After naming the song and celebrating their most praising and most embarrassing moments, they went to their rooms for rest. Because they have a second-round tomorrow and they have to win.
Elders had already told them that the second task is a group battle. And since it is going to be a fight, it can go on for two days. It will go on until one team wins. But nobody understands the meaning of this.
The next day, they got up early nearly at 5'O clock, and went to their respective training ground to make their winning strategies. All the students follow the same thing.
Masha, Zhiyuan, and Wuji also met in their training ground. They came early in the morning and greet each other.
Masha said; yesterday's competition wasn't good but today's competition is what I am looking for. We should do our best today and make our opponents lose.
Zhiyuan said; yeah, today we will win completely.
Wuji replied; yeah, this is for sure that we are going to win today but you should remember our strategy. (said while looking at Masha)
Masha noticed that and replied; yeah, I will remember our strategy.
Zhiyuan asked her to repeat.
Masha said with an irritating look; yeah, yeah, yeah I remember that you two will fight first, if you lose in some way then I am going to join the fight, like a secret weapon.
Wuji said; yes, you are right. We will fight this way.
Then the three started practicing for the upcoming match.
Now, it is nearly time for breakfast. The three went to the dining hall for breakfast.
When they reached there, Weiyan was already sitting at his chair with food, waiting for them.
The three went straight to their chairs, where Weiyan was already sitting with their food.
Masha asked; how come you are early today?
Weiyan replied; today you three are going to fight. I am looking forward to your fight. This food is to boost your energy. I am rooting for your success.
Masha said; oh, you are praying for us, to win. Don't worry we will surely win. Since I am here, no need to fear. (she said proudly)
Weiyan replied; yeah, it is like this but you are going to win from your whole class! It is going to be a very proud moment for you!!
Masha said surprisingly; wait, what?
Weiyan replied; you don't know? You don't know why this fight can go on for two days?
Let me tell you; this is a group fight and a whole fight. This means whoever loses first will fight another team. But whoever will win, will have to fight all teams until the winning team loses or win from the whole class. Each team must have at least three winnings to go for the next round. It will be easy for a losing team to fight another losing team but winner team has to win until they lose.
And I am sure, that the winning team will be your team. So, I think you are going to fight for at least three to five hours straight. That's why I am giving you food. (sincere but childish smile)
Masha slammed her hands on the table in surprise; why didn't they tell us before?
Zhiyuan and Wuji were silent, not saying anything because they don't need to worry about how many people they are going to fight with. They already had fought with many people at once.
Zhiyuan said; don't worry, we are not going to lose in any way.
Masha replied; I am not worried about winning but why didn't they tell us?
Weiyan said hurriedly; they actually didn't tell anyone about this yet. Actually, I heard this while passing by. (awkward smile)
Masha replied; oh, it is like this. Then it is fine.
Wuji said to Weiyan; you should not do this again. This is bad.
Weiyan replied; yeah, I won't do this again but I swear, it was all unintentional.
After finishing their breakfast, they all went to the competition ring once again.
After reaching there, it was still the same as yesterday. Same chairs, same ring but today the ring is big and empty, nothing inside.
Masha looked around again like before. And they three went near the ring because there were few minutes left for the competition to start.
The same voice came again; it was the commentator from yesterday.
He came again into the ring and greets everyone.
"Welcome elders and students; I hope you all will be fine.
So, yesterday's match was breathtaking. All students have talent in Archery and Music. But today's competition is the real competition as a cultivator. Today, you have to show your strength as a group. Today's fight is all about your role as a leader and as a team member who trusts his team completely.
So, today's fight rules are;
There will be two teams fighting. It will be win or lose. Whoever will accept defeat first or fall out from the ring, will lose.
As for the winning team, this team has to fight other teams until they lose. They will fight one by one with other teams.
Every team needs at least three wins to qualify for the next round.
So, in short, each team will fight until they lose."
Every student got stunned by hearing this announcement as they have to fight until they lose.
The commentator continued; We should start our today's battle. Our arrangements are the same as yesterday.
The first fight is between Han Wuji, Wang Masha, Yu Zhiyuan vs Su Jingmei, Song Yirong.
They went in the ring. They all were carrying their weapons for the fight. It wasn't some holy weapon but their own weapons which they have used till now
(Song Yirong and Su Jingmei was very happy that they got an early chance to fight with Masha)
They greeted each other and Su Jingmei and Song Yirong pointed at Masha and said don't worry, we will go easy on you. (mockingly, since they were sure that Wuji and Zhiyuan won't fight with girls)
Zhiyuan didn't pass them a glance but looked somehow angry.
(Zhiyuan; today I am going to teach them a lesson for constantly teasing my Masha, anger)
Wuji greeted them in return but there was a killing aurora in his eyes.
They were standing according to their strategy. Wuji and Zhiyuan were at the front while Masha was standing behind.
When they heard the start; Su Jingmei and Song Yirong took the initiative to attack with their confidence that Wuji and Zhiyuan won't attack them. So, they went straight for Masha with the swords in their hands. It looks like they are not going to fight with Masha but they are going to kill her.
Masha was looking at them thinking that; Are they going to kill me? Why are they coming straight for me? If they are coming for me, I am not going easy on them. Today, I am going to take my revenge. She gripped her sword tightly for the attack.
But as Su Jingmei and Song Yirong were going to pass in between Wuji and Zhiyuan, they felt a sudden blow of energy in their bones. By receiving this sudden and extremely fast energy pressure blow, they fell away from them. They spit a mouthful of blood and when they two looked around after catching their breaths they were already outside the ring.
It happened just in a second, nobody actually noticed just what happened.
(since Wuji and Zhiyuan hold elemental energy, it is naturally more powerful than other energies. So, when they were passing, they hurriedly attacked them with just one energy blow. And as they weren't elemental energy holders, that little blow was an extreme powerbomb for them to handle and they fell away and wasn't able to stand. And since it was just one blow by both Zhiyuan and Wuji at the same time, nobody noticed them because their gazes were fixed at Su Jingmei and Song Yirong's upcoming fierce attack)
Masha's eyes were wide opened by saw this scene.
Then she looked at them; their faces were still calm like nothing happened.
Everyone was amazed by this performance of "win in a second". The ground filled with applause.
While the elders weren't looking satisfied by them because they attacked at ladies. And not just an attack but a sudden sneak attack. And they didn't even give them a hand after winning, as a gentleman. But they two just ignored them.
They two were standing still with calm faces but it was more like a satisfaction.
While Song Yirong and Su Jingmei were trying to get up but failed. So, they were still sitting with heads down calming their breaths and gathering their energies. After a while, they got up, wiped the spitted blood, passed a cold gaze, and went out of the ring. This was the most embarrassing moment for them and they can never let go of their insult in many people.
The commentator came in the ring and announced Wuji, Zhiyuan, and Masha's team won.
"I am unable to believe my eyes. They just win in a second. Just one attack and all finished. I am looking forward to their next fights. I think we shouldn't count on how many teams they won but on how much time they won. I am speechless. amazing", Commentator said.
Firstly, everyone was amazed by seeing the fight but after hearing him, they all got terrified as they are going to be the next team one by one. There was a fear on their faces by just thinking about fighting with them.
(While Masha was still looking at them with satisfaction. Today, you two took my revenge. You two are the best persons of all the people I have met in my whole life. From now on, you two are my best friends. There was a proud look on her face)
