Chapter 75

The official martial arts competition between Nanling High School and Xilin No.1 High School is scheduled to start at 4 PM. Both Nanling High School and Xilin No.1 High School are traditional powerhouses in the Haixi District's high school division. However, among the eighteen teams in the high school A division, Xilin No.1 High School's ranking is much higher than that of Nanling High School.

Xilin No.1 High School ranks second, while Nanling High School is ranked seventeenth, a position that is almost on the verge of dropping to the B division.

In fact, in the twenty-four editions of the high school league, Nanling High School has won the Haixi District A division championship sixteen times, making it the undisputed dominant force in the Haixi District. Historically, it has even won the national league championship. However, in the past four to five years, Nanling High School's performance has been lackluster. In the past two years, it has been hovering in the mid-ranks.

But in the last two years, its performance has been abysmal, and it almost got relegated last year.

It's not that Nanling High School is no longer capable; rather, it seems to have lost interest in the championship. Additionally, Nanling High School has not been sending its strongest competitors, so such results are quite normal.

On the other hand, Xilin No.1 High School and the top-ranked Xiliang High School, seeing Nanling High School's lack of interest, have been actively recruiting external players and using strong policies to attract high-level quasi-martial artists to join their schools. As a result, their performance has naturally improved.

Of course, they do not underestimate the former dominant force, Nanling High School.

However, in the past four years, as Xiliang High School and Xilin High School have taken turns winning the championship, each securing two titles, a look back at Nanling High School shows that if it hadn't sent its strongest competitor to the final match last year, it might have faced its first relegation in history.

Therefore, the two strong teams are now determined to win the championship and, at the same time, send Nanling High School to the B division.

After all, historically, they have been suppressed by Nanling High School, and the resentment is hard to vent. If they can relegate this traditional powerhouse, it would be a slap in the face.

Thus, before the match, it is said that Xilin No.1 High School and Xiliang High School have even jointly announced that they would rather not win the championship than let Nanling High School avoid relegation.

For Nanling High School, only four matches remain. Theoretically, unless they win the next three matches, they will face their first-ever relegation to the B division next year.

Although Nanling High School has already fielded its best players to avoid relegation, this time it may not be as lucky as last year.

The next four matches include two home games and two away games. The two home games are against Xilin No.1 High School and Xiliang High School, while the two away games are against the third and eighth-ranked teams in this year's league.

Such a schedule is almost a death sentence for Nanling High School, as even with its best players, it may not be able to win against the top-ranked opponents. Even in the away game against the third-ranked team, Nanling High School may not fare well. So, the current situation is that they are likely to focus on how to return to the A division from the B division next year.

There is still some time before the match. Ning Yi finished the third class and, after greeting the math teacher, left.

Faced with a student who scored 148 in math, the math teacher had no intention of making things difficult for Ning Yi.

On the phone, Gu Ying kept nagging, saying she had drunk too much last night and told him to study well and not watch the match, promising to show him the video later.

Unfortunately, Ning Yi was already outside the martial arts hall.

At the agreed location, he didn't see Gu Ying, but soon, the class monitor, Li Jiawei, rushed over.

Li Jiawei was wearing a blue training suit and a blue baseball cap, which seemed to be the cap of the Nanling High School martial arts team. She ran over, and the tight blue training suit made her full breasts bounce up and down, almost blinding Ning Yi.

Li Jiawei's outfit was quite alluring, and it seemed she was also there to watch the match.

"Hey, you! I've been calling you for a long time, and you didn't respond. What's the deal?" Li Jiawei complained as she approached.

"Are you watching the match too?" Ning Yi asked, puzzled. No wonder she disappeared right after class; she must have gone to change. But to watch a match, did she need to dress up so formally?

"Of course! I haven't missed a single school team match. I'm a substitute on the team," Li Jiawei pouted, "I might even have to play today."

"You're on the school team too?" Ning Yi was surprised.

"Is that so strange?" Li Jiawei puffed out her chest, making her full breasts rise even higher.

"No... it's just that, with a beauty like you, will people be watching the match or you?"

"Tsk, you can talk today, huh? Finally, you recognize that I'm a beauty?" Li Jiawei glanced at Ning Yi and smiled. To be honest, she felt quite pleased with his words.

Li Jiawei's skills are definitely among the best in the school, so it's not surprising that she is on the team.

Moreover, in the campus league, to promote gender balance among martial artists, the best-of-five format requires that if the match goes to the fifth game, the fifth game must be between two female competitors.

So, Li Jiawei has a good chance of playing.

"By the way, how did you know I was here?" Ning Yi and Gu Ying had agreed to meet at a pavilion to the left of the Chongwen Pavilion, a place that is easy to find but also hard to find.

"Gu Ying told me. By the way, where is Gu Ying?" Li Jiawei looked around.

"Gu Ying? That's strange, it's time." Ning Yi was puzzled, checked his phone, and called Gu Ying.

"No answer!" Ning Yi frowned. Gu Ying is usually punctual.

"Over there..." Li Jiawei pointed to the right.

Ning Yi looked and asked, "What?"

"I think I saw Gu Ying, but that's the away team's bus. What's going on?" Li Jiawei frowned slightly.

Ning Yi glanced and indeed saw Gu Ying's figure. She was wearing a white sports outfit, which made her stand out among the yellow team uniforms of the away team.

More importantly, her fiery figure made her stand out like a crane among chickens.

Ning Yi and Li Jiawei exchanged a look and hurried over.

They soon understood what was happening. It turned out that Gu Ying was surrounded by a group of people.

The Xilin No.1 High School competitors were surrounding Gu Ying, asking for her phone number.

Today, Gu Ying was wearing a white cotton sports outfit, a baseball cap, her hair tied in a ponytail, and white sports shoes. Her stunning face and fiery, alluring figure were incredibly captivating.

Moreover, her appearance made her look like a student, which is why she was being approached.

However, on Nanling High School's turf, this was a bit too presumptuous.

"Beautiful lady, can you give us your phone number?"

"Beautiful lady, can we get to know each other?" A few tall, muscular guys deliberately blocked Gu Ying's path, while two shorter ones were asking for her phone number.

Gu Ying frowned and replied coolly, "I am a teacher at Nanling High School. If you want my phone number, you can get it from the office."

"Teacher? Ha, beautiful lady, who are you trying to fool? Look at your figure, you don't look like a teacher at all. You could be my junior," a pimply-faced guy said with a lecherous smile, slowly approaching Gu Ying.

Beside them, a few adult men, who were clearly coaches, stood smiling, showing no intention of stopping the students.

Fifth-layer Qi Practitioner, late stage; Fifth-layer Qi Practitioner, mid stage; Fifth-layer Qi Practitioner, early stage... Fourth-layer Qi Practitioner, late stage; Fourth-layer Qi Practitioner, late stage...

Ning Yi scanned the group and felt a chill. No wonder Xilin No.1 High School ranks second in the league.

While he was thinking about how to handle the situation, Li Jiawei spoke up, "Hey, are you all brain-dead?"

I have to step out for a bit due to an urgent matter. The next chapter will be a bit late, probably after midnight.

Happy Dragon Boat Festival, everyone! May your pockets be full of zongzi!
