Chapter 122: I'm Willing to "Endure"
"You're cheating! Where's your pharmacist? You didn't bring any pharmacist at all. Where did you get the medicine from? I'm going to report you!" One member of An Muyao's team shouted in anger after being beaten up by Xiao Qingyang and Bai Mingzhe together.
In the inter-school competition, no team was allowed to carry any medicines privately. If they wanted to use medicines, they could only rely on the team's pharmacist to refine them during the competition. Therefore, each team would have at least one pharmacist.
However, all ten members of Long Jingze's team were fierce fighters, and they didn't have any weak pharmacists. So where did the medicines they were using come from? It must be that they cheated and brought them in from outside; otherwise, how could they have medicines!
Thinking that he had caught Long Jingze's team red-handed, this person's voice grew even louder, wishing that everyone watching the live broadcast could see that the Empire's champion team was actually cheating.
Little did he know that his actions were met with disdain from all the Empire's masses and awkwardness from the Federation's masses who had been watching the broadcast. After all, the participants might not have known, but those who had been following the broadcast knew very well that Xiao Qingyang, who fought with strength no weaker than that of someone with an ability, was Long Jingze's team pharmacist.
With such an extraordinary pharmacist present, if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed it.
"Hehe... Cheating? Where did we cheat? Just because our pharmacist is too formidable, you don't want to acknowledge him as one? It's really amusing."
"Hahaha... I can't take it anymore. I knew something like this would happen. Xiao Qingyang, the adorable little one, is just too cute. His combat prowess is so strong that no one dares to think of him as a pharmacist, but he truly is one."
"Xiao Qingyang: Distressed by his own strength.jpg"
"With Xiao Qingyang here, we've already won!"
"What's there to be so proud of? The final result is still uncertain. It's just one more person on their side. Our An Shen team can handle two opponents at once, and the ultimate victory will surely belong to our Federation."
"I really pity those upstairs. They still can't see the truth."
"Let it be, let it be. Losers never want to admit they're losers. Understandable."
"Waiting for the final result. This time, we'll let the Federation's people see the gap between their An Shen team and our male god!"
The barrage of the live chat was almost dominated by viewers from the Empire. Occasionally, a few voices from the Federation would appear, but they were quickly suppressed, having no ability to resist, just like An Muyao's teammates at this moment, being pressed to the ground and forcibly rubbed by Bai Mingzhe and others.
Bai Mingzhe and his three companions had always followed Long Jingze and had been trained by him long ago. If they were to lose in such a competition, they knew they would face training ten times more rigorous than usual.
In order not to exhaust themselves on the training ground, they had to win this competition.
However, compared to Bai Mingzhe and his team, Li Qi and the others were relatively weaker, and they found it difficult to fight against the Federation's team.
It was precisely because of Li Qi and the others that the Federation's team's morale didn't collapse instantly. Otherwise, facing opponents as overwhelming as Bai Mingzhe, they would have no chance.
Although Li Qi and his team weren't as strong, with Xiao Qingyang freely assisting them, the Federation's team didn't stand a chance. The final result would still be their defeat.
In the end, except for An Muyao and Long Jingze who were still fiercely battling, the other members of the Federation's team were already knocked down and tied together to avoid interfering with the fight of their leader.
Bai Mingzhe and his team didn't step forward to help in An Muyao and Long Jingze's battle.
Firstly, An Muyao was indeed one of the most outstanding individuals among the new generation of the Federation, and his strength shouldn't be underestimated. They would only be sending themselves to their death if they intervened.
Secondly, their leader was absolutely unbeatable.
Therefore, Bai Mingzhe and the others remained seated, watching the intense battle between the two.
An Muyao had transformed into a beast form, a majestic white wolf several times larger than the untransformed Long Jingze. Even so, they could only be considered evenly matched.
It was a consensus that Long Jingze didn't transform during the battle, and no one complained about it. Even if Long Jingze transformed, defeating An Muyao would only take a matter of seconds.
The two of them, one as a human and the other as a beast, had already fought dozens of rounds. Although the time didn't seem long, the battle was intense due to the immense strength of both parties.
Xiao Qingyang's gaze remained fixed on Long Jingze. Despite knowing that Long Jingze wouldn't lose, he couldn't help worrying as he watched the huge white wolf repeatedly charge at him.
"Xiaosao, where are you going?" Shen Yu asked when he saw Xiao Qingyang suddenly stand up.
"I'm going to help Ze," Xiao Qingyang replied, immediately heading toward the other battlefield.
He could see the gap between Bai Mingzhe and the others and An Muyao. Even if he went to assist, he wouldn't be of much help. Staying put was the best option, but he couldn't do that.
So far, Xiao Qingyang's strength still surpassed that of the others, and he believed he could hold his own against An Muyao.
That was why Xiao Qingyang stepped forward to help.
However, while he had such thoughts, the viewers watching the live broadcast didn't share the same perspective.
"Where is Xiao Qingyang going? Is he planning to join the fight too?"
"I can't believe it! Has Xiao Qingyang gone crazy? Yes, he's somewhat powerful, but he doesn’t have an ability. There's a gap between him and An Muyao. Getting involved will only cause more trouble. Can't he just stay put?"
"I'm truly baffled. Does Xiao Qingyang lack self-awareness? Or did his recent victories get to his head?"
The live chat was filled with complaints and skepticism about Xiao Qingyang. The Federation's viewers, seeing this situation, were secretly pleased. However, they learned their lesson from before and chose to keep their excitement to themselves. Broadcasting their happiness would surely make them targets for the enthusiastic Empire viewers.
Nevertheless, none of this affected Xiao Qingyang's decision. He couldn't stand idly by and watch Long Jingze fight alone, even if he knew that Ze wouldn't lose.
With Xiao Qingyang joining in, Long Jingze instantly felt much more at ease and noticed his arrival.
Although Long Jingze, in his human form, found it somewhat challenging to deal with An Muyao's beast form, victory was just a matter of time. However, with Xiao Qingyang's arrival, the situation changed. Long Jingze needed to end the battle quickly, ensuring that Yangyang wouldn't suffer even the slightest injury.
As a result, An Muyao had a tough time.
Even without Xiao Qingyang's help, he was already no match for Long Jingze. Now, with another ally joining the fight, Long Jingze seemed stimulated, attacking even faster and more forcefully. An Muyao found it even harder to defend himself, and in a matter of minutes, he sustained more injuries than before.
After approximately two hundred rounds of intense combat, An Muyao couldn't hold on any longer and fell. With this, Long Jingze's team won a substantial number of points in the inter-school competition, securing an absolute advantage and claiming the championship early, thus concluding the competition.
The viewers watching the live broadcast were all left dumbfounded. Whether from the Empire or the Federation, when they saw the live feed stop and the words "Inter-School Competition Concluded" appear, they were unable to react.
The inter-school competition... ended just like that?
It had only lasted for twenty-one days?
This was undoubtedly the earliest conclusion to an inter-school competition since its inception.
But immediately after that, the Empire's people who reacted to the result started cheering because they had won!
The final championship belonged to their Crown Prince, to their Empire!
After the last championship was taken by the Federation in the previous competition, the Empire's masses had endured the Federation's taunting for a long time. Now, they finally had the chance to retort.
After the Inter-School Competition concluded, there would be an award ceremony to honor the top five teams. This ceremony would also be conducted through a live broadcast.
After the cheers from the Empire's people, the live streaming platform for the award ceremony was flooded with eager viewers, ready to welcome the return of their heroes.
As the participating teams saw their teacher approaching them, each member looked confused, not knowing what had happened. When they learned that Long Jingze's team defeated An Muyao's team to claim the championship, the Empire's participants cheered while those from the Federation looked downcast, creating a stark contrast in the atmosphere.
"Let's go back," Long Jingze said, holding Xiao Qingyang's hand, not minding the huge white wolf lying behind them. They walked hand in hand back to their teammates.
Feeling beaten up and force-fed dog food, the white wolf felt quite miserable.
Finally realizing why Long Jingze seemed to have gained immense power, like Popeye after eating spinach, the white wolf thought that maybe he needed to find someone to fall in love with when he returned. Perhaps that would unlock his potential, and his strength would increase too.
Whatever An Muyao was thinking, Long Jingze and Xiao Qingyang didn't pay any attention to it. Soon, their teacher came to escort them back for the award ceremony.
At this point, everyone learned that the Inter-School Competition had concluded early.
Long Jingze's team had participated in award ceremonies before, but it was Xiao Qingyang's first time facing such a large audience, so he felt a bit nervous.
"Don't worry; I'm here," Long Jingze reassured, holding Xiao Qingyang's small hand and smiling with deep affection and indulgence.
Since realizing his feelings for Long Jingze and his desire to be with him, every glance, gesture, and word from Long Jingze made Xiao Qingyang feel at ease.
"Mhmm." Xiao Qingyang nodded firmly, miraculously feeling much less nervous in his heart.
The award ceremony wasn't overly complicated, but it garnered extremely high attention. Not only did the Empire's masses watch it, but also the Federation's. It was undoubtedly the most anticipated event of the year.
The awards were presented starting from the fifth place, and finally, it was time for the main event—the championship team.
Although the championship was won by the Empire's team, the Federation's viewers didn't get so upset that they would turn off the live broadcast. The number of viewers continued to increase.
After leaving the competition planet, everyone's devices had signal reception, and they could receive various information. Long Jingze knew how many people would be interested in the award ceremony, so a plan quietly formed in his mind.
"Next, please welcome our championship team!" With the enthusiastic host's announcement, Long Jingze led his team members to the stage one by one.
Naturally, Long Jingze was the first to walk on stage, followed by Xiao Qingyang, with White Mingzhe and the others following closely behind.
The host congratulated them politely as usual and then asked them to share a few words of appreciation for the award. Naturally, the first to speak was their team captain, Long Jingze.
However, Long Jingze rarely attended such events; he didn't even show up at the previous award ceremony. This time, his appearance thrilled many people, making them more excited to hear his appreciation speech. Even if he said just a few words, they were eager to listen.
However, when the microphone was handed to Long Jingze, he didn't immediately speak. This made the host and viewers somewhat uneasy, fearing that he might be upset.
However, Long Jingze was not angry at all. He simply turned slightly and faced Xiao Qingyang beside him. From his pocket, he took out a small box, and in front of the national audience, no, the Empire and Federation's audience, he half-knelt down and opened the small box, revealing a shining ring.
"Yangyang, will you marry me and become the Crown Prince's consort of the Empire?" Long Jingze nervously said, his tone even trembling slightly.
Host: ...
Thousands of viewers watching the live broadcast: ...
What is happening?
Their Crown Prince is proposing? Proposing to an unknown person?
What exactly is going on?
In an instant, the whole nation erupted.
However, this did not affect Long Jingze and Xiao Qingyang.
In fact, Long Jingze had wanted to propose for a long time. He had already considered marriage when Xiao Qingyang agreed to be in a relationship with him. He just couldn't complete both the proposal and marriage together.
However, at that time, he worried that he might scare Yangyang if he rushed things, so he kept suppressing his feelings.
He was the crown prince of the empire, and he had already revealed his identity to Xiao Qingyang. Before doing so, he had been anxious for a long time, afraid that Xiao Qingyang might get angry and stop talking to him, which would drive him crazy.
But none of that happened. Xiao Qingyang calmly accepted Long Jingze's identity and explanation without crying or getting angry for being deceived. He only responded with a gentle smile.
In that moment, Long Jingze felt warmth melting his entire being. He wished he could hold Xiao Qingyang tightly in his arms, blending him into his very essence, never to be separated again.
He desperately wanted the whole world to know that Xiao Qingyang was his boyfriend and the future princess of the empire, and no one could dare to compete for him.
Especially after the inter-school competition, more and more people would recognize Xiao Qingyang's excellence, and countless admirers would emerge. He had to make his claim known to the entire world.
Today, he had the perfect opportunity, with both the empire and the federation audiences watching the live broadcast. What could be a better chance?
In doing so, everyone in the empire and the federation would know that Xiao Qingyang belonged to him, and no one would dare to covet him.
Long Jingze fixed his gaze on Xiao Qingyang, not missing any detail of his reaction, nervously and eagerly awaiting his response. And then, he heard the most beautiful sound in the world...
"I do."
