Kasha's royal dignity had been unchallenged for over a decade, with everyone bowing and scraping to her. But in Yun Feng's presence, Kasha's royal dignity was challenged for the first time, and it ended in utter defeat. Now, Ling Xiao Yun posed another severe challenge to Kasha's royal dignity, and this time, she might suffer an even more crushing defeat.
Casha's face was red with rage, a hint of purple emerging, her palms clenched tightly, her entire body trembling with anger at Ling Xiao Yun's words, but she couldn't say anything. This time, her goal was to disintegrate the Star Luo Society, especially the participating members! Casha didn't care if people would say she was despicable afterwards; she would simply raise her proud head and retort, "Despicable? That's just how royalty does things, what do you know?"
Ling Xiao Yun gave Kasha a disdainful glance, "Scram!" He growled in a low voice, turning his head and walking away without looking back. Kasha was taken aback for a moment, then her face turned purple with rage, her breathing becoming more rapid, "You... you... you..." Kasha glared at Ling Xiao Yun's retreating figure as he entered the trial tower, her chest heaving violently as she struggled to maintain her composure and the dignity befitting a member of royalty.
Yun Feng, now there's another Ling Xiao Yun, are they blind or stupid! Facing the imperial princess, they don't even have the most basic respect, do they not have family members living in the Kalan Empire, aren't they afraid of the Kalan royal family taking action against them in a fit of rage? Daring to provoke the imperial princess again and again, are they all tired of living?!
Kasha was furious, the students around her looked at her with some curiosity. Kasha barely composed herself, like a proud rooster, she stuck out her neck and turned her head, stiffening her scalp under the scrutiny of various gazes, took a step forward, her backline was stiff to the extreme, almost losing her balance and falling to the ground.
Kasha's decomposition action ended in failure, which made her very angry. The five-person team from the Star Luo Society that was going to participate in the competition was indeed a bit of a headache for Kasha. There was Yun Feng, Qu Lianyi, and also Ling Xiao Yun, whose strength was unknown. Who Ling Xiao Yun was, Kasha wasn't clear about. In all these years since entering Masang School, Kasha didn't even know there was someone named Ling Xiao Yun. Yun Xiang and Mu Xiaojin were not a concern for Kasha, believing that the two wouldn't pose any threat either. Yun Feng and Qu Lianyi were the biggest enemies that Kasha worried about, and the result of competing against these two would be losing. How Flame Society could win this competition was truly an unsolvable puzzle.
Kasha didn't know that Yun Sheng, who couldn't even lift her spirits, would be the one to make her eyes widen in shock at this club ranking tournament. And it was because of this tournament that the Yun family welcomed a completely unknown storm.
The night before the school club's external competition had arrived, and tomorrow was the official start of the tournament. Every member of the participating clubs was excited tonight, but more excited were the spectators, every student was discussing heatedly about who would be the champion of tomorrow's club ranking competition, a new round of contention began on this night, a night of earth-shaking discussion. Just on this night, the vice principal of Masan School received an important message, which made his eyes suddenly open wide, flashing a ray of light.
The vice principal immediately called Ted over, and Ted rushed over without any drowsiness. It seems that Ted was also somewhat excited about tomorrow's club ranking match. Pushing open the door to the vice principal's office, Ted saw the vice principal sitting in a chair by the window, with moonlight shining through the transparent glass window onto this normally laid-back old man, making him look somewhat mysterious on this night.
"Vice Principal." Ted said softly. The Vice Principal didn't turn around, but chuckled and said, "Ted, can't sleep either?"
Ted was taken aback for a moment, then also hung a smile, "Deputy principal can't sleep either? So late wanting someone to accompany him to talk?"
The vice president chuckled and said, "At your age, you're still so excited. It seems that little girl has brought too many surprises. I'll just forget about this old bone."
"That's why..." Ted furrowed his brow in doubt, the vice principal slowly turned around, a smiling face facing Ted, and with a light wave of his hand, a faint flame element jumped out from between his fingers, floating into the oil lamp, a wisp of dim yellow light instantly shone on the vice principal's face, carrying a mysterious meaning.
"The principal of the distant American Empire has finally sent a message." As soon as the vice-principal finished speaking, Ted suddenly opened his eyes wide, looking at the vice-principal with some disbelief, and his face turned pale. He put his arms on the desk in front of the vice-principal.
"Principal!!"
The vice principal nodded with a smile, "That old man is like a ghost, he's an irresponsible old guy. Ted, we're going to be busy again."
Ted furrowed his brow, the vice principal waved his hand and a letter flew to Ted's face. Ted hastily took it in his hands, the envelope had dragon and phoenix-like handwriting on it. Ted slightly furrowed his brow and smiled helplessly, the principal was still as unbridled as ever, not afraid that others wouldn't understand what he was writing.
When Ted read the contents of the letter, his expression suddenly turned serious and solemn, his eyebrows furrowed tighter and tighter, and the arc of his eyebrows became more pronounced. After finishing reading, Ted's entire face was shrouded in a layer of gloom.
"With that said, I suppose we should get busy..." Ted muttered under his breath. The vice principal chuckled and leaned back in his chair, "This time, I'm not worried. After all, there have been too many surprising youngsters this year. For them, this is just a small matter..."
Ted also twitched the corner of his mouth, this sentence is indeed correct, thinking that Yun Feng's gloom has slightly reduced, with that little guy around, this time Ma Sang School will surely make a big splash...
"Are individual rankings going on at the same time?" Ted asked, and the vice principal chuckled, "You take care of these things."
Ted's mouth twitched, and he turned to walk out, involuntarily covering his forehead with his hand. The vice principal was indeed laughing at the hundred steps from the fifty steps. He and the principal were no different, except that they were in charge of the Masan school. In fact, wasn't he also a shopkeeper who threw his hands up? Ted sighed helplessly, oh well, maybe he was just a laborer after all.
The next morning, the club ranking competition of Masan School was held in full swing. This time, Masan School participated in the club ranking competition with a total of 50 clubs, and almost all students gave up their studies. The trial tower also became cold and deserted for the first time, and everyone flocked to the venue where the club ranking competition was held. The students were all excited and thrilled, and this year's ranking competition had a lot of highlights.
Nature, the Star Luo Club, as a dark horse that rushed out, received everyone's attention, whether good or bad. The popularity of the Star Luo Club has already caught up with the Flame Club, and even surpassed it in some ways! The Star Luo Club, which had always been at the bottom, suddenly made a big comeback, and this change also made many other clubs jealous. Other clubs couldn't help but grit their teeth, wishing they had a few more Cloud Fog players, so they could also rise to fame.
Jealousy aside, the other clubs also understood that Yun Feng was one of a kind. The reason why Xing Luo Club could recruit someone like him was still due to one person: Yun Sheng!
Yun Feng's personality should be similar to Ling Xiao Yun, if it weren't for his older brother Yun Sheng joining the club and becoming the president of the Xing Luo Club, Yun Feng wouldn't have participated in the club at all, let alone stir up such a big commotion.
Inside the grand auditorium of Masan School, students were packed in, all fifty teams arrived one after another, and hundreds of people stood in the middle of the auditorium. The tables, chairs and facilities in the auditorium had been removed, leaving a vast empty space. Except for the hundreds of people at the center, there were even more students surrounding them on all sides, with twice as many spectators as participants. All the students were whispering to each other, their eyes fixed on the contestants in the middle, filled with speculation and curiosity.
The contestants standing in the center had different expressions, most of them were expressionless, and it was unclear whether they didn't care or were nervous. The members of the Star Luo Society stood in an inconspicuous corner, Yun Feng glanced at a few people beside him, his eyes sank, and Ling Xiao Yun did not come as expected.
Mo Xiao Jin stretched out her hand and grasped Yun Feng's hand, Yun Feng smiled at Mo Xiao Jin, Qu Lan Yi stood aside, seeing the two of them in harmony, also leaned over, her icy soft hands entwined around Yun Feng's fingers, wrapping tightly.
Yun Feng's body trembled slightly, and without thinking, she wanted to shake off Qu Lan Yi's hand. However, she didn't expect that her entire body was wrapped around Yun Feng's arm, and her perfect face leaned against Yun Feng's shoulder. "Four people are the same, don't think about that disgusting person."
Yun Feng's goosebumps all stood up, Yun Sheng saw Jun Lian's face and couldn't help but turn black, stretched out his hand and pulled Yun Feng's body over, pulling Yun Feng from Qu Lan Yi's side. Qu Lan Yi smiled and said, "Brother Yun, are you jealous?"
Mu Xiao Jin's expression turned somewhat dull as she listened, and Yun Feng couldn't help but glance at her older brother. Qu Lanyi was indeed very beautiful and stunning, the kind of woman who would make any man stop and take a second look. If her older brother really liked her, it wouldn't be unreasonable. However... whenever Yun Feng thought about Qu Lanyi being with her older brother, she felt a wave of discomfort in her heart, extremely uneasy. Suddenly, she shook off the distracting thoughts in her mind, deciding that it was better not to get involved with this kind of woman. With her older brother's gentle nature, wouldn't he be taken advantage of by Qu Lanyi if they were really together?
Yun Sheng's face turned slightly red, not because Qu Lan Yi had guessed his thoughts, but because Yun Feng looked at him with a "not like that!" expression. Qu Lan Yi heard this and smiled slyly again, "Oh? What is it then?"
Yun Sheng's face turned even redder, while Mu Xiao Jin on the side was silent, her small face tense and her mouth pursed. Her big eyes were fixed on Yun Sheng, but unfortunately, he didn't notice, nor did Yun Feng. Qu Lan Yi's gaze swept over Mu Xiao Jin, a hint of darkness flashing in his black pupils as he leaned in close to her and whispered, "He only knows how to look, not speak; sooner or later, he'll be snatched away."
Mu Xiao Jin suddenly lifted her head, a pair of big eyes staring at Qu Lan Yi in shock, her small face turning red in the next second. Qu Lan Yi chuckled and smiled, but Yun Feng immediately pulled Mu Xiao Jin over as soon as he saw it. Seeing that Qu Lan Yi's body was about to lean in softly again, Yun Feng glared at him, and Qu Lan Yi's body froze in place. "Little Feng Feng, why must you be like this? Every night, aren't we always like this?"
This sentence is really thought-provoking, and the curious people around who heard this couldn't help but be a little tongue-tied. Two women, what do they do every night? Moreover, they are two such beautiful girls, no wonder they don't have any men they like, nor do they interact with other boys, could it be that these two people are...
The team ranking match hasn't started yet, but Yun Feng and Qu Lan's relationship has already become the focus of gossip. Whether it's boys or girls, they're all speculating about the two people's relationship, guessing wildly, while the parties involved are pretending to be unaware.
"Only four people from the Starlight Club are participating?" A voice rang out, and all the contestants immediately fell silent. The four of them who were laughing earlier also quieted down. The waiting contestant teams slowly made way for a path, and several people walked over. It was none other than the elegant and refined Kasha, with four others following behind her. All five of them wore uniform attire, which was quite distinctive among the participating clubs, giving off an air of grandeur.
Kasha walked ahead, followed by a familiar face that Yun Feng knew well. Mi Lingli still had her high nose in the air, and when she saw that there were only four people on Yun Feng's side, she couldn't help but laugh coldly. Mu Rongyan was also among them, and her tenth-place finish in the individual ranking tournament was enough to stand out among the Yan She members. The three women who had a history with Yun Feng were all in one group, and when Yun Feng saw this, he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth. It was as if fate had brought these three people together.
"The teams participating are all five-man teams, and the Xing Luo Society is also a team of five." Yun Sheng replied calmly, Mu Rong Yan hummed and didn't say anything else. Her eyes showed some fear when looking at Yun Feng, after all, that water element attack had tormented her for almost half a month, making her a spectacle to be gawked at by others. Every day, there would be some inexplicable students coming to the hospital, pointing and staring at her on the hospital bed, which made Mu Rong Yan once think she was going to die of shame.
Every day, a layer of frost forms inside her body. Before it melts, she has to endure the biting cold that seeps deep into her bones. This bone-deep chill makes Murong Ruan change her original view of water elements. Now, if anyone says that water elements are the least aggressive, Murong Ruan is likely to be the first to disagree.
Murong Rang didn't dare speak, Yun Feng smiled slightly, it seems that teaching this woman a lesson was the right thing to do, now she's being obedient.
"Five people? Where is the fifth person? Haven't they gotten out of bed yet?" Miriam's sharp eyes looked at Yun Sheng with disdain. As for the Yun family and this pair of siblings, she knew just that much, and was also the most ignorant one. Provoking them was completely without bottom line, and she didn't even know that the ones she was facing weren't harmless animals, but two lions who had retracted their claws.
Yun Xiang smiled slightly and said, "It will come naturally."
Kasha raised a faintly arrogant and self-righteously dignified smile, slowly walking towards Yunsheng, saying in a low voice, "Ling Xiao Yun won't be coming, give up on that idea."
Kasha smiled slightly and stood up, facing the four of them, "Well, good luck to you then. Hopefully you won't run into Flame Society in the first round."
Yun Feng smiled softly and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, the best part of the show is always at the end, that's what makes it worth watching."
Kasha's breath tightened, Yun Feng's black eyes at this moment were like a beast eye that was ready to pounce, full of accumulated power, so sharp and shocking, Kasha's momentum was completely defeated by such an eye, and could only turn around in anger, leading the other four people who also couldn't speak to leave.
After Kasha left, Yun Feng asked in a low voice, "Big brother, what did that woman say just now?"
Yun Sheng was startled when he heard Yun Feng's address to Kasha, and then smiled relievedly, "Nothing, don't worry."
Qū Lán Yī stood by, a faint smile on her face, not saying a word, as if nothing could pique her interest. Mù Xiǎo Jǐn looked at Yún Shēng with some concern, the Star Luo team only had four members participating in the competition, which was no small loss for them. Mù Xiǎo Jǐn couldn't help but feel worried too, she knew Xiao Feng's strength best, as for Qū Lán Yī, she didn't know what to expect, and as for Yún Dà Gē...
Mu Xiao Jin furrowed his brow, thinking that the Star Luo team might actually win? With this lineup of four people? His hand was gently held, and the top of his head was also lightly stroked by a large hand. Mu Xiao Jin looked up to see Yun Xiang's gentle eyes and Yun Feng's smiling mouth. The siblings from the Yun family showed their most gentle expressions at this moment, and they said in unison, "Don't worry."
Mu Xiao Jin's uneasy heart suddenly calmed down, and Qu Lan Yi said leisurely beside her, "Mu Xiao Jin, your worries are truly unnecessary."
Mei Xiao Jin smiled, showing a big smile to Yun Sheng and Yun Feng, her hand tightly grasping Yun Feng's. No matter if they were four people or not, they would definitely win, definitely rush into the finals. As long as they had each other, there wouldn't be any problems!
The group stage finally started after the draw, with 50 participating teams divided into five zones of ten teams each through a lottery. The ten teams in each zone then competed against each other in pairs, with the top two teams from each zone advancing to the second round of the wheel war.
The captain of each team is responsible for drawing lots, and Yun Sheng naturally cannot be exempt. After drawing the lots, Xing Luo Society was assigned to Zone C, while Yan She was in Zone A. The two teams will not meet in the first round.
Before long, the division of the venue was posted, as well as the names of the ten teams participating in each region. Each region had two teachers responsible for management. The students who were watching naturally moved towards their respective regions. As expected, areas A and C had the most people, and everyone was highly interested in the Inflammation Society and the Starlight Society.
Yun Feng stood in front of the bulletin board and scanned the ten teams in District C, all of which were clubs she had never seen before. Yun Sheng took a rough look and found that among the ten teams, only one could pose a threat to Xing Luo Club, which was Xiāng Yún Club.
The five-man team of Xiangyun Society, consisting of three 4th-level magicians and two 5th-level magicians, is also one of the most luxurious configurations among all participating teams. The level of these participating teams in the club ranking match is mostly between Level 3 and Level 4, due to the overall level limit of Dongdalu magicians. Those who can reach Level 6 or above are indeed exceptional talents, like Yun Feng and Qu Lan Yi, who are rare geniuses.
The group ranking match finally kicked off after a loud command, with five regions conducting the knockout tournament simultaneously. The five regions occasionally erupted in cheers and shouts, as well as various whispers and cries from the students. The grand auditorium was also bustling with excitement. On a small platform protruding from the top of the auditorium, Ted stood there, clearly observing the competition below, his eyes fixed intently on Zone C, where the Starlight Club had yet to take the stage.
The Flame Society of District A was the first to take the stage, and with an overwhelming advantage, they took down the first game, a perfect opening. The students erupted into thunderous applause and cheers. After all, the Flame Society had accumulated a lot of popularity over the years. Although the Chū Kōjin incident was a devastating blow, under Kasahara's cold decision, the Flame Society's reputation was tarnished, but they still had many supporters. This opening game gave the Flame Society a good image once again, with the same strength and dominance as before.
After the five members of Inflammation Society easily defeated their opponents, they all looked towards Zone C at the same time. Many students were gathered there, and a voice calling out to them also came from that direction. Kasha whispered a few words to someone beside her, and this person immediately hurriedly ran towards Zone C. It seemed like they wanted to obtain all the information about Starlight Society's participation in the competition as soon as possible.
Yun Sheng looked at the number in his hand, after the last group of matches was over, it was time for the Star Luo Club to take the stage! With a loud shout from the teacher: "Star Luo Club, come on!" The entire C area was boiling with excitement, students cheered and shouted, their passionate eyes fixed on the competition venue. The team competing against the Star Luo Club was an unknown small club, if the Star Luo Club hadn't had Yun Feng and others join, they probably wouldn't have been able to beat this small club either.
Yun Feng was the first to jump onto the stage, and the opposing team's player also walked up, scanning Yun Feng with a glance. "You're that Yun Feng who challenged Flame Society? You've got quite a lot of guts, and your courage is commendable too. But I wonder how your actual strength is?"
Yun Feng hooked his lips and smiled, his palm flipped over, and a flowing pure blue water element appeared in the center of his palm. The flowing blue color seemed gentle and harmless, but it was faintly revealing an unusual aura. The opponent saw it and couldn't help but jump forward, waving his hand, and a yellowish-brown earth element also appeared in his palm, he was an earth system magician.
"How strong I am, you'll know if you try it yourself!" Yun Feng said with a smile, his black eyes sank, and his palm suddenly swung out. The first battle of the Star Luo Society had begun!
The competition on the A side is proceeding at a rapid pace, with Enshou being incredibly fast, usually ending matches in just a few moves, leaving their opponents helpless. The teams competing against Enshou have no illusions about their chances and Enshou quickly secured one of the spots for advancement from the A block. The other teams are still fighting for the remaining spot, meanwhile, Kasha's subordinate who was watching the Seiroku tournament has returned, but with a somewhat unsatisfactory expression.
"Tell me, how's the situation over there?" Kasha sat leisurely in a chair on one side, with the other four sitting beside her. The reporter took a deep breath before speaking softly, "Three consecutive wins."
Kasha frowned, "I know the result, I want specific circumstances!"
The reporter couldn't help but take a cold breath, his black eyes glanced at Kasha, "Win in seconds, win with one move."
Kasha's black eyes suddenly lifted, "All three games were like this?"
The person who replied nodded heavily, "Who are the three participants?" Kasha's heart jumped up a bit uncomfortably, and she also tried to comfort herself that winning in seconds didn't count for anything. Maybe those they were competing against were just small fry, so winning in seconds was normal.
The person who replied trembled with their lips and spoke in a low voice, "Yun Feng, Mu Xiao Jin, and... Yun Sheng."
Kasha's heart skipped a beat as she heard this, and the others who heard it were also shocked. Yun Feng was expected to win in seconds, given her dual-system magic and strength. It was also understandable that Mu Xiao Jin would win in seconds. But Yun Sheng... with only third-level strength, winning in seconds? This... this is simply unacceptable!
Kasha sat there, speechless, and the others also looked thoughtful. The person who came to report saw such a scene and quickly retreated. Suddenly, a burst of cheers erupted from C's place, and Kasha's mind was suddenly shocked back, her eyebrows tightly locked together.
Yun Sheng, Yun Sheng... Could it be that the situation has changed and Yun Sheng is also a master who keeps a low profile?
Kasha thought of this, and a sense of unease suddenly rose in her heart. The Yun family was not an ordinary family. If it were an ordinary family, the Karan royal family would not have gone to such great lengths. But the Yun family was different. This family that had given birth to summoners was a thorn stuck in the throat of the Karan Empire. It was fine if they remained dormant, but once they rose up, they would be a disaster for the Karan Empire. What's more, they were not even under their control. As long as you did not surrender to me, I could only thoroughly eliminate you! This was the philosophy of the royal family.
Kasha thought to herself, Yun Feng's growing strength had already made the Kalan royal family wary. If another Yun Sheng were added to that, then... Kasha's expression turned gloomy. If this situation was true, it seemed that taking action against the Yun family would have to be brought forward.
