The comfort that came from lying on a bed made her relax. She instinctively covered herself with the blanket. Her nose made sniffing sounds as if she was smelling something. Then, her peaceful face reflected a contented expression as she fell into a deep sleep.

As he looked at her sleeping, Yue Zhengyu felt a sudden emotion welling up within his heart. He carefully tucked her in and caressed her wisps of silky hair. Only then did he move silently over to the sofa and lay down there.

When she wakes up tomorrow, she wont be keeping me company anymore. However, I wont let her tire herself out. If she cant keep me company, then Ill keep her company.

He appeared pleased after thinking that thought. He closed his eyes and fell asleep shortly.

Gu Yue lay flat on the bed as she could not sleep. She only stared silently at the ceiling and had no intention of cultivating either. She was not even sure why.

She was filled with anxiety and felt restless. Tomorrow would be the finals, and he would be facing Long Yue. She knew him too well. Even if he knew he was no match for Long Yue, he would still fight with all his might. He might even fight harder than Yue Zhengyu.

At a critical time like this, she had delivered him a devastating blow.

Actually, she knew that she should have done this way back. After all, there would be situations that they had to face together in the future. Such a day would come sooner or later. However, she had convinced herself that it was still early, and there was no need for her to rush.

However, with the passing of time, they grew up. Similarly, their strengths grew as well. The days passed, and it was getting progressively difficult for her to make a decision.

Sigh! Gu Yue thought gloomily. Maybe this was fated to be. Where in the world did his bloodline come from? It seemed that they were destined to meet in this whole wide universe. This was also the case for Naer.

What if its the will of the gods? There was a silver flash in Gu Yues eyes. If the gods forbade us to continue, Ill do away with them.

She sat up abruptly. Suddenly, the conversation between the two people that day reverberated in her mind.

In other words, the reason why youre close to me was because my bloodline is related to yours?

You can put it that way.

Really?

Yes, really!

I understand now.

Gu Yue!

What?

If youre saying that youve been close to me initially because of my bloodline, then, what about now? Is it still the case now?

It is!

The words spoken that day seemed to have lingered in her ears. Gu Yue felt intense pangs of guilt in her heart. She was feeling overwhelmed.

Lets put in more effort for tomorrows competition!

Early in the morning.

In the wee hours of the day, Tang Wulin was on the balcony cultivating his Purple Demon Eyes. Later, he freshened up and changed into a clean set of Shrek Academys dark green uniform.

Breakfast was as usual. In fact, he ate more than he normally would. All his comrades were present and everyones gaze was upon him.

Xu Lizhi, whose appetite was similar to his, had eaten a lesser amount today.

Whyre you all looking at me? Lizhi, eat up! Why arent you eating today? Tang Wulin had just grabbed another bun. He tore the bun into half and wedged a few large pieces of meat in it. Then, he began to chomp it down.

I say, captain, arent you feeling even a little nervous? Yue Zhengyu could not restrain his curiosity any longer as he posed the question.

Tang Wulin shrugged. Why should I feel nervous? This is not Douluo Continent. Besides, the entire population of Star Luo thinks that Ill lose. Im a four-ring going against a six-ring. Will it be embarrassing if I lost? I dont think so. So, why should I feel nervous?

Ye Xinglan looked at him with keen bright eyes, Youre thinking of giving up?

Tang Wulin met her gaze and smiled faintly, The glory of Shrek isnt secured by victory alone. Fresh blood will do as well.

After he said this, there was silence at the dining table.

Ye Xinglan lowered her head, Im sorry, I shouldnt have doubted you.

Tang Wulin smiled faintly, Everyone, eat up. Ill eat more too. We can only gain more strength by eating more, no?

Gu Yue sat beside him like she usually did. When she saw the smile on his face, she could not restrain herself from saying, Dont push yourself too hard.

Tang Wulin glanced at her, Im not pushing myself! As a matter of fact, theres nothing to push. Finish up eating, quickly!

Xie Xie laughed, Captain, your behavior is capricious. Everybody, finish up quick! He had no stress in him initially. So, lets not rile him up. Captain, you must do your best. In case you win by accident, you may even get a kiss. As he said this, he looked at Gu Yue, then he looked at Tang Wulin. He had a sneer on his face.

Tang Wulin said angrily, Youre always the garrulous one. Eat up quickly. In any case, I wont allow myself to be carried back by a woman.

Xie Xies expression changed. He was blushing a little. Thats nothing. Its the same regardless of whos carrying whom. Besides, shes an assault system whereas Im an agility system. Weve been different since birth.

Yue Zhengyu smiled. I heard that you now have a better understanding since that day. It seems that youve become even more shameless than before!

Xie Xie sneered. I cant even compare with you in terms of shamelessness. You acted as if you cant get off the bed yesterday, but youre shamelessly sitting here, brimming with energy. Can big brother not comment about second brother? Xiaoyan, you must be really careful when you befriend someone who thinks hes an adonis. Its difficult to tell their true colors.

Xu Xiaoyans delicate face blushed, but she did not make a sound. Currently, her heartbeat was faster than usual. When she opened her eyes that morning, she realized that she had been sleeping on Yue Zhengyus bed. His aura filled the blankets, but she felt that she had slept with additional security.

In the morning, she was too embarassed to face Yue Zhengyu. After she woke up, she ran back to her room. However, before she left, she threw the blanket on Yue Zhengyu who was lying on the sofa.

Xie Xie! Yue Zhengyu glared at him with gritted teeth.

Xie Xie chuckled. Dont lose your temper from being embarrassed!

Yue Zhengyu snorted and said, Anyway, Im better than you. I dont think you even have half a chance. You wont be able to defeat our class monitor in this lifetime.

Xie Xie glanced at Yuanen Yehui, but Yuanen Yehui ignored both of them. She was minding her own business and eating her breakfast.

One day, Im sure Ill be able to defeat her. Youd better believe it! Ive already understood the true essence of the agility system!

When he saw both of them bickering, a faint smile could be seen on Tang Wulins lips. He liked the feeling very much. Being together with his comrades all day long brought the rich feeling of being part of a family. This was what he enjoyed the most.

If everyones full, lets be on our way. Tang Wulin stood up and stretched his limbs. The bones of his entire body made cracking sounds.

He exuded an aura that was filled with the vigor of the sun which made his comrades feel the same way. He was vibrant and full of vitality. He was like a sleeping dragon that had just awakened and was stretching its body.

A soul car was already waiting for them outside. Today was the finals of the solo competition. To prevent unforseen complications and also to ensure the contestants arrived at the competition grounds on time, the official committee had dispatched private cars to pick them.

This match was regarded as the ultimate showdown between Monster Academy and Shrek Academy. All the contestants from both academies could enter the waiting area to watch the match.

The eight of them got into the car. The soul car started its engine. With security vehicles sandwiching them at the front and back, they headed straight to Star Luo Coliseum.

When the cars faded into the distance, a figure appeared silently in front of the entrance to the Royal Star Luo Hotel.

As usual, Wu Zhangkong was covered in white. At present, he had a faint glow flickering in his eyes.

Wulin, do your best!

Today, Star Luo Coliseum was not the only place that was swarming with people. It was packed like sardines even outside the coliseum. Every nice spot from which one could view the giant screen outside the coliseum was occupied. In order to get those spots, many of them were there the day before. Some of them had even set up camps.
