luo Qingyan blinked in surprise and, with a pout, wrapped a jacket around herself, asking warily:
“Who? You didn’t invite Jiang Siqi over for a poetry gathering, did you?”
Lin Ran almost spat out a mouthful of blood:
“What on earth are you thinking with that little head of yours!”
“Do you remember Su Chen’s demonic sword, Sky Devourer?”
“I took a portion of the evil soul within it. It will definitely come looking for me.”
“We can sense each other, so he should be nearby already.”
