“Would the two contestants please step onto the stage for the final match.”
The referee standing on the arena loudly announced.
Ye Ling and Zhang Shengnan, who were both resting in the break area, stood up simultaneously and walked towards the arena.
After half an hour, the originally damaged arena was restored to its pristine condition.
One must admit, having some level of technology is indeed very convenient in these situations.
Ye Ling and Zhang Shengnan walked side by side, with Ye Ling looking straight ahead.
Zhang Shengnan, however, kept her eyes fixed on Ye Ling, her gaze fierce and full of killing intent, as if she wanted to devour him.
“Finally, we get to face each other. This time, I’m going to teach you a lesson. Kid, I advise you to stay away from Xian’er, or else I’ll make sure you lose miserably.”
Just before stepping onto the stage, Zhang Shengnan made a bold declaration, as if she was absolutely confident of her victory.
Since they had been resting in the break area and had no contact with the outside world, Zhang Shengnan had no idea how Ye Ling had defeated Li Shengtian earlier.
If she knew that Ye Ling had crushed Li Shengtian, she probably wouldn’t have made such a bold statement.
Even if she were to face Li Shengtian, she might not necessarily come out unscathed.
Ye Ling didn’t respond to the threat. He merely glanced at Zhang Shengnan and walked directly to one side of the arena without saying a word.
“You…!”
Seeing that Ye Ling didn’t say a word and seemed to completely ignore her, Zhang Shengnan was furious.
“Hmph!”
With a heavy snort and a heart full of anger, Zhang Shengnan stormed to the other side of the arena.
She decided that she would make this guy who dared to ignore her pay.
From childhood to now, she had always been the one ignoring others. No one in Skyshine City had ever dared to ignore her.
Since both contestants were already on stage, the referee loudly announced.
“The next match is the final battle of this assessment: Ye Ling versus Zhang Shengnan. The winner will be the first place in this assessment.
Additionally, the first-place winner will receive a special reward from our principal, who is also the lord of the city.”
The referee’s sudden announcement surprised everyone present.
This was an extremely rare occurrence; the lord himself was going to reward the first-place winner.
“The lord’s reward?!”
“No way! How come we didn’t hear about this earlier?”
“Who knows? Maybe it was a last-minute addition. I’m betting on Ye Ling.”
“Of course! I’m also betting on Ye Ling. Is there even a question?”
“I’m betting on Ye Ling’s spiritual pet, hehe!”
“LSP…!”
…
Lord Shang Lingkong personally rewarding the first-place winner was something no one had expected. It had never happened before.
As for what the reward was, no one knew except Shang Lingkong himself.
Even the academy representatives hadn’t anticipated that Lord Shang Lingkong would have a special reward.
Seeing the sudden excitement around them, Huo Ling smiled.
“It seems our lord also has high hopes for Ye Ling.”
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the special reward Shang Lingkong mentioned was meant for Ye Ling.
Although there was still one final match, everyone believed that Ye Ling was undoubtedly going to win.
As for Zhang Shengnan, while she might not be weak, Ye Ling’s performance had far exceeded everyone’s expectations.
In comparison, Zhang Shengnan’s brilliance paled significantly.
Leaning back, Lu Feng said.
“Indeed, I just didn’t expect the lord to personally give a reward to the first-place winner. It’s not just an honor; it’s also a favor.”
This had never happened before; Shang Lingkong had never personally given a reward.
In this situation, it was a first.
No one knew what the reward was, but a reward from the lord of a city was certainly not going to be trivial.
Upon hearing that there was a reward from the lord, Ye Ling naturally became more excited.
This was like earning an extra bonus, even though he didn’t know how valuable it would be.
But since it was just a bonus, it was a win-win situation.
“Is this an extra reward? In that case, I won’t refuse it.”
“Blood Phantom! It’s the final match!”
Then, Ye Ling summoned Blood Phantom.
Blood Phantom, dressed in her Rainbow Blood Garment, appeared beside Ye Ling.
On the other side of the arena, Zhang Shengnan didn’t care about the lord’s reward.
As the daughter of the head of the Zhang family in Skyshine City, she lacked for nothing.
What she wanted most now was to defeat Ye Ling, make him suffer, and keep him away from Huo Xian’er.
“Appear, Storm Hawk!”
A gust of wind suddenly appeared beneath Zhang Shengnan, slowly lifting her up.
Under the influence of the wind, Zhang Shengnan rose into the sky, just like Feng Haotian had earlier.
The wind supporting Zhang Shengnan burst into a cyan light in the sky.
When the light dissipated, a cyan Storm Hawk appeared where the wind had been.
Compared to Feng Haotian’s Blue Bird, the Storm Hawk was more formidable and robust.
