The tutor's toughness!

"Teacher, the current results don't represent the final outcome. Xia Zhiqing is already exhausted, and she won't be able to perform well in the next round of the elimination match," Nan Yangze said slowly.

Upon hearing the statements from Xue Haoling and Nan Yangze, the expressions on Mo Xinghai and Duan Yingwu's faces improved slightly. They understood the situation just as well.

Although Canglan Academy secured more spots than them in the first round of the elimination match, the matches were consecutive without any rest time in between.

Given Xia Zhiqing's current condition, there was no way she could recover in time for the next round of the elimination match. The outcome of her elimination was already predetermined.

"In the upcoming matches, we cannot afford any more mistakes."

Duan Yingwu took a strong stance. The strength of the students represented the strength of the mentors. If the students performed poorly, it would reflect poorly on them as well.

"Yes!"

Xue Haoling and Nan Yangze nodded in agreement. They would give their all in the upcoming battles.

In contrast to Xue Haoling and Nan Yangze's commitment, Xiao Lanmei remained as indifferent as ever, not saying anything at all.

Mo Xinghai and Duan Yingwu were well aware of Xiao Lanmei's character. She was the ace of their North Sea Academy and had even defeated Third Prince Nan Gongyujin. It was evident that Xiao Lanmei would make it to the finals!

"Now, everyone has an hour to rest. I hope you can quickly adjust and participate in the second round of the elimination match!" Jian Qingqiu announced.

After Jian Qingqiu declared the break time, everyone gathered in the rest area to recuperate.

"I only have an hour of rest, and it's going to be difficult for me to recover in that time."

Xia Zhiqing furrowed her eyebrows. The exertion from using the Flame Whip had completely drained her elemental power. Even though she had taken a Revitalizing Pill, she wouldn't be able to fully recover in such a short time.

It was like a person who had been starving for several days suddenly having food, but they were already too weak. Even with the food, they couldn't regain their strength immediately.

"An hour is indeed too short."

Dongfang Yu frowned. Fortunately, none of them were injured. If they were seriously injured, it would mean they had no chance in the upcoming elimination matches.

"This method is really unreasonable!"

Zhan Yunfeng's face was filled with dissatisfaction. In this way, the advantage they had gained in the first round of the elimination match would disappear. How could Xia Zhiqing compete if she didn't even have a bit of strength left?

"This rule may seem unfair, but it becomes fair when it treats everyone equally."

Baili Hongzhuang remained calm. This rule wasn't targeted at them specifically, but applied to everyone. They had no right to protest, and the only thing they could do was accept it.

Upon hearing Baili Hongzhuang's words, the expressions of the others changed slightly. They were indeed unhappy about the situation, but Baili Hongzhuang's reasoning made sense.

If the practitioners from the other two academies didn't complain and they continued to dwell on this issue, it would make them appear petty.

Xia Zhiqing's face revealed a hint of helplessness. She had anticipated this outcome, which was why she had refrained from using the Flame Whip all this time.

However, she hadn't expected Lü Jingqi's strength to exceed her expectations, leaving her with no other choice but to resort to this method.
