Koudijie continued to humiliate Gu Ming.

His face was full of excitement, as if humiliating Gu Ming could bring him an ultimate pleasure.

"Koudijie, enough, end the match." The exquisite and beautiful woman, like an elf, spoke. Her voice was extremely pleasant, as sweet as that of a professional voice actress.

"I haven't had enough fun yet..." A trace of regret flashed across Koudijie's face. "What a pity, but since An Liya has spoken, I'll let you off the hook."

Koudijie kicked Gu Ming away. At this time, half of Gu Ming's face was a bloody mess, but he didn't roar in anger, nor did he have any extra expressions. He was as calm as if he had just finished dinner and gone for a walk.

No one knew how many turbulent waves were hidden beneath Gu Ming's calm expression.

"I announce! The Pantheon Academy has won! Successfully advancing to the top four!"

After the other four members were also kicked off the ring one by one by Koudijie, the referee announced the victory of the match.

"Pantheon Academy? What a grand name..." Qiao Yu muttered to himself.

Koudijie, who had won the victory on the stage, was not willing to give up. His provocative gaze swept across the audience.

"Your Eastern Alliance teams are really vulnerable, it's even hard for me to warm up. Who's next? Is it you?"

Koudijie smiled mockingly and raised a finger, first pointing at Qiao Yu, and then at Duanshuiliu, the captain of the Jing University team.

"Or is it you?"

"Oh, forget it, I don't want to think about it." The corners of Koudijie's mouth rose even higher, and then his expression suddenly turned cold. "Anyway, no matter who it is, they are just trash like that Gu Ming."

"What the hell are you being so arrogant about?!" x2

The Liu Jinshan and Liu Yinshan brothers were particularly excited, as if they had suffered great grievances.

"If my shield hadn't been destroyed, could a piece of trash like you break my defense? You're dreaming your spiced and numbing dreams!" x2

Qiao Yu's expression became more and more strange as he listened... So it really was Ma Fei's sword that caused it...

Good heavens, a friendly fire incident that crippled his own teammate, what a mess...

But fortunately, the person who destroyed the shield was Ma Fei, and it had nothing to do with him. Thinking of this, Qiao Yu's furrowed brows slowly relaxed.

"Oh? Is that so? Sure enough, trash likes to find excuses to defend themselves! Are all the people of your Great Xia Ancient Kingdom like this?"

Koudijie's words completely ignited the anger of the entire venue. Many viewers were filled with righteous indignation and angrily threw the drink bottles in their hands at the stage.

This year's combat competition was held in Kyoto, so naturally, the audience of the Great Xia Ancient Kingdom made up the majority.

But Koudijie was not afraid at all. Instead, he closed his eyes, with a very enjoyable expression.

A hint of coldness could not help but appear in Qiao Yu's eyes.

This kid Koudijie... maybe he could be used to make soup!

"Jinshan, Yinshan, stop talking. Losing is losing, there's nothing to explain. Let's go."

Gu Ming patted Liu Jinshan's shoulder very calmly, and then led the way towards Huaqing's rest area.

When passing by Qiao Yu's arena, Gu Ming raised his head and glanced at Qiao Yu calmly, but said nothing, just walked away silently.

As the five members of the Pantheon Academy also returned to the rest area, this farce came to an end.

But the public anger caused by Koudijie was not so easily calmed. Countless viewers itched their teeth with hatred, wishing they could go up and give Koudijie two big slaps themselves.

This young man with all kinds of fancy patterns tattooed on his body was just too arrogant!

Some in the audience scolded Koudijie, while others, red-eyed from gambling, scolded Gu Ming.

Even when Qiao Yu walked off the stage, the audience was still in an uproar. The organizing committee had to strengthen security and also cursed Koudijie's ancestors for eighteen generations in their hearts.

But no matter how much they scolded, people still had to be stopped. Koudijie could not be injured, or rather, he could not be injured off the stage.

This was the responsibility that the Great Xia Ancient Kingdom, as the host, should fulfill during the combat competition.

When Qiao Yu returned to the rest area, he found that not only were Zuo You and the other three, but also Shen Jianshu and the five members of Duanshuiliu's team were there.

The atmosphere in the rest area was very tense, and everyone's faces looked bad.

Seeing Qiao Yu come in, Duanshuiliu slowly stood up.

"Junior Brother Qiao Yu, our team has just made a major decision!"

Duanshuiliu's expression was a little dignified, and then he slowly raised his head.

"Our team! Has decided to abstain!"

"Abstain?!" Qiao Yu was a little surprised.

"That's right! Abstain!" Duanshuiliu's expression was firm.

Qiao Yu looked around and found that everyone had a calm expression, obviously already knowing about this. Shen Jianshu was even drinking tea without saying a word.

"Junior Brother Qiao Yu."

The hot-bodied Dai Siyu stood up, instantly reaping a wave of fans.

"According to the rules of the combat competition, the semi-finals will definitely be an internal battle between our team and your team. Rather than wasting energy in vain, we might as well abstain directly and let you prepare for the finals with all your strength!"

Dai Siyu showed a smile.

"Although you are only freshmen, you have already proven it with your actions! You are stronger than us!"

"Fighting Huaqing's first team, fighting Meichuan Kucha High School, fighting Ji Ni Tai Mei Academy. In battle after battle, you have created too many miracles."

"To be honest, we are not confident that we can win against the Pantheon Academy." Dai Siyu smiled bitterly, and then her beautiful eyes became firm. "But I believe you can!"

"Senior Sister Siyu..." Qiao Yu's throat was a little choked up.

He naturally understood what abstaining meant to the first team.

The combat competition is the most grand and most valuable competition in high school. They had already reached the semi-finals, who would want to give up?

You must know that once you enter the semi-finals, you are only one step away from the highest championship throne.

Giving up at this time is like taking off your pants and leaving after your girlfriend has undressed and is waiting for you on the bed.

It definitely takes great self-control to do such a thing.

For the first time, Qiao Yu clearly felt what brotherhood meant.

He had only known Duanshuiliu and the other five for less than a month, but for the sake of the big picture, they were actually willing to abstain directly.

"Thank you!" Qiao Yu said sincerely.

"Okay! Stop being so sentimental!" Qiao Yu's cheap fellow countryman, Long Xiang, also spoke, and he continued, "If you really want to thank us, then step on that Koudijie in the finals too!"

"That's right!" Duanshuiliu also nodded. "We must not let that arrogant bastard walk off the ring standing up!"

"Junior Brother Qiao Yu, if there's anything we can help you with, just ask." Duanshuiliu said forcefully.

"Yes! Don't be polite with us!" Dai Siyu also nodded with a smile.

Qiao Yu thought for a while and found that Duanshuiliu and the others didn't seem to be able to help him with anything...

At this time, Yang Xiangdi on the side couldn't help but ask.

"Senior Sister Siyu, if Brother Yu doesn't have anything, I do have a request that's not too much to ask. It's just a piece of cake for you, I just don't know if you can agree!" Yang Xiangdi made a gesture of wringing his hands like a fly.

"Hmm?" Dai Siyu was a little puzzled. "Tell me!"

"It's just, if I can really defeat the Pantheon Academy, can you let me experience your facial cleanser?"
