Hearing the surrounding chatter, Huo Wushuang glanced at Huo Wu and Huo Yu next to him and finally stopped resisting.
After a sigh, he raised his right hand, "In this duel, we concede defeat."
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire audience fell silent...
Huo Wu, incredulous, directed her gaze toward him, a bit angrily saying, "What?? Brother, what are you talking about? How can you give up? What about the face of Blazing Fire Academy?"
The decision to concede defeat had not been consulted with her at all!
Huo Wushuang didn't look away from her gaze but said word by word, "Sister, even if it costs the face of Blazing Fire Academy, this is just a friendly match and it really doesn't count for anything!"
"If you can keep your trump card hidden until later, it will certainly astonish everyone!"
Exposing one's trump card for a momentary victory is not a good thing!
Huo Wu was stunned, somewhat not expecting that he was actually considering her interests, "Brother..."
Huo Yu shrugged his shoulders and did not express anything...
It was then that the deacon hosting the duel came to his senses, and couldn't help but ask back, "Students of Blazing Fire Academy, are you sure you want to concede defeat?"
Seeing this, Huo Wushuang promptly responded, "Sure, our Soul Power is nearly exhausted, and to continue would be just a waste of time!"
The former nodded slightly in understanding and then announced, "In that case, I declare Skywater Academy the victor!!"
In an instant, there was a roar from the audience stands...
"Hahaha, fantastic, I knew Skywater Academy would win, everything is as expected!"
"I thought there would be a comeback, didn't expect them to just concede, Blazing Fire Academy really has no backbone!"
"What else could they do if not concede? Waste everyone's time? This is the right decision!"
"Eh... Blazing Fire Academy actually lost today, it's so disappointing, I had been looking forward to it!"
"Long live Skywater Academy! Long live Skywater Academy!!"
Gu Qingbo and Yu Hairou, looking at Shui Bing'er, excitedly said, "Bing'er, we won!!"
The crap those guys from Blazing Fire Academy talked, it was all lies!!
However, even though they had won, there was not the slightest bit of joy on Shui Bing'er's face...
In her heart, she solemnly thought, "They actually conceded, it seems they do not intend to use that method that could turn the tide of the battle, this must carry significant meaning!"
But, can we really say we've won??
With lingering regrets in their hearts, the members of both sides quickly left the competition stage...
...
The competition ended!
Only then did Ning Fengzhi turn to the solemn-faced Gu Rong and ask, "Uncle Bone, that aura you sensed earlier, did it appear again?"
His attention had always been on the audience seats, but he hadn't noticed anything!
Gu Rong shook his head, "It didn't appear, I'm afraid the owner of that aura has already left the friendly competition venue."
Having said this, he took another glance at Bi Bidong...
He always felt that this matter seemed to have no connection with the Martial Soul Hall!
Ning Fengzhi stroked his chin, pondering, "Is that so? Then it's possible that the owner of the aura realized your presence and left because of it!"
Detecting Uncle Bone's spiritual power is no easy feat, the adversary must be powerful!
Gu Rong pursed his lips and suggested, "Feng Zhi, what should we do now? Shall I go to Martial Soul City to investigate?"
The former naturally rejected the proposal, "No, that would be a bit too conspicuous, it's better to pretend we know nothing!"
Inside, there might be a colossal conspiracy, possibly even dragging the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect into it!
Gu Rong had nothing more to say, "Alright, then we can only wait to see if the owner of that aura will appear again!"
In fact, there was another thing he hadn't told the previous person!
That was that this aura was filled with ominous signs, giving the feeling that disaster could strike at any moment...
...
At the same time!
The teachers of Blazing Fire Academy were looking at Huo Wushuang and his two companions with faces full of anger!
They scolded, "You actually gave up on your own, and to Skywater Academy at that. Do you realize how much disgrace this brings to our Blazing Fire Academy?"
The moment they witnessed their surrender, they felt like dying!
After all, the principal had said that they must achieve a good result to let the whole Continent's Soul Masters know that Blazing Fire Academy could also cultivate strong Soul Masters!
But now, with such a result, how could they explain themselves?
Huo Wushuang took a deep breath and steeled himself to answer, "Teacher, it was I who spoke the words of surrender. This has nothing to do with my sister and Huo Yu. Wushuang will have no objections to whatever punishment I receive!"
Since he had uttered the words of surrender, it was only natural to take responsibility!
The former couldn't help but laugh in anger and scolded again, "Punishment? Can punishing you help Blazing Fire Academy achieve a good result?"
Huo Yu swallowed hard, "Um, teacher..."
They hadn't expected the teacher to be so angry. It seemed that he really valued this friendship tournament!!
However, the loss of the duel wasn't solely Huo Wushuang's responsibility!!
However, just as she began to speak, she was met with even harsher reprimands...
"Huo Yu, shut your mouth. You performed the worst in the entire duel. Reflect on yourself!"
Huo Yu could only bow her head, "Yes..."
Huo Wu spoke up, "Teacher, actually, it was my fault that we lost the duel this time!"
"If I hadn't hesitated and used that ability, we would have definitely won!"
Huo Wushuang's pupils shrank as he hastily denied, "No... sister, this has nothing to do with you, it was all my doing!"
But the teacher seemed to have perceived something, and his demeanor cooled down a bit...
Then, he questioned again, "Huo Wu, what do you mean by that ability you just mentioned??"
Could it be that Huo Wu was able to turn the tide of battle?
Huo Wu didn't hide anything and replied truthfully, "Teacher, to be honest, I was born with the ability to use Fusion Rings!"
The teacher frowned, "Fusion Rings? Even with Fusion Rings, it's not necessarily..."
But the next second, he realized the implications and exclaimed in shock, "Wait, Huo Wu, what did you just say?? You can use Fusion Rings??"
There were probably no more than a handful of people on the whole Continent who could use the technique of Fusion Rings!!
Huo Wu nodded in affirmation, "That's right, I can use Fusion Rings. If you don't believe me, teacher, I can demonstrate it right now!"
As soon as the former heard this, he immediately waved his hand and laughed, "No... no need, teacher believes you wouldn't lie, and besides, Fusion Rings can cause great harm to the body, try not to use it as much as possible!"
That was marvelous, he hadn't expected her to possess the magical skill of Fusion Rings!
With this, not only would the principal not scold him, but he would likely reward them generously!
Huo Wu was somewhat confused, "Teacher, what about the punishment??"
The teacher pretended not to know, "Punishment? What punishment? You all performed excellently on the battlefield today, you should be praised, not punished!!!"
