"Li Junchao! Li Junchao! Li Junchao! Li Junchao! Li Junchao! Li Junchao! Li Junchao!~~~~~"

Oh my god, they're so annoying! Are they hating on me or does Li Junchao really have that much popularity?

I stayed up late with Nophis last night, why am I already at the First Arena this early in the morning? I really didn't get enough sleep! But I promised to go, even if I lose, I won't be seen as a coward.

From yesterday morning to early this morning, Nophis and I have been researching the "Sealing Demon Formation." Honestly, we haven't made any progress at all!

I only had four hours of sleep!

Oh! Is it because it starts at ten? Did I come too early? Maybe I should just go back to sleep! Those people outside aren't my fans anyways, let them bond with that green-haired guy.

I'll just take a nap in the locker room!

"The door creaked open."

"Excuse me, who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for you, is there anyone else here?" The door opened and it was Xiao Ya with green hair.

"No, there isn't! What do you want with me?"

"Well~~~"

"Don't just stand at the door, come in and sit down!"

"Okay!" Xiao Ya shyly came over and sat down next to me.

Hmm, I noticed that there are quite a few beauties around me. Oh right, we held hands before, that feeling is hard to forget.

"You!" "You!" To break the awkward silence, we both spoke at the same time.

"Xiao Ya, do you have something to say to me?"

*Ding!* Xiao Ya summoned "Split Clouds."

"Here, take it! You can borrow it for now!"

"What? Uh, your sword, it's yours, how can I use it?"

"Well..." Xiao Ya blushed slightly and extended her hand, giving me the sword.

The emerald green light of "Split Clouds" continued to shine, not dimming or disappearing. The sword lay there peacefully.

"This is ridiculous! I'm not its owner, so why can I feel its power and response?"

"As long as I'm willing, you can wield it at any time. I hope you can duel safely!"

"Why?"

"I just don't want our Student Council to have any negative influences because of you!"

"Indeed, the Student Council has gotten into trouble because of me! Please apologize to the President, Vice President, and everyone on my behalf, Xiao Ya."

"Okay!"

"It's almost time! I need to go out. Can you cheer for me?" I stood in front of Xiao Ya, holding her sword and said seriously.

"I will, and everyone will cheer for you too!"

"Hehe! Thank you all!"

In front of me, is it the Angel of Death or Hope?

"Li Junchao! Li Junchao! Li Junchao! Li Junchao! Li Junchao! Li Junchao! Li Junchao!~~~~~"

I wanted to cover my ears.

Looking around, the entire oval arena was covered in green grass, and there was a continuous flow of people in the field!

Wait, is this the green-haired guy's home stadium? The concentration of earth element is extraordinary!

I grabbed someone next to me and asked, "What's going on? Where's the previous hard concrete ground?"

"This was specially designed for Junchao. Do you think you deserve such treatment?"

"Isn't a duel supposed to be fair?"

"Fair? It's not fair for you. Li Junchao has declared that he won't kill you, but he won't take responsibility if you're disabled. Haha." The person ridiculed me and shook off my hand.

These people are really too much. Is there no human rights if your ability is low? Is the Empire's law just a piece of paper? No, I can't lose this time, but my only chance of winning so far is "Split Clouds." Can you help me, "Split Clouds"?

I felt a surge of confidence from "Split Clouds." Thank you, "Split Clouds."

It seemed like I couldn't rely on the "Sealing Demon Formation."

"Hello, everyone! Today, it is truly a beautiful day, with clear skies as far as the eye can see. I am honored to be the commentator for this duel. Now, let's welcome our special guest - the principal!"

"Huff, huff!!!"

"Hello, everyone!"

"Now, let's bring out the participants for this duel."

"Li Junchao! Li Junchao! Li Junchao! Li Junchao! Li Junchao! Li Junchao! Li Junchao!~~~~~""Hehe! Look at all my supporters on the other side, they're here for me, aren't they?"

"I know how many fans you have, no need to show off!"

Suddenly, a discordant voice came from the audience, "Look at the sword in his hand."

"That sword looks familiar, where have I seen it before?"

"You fool, that's Hanya's 'Cracked Cloud'."

"But can he use Hanya's sword? It's scientifically inexplicable!"

"Who knows how he obtained it, but it seems like Hanya has fallen for him!"

"Oh my goddess!!!!"

They're all crazy, their imagination is just too rich!

The green-haired person ignored this, "Since you use a sword, let's make it fair, I'll also use a sword. Even though mine is just a regular sword, yours is nothing but scrap metal in your hands."

"We'll see if it's scrap metal soon enough."

"Hmph, keep boasting! You waste, I'll make you realize your place."

The referee was already in position, and all unrelated people were cleared from the arena. The duel was about to begin.

In the specialized room of the Student Council, the president casually sipped tea while keeping his eyes on the arena.

"Mingxin, if anything happens to your brother next, it's up to you!"

"I got it, he's my brother, I won't let anything happen to him!"

Although I haven't fulfilled my responsibilities as an older brother, for the past ten years, I haven't given my sister any peace of mind. Am I really that unreliable?

Perhaps this time, I can prove my worth.

"Time's up, the duel begins!"

"Leave your 'Hoof of the Sheep', Earth Spike."

In the instant the command was given, the green-haired person released his magic.

"I won't give it to you!" Without hesitating, I drew "Cracked Cloud". As the magical sword appeared, the Earth Spike was immediately flattened.

"Hmph! You only rely on your sword!" The green-haired person also drew his sword, not willing to back down. At the same time, he continuously changed the terrain, turning the previously flat lawn into a maze of gullies.

Hmm? Where did the green-haired person go?

"Which side?"

Damn it, he used the terrain to flank me from behind. Since the last confrontation with Qin Yin, I knew he wasn't a gentleman.

"Clang!" Our swords collided, clear and powerful exchanges in succession.

In sword duels, I am the professional.

The edge of "Cracked Cloud" turned, slicing across the green-haired person's waist.

"Hmph!" Seeing the situation change, the green-haired person didn't dare to continue the sword fight. He distanced himself and shouted, "Earth Imprisonment!"

Uh-oh, this is bad.

Earthen walls rose all around me, extending all the way to the top of the arena!
