God-Tier Sequence, Void Witch.

Kong Huanyuan’s eyes glistened with a misty haze. Her ultimate defeat had resulted in her becoming nothing more than the spoils of her opponent.

She knew nothing about Su Yu, nor could she predict what awaited her in the future.

What was more despairing was the thought of her promise to her mother. It felt as though the castle she had built from grains of sand had been blown away by the wind. All her grand ambitions had come to an end at this moment.

Su Yu looked at her, and her gaze was filled with confusion, melancholy, and a touch of resentment.

He gently cupped her face and rubbed her cheek. “Don’t worry. I’ll treat you well.”

The Crown of Blood had already lifted its control over her.

Standing at Su Yu’s side, Alia silently observed.

Kong Huanyuan clenched her fists tightly, biting her lip. “Take your hand off me.”

Su Yu smiled serenely. “I refuse.”

“You’re completely drained. Even your contract is flickering, barely stable.”

“But I think you’ve realized one thing, haven’t you? My blood—isn’t it…”

Su Yu didn’t finish his sentence, but Kong Huanyuan had already felt it.

Su Yu’s blood was intoxicatingly fragrant. She found herself irresistibly drawn to it, yearning for just one sip.

Lethal Allure—it was irresistible to a higher-sequence being like her.

As a God-Tier Sequence, her desire for it was unsurpassable.

Su Yu wiped the blood from her cheek—the same blood that had splattered on her earlier—and held his bloodied fingers in front of her lips.

“How about it? Do you want it?”

Kong Huanyuan’s breathing grew shallow and erratic.

This gesture, this approach—was he trying to make her submit completely, in body and soul?

No. She was the Void Witch of the Void Clan!

But the scent, so alluring and inescapable, combined with her exhaustion and depleted energy, left her no choice.

Finally, she closed her eyes. Even though her spirit resisted, her body, driven by instinct, opened her mouth and bit down on Su Yu’s fingers.

Alia, feeling the pangs of jealousy, gave Su Yu a sharp pinch. “You’re having your way again.”

Su Yu kissed Alia on the cheek with a smile. “Alright, I’ll make it up to you after this is over.”

“Isn’t there still one more target, though?”

Alia smirked knowingly. She took out some pre-stored blood from Su Yu and drank it in a few quick gulps before taking flight toward the weakened Shi Shaolong and Yan Ling’er.

The Witch’s Night domain was on the verge of collapse. When the world outside bore witness to this scene, how would they react?

No doubt, pressure would mount on Su Yu.

But it was too late to change anything. The rice was already cooked.

On the other side, Shi Shaolong and the other Jianghe University students were completely subdued by the creatures emerging from the Immortal Temple. They had no strength left to resist.

Shi Shaolong watched anxiously as Alia approached Yan Ling’er. “W-what are you trying to do?”

Yan Ling’er trembled uncontrollably. Ever since she was dragged into this Witch’s Night, it had felt like a living nightmare.

Alia teased, “Don’t be so tense.”

“Become one of my attendants. It might not be such a bad thing for you.”

“Drink a drop of my blood, and your constitution will transform into that of a Moonlight Herald.”

Reality left them no room for refusal.

In an office at Imperial Capital University:

“Old man, it’s been ages since you last came to Imperial Capital. What’s got you so interested today?”

The speaker, Jiang Huairen, the principal of Imperial Capital University, held a teacup in hand, exuding a calm demeanor.

The visitor outside his window was none other than Ning Hanwen, the principal of Magic City University.

Ning Hanwen squinted his eyes. “If I hadn’t come, I’m afraid you wouldn’t be able to handle a certain situation later.”

Jiang Huairen’s deep gaze sharpened as he stared out the window, his mind racing through countless possibilities. It couldn’t be about the demonic lairs. Then his thoughts shifted—could it be about the Nine-School Alliance Tournament?

“You mean…”

He quickly composed himself, smiling faintly. “Kong Huanyuan won’t lose. After all, she’s…”

Suddenly, he recalled Alia’s profile. This old man had traveled all this way—an unsettling premonition began to take root in his heart.

Could it be that she wasn’t just a vampire or a Moonlight Herald but a true progenitor of the Vampire Race?

Jiang Huairen inhaled sharply. “No, impossible. Kong Huanyuan never mentioned…” He abruptly changed his tone. “Even if that’s the case, aren’t you worried Kong Huanyuan might win instead?”

Ning Hanwen pulled out a flask of fine wine. “Then let’s wait and see the final outcome. Here, try this—an exquisite brew I stumbled upon from the Drunken Demon Well in the Calamity Lair.”

Jiang Huairen narrowed his eyes at Ning Hanwen’s tranquil demeanor, silently mulling over the situation. His spiritual power extended across the campus, observing Rose Plaza.

Outside the Witch’s Night domain:

Because Su Yu had led away all the beasts,

Wave after wave of students successfully reached the mountaintop.

The strangest thing was—

The snow on the mountain had stopped falling, and the winds had died down.

All that remained was the snowy peak, blanketed in silver.

Roughly thirty students from Magic City University and Imperial Capital University gathered at the summit.

Each group formed their own cluster, eyeing the others coldly.

Liu Xuan frowned in confusion. “What just happened? Where’s Su Yu? And what’s with this scoreboard?”

Chen Fei from the Magic Plant Department shook his head. “No idea. But there was definitely a major battle here earlier.”

“Could it be that Su Yu already won? Maybe he advanced early? I mean, look at his score…”

Liu Xuan nodded lightly. That was a possibility.

On the other side, Yang Shijia of Imperial Capital University’s Combat Department chuckled. “Haha, how naïve.”

“They’ve obviously been dragged into Kong Huanyuan’s domain! It’s a shame—no matter how strong your Su Yu is, winning against Classmate Kong’s domain is nothing but a pipe dream!”

“Looks like Imperial Capital will claim victory in this tournament once again!”

Imperial Capital students brimmed with confidence. Kong Huanyuan, a semi-public God-Tier Sequence, was deemed unbeatable.

Liu Xuan’s expression darkened.

Yang Shijia was ranked 22nd on the Great Xia Potential List. With the support her family had given her before the tournament, Liu Xuan now had the strength to beat him. But if Su Yu lost to Kong Huanyuan, this tournament would…

Next to Yang Shijia, another Imperial Capital University student, Kong Ji, speculated, “We haven’t seen Shi Shaolong or any of the Jianghe students either. Could they have been taken out in Classmate Kong’s domain as well?”

The others chimed in, “Probably! As expected of the goddess of my heart, so strong and beautiful!”

“I’d trade my entire Beastmaster career just to be her boyfriend for a day.”

Yang Shijia tapped them lightly. “Shh, don’t let Kong Huanyuan hear that.”

“But seriously, I can’t imagine anyone winning her heart. She’s so cold and unattainable. I haven’t even spoken a word to her this entire tournament.”

The others nodded in agreement.

Suddenly—

A sharp cracking sound broke through the air.

Everyone at the summit, along with the spectators in Rose Plaza, realized the domain was shattering.

Kong Huanyuan and the others were about to emerge!
