Another fierce wind raged, like a cascading waterfall, and an irresistible force condensed into a wall of air, pushing towards us head-on.

This time, however, Song Caishuang and Liang Fan were on guard. The moment they sensed the danger, they immediately used the momentum to retreat rapidly, all the way back to their original positions. They felt the force of the rushing attack weaken drastically, and then they covered their heads with their hands, focused their strength to resist, and survived the wave.

Their eyes met, both shocked and relieved. The shock was obvious, but they were relieved that the opponent's attack seemed to have a limited range; its force would decrease sharply beyond fifty meters, and their skills were enough to withstand it.

Liang Fan suggested, "Such a large-scale attack will surely cause huge losses. Let's lure her a few more times to deplete her strength. When she's exhausted, that's when we can launch our counterattack."

Song Caishuang nodded in agreement. "No problem, let's do it this way. It might not take that long. Once she's caught off guard with her next two moves, we can take advantage of the opening."

What followed was an extremely bizarre scene on the stage, a battle unlike anything ever seen in the Martial Dao League.

Two players on one side sprint forward simultaneously like in a 100-meter race. When their opponent pushes them forward with both hands, they immediately turn around and run back to the starting point. Without pausing, they turn around and sprint again. Then, as soon as they see their opponent push them, they turn around and run back to the starting point again, repeating this process over and over, creating a speechless back-and-forth race.

"Ha!"

"Whoa!"

"Drink!"

Hongdou was thoroughly enjoying herself, feeling like she was playing a game. She would push her opponent away with her hands, and if she stopped, her opponent would rush over. In all her life, she had never imagined that fighting with someone could be so fun.

The commentators responsible for the match were speechless. Even though they were eloquent and could talk the dead back to life, they didn't know where to begin in the face of this absurd scene. At least, they couldn't find any words in their normal vocabulary to explain what was happening.

After playing it more than a dozen times, Hongdou remained enthusiastic, looking like she could play it dozens more times. Song Caishuang and Liang Fan, on the other hand, had given up and were left with only despair for this trash game.

Holy crap! It's a full-screen attack right off the bat, with no recovery time and infinite combos! What's the point of playing this?!

The gaming experience is terrible!

After a brief hesitation, the two ultimately gave the referee a negative review, conceded defeat, and left the field.

"The winner of the second match is the Linked Mountains University Second Martial Arts Club."

Upon hearing this, Hongdou excitedly asked Chen Shimi for confirmation, "We won?"

Chen Shimi from beginning to end, snorted and said arrogantly, "That's right, you performed very well and did not disappoint me."

Those unaware of the situation immediately elevated Chen Shimi's reputation upon witnessing this scene, as his ability to speak in a condescending tone at least proved that he was of a higher status than the other party.

"But I haven't had enough fun yet. Sigh, why can each person only go once? It would be great if the winner could stay and continue fighting."

The referee, who had been blown off the ring by the strong wind, almost cried upon hearing this. "If you can stay and continue the match, what about the others?"

He quickly went on stage to ask Hongdou to leave, and then, at the organizer's suggestion, urged both sides to send out their third-round contestants as soon as possible, so as not to leave too much time for the audience to reminisce about the previous battle.

In the third match, the Second Martial Arts Club sent Yu Shuying, while the Glacier Martial Arts School sent Song Xiaoshuang.

Song Xiaoshuang has a face very similar to her older sister Song Caishuang, but with softer curves, a slightly taller stature, and a more slender build. If Song Caishuang is a wildflower with thorns, then this one is a cultivated flower carefully nurtured by a master craftsman, making her even more endearing.

Perhaps because she wasn't paired with her sister and was performing alone, Song Xiaoshuang seemed a little reserved. In addition, Glacier Martial Arts School had already lost two matches, so this one could be considered a crucial battle, and the immense pressure made Song Xiaoshuang extremely nervous.

Of course, to outsiders, the Glacier Martial Arts School was doomed. Even if Song Xiaoshuang won this match, it would be too late to turn the tide. It would only postpone the defeat. After all, the four strongest members of the Glacier Martial Arts School had already made their appearance, and the Second Martial Arts Club still had two recognized masters.

However, once on stage, one must give it one's all. Song Xiaoshuang patted her face to calm herself down, while simultaneously activating her sect's internal energy cultivation technique to release a chilling aura and compose her mind.

Across the arena, Yu Shuying stared intently at Song Xiaoshuang, like a snake eyeing a frog. Initially, she seemed somewhat bored and perfunctory, but then she appeared to notice something and revealed an expression of great interest.

"Interesting, this match wasn't a complete waste after all," Yu Shuying muttered, then turned to remind the referee, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and announce the start of the match!"

The referee shook his head helplessly. What's wrong with young people these days? One or two of them have absolutely no respect for their elders. But he still fulfilled his duty and rang the gong forcefully.

The moment the match began, Song Xiaoshuang focused her energy and swept her fingers across the blade, covering the wooden edge with a layer of ice crystals, making it exceptionally sharp and gleaming in the sunlight.

After unsealing the weapon, Song Xiaoshuang planned to strike first and was about to launch the move "Immortal Maiden Plays with Shadows with Shadows". However, Yu Shuying slightly turned her body to the side, dragging her right shoulder behind her and leaning her left shoulder forward.

Upon seeing this, Song Xiaoshuang was slightly startled. This One Sword was originally intended to stab Yu Shuying's right shoulder, but the weakness had been concealed in advance. It was not impossible to continue the sword strike, but the threat would be reduced by 30%.

Left with no other choice, Song Xiaoshuang had to change her move to "Startled Dragon Pierces the Water," but Yu Shuying also changed her move, slightly raising her hand to protect her chest and moving her right foot forward, ready to deliver a flying kick at any moment.

The direction of the attack was predicted in advance!

Song Xiaoshuang was startled. If she continued to thrust out this One Sword, she feared that her opponent's right foot would strike her lower body first. Helpless, she had no choice but to change her move again.

However, after several changes, the result was always the same: their intentions were seen through before they even made a move. Moreover, from a third-party perspective, the scene was extremely bizarre, as if the two were performing a pantomime, constantly changing their postures.

"I can't continue like this, or I'll lose the will to fight... Never mind, I'll just fight first. As long as my sword strikes are fast enough, even if my opponent sees through my plan, they won't have time to react."

Song Xiaoshuang made a quick decision and immediately thrust out One Sword with a ethereal motion, carrying a frosty chill. Moreover, the ice crystals covering the surface of the wooden sword reflected light, interfering with the opponent's vision.

However, none of this worked on Yu Shuying. She had prepared in advance, easily dodging the One Sword, and as the two passed each other, she softly said, "I know your secret."

Song Xiaoshuang ignored it, taking it as a lie, and launched a three-hit combo, attacking the upper, middle, and lower parts of the body.

However, Yu Shuying still avoided the situation in advance and said something that almost made Song Xiaoshuang drop her weapon in fright.

"You're a man."

Chapter 464 The Wang Brothers

Having her biggest secret exposed, Song Xiaoshuang was so frightened she almost dropped her sword and surrendered. Clinging to a sliver of hope, she feigned ignorance. "Ha, ha, what are you talking about? How could I possibly be a man? That's ridiculous! What proof do you have?"

Yu Shuying smiled lightly and said, "Your demanding evidence from me is the greatest evidence. This is acknowledging my suspicion. Anyone with a clear conscience should respond with an absurd expression and continue fighting without paying any attention."

Upon hearing this, Song Xiaoshuang realized what was happening and immediately launched a flustered attack. However, the panic in his heart was transmitted to his actions, causing his Swordsmanship to be full of flaws. He could not even maintain a "seemingly steady" stance. Even if Yu Shuying did not use her Mind-Reading Technique to predict his next move, she could easily dodge it.

This clumsy scheming made Yu Shuying feel like she was bullying a child. Not to mention the schemers she encountered in the Grandmaster Trial, even the gang leaders were a hundred times more cunning than her opponent.

"I don't have any evidence, but this kind of thing doesn't need any evidence. After all, facts speak louder than words, and the biggest evidence is right here in you. As long as I shout that you're a man, whether others believe it or not, a seed of doubt will be planted in their hearts. Under that premise, it's not difficult to find clues that you are a man. For example, when you use the toilet, take a shower, or swim, you'll find the evidence sooner or later." Yu Shuying said slowly and deliberately while dodging.
