Baili Hongzhuang smiled lightly. It was impossible to say that Mo Yunjue wasn't smart enough.
However, regardless of Mo Yunjue's intentions for helping her, help was help, and they could be considered as mutually helping each other.
Thinking about it, with Nangong Yue'er's troublesome personality, Mo Yunjue's days were probably not going to be easy.
The situation was just as Baili Hongzhuang had expected. Gong Shaoqing's strength was already formidable, and even in his prime, Xue Haoling wouldn't necessarily be his match, let alone now when Xue Haoling's condition was extremely poor.
In this situation of one's gain being the other's loss, it was almost certain that Xue Haoling would fail.
With just a simple exchange, everyone had already determined the outcome.
The two mentors from Beihai Academy were also very anxious upon seeing this scene. However, even if they were anxious now, it would be of no use since the competition had already begun.
Canglan Academy's face also turned ugly. The performance of Beihai Academy in the first round of the elimination matches had already been unsatisfactory. If Xue Haoling also lost this round, the situation would become even more unfavorable.
Bang!
Accompanied by Gong Shaoqing's sweep, Xue Haoling fell heavily to the ground. He had just tried to stand up when Gong Shaoqing's sword appeared in front of him.
"Gong Shaoqing wins!"
The referee immediately announced the result. The outcome of this battle was already clear.
As soon as the words fell, Xue Haoling seemed to lose all his strength. His expression was blank, and his mood was low, far from his previous spirited appearance.
How could he have imagined such an outcome before the academy exchange meeting began?
When he thought back to his mockery of the cultivators from Canglan Academy earlier, he now felt that he himself was the true joke.
Gong Shaoqing walked down from the martial arts stage. In the second round of the elimination matches, Canglan Academy had achieved two consecutive victories. This result undoubtedly amazed many people.
"I had only heard before, and I thought the cultivators from Canglan Academy were all rubbish. Now I realize that Beihai Academy is the one truly lacking."
"That's right. That Xue Haoling was jumping around so happily earlier, but now he loses straight away in just one exchange. It's often those who boast the most that have the least strength."
"This time, Canglan Academy is going to be proud..."
Cang Hongxi's expression became very unpleasant, while Huan Chu You had a faint smile on his face.
In the past, it was always Cang Hongxi who enjoyed the limelight and was proud, but this year, the situation had clearly changed.
"Gong Shaoqing, you're so decisive in your battles!" Dongfang Yu patted Gong Shaoqing's chest. Seeing his brother achieve such results, he also felt happy.
"Xue Haoling was simply not in a good condition. It can only be considered lucky that he drew him."
Gong Shaoqing's expression was calm. He also didn't give his all in this battle. It could only be said that his luck was very good in both matches so far.
"Dongfang, Nangong Xiujie is not an easy opponent. Be careful in your next match."
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yu nodded slightly. "I understand. Nangong Xiujie is already at the Innate Realm, so it's basically impossible for me to defeat him."
Feeling the worried gazes of everyone, Dongfang Yu appeared very carefree. "Don't worry, everyone. I'll treat this match as a learning experience. It's also a good opportunity to spar with a cultivator at the Innate Realm!"
Seeing that Dongfang Yu had already prepared himself mentally, everyone felt a little more relieved.
