Reborn as the Candle Dragon, I became the strongest academy guardian beast.

Challenger seat.

As soon as Xu Liyue returned to her seat, she received thumbs-up from Lin Fan and Chu Yunfeng.

One looked at the other with approval, while the other wore a simple, honest smile.

it is more than words.

Xu Liyue smiled faintly and took the space sphere from Lin Fan's hand.

She placed the space sphere on her snow-white legs, took out a hair tie, and retied her loose hair.

"The match just now was very exciting." Su Chen's voice came from inside the space sphere.

"but……"

Changing the subject, Su Chen said, "You are very smart, with talent far exceeding that of ordinary people, but precisely because of this, you must not rely on it too much."

"After all, you can't have an epiphany every time."

"In life-or-death situations, only skills honed through countless trials will never betray you."

Su Chen glanced at Lin Fan and said, "You can learn from Lin Fan in this regard."

The world is never short of geniuses.

What's truly lacking are those talented geniuses who continue to work hard and survive to the end.

"Thank you, teacher, I understand!"

Xu Liyue picked up the spatial sphere, nodded seriously, and kept Su Chen's instructions firmly in mind.

As expected of a teacher!

She felt she learned a lot from each conversation.

There's still some time before the next match.

Xu Liyue sat in her seat, recalling the details of the battle just now, and was planning to further improve the content of the "Fire Phoenix Body Tempering Technique".

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her.

Xu Liyue looked up and saw a man with short, gray-silver hair, a cynical smile on his face, his gaze brazenly sweeping over her.

Meeting Xu Liyue's gaze, Lu Shaoming's lips curled into a slight smile, his tone flippant and confident: "Beautiful lady, I watched the match just now, and I'm quite interested in you. I'm a VIP here, we can go to the VIP room on the third floor for a proper chat..."

Before Lu Shaoming could finish speaking, Xu Liyue interrupted him coldly, "Sorry, I'm not interested."

Lu Shaoming's expression froze.

He could hardly remember the last time he had been rejected by a woman.

Soon, a confident smile returned to Lu Shaoming's face, showing no intention of leaving: "Beautiful lady, you may not know me, my name is Lu Shaoming, I come from a martial arts family, the Lu family..."

"Who you are is none of my business." Xu Liyue frowned slightly, her eyes turning colder. "I've already warned you. If you don't leave, don't blame me for being impolite."

Lu Shaoming was about to say something more.

Lin Fan stood up and stood in front of Xu Liyue.

Having seen countless self-righteous fools, Lin Fan knew that it was pointless to waste words on such people.

Therefore, he only said one simple word to Lu Shaoming: "Get lost."

"What did you say?" Lu Shaoming's face darkened instantly.

From childhood to adulthood, everyone who knew his identity treated him with utmost respect, wishing they could worship him like an emperor.

No one has ever dared to say such a thing to his face before!

This kid is practically asking for death!

"The break is over. The second match is about to begin. Audience members and participating martial artists, please return to your seats as soon as possible!"

Just then, the referee's voice rang out in the arena.

Lu Shaoming suppressed his anger and glared fiercely at Lin Fan.

"Kid, we'll see."

After saying that, Lu Shaoming turned and left with an extremely gloomy expression.

He wanted to teach this arrogant brat a lesson.

What will happen if you dare to anger Lu Shaoming!

……

The second match began with the referee standing in the center of the ring, waiting for the contestants to come up.

However, the challenger's seat remained silent.

A full minute passed, and no one stepped onto the stage.

Everyone knows the rules of the tournament: the last person standing wins.

In other words, it makes no difference whether you are the first or the last to go up.

The reason Xu Mang dared to be the first to step onto the stage in the previous round was because he had absolute confidence in his own abilities.

Otherwise, going on stage earlier means facing more opponents, gradually depleting one's stamina, and potentially allowing later opponents to easily take advantage of the situation.

"Is nobody here?"

The referee looked around, feeling troubled.

A figure stood up.

It was Lin Fan.

The boy walked calmly and steadily toward the arena.

"Another student?" A murmur rippled through the audience.

After Xu Liyue's performance, no one dared to underestimate the young man in front of them this time.

Even so, most people still don't believe that a young man with little practical experience could play all ten games and stand until the end.

"What a handsome little brother! Let your older sister have a go at you!"

A seductive voice rang out, followed by a woman with a hot figure, wearing a sexy black low-cut dress, swaying her waist and walking onto the ring in slender high heels.

"It's Liu Ruyan!"

"This is troublesome... This guy is probably in for a rough time."

A murmur of discussion arose from the audience.

Like Xu Mang, Liu Ruyan is also a well-known fighter who has won many matches at Yunlan Martial Arts Hall.

Many people who frequently watch competitions know that her martial soul is called "Enchanting Rose," which can charm opponents without them even realizing it.

The triggering condition remains unknown. Some say it's her voice, others say it's the scent of her perfume; in short, it's impossible to guard against.

Those who understand Liu Ruyan's martial soul are fine; as long as they take precautions in advance and have strong willpower, they can quickly break free even if they are charmed.

But if you don't know, and you're at that young, impetuous age...

As the saying goes, even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman, so losing isn't shameful.

On the arena.

Liu Ruyan stood opposite Lin Fan, her eyes, seemingly brimming with spring water, scanning him up and down. Her red lips parted slightly, and she smiled alluringly: "Little brother, this must be your first time here, right?"

"Don't be nervous. Although I'm very beautiful, you don't have to be gentle with me. Use all your strength."

"It's okay, my body can handle it~"

Many audience members were aroused by Liu Ruyan's words.

Liu Ruyan, this enchanting woman, is beautiful and scantily clad, with a charming voice that can steal your soul.

"Ugh, that wicked woman, she's about to start flirting with Xiao Chu Nan again."

"I like to tell the truth; if it were me, I definitely wouldn't be able to stand it."

"Don't mess with me, my brother just had surgery on his foreskin yesterday..."

However, Lin Fan's reaction was unusually calm; he simply nodded and said, "That suits me perfectly."

Even if Liu Ruyan didn't say anything, he still planned to do it.

Giving it your all is the best way to respect your opponent!

Both sides are in position.

The referee cleared his throat and said in a deep voice, "The match begins!"

The moment he heard the sound, Lin Fan slammed his taut right foot down, and his entire body shot out like a cannonball, so fast that he almost disappeared from the spot.

"Huh?"

Liu Ruyan blinked.

Lin Fan's speed was so fast that she didn't have time to react at all!

Just then, Lin Fan's figure appeared before her like a ghost.

The Eight Desolations Battle Technique circulated wildly through his meridians. Lin Fan's right leg, accompanied by a whistling wind, struck Liu Ruyan's abdomen with tremendous force, leaving no room for retreat.

"Bang!"

Liu Ruyan's charming smile instantly turned into an expression of disbelief. Before she could even let out a scream, she slid across half the arena and crashed heavily onto the cold ground outside.
