“Other people might think the spirit wine has run out, but Elder Wu mentioned that Xiao Wu found a bottle of spirit wine in the Secret Essence Mine!”

“What? She was almost buried alive, and she was still able to bring out a bottle of spirit wine?”

“Yes! Elder Wu tried to ask her for some, but she wouldn’t give him any.

“But she added some to the dishes we ate.

“How did Sun Yu become a Spiritual King? How did we all make progress? It’s all because of Xiao Wu!”

Wow!

After that, everybody knew what had happened.

Feng Wu was the reason they had all made progress in their cultivation.

“Xiao Wu! Xiao Wu!”

Everybody ran to her side.

Feng Wu had just figured out the sequence for the other team with Chen Ziyun.

The spirit wine was supposed to be a secret, so they couldn’t thank Feng Wu openly.

However, they still felt they should say something.

Both the spirit wine and Master Taihe’s dishes had come from Feng Wu. No one could deny that.

They all looked at Feng Wu but didn’t know what to say.

Feng Wu knew what they were thinking. She glanced at them and said, “You’re going to jump over a cliff if you can’t win this battle!”

“Yes, of course!” Everybody nodded.

Sun Yu stared at Feng Wu in excitement.

He had made the greatest progress of all of them and had become a Spiritual King.

Without Feng Wu’s help, he might never have become one in his lifetime.

“I won’t allow anyone to disrespect you in the future!” Sun Yu said solemnly. “If they do, I’ll kill them, along with anyone who tries to spread rumors about you!”

Feng Wu didn’t know how to react.

Just then, she saw people coming into the arena.

And more kept coming.

There hadn’t been that many people during the junior team competition.

Not only was the auditorium full, the judges had arrived.

Chen Ziyun knew Feng Wu didn’t know most people here, so he explained to her, “The Military Academy students all sit in the area on the left. They’re here to support their team. Because it’s an away game for them, they take up only about one-third of the seats.

“The area on the right belongs to our school. They didn’t want to watch us at first, but the seats are all occupied now. I think they have some confidence in us.

“Look there.” Chen Ziyun pointed at the judges. “The two seats in the middle belong to the two people with the highest authority from the two schools during this competition.

“Elder Wu will represent our school.

“That elderly man represents the Military Academy. He’s Gongshu Hongzhu, a major general in the army. His status in the Military Academy is the same as Elder Wu in our school.

“Next to Elder Wu is Mr. Gongsun Mu, and next to Major General Gongshu is Miss Chu Yun.

“We’re still waiting for one more person.”

Feng Wu asked, “Who?”

“The chief judge.” Chen Ziyun gave Feng Wu a meaningful look. “His Royal Highness, the sixth brother of His Majesty, has been the judge for as long as I can remember. This year is no exception.”

“His Royal Highness?” Feng Wu asked. “Is he the one who is away all the time and lives like a wandering ranger?”
