Chapter 24: Soaring Dragon and Leaping Tiger

  Kuo Xiang's face contorted in pain as he struggled to get up from the ground, his soul energy slowly entering his body. He wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth and forced a smile as he looked at the middle-aged man below the stage.

  Just as the middle-aged man was about to loudly announce the result of the competition, "Wait, he's moving, he can also stand up, the match is not necessarily over yet." A anxious voice reminded, at this time everyone looked towards the arena.

  Su Qingchen really moved, the last collision just now, the soul force was completely drained. If it wasn't for the Xuanming War Armor's automatic absorption of air soul force condensation to protect Su Qingchen's right hand, I'm afraid that one blow would have disabled Su Qingchen's right hand. The internal injury was also caused by Guo Xiang's attack, fortunately, the body had undergone Xuanming's modification and repair with the purple warm current, otherwise it would not have been seriously injured and fainted.

  After falling to the ground, Zitian Yu brought out a purple warm current into Su Qingchen's body. It quickly flowed through his meridians, transforming his soul power while strengthening his meridians at the same time. Half a breath later, Su Qingchen's injuries had mostly recovered, but his right hand was too severely injured and he couldn't exert any strength. However, his soul power had increased by 30%, which he owed to Guo Xiang, this spirit being. The soul power of a spirit being was more refined and majestic than that of a spirit warrior.

  After hearing Bing Yu's shout again, Su Qingchen smiled wryly and stood on the battlefield with a flash of his body, saying to Guo Xiang with an incredulous face: "I said I would clean you up and avenge my family's Yin Ting." As he spoke, Su Qingchen burst out laughing twice, not looking like a wounded person at all. Then he opened his mouth again: "Take another punch from me!" At the same time, his legs exerted force, his body jumped up, his teeth clenched tightly, and he barely raised his right hand to prepare for another attack on Guo Xiang.

  Kuang Xiang saw Su Qingchen still able to throw his strongest punch, and he inadvertently panicked. Having never failed from childhood to adulthood, he was momentarily at a loss for how to face this situation. His already unstable body stumbled after losing his composure, and he fell to the ground on the battlefield.

  Seeing Guo Xiang's buttocks sitting on the ground, Su Qingchen stopped his movement and retracted his attack. In fact, he had just gambled that Guo Xiang's soul power was in disarray and couldn't use his soul skills to attack. It seemed that he had gambled correctly, a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes as he turned to look at the middle-aged man.

  After the middle-aged man announced the result, Su Qingchen showed a relieved smile, glanced at the audience below, and suddenly fell straight down. The injury was originally severe, and it was only supported by a conviction that he had just touched the wound again when his body moved just now, and the injury worsened. When the result came out, Su Qingchen could no longer hold on and fainted.

  Looking at Su Qingchen lying down, Guo Xiang was stunned. He knew he had been deceived. This match was actually his own carelessness. At the beginning, he was easily broken through by Su Qingchen several times in a row, and finally, he forcefully took his own move. In his heart, he had already regarded him as an opponent on the same level as himself.

  The final blow, if he wasn't so overbearing, thinking that one strike could thoroughly defeat Su Qingchen. He could have completely dodged the explosion of that grain-sized light ball and wouldn't have been blasted to the point where his soul force was in disarray, unable to attack again.

  Guo Xiang scolded himself, earlier it wasn't his heart that was panicked, as long as he stabilized his body, endured the intense pain and suppressed the chaotic soul power, he could still win the match even if he got injured by Su Qingchen's next move. Regretful and resentful, Guo Xiang's mind was in disarray for a moment, constantly questioning himself why he lost, why he lost so miserably.

  Guo Xiang lost in terms of combat experience and psychological impact. He has been surrounded by the halo of genius since he was young, never suffered a loss or injury, and never experienced defeat. In this regard, Su Qingchen, who has lived two lifetimes, has no experience to offer. If Guo Xiang can positively learn from this experience, his strength will greatly increase; if he cannot accept this failure, it will become the stumbling block of his life.

  For a whole night, Su Qingchen's bed was surrounded by a group of people, everyone quietly watching the Su Qingchen lying on the bed, waiting for his awakening, waiting for him to create another miracle.

  Bing Yu was clearly furious with the little scoundrel in front of him, and he couldn't wait to flay him alive. However, seeing how hard he fought for honor and a man's pride, eventually winning the match, Bing Yu couldn't muster up any hatred in his heart. Instead, he started worrying about Su Qingchen, hoping he would wake up soon, and whether or not they could participate in the competition was no longer important.

  At dawn, a streak of milky white light shone into the dormitory. Bing Yu coughed and said: "Everyone has dispersed, go have breakfast, and then go to the venue to watch the final match. I hope you can learn something from the game and strengthen your own strength. Su Qingchen, Wang Xing, and Liu Yunlu will stay behind, and all other classmates can leave."

  The classmates on the outermost side took a look at Su Qingchen and left one after another. After Yin Ting, who was guarding Su Qingchen's side, stood up and looked at Su Qingchen, she pulled Ice Rain, who was about to turn around and leave, and said in a low voice: "Teacher, I'll stay here and keep watch. If he wakes up, he'll definitely need someone to take care of him. Two boys are definitely not careful enough, so I'll stay and help out, okay?"

  Looking at Yin Ting's pleading face, Bing Yu couldn't muster the thought of refusing. If it were before, Bing Yu would have directly refused without hesitation, but this time she nodded her head in agreement. With Yin Ting here, she could finally leave with peace of mind.

  Standing at the dormitory door, Bing Yu turned her head and took a glance at Su Qingchen. At that moment, she felt a hint of reluctance in her heart. She shook her head and walked out of the dormitory.

  Since last night, a faint purple light had been emanating from Su Qingchen's body, especially from his right hand. When Wang Xing and the others saw the purple light, they felt relieved and started to doze off. It was just that they had been despised by many people many times before, fortunately, their faces were thick enough, otherwise, they would have had to find a hole in the ground to hide in.

  It wasn't until much later that the faint purple color on Su Qingchen's body disappeared, and her soul power automatically entered her body. When Yin Ting felt this, she took a deep breath, and the huge stone in her heart finally fell off. A smile appeared on Chu Chu's moving face, and if Wang Xing and Liu Yun hadn't been distracted at that moment, they would have been captivated by Yin Ting.

  Su Qingchen slowly opened his eyes, let out a long sigh, and felt refreshed after not sleeping well for a long time. He made a silly face at the headboard, ready to get up and eat. Just then, he heard a pleasant laugh, Su Qingchen was stunned, feeling like he was still dreaming. He pinched himself, and after feeling the pain, he heard a familiar yet lewd laughter. Only then did Su Qingchen confirm that he wasn't dreaming.

  Su Qingchen stretched his limbs, and with a burst of strength, he sat up, wanting to gather his wits and laugh at Wang Xing and Liu Yun. But when he saw Yin Ting crouching beside his bed, he was instantly stunned, and the foot he had kicked out quickly retracted. Due to using too much force, it directly hit the wall behind him, leaving a small dent on the wall.

  Wang Xing and Liu Yun, who were about to burst out laughing, suddenly sucked in a breath of cold air when they saw the indentation on the wall, their smiles froze on their faces, slowly turning into embarrassment.

  Wang Xing's face changed, and he looked at Su Qingchen with a flattering expression: "Boss, I knew you were fine. I told them earlier that you would definitely be back to normal within a day, and lead us to create another miracle."
