On the arena, the air suddenly became scorching hot. Ji Lingyu felt a terrifying heat wave hit him, almost suffocating him. Every breath he took felt like his nasal cavity was being burned.
He looked up and saw that Zhuge Ni was surrounded by flames. The flames were no longer the ordinary red but a deep crimson, as if they contained the power to destroy the world.
Immediately after, the flames converged rapidly, forming a terrifying sea of fire that enveloped him.
The terrifying heat energy contained within the sea of fire seemed to want to devour the entire world.
As the sea of fire rose, the entire arena trembled violently, as if it couldn't bear this terrifying force.
"Legendary skill! At only level 14, she can already release a legendary skill. This girl's talent is truly exceptional!" Lin Yuan, the chief examiner, had a look of astonishment in his eyes.
"It's a bit of a trick. The magic book in her hand is an epic-level equipment, but she is indeed exceptionally talented," Su Chengxin couldn't help but praise.
"That Ji Lingyu kid is going to lose," another examiner shook his head.
Ji Lingyu's face turned extremely pale on the arena.
He finally understood that Zhuge Ni had deliberately let him get close just for this moment.
"Give up. You can't break through my Crimson Flame Sea," Zhuge Ni, surrounded by flames, with her long hair flying, looked like a female fire goddess.
At this moment, all she had to do was think, and the endless sea of fire around her would swallow Ji Lingyu whole.
Even though she had the upper hand, Zhuge Ni didn't feel the slightest bit of joy.
This move was originally prepared for Ye Lin, but she was forced to use it against Ji Lingyu.
"Hey, you haven't won yet! Don't act like you've already won!" Ji Lingyu's eyes flashed with a fierce look. At this point, he had no way out, so he decided to go all the way. In the next second, he charged towards Zhuge Ni, completely disregarding the threat of the flames.
"Stupid."
Zhuge Ni frowned slightly, and with a lift of her fair arm, the sea of fire instantly condensed into a terrifying wave of flames that crashed down towards Ji Lingyu.
Under the cover of the Crimson Flame Sea, Ji Lingyu had no chance to get close to her.
The wave of flames hit Ji Lingyu like the end of the world, and at this moment, his figure seemed extremely small in the sea of fire, as if he would be swallowed by the endless flames at any moment.
However, facing such a terrifying attack, Ji Lingyu didn't dodge at all. Instead, he charged straight towards the wave of flames!
This sudden move shocked everyone. Ji's father even jumped to his feet in alarm.
"Is this kid crazy? Examiner, get ready to rescue him!" Lin Yuan shouted, then flashed towards the arena.
The moment the flames touched his skin, Ji Lingyu felt an intense pain spread throughout his body, as if countless blades of fire were cutting into his flesh.
His clothes were instantly set on fire and turned to ashes, revealing his charred skin, but he didn't retreat at all.
As a rich young man, death was the thing Ji Lingyu feared the most, but at this moment, he completely disregarded life and death.
Whoosh!
A charred figure burst out of the sea of fire and, in Zhuge Ni's astonished gaze, lunged at her with a sword!
Zhuge Ni never expected that Ji Lingyu would still attack her despite taking the full force of the Crimson Flame Sea. However, she was extremely calm and quickly dodged the attack. But Ji Lingyu's sword was extremely fast and still managed to scratch her left arm, causing blood to seep out.
"Hehe..."
Seeing that he had successfully injured Zhuge Ni, Ji Lingyu let out a cold laugh. At this point, he had been burned into a black charred figure by the flames, but his eyes remained bright.
"I warn you, my boss is the person I respect the most after my dad. If you dare to speak ill of my boss again, don't blame me for being impolite."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Lingyu fainted due to his severe injuries, his eyes rolling back.
Ye Lin didn't hesitate and rushed onto the stage, using the power of the Yin-Yang Twin Bracelets to start treating Ji Lingyu. Ji Lingyu's entire body was covered in burns, and some of his flesh was even cooked.
"I... I didn't mean it. I didn't know he would fight so hard."
Looking at Ye Lin's gloomy expression, Zhuge Ni, for some reason, started to explain herself.
"I know. It's not your fault," Ye Lin said coldly.
Seeing Ye Lin's indifferent attitude, Zhuge Ni suddenly felt a surge of anger in her heart.
"What are you pretending? If it weren't for you deceiving Ji Lingyu, how could he end up like this? In the end, isn't he the one who was harmed by you?"
Ye Lin glanced at Zhuge Ni and then looked away, not bothering to speak further.
The label of "stupid woman" had already been deeply imprinted in Ye Lin's mind. He didn't want to waste any more words with her.
If Zhuge Ni weren't the daughter of his teacher, Zhuge Qianxing, Ye Lin would have already cast a curse on her.
After the medical staff from the college entrance examination carried Ji Lingyu away, Ye Lin turned around and walked off the stage without looking back.
Zhuge Ni watched Ye Lin's retreating figure, her silver teeth clenched tightly. Her beautiful eyes flickered with complex emotions. Suddenly, she remembered Ji Lingyu's words before. The man she had regarded as a cowardly and selfish person could make Ji Lingyu fight so hard.
She couldn't understand why Ji Lingyu would go to such lengths for someone like Ye Lin, who was so cowardly and deceitful.
Her father believed in him, and Ji Lingyu believed in him. Why was it that no one believed in her?
A strange emotion welled up in her heart. Was it envy or jealousy? Zhuge Ni wasn't sure.
But at this moment, her desire to defeat Ye Lin had reached its peak.
She just couldn't stand Ye Lin pretending to be calm and composed when he was actually so cowardly and deceitful. Only a fair and honorable victory could completely clear the knot in her heart.
And there was also the bet she had made with her father. She would drive Ye Lin out of her father's tutelage!
Such a person didn't deserve to be her father's disciple!
Zhuge Ni's face was filled with coldness: "Ye Lin, I will expose your true colors!"
