Most of the audience start to feel weird when they saw the boy who's talking high and mighty to his opponent immediately stop talking and pass out not long after that. Only some of those experts can see why the young boy suddenly passed out while his opponent kept her weapon and ignored him before going to her own stages to recuperate.
"Oho, it seems that the girl is pretty adept with illusion."
"Seeing the state the boy's in right now, I'm sure that she kill him inside that illusion, what a fierce girl!"
"That's his own fault for saying that she didn't dare to kill him! Now, this is what I call you dig your own graves."
Yes, all that happens before is just an illusion, for Yin Yu didn't truly kill Chu Lai, and Chu Lai didn't really get beheaded by Yin Yu as its all is just an illusion. If it's not because of the word he said that 'Yin Yu didn't dare to kill him' which irk Yin Yu, Yin Yu might not go through all of this to tire himself.
Yin Yu has start to regret a little using that technique as it consumes a lot of his qi and makes his face pale after just a few seconds of using the technique. Yin Yu who just returned to his stage can't feel bothered by any other matter now as he immediately eats some pills, sits cross-legged and starts to absorb qi which let his pale complexion regain their color before it returned to their original color.
"I should refrain from using Yin Domain in the future…."
Yes, the technique which shows illusion before is the Yin Domain which is the last technique he haven't mastered as this technique is too tiring to use! Just activating the technique for a second will take a lot of his qi which was why Yin Yu never try to use this technique in real battle. Yin Yu never try this technique on human and was pretty curious of its usage which was why he decided to experiment this technique on Chu Lai after he heard his words, look and behold as Yin Yu becomes satisfied after using that technique because he can act cool against the enemies he kills in his illusion which make him determine to become stronger all so that he can act cool in front of the people he can't kill and get the taste of getting killed by him!
While Yin Yu is recuperating, the Fourth Match has already begun as Qi Rui, and Li Mao has started attacking each other. Qi Rui uses a sword that looks like Katana while Li Mao uses a Spear which in line with his physique The Spear Emperor Physique.
Qi Rui immediately dashes to Li Mao position to fight Li Mao in close combat while Li Mao uses his spear to create a range between him and Qi Rui as he knows that he will lose if he let his opponent gain advantage in close range. Li Mao knows that his opponent didn't have a physique and may be weaker than him, yet he didn't look down on him as he has always learned from his father that 'a warrior mustn't look down on their opponent no matter how weak they are!'
Li Mao keeps attacking Qi Rui while checked him in his place while Qi Rui keeps searching for opportunities to close his range and attack Li Mao while dodging his attack. Some people may feel that their skill is equal, but experts will know with a glance that Qi Rui is losing right now.
It can be said that their difference is too big as Li Mao skill, weapon and talent are more superior than Qi Rui yet Qi Rui who lost in every aspect against Li Mao can still fight a prolonged fight against Li Mao which makes parents and teachers who look at him like a trash approve and pity him at the same time.
Qi Rui and Li Mao continue the fight and exchange more than 500 blow without anyone winning. Those with keen eyes can see Li Mao start to tire as time pass while Qi Rui is still as energetic as ever and keep attacking. Both of them use sword and spear technique to counter the others which turn this battle into a battle of attrition.
Qi Rui who fight with Li Mao soon find out a loophole in Li Mao defend and start to charge, even so, the spear scratched his face before Qi Rui swords arrive at Li Mao neck while Li Mao who saw that can only sigh before he says.
"Your name is Qi Rui, right? I hope we can fight again later in the future…I give up." Li Mao says the word calmly and give Qi Rui a bow after Qi Rui removed his swords while Qi Rui who heard that word also bow at Li Mao before saying "Many thanks."
"Fourth match is won by Qi Rui!" After the referee announce the match , some of the teacher start to clap their hands in approval as they're going to be new student of this school and may become comrade later which is why having a friendly competition sometimes is welcome for those teachers who mostly saw student who want to fight to the death to impress teachers.
Some people especially student or examinee didn't see anything special about the match as they can only see Qi Rui and Li Mao exchanging sword and spear skill, and they even look down on Li Mao for losing to such a trash who didn't have any physique yet Yin Yu who watch the match while recovering can see much more than that.
Yin Yu can see why Li Mao easily give up when he fight against Qi Rui, as it can be seen that Qi Rui still have a trump card he hasn't use yet while adding with his fast wit, stamina, and his determination to defeat opponent while hurting himself as no ordinary kid can do that even if they can be sure that they will go out perfectly unharmed, Li Mao can't do anything else after he saw it as he has found out he didn't have that kind of determination Qi Rui have inside himself, which is why he decides to give up on this battle because Qi Rui has given him some experience which may determine his future growth.
"Yun Ju, do you still need a rest or can you start fighting now?" the referee who has finish announcing the last match result start to ask Yun Ju before Yun Ju answered "I can fight." Yun Ju immediately goes to the stage after he said that while the referee turns to look at Lan Yiyan and ask the same question.
"Lan Yiyan, do you-" Lan Yiyan immediately go to the stage even before she heard the referee words and the referee who saw that can only smile while he continues.
"Fifth Match Yun Ju VS Lan Yiyan!"
"Fight!"
