Chapter 295: Competition Voided
On the huge circular bluestone square, two young men stood facing each other. Around the square, rows of stairs continued to extend upwards, and the stairs were filled with students who came to watch the game.

At the top of the stairs there is a bluestone platform, behind which sit the vice-president of the academy, a group of elders and the referee.

The referee stood up and shouted, "Round 38: Alchemy Department Lu Mu vs. Yellow Rank Class 2 Xiao Yan!"

As the referee finished speaking, the entire square suddenly became noisy.

"Will Xiao Yan still be so lucky today? Senior Lu Mu is not only an alchemist, but also a third-grade great fighter. I guess Lu Mu can kill this weak Xiao Yan with just one punch!"

The scene of Xiao Xun'er and Xiao Yan holding hands and participating in the competition together in the morning was still vivid in everyone's mind. Although Xiao Yan took a shower and changed into clean clothes, this still could not get rid of the impression of Xiao Yan as a weakling in everyone's mind.

"Senior Lu Mu, beat him up! Beat Xiao Yan up!" Almost everyone in the square was cheering for Lu Mu, and no one wanted Xiao Xun'er to be with this weakling.

"I have already told Lu Mu that as long as he can cripple Xiao Yan or even kill him, I will help him get Xiao Yu. Besides, Xiao Yu and Xiao Yan already have conflicts!" Bai Shan said with a gloomy face.

"Isn't this too much?" Hu Jia looked at Xiao Yan in the audience with a trace of pity.

"Hmph! Do you want Xiao Xun'er to be with this loser?" Bai Shan snorted coldly.

"I agree with Bai Shan. It's better to kill this kind of trash as soon as possible to avoid being an eyesore!" Although Wu Hao was rejected when he confessed his love to Xun'er, he didn't want Xun'er to be with Xiao Yan. He investigated carefully and found that there was nothing special about Xiao Yan. There was no trace of fighting spirit on his body, and no soul fluctuations. He looked groggy, as if he had not woken up yet.

"Xiao Yan, I advise you to leave Miss Xun'er! You are indeed not worthy of her. For Xiao Yu's sake, I will not hit you. Just admit defeat and leave Xun'er!" Lu Mu in the field heard so many people cheering for him, smiled slightly, looked at Xiao Yan and said with a frown.

"Haha, your fighting spirit is weak, and you've obviously taken too many drugs. You're obviously not worthy of my Yu'er, so you'd better give up! With your current level, you're not worthy of her!" Xiao Yan said to Lu Mu with a faint smile.

"You...Okay! You don't want to accept my toast, so you have to drink a penalty toast, right?" Lu Mu was so angry that he laughed. He meant well, but in the end Xiao Yan outwitted him.

Lu Mu tapped the ground with his toes and rushed towards Xiao Yan like an arrow. However, he seemed to have thought of something and slowed down halfway through. He didn't want to be like Xue Beng yesterday and rush out of the battle circle for no apparent reason.

When Lu Mu approached Xiao Yan, he punched Xiao Yan. The strong wind from his fist blew violently, making Xiao Yan's clothes rustle.

"Great! Xiao Yan will definitely be blown away this time!" When the audience saw that Lu Mu was about to defeat Xiao Yan, they immediately showed excited expressions, as if Xiao Yan would vomit blood and die in the next moment.

"Bang!" A muffled sound was heard, and Xiao Yan did not move at all. Lu Mu felt that he had punched the air.

silence!

Deathly silence!

"I protest! This must be a fake match! A fake match! There must be something going on!" The audience on the stairs saw Lu Mu punch Xiao Yan, but Xiao Yan was fine. After a moment of silence, they protested loudly. "How is this possible? Although Lu Mu's fighting spirit is a little weak, he is still a third-grade master. Even if I don't defend myself, I will be injured by his full-strength attack. Even if I defend myself, I won't have no reaction at all. Did Lu Mu show mercy?" Bai Shan was puzzled after seeing this scene.

"How could Lu Mu be like this? For Xiao Yu, he even did something like cheating!" Hu Jia said unwillingly. She couldn't breathe a sigh of relief until she saw Xiao Yan vomiting blood and dying.

"As for cheating, it is possible. After all, Lu Mu is from the Alchemy Department. His status is higher than that of the students in the inner courtyard. This assessment is dispensable to him!" Wu Hao gave his own analysis.

"Damn it! Xiao Yan escaped again this time! This guy is so disgusting. I heard that Xiao Yu is his cousin! For the sake of victory, he was willing to give away even his cousin. This guy is so disgusting!" Bai Shan said with a gloomy face.

"Brother Xiao Yan is always like this, he likes to play tricks on others." Xun'er saw Lu Mu constantly attacking Xiao Yan, even using all his strength, but Xiao Yan didn't move at all, she couldn't help but chuckle.

"Xun'er, can you tell me the truth, how strong is Xiao Yan?" Ruolin had fought with Xiao Yan before, so she naturally knew how terrifying Xiao Yan was. Although she didn't know why his mental state was so bad, she knew how strong Xiao Yan's body was. Now he was immune to the attacks of the Great Fighting Master. This was too terrifying.

"I'm not too sure about this, but it seems like Brother Xiao Yan's physical strength has reached the level of a sixth-rank magical beast!" Xun'er got this news more than half a year ago, and she wasn't very clear about how strong Xiao Yan is now.

"A sixth-ranked magical beast! That would be a Dou Huang!" Ruolin's jaw dropped when she heard this. No wonder Lu Mu's attack was ineffective! It would be a miracle if it was effective. A great Dou Master could barely injure a Dou Huang unless he used a ground-ranked fighting skill, and at most he would only scratch the skin.

But Lu Mu is just a useless person with weak fighting spirit. Even if he has earth-level fighting skills, their power will not be very great. Even if he is given a year, he will not be able to hurt Xiao Yan.

After seeing this scene, the vice president and a group of elders on the podium shook their heads helplessly and winked at the referee.

The referee smiled bitterly and shook his head. These students couldn't understand, but these old guys also knew that it was because Xiao Yan's body was too strong. He could only shout loudly: "In this battle, Xiao Yan wins!"

As soon as the referee finished speaking, all the students were stunned. Is there no one to do anything when it's so fake?

"I protest! Xiao Yan is playing a fake match, I don't accept it, I want to go on stage and compete with Xiao Yan myself!" Seeing Xiao Yan win by cheating, these students finally couldn't bear it anymore, and they began to boil like boiling water.

"Quiet!" Vice President Hu Qian stood up and shouted. His voice was like thunder and all the students in the field suddenly fell silent.

After seeing the students quiet down, Hu Qian chuckled and said, "Xiao Yan did not cheat. If he really did, I would punish him severely. Of course, I also agree to your request. The next game will no longer be a one-on-one duel by drawing lots. That would be meaningless."

Upon hearing this, all the students were immediately confused. It used to be one-on-one, but now it’s not like that anymore. So what?

"Haha, since you think the competition is unfair, I declare the previous results invalid. Now all the people participating in the inner courtyard assessment will have a melee in this square. No matter what means you use, the last fifty people left on the stage will enter the inner courtyard. The ranking will also be determined in the form of a melee. Whoever leaves the battle circle first will be ranked later, and the last one standing in the field will be first!" Hu Qian smiled faintly.
