"I lost…"
Dai Yueyan returned to the Monster Academy area with heavy steps after receiving treatment from a Spirit Master.
His face was pale, and although his physical injuries had healed, the feeling of defeat in his heart lingered.
Dai Yueyan knew he would likely lose, but he never expected to lose so thoroughly, so miserably.
From beginning to end, he hadn't even been able to force out Fang Yang's Spirit, let alone make him move half a step.
"Fourth Brother, it's alright. Fang Yang is so strong, it's normal that you couldn't beat him."
Dai Yuner quickly stepped forward, trying to comfort her brother, her tone carrying a hint of innocence.
"…"
At these words, the other six Heavenly Kings present all fell silent.
Fox King Su Mu cleared his throat and turned his face away.
Long Yue's mouth twitched slightly, and the others also showed subtle expressions.
Comforting someone like that was worse than not comforting them at all.
"Little Sister, you…" Dai Yueyan smiled bitterly and shook his head, reaching out to ruffle Dai Yuner's hair.
Only then did Dai Yuner realize the inappropriateness of her words. Her pretty face flushed slightly, and she stuck out her tongue.
Long Yue took a step forward, patted Dai Yueyan's shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, you don't have to be sad."
"Fang Yang's strength is indeed unfathomable. If it were me, I probably wouldn't fare much better."
He looked deeply in the direction of Shrek Academy, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes.
Fox King Su Mu also added softly, "Long Yue is right."
"Your Highness has done his best. Facing such an opponent, the outcome has already exceeded the realm of normal judgment."
Dai Yueyan took a deep breath, and the sharpness in his eyes gradually returned to its usual state: "You are right. Although this battle was a crushing defeat, it also allowed me to clearly see the gap between myself and a true monster."
He turned to Long Yue, his tone solemn: "Long Yue, if you encounter him in the upcoming matches, you must be careful."
Upon hearing this, a trace of fiery Battle Intent flashed in Long Yue's eyes, and a wild smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "That's even more interesting, isn't it? I can't wait to fight him."
Just then, a royal attendant hurried over and whispered a few words into Dai Yueyan's ear.
Dai Yueyan nodded and said to everyone, "Father Emperor has summoned me and Little Sister. Please excuse us for now."
Watching Dai Yueyan and Dai Yuner's retreating figures, Fox King Su Mu said softly, "This battle was quite a blow to Your Highness."
Long Yue nodded slightly, his gaze still fixed on the distance.
"What about you?"
Fox King Su Mu looked at Long Yue, "If you really face that Fang Yang, how confident are you?"
Long Yue was silent for a moment, then slowly uttered three words: "I don't know."
This answer shocked everyone present.
To make the proud Long Yue say those three words, just how strong was this Fang Yang?
Meanwhile, at Shrek Academy, Fang Yang had just returned to the rest area and was immediately surrounded by everyone.
"Not bad."
Xie Xie stepped forward and patted Fang Yang's shoulder, "You easily defeated one of the Monster Eight Kings, the Tiger King Fourth Prince."
Tang Wulin also smiled and nodded: "Indeed impressive."
"Alright, we'll be leaving now." Fang Yang said indifferently, his gaze naturally turning to Gu Yue beside him.
And so, he slowly departed with Gu Yue, Na'er, and Xu Xiaoyan.
The four walked through the bustling stands towards the exit.
"Damn it, Fang Yang, that guy…"
Xie Xie watched their retreating figures and couldn't help but click his tongue, "He just leaves after the match, that's too carefree."
Fang Yang and the others could leave freely after their matches, but he and Tang Wulin didn't have that privilege.
Although Wu Changkong couldn't control Fang Yang and his group, he was exceptionally strict with the others.
Seeing this, Tang Wulin patted Xie Xie's shoulder and softly comforted him, "It's alright, it'll be fine once we finish our matches."
...Outside the Star Luo Grand Stadium.
"What are your plans next?" Gu Yue asked softly, looking at Fang Yang.
Fang Yang looked at the bustling streets in the distance, a faint smile on his face: "Since we're in Star Luo City, why don't we explore a bit? Staying at the arena all the time is too boring."
"Okay!"
Xu Xiaoyan was overjoyed at the news. She took Gu Yue's arm and said, "Sister Gu Yue, let's go to a clothing store together."
Gu Yue nodded lightly upon hearing this, but her gaze unconsciously drifted towards Fang Yang.
She thought to herself, "That's good. I can buy Fang Yang some clothes."
Na'er also excitedly hugged Fang Yang's arm: "Brother, let's go quickly."
The four walked along Star Luo Avenue, the most famous pedestrian street in Star Luo City. The wide street was free of vehicles, with only leisurely strolling pedestrians.
On both sides of the street, various shops stood in rows, looking antique and somewhat similar to Heaven Dou City.
"Sister Gu Yue, look, that's a clothing store." Xu Xiaoyan pulled Gu Yue, pointing to an elegant shop.
Various exquisite clothes were displayed in the shop window.
"Mm."
Gu Yue nodded, her gaze lingering on the clothes for a moment.
Seeing this, Na'er also pulled Fang Yang and walked in.
The store was spacious inside, with various clothes neatly hung on racks, from casual wear to formal attire, all readily available.
A faint aroma of incense wafted through the air, creating a peaceful and comfortable atmosphere.
"Welcome." A shop assistant dressed in traditional attire smiled and greeted them.
Gu Yue walked directly to a row of men's clothing and began to carefully select.
Her fingers gently brushed over the fabric of a dark blue jacket, feeling its texture.
"This one suits you." Gu Yue picked up the clothes, held them up against Fang Yang, her eyes filled with anticipation.
Xu Xiaoyan chuckled to herself from the side, leaning in to whisper to Na'er: "Sister Gu Yue wants to dress Fang Yang up nicely."
Na'er also pursed her lips and chuckled upon hearing this.
Fang Yang looked at Gu Yue's serious expression and smiled slightly: "Whatever you choose, I'll like it."
Gu Yue's earlobes flushed slightly, but she maintained her composure, then picked out a few more clothes and handed them to Fang Yang: "Go try them on."
Just as Fang Yang walked towards the fitting room, a commotion suddenly came from outside the shop door.
Several young people dressed in luxurious clothes walked in.
The leading man's gaze swept across the store, finally settling on Gu Yue, Na'er, and Xu Xiaoyan, a hint of astonishment flashing in his eyes.
"Three beautiful Young Misses, would you honor me with your company for dinner?" The man walked directly towards Gu Yue and the others.
Gu Yue frowned slightly, just about to refuse, when the fitting room door opened at that moment.
"Excuse me, they already have plans." Fang Yang slowly walked out, looking even more handsome in his new clothes.
His voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable Aura.
"Kid, do you know who our boss is?" One of the subordinates suddenly spoke, his tone arrogant.
"Oh?"
Fang Yang spoke indifferently, and a terrifying pressure suddenly emanated from his body.
"This…"
The young men immediately turned pale and retreated several steps.
The leading man thought to himself, "Not good, I've hit a tough spot."
He quickly bowed and apologized: "Brother, I was blind and offended you."
After speaking, he left in a hurry with his followers.
Watching the group's hasty retreat, Gu Yue gently shook her head: "How disappointing."
"The clothes fit very well, I like them a lot." Fang Yang withdrew his pressure and looked at Gu Yue.
At this moment, the shop assistant walked over, her expression slightly nervous: "Guests, I'm very sorry, those people just now were all from the imperial Family."
"It's alright." Fang Yang said indifferently.
"To compensate you, all clothes in our store are 70% off." The shop assistant quickly said.
"Then thank you." Fang Yang said, not being polite.
Afterward, the four continued to select clothes in the store.
Gu Yue carefully matched several different styles of clothing for Fang Yang, while Na'er and Xu Xiaoyan offered suggestions from the side.
Whenever Fang Yang changed into a new outfit and walked out of the fitting room, the three girls would carefully evaluate it.
"This black outfit suits you very well." Gu Yue gently adjusted Fang Yang's collar.
Xu Xiaoyan teased from the side: "Sister Gu Yue has great taste, Fang Yang looks even more handsome in this outfit."
Na'er also nodded repeatedly: "Brother looks handsome in anything."
In a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, they selected a large pile of clothes.
Not only did they buy new clothes for Fang Yang, but the three girls also each chose a few outfits they liked.
When checking out, the shop assistant looked at the mountain of shopping bags, a rather awkward smile on her face.
By the time Fang Yang and the others walked out of the shop, the setting sun had already dyed the sky red.
