Xie Fei also plopped down on the ice, supporting himself with his hands on the ground, panting heavily without lifting his head.

The silver light in Gu Yue's eyes gradually faded. She blinked, looked at the two people in front of her who were barely breathing, and asked with a hint of doubt, "Why did you stop?"

Yu Tianheng looked at her, his voice slightly hoarse: "I admit defeat."

He once again felt that kind of blow that went deep into his bones.

Yu Tianheng sensed a familiar despair in Gu Yue. It was the despair he felt three years ago when he first saw Tang Shan, a Great Soul Master, forcefully suppress Xu Siyue, a Soul Master, and gain an absolute advantage.

For the past three years, he has been honing his spiritual strength and mentality day and night, believing that he has already developed a heart as firm as a rock.

But now I realize that I overestimated myself.

If Tangshan's strength is like a formidable chasm that can be seen at a glance, though towering into the clouds and seemingly unreachable, at least you can clearly see where that chasm lies.

Gu Yue's power is like a bottomless abyss, perhaps only a few meters deep, or perhaps an endless abyss.

One can only see, the other can't see anything, both of which give people a sense of despair.

"I concede defeat too."

Xie Fei, panting heavily, waved his hand. He hadn't thought that much about it. He was the one who started the trouble first, and now that he couldn't win, there was nothing shameful about admitting defeat.

Chapter 194 Unraveling the Reasons, Yu Tianheng's Fate

"Ok."

A hint of regret was clearly felt in Gu Yue's voice. She glanced one last time at the panting Xie Fei, then lightly touched the ground with her toes and leaped off the arena, walking gracefully towards Tang Shan's location.

Still reeling from the immense shock of Gu Yue's power, Dugu Yan stared blankly as the other woman walked up to Tang Shan with a smile and began chatting with him familiarly. A thought uncontrollably rose in her mind: Didn't they say they weren't familiar?

Yu Tianheng and Xie Fei helped each other off the stage. They subconsciously took a few steps toward Tang Shan, but when they saw Gu Yue beside Tang Shan, they stopped in their tracks.

Tang Shan glanced at the two of them and waved.

Yu Tianheng and Xie Fei exchanged a glance, and finally suppressed their apprehension, slowly moving towards them.

Tang Shan glanced at the gazes that were unconsciously gathering around him, and said to Gu Yue with some helplessness, "You come with me."

Gu Yue nodded and followed closely behind Tang Shan without any hesitation. Tang Shan took two quick steps, picked up Yu Tianheng and Xie Fei with one hand each, and then strode towards the outer edge of the playground.

Many onlookers were eager to see what would happen next, but due to Tang Shan and Gu Yue's terrifying strength, they forcibly suppressed their curiosity.

"So, are you going to take all five little ones out?"

Old Han watched the five people from Tangshan leave, then looked at Qin Ming beside him.

"No, Tangshan and Guyue don't need to be included."

Qin Ming shook his head.

"Their strength is too great. Taking them out to compete against opponents of the same level will not have any effect on their development. Rather than that, it is better to let them develop freely."

However, Tianheng, Xiefei, and that child from the Dugu family could go out and broaden their horizons with the future contestants. Oh, and isn't there Ye Lingling from the Nine Heart Begonia family? She could be taken along too.”

When do you plan to start?

"Next month, the three education committee members have already agreed. As for Tianheng and the others, there's no rush. It's not too late to go out after they reach the Soul Venerable level."

After all, a basic combat system can only be formed after reaching the Soul Master level, and the opponents at the Soul Master level provide a greater opportunity for honing one's skills.

……

In the spacious campus, Tang Shan waited until he emerged from the crowd of students before setting Yu Tianheng and Xie Fei down. Gu Yue, like a ghost, stayed close behind Tang Shan the entire time.

Dugu Yan gritted her teeth, looking at Gu Yue who was almost pressed against Tang Shan. An inexplicable anger rose in her heart, but after watching the battle just now, she was very clear about the chasm-like gap between herself and Gu Yue, and in the end, she was powerless to do anything about it.

Qian Renxue: You've finally met your match.

"How did you manage to confront Gu Yue?"

Tang Shan glanced at Gu Yue behind him and looked at the two of them with some curiosity.

Yu Tianheng remained silent, while Xie Fei, clutching his still throbbing arm, awkwardly scratched his head, unsure how to begin.

"Let me speak."

Gu Yue walked to Tang Shan's side and gestured towards Xie Fei's direction with her lips.

“I saw this fat guy once before when I came to the school to register with my elders.”

"Um, my name is Xie Fei."

Xie Fei tried to explain in a low voice, attempting to show that he still had a name, but Gu Yue's indifferent glance and the chill in her eyes silenced him instantly.

Seeing Xie Fei shut up again, Gu Yue was very satisfied and continued, "It's nothing much when we first meet. After all, you've met my elder in Tangshan. He's incredibly talented, so it's only natural to be stunned."

Upon hearing Gu Yue's words, Tang Shan knew who she was referring to. Of all the "family members" Gu Yue had met so far, only Di Tian and Bi Ji were truly exceptionally beautiful, and only Bi Ji could be described as such.

However, after hearing Gu Yue's introduction, he had some guesses about what would happen next, and his gaze toward Xie Fei became somewhat strange.

Gu Yue's subsequent words confirmed Tang Shan's suspicions, making him sigh inwardly: You, Xie Fei, are still the most stubborn.

"Later, when we came back to school, this fatso came up to us and started chatting us up. His eyes were so brazen and presumptuous as he stared at my elder." Gu Yue's voice turned cold. "So I taught him a lesson."

At this moment, Yu Tianheng, who had remained silent all along, finally couldn't help but speak up: "It's true that his eyes were a bit presumptuous, but you shouldn't have used such a heavy hand, right? If the teacher had arrived any later, Xie Fei's arm might have been crippled."

Clearly, Yu Tianheng was still dissatisfied with Gu Yue's merciless attack, which was why he insisted on stepping up to fight for Xie Fei in the arena.

He'll be alright.

Gu Yue glanced at Yu Tianheng, uttered five words lightly, and then, too lazy to waste any more words with him, turned and leaned towards Tang Shan.

"Yes, just cut off the hand, and everything will be fine then."

Yu Tianheng spoke calmly, but anyone could hear the strong sarcasm in his voice; he was clearly angered by Gu Yue's attitude.

"Cough cough."

Tang Shan coughed lightly twice at the right moment, temporarily interrupting Yu Tianheng's sarcasm, and explained to the group: "The elder who was with Gu Yue at that time should have been a healing-type Title Douluo."

Yu Tianheng?!

Evil Flight?!

Dugu Yan?!

All three of them were startled.

Yu Tianheng: No wonder Gu Yue dared to say Xie Fei would be alright, it turns out he has a healing-type titled Douluo backing him up! But when did a healing-type titled Douluo appear on the continent?

Xie Fei: A Title Douluo with healing abilities? Or is it that beautiful senior? So powerful, it only makes me more envious…

Dugu Yan: Damn it! She actually has a Title Douluo as her backer. This is a huge threat.

The three of them had their thoughts drifting at the same time, and then they raced off in three completely different directions.

Yu Tianheng, who was the first to come to his senses, still looked incredulous and frowned in disbelief: "A healing-type title? How is that possible? It has never been created on the continent before."

Tang Shan raised an eyebrow and retorted, "Does the absence of records mean it doesn't exist? Could it be that they're hiding and unwilling to see people easily?"

Yu Tianheng was speechless at Tang Shan's question, but then he thought about it again and grasped a key point. He looked at Xie Fei with a hint of doubt: "No, fatso, you shouldn't have such heavy tastes. A titled Douluo, how old would that be? Moreover, he's a support type, known for his slow cultivation. He's probably old enough to be our ancestor."

Xie Fei: Please just call me by my name, thank you.

Tangshan: It's probably several hundred thousand years old.

Faced with Yu Tianheng's question, Tang Shan answered skillfully: "The healing system is known for its outstanding vitality. Those who can cultivate to the level of a Title Douluo will only have even more terrifying and vigorous vitality. It is normal to have some special abilities to maintain a youthful appearance."

Yu Tianheng was completely speechless this time.

He knew in his heart that this time they came to cause trouble, and logically speaking, with the endorsement of a healing-type titled Douluo, Xie Fei was already in the wrong, and they had no reason to stand on the line at all.

In terms of power, Xie Fei's father was only an earl, far inferior to a titled Douluo. Even though he was the eldest grandson of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he couldn't possibly have a titled Douluo like his grandfather protecting him closely, but Gu Yue was able to do so.

Comparing these two points, the strength of the family behind Gu Yue is self-evident.

If neither reason nor force can stand up to him, what else can he say?

After a moment of silence, Yu Tianheng, being an upright man, bowed slightly to Gu Yue and said, "This time I was indeed reckless, and it was our fault."

Gu Yue didn't care at all. She just glanced at him and casually said, "Actually, there's an even simpler way to defeat you."

As soon as she finished speaking, a subtle yet extremely domineering dragon's might suddenly flashed from her body and disappeared.

Before Yu Tianheng could react, his body slumped to the ground uncontrollably, his clothes instantly soaked with cold sweat. Deep within his blood, a wave of submission surged, as if a voice was stirring, shouting, and roaring in his heart—submission!

He looked up at Gu Yue with a horrified expression, his eyes filled with disbelief. He never imagined that Gu Yue's martial spirit was so much stronger than his, and that it possessed such a terrifying suppressive ability!

Tang Shan watched this scene and couldn't help but twitch his lips: Yu Tianheng really kicked a hornet's nest today. Of all people to mess with, he had to mess with Gu Yue, who was his natural nemesis.

Xie Fei stepped forward, cupped his hands to Gu Yue, and said in a sincere and obsequious manner, "Boss Gu Yue, I was wrong. I am really guilty. I shouldn't have offended that senior in a moment of confusion. Please be magnanimous and don't hold it against me!"

A hint of confusion flashed in Gu Yue's eyes, clearly not understanding why he suddenly called him "boss".

Seeing this, Xie Fei quickly explained, deliberately ignoring the fiery look in Dugu Yan's eyes, and said in a very cheerful tone: "I originally recognized Tang Shan as my boss, thinking that his strength was heaven-defying and that he was a great asset."

Now that I see that you, Boss Gu Yue, are just as monstrous as Boss Tang Shan, easily defeating both me and Yu Tianheng, your strength is equally heaven-defying. How can I miss such a powerful figure!

Meanwhile, Xie Fei was making plans in his mind: if he could get on good terms with Gu Yue, he might be able to meet that healing-type title more often. Besides, Gu Yue herself was an absolutely perfect ally.

His father taught him from a young age not to fight and kill at the drop of a hat when he was out in the world, that a wise man knows when to yield, and that he should learn to curry favor with powerful people and be tactful in social interactions.

Xie Fei always kept his father's "earnest teachings" in mind.

Seeing Xie Fei's sensible demeanor, the silver dragon baby, whose actual age was unknown, felt a surge of satisfaction. His eyes curved into beautiful crescents, which was tantamount to acknowledging this new little brother.

"Tianheng, are you alright?"

The crowd looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young girl with her face covered by a light veil walking quickly from a distance. Her steps were hurried, and the anxiety in her voice was obvious.

Dugu Yan, who was sulking in the back, lit up when she saw the person coming. She rushed forward, took the girl's arm, and said affectionately, "Lingling, what brings you here?"

The person who arrived was Ye Lingling, who possessed the Nine-Heart Begonia Martial Soul.

She didn't even look at Dugu Yan; her gaze fell directly on Yu Tianheng, who looked disheveled, and her eyes were filled with worry.

"Yanyan, step aside first, let me check on Tianheng, is he injured?"

"Don't worry, your little man will be fine."

Seeing that she had successfully struck up a conversation, Dugu Yan felt a little less annoyed and stopped pestering him, letting go of his hand on her own initiative.

Ye Lingling paused slightly, her cheeks flushed almost imperceptibly, and the tips of her ears blushed faintly, but she did not refute Dugu Yan's words. Instead, she quickly walked to Yu Tianheng's side.

"Lingling, what brings you here?"

Yu Tianheng was somewhat surprised and subconsciously wanted to cover his wounds with his hands, not wanting her to see him in such a disheveled state.
