Chapter 3723: 4.1323 My Turn to Strike!

Honestly, every time she appeared beside him like a ghost, he felt a huge amount of psychological pressure. Just now, he had used all ten-tenths of his strength, wrapping her in nine layers of spirit fire and sending her flying. It seemed, then, that he should have won this match.

Gapa turned his head to face the scar-faced instructor below the arena and said, "Instructor, you can announce the results now."

The scar-faced man nodded with satisfaction, his face beaming. "I announce that the second round of the Royal Academy vs. Tianhua Academy one-on-one duel, Tianhua Academy's Gapa is victorious—"

"Victorious?" A voice suddenly chimed in from behind Gapa.

Everyone was startled, and Gapa quickly gasped and turned around, immediately seeing the little poker face who had abruptly appeared behind him.

"How could you??" Gapa stared at the little girl in front of him with a shocked expression, then looked up at the sky. A golden sun shimmered faintly above the clear blue sky. He had clearly punched her away, hadn't he? Why did this girl always appear silently beside him?

"You used a teleportation talisman!" The scar-faced instructor, belatedly realizing, suddenly exclaimed, "You used a talisman!"

"What a joke!" Mu Xingchen coldly interrupted the instructor. "We, from the Talisman Family, aren't allowed to use talismans?"

"You're a girl from the Shenzhou Mu family??" The scar-faced instructor exclaimed, even more surprised.

"What, are you, this instructor from Tianhua Academy, trying to say our Qiao Qiao cheated by using a talisman?" Qi Xuanxuan snorted, seizing the initiative. "Let me tell you! All the previous rules were set by you!"

"You didn't say we couldn't use talismans then, only that we couldn't use poison, right?"

The scar-faced instructor was merely surprised, not actually claiming that Qiao Mu's use of a talisman was against the rules. Now, being interrupted by Qi Xuanxuan's rapid-fire retort, he couldn't help but shake his head with a bitter smile. "I didn't mean that."

"Since we already agreed on the rules, there's naturally no reason to change them now," the instructor awkwardly coughed. His Tianhua Academy still cared about its reputation; they couldn't possibly go back on their word under the watchful eyes of the outside academy students.

Qiao Mu's Counterattack

Qiao Mu glanced at the grim-faced Gapa, raised her small fist, and said expressionlessly, "It's my turn to strike!"

You enjoyed punching this Lord Qiao Qiao into the sky before, didn't you? Now it's your turn to take three punches from Lord Qiao Qiao!

As Qiao Mu's words fell, her small fist immediately struck towards Gapa's chest. Earlier, every time she was punched away, she felt the spiritual energy vigorously circulating within her meridians, which was why she gave him the opportunity to punch her, hmph! Now, it was time to get even.

Qiao Mu's punch landed, and a vast surge of spiritual energy rushed forth, startling Gapa, who was already somewhat exhausted. He instinctively crossed his hands in front of his chest and immediately met the little girl's heavy blow.

"Boom!!" After a dull thud, Gapa felt his entire body tremble slightly, pushed by a powerful force, and his feet scraped against the arena floor as he slid backward.

To outsiders, the scene looked somewhat comical. It was like watching a sturdy little mountain being suddenly pushed several meters away by a single punch. Gapa's body was so strong, yet under the little poker face's punch, he moved back over three meters?
