The comments said I was deeply affectionate, I just added points by using an alternate account.

She raised her hand and gently clenched it against the backdrop of the pouring rain.

"end."

The whole world fell silent.

All the raindrops stopped in mid-air, as if time had been paused.

Bai Huanran felt his connection with all the water elements being forcibly severed by an irresistible will.

He became a prisoner surrounded by his own power, isolated and helpless.

"I lost."

Bai Huanran looked at the figure standing in the still rain and spoke frankly.

The gap was much larger than he had imagined.

Then there's no need to continue this futile struggle.

"The winner is Su Yuehe from Huaqing Academy."

Amidst the unquestionable gazes of the audience, Su Yuehe won the first match.

After a short break, it was finally time for the last match.

Chen Guan walked onto the field.

Across from him, Kaga Shizuko also slowly stood up. Barefoot, she walked step by step into the center of the arena, allowing Chen Guan to take another look.

"The second match of the semifinals begins."

As soon as the referee's voice fell, Kaga Shizuko's figure disappeared from the spot.

It wasn't moving at high speed; it was truly, completely evaporating from everyone's perception, as if it had never existed.

"Oh? Ninja technique, invisibility jutsu?"

In Chen Guan's mind, Baal's voice was mocking: "This kind of primitive illusion can only fool mortals."

Chen Guan stood motionless, carrying a sickle, and even looked up at the sky with boredom.

An uproar erupted in the audience, everyone craning their necks, trying to find Kaga Shizuko, but neither the naked eye nor the high-speed camera could find her.

She is like a drop of water merging into the ocean, leaving no trace.

Inside the VIP box, the third commentator remarked, "She's got something special. Her presence has completely vanished. This is about minimizing her own presence and blending into the environment—top-tier assassination skills."

When it came to her old profession, she started to find it interesting.

Inside the arena, the next second, murderous intent erupted.

Sixteen figures of Kaga Shizuko appeared simultaneously from all directions of the arena, each exuding an aura of authenticity, wielding poisoned kunai, and silently stabbing at Chen Guan's vital points from sixteen extremely tricky angles.

Shadow Clone Technique.

It's hard to tell what's real and what's fake; reality and illusion coexist.

The real killing move is hidden among these sixteen figures.

Faced with this seemingly hopeless situation, Chen Guan remained unconcerned.

Hearing what Baal had said earlier, he thought it was something profound, but it turned out to be just an illusion.

Since that's the case, there's no need to continue watching.

An invisible ripple swept across the entire area centered on him. The sixteen sharp assassins didn't even have time to utter a cry of pain before they turned into wisps of black smoke and vanished the instant they touched the ripple.

Only one figure remained, the most real one, staggering back several steps before barely managing to regain his balance.

Kaga Shizuko's face was pale, a line of blood seeped from the corner of her mouth, her hand holding the kunai was trembling slightly, and her eyes were filled with unprecedented horror.

She knew Chen Guanqiang was unmatched in physical skills and defense, but her illusion technique was so easily broken by the person in front of her.

Does this person have no weaknesses?

"Too weak."

Chen Guan's voice rang in her ears.

Kaga Shizuko bit her lip hard, a resolute look flashing in her eyes.

She quickly formed hand seals, and an ominous, blood-red aura rose from her body.

"Secret Technique, Blood Shadow Curse Kill."

Her body began to become ethereal, transforming into a twisted, blood-red shadow. Ignoring the distance in space, she appeared directly behind Chen Guan, the short knife in her hand turning into a line of blood as she stabbed towards his back.

The crimson shadow pierced through the barrier of space, almost touching the back of Chen Guan's head.

The next instant, his body twisted at an incredible angle.

Chen Guan raised his leg, and with a crisp crack, the blade snapped in two, sending Kaga Shizuko flying with the blade.

With a thud, her body crashed heavily outside the arena, the two broken swords falling beside her, and she herself had already lost consciousness.

The audience was quiet. No one was surprised that Chen Guan would win, but no one expected it to be in such a violent way, kicking someone out of the stadium and knocking him unconscious.

"The winner is Chen Guan from Huaqing Academy."

The referee faithfully performed his duties, and the silence in the stands was broken only after he finished speaking.

On the podium, An Changsong's voice resounded throughout the venue through the broadcast system, drowning out the whispers and noises of the audience.

"The semi-finals are all over."

"Tomorrow, the final showdown of this year's college exchange competition will be held."

"At 9:00 AM, the third-place match will be held, between Bai Huanran from Taipei Academy and Kaga Shizuko from Kamiya Academy."

"The final championship battle will take place at 10:00 AM."

An Changsong paused for a moment, then pronounced the last name almost word by word.

"Huaqing College, Su Yuehe."

"A battle against each other."

"Huaqing Academy, Chen Guan."

Ren Ping, the principal of Huaqing College, listened to An Changsong's announcement with deep emotion.

Another civil war in Huaqing, isn't this a happy kind of trouble?

"Oh dear, they're both my flesh and blood, what am I supposed to do? What am I supposed to do?"

In front of the other principals, Ren Ping pretended to sigh, but the smile he couldn't suppress betrayed his true feelings.

Principal, I'm really going to get a promotion this time.

The other three school principals looked at him as if they wanted to kill him; they had seen Versailles before, but never anything like this.

From below the stage, Qin Wu watched the principal on stage beaming with joy and felt helpless.

Chen Guan followed his gaze and saw the smug principal above and the other school principals with grim faces.

"Senior Qin Wu, I remember there's a senior at our school named Liu Ruyan, right? Why have I never seen her?"

Chen Guan asked curiously. He hadn't paid much attention to this question before, but now that all the senior students were here, they still hadn't seen the legendary Liu Ruyan.

He was quite interested in this legendary Emperor Ruyan.

"This..." Qin Wu looked embarrassed, unsure of where to begin.

"Actually, there was never any Liu Ruyan from the beginning." An Changqing picked up the topic: "The so-called Liu Ruyan was actually the principal in disguise all along."

Chen Guan: ?

Seeing Chen Guan's puzzled expression, Qin Wu became even more embarrassed; he found it difficult to bring up such a matter.

An Changqing came to the rescue again: "In the principal's words, privileges are for students to see, not for students to use."

"As you know, the privileges of being number one in our school are outrageous. Those outrageous privileges are just the principal's way of motivating students, which is why he created this ghost senior who repeats a year every year."
