Losing by a Narrow Margin

Seeing that he was about to fly out of the arena, Luo Yan quickly stuck the Longxiang into the arena, and he stopped immediately. Then he swung back onto the arena and returned to the arena.

Before he could adjust his posture, Li Jun charged at him again. Luo Yan slashed with his sword, but Li Jun dodged it with strange movements, like a slippery fish, and then punched Luo Yan.

Luo Yan was prepared this time. When his first attack missed, he immediately used the "Footwork: Dragonfly Touching Water Skimming Water" to dodge, causing Li Jun's punch to miss.

At this moment, Li Jun's fist once again sprang to life with a burst of sweat, followed by a violent explosion.

In the stands, many people stood up and craned their necks to look at the ring.

"What's going on? Another explosion! What kind of technique is this?"

"Have you noticed how smooth Li Jun Jun's movements are? Like a slippery eel."

"Hey, get out of my way! Can't anyone watch the game?"

On one side of the arena, inside the Yujing Academy.

Yang Ziqi clenched her fist and whispered, "Senior Li, come on, don't lose!"

Wei Feng, with a bandage wrapped around his forehead, laughed and said, "Don't worry, Li Jun is very strong, and Classmate Luo is already at his limit; he won't lose."

Zhang Xiaowan sighed, "I wish I had Li Jun's talent. I'm too stupid and I'm dragging everyone down."

Behind them, Fu Yan, sitting in a chair, gave a cold laugh.

"Talent?"

"Senior Sister Xiao Wan, you're insulting Senior Li Jun!"

"Senior Li Jun didn't get to where he is today by relying on talent. He got here step by step, relying entirely on perseverance and hard work."

"Senior Li Jun's Divine Treasure is Super Physique, not a particularly powerful ability in itself. It is through Senior Li Jun's relentless development of his Divine Treasure ability, selection of suitable cultivation methods, and rigorous training that he has achieved what he has today."

"That can't be summed up with just the word 'talent'!"

On the arena, Luo Yan used the "Dragonfly Touching Water" technique to instantly cut into Li Jun's side. The Longxiang left a dark streak of light, accompanied by a terrifying whistling sound, and slashed towards Li Jun's ribs!

He realized from the previous battle that Li Jun's reaction was not actually that fast, so now he cut into Li Jun's blind spot. Even if Li Jun reacted immediately upon hearing the sound, he would not be able to dodge this sword.

Luo Yan's prediction was correct. Li Jun was a beat too slow to react. By the time he turned around, the Longxiang were already pressed against his skin.

Luo Yan decisively pulled the heavy sword.

At this moment, Li Jun shouted loudly, and his Primal Energy surged forth.

When the Longxiang collided with his Primal Energy, it was as if it had hit something oily. The heavy sword suddenly slipped, and Luo Yan could no longer concentrate his power. The Longxiang slid to the side.

What's going on?!

As Luo Yan's pupils dilated slightly, Li Jun seized the opportunity to slip away and launched a sweeping punch!

Luo Yan leaned back to dodge Li Jun's punch, but he couldn't avoid the sweat that dripped from Li Jun's fist.

The sweat suddenly burst forth, and a raging flame rushed towards Luo Yan.

Dragon Scales appeared on Luo Yan's back, and Longxiang protected him in front of him. He felt a violent tremor throughout his body and staggered back several steps.

After shifting his position, Li Jun turned and slid, bursting out of the dissipating flames. He gathered his strength in both hands and then unleashed countless punches like a machine gun.

Instantly, Li Jun seemed like a thousand-armed Guanyin or a hundred-armed Arhat, with countless fist shadows imprinted almost without gaps on Luo Yan's body and sword!

Each time Li Jun's fist struck its target, it triggered an explosion, causing Luo Yan's body to shake violently, his feet lifting off the ground from the intense barrage of explosions.

"Classmate Luo in trouble! Look, Li Jun has him pinned down, he can't even run away!"

"No, it's more troublesome than that. Classmate Luo's feet are off the ground now."

"Li Jun is really strong. His punches are fast, and every punch causes an explosion. Classmate Luo was even blown off the ground by the blast."

"Here it comes, Li Jun is about to unleash his ultimate move!"

A gasp rippled through the audience.

On the stage, after Luo Yan was blasted into the air, Li Jun slid back a small step, curled up into a ball, and then his body expanded like a spring, his right fist slamming upwards like a cannonball.

In the sky, Luo Yan had reached his limit, but he still roared and mustered his remaining strength to raise the Longxiang high.

Then, with a flick of his sword, he unleashed a burst of electric Thunderlight, slashing down towards Li Jun's fist!

Combat Skill, Thunderclap!

Instantly, everyone on both sides of the ring, in the stands, and throughout the entire stadium held their breath.

When the fist collided with the heavy sword, there was no muffled thud as everyone had expected.

Luo Yan's sword suddenly slid across his fist, changing direction and instead slashing towards Li Jun's shoulder.

Li Jun's fist struck Luo Yan's abdomen almost without pause.

Luo Yan's expression changed.

A violent tremor followed simultaneously with raging flames.

Luo Yan was uncontrollably blasted into the air by Li Jun's punch, flying far out of the arena and landing on the grass.

A cloud of Blood Mist also spurted from Li Jun's shoulder. Even though he had deflected and dispersed the power of Luo Yan's sword, he was still left with a wound. Thump.

Luo Yan fell to the ground, rolled twice, and the Longxiang slipped from his grasp. He lay sprawled on the grass.

Just then, he heard the referee blow his whistle. "Hundred Battles Academy, Luo Yan, off the field!"

"Victory, Yujing Academy, Li Jun!"

Upon hearing the result, Luo Yan paused for a moment, then looked at the sky simulated by the holographic dome above his head and burst into laughter.

This was the most enjoyable and exhilarating match he had ever played in the Grand Sports Meet.

Although Luo Yan didn't manage to defeat Li Jun, today's experience was invaluable.

At this moment, the medical team rushed over, put Luo Yan on a stretcher, and then took him to the medical room for examination.

After a thorough examination...

Once it was confirmed that Luo Yan had only exhausted his physical Primal Energy, and that he didn't have many injuries, the doctor released him.

Luo Yan first drank a bottle of Functional Drink, rested for a while, and regained some strength before arriving at the Assembly Hall.

When he came out.

The match is over.

After he left the arena, Hundred Battles Academy sent out Bai?, but Li Jun, despite the strange attacks, managed to throw Bai? off the stage after some effort.

With Bai Yi's defeat, none of the remaining students could match Li Jun.

As Luo Yan walked out, he happened to hear the referee's announcement.

"The match is over. The winner for today is..."

"Yujing Academy!"

Applause erupted in the stadium, and the audience shouted loudly.

"Li Jun, you did a great job!"

"Don't be discouraged, Hundred Battles Academy! You are very strong!"

"Keep going, everyone! Let's keep moving forward!"

At this moment, the students from the Hundred Battles Academy walked over. Zhao Ping saw Luo Yan, scratched the back of his head, and said, "I'm so sorry, Classmate Luo."

"You created such a good situation for us, and we were so close, but we were still defeated by Senior Li Jun."

Bai, head bowed, said, "If I had been more careful and switched between my strange abilities a little faster, I might have been able to defeat Senior Li."

Luo Yan reached out and patted her head, saying, "It's alright, we can win it back in the Forbidden Zone Combat."

Zhao Ping clapped his fists together and said, "Classmate Luo is right. Besides, although we lost, we still made it into the top three!"

"Let's hurry back to the hotel and ask Teacher Wei what the reward is for making it into the top three!"
