Chapter 3734: 4.1334 They Ran Off

Dean Yun blew out his cheeks, glaring as he watched Qiao Mu, Mo Lian, and their group turn and leave. What exactly did that brat want him to "hurry up" and do? Just make sure the contribution points were tallied and deposited quickly! Dean Yun gave the little poker face's retreating back an exasperated eye roll.

Elder Ke, standing by, chuckled and said, "Dean, these children are truly outstanding."

"It's also fortunate that you always prepare for a rainy day, recruiting talents from across the Three Continents. This time, we barely escaped disaster."

Dean Yun scoffed at Elder Ke. "Barely escaped? Which eye of yours saw us 'barely escape'?" The little poker face's team achieved an overwhelming victory, alright? "Barely escape" your whole family!

Elder Ke awkwardly touched his nose, then turned to the students with a smile. "Everyone, those who should be studying, go study. Go do whatever you need to do." The crowd, having watched over a dozen incredibly exciting battles, was still buzzing with excitement. They left in groups, still discussing the dazzling spiritual skill competitions from the previous battles.

Qiao Mu and her group returned to Winter Forest Garden. After a simple meal, they each went back to their rooms to rest.

Contribution Points Escaped!

Early the next morning, someone reported to them that the Tianhua Academy group had already bid farewell to the Dean and departed for their own academy. Hearing this news, Qiao Mu felt a little disappointed. Hadn't the Tianhua Academy people said they would only end their challenge after a hundred matches? She had originally thought she could continue to perform on the arena today and rack up some more contribution points.

But... the contribution points had left on their own accord early in the morning! How disappointing. Qiao Mu's little face was still puffed up during breakfast.

Qi Xuanxuan and the others glanced at her, unable to resist asking, "Qiao Qiao, what's wrong? Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Lord Qiao Qiao said unhappily, "The contribution points ran away."

Qi Xuanxuan, stuffing a bun into her mouth, her expression a little bewildered, opened her small mouth and mumbled indistinctly, "Contribution points?"

Mu Xingchen, beside her, couldn't help but let out a little chuckle. "Qiao Qiao means that the group of students from Tianhua Academy who came to challenge Royal Academy left early this morning."

"Big Brother, you laughed at Qiao Qiao!" Mo Lian and Duan Yue exclaimed in unison, their small eyes full of accusation, as if Big Brother Mu had committed some heinous crime.

Mu Xingchen immediately looked speechless.

Lord Qiao Qiao looked at her big brother with a serious expression. "Big Brother, is Qiao Qiao very funny?"

No, not funny! Mu Xingchen said this out loud, then glared exasperatedly at Mo Lian and Duan Yue beside him. These two brats are clearly almost dying of laughter in their eyes, constantly thinking: Qiao Qiao is so funny! Yet their expressions are so serious, they're practically two extreme paradoxes...

Upcoming Competitions

"For the next two days, let's cultivate well here in the garden. I heard the preliminary rounds for the Tian Yuan Ranking Competition are set for the 18th, that's only two days away."

Mu Xingchen skillfully changed the subject, saying with a smile, "Let's rest and recuperate so we can face this abnormal preliminary round in excellent spirits."

"Big Brother, is the Tian Yuan Ranking preliminary round very difficult?" Lord Qiao Qiao blinked.

"I also heard there's a team battle competition called the Di Yuan Ranking in the academy. Does that not require preliminaries?"

Mu Xingchen scanned the curious group with a strange look in his eyes. "The Di Yuan Ranking competition doesn't require preliminaries. That's because those who participate in the Di Yuan Ranking must already be within the top five hundred of the Tian Yuan Ranking."
