Battle with Wang Dongqi

Wang Zhi stood in place, unmoving.

Just as the lightning was about to strike him, his shadow rippled.

A black figure emerged from the shadow.

Ghost Shadow Ninja.

The moment it appeared, it raised its hands simultaneously.

Several shuriken flew through the air, precisely hitting the silver lightning.

"Boom!"

Sparks flew.

The shuriken were knocked away by the lightning, but the silver lightning was also blocked.

Wang Dongqi's pupils constricted.

Such fast reflexes!

But the battle had just begun.

The moment the Ghost Shadow Ninja blocked the attack, its body flashed, turning into a black shadow, and it charged straight towards Wang Dongqi.

Its speed was astonishing, leaving afterimages in the air.

Wang Dongqi snorted coldly and advanced instead of retreating.

This was exactly what she was waiting for!

She raised her Flash Thunder Sword high above her head, and her Second Soul Ring suddenly lit up.

"Second Soul Skill, Silver Snake Dance!"

Streams of silver light scattered from the sword, like countless silver snakes dancing wildly in the air, instantly covering most of the space around her body.

These silver snakes twisted and leaped, weaving into a dense electric net that enveloped her entire person.

Silver Snake Dance was a soul skill she specifically used to counter agile attack-type soul masters.

The lightning not only had strong explosive power, but its paralyzing effect could also slow down the speed that agile attack-type soul masters relied on the most.

Once the opponent was paralyzed, at such a close distance, she only needed to land one more sword strike to finish them off.

She had fought countless times against agile attack-type soul masters of the same level and had never failed.

As long as the opponent dared to get close, they were almost certain to lose.

As the Ghost Shadow Ninja charged into the electric net's range, a smile appeared on Wang Dongqi's face.

As long as this summon was dealt with, the outcome between her and Wang Zhi was basically decided.

However, the next instant, the smile on her face froze.

The Ghost Shadow Ninja's body suddenly became illusory.

The moment Silver Snake Dance descended, the entire being seemed to transform into an intangible shadow.

Its movements were erratic, weaving and swaying through the dense electric arcs. Each time, it narrowly dodged the Silver Snake's encirclement.

The Silver Snakes appeared to cover all space, but in reality, the coverage was not seamless.

Twisted electric lights continuously shifted position, and the Ghost Shadow Ninja moved within these gaps, dancing as if on the tip of a knife.

How is this possible?!

Wang Dongqi's eyes widened in disbelief.

This was just a summon!

How could it execute such a bizarre movement technique?!

Before she could react, the Ghost Shadow Ninja had already passed through the electric net and reached her.

Its dark eyes were mere inches away.

Wang Dongqi panicked. Without time to think, she fiercely swung her Flash Thunder Sword with her right hand.

"Boom!"

Silver lightning erupted, and a violent surge of electrical power exploded, engulfing several meters around.

However, the Ghost Shadow Ninja's body, at the instant the lightning struck, directly transformed into a shadow and burrowed underground.

The lightning hit the ground, creating a shallow pit.

And the Ghost Shadow Ninja was completely unharmed.

Wang Dongqi gritted her teeth.

She knew she couldn't get entangled with this summon anymore.

She had to attack Wang Zhi directly!

She exerted force with her legs, spun around, and charged straight towards Wang Zhi.

But the moment she turned, a sudden pain struck her from behind.

A tremendous force struck her from behind, sending her forward uncontrollably. She crashed heavily onto the ground.

The Flash Thunder Sword flew from her grasp and landed to the side.

She struggled to get up, only to find her limbs unresponsive.

The Ghost Shadow Ninja had emerged from the shadow behind her at some unknown time. It stood there quietly, its dark eyes gazing at her.

If it had wanted to kill her, that single strike could have easily hit a vital spot.

Wang Dongqi lay on the ground, gasping for air, her eyes filled with disbelief.

She had lost?

She, a twenty-nine-level Two-Ring Soul Grand Master, had lost to a ten-year-old One-Ring Child?

Lost to his Summon?

At the side of the arena, Zhang Zhenpeng stared blankly at the scene, his heart deeply shaken.

One had to know that Wang Dongqi, as a contestant from Sea and Land Academy for the Tianhai Competition, had received considerable support from the academy.

She had different teachers instructing her in combat techniques, and dedicated resources were allocated to her. Her overall Strength far surpassed that of other New Students at the Two-Ring level.

Yet, even so, she had still lost.

She was no different from those New Students.

She had even lost faster.

He took a deep breath and announced.

"The match is over. Wang Zhi wins."

As soon as the words fell, Zhou Tian'er rushed forward with a cheer.

"Xiao Zhi! You're amazing!"

She threw her arms around Wang Zhi, jumping and bouncing with excitement.

"I knew you could definitely win!"

Zhou Hanyou also walked over, standing to the side, her gaze towards Wang Zhi filled with a dazzling light.

This ten-year-old Youth was even stronger than she had imagined.

And in the distance, Wang Dongqi slowly got up from the ground, her head bowed. Her Golden Hair, disheveled, fell forward, obscuring her face.

Her shoulders trembled slightly.

One year of effort, just like this...

She bit her lip, remaining silent.

Zhang Zhenpeng walked forward, his gaze lingering on Wang Zhi for a long time, his eyes filled with shock.

As the Dean of the Sea and Land Academy, he had seen no small number of geniuses.

But someone like Wang Zhi, this was the first time he had seen.

One Ring defeating Two Rings...

And it was a crushing victory.

That bizarre Summon, that elusive fighting style, and Wang Zhi's composed demeanor from beginning to end...

This Child was extraordinary.

He couldn't help but look at Wang Dongqi, his tone softening.

"Dongqi, are you alright?"

Wang Dongqi looked up, forcing a smile.

"I'm fine, Dean."

Her smile was bitter.

Zhou Hanyou walked to her side, gently patting her shoulder, saying nothing.

Wang Dongqi glanced at her, her lips moving, but in the end, she said nothing.

Zhou Tian'er also realized her words earlier were a bit excessive. She let go of Wang Zhi and walked in front of Wang Dongqi.

"Um..."

"Dongqi Sister, I didn't mean it like that just now..."

She scratched her head, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Don't take it to heart."

Wang Dongqi looked at her, then at Wang Zhi standing calmly to the side, and took a deep breath.

"I lost. There's nothing more to say."

Her voice was a little hoarse.

"Substitute it is, then."

She turned, preparing to leave.

"Senior student, wait a moment."

Wang Zhi's voice rang out.

Wang Dongqi's footsteps paused, and she looked back at him.

Wang Zhi walked forward, his expression serious.

"Senior student, your Strength is very strong."

"I just took advantage of my Martial Soul's characteristics."

He paused and continued.

"If it were a head-on confrontation, I might not necessarily be your opponent."

Wang Dongqi was stunned.

She looked at the Boy in front of her, who was shorter than her by a head, her eyes complex.

"Are you trying to comfort me?"

"It's not comfort, it's a fact."

Wang Zhi shook his head.

"My Summon is immune to your Lightning."

"If the opponent were different, the outcome might be completely different."
