After the Living Spirit Gate opened, no roars could be heard. However, the air around the ring seemed to have been ignited, instantly becoming scorching hot.
Following that, a golden python that was dozens of feet long slithered out.
"Heavens, I've seen this thing before. It's a Golden Qilin Fire Python, one of the most powerful Class 7 Magical Beasts …"
"A Golden Qilin Fire Python is as powerful as a Thunder Leopard …"
"This young lady is so powerful. The White Tiger Academy is finished …"
Lei Wanjun's expression became extremely solemn. As a mid Body Integration cultivator, there was no way he wouldn't recognize a Golden Qilin Fire Python.
It was one of the most powerful Class 7 Magical Beasts. It was not something that he could fight against at his current level.
What made him even more solemn was that there wasn't just one Golden Qilin Fire Python. There were two of them, one in front and one behind him.
Lei Wanjun's heart had completely sunk. If there was only one Golden Qilin Fire Python, he might be able to fight to the death. However, there were two of them. He had no chance of winning.
Just as he was hesitating about whether to admit defeat, the two Golden Qilin Fire Pythons opened their mouths wide. Monstrous flames instantly engulfed the entire ring.
As Class 7 Magical Beasts, the flames they spat out were not as powerful as natural flames, but they were not too far off.
Lei Wanjun had already pushed his protective qi to the limit, but he still felt the heat was unbearable. Even the hair on his head was burning.
"I admit defeat, I admit defeat!"
He could no longer care about anything else. He could only lower his head and admit defeat.
The little demoness shook her head and said, "How boring. Admitting defeat so quickly. I haven't even sprinkled chili powder yet!"
With that, she waved her hand. The two Golden Qilin Fire Pythons stopped and returned to the Living Spirit Gate.
By now, Lei Wanjun was in a terrible state. His hair, which had been so cool a moment ago, had been completely burned off.
Originally, everyone from the White Tiger Academy wore a set of white robes. However, they were now charred black. Coupled with the soot on their cheeks, they looked like roasted sparrows.
He no longer had the face to stand on the ring. He jumped off and returned to his side.
The referee announced to the audience, "Black Tortoise Academy wins this match!"
Everyone present was shocked by this result. If defeating the Vermillion Bird Academy could be said to be a fluke, then defeating the White Tiger Academy in such a clean and tidy manner was absolutely not something that could be explained as a fluke. It could only be said that the other party's strength was exceedingly strong.
In his previous impression, the Vermilion Bird Academy was weak to the point where it couldn't be any weaker, a weak chicken that could be stepped on by anyone. Who would have thought that this year's Vermilion Bird Academy would actually become so powerful.
Luo Dongqing was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth. She proudly said to Song Tian, "Old Song, did you see that? This is absolute power. "
No matter how the result of the competition was, it still had to continue. The second match, the Vermillion Bird Academy against the Azure Dragon Academy.
In this match, the strength of the two teams was similar. The battle was extremely fierce, and they fought for a full five rounds.
In the end, the Vermillion Bird Academy relied on their home advantage to win the match with a score of 3: 2, finally saving some face for the host team.
However, as the champion of the previous tournament, the Azure Dragon Academy could be said to have been thoroughly disgraced, as they had not even managed to obtain a single point.
According to the schedule of the competition, there would be no rest after this. The third round of the competition would be carried out directly.
In the previous two matches, other than the Black Tortoise Academy, the other academies more or less had their members injured.
However, every academy had brought along two substitutes. This was the time when the importance of the substitutes was reflected.
After watching the Vermillion Bird Academy's match, everyone's attention once again gathered on the Black Tortoise Academy.
Everyone wanted to see if the Black Tortoise Academy would be able to stage a comeback and really win the championship this time around.
As soon as the competition started, Qin Haodong was the first to step onto the ring, looking at the Azure Dragon Academy with a smile on his face.
Li Mengyao's expression was already extremely ugly. The reason why she had previously proposed to change the order of the competition was for an unknown purpose.
If the Black Tortoise Academy had suffered heavy losses in the previous two matches, she could completely violate the promise that she had previously made and lead the Azure Dragon Academy to defeat the Black Tortoise Academy.
However, the current situation was completely the opposite of what she had expected. After two matches, the Black Tortoise Academy had won beautifully. It could even be said that there was no blood on their blades, and no one was injured.
Now that things had come to this, it was useless even if she wanted to deny it. With the current remnants of their team, they simply did not have the strength to fight against the Black Tortoise Academy. Fighting another match would only be asking to be humiliated.
Helplessly, she stood up and shouted to the referee on the stage, "The Azure Dragon Academy admits defeat for this round's competition!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the audience at the scene was shocked. Admitting defeat on the spot before the match had even started was the first time in the Four Nations Exchange Tournament.
Generally speaking, no matter how weak one was, they still had to maintain their integrity. For example, the Black Tortoise Academy from before.
Although they knew that they were no match for their opponent in every match, they still fought until the last moment. This was related to the integrity of an academy.
The eldest prince Liu Hong said, "Second Princess, isn't it against the rules to admit defeat on the spot without even fighting a single match?"
Liu Xiaofu's originally cold expression also became extremely ugly. At this moment, she had already realized something.
The Azure Dragon Academy seemed to have already known that this year's Black Tortoise Academy was not normal, so they deliberately changed the order of the competition, causing them to lose the first match so badly.
In other words, they had been completely tricked by the Azure Dragon Academy!
Li Mengyao said expressionlessly, "Your Highness, we have too many injured members on our side. We no longer have the ability to fight, so we can only admit defeat."
Admitting defeat on the spot was also allowed by the rules, so Liu Hong could not say anything else and could only silently accept this result.
Although the final competition had not been completely completed, the Black Tortoise Academy had already won all three matches and became the overall champion this time.
"Hooray, we are the champions!"
"Our Black Tortoise Academy is the champion!"
The Black Tortoise Academy, led by the old man Luo Dongqing, burst into cheers. Only Qin Haodong was relatively calm, this result was completely within his expectations.
The next match was the White Tiger Academy against the Vermillion Bird Academy. The overall champion had already been decided, so this match was obviously boring.
In the end, the White Tiger Academy relied on the advantage of the bench to obtain victory with a score of 3: 2.
The final ranking was: the Black Tortoise Academy was first, the White Tiger Academy was second, the Vermillion Bird Academy was third, and the previous champion, the Azure Dragon Academy, was last.
Li Mengyao's expression was so gloomy that it seemed like water was about to drip out. She had originally thought that the championship of the Exchange Tournament would still be theirs, but she did not expect to be crushed by the Black Tortoise Academy to such an extent that even the teacher leading the team had disappeared.
She looked at the smiling Qin Haodong, her eyes filled with viciousness.
Niu Cuihua whispered into Qin Haodong's ear: "Husband, you have to be careful of that woman, I think she will definitely take revenge on you."
Qin Haodong smiled faintly: "It doesn't matter, let her do whatever she wants."
Li Tianba had already been killed by him, he did not believe that the Azure Dragon Academy would be able to come up with any tricks. Moreover, after the competition ended, they would return to the Black Tortoise Academy in a few days.
After the competition ended, Liu Zhaoji began to give out the prizes to the winning team members. According to the previous promise, the prize was a low grade immortal crystal.
All the members of the Vermillion Bird Academy stood on the podium together. As the captain, Qin Haodong stood at the very front.
"Young lads, your performance was not bad. Congratulations on obtaining first place."
Liu Zhaoji had a smile on his face, but his heart was aching. He had originally thought that the Vermillion Bird Academy had the highest chance of winning this year, but he did not expect that the immortal crystal would be taken away by others.
He handed the immortal crystal to Qin Haodong, and said casually: "Young lad, this is a good thing, it can help people quickly increase their cultivation. I really don't know how you will split the prize with so many of you!"
As the king, this guy was extremely scheming. He had casually played a game of sowing discord.
From Liu Zhaoji's point of view, the Black Tortoise Academy winning the championship was purely an accident. In the face of such an expensive prize, these members would definitely have internal strife.
Unexpectedly, Tu Jiaojiao took the lead and said: "The prize belongs to our captain, it has nothing to do with us."
As soon as she spoke, the others echoed, "That's right, this immortal crystal belongs to our captain, it has nothing to do with us."
In the hearts of these people, the help that Qin Haodong had given them was far more than the immortal crystal.
Without Qin Haodong's help, their cultivation would not have increased so quickly, and it would have been even more impossible for them to become the overall champion of this competition.
Only You Wanren's eyes flashed with a hint of unwillingness. Unfortunately, he was a substitute who had not even participated in the competition, and he was also the weakest. What right did he have to speak?
Seeing that everyone respected Qin Haodong so much that even the immortal crystal could not arouse their desire, a hint of surprise flashed in Liu Zhaoji's eyes. He did not know what was so special about this young man that he actually had such great prestige.
The second and third place also had prizes, but the preciousness was a few levels lower than the low-grade immortal crystal.
Li Mengyao stood at the back of the team. Originally, the prize for the top three was designed to humiliate the Black Tortoise Academy, but now, this humiliation had been accepted by their Azure Dragon Academy.
Fortunately, the competition had already ended. Liu Zhaoji said: "Next, the top three students, please follow our people to the Vermillion Bird Spirit Spring. Tonight, you will stay outside the spirit spring, and tomorrow morning, you will enter to absorb the spirit energy."
Having said that, he glanced at Niu Cuihua and He Ziwei who were accompanying Qin Haodong: "Young man, are these two your confidantes?"
Qin Haodong nodded and said: "That's right, but they are not students of the Black Tortoise Academy."
Liu Zhaoji smiled and said: "No matter what, you are the champions of this competition, so I'll give you some special treatment. Bring your two friends with you."
Originally, He Ziwei and Niu Cuihua were full of regret that they could not enter the Vermillion Bird Spirit Spring, but after hearing Liu Zhaoji's words, they immediately cheered.
At Niu Cuihua's level of cultivation, she did not have much interest in the Vermillion Bird Spirit Spring. What she cared about was being together with her husband.
Qin Haodong felt that something was wrong, but he could not tell what the problem was.
He politely said: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After that, under the lead of the eldest prince Liu Hong, the members of the Black Tortoise Academy, White Tiger Academy, and Vermillion Bird Academy flew together towards the west side of Monarch City, rushing towards the Vermillion Bird Spirit Spring.
The Vermillion Bird Spirit Spring was not too far from Monarch City. After about four hours, everyone arrived at the periphery.
At this time, the kingdom had already made their preparations here. They had set up their tents, and everyone was camping here, preparing to enter the spirit spring tomorrow morning.
Although this was only the periphery of the Vermillion Bird Spirit Spring, the spirit energy here was much denser than other places. The trees and flowers were also exceptionally lush.
After eating dinner, Niu Cuihua pulled Qin Haodong's hand and said: "Husband, the environment here is so beautiful. Let's go out for a walk?"
"Sure!"
Qin Haodong agreed, and the two walked out hand in hand.
