Ye Qiu stared blankly down at Shui Bing'er, who was much shorter than him.
This was the first time he had heard such a request since awakening his martial soul.
Wasn't this just asking him to seduce her?
"What's wrong? Is it not allowed?"
Shui Bing'er just wanted to know if Ye Qiu was lying to her.
"Of course you can, but don't look for too long."
Ye Qiu hesitated for a moment, then nodded, not refusing.
Hearing his answer,
Shui Bing'er reached out and grabbed Ye Qiu's wrist, a little cool soul power seeping in.
Ye Qiu was stunned.
Shui Bing'er's face flushed slightly.
She explained, "Don't worry, I won't take the opportunity to attack you."
The people around were completely numb.
Was this still a competition?
Huo Wu gritted her teeth!
Why did Shui Bing'er have to compete with her for everything!
And Ye Qiu seemed to be much friendlier to her than to herself.
The remaining five girls of the Tianshui Academy team were also full of confusion.
"What are you talking about with Ye Qiu, Big Sister?"
Gu Qingbo asked in confusion.
"She's probably asking what happened to us."
Xue Wu, as Shui Bing'er's best partner, knew her best.
"Yes, that should be it."
Qiu Ruoshui nodded in agreement, agreeing with this guess.
In the arena.
Ye Qiu and Shui Bing'er stared at each other, their eyes fixed.
"Ready?"
Ye Qiu asked softly.
"Let's begin."
Shui Bing'er took a deep breath, the faint fragrance of Ye Qiu making her frown.
A
strange fluctuation spread out. A
crimson light flashed in Ye Qiu's eyes, but he didn't activate his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.
Feeling like he had become a humanoid succubus, Ye Qiu was also worried that Shui Bing'er might lose control.
His three-tomoe Sharingan appeared.
Shui Bing'er didn't notice any other soul power fluctuations emanating from Ye Qiu.
The crimson light caught her eye.
Shui Bing'er's face immediately turned red.
Her hand, gripping Ye Qiu's wrist, tightened unconsciously.
She even tilted her head back towards Ye Qiu.
She took a step towards him.
Her pink lips parted
as if to offer Ye Qiu a kiss.
Shui Bing'er's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately looked away, but the feeling of her heart pounding lingered. Her face
was still flushed.
Ye Qiu only activated
his Sharingan for a moment, then immediately deactivated it.
"How are you?"
Ye Qiu looked down at Shui Bing'er, who had lowered her head, her ears red, and was blushing shyly.
"N-nothing."
Shui Bing'er shook her head gently, a little flustered.
She completely trusted Ye Qiu; his martial spirit was indeed very unethical.
"Then let's start the match."
Ye Qiu gently shook the hand that Shui Bing'er was holding. They had
somehow
ended up with their fingers intertwined.
Many people from the surrounding academies couldn't stand this absurd match
and wanted to leave .
"Ah, no, I'm sorry."
Shui Bing'er hurriedly let go of Ye Qiu's hand.
Usually calm and wise, her mind was now a mess.
"It's nothing."
Ye Qiu shook his head and stepped back, four spirit rings swirling around his feet.
"Let's begin the competition."
"Okay."
Shui Bing'er nodded slightly.
What had just happened made it impossible for her to look Ye Qiu in the eye.

Unable to concentrate on the battle,
Ye
Qiu didn't linger and quickly defeated Shui Bing'er with his martial spirit.
The farce of the day was over. The
subsequent matches proceeded.
Ye Qiu returned to his team, naturally receiving many disapproving looks.
Fortunately,
Liu Erlong and the others understood Ye Qiu's predicament.
After defeating Tianshui Academy,
the Lanba Academy team achieved an eleven-game winning streak!
They were currently in first place in the Tiandou Empire's qualifying matches
and would remain so!
Next, Lanba Academy would face
Thunder Academy and Divine Wind Academy teams .
These were old rivals,
so Ye Qiu wasn't worried.
The next day,
the qualifying matches proceeded smoothly.
When Ye Qiu and his team entered, they were greeted by Tianshui Academy.
Except for Qiu Ruoshui and Shui Bing'er, the other girls all had their heads down, their ears red.
Shui Yue'er was even more so
; she only realized how foolish she had been the day before.
Yesterday's cheerfulness
might turn into a lifetime of inferiority.
It's also because she didn't know what had happened to Shui Bing'er and the others; if she had known, perhaps she wouldn't have kept her head down so low.
Shui Bing'er, suppressing her embarrassment and discomfort,
nodded to Ye Qiu
in greeting.
Seeing the gazes from Xiao Wu and the others, her face flushed even more.
She hurriedly led her sisters away.
"Husband, now... I wonder how long it will take them to forget you,"
Liu Erlong said helplessly, rolling her eyes at Ye Qiu.
"Heh,"
Ye Qiu could only laugh dryly, remaining silent. Explaining
such things only made things worse.
Soon after, the competition began as scheduled, and Ye Qiu's opponents today were Thunder Academy.
In previous matches, Thunder Academy had only lost one game, against Divine Wind Academy.
Their overall strength was even a notch above Blazing Fire Academy.
Furthermore, the conductivity of water-attribute soul power from Heavenly Water Academy was no match for Thunder Academy, and the destructive power of lightning was stronger than fire in some aspects, so Plant Academy also lost without a doubt.
Thunder Academy's only loss was against Divine Wind Academy.
But against Ye Qiu
, defeat was inevitable; although Yu Tianxin's strength had improved,
it was still far from enough.
Blue Tyrant Academy achieved a twelve-game winning streak!
...
The day after defeating Thunder Academy
, the thirteenth round of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament began!
For most participating academies, their rankings in the qualifying rounds were already determined. They
started to hold back in the last few matches,
trying their best to ensure their team members didn't get injured, in order to prepare for the finals.
However, one academy remained in a state of anxiety:
Divine Wind Academy.
They couldn't help but worry, remembering Feng Xiaotian's broken wings last time. If
he had suffered such a serious injury,
it might affect his performance in the finals.
"Alright, you don't need to look so worried. Ye Qiu and the others will take care of healing us after you've beaten us,"
Feng Xiaotian said, unconcerned.
Although they hadn't known each other for long, Ye Qiu didn't seem like an unapproachable person.
At this time, both Divine Wind Academy and Blue Tyrant Academy
had achieved twelve consecutive wins.
Each academy will compete in fourteen rounds of matches.
Both Blue Tyrant Academy and Divine Wind Academy face relatively weak opponents in the final round, making victory almost guaranteed.
Therefore
, the final outcome will depend on today's match—a clash between two undefeated teams. But everyone already knows
the result.
