Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"What's wrong with Miss Zhong?"

Seeing Lu Feng advance with an easy victory, Ren Lingyun, who was watching the match, was equally astonished. "How come I've never seen Miss Zhong like this before at Falling Star Academy...!"

Although he was once a disciple of Falling Star Academy and one of the elites of the East Academy, he did not know anything about Zhong Lingyu's background, and now he had no idea what changes had happened to her.

"The bleeding has stopped...!"

Just as Qin Xuanzhong announced the outcome of the first match of the semi-finals, the bloodstains on Zhong Lingyu's left arm finally stopped slowly, and her pretty face gradually regained its composure, and her body stopped trembling.

"Huff...! Huff...!"

As Zhong Lingyu exhaled a light breath, she slowly stood up and left the arena without looking back, seemingly unconcerned about her defeat, her mind preoccupied with other matters.

"Miss Zhong, may I ask what brings you here...?"

As soon as they returned to the Northern Wei army, before Zhong Lingyu could even speak, the leader Zhao Kuangyi hurriedly came over, looking on nervously as he probed, seemingly also puzzled about what had happened to her.

"sorry...."

Zhong Lingyu glanced at Zhao Kuangyi, whose expression was filled with trepidation, her tone remaining cool before she shook her head slightly, "I lost, and I failed to fulfill our promise..."

At this point, Zhong Lingyu shifted her gaze, looking again at Lu Feng, who had unexpectedly won not far away. A complex expression appeared in her beautiful eyes. "This person's strength is no weaker than mine. Even without the unexpected event, it would have been difficult for me to win..."

"Uh, Miss Zhong, you're too kind...!"

Faced with Zhong Lingyu's apology, Zhao Kuangyi quickly cupped his hands in greeting and said in a comforting tone, "Our Northern Wei team's ability to reach the top four in this year's Four Kingdoms Martial Arts Tournament is inseparable from Miss Zhong's assistance. I hope Miss Zhong will not blame herself and should prioritize her health right now...!"

Although the Northern Wei team only made it to the semi-finals of this Four Kingdoms Martial Arts Tournament and failed to advance to the finals, their overall performance was still quite good, at least much better than the Ancient Buddha Sect of the Southern Yue Kingdom and the Yunfu Sect of the Western Qin Kingdom.

Moreover, Zhong Lingyu is not only a top prodigy from Luoxing Academy, but also the beloved adopted daughter of the former "White-browed Martial Saint" Chu Tianhong. Zhao Kuangyi is merely a royal uncle of the Northern Wei Kingdom, so naturally he dares not complain about the former in the slightest!

"call....!"

Ignoring Zhao Kuangyi's flattery, Zhong Lingyu slowly exhaled a few breaths, then her gaze fell again on Lu Feng not far away. A strange glint flashed in her beautiful eyes, and at the same time, her jade-like hands clenched tightly beneath her sleeves. "Lu Feng..."

"I'll remember you...!"

...

Meanwhile, within the Dongyun Kingdom's ranks

"Lu Feng, well done!"

"Hehehe! He truly is the man I've set my sights on!"

Seeing Lu Feng return victorious, Ren Xuanfei couldn't wait any longer and rushed over. She then raised her hand and patted him hard on the shoulder, her tone full of pride and satisfaction, "I knew you would win, hahaha!"

"And another thing! Although Zhong Lingyu seems very powerful, and she's also from Falling Star Academy, she's ultimately no match for you when it comes to a real fight!"

As Ren Xuanfei spoke excitedly, she couldn't help but pound Lu Feng's chest repeatedly with her small fists. It seemed that seeing the other party advance to the finals made her a million times happier than if she had advanced herself!

"Stop, stop, stop...!"

"How could you be so rough with yourself, you little brat...!"

Faced with Ren Xuanfei's fist attack, Lu Feng also raised his hand to interrupt, then couldn't help but complain, "Can't you see that your husband is injured? Are you planning to murder your husband?"

"Tch! Don't give me that! Do you really think I'm stupid?"

Before the former could finish speaking, Ren Xuanfei snorted, then crossed her arms and curled her lip in disdain, "Do you think I don't know your capabilities? How could a mere Zhong Lingyu possibly hurt you?"

"Besides, if you're really that easy to kill, then I'll accept it! I'll just live a life of widowhood alone...!"

Ren Xuanfei remained nonchalant, while Lu Feng frowned slightly, then raised his hand and gave her a sharp rap on the forehead. "Damn it! You little brat, are you cursing me to die?"

"It seems I really need to teach you a lesson, otherwise it will be difficult to restore my authority as your husband...!"

"You bastard Lu Feng! How dare you hit me...!"

After being flicked on the forehead by Lu Feng, Ren Xuanfei's pretty face flushed slightly, and her competitive spirit seemed to surge up as well. She immediately pounced on him again, yelling, "You stinky Lu Feng, you damn Lu Feng! Don't run away...!"

"Stop right there, you!"

Ren Xuanfei chased after Lu Feng relentlessly, muttering curses under her breath, like a hen whose eggs had been stolen, her face flushed with anger.

"Hey, these two guys..."

"Father's decision back then was indeed the right one..."

Seeing Ren Xuanfei and Lu Feng chasing each other and flirting like a pair of bickering lovers, Ren Lingyun shook his head repeatedly, a helpless smile on his face.

"Next match, the second game of the semi-finals, is Heaven and Earth Decree versus Black and Yellow Decree!"

Just as Lu Feng and Ren Xuanfei were playfully bickering, Qin Xuanzhong's cold voice rang out again from the side, "The competition begins...!"

"Alright, Consort Xuan, stop fooling around!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng also stopped in his tracks, then grabbed Ren Xuanfei's small hand, his face regaining its seriousness. "The next competition is about to begin, and His Highness the Crown Prince's opponent is that bastard Gongsun Jian. He should not be underestimated..."

"Brother, you must persevere!"

"Let these Tai Chi Sword Sect disciples see the might of our Dongyun Kingdom!"

Seeing this, Ren Xuanfei stopped her playful fight and turned to look at Ren Lingyun beside her. Her face was full of hope, and she obviously hoped that he could make it to the finals and bring glory to Dongyun Kingdom!

"Fei'er, Brother Lu, I will certainly live up to your expectations!"

Taking a deep breath, Ren Lingyun bowed slightly to the two men, then leaped into the air and landed steadily in the center of the opposite arena, clearly having prepared for this battle.

"Ren Lingyun, it seems you still lack self-awareness..."

Seeing Ren Lingyun leap onto the arena, Gongsun Jian merely raised his eyelids and cast a contemptuous glance. At this moment, he still looked arrogant and did not seem to take the former seriously.

"May I ask what Fellow Daoist Gongsun means by this?"

Faced with Gongsun Jian's contempt, Ren Lingyun also frowned slightly, but did not lash out on the spot.

"Heh, if I were you, I'd just obediently admit defeat right now, instead of being stupid enough to go on stage and court death...!"

With a slight, mocking smirk playing on his lips, Gongsun Jian stood with his hands behind his back, his face full of arrogance, seemingly certain of victory in this battle!

"Fellow Daoist Gongsun, the outcome of this battle is still uncertain. Please enlighten us..."

Forcibly suppressing the nameless anger in his heart, Ren Lingyun slowly took a deep breath, then cupped his hands in a gesture of respect, clearly not going to admit defeat or give up just because of Gongsun Jian's threats.

"Look! Look! The second match of the semi-finals has begun!"

"On one side is Ren Lingyun, the Crown Prince of Dongyun Kingdom, and on the other is Gongsun Jian, the senior disciple of the Taiji Sword Sect. This battle is going to be quite a show...!"

"I wonder who will advance to the final round..."

"Nonsense! Is there even a question? It's definitely Gongsun Jian! Not only does Gongsun Jian possess the Earth-grade spiritual body 'Absolute Sword Void Body,' but his cultivation has also reached the second level of the Yuanhai Realm. His strength is so great that he can absolutely be called the number one in this year's Four Kingdoms Martial Arts Tournament...!"

"That's not necessarily true! Ren Lingyun isn't someone to be trifled with either. Besides, he's not only the current Crown Prince of Dongyun Kingdom, but he was also a student of Luoxing Academy in the past. I'm afraid he won't be so easy to deal with...!"

Seeing the tense atmosphere on the arena, with a great battle about to break out, the geniuses from various countries watching from the sidelines also cast curious glances, and for a moment they couldn't help but discuss it, creating a heated atmosphere!

After all, neither Gongsun Jian, the senior disciple of the Taiji Sword Sect, nor Ren Lingyun, the crown prince of Dongyun Kingdom, were ordinary people!

The current confrontation between the two has naturally become a highly anticipated battle!
