"Qiu Changhe, I'll remember this time." She glanced coldly at Qiu Changhe before she turned around and jumped off the stage. The coldness around her made those who admired her afraid to approach her.

"Ye Yuling must win another match if she wants to advance to the next level. With her pride, she will definitely hate Qiu Changhe this time." Xi Yun lightly said.

"That's not to say that if Qiu Changhe were to meet up with Ye Yuling again in the next round, he would voluntarily admit defeat and let Ye Yuling win. Maybe Ye Yuling would even be grateful to him." Han Xiao said with a faint smile.

"I think Qiu Changhe will most likely use this matter to threaten Ye Yuling." Xi Yun said.

"It's a pity that a cold flower was picked just like that." Han Xiao sighed.

"Why are you still reluctant to part with it?" Xiao Ke Er teased.

Seeing Gu Xuan'er's slightly changed expression, Han Xiao hurriedly grabbed onto Gu Xuan'er's waist and said: "The best is already with me, what else do I have that I can't bear to part with."

"Smooth talker." Gu Xuan'er said in a low voice, but the expression on her face clearly eased up a lot.

While the few of them chatted, the second round of the competition was taking place on the stage. The two people in the competition were at the middle stage, so they were considered weak among the junior students.

"Dang." With a mistake, the sword in the black robed man's hand fell to the ground. Another man took the opportunity to kick him down to the ground to obtain victory.

Following the direction of the voice, they saw a woman dressed in a purple brocade dress walking towards them. The woman lifted her chin high to make her fair neck seem longer, and her pair of enchanting almond eyes seemed to be able to seduce people. Her cherry red lips shone in the sunlight, and people couldn't help but want to taste that cherry red sweetness.

"Yun, where have you been all this time? I couldn't find you no matter what." The moment the woman came over, she quickly grabbed onto Xi Yun's arm and looked at him with undisguised admiration.

"Junior Qiao, I need to prepare for the student competition so I've been rather busy recently. Don't look for me often." Xi Yun couldn't help but frown when he saw Qiao Lian'er's familiar face. He silently pulled out his hand and took a step back to increase the distance between him and Qiao Lian.

Sensing that Xi Yun had obviously rejected Qiao Lian, a trace of anger flashed across his eyes. He thought that she was also a princess of the Southern Kingdom, a favorite of the little King of Nanshan. She was one of the three great beauties of the Abyss Academy.

"Senior Xi, it's also because junior Qiao doesn't know you that she doesn't know you well. It's normal for you to be busy these days." Xiao Ke Er said indifferently. She had successfully attracted Qiao Lian's rage.

"Xiao Ke Er, who do you think you are? It's not your place to interrupt when I'm talking to Yun Che." Qiao Lian looked at Xiao Ke Er and said angrily.

"Who do you think I am? Qiao Lian, you should think about who you are. Don't forget that the principal of the academy is my father, Xiao Zheng. Although it is not a privilege, just based on your status in the academy, I can crush you to death." Xiao Ke Er glared as she spoke, and the imposing manner she emitted was completely not inferior to Qiao Lian.

Qiao Lian'er actually regretted it after she said those words, but when she heard the suppressed rage in Xiao Ke Er's words, she glared fiercely at Xiao Ke Er. Her originally delicate appearance now looked extremely sinister as well.

"The third match will be between the Devil Sect's Qiao Lian'er from the West Branch and Shen Ling from the Star Glory Sect's Central District."

Hearing Jiang Zhao's voice, Qiao Lian glared fiercely at Xiao Ke Er before raising her head and walking towards the arena.

"Hmph, looking at her, isn't she afraid of her chin falling off?" Xiao Ke Er said in dissatisfaction as she gazed at Qiao Lian's figure.

"No matter how arrogant you are, you're inferior to our Miss Xiao Ke Er. It'll be your match in a bit, so you should calm down and prepare." Han Xiao said with a smile.

"I know, you should just watch the match obediently." Xiao Ke Er said to Han Xiao Fu with a grimace.

On the other side of the stage, Qiao Lian'er had just entered the arena when a woman wearing a light pink dress walked up. The woman's originally delicate appearance now appeared very ordinary in front of Qiao Lian'er.

He looked at the girl with disdain and said sarcastically, "You're so ugly and you still have the nerve to go out? With your cheap clothes and status, I just can't understand how you're going to let me compete with someone like you. That really lowers my status."

Hearing Qiao Lian's merciless ridicule of Shen Ling'er, her face immediately turned pale. Her hands could not help but clench together as the aura on her body showed signs of rising.

On the other hand, Qiao Lian didn't notice this, and she only thought about the rage she'd suffered in front of Xiao Ke Er earlier. This was a tragedy that was destined to happen to her for a while.

"Shen Ling from Star Glory Central District." Shen Ling bowed and said politely as she suppressed the anger in her heart.

"Hmph, Qiao Lian from the Southern Demon Spirit Academy." Qiao Lian scoffed coldly.

Furthermore, Qiao Lian's actions caused the dark light in Shen Ling's eyes to deepen. She stood up and quickly disappeared from where she stood with a tap of her toes.

"It's Shen Ling's Vanishing Step. She used this to provoke Shen Ling'er right from the start." Xi Yun said as he looked at Shen Ling's disappearing figure.

"Is senior familiar with Shen Ling's Vanishing Step?" Han Xiao asked curiously.

In fact, Shen Ling is the third strongest person in our Star Light Central District. Even Senior Xi Lin suffered a loss when she was using the strange movement technique, but Shen Ling's natural disposition is not to show off, and her cultivation level also has a lot of medicinal factors, so she is only famous in the Star Light Central District. The people outside do not know how powerful she is, but now that Qiao Lian has met Shen Ling'er, not only is she not on guard, she is also infuriated. Xiao Ke Er's eyes flashed with a trace of delight as she said this.

"Clap clap." Just then, two clear sounds rang out from the arena. Han Xiao and the rest turned their heads and saw that there were two red handprints on Qiao Lian's white face, and the right side of her face was slightly swollen. There was a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth.

"Ah!" With one hand, she brandished a long sword and waved it around her body, removing her noble disguise leaving only a shrewd woman behind. Seeing Qiao Lian like this, for the first time, Han Xiao felt that the three beauties chosen by the Ou Ming Academy were all because of their looks.

"Sssii." A pink figure flashed past Qiao Lian`er, and a gaping hole that was an inch long appeared on her back.

"Ah, you bitch. If you're capable, come out and fight me face to face." Qiao Lian`er shouted loudly as she held her sword, completely unaware of the difference between her and Shen Ling.

"So what if I am facing you?" Just as she finished speaking, Qiao Lian saw Shen Ling standing not more than two meters away from her. The long sword in her hand was thrust towards Shen Ling without hesitation. However, when the distance between her and Shen Ling was only 20 centimeters, she was directly caught by Shen Ling.

"You dare to act so arrogantly with just a late stage Revealing Pill cultivation. I really don't know where your ability lies." After saying that, Shen Ling directly snatched the sword from Qiao Lian's hands, and with her other hand, she slapped Qiao Lian three times.

This time, he was closer to Qiao Lian'er and Shen Ling'er exerted her strength. After three slaps, Qiao Lian's face swelled up, and the blood vessels on the right side of her face were exposed. Qiao Lian'er no longer had the charm and beauty from earlier, she looked like an ugly pig head.

Han Xiao's eyelids jumped when he saw a beautiful girl being beaten up into a pig head. Such a strong hand would leave traces of blood vessels on her face even if it was swollen. Although she didn't kill Qiao Lian'er, Shen Ling's move was more thorough than when she had killed Qiao Ling'Er.

"Bitch, you bitch." At this moment, Qiao Lian'er no longer had the ability to resist. She could only utter these words. However, these words made Shen Ling's eyes turn colder.

"I think I'm the one who was too lenient. From today onwards, Qiao Lian`er, you will no longer be one of the three great beauties of the Abyss Academy." After saying that, a silver light flashed across Shen Ling'Er's hands and she slashed at Qiao Lian'er's face.

"Ah!" A piercing pain came from her face. Qiao Lian touched her face and felt a moist sensation as she lowered her head. She saw that her hands were covered with blood, which was coming from her own face.

Thinking about the additional scar on her beautiful face and the fact that Xi Yun would be even further away from her, a surge of hot blood rushed through Qiao Lian's heart. Her vision turned dark and she fell onto the stage, unconscious.

Seeing that Qiao Lian'er clearly no longer had the strength to continue fighting, Jiang Zhao sighed and said, "I declare the victor of the third match to be Shen Ling from Star Glory Central Academy."
