After returning to the inn, Li Ye was already a bit tipsy. Zhiruo and Yan Yuchen supported him on either side as they headed back to his room. Yan Yuchen playfully said, "Brother Ye, you really drank quite a bit today."
Li Ye smiled in response, "It's rare to meet a kindred spirit, so of course I had to enjoy myself."
Lan Xi quietly followed behind. Seeing Li Ye being so close with the two women stirred a hint of disappointment in her heart. She tentatively asked, "Do you want me to help too?"
Zhiruo politely declined, "Miss Lan Xi, you've had a long day as well. You should rest early. We will take good care of Brother Ye."
Lan Xi smiled faintly and nodded, knowing there was still a distance between her and them. She could only return to her room alone. Lying on the bed, she reflected on the evening's banquet, feeling increasingly complicated inside. She tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
Zhiruo and Yan Yuchen helped Li Ye into the room and carefully wiped his body, washing away the smell of alcohol. Although Li Ye was somewhat drunk, he felt warmth in his heart from the gentle care of the two women.
"Brother Ye, you really had a great time today," Yan Yuchen said softly.
"Yes, it's wonderful having you both by my side," Li Ye smiled as he slowly closed his eyes.
Before long, Li Ye fell into a deep sleep. Zhiruo and Yan Yuchen exchanged smiles and settled down beside him, guarding him as he entered sweet dreams.
The elimination rounds had lasted for two days, and finally, the much-anticipated finals of the World's Greatest Martial Arts Tournament arrived. Li Ye brought Zhiruo, Yan Yuchen, and Lan Xi to the competition venue early. The atmosphere of the finals was completely different from that of the Preliminary Round; the entire square had been transformed and was filled with crowds, with sounds of excitement rising and falling.
In the center of the arena, the host stood on a high platform wearing a black robe and sunglasses, a confident smile on his face. This host appeared full of energy as if he had boundless enthusiasm. Using a sound transmission technique, he loudly opened the event:
"Dear audience! Welcome to the finals of the World's Greatest Martial Arts Tournament! I am today's host, Jin Kai! It is an honor to guide you through this peak showdown!"
The cheers from the audience echoed through the air, instantly igniting the atmosphere. Jin Kai continued:
"Before we dive into the thrilling finals, let me first announce the rules of this Martial Arts Tournament and the list of contestants who have advanced to the finals!"
Jin Kai cleared his throat, took out a list, and began to announce:
"This Martial Arts Tournament adopts a points system. Each contestant needs to compete in five rounds to vie for the final championship. Three points are awarded for a win, one point for a draw, and no points for a loss.

"Let us warmly welcome these contestants to the stage!" Jin Kai announced excitedly, as applause and cheers echoed throughout the venue once again.
The finals officially began, with Li Ye and the other contestants taking to the Arena, preparing for the intense battles ahead. Each contestant was making their final preparations, eager to showcase their skills in the Arena and compete for the honor of being the best in the world.
The host stood in the center of the Arena, excitedly announcing: "This round of the World's Greatest Martial Arts Tournament will adopt the simplest and most effective elimination system! A total of eight contestants will be divided into four pairs. The winners will advance, while the losers will exit! Only the final champion can truly claim the title of number one in the world! Now, let’s begin with the group draw!"
The contestants took turns to step up and draw lots for their matchups. In the end, the eight contestants were divided into four groups, with the matchups as follows:
Li Ye VS Su Yue
Zhiruo VS Han Lin
Yan Yuchen VS Gu Qingfeng
Lan Xi VS Shen Yun
The audience buzzed with excitement: "This grouping is truly thrilling!"
"Li Ye faces off against Su Yue; this match is bound to be exciting!"
"The battle between Zhiruo and Han Lin is also full of highlights!"
"Yan Yuchen and Gu Qingfeng are both masters of swordsmanship!"
"Lan Xi and Shen Yun; this match will definitely not be boring!"
Li Ye smiled slightly and said to the three women, "It seems I am the first to take the stage, so let me give everyone a spectacular debut!" The three women nodded in agreement, watching Li Ye ascend the platform.
Su Yue smiled and saluted, "Young Master Li Ye." She teased, "I’m really curious about what kind of man you are to charm all three of them at once."
Li Ye smiled without replying, holding his long sword, he said, "In the Arena, it's all about determining who is superior."
As the match began, Su Yue swiftly drew her sword, the gleaming blade rushing towards Li Ye. Li Ye easily dodged, countering with his long sword as the two quickly engaged in combat, their blades intertwining in a fierce display.
"Young Master Li Ye, your swordsmanship is indeed exquisite, but I’m more curious about what charm you possess that makes all three of them so infatuated with you," Su Yue joked, her sword becoming increasingly fierce.
The audience began to cheer: "Li Ye, come on! Don’t be distracted by the beauties!"
"Miss Su Yue, don’t hold back either!"
Li Ye smiled calmly: "Miss Su Yue, let's focus on the duel here in the Arena." His swordsmanship suddenly accelerated, putting Su Yue on the defensive.
Su Yue gritted her teeth and countered, "You remain calm and unaffected by beauty; it’s truly admirable." She suddenly sidestepped, her sword creating a gust of cold wind aimed directly at Li Ye's shoulder.
Li Ye quickly evaded, swinging his long sword to block Su Yue's attack and retaliating with a strike that forced her back a few steps. Su Yue flipped over to regain her balance and launched another offensive.
"Your swordsmanship is fast, but I prefer to see how you deal with my agility," Su Yue said softly, her figure dancing like a butterfly, the light of her sword flashing as she forced Li Ye to retreat continuously.
The audience's cheers grew more fervent: "Li Ye, go for it!"
"Miss Su Yue, show him what you've got!"
Li Ye's expression darkened. Changing his sword technique, he launched a fierce attack that pushed Su Yue back step by step. Su Yue lost her balance for a moment and was grazed by Li Ye's sword edge, causing her clothing to tear and revealing her fair skin. Su Yue's face flushed slightly, but a glint of cunning sparkled in her eyes.
"Young Master Li Ye, you truly caught me off guard," Su Yue chuckled lightly, suddenly accelerating her assault, the light of her sword surging toward Li Ye like a tide.
Li Ye responded calmly, his sword technique steady as he neutralized Su Yue's attacks one by one. With a swift thrust, he aimed directly at Su Yue's sword hilt, forcing her to retreat repeatedly until he finally knocked her down to the ground with a single strike.
Gasping for breath, Su Yue stood up, her eyes filled with reluctance: "Young Master Li Ye, you have won this match."
Li Ye smiled slightly and sheathed his sword: "Thank you for your guidance, Miss Su Yue."
