People are in the magic card, instigating rebellion against the world.

Chapter 146: I wonder which tycoon is so rich and capricious.

Sakura let go of Yukito and rushed over to Hikaru and Tomoyo, opening her arms wide: "Hikaru-kun! Tomoyo-chan! We're both champions! Waaaa, I'm so happy~!"

Seeing this, Ye Hui couldn't help but smile and open his arms.

Sakura-chan has a habit of hugging people when she's happy; when will she be able to change that...?

Seriously, then let's give Sakura a warm hug.
However, before he could figure it out, Sakura bypassed him and grabbed Tomoyo, who was standing next to him, and hugged her tightly.

The two girls hugged tightly, and Sakura was still whispering in Tomoyo's ear.

Ye Hui silently withdrew his arm, which had been hanging in mid-air, feeling a little helpless.

It's normal that Tomoyo is still the higher priority.

He wasn't disappointed at all.

Really.

It's not like I haven't hugged her before.

At worst, we can find another opportunity to get it back privately later.

Tomoyo was hugged by Sakura for a while before she gently patted her back and said with a smile, "Okay, Sakura, we still need to go collect our prizes."

Sakura then let go of Tomoyo's hand and ran towards the podium with Tomoyo's hand.

Ye Hui and Xue Tu followed behind, watching the two girls' cheerful figures from behind, and smiled slightly.

"Now, please welcome our two champion teams to the stage to receive their awards!"

The host's voice was broadcast throughout the square via the loudspeakers.

A round of enthusiastic applause immediately erupted from the audience, who all stood on tiptoe, eager to see what the two champions looked like.

Ye Hui held Tomoyo's hand, while Sakura followed Yukito, carrying the relief sculpture.

The four of them walked together onto the makeshift podium to receive the award.

Sunlight streamed onto the red carpet, and the surrounding area was bustling with noise and activity.

However, as soon as they stood still, the host approached them with a microphone, looking embarrassed and speaking in a lower voice.

"Um... I'm sorry, champions."

He pointed to the gift box on the table next to the podium.

Inside the transparent box were the packaging box for the latest game console and a two-person hot spring trip voucher.

"Because we did not anticipate a tie for first place, we only prepared one prize for the champion."

Sakura's smile faltered for a moment, and she subconsciously looked at Ye Hui, before she could even process what she was doing.

Then a person wearing a dark blue staff uniform rushed onto the stage, holding a piece of paper in his hand, and whispered a few words into the host's ear.

The host's eyes lit up instantly, and he immediately picked up the microphone, his voice even more excited than before: "Ladies and gentlemen! I have some fantastic news to share! Just now, we received a notification that a mysterious sponsor, who wishes to remain anonymous, has decided to add an extra prize for the champion of this competition!"

As soon as he finished speaking, another staff member walked onto the stage carrying an identical gift box and gently placed it on the table.

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +10】

The audience erupted in cheers again, and the chatter grew even louder.

"A mystery sponsor? That's so cool!"

"This is incredible luck! Not only did they tie for first place, they also got two prizes!"

"I wonder which rich person is so extravagant and capricious."

"Speaking of which, today's celestial phenomena were quite amazing! The sun and moon were shining together? How beautiful!"

Sakura looked at the two gift boxes with a look of surprise and delight, her eyes sparkling, without giving a second thought to who the so-called mysterious sponsor was.

Ye Hui slowly took out his phone from his pocket. On the screen was a text message he had just received, containing only a simple sentence.

"The task you assigned has been completed."

He glanced at it quickly and discreetly put his phone away.

Problems that can be solved with money are never really problems.

What's more, it makes the people around you happy, so this little bit of money is well spent.

[As the despicable and shameless mastermind, you chose to manipulate the outcome of the sect competition using dirty spirit stones! Seeing the overjoyed expression of the Heavenly Spirit Root disciple, Kinomoto Sakura, and the tender affection of her protector, Daidouji Tomoyo, you felt the spirit stones were well spent!]

Ye Hui chuckled.

That's called thoughtfulness, not manipulation!
"Let's give another round of applause to all the contestants for their outstanding performances! And thank you to our mystery sponsor for their support! The first Tomoeda Town Riddle and Adventure Contest has now come to a successful conclusion!"

As the host's voice faded, colorful ribbons sprayed from the confetti cannons in the square, landing on the podium, bringing the atmosphere to its peak.

After receiving their prizes, the four of them stepped off the stage and were immediately surrounded by Chiharu, Naoko, Yamazaki, and their group at the edge of the square.

"Sakura! You guys are amazing! You actually tied for first place!" Chiharu looked at Sakura with admiration, and even reached out to touch the game console gift box in Sakura's hand. "And there's an extra prize from a mystery sponsor, this is just like something out of a novel!"

“Yes, yes!” Naoko nodded excitedly. “I was just worried that there wouldn’t be enough prizes to go around, but I didn’t expect to get a surprise so soon. I’m so lucky! I wonder who the mystery sponsor is. It’s amazing!”

Sakura blushed slightly at the praise, scratched her head shyly, but couldn't suppress her smile: "Hehe... not really, it's all thanks to Yukito-kun and Ye Hui-jun, otherwise I definitely wouldn't have been able to get through so many levels."

As she spoke, she shook the gift box in her hand, "And you can also get a game console, so you can play with everyone in the future!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Hui couldn't help but purse his lips.

Play together?

I reckon if I take it back, it'll be snatched away by some mascot that's nominally a fighting partner but is actually just a glutton.

Tomoyo stood beside Ye Hui, watching Sakura's happy expression, then looked at the hot spring travel voucher in her hand, and turned to Ye Hui to ask in a low voice, "Ye Hui-kun, can we go together sometime with this travel voucher?"

Ye Hui smiled and nodded: "Of course, I'll do whatever you say."

For a moment, the sunlight fell on the two of them, and the surrounding noise seemed to become background noise.

Ye Hui and his group had not gone far from the square.

They encountered Li Xiaolang and Li Meiling again at the stall in the first level.

The two looked somewhat disheveled.

Li Meiling's tracksuit sleeves were stained with mud, her hair was a mess, and she was clutching a crumpled piece of paper in her hand.

It seems to be the same puzzle as the first level, where you arrange matchsticks into stars.

Li Xiaolang's forehead was sweaty and his brows were tightly furrowed, while Li Meiling was so angry that her nose looked bigger than usual.

"What on earth does this mean?!" Li Meiling couldn't help but get frustrated when she saw them, almost tearing the note in her hand. "Make another star with ten matchsticks... What is that other star? I guessed it: Babylonia, Orion, the Big Dipper, but it's Kinomoto's brother, that guy! He just won't let us pass!"

She and Li Xiaolang tried every star shape they could think of, but Touya just said it wasn't right and didn't give them any hints.

The two were stuck on the first level for a long time, and even after the champion appeared, they still hadn't seen a glimpse of the second level!

Until they saw that Sakura and Tomoyo were holding identical championship gift boxes.

Li Meiling's brain went blank for a moment, her eyes wide open: "You...you guys..."

"What's wrong with us?" Xiao Ke poked her head out of Xiao Ying's backpack, a piece of unfinished spiritual food still in her mouth.

After completing the filming, it lay in its backpack with snacks in its arms. Although it couldn't sleep and eat at the same time, it was still quite comfortable to eat while lying down.

It wagged its little yellow paws, looking smug: "Of course we're the champions! Unlike some people who can't even get past the first round, they're such losers."

"What did you say! You winged, shit-yellow rag doll!" Li Meiling immediately bristled and reached out to grab Xiao Ke, but was gently pulled back by Li Xiaolang.

"Isn't what I said true?" Xiao Ke nimbly hid back in her backpack, only her head peeking out. "A few riddles are a piece of cake for my Xiao Ying and that brat Ye Hui! And you dare call me a shit-yellow doll? Humph, you have no manners!"

"You!" Li Meiling was so speechless that her face turned red, her chest heaving slightly, but she couldn't find any words to refute it.

After all, they were indeed stuck at this first hurdle and hadn't made any progress.

[Li Xiaolang's Mood Value +10]

[Li Meiling's mood score +12]

Ye Hui secretly rejoiced.

Thanks to Xiao Ke for the assist.

Well, he really didn't mean to tease those two; he hasn't said a word to them yet.

There's nothing we can do; they're just so useless.
The two of them were still sulking there, looking like pitiful little things.

Ye Hui felt that he should take pity on them and answer their questions.

"Actually, that question was very simple."

Ye Hui spoke slowly, walked to the table next to him, picked up the remaining matchsticks, and skillfully manipulated them with his fingers, creating a neat "star" character on the table.

"The other star is this word 'star'—the question didn't say it had to be the shape of a star in the sky, so all the constellations you guessed are naturally wrong."

Li Meiling: "..."

Li Xiaolang: “…”

The two stared at the word "star" on the table, their minds blank.

So the answer was just such a simple word game?
They racked their brains trying to figure out the various shapes of stars, but never thought of writing them down.

When he finally realized what had happened, he was filled with regret and speechlessness, his face turning pale and then red.

[Li Xiaolang's Mood Value +25]

[Li Meiling's mood score +28]

Ye Hui looked at the emotion value displayed by the system and felt very satisfied.

This is a huge windfall!
Seeing their disappointed looks, Sakura quickly stepped forward to comfort them: "It's okay, it's just a game. We can participate together again next time and work hard together."

"Who...who wants to work hard with you!" Li Meiling retorted stubbornly, but the anger in her tone had subsided considerably.

She grabbed Li Xiaolang's arm and ran out of the square without looking back, "Hmph, let's go! Next time, Xiaolang and I will definitely be better than you guys—!"

Watching the Li siblings' departing figures, Sakura turned around, blinked, and looked at Ye Hui and Tomoyo, saying expectantly, "The match is over, shouldn't we go celebrate? I just saw a newly opened cake shop next to the plaza, we can go there for cake! Or whatever you all like to eat, I'm fine with that~"

After Ye Hui and Zhi Shi nodded happily, Xiao Ying hurriedly ran to invite Chiharu, Naoko, and Yamazaki, who were not far away.

"Rika! Chiharu~ Let's go eat something delicious together!"

Seeing Sakura's cheerful expression, Tomoyo turned to Ye Hui and smiled gently, "Then let's celebrate! Let's go together."

Ye Hui nodded and gently brushed away the ribbon crumbs clinging to her shoulder: "Okay, whatever you say."

The sun is shining brightly, and I'm surrounded by people I like and lively friends.

To be honest, these post-match moments are much more heartwarming than simply winning a so-called championship.

"Yay! A big meal!" Chiharu, Naoko, and Rika immediately raised their hands in agreement, their eyes full of anticipation.

They had been running all day and were starving.

However, at this moment, Yamazaki spoke with a serious expression: "Speaking of celebrations, do you know that the earliest celebration rituals originated from the sacrificial activities of primitive tribes?"

"Back then, people would express their gratitude to the gods for their blessings through singing, dancing, sacrifices, and sharing food, and pray for favorable weather and abundant harvests in the coming year..."

"Yes, yes, Yamazaki-kun, we understand." Chiharu skillfully interrupted his explanation, reaching out to pull him outside. "We'll hear about the history of the celebration next time. Let's go eat something delicious now. If we eat cake any later, all the good flavors will be gone!"

Snow Rabbit had something to do in the afternoon, so he said goodbye to everyone at the square.

When Sakura saw him off, there was still a hint of disappointment on her face.

But the thought of having a meal with friends is something to behold.

She quickly forgot about that little bit of emotion and skipped and hopped into the cake shop with everyone else.

They chose a large table by the window, and soon after they sat down, the dishes they ordered began to be served one after another.

Strawberry cake, chocolate mousse, tuna sandwiches, and several steaming cups of various milk teas were laid out on the table.

Xiao Ke couldn't contain herself any longer. She secretly hid under the table, poked her little head out, and stared longingly at the cake on the table, her mouth practically watering.

"Sakura, where's your championship prize? Show it to us!" Chiharu asked curiously, taking a bite of her sandwich while glancing at Sakura's bag.

"Hi!" Sakura smiled as she placed the gift box in the center of the table and gently opened it.

Inside lay a brand-new game console, next to which was a travel voucher with a picture of a hot spring hotel.

"Wow! It really is the latest game console! I saw it in the store before, and I really wanted to buy it!" Naoko came over.

"And there are hot spring travel vouchers! It's for that hot spring hotel in Hakone! It's very famous!" Rika recognized it too, her tone envious. "My mom wanted to go last time, and she booked a month in advance, but she still couldn't get a room! I heard that the open-air hot spring there is amazing, and you can soak in the hot spring while watching the stars at night!"

"Soaking in a hot spring while watching the stars..." Sakura held the travel voucher, and the scene was already beginning to unfold in her mind.

In the night, the hot spring steamed, a sky full of stars overhead, and all around...

She subconsciously muttered to herself, "I'm with Brother Snow Rabbit..."

Are Ye Huijun and Zhi Shi Jiang together?
This arrangement...

Sakura secretly glanced at Ye Hui and Tomoyo beside her.

The two were huddled together, whispering something.

Tomoyo smiled faintly, and Ye Hui nodded occasionally.

The two seemed to have a remarkable understanding.

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +9]

"Sakura? What are you thinking about? Why are you spacing out again?" Tomoyo noticed her gaze, turned her head and asked with concern, secretly slipping a piece of uneaten strawberry cake under the table.

Xiao Ke snatched it away instantly and hid in her backpack to steal a bite.

"Huh? No...nothing!" Sakura quickly waved her hand, trying to explain in a way that made her look like she was trying to cover up her mistake. "I was just thinking, should we bring our own yukatas when we go to the hot springs..."

Ye Hui suppressed a laugh and teased her on purpose, "Sakura, your question is quite novel."

"Are we going to the hot springs without bringing yukatas? Are we supposed to just wrap ourselves in towels?"

"I...I didn't mean that!" Sakura's cheeks instantly turned as red as a ripe apple, and she quickly lowered her head, covering her face with her milk tea cup.

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +10]

[Watching the excited expressions of Kinomoto Sakura, a disciple of the Heavenly Spiritual Root, and Daidouji Tomoyo, a guardian deity, about their upcoming hot spring trip, you feel a wicked sense of satisfaction. Using a tainted spirit stone, you've created the perfect date opportunity for yourself and them! You're determined to use this chance to successfully turn them against you!]

Ye Hui ignored the system's exaggerated description and simply felt relaxed and happy.

If it makes everyone happy, then the money is well spent.

After the dinner party.

Ye Hui returned to his villa, slumped on the sofa, and looked at the darkening sky outside the window, a smile involuntarily creeping onto his lips.

Next up is a trip to China, including a hot spring trip with Tomoyo and Sakura.

Both holiday trips were planned out in detail.

Such days couldn't be more pleasant.

"System, I feel like I've reached the pinnacle of my life." Ye Hui rarely spoke to the system.

Unfortunately, the system continued to pretend it was not in its right mind and did not even respond.

Ye Hui didn't mind. He got up and went to the refrigerator to get a drink, already starting to think about what to bring for the hot spring trip.

Make sure Tomoyo has a happy holiday!

While the system didn't respond, a log message silently popped up: "[You've actually developed a lack of ambition! This is a disgrace to a great demon! A little pleasure has made you forget your mission as a cultivator! True powerhouses dedicate all their time to the arduous task of cultivation!]"

Ye Hui pursed his lips.

He couldn't be bothered to argue with this idiotic system. Suddenly remembering the matter of the Spirit Medicine Small World, he couldn't help but ask, "Check the repair progress of the Spirit Medicine Small World."

Judging by the timeline, it should be almost fixed by now.

[The Spirit Medicine Mini-World is undergoing a profound transformation, currently at 90% completion! It is estimated to take another seven days before it can reopen.]

Oh wow! Only seven days left!
He had been waiting for this day for so long, it felt like the flowers had withered.

I wonder what the small world will look like after this upgrade.

What will be the unexpected surprise the system mentioned earlier?
Despite his excitement, Ye Hui didn't forget his business.

The final judgment is drawing ever closer.

Although he was confident he could help Sakura overcome her difficulties, it was always good to do more preparation.

With that thought in mind, he didn't delay any longer, immediately sat down cross-legged, and began a new round of cultivation.

……

A week has passed quietly.

For Ye Hui, this was probably the most leisurely week since he transmigrated.

No Clow Cards caused any trouble, and no strange missions were issued by the system.

Every day, he goes to and from school with two lovely girls, Sakura and Tomoyo. His days are peaceful and warm.

In the classroom, the teacher lectures from the podium.

Ye Hui took advantage of the gaps to secretly cultivate.

As one's consciousness circulates, spiritual energy will slowly flow through the body.

During lunch break, he, Sakura, and Tomoyo sat on a bench on the rooftop, sharing their lunchboxes.

Sakura would chatter on about the funny things that happened in class, while Tomoyo would listen quietly, occasionally adding a word or two.

Ye Hui would occasionally crack a joke to liven up the atmosphere and earn some emotional points in the process.

The sunlight shone on the three of them, making them feel warm and cozy.

Wait until after school.

He would either accompany Tomoyo to the choir or wander around taking walks.

Or take them to the secret realm to challenge the Tower of Trials and guide them on the details of their training.

That day, Thursday evening, after school.

The three of them arrived at the Tower of Trials again.

Standing at the foot of the tower, Ye Hui looked at the two expectant figures before him and announced with a smile, "Today we're going to have some different training."

"Different training? What is it?" Sakura's eyes lit up, and she curiously leaned closer.

Ye Hui snapped his fingers, and a slight movement of spiritual energy caused a faint light to emanate from the open space in front of him, slowly revealing a figure that looked exactly like him.

Wearing the same school uniform, even his expression was exactly the same as his gentle demeanor at this moment.

"Huh? Another Ye Hui-kun?" Sakura paused for a moment, then immediately remembered the fake Ye Hui she encountered in the magic book last time. She subconsciously took half a step back and asked in a low voice, "He...he won't say anything strange again, will he? That last one was really weird and scary."

"No, and besides, it wasn't me last time."

Ye Hui remembered the pirated version that spouted dark power last time and wanted to find the four-eyed guy behind it all and beat him up.

"Today's training is simple: the two of you team up to defeat this clone of mine."

"Eh?! You want to fight Ye Hui-jun?" Sakura's eyes widened instantly, and a hesitant look appeared on her face. "But... but I don't want to fight Ye Hui-jun."

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +6]

Even knowing that this was just a clone of Ye Hui, an illusion, she still couldn't bring herself to do it.

Ye Hui is always helping her, so it feels a bit strange to have to use magic on his "shadow" now.

“It’s just training, Sakura.” Ye Hui saw her concerns and said with a smile, “My clone will only use basic spiritual energy defense and attack methods, and will not hurt you. Just think of it as practicing your coordination. And Tomoyo will be with you too, so you can try out new tactics.”

Tomoyo nodded in agreement, looking at Sakura: "Let's do our best together, just like when we cleared the tower before, it'll be fine."

Upon hearing this, Sakura finally nodded: "Then... alright then!"

Ye Hui smiled and said, "Besides, Sakura-chan, you've fought me before, so don't hold back. Just attack it with all your might. My clone will adjust its defense according to your strength and won't hurt you. Of course, it won't be defeated by you so easily either."

"Yes!" Sakura took a deep breath, nodded vigorously, and gripped her wand tightly in her hand.

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +6]

Tomoyo also composed herself, her eyes becoming focused, spiritual energy gathering at her fingertips as she assumed a fighting stance, ready to coordinate with Sakura's attack at any moment.

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +5】

And so, a special two-on-one training session officially began in the open space of the secret realm.

Ye Hui separated half of his primordial spirit to control the clone.

The main body then retreated to sit on a nearby rock, allowing it to observe the coordination between the two and adjust the strength of the clone at any time.

"Ready?" Ye Hui's clone beckoned to the two of them with his finger, his voice exactly the same as Ye Hui's real voice, but with just the right amount of provocation.

"Ready!" Sakura shouted back.

"Then, let's begin."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Hui's clone vanished from the spot.

"So fast!" Sakura subconsciously looked around, her heart pounding instantly, and she gripped her wand even tighter.

"Sakura, watch out above!" Tomoyo's voice rang out just in time.

She had been keeping an eye on Ye Hui's clone's aura and quickly caught the movement above their heads.

Ye Hui's clone indeed appeared directly above Xiao Ying, holding the Qingfeng Sword in his hand, and gently slashed down in Xiao Ying's direction.

Ye Hui himself watched from the side, feeling slightly surprised.

How did Tomoyo-chan find him so quickly?

Could it be that I'm too familiar with his aura?

Sakura reacts extremely quickly.

The moment he heard Tomoyo's reminder, he summoned a circular magic shield, which steadily blocked the air above his head.

boom!
A soft sound.

Ye Hui's clone's sword landed on the shield.

Sakura was pushed back several steps by the impact before she could barely regain her balance.

"Sukuruichi!" Sakura stared in shock at Ye Hui's clone above her, her breathing becoming rapid. "Ye Hui-kun's speed and strength are both incredible!"

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +15]

She had known for a long time that Ye Hui was very strong, but experiencing his attack up close and firsthand was still unbelievable.

Before Ye Hui's clone could act again, Zhi Shi had already made her move.

She waved her hand from left to right, and dozens of transparent water whips rose from the ground, wrapping around the clone in mid-air at tricky angles, perfectly blocking the clone's evasion route.

However, the clone simply leaped lightly, its body twisting nimbly in the air, and avoided all the water whips.

Hmm... bondage...

Ye Hui's clone could even reach out and touch the end of one of the water whips before slapping it away: "Is that all? That's too disappointing."

"Disappointed? I won't disappoint you!" Sakura's fighting spirit was ignited by this lighthearted provocation. She tightened her grip on her wand, determined not to give in.

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +13]

She turned to look at Tomoyo, her voice firm: "Tomoyo, let's go!"

"Yes, sir!" Tomoyo nodded immediately.

The two exchanged a glance, and without needing to say much, their existing understanding allowed them to instantly clarify their roles.

Zhi Shi clasped her hands together, and the water elements gathered in her palms quickly intertwined to form a semi-transparent water sphere, which shot towards Ye Hui's clone.

The water sphere continued to absorb power in the air, expanding steadily until it finally trapped the clone inside, turning it into a cage with rippling water on its surface, firmly locking his movements.

Sakura seized the fleeting opportunity, swiftly raising her wand, the tip aimed at the center of the water sphere, and a crisp sound rang out in the secret realm: "Thunder!"

A thick bolt of pale purple lightning struck down, hitting the water sphere precisely.

"Zi la——!"

The sound of electricity mingled with the steam, and the entire water sphere sparkled with electricity.

Ye Hui's clone did not immediately resist, but simply stayed quietly in the water sphere, feeling the power of the intertwined electric current and water elements.

"Did it work?" Sakura took two steps forward, standing on tiptoe to look at the water sphere, her eyes filled with anticipation and uncertainty.

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +7]

Tomoyo gently shook her head, still maintaining the posture of controlling the water sphere, and said seriously, "No, I can still clearly feel Ye Huijun's aura. He is perfectly fine now, and he is about to break free from the restraints I created in the water prison."

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +6】

Ye Hui himself watched from the side, and couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

As expected, Tomoyo-chan had already memorized his scent!

Even a clone couldn't escape her perception.

next second.

The water balloon shattered with a "bang".

Ye Hui's clone leaped out from it, without a single drop of water on his body.

He looked at the two girls and smiled approvingly: "Not bad, their teamwork is excellent, I give them 80 points."

"What?!" Sakura pouted, somewhat unconvinced. "Our attack was so powerful just now, and we only got 80 points?"

She thought that this all-out attack would at least cause Ye Hui's clone some minor losses and trouble.

And yet, not a single hair on their head was hurt?
This gap is too big!
It made her feel a little frustrated.

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +7]

"Ye Hui-kun, what should we do next to do better?" Zhi Shi didn't dwell on the so-called score, but humbly asked for advice, looking intently at Ye Hui's clone, wanting to know the direction for improvement.

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +6】

Ye Hui snapped his fingers, and his clone took two steps forward, relaxed yet serious: "Just keep attacking, don't worry about the moves, until you can leave a mark on me—whether it's a magical mark or an elemental mark, as long as you can leave a mark."

"Huh? Are you...are you going to hurt Ye Hui-jun?" Upon hearing this, Sakura's newly ignited fighting spirit weakened slightly, and she hesitated, gripping her wand. "But...even if it's an illusion, this face is still Ye Hui-jun's. I can't bring myself to do it..."

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +7]

"Sakura, you must remember this."

Ye Hui immediately became serious. "This is just training, but in a real battle, being merciful to the enemy is being cruel to yourself and those around you!"

"Now that you're being lenient with me, when we're really in danger, your hesitation will cause you to miss the chance to retaliate!"

Seeing Ye Hui's serious expression and recalling the danger they had encountered earlier, Sakura finally nodded firmly, her eyes regaining their resolve: "Yes! I understand!!"

She turned to look at Tomoyo, clenched her little fist, and said, "Tomoyo, let's do it again! This time we must play even better together and impress Ye Huijun!"

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +6]

"Yes!" Tomoyo nodded vigorously, gathering her spiritual power once more, her eyes focused. "This time, let's try to disrupt his vision first, then use lightning magic to attack his weaknesses!"

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +5】

"Water Mist!" Tomoyo made the first move, pushing her hands forward. A thick white mist instantly rose from the ground, quickly spreading throughout the entire area and completely enveloping Ye Hui's clone, reducing visibility to a minimum in an instant.

"Trying to use the fog to interfere with my judgment? Interesting." Ye Hui's voice came from within the white fog.

It's obvious that Tomoyo has always focused on practicing magic, and her use of spiritual power, while not exactly meticulous, is at least effortless.

The fact that this thick fog appeared so suddenly is enough to demonstrate the efforts Tomoyo-chan has been making behind his back!
Ye Hui did not try to open his eyes to search, but instead gently closed them, and his divine sense instantly spread out.

The surrounding airflow changes and water vapor flows.

Even Sakura and Tomoyo's breathing rhythms were clearly perceived by him.

"Wind!" Sakura's voice rang out immediately afterward.

Immediately, a sharp wind blade attacked from the side of the white mist, whistling as it swept towards Ye Hui, attempting to launch a surprise attack while he couldn't see clearly.

Ye Hui's clone simply raised his hand to block, and an invisible spiritual energy barrier instantly unfolded.

"boom!"

With a soft sound, the wind blade struck the barrier and vanished instantly.

“Water Dragon!” Tomoyo’s voice followed closely behind.

The sound of water rushing and converging could be heard from within the white mist.

A giant dragon formed from water elements suddenly burst forth, its body thick and strong, its blood-red maw wide open, carrying whistling water vapor as it pounced towards Ye Hui.

This was a pre-arranged plan between her and Sakura: first, use the wind blade to attract attention, then use the water dragon to launch a fatal attack.

This move is very useful when dealing with monsters in the Tower of Trials.

"The teamwork this time was much better than before."

Ye Hui remained calm and composed, refraining from a showy, head-on confrontation. Instead, he moved lightly, his body as swift as a willow catkin, and with a nimble dodge, he narrowly avoided the water dragon's attack.

The water dragon did not dissipate immediately; instead, it changed direction and followed closely behind him, its claws constantly reaching for his back.

"Ye Huijun, don't even think about running away!" Xiaoying's voice, tinged with smugness, came from the mist.

She was manipulating the wind element with her mind, subtly altering the airflow to limit Ye Hui's evasion range, and incidentally assisting Zhi Shi's water dragon in causing even greater damage.

She was even using the water card at the same time, but not to attack alone; instead, she was focusing all her efforts on enhancing the power of the water dragon.

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +4]

Ye Hui's clone deliberately slowed down, weaving and dodging through the mist, occasionally having to avoid attacks from the water dragon behind him.

Caught between them, he actually looked rather disheveled.

"Haha~ Looks like I'm really going to be stuck with you guys if I don't show you some real skills~"

Ye Hui stopped in his tracks, no longer dodging, and slowly raised his right hand, a dazzling ball of lightning beginning to condense in his palm.

The lightning grew brighter and brighter, accompanied by crackling electrical sounds, and the surrounding air seemed to be ionized and slightly heated.

"Five thunders rectify the law!"

With a soft shout, he twisted his wrist, and the lightning in his palm instantly transformed into several thick bolts of lightning, striking the water dragon behind him.

"Fuck-"
