Chapter 18: Like

After the first round of the first matchday, there was no suspense, and the next two days were not worth mentioning. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

No matter how bad luck a strong person is, no matter how much he dies, he can still advance to the next round. For example, although Mao Chen only had 1 win on the first day, he still relied on his strong strength to win consecutive victories in the next two days, accumulating 13 wins and entering the next round.

This kind of multi-game round-robin format is not a good idea. Those who can rank in the forefront must also be strong.

Ye Mo won 5 wins on the first day, 8 wins on the second day, and 5 wins on the third day.

In the three-day game, Ye Mo did not compete with Chi Zi, which made Ye Mo a little regretful.

On the fourth day, it is the rest day of the college. At the same time, the promotion list of each department is also posted on the bulletin board of each teaching building. When Ye Mo went to the library in the afternoon, he also saw one at the door of the library, so he stopped to take a look.

This list basically did not surprise Ye Mo, and there were many familiar names on it.

In the water system branch, Ye Mo ranked first with 18 wins, Chi Zi ranked second with 15 wins, Wang Zhan ranked third with 14 wins, and Mao Chen ranked fourth with 13 wins. Dark, Yanli's number of victories is unbeatable, and this 30-win record is too dreamy.

Ye Mo asked himself that he was not capable of winning all under the conditions of the combined competition of the third and fourth grades. In contrast, Liang Tianwei's good result of 16 wins was overshadowed by the light of words. Ye Mo was really glad to have participated in the competition of the water system.

It's a pity that he didn't see Yanli's game. Ye Mo went to the dark department after playing his game two days later, but he didn't see Yan Li, only her results were written on the scoreboard. After thinking about it, he speculated that Yan Li took the initiative to play at the beginning of the second and third days, and finished the 10 games directly. If you don't, you won't have a chance to win if you play too late. Seemingly... Yan Li is really persistent about skipping grades.

But what he didn't realize was that his curiosity about Yanli was no longer what a watcher should be.

What he didn't know was that Yan Li was just doing this to see more books in the library.

Also with 30 victories is Ye Yu, who participated in the competition in the light department. In fact, this result is not surprising, Ye Yu put into the competition of the light system like a hungry wolf killing into the flock. Huo Yizhou of the soil system won 22 wins, and Yi Ge of the wind system won 20 wins, leaving the second place in the list of their respective departments. The number of victories in the fire system is generally lower, not because the strength of the fire students is not as good as that of other colleges, but because the magic of this department is too aggressive, and victory often requires a greater burden and cost. And communicating with the fire element all year round, magicians will inevitably be a little grumpy. There was a fire game that almost had an accidental injury, but fortunately, the referee reacted in time, otherwise the Ziyang Demon Martial Academy would have been scolded by the parents of these students.

Therefore, the first place in the fire system is only 12 games, even if Ye Yu competes in the fire department, he may not be able to play better.

Ye Mo's predictions before the game were basically correct, and he knew the opponents in the next game. I just hope that he won't meet Ye Yu in the last round, otherwise he may have to release the water again.

However, his goal is only to skip a level, and it is enough to get the first place in the water system.

That's it, everything is under control.

Next to this announcement, another announcement that seemed to have just been posted attracted Ye Mo's attention.

Because the headline of that announcement is: The rules of the second round of the Magic Branch of the Ziyang Demon Martial Academy.

To condense it, it roughly means: the first place in each department will play the fourth place, and the second place will play the third place. The winner of the two races will determine the winner of each division. And the venue of the duel, the largest demonic beast forest in the entire empire next to Ziyang City.

Seeing this, Ye Mo frowned.

If it was the kind of ring match before, Ye Mo could guarantee that the certainty of winning was 100%. But this kind of complex environment, although it is very beneficial for a dual-system mage like himself to add dual cultivation of magic and martial arts, but after all, there are many unstable factors - environmental factors, demonic beasts, deviations in intelligence...

This made Ye Mo a little uneasy. But the rules have been posted, and all he can do is adapt.

He continued to look down:

The site is a near-circular field with a diameter of two kilometers circled by the Academy. The lethal element in the venue has been removed. Players will be followed and protected by a referee during the game, but the referee shall not interfere with the game.

The competitions of each department are held at the same time, and the order of the competitions of different divisions is earth, fire, water, scenery and darkness.

"Interesting..."Ye Mo shook his head and stopped thinking about this, and walked into the library.

Ye Mo went up to the second floor through the blue light curtain, and the library was as quiet as ever. Ye Mo remembered the scene when he saw Yanli for the first time that day, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of anticipation in his heart.

That quiet and beautiful scene, after meeting Yanli for the first time, Ye Mo recalled it from time to time.

He shuttled through the bookshelves in the dark area, found the book he wanted, and headed straight for the reading area with a small round table.

Ye Mo walked out of the edge of the dark area lined with bookshelves, and his vision suddenly opened up.

He looked at the window, and as he expected, Yan Li was sitting quietly by the window, holding a book and reading intently.

Coincidentally, today's Yanli is wearing the same dress they wore when they first met. This made Ye Mo a little dazed when she saw this scene, as if she was back in the afternoon of that day, some hot summer breeze blew in through the window, Yan Li's long black hair moved gently with the breeze, she pulled the hair in her ear, and continued to read the book.

Ye Mo's heart began to beat thumping thump, and his face was a little hot.

He took a long breath to calm himself down and walked softly to Yanli's table.

Ye Mo's arrival slightly blocked Yan Li's light, Yan Li raised his head, and his clear eyes were filled with a little kindness after seeing Ye Mo.

Ye Mo saw that Yan Li seemed to mind his arrival, so he boldly pulled out the stool and sat opposite Yan Li.

Yanli withdrew her gaze and continued to focus on the book.

Ye Mo also slowed down and took out one or two cups and a pot of herbal teaโ€”they were prepared at home, and he brought a set of cups. He poured two glasses, one of which was gently pushed in front of Yan Li, expecting Yan Li to taste it. Ye Mo was not in a hurry, and looked at his book calmly.

It seems that because of the faint fragrance of books that Yan Li's body vaguely emanates, as well as the magical temperament of new peace and tranquility around her, Ye Mo gradually immersed himself in the book.

Suddenly, Ye Mo heard a slight noise. When he looked up slightly, he found that the cup of tea in front of Yan Li seemed to be missing. Ye Mo immediately lowered his head, and a sense of satisfaction welled up in his heart. But this little bit of caution was immediately snuffed out by himself, and he was forced to continue reading the book.

In this way, the two of them were silent to each other, each immersed in the world of the book. When she feels that her mouth is dry, Yanli will gently take a sip of tea. When the tea bottomed out, Ye Mo helped Yanli refill the tea. The two have known each other for a short time, and they don't communicate much, but they are like old friends who have been together for many years.

In the tranquility and calm, the sun is slanting in the west, the bright yellow sunlight is gradually dyed orange and red, even the call of the summer cicadas is slowly quieting, the sky is hung with colorful clouds, and the sky is gradually darkening.

Yan Li gently closed the book, closed her eyes as if reminiscing about the book she had just read, and then stood up. Ye Mo noticed the movement here, and immediately closed the book and looked at Yanli.

Yan Li's eyes were still clear, and he said to Ye Mo with gratitude, "Thank you." โ€

Under Yan Li's sincere and clear gaze, Ye Mo actually felt that he couldn't afford Yan Li's thank you. He was a little at a loss, and his eyes were a little confused.

But Yanli is Yanli, she didn't care about this, and turned around and left after thanking her. Leaving Ye Mo to watch her departing back.

It wasn't until Yan Li walked around the corner that the huge bookshelf blocked Ye Mo's view of Yan Li that he came back to his senses.

Secretly scolding himself for being a fool, Ye Mo hurriedly put away the book and tea set, and quickly followed.

After walking around the corner, Ye Mo found that Yan Li hadn't gone far, so he called out to stop Yan Li.

Yan Li turned around, not with dissatisfaction on his face, but looked at Ye Mo seriously, as if waiting for what Ye Mo had to say.

Ye Mo followed and stood in front of Yan Li, "What you have been watching just now seems to be "The Destruction of the Empire", right..."

Yanli nodded.

Ye Mo breathed a sigh of relief after receiving an affirmative answer, and said eloquently, "I just read that book some time ago, and there is a slight error in the content of the second subsection of the third chapter in it, the monarch was not actually hanged, and another unique book I found in the library recorded the dictation of one of his favorite guards, the emperor found a stand-in, and he secretly absconded to other countries to escape." After comparing some details, I found that this account is indeed credible, and it was about to be reported to the library a few days ago. โ€

Yanli listened attentively, nodded, and opened his mouth as if to say thank you.

But Ye Mo waved his hand and spoke first, interrupting Yanli, "No, if you say thank you, you already said it just now." I think the mistake in the book is the most misguided, because it tends to be unconditionally trusted as an authority. I just don't want you to be misled. โ€

Yan Li listened to these words, and did not insist on saying thank you as Ye Mo wished. That didn't seem to be what Ye Mo wanted.

Therefore, she tilted her head and thought for a moment, then raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint, quiet smile, as if she was expressing her friendliness and gratitude to Ye Mo in this way.

The world in Ye Mo's eyes turned gray and white, and the time around him seemed to have stopped, and only the moment Yan Li's smile bloomed, the whole world gradually returned to its original splendor.

Among the smiles he had ever seen, there were cheerful laughter, touching smiles, and happy smiles, but there had never been a smile so shocking and healing. It was as if there was a warm spring in his heart, and streams of warm water flowed through his veins to his whole body.

He was healed by this, like a spring breeze caressing, like a warm spring water moistening his heart.

Ye Mo also smiled, this was perhaps the most reassuring and innocent smile he had ever shown since he was seven years old.

"Yanli, what kind of person are you..."

"Still, I really want to protect this smile."

He finally knew one thing.

He likes Yanli, he likes it so much.
