On the battlefield, Jianping was very adept at fighting the students, and quickly ended today's battle.
At this moment, the next challenger match began to appear on the big screen in the arena.
[Qi Hong vs. Li Chen]
The loser will give the opponent 2000 Study Points.
The crowd erupted in cheers, as many had already gathered the information.
This match is destined to be anything but simple.
One was a student who fought his way up step by step, and the other was Li Chen, who had long been Ranking Board in the top 20. However, almost all the students knew just how terrifying Li Chen's strength was, but they had never shown it.
After all, Li Chen had never challenged anyone else.
As for the many people on the Ranking Board, they wouldn't be so bored as to challenge Li Chen and get Ruined Pass, after all, they had personally witnessed Li Chen's strength in single-handedly charging into the Eerie Monsters.
Many students have already started placing bets.
Qi Hong's odds, on the other hand, are very high.
1 to 5
What does that mean? If you bet 1 Study Points, and he wins, you lose 5 points.
This indirectly shows that the students do not have a high opinion of Qi Hong.
However, Qi Hong remained silent upon witnessing this scene, quietly investing all his Study Points into himself.
He didn't believe he would lose.
On the other hand, Li Chen wasn't surprised to see his name; he hadn't taken this battle to heart yet.
It wasn't that he was arrogant, but rather that, given his current strength, dealing with these students was a complete disaster.
He had overheard the students' discussion: Qi Hong was a rising star who had the potential to defeat him.
At this moment, Ji Shao, standing next to Ji Mumu, whispered, "Sister Ji Shao, I know that guy Qi Hong!!"
"She's a childhood friend I grew up with in this Ruined City; we're pretty close."
We haven't kept in touch much since I came to the academy.
"Oh? You know him? Or is he from the Ruined City?"
Ji Shao was somewhat surprised, but that didn't explain why he was able to defeat some of the Special Class members who had previously trained in the Ruined City.
Ji Mumu hummed in agreement. After all, she and Qi Hong actually had a pretty good relationship, and she knew that Qi Hong was very stubborn and arrogant.
Even she hadn't expected that Qi Hong would actually make a name for himself at the academy.
And it seems like they're going to clash with the captain of Ji Shao's team.
After all, she had observed quite carefully. Whether it was Sister Ji Shao or Su Xian who was holding the magic book, they were both ranked higher than Li Chen, but Li Chen was the backbone.
Just as Ji Shao was about to ask Qi Hong about his abilities, Li Chen stood up, waved his hand, and said, "I'm going."
Li Chen's eyes turned to the battle arena, and his figure quickly floated up, too lazy to walk on the preparation track anymore.
They were already in the audience seats.
Many trainees saw what was happening here.
Qi Hong naturally noticed it as well. He snorted coldly, stomped his foot on the ground, and flew from the audience seats into the arena.
Two "bang" sounds rang out.
Li Chen and Qi Hong have already entered the arena.
The entire Battle Institute erupted in cheers instantly, as they usually only engaged in minor skirmishes, making this a rare sight.
Qi Hong narrowed his eyes slightly. He couldn't sense any aura emanating from the man in black in front of him, and even detected a dangerous glint in his eyes.
He slowly began to speak, "You must be Li Chen. I've long admired your name."
Li Chen smiled, his eyes fixed on the man before him, his expression unchanged. He could sense the fighting spirit emanating from Qi Hong, as well as a faint but palpable killing intent.
Ji Mumu was right; almost everyone who came out of the Ruined Pass had an innate killing intent, they just weren't aware of it themselves.
Li Chen said, "Let's begin. I'm quite interested in this battle."
"After all, you're the first person to provoke me using a betting system."
In an instant~
Nine blades condensed around Li Chen, each a different color, representing the condensation of nine different energies.
Each weapon has a different effect, but they are all very powerful.
Qi Hong's expression changed slightly. He stomped his foot on the ground, and the ground immediately cracked.
The entire scene began to change.
Once the battle begins, a simulated environment will be created on the battlefield.
Giant rocks rose up from all around.
Li Chen chuckled lightly, flicked his finger, and the light blade instantly shattered the surrounding environment. The environment was as nothing to him as it was; it was better to discard it.
Instantly, the sound of light blades slicing through the air filled the entire battle arena.
The simulated environment dissipated.
Many students in the audience were shocked; just one move was enough to show them the gap in skill.
They don't have the ability to destroy the entire scene.
Qi Hong, however, pulled out a spherical object from his waist, which instantly began to transform.
A jet-black halberd appeared in his hand.
A circular halo began to appear in his hand, accompanied by an extremely strong vibrating sound.
With a "bang," he slammed his hand onto the halberd; this was his ability, "High-Frequency Vibration."
"Space-Rending!!"
Click~ Click~
A shattering sound rang out as Qi Hong slashed through the air, and the arena fell silent.
But suddenly, an extremely strong gust of wind swept past.
The tremors began to reverberate everywhere, leaving even the audience members somewhat bewildered, who initially thought it was an earthquake.
However, they knew it couldn't be an earthquake.
A loud "boom" was heard.
Instantly, dust filled the entire field.
"Interesting, but not enough." Li Chen's lips curled slightly upward, and he remained standing still.
The cracks in the ground in front of him showed just how powerful Qi Hong's attack had been.
However, Li Chen was Sequence User Vector Manipulation. He only slightly changed the energy range, and all the vibrations could not get close to his body at all.
Qi Hong naturally knew that he couldn't win just like that.
Suddenly, a whooshing sound rang out.
From within the smoke, nine blades, each radiating a different kind of light, swept in, instantly dispersing the smoke and dust.
Inside, Li Chen was completely unharmed, even looking at him with a smile.
Qi Hong was immediately incredulous, after all, he knew that although this move couldn't defeat him, it should at least cause some damage.
But he didn't have much time to think about anything else at the moment.
Those blades had already swept in.
The clanging and banging sounds continued.
Qi Hong gripped his halberd and kept striking at the blades of light, but there were too many of them, and his body was soon covered in wounds.
His eyes glared angrily; he knew perfectly well that Li Chen was making fun of him.
After all, those blades were sharp enough to pierce his body, but now they were just toying with him.
Clearly, it's all because of Li Chen.
Qi Hong was instantly filled with rage, and an extremely strong shockwave surged within him.
With a "boom", it exploded from his body.
The surrounding blades were shattered, turning into clusters of energy.
He gripped his halberd, his eyes gleaming with anger, and muttered, "The battle has only just begun."
"High-Frequency Vibration strengthens itself."
