Chapter 77

Hearing Gu Ying's implications, it was clear that the other party was two levels above her, and she had offended her. Wouldn't this be like going to her death?

Li Jiawei pursed her lips but didn't speak.

Feng Yingruo also frowned slightly and shook her head, saying, "Weiwei, Chen Cuifeng has a grudge against you. In the fighting arena, although it's strictly forbidden to intentionally harm others, who knows what might happen in the heat of the moment..."

Li Jiawei glanced at Ning Yi after hearing what the two said.

Cultivation at the Fifth Level of Qi Practice... She knew very well that Du Wen was also at the Fifth Level of Qi Practice. However, this Ning Yi guy used some kind of trick, and Du Wen was sent flying with just two palms.

If Ning Yi could use his trick to help her again, the outcome was still uncertain. Of course, the key was whether this guy would be up to the task.

With a thought, she smiled and said, "Alright, I know you're all worried about me, but Teacher, and Yingruo, do you think our school can last until the fifth round?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Ying and Feng Yingruo exchanged glances, their beautiful faces darkening. As Li Jiawei said, it was uncertain whether Nanling High School could even last five rounds.

"Let's go in first. If it really comes to the fifth round, I'll just give up," Li Jiawei said with a smile.

Everyone exchanged glances and didn't say much more, then headed toward the entrance of the martial arts hall.

Ning Yi, who was trailing behind, was now calculating.

The Fifth Level of Qi Practice was exactly the highest level he could absorb. Tsk, today, Xilin No.1 High School had a lineup of Fifth Level practitioners, a big, juicy target.

"Hey, kid, where's your ticket?"

Just as he was thinking, the security guard at the martial arts hall stopped him.

Damn! Ning Yi was frustrated. Gu Ying was so engrossed in chatting with Li Jiawei that she forgot about him, the little tail.

Fortunately, just as he was about to call Li Jiawei after explaining for two minutes, she rushed out, dragging him to a corner.

"Hey... Hey... Hey, Class President, I know I'm exceptionally handsome, but can you give me some face in public?" Li Jiawei, this woman, always used her slightly higher cultivation to bully him, which was really embarrassing.

"Can you help me like last time?" Li Jiawei pinned him in the corner, her full chest less than ten centimeters from his face. Her beautiful eyes stared intently at Ning Yi, as if she would crush him if he dared to deceive her.

"Last time? What last time?" Ning Yi feigned ignorance.

"Don't pretend, the time I fought with Du Wen. Help me again this time," Li Jiawei said with a pleading look in her eyes.

"But... I can't create a world-class divine pill on the spot," Ning Yi said with a pained expression.

"What world-class divine pill? The next day, I just bought a pack of chocolate beans, the Blue Bean brand, and added a bit of salt... That's what you called the world-class divine pill..."

Damn! Does she have to be so serious!

Ning Yi shrugged. "Let go of me for a moment."

"I won't let go until you agree!"

This is like forcing me to do something against my will, Ning Yi thought with a bitter smile. Actually, he would definitely help her even if she didn't ask, but if he helped her again, this girl would definitely keep asking questions, which would be painful. He wouldn't be able to explain it clearly then.

Ning Yi tried to stretch out his index finger and thumb.

Li Jiawei immediately understood; he wanted a favor.

"Alright, I'll treat you to a big meal!" she said generously.

Ning Yi narrowed his eyes and shook his head, staring at her prominent peaks.

Li Jiawei was furious. "You actually want my body? That's too much!"

Ning Yi swallowed. "Cough... Cough... Although you're beautiful, I'm not that desperate... Ah, what I mean is, you should consider it fair. I contribute a world-class divine pill, and you treat me to a meal at your family's restaurant. That's too unfair, right?"

"What do you mean 'desperate'? Are you saying I'm not good enough for you?" Li Jiawei clenched her fists, already enraged by Ning Yi. She instantly forgot her real purpose of asking Ning Yi to help her defeat Chen Cuifeng.

"Good enough, good enough... Shouldn't we discuss Chen Cuifeng's problem?" Seeing Li Jiawei's stubbornness, Ning Yi smiled bitterly. It wasn't that he was afraid of her, but he respected beautiful women.

"Hmph, if I don't show you some color, you won't know why the flowers are so red." Li Jiawei's fists brushed against Ning Yi's face, looking smug. "Help me deal with Chen Cuifeng, and after it's done, I'll buy you two packs of world-class divine pills, the Blue Bean brand..."

Damn! Ning Yi was furious. This was even worse than the big meal!

"Alright, I'll help you, but you have to agree to one condition," Ning Yi said dejectedly.

"Speak!" Li Jiawei raised her small, fair chin. She found that talking to Ning Yi was quite comfortable, especially when using her fists, which was undoubtedly more effective.

Of course, she wasn't stupid. Since Ning Yi could help her, it proved that his strength wasn't weak. So, she was becoming more and more curious about him.

"You must swear not to tell anyone that I can help you, including your father."

Li Jiawei thought for a moment and nodded. "Alright!"

"Alright, let's go in then," Ning Yi said.

"Is it that simple?" Li Jiawei looked suspicious. Didn't she need to swear first?

"Class President, the match is about to start." Ning Yi pushed her.

"Damn... Why did you touch my butt..."

"Uh..." Ning Yi looked at his hand and quickly hid it.

The match started soon. Gu Ying was indeed helpful; she got tickets for the front row, and she was right next to him.

The match bell rang, and three referees entered the arena. The noisy crowd instantly fell silent.

The martial arts competition was somewhat similar to free fighting, but since it was a competition, there were many rules. The most important ones were that during the match, one could not hit the opponent's vital areas, such as the head, heart, or neck. If one party fell, the other could not continue to hit them, and so on.

In short, the competition aimed to avoid harming the opponent as much as possible. Therefore, the three referees were all martial artists with certain cultivation levels. Besides the main referee, the two assistant referees were there to prevent the participants from suffering serious injuries.

Soon, the lineup for both sides was announced. Gu Ying looked at her phone, her face showing some concern.

Ning Yi, eagerly waiting for the match to start, turned to ask, "What's wrong, Teacher?"

Gu Ying sighed with a bitter smile and handed her phone to Ning Yi. "This is the lineup for both sides. I don't know if it's lucky or unlucky. The good news is that Weiwei might not have to fight Chen Cuifeng... The bad news is that our school might not even last until the fourth round."

Ning Yi took it and glanced at it.

There were several familiar faces on their side.

"Official team members: Du Wen, Guo Hui, Ma Pi, Zhong Xinben, Li Jiawei."

Behind these names were notes about their cultivation levels. Du Wen was at the early Fifth Level of Qi Practice, Guo Hui at the early Fourth Level, Ma Pi at the early Sixth Level, Zhong Xinben at the mid Fourth Level, and Li Jiawei at the early Third Level.

Overall, the Nanling High School team's level wasn't bad.

Especially the school's top bully, Ma Pi, who was at the Sixth Level of Qi Practice. But Gu Ying said there was no chance!

He looked at the other side's lineup and immediately understood.

Damn!

"Ding Wei, mid Sixth Level of Qi Practice, Pasang, late Fifth Level, Dong Wenchao, mid Fifth Level, Li Tianyi, early Fifth Level, Chen Cuifeng, early Fifth Level..."

The Xilin No.1 High School team was all at the Fifth Level of Qi Practice. No wonder Nanling High School had no chance.

Except for Ma Pi, who might have a chance if he didn't face Ding Wei, everyone else would be easily defeated.

Sure enough, many people who saw the lineup immediately changed their expressions, filled with despair.

Then, the automatic pairing began on the big screen.

"Guo Hui vs. Dong Wenchao... Du Wen vs. Pasang... Ma Pi vs. Ding Wei... Zhong Xinben vs. Li Tianyi... Chen Cuifeng vs. Li Jiawei..."

As soon as the list appeared, the already depressed Nanling High School audience immediately started cursing, booing loudly. This was clearly a setup to be completely dominated.

"Damn, is the computer broken? How can it pair like this?"

"Damn, we're definitely going to be demoted, damn it!"

"Damn, how can we even watch this match, damn it!"

"Bad luck!"

The cries of despair were everywhere. Even more infuriating was that the Xilin No.1 High School audience and some West Union High School spectators who came to watch the show immediately started whistling and gloating.

The school leaders and guests of Nanling High School covered their foreheads, thinking about what excuse they could use to leave this cursed martial arts hall early.

But regardless of their feelings, the match still began.
