The man's cries for help were still reverberating through the air.
Vice-Principal Yuhua's lips twitched as he corrected himself.
"Celestial Court, Liu Qianhuan, eliminated!"
As for the man buried under the brick, there was no golden light around him, so he wasn't eliminated.
The tens of thousands of students should've been elated to see that God An hadn't been eliminated, but they couldn't bring themselves to cheer.
After all, God An had survived such a terrifying spell technique, but now he was being crushed by a brick. This was too …
"Save me …"
The man's cries became weaker and weaker.
Only when Vice-Principal Yuhua announced, "Liu Qianhuan, eliminated" did he finally give up resisting.
He knew that there was no one left to save him now.
An Lin panted weakly under the black brick.
He wanted to shrink the black brick, but he had expended all of his energy and was severely injured, so it was very difficult for him to do so.
After hearing that everyone had been eliminated, he suddenly realized that the Celestial Court had already won! If they had won, then why was he still being crushed here?
"I want to go back, hurry up and teleport me out!
"I want to go back, hurry up and teleport me out …"
He continued to yell at the top of his lungs, but there was no response …
After a long while, a voice finally sounded from the sky.
"There are only two ways to leave the competition. The first is to be defeated, thereby triggering the Defeat Judgement Seal. The second is to obtain the holy grail and obtain the final victory. There are no other ways. "
An Lin's lips twitched upon hearing this.
Defeated? Can't you see that I've already been defeated by the black brick?
Obtain the holy grail? I'm being crushed by the black brick, how the f * ck can I obtain the holy grail?!
"Alright alright alright … If you're not going to let me out, then you guys can slowly watch as the brick crushes me …" An Lin said feebly.
The tens of thousands of spectators on the Blue Sky Plaza all darkened upon hearing An Lin's words.
Did they want to see An Lin being crushed by the brick? Of course not!
However, the competition wasn't over yet, so what could they do?
Fortunately, things soon took a turn for the better. A little girl stumbled over and appeared before everyone's eyes.
Her white dress was stained with blood, and there were burn marks on her snow-white and tender face. She seemed to be in a sorry state.
She walked to the side of the black brick and kicked it away.
Rumble! He seemed to have used a lot of strength, and the black brick flew a little far.
An Lin also seemed to have suffered a second injury. He groaned in pain, but the pressure on his body was finally gone.
Under the bright white moonlight, he saw a somewhat lonely and desolate figure.
The girl smiled and picked An Lin up like a rabbit. Her clear but slightly hoarse voice rang out, "Left Protector, we've won."
An Lin looked at that plain smile and nodded. He squeezed out a smile and teased, "We relied on our cockroach-like vitality to defeat them. Sure enough, thick skin and thick flesh are the hard truth."
The girl frowned and put An Lin down. She said regretfully, "It's a pity … My little palace wasn't tough enough and the flesh wasn't thick enough. It was blown up …"
An Lin looked around to find nothing but rubble and rubble. There was no palace in sight, and he couldn't help but heave a forlorn sigh. He actually didn't have much of an attachment to that palace. However, he couldn't help but feel pity and regret when he saw that the little girl had to live in the wilderness after losing her home.
He was just about to say something to console her by telling her that she could build another house when the little girl spoke first. "Come out, palace number 24!"
Her storage ring flashed, and the ground trembled violently. Another intricate palace appeared before An Lin.
An Lin: "…"
Alright, he really didn't need to worry about this.
An Lin swallowed an Energy Replenishment Pill and walked over to put away his black brick. He then said to the little girl, "Your Majesty, you can punch me now."
The little girl looked at him with a puzzled expression. "Why?"
"Because I can only leave this place if I obtain the holy grail or if my Defeat Judgement Seal is triggered," An Lin explained with a smile.
"Oh, I see …" The little girl faltered slightly before lowering her eyes. Her voice became a little feeble as she said, "You're leaving so soon …"
An Lin nodded. "That's right. I'm still waiting to go back to receive my award. Don't hit me too hard. Don't hit me too hard either. It should be around half the strength of a normal punch …"
He felt like with his tiny body, a normal punch would definitely kill him. Half the strength was more or less enough.
To be honest, this feeling of waiting to be punched was quite nerve-wracking.
The little girl bit down on her soft, pink lower lip before picking up the intricate crown on her head. She then raised the crown and placed it in front of An Lin with her slender and fair hands.
An Lin was rooted to the spot. He blinked as he looked at the crown. "You … Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?"
"I'm the queen, how can I attack my own guardian? So, take the crown!" A faint smile appeared on the little girl's face. A light breeze tousled her hair, and her eyes were especially clear and sincere.
A certain chord in An Lin's heart was tugged, and he momentarily forgot to do anything.
This was a scene that he had never anticipated. The two of them looked at each other in silence under the moonlight.
The little girl was sincere and natural, while the man was at a loss for what to do. The crown between them shimmered with moonlight, and if it weren't for the fact that her hair was still fluttering in the wind, this scene would be like a beautiful painting, silent and meaningful.
"But … if you don't have the crown …"
"I'm still your queen even without the crown!"
"You're right … Your Majesty."
An Lin smiled as he accepted the crown with trembling hands. It was very difficult to describe what he was feeling at this moment.
On Blue Sky Plaza, tens of thousands of spectators also looked on silently at the scene unfolding on the crystal screen. Not a single person said anything.
The development of the situation was very unexpected, but for some reason, this scene was also very natural. It didn't feel out of place at all, as if everything was as it should be.
Vice-Principal Yuhua stared unblinkingly at the crystal screen, and waves of shock surged through his heart. "It's been almost a hundred years," he murmured in disbelief. "Who would have thought that someone would actually be able to do this …"
Yuhua's expression was very complex. There was shock, excitement, and even a hint of gratification.
"Congratulations, the Celestial Court has received five points!"
The voice reverberated throughout the entire Blue Sky Plaza, and it also reverberated in the air above An Lin.
No one questioned this judgment, including the Return to Void Stage mighty figures present. All of them stared at the scene unfolding before them with different expressions, and they were all at a loss for words.
This wasn't their first time participating in the Dao Exchange Conference. They had seen the Golden Cup War Demon's barbaric and powerful appearance, and they had seen her look down on everyone with disdain. However, they had never seen her so sincere and natural.
An Lin's body began to gradually transform into particles of light. He placed the crown back on the little girl's head with a faint smile on his face. "I didn't lose anything this time. Just borrowing the crown once earned me five points. Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The little girl pursed her lips, and she stared at An Lin in silence with her bright eyes.
"Oh, that's right, the Blood Skeleton also has a phone. When you're bored, you can spar with it," An Lin suddenly said.
The little girl faltered slightly, and tears welled up in her eyes. "Both of you are my guardians, don't forget about me …"
"Don't worry, I definitely won't forget!" An Lin paused momentarily before replying with a serious expression, "We'll meet again, Your Majesty."
An Lin's vision began to darken, and his consciousness began to blur. A gentle voice drifted into his ears.
"We'll meet again, Guardian An Lin."
