Time passed quickly, and shortly after Aotian's victory over Mo Gang, the other four Dueling Platforms also had their outcomes.
Luo Yiqiang faced He Dan, and in the end, it was Luo Yiqiang who emerged victorious. Han Kong battled Niu Geng, and ultimately, Niu Geng lost by a narrow margin. Wei Tianyi went up against He Wu, and it was clear that Wei Tianyi claimed the victory. Snow Qincheng fought Luxiong, and Luxiong was knocked down, barely able to continue.
Thus, the winners of the second round of the Dragon-Tiger Contest were Aotian, Luo Yiqiang, Han Kong, Wei Tianyi, and Snow Qincheng.
However, Han Kong's victory over Niu Geng did surprise Aotian. It should be noted that Niu Geng had a very mysterious background, and his strange "Demonization" technique had left Aotian feeling apprehensive.
But in the end, he still lost, which made Aotian regard Han Kong with newfound respect.
It seemed that the top three of the Inner Courtyard Rankings were indeed formidable opponents; defeating them would not be easy.
Once Aotian and his team had mostly recovered their stamina, the Elder stepped forward and announced loudly:
“Next, we will continue with the drawing method for the matches. However, since there are now five of you, one person will not need to compete and can directly advance to the next round of the Dragon-Tiger Contest. As for who that person will be, it will depend on the results of the draw.”
As he spoke, the Elder waved his sleeve, and five pieces of paper shot towards Aotian and the others.
Aotian easily caught a piece of paper in his hand. After glancing at the number on it, he couldn't help but smile wryly as he walked towards one of the Dueling Platforms.
Clearly, Aotian's luck was not great; he did not draw the one “pass” ticket.
When Aotian stepped onto the Dueling Platform, he discovered that his opponent for this match was none other than Wei Tianyi, ranked third in the Inner Courtyard Rankings.
Seeing that his opponent was Aotian, Wei Tianyi paused for a moment before grinning maliciously and saying:
“It seems your luck isn't very good. Here is where your journey ends.”
Aotian squinted his eyes, a cold glint flashing within, and said indifferently:
"I think it's time to change the person in third place at the Inner Academy."
"Kekeke, what a stubborn guy. Aotian, if you promise me that you will no longer be entangled with Xue Qingcheng, I can let you exit gracefully today. Otherwise, don't blame me for making you leave horizontally!" Wei Tianyi said ominously.
Upon hearing this, Aotian felt a surge of anger. This guy was indeed still coveting Xue Qingcheng! This infuriated Aotian greatly.
Aotian had no good feelings towards Wei Tianyi. Firstly, their positions were different; one was the leader of the Starry Radiance Society while the other was the leader of the Sky Garment Gang, and these two factions were inherently at odds. This directly led to Aotian and Wei Tianyi being unable to coexist peacefully.
Secondly, after Xue Qingcheng chose him, Wei Tianyi still clung to her, which further enraged Aotian.
As a man, knowing that an enemy is coveting his woman’s beauty while remaining indifferent is simply unacceptable!
However, Aotian was clearly not that kind of indifferent man. Therefore, he decided to give Wei Tianyi an unforgettable lesson during this Dragon-Tiger Contest.
"You shouldn't covet Xue Qingcheng. Today, I will make you understand that Xue Qingcheng is not someone you can lay your hands on!" Aotian's expression suddenly darkened.
"Hahahaha..."
Hearing Aotian's words, Wei Tianyi laughed uncontrollably, his laughter filled with mockery as he said:
"I can't covet? Do you think a guy like you, looking like a toad, can do whatever you want with Xue Qingcheng?!"
Wei Tianyi was extremely angry; it was this guy who made Xue Qingcheng change her mind. Otherwise, she would have eventually been his. Of course, this was just Wei Tianyi's self-righteous thinking.
Aotian narrowed his eyes and said:
"There's no need for more words; let's see the truth in action!"
"Fight! Of course, we will fight! But I also want to make a bet with you!" Wei Tianyi said with ill intent.
Aotian vaguely understood the bet Wei Tianyi was proposing, but he still asked, "What kind of bet?"
"We'll bet on Xue Qingcheng! The winner gets to have Xue Qingcheng, while the loser must forever stay out of her sight! Do you dare to bet?!" Wei Tianyi shouted.
Snow Qincheng's opponent this time was Luo Yiqiang, and Han Kong was fortunate enough to draw a "direct admission ticket." At that moment, Snow Qincheng heard Wei Tianyi's words from another Dueling Platform and couldn't help but turn pale with anger.
What? You two big men are using me as a wager in your contest? Are women destined to be treated as mere stakes?
If it weren't for the presence of the elders on the high platform, Snow Qincheng would have likely rushed up to confront Wei Tianyi.
At this moment, Snow Qincheng's gaze also turned towards Aotian; she wanted to see how the man she chose would respond.
Aotian smiled. Yes, he smiled, but his laughter carried an overwhelming chill and anger that made one shiver involuntarily.
"A bet? Heh, sorry, I'm not interested in betting with you! Xue Qingcheng is my woman; I will naturally protect her for life. Why would I need to gamble with her? Only someone like you, a beast, would treat Xue Qingcheng as a mere object to wager on! No wonder Xue Qingcheng looks down on you; someone like you doesn't deserve her!"
Upon hearing Aotian's words, all the female students in the Duel Arena looked at him with stars in their eyes, filled with admiration.
Aotian's words were incredibly impactful for women. Especially with Wei Tianyi being such a fool, it only highlighted Aotian's stature and greatness.
At that moment, countless female students wished they were Snow Qincheng so they could be Aotian's girlfriend. Those who had boyfriends didn't hesitate to reach out and pinch their boyfriends' sides.
Listen, listen! Aotian is so great, so noble! You better learn from him; if you ever treat me as a gamble, I will make sure to take away what you cherish most!
At this moment, all the female students had the same thought about their boyfriends.
Meanwhile, the male students looked on with resentment, filled with envy and a hint of malice as they gazed at Aotian.
I mean, come on, dude, are you really that full of yourself? Why are you igniting my wife's anger towards us for no reason? It's truly tragic!
At this moment, Snow Qincheng's dissatisfaction and anger had long since vanished. She gazed at Aotian with affectionate eyes. At that moment, even a piece of ice would melt under the warmth of her gaze.
As for Wei Tianyi, he was truly furious. Especially when he saw his goddess looking at Aotian with such affection, his rage intensified, and he even felt a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
“Aotian, today I will fight you to the death!”
Wei Tianyi shouted like a madman, and then a terrifying wave of mystical energy erupted from his body, fiercely striking towards Aotian...
