Douluo Continent: Ning Rongrong? Even a dog wouldn't chase her.

All she wanted was to be with Gu Yi forever, and all she wanted was for Gu Yi to never be in danger.

That's it, that's all.

Chapter 154 Feng Xiaotian Admits Defeat

"Don't worry, I'm back safe and sound now, aren't I?"

"I'm fine, it's just that I might have to leave you for a while, but I don't know exactly how long."

"It could take a long time, or it could be very soon."

Gu Yi definitely won't take Zhu Zhuqing with him when he goes to the City of Slaughter; it's not a good place.

If it weren't for the fact that the Asura God was there, he wouldn't have wanted to get involved.

"Can't you take me with you? I'm not afraid of difficulties, I'm only afraid of not having you by my side."

Zhu Zhuqing didn't want to ask why; she just wanted to go with Gu Yi.

No matter where.

"It's not a very dangerous place, it's just not suitable for you. You can just wait for me at the academy."

"When I come back, you will never have to worry about me again."

"Don't worry, I had this journey planned out in my mind long ago, I know exactly what I'm doing."

"There will be absolutely no danger. Even if there is, I can escape safely."

Gu Yi patted his chest and assured him.

"I understand. Go ahead and go. I'll be here waiting for you to come back."

"But before you leave, shouldn't you leave me something?"

"You've been a bit lax these past few days."

As she spoke, Zhu Zhuqing wrapped her arms around Gu Yi's neck and looked at him with deep affection.

"Heh~" Gu Yi naturally understood what Zhu Zhuqing meant and couldn't help but chuckle.

"If I underperform tomorrow, then it'll be your problem."

With that, Gu Yi picked Zhu Zhuqing up and quickly walked towards the bedroom.

Something happened today that did delay his grain delivery.

Therefore, Gu Yi plans to hand in all the papers he missed a few days ago this time!

……

The venue for the Papal Palace competition.

"Today is the final match of our Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament!"

"The winning team today will receive three ten-thousand-year soul bones and the title of champion!"

"Alright, enough with the chit-chat, please have the team captains come forward to draw lots."

Today, the person presiding over the entire event is a referee, while Bibi Dong sits high in the stands, smiling as she surveys everyone present.

As she expected, there were not as many people in the stands today as there were yesterday; almost half the number.

Excluding those groups who were worried about their own safety, what remained were those who wanted to deliver the message.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is a piece of fat meat that not only the Spirit Hall wants to eat, but those other people certainly won't sit idly by and wait to die.

However, they are ultimately a step behind. Gu Rong should already be integrating the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, right?

"Alright! The first match of the day will be between Gale Academy and Spirit Hall Academy. Heaven Dou Royal Academy will have a bye!"

"Please welcome both teams to the field!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Liena led Gu Yi and the others onto the arena.

This was something they had agreed upon long ago. During the finals, Hu Liena and the others would take the stage. They couldn't just let Gu Yi steal the spotlight while they remained invisible, could they?

"Huh? Is Gale Academy that strong? They actually managed to get the entire Spirit Hall Academy team to participate!"

"I don't know. When I watched the competition before, I thought they had some strength, but not enough to make all of them..."

"Shall we go on stage?"

"Anyway, as long as we have Gu Yi, that's enough. With that guy around, even if we all attacked together, we might not be able to win, okay?"

"Huh? Wait a minute, why isn't Gale Academy on the field yet? Are they planning to forfeit the match?"

"Hiss~ It really seems possible. It seems they really aren't planning to play!"

"..."

In the stands, everyone looked toward the Gale Academy's preparation area, only to find that they made no move, as if the match had nothing to do with them.

"Captain, are we really going to forfeit the match like this? It feels like it would be a bit embarrassing!"

"I think the captain's approach is correct. Anyway, we'll just get beaten up and lose face if we go up, so we might as well just give up."

"Yes, that's what I think too, I have no objection."

"I don't have any objection either."

On the side of the Gale Academy team, they basically believed that they had no chance in this battle. Since they would lose face either way, they might as well have some self-awareness.

"Okay, since you all think so, I'll go and explain it to the team leader."

Seeing that none of the team members had any objections, Feng Xiaotian prepared to talk to the team leader about the matter.

He didn't want to face Gu Yi right now; he still hadn't forgotten what happened at the pastry shop.

The gap between him and Gu Yi was simply too great; he had absolutely no chance of winning!

"Go, Captain."

"Yes, we all support you, Captain."

Upon hearing this, Feng Xiaotian no longer hesitated, quickly walked to the team leader's side, and whispered a few words in his ear.

"Is...is that so? Okay, I understand. This really isn't your fault."

The team leader's face showed a look of regret and helplessness, but he could only agree.

After saying that, he jumped down from the preparation platform, walked quickly to the referee's side, and said a few words softly.

"The Gale Academy team has forfeited! This match has been changed to the final match of this tournament!"

"Please welcome the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy to the stage!"

Because they forfeited, Gale Academy could only get third place.

Next, regardless of whether the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy succeeds or fails, there will be a second person to back them up.

"Do you think any of the members from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy will play?"

"I guess so? I remember their strength is actually a bit weaker than Gale Academy."

"But their teamwork is excellent. I remember they've managed to stay in this position because of their skillful teamwork."

"Cooperation? You're talking to me about cooperation when faced with absolute strength? Besides, do you really think the Spirit Hall team's cooperation is necessarily bad?"

"Alright, stop guessing, they've already taken to the field, and they're really tough!"

"..."

While the audience was still speculating wildly, Yu Tianheng and his group had already arrived on the arena.

They didn't want to admit defeat so easily. They were the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy; they could only be defeated, not admit defeat on their own!

"Come on! Gu Yi, let's see your strength!"

"Brothers, activate the martial spirit!"

Looking at the formidable opposing team, Yu Tianheng felt a surge of fighting spirit rising within him.

He knew he had no chance of defeating Gu Yi, but he was determined to fight today, even if it meant nothing.

Only in this way can we do justice to their arduous practice over the past year.

"Come on, Gu Yi, let me see just how big the gap is between you and me!"

As he spoke, Yu Tianheng and everyone behind him summoned their martial spirits.

But Gu Yi glanced at Yu Tianheng lazily, then said leisurely:

"You should first assess the gap between yourself and them before making any decisions."

"Today is their home game."

"As for me, I'm just a bystander."

As he spoke, Gu Yi lightly stomped his foot, activating his Soul Bone skill. Suddenly, the ground on the arena rose up, forming a chair resembling a throne.

Gu Yi leaned back lazily, his eyes already closed.

It wasn't that he disrespected Yu Tianheng and the others, but the battle last night was just too intense, and he was still recovering and really needed to rest.

Moreover, not only Yu Tianheng, but Hu Liena and the others also have a lot of fighting spirit!

Chapter 155 The Final Battle Ends

"Damn! Finally, I can play! I've been watching Gu Yi stomp on noobs every day, and it's really getting me itching to play!"

Yan cursed angrily, his eyes fixed on Yu Tianheng like a hungry wolf, as if he were prey.

"Alright, you'd better shut up. The opponent's lineup is quite formidable."

"This is the final, we have to do our best!"

Xie Yue had also endured for a long time, but he didn't act as dramatically as Yan.

“Brother is right. We need to show our value to His Holiness the Pope. Yan, you’d better cooperate with us today.”

Hu Liena's eyes were firm, and she secretly vowed to bring Bibi Dong a perfect victory!

"Both sides prepare to stop! The match begins!"
