Chapter 47 - The Reason for Falling into the Soak

Amidst the rustling sounds, several slender fingers emerged from the crack and hooked onto the edge of the ice, causing the entire block of ice to emit a series of fragile hums.

With a muffled crack, Qian Lingyun actually used the crack to pry open the layer of deep blue ice with her bare hands. She stumbled out of the ice and fell to the ground with a thud.

After catching her breath, she struggled to her feet, supporting herself on her knees. As she walked, she wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, muttering curses under her breath:

"Damn it, I went easy on you! You're playing the possessed card with me, aren't you! That son of a bitch, that fat worm, I'll catch you and feed you to my sickle one day!"

Seemingly sensing that Qian Lingyun's arrival was not well-intentioned, the proctor glanced at Huo Yuhao, who was weak and nearly fainting, and directly sent Huo Yuhao off the stage, announcing Qian Lingyun's victory.

Watching Huo Yuhao being carried away on a stretcher, Qian Lingyun could only complain a couple of times before stumbling and falling into Qian Renxue's arms.

"That bastard played dirty tricks!" Qian Lingyun complained to the person next to her, somewhat annoyed.

"Don't worry, he'll pay the price sooner or later, I said it." Qian Renxue raised her head and stared coldly in the direction Huo Yuhao left. Her cold, emotionless gaze made Ning Tian tremble with fear.

On the high platform, Yan Shaozhe looked at Huo Yuhao being carried away with an inscrutable expression, and said to Du Weiren beside him, "Pay close attention to this kid named Huo Yuhao. His aura just now was very strong... I have a feeling that he is not simple."

Mu Jin, who was behind her, glared fiercely at Zhou Yi, left a faint "I accept my loss" before leaping off the platform and heading straight for Qian Lingyun, who was still lying on the ground in the arena.

Over here, Qian Renxue held Qian Lingyun's body with concern, while Ning Tian went to find a healing-type soul master for her.

Seeing Qian Lingyun's deathly pale face, Mu Jin's expression also darkened. She asked Qian Renxue, "What happened to her? Is she badly injured?"

Qian Renxue shook her head expressionlessly and explained, "I checked her over. There's nothing seriously wrong, just exhaustion and a little... soul power entering her body. With her constitution, she'll be bouncing around again tonight."

"Phew, it's good that you're alright." Mu Jin wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and looked at the healing teacher that Ning Tian had brought in the distance.

The healing-type Soul Master gave a quick check-up, then left with a strange expression, saying, "It's nothing serious, just some cold air entering the body. Drink some hot water and sweat it out, and you'll be fine."

Hearing the professional teacher's answer, Mu Jin, both amused and exasperated, picked up Qian Lingyun from Qian Renxue's arms and said, "Come on, I'll take you back to rest."

After helping Qian Renxue settle Qian Lingyun into bed, Mu Jin and Ning Tian waited a full quarter of an hour before Qian Lingyun woke up yawning.

When she opened her eyes and got out of bed, she felt cold all over and really wanted to... really wanted to stick close to a warm stove to warm herself up.

Looking up and seeing Mu Jin standing by the window, Qian Lingyun couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. She stuck out her tongue at Qian Renxue and Ning Tian and whispered, "Teacher, what are you doing here?"

"I brought you back!" Mu Jin nodded to her and said gently, "You seem to be fine. You're still so energetic after taking such a hit. It's good that you're alright."

"Teacher, you've made back the meal you treated me to today! A whole set of level seven soul tools! Haha!" Qian Lingyun rested her chin on the edge of the bed and chuckled as she looked at Mu Jin.

"You! You're just being ridiculous." Mu Jin wanted to criticize Qian Lingyun, but she couldn't seem to find a reason to criticize her.

His looks, abilities, and physique are undeniable, and his physical fitness is ridiculously good. Although he's a bit eccentric, he's reliable. As for how he almost got knocked out by Huo Yuhao's trump card just now...

But you can't blame her. Who would have thought that a mere one-ring Soul Master could have such outrageous methods?

"They're in a much worse situation than me!" Qian Lingyun blinked, seemingly recalling something. She held up three fingers and calculated, "One has a shattered martial soul and needs a long time to recover, another... lost a million to me, and the last one... hmph, his meridians are damaged, and his soul power level has dropped by at least two levels!"

"Your soul power level dropped by two levels?" Ning Tian couldn't help but cover his mouth and exclaim in surprise.

"Of course," Qian Lingyun sneered, explaining, "How could such a method be used so casually? If every one-ring Soul Master had such a method, we wouldn't be able to survive!"

"I have something to do, you rest first. If you want to go out tonight, come to my office and I'll take you out to eat something else." Mu Jin checked the time and found that there was still some time before dinner. In order to let Qian Lingyun rest well, she got up and left dormitory 505 with Ning Tian.

After Mu Jin and the other woman left, the temperature in the room suddenly dropped several notches. Qian Renxue used the armrest to slip over and sit on the edge of Qian Lingyun's bed, then turned Qian Lingyun over and said, "Don't move around, let me expel the cold air from your bed."

"No need to trouble yourself..." Qian Lingyun twisted a couple of times, about to refuse, when a warm hand patted her shoulder blade.

"So comfortable..."

Under Qian Renxue's precise control, the golden angelic power slowly descended along her arm and flowed through Qian Lingyun's meridians, helping Qian Lingyun expel the cold energy from her body.

In just a quarter of an hour, the entire room was filled with mist, and a continuous stream of white steam billowed out from Qian Lingyun's mouth and nose, while large beads of sweat dripped uncontrollably down her cheeks.

She looked like a drowned rat, dripping wet from head to toe.

Another half hour passed, and Qian Renxue let out a long sigh of relief and withdrew her hand from Qian Lingyun's shoulder blade.

"Sister Xue, my bedding is soaked, I can't sleep, what should I do?"

After squeezing the water out of her hair, Qian Lingyun looked at her wet bed with a tearful expression, and then looked helplessly at Qian Renxue.

"If you don't mind, we..." Qian Renxue coughed twice, looking at her bed with an ambiguous expression. Qian Lingyun immediately understood and deliberately dragged out her words when answering, "Not—mind—? How could I—mind—you!"

"you…"

Exposed, Qian Renxue angrily tapped Qian Lingyun on the forehead, jumped off the bed, grabbed her coat, and left, leaving a bewildered Qian Lingyun staring into the closed door in deep thought.

On the other side, in the infirmary, Zhou Yi looked at the three beds in front of her with a gloomy expression.

After a while, the healing-type Soul Master finished checking the last one, walked up to Zhou Yi, and asked, "You're their teacher, right?"

"Yes, how are the three of them?" Zhou Yi asked anxiously.

The healing-type Soul Master pondered for a moment, then pointed at Wang Dong and said, "He's fine, just exhausted. He'll be alright after a good night's sleep. He'll be able to run and jump again after resting here for a day or two."

"As for the other two..." The healing-type soul master's face showed a hint of difficulty, and he comforted her, "That girl's martial soul is damaged, and she is seriously injured. She won't wake up for a while. I estimate... even if she wakes up, she will need to stay here for at least ten days to recover."

"As for the boy... he doesn't have any external injuries, just damaged meridians and his soul power level dropped by two levels... which may have a significant impact on his future. However, he has a good ability to adjust his soul power, so the problem is not too serious, and he will wake up soon."
