Na'er looked up toward the referee's stand and deliberately swung her legs at the soul tool camera below, as if she were afraid others wouldn't catch the scene.
Then, her arms wrapped around Arthur's neck suddenly loosened, and her whole body went limp as if she had lost all strength, swaying slightly as she hung on him.
"Oh my." With a soft cry, Na'er's cheek brushed against Arthur's side profile, her voice tinged with a bit of grievance. "Brother Arthur's Soul Power is so strong, I can't hold on anymore."
As soon as she said this, the cursing from the audience stands momentarily stalled.
Before anyone could react, Na'er had already slid down from Arthur. As soon as her feet touched the ground, she feigned a stumble and took two steps back.
She raised her hand to rub her arm, her beautiful large eyes brimming with tears as if she had truly been shaken by Arthur's Soul Power.
Pouting, she waved her small fist at Arthur, her tone carrying a hint of reluctance mixed with a touch of coquettishness. "Fine, you're amazing, Brother Arthur. I admit defeat."
After speaking, she ignored the expressions of the entire audience and turned to run off the arena, her skirt tracing a graceful arc. After a few steps, she didn't forget to look back and make a face at Arthur.
The entire arena was dead silent for a full three seconds.
In the next second, cursing, booing, and exclamations echoed throughout the stadium.
"Holy crap! She's admitting defeat just like that? Are they playing us for fools?!"
"I didn't spend money to watch this!"
"Watching this match makes me want to puke!"
Arthur stood on the arena, watching Na'er's retreating figure. He then looked down at his disheveled clothes, his mouth twitching violently.
The referee bit the bullet and shouted, "In this match, Arthur wins!"
The moment those words were spoken, countless water bottles and snack bags were hurled toward the arena, though fortunately, the protective shield blocked them.
At the highest point of the stands, Dai Tianling kept taking deep breaths. A match that was supposed to showcase the future national strength of the Star Luo Empire had now become a stage for others to flirt.
He felt like cursing.
Glancing at the equally embarrassed high-ranking officials of the Douluo Delegation beside him, Dai Tianling sighed and issued an order.
The final match would be moved forward.
Now, immediately, right away!
When the order reached the referee's stand, the referee almost dropped the soul tool megaphone in his hand.
He hurriedly adjusted his trembling voice and shouted to the entire crowd, "Emergency announcement! At the request of the organizers, there is no need to wait for tomorrow. We will proceed directly to the final match now! The competing sides: Arthur versus Yuanen Yehui!"
According to the custom of previous years, there should have been careful preparation and promotion before the grand finals began.
Suddenly changing the schedule like this was not ideal.
But the circumstances were special right now.
Given this trend, the match between Arthur and Yuanen Yehui would surely be even more absurd.
You mean I still have to carefully prepare for the exhibition match of these two brutes?
Dai Tianling couldn't take it.
Conveniently, the audience couldn't take it either and had no objections to this decision; the sooner it ended, the sooner they'd be liberated.
A mountain-shaking, tsunami-like roar of agreement erupted.
"It should have been like this long ago! Finish it quickly so we can leave!"
"Arthur is a Two-Word Battle Armor master, while Yuanen Yehui doesn't even have a complete set of one-word battle armor. I can tell who's going to win just by using my knees to think."
"Oh? Who wins?"
"Yuanen Yehui."
"Yuanen Yehui?" The spectator in the next seat whipped their head around, their voice full of mockery. "Arthur is a ruthless character who can crush Long Yue. Yuanen Yehui isn't even worthy of carrying his shoes!"
"Don't you get it yet?" The previous spectator argued back with a stiff neck, pointing at Yuanen Yehui, who was currently glaring at Arthur below the stage. "I bet! However Qian Wu lost, that's exactly how Arthur will lose later!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding audience fell silent, and many nodded thoughtfully... Yuanen Yehui stepped onto the stage with a flushed face. She looked up and glared at Arthur, lowering her voice and gritting her teeth, "Hurry up, this is too embarrassing..."
Arthur raised an eyebrow, but before he could respond, Yuanen Yehui had already thrown a fierce punch.
The massive fist whistled through the air, accompanied by the phantom of a Titan Giant Ape, its momentum shaking the heavens.
Yuanen Yehui truly used her full strength.
But for Arthur, it was still insignificant.
When it hit him, he froze for a moment before immediately cooperating with a muffled groan. His body flew backward, slamming heavily into the arena shield. Clutching his chest, he coughed, "Impressive... I, Arthur, am willing to call you the strongest!"
Seeing this expected scene, the audience erupted in boos.
There was no more cursing, perhaps because they were tired of it.
"See, I knew it. They're in this together."
Arthur's acting was too disgusting.
Yuanen Yehui opened her mouth, wanting to say a few words of rebuke.
But noticing the widespread booing, her cheeks instantly turned so red they looked like they might bleed. She wished she could disappear into the ground right then and there.
Arthur was still acting. He struggled to push himself off the ground and stand up, his voice hoarse, "Since there is a Qiu, why must there also be a Yehui..."
After speaking, he simply rolled his eyes back and fell straight down, his fake fainting perfected to a fine art.
The referee's face turned green. After a full half-minute, he finally calmed his emotions enough to announce the result: "In this match, Yuanen Yehui wins!"
Thus, Yuanen Yehui received the championship prize sponsored by the Star Luo Empire: a ten-thousand-year Titan Giant Ape arm Spirit Bone.
It was originally intended for Long Yue, as the Titan Giant Ape Spirit Bone was a perfect match for his Martial Soul.
But no one had expected the outcome to be like this.
The other Spirit Bone rewarded by Shrek Academy would have to wait until they returned to be collected... That evening, the Shrek students gathered to celebrate.
That evening, the Shrek students gathered in the banquet hall of the delegation's residence to celebrate, the dining table laden with Star Luo-style delicacies.
As soon as Yuanen Yehui walked through the door, she was surrounded by a crowd so thick not a drop of water could trickle through.
"Sister Yehui, you're awesome! A real hidden talent, even our class monitor was taken down by you!"
Xu Xiaoyan squeezed to the very front, making "hei-hei-ha-hei" punching motions. "That last punch was simply the Peak explosion of the Titan Giant Ape Martial Soul!"
"Exactly!" Xie Xie hurriedly agreed, still holding up a glass of juice. "Qian Wu and Arthur aren't even worth mentioning in front of you!"
"Sister Yehui, you are the pride of our Douluo Continent!"
"I think that genius list should have a change of names too."
Yuanen Yehui's face turned green; these kids were really skilled at being sarcastic, all of them just looking for a laugh.
She raised her hand and slapped Xu Xiaoyan on the head, saying crossly, "Stop flattering me! If you keep talking nonsense, I'll beat you!"
Xu Xiaoyan howled while clutching her head, but she laughed even harder. "But it's true! Sister Yehui, that punch of yours looked so domineering, even Brother Arthur was sent flying. If that's not strength, what is?"
"And two Spirit Bones! I'm dying of envy."
At the mention of Spirit Bones, Yuanen Yehui's expression immediately changed, and she couldn't help but smile.
Qian Wu even stood up. "I have personally experienced those iron fists."
"In my opinion, Yuan En's championship..."
"Is well-deserved!"
As soon as Qian Wu said this, a louder cheer erupted in the banquet hall.
Everyone was revolving around Yuanen Yehui.
Arthur watched this scene from the sidelines with a slight smile.
"You did it on purpose?" Gu Yue sat beside him at some point.
