Red Tiger swiftly closed in and slammed a straight punch into the shield, but Zhongli did not retreat a single step. He casually raised Vortex Vanquisher and sent Red Tiger flying once more.
It was not as though Vortex Vanquisher lacked a blade. Zhongli was simply afraid of crippling him, so he kindly used only the shaft, sending Red Tiger flying in the simplest and most brutal way possible. At the very least, it would not leave him permanently disabled.
Some time later
Compared to Feng Yangzi, who leaned toward the Agility Attack System, Red Tiger was undoubtedly better at sustained frontal combat. Zhongli also had to control Vortex Vanquisher to avoid crippling him, creating the appearance that Zhongli could only suppress Red Tiger rather than defeat him.
At the same time, more and more students gradually gathered nearby. A scattered few stood out in the open, while most hid in various places. They were wary of one another, all wanting to profit from the chaos, and the situation had become extremely complicated.

Therefore, Red Tiger had to be worth quite a few points!
