In a world where looks were everything, Fang Xiaoyu's perfect face, combined with the ethereal scene of petals falling with every movement, was enough to make everyone forget right and wrong, remembering only the fairy-like, lifelike figure.
At this moment, a large crowd of sycophants outside the arena began to howl.
"Goddess Xiaoyu, I will love you forever."
"Dump Wan Lei, I'll work picking up trash to support you!"
"Look at me."
"The Immortal Realm finally has a fairy."
"Take pictures, take pictures, this scene will be my spirit jade wallpaper for the rest of my life."
Hearing this made Wan Lei’s teeth ache. What kind of people were these? Little Sister Xiaoyu already had a husband, and these people still liked her. Should he make Little Sister Xiaoyu go out less in the future?
Pah, pah, pah. Only insecure men would have such thoughts.
However, I have to show off too, can't let all the spotlight be on Little Sister Xiaoyu.
Thus, five-colored lightning pervaded Wan Lei’s body, and he instantly transformed into the God of Thunder, stepping on lightning as he punched towards Chai Lian.
At this moment, Chai Lian was desperately resisting Fang Xiaoyu’s suppression and had no time to worry about the attack from behind.
When Wan Lei’s attack arrived, he had no way to resist and was directly sent flying.
Following that, Wan Lei raised one hand into a clawing motion, and countless bolts of lightning from the sky descended, arriving in Wan Lei’s palm.
Then Wan Lei slammed down hard, and Chai Lian, who had just struggled to get up, was struck down to the ground again.
Actually, he could still strike people with lightning without making this clawing motion, as he controlled lightning with his divine sense, not his hands.
The reason for doing so was for style.
He wanted to prove to everyone that only he, who was this handsome, deserved the beautiful Fang Xiaoyu. You people are not worthy, so give up hope.
Yes, he was that petty.
However, Wan Lei’s plan backfired, or more accurately, went in the wrong direction.
Instantly, countless female disciples in the arena screamed.
"Wow, Wan Lei is so handsome."
"As expected of the strongest hall disciple of the Five Elements Hall, I declare him the most handsome in the Five Elements Hall."
"Wan Lei oppa, I want to have your babies."
"So handsome, so handsome, I really want to get married to him right here."
"The most handsome man in the Immortal Realm."
"So manly."
Looking at Wan Lei’s smug expression and listening to the infatuated voices of the surrounding female disciples, Fang Xiaoyu snorted coldly in her heart.
Being liked by so many women, you’re quite pleased, aren’t you? Hmph, I can’t let you steal the limelight anymore.
Fang Xiaoyu immediately swung her sword, and countless petals turned into a cage, trapping Chai Lian within.
However, Wan Lei did not want Fang Xiaoyu to show off again; he wanted to show off himself, so he tore open the cage, grabbed Chai Lian, and beat him.
Seeing this, Fang Xiaoyu snatched Chai Lian back and beat him again.
Thus, the situation became: Fang Xiaoyu didn’t want Wan Lei to steal the spotlight and desperately beat Chai Lian.
Wan Lei wanted to prove he was handsome, so he beat Chai Lian even more vigorously.
Chai Lian: ???
At this moment, Chai Lian was lying on the ground, unable to move. Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu, one on each side, were beating him furiously.
"Give him to me, or I won't cook for you for three days."
Seeing that he couldn't snatch Chai Lian from Fang Xiaoyu, Wan Lei threatened.
"Get lost, or you won't be allowed to sleep in bed at night."
"Hmph?"
"Hmph?!"
The two glared at each other, but their hands did not stop, and attacks rained down on Chai Lian.
Fortunately, Chai Lian was there, otherwise, these two would have surely started fighting.
Neither of them would yield to the other, and they took out their anger on Chai Lian, making the scene extremely brutal.
On the other side, it was even more惨不忍睹 (miserable to look at).
A dozen people all wanted to show off, to prove their greater contribution to the team and that they were the most suitable candidate for vice-captain. Each of them used their full strength, desperately attacking the two Earth Hall disciples.
The two were bound and could not move, only able to lie on the ground and be passively beaten.
The fiercest attackers were the Four Little Ones, who charged to the front, not giving any space to others.
When others attacked, they could only seize the opportunity for a quick strike in the gaps between them, greatly reducing efficiency.
The cheers from outside the arena gradually subsided as people could no longer bear to watch the brutal scene before them.
What kind of grudge was this? The opponent was already down and couldn't get up, yet they were still beating him fiercely.
It was just that they had apprehended your people according to the rules, a beating to vent anger was enough, why beat them to death?
If outsiders didn’t know, they would think there was a blood feud or a feud over a woman.
What they didn’t know was that whether it was Wan Lei, Fang Xiaoyu, or the other dozen members, they were all just trying to prove that they were stronger than others.
The method of proof was beating their opponents.
The pitiable Wind God team became the punching bag for the first internal strife of the Thunder Rain team.
Many disciples took pictures of this scene and posted them on the internal forum of the Five Elements Hall, with equally interesting titles.
"Shocking, Thunder Rain Team is not human, they are crushing and abusing the Wind God Team."
"The strongest playboy team in the Five Elements Hall bullies weaker disciples."
"The scene is too brutal to watch."
Finally, the referee steward could not stand it any longer and stepped forward to stop the match.
"Stop, stop, the match is over. If you keep fighting, you'll kill them. I declare the winning team is the Thunder Rain team."
Upon hearing this, everyone finally stopped. At this time, the three people lying on the ground were on the verge of death, like bloody gourds.
"Why… why…"
Chai Lian looked at the pitted ground with vacant eyes. He still didn't know what he had done wrong to be treated like this.
The Thunder Rain team一行 (group) left the fighting arena. Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu each snorted and turned their heads away without speaking. The others, however, were enthusiastically discussing who had hit the hardest, which eventually turned into a criticism session of the Four Little Ones by everyone.
Everyone complained that they were "snatching kills" and didn't give anyone else a chance.
The Four Little Ones retorted that they defeated their enemies with their own abilities, so why should they be accused of stealing kills?
The medical team members were dispatched and carried all three people out for treatment. They applied medicine, bandaged wounds, and administered elixirs, finally saving their lives.
Then they carried the three back to their respective cave dwellings.
Chai Lian was wrapped like a mummy, with one arm in a sling, lying on the stretcher, looking up at the sky with no will to live.
As they neared the Wind Hall, he suddenly saw a familiar figure.
"Hall Master… Hall Master…"
Chai Lian cried out hoarsely, like a bullied child seeing their adult, tears involuntarily streaming down his face.
Ruoshui Qiu heard someone calling from this direction and looked over. When she saw the blood-seeping mummy, she was startled.
"What is this?"
"Hall Master, it's Chai Lian."
"Oh, oh, Chai Lian, what happened to you?"
Ruoshui Qiu regained her composure, frowned, and looked at the person on the stretcher.
"I was… beaten by Wan Lei…"
