One Against Three!

Although Shi Haiyan appeared timid, he quickly put aside any unnecessary emotions once he was on the battlefield.

As soon as the bell rang, Shi Haiyan brandished his greatsword and strode toward Li Shuyi.

We can't delay. The longer we delay, the more Li Shuyi's Life Value and skills will recover.

Li Shuyi changed her aggressive playing style and turned to leave. In this chase, the two quickly entered the area around the corner of the field.

Li Shuyi was faster than Shi Haiyan at circling the pillars. After Shi Haiyan chased her for a lap, she had already created some distance and ran back to the center of the field, heading towards another pillar diagonally opposite.

"We're at a disadvantage in terms of movement speed! We can't let this continue!"

Shi Haiyan immediately launched a charge, leaving a trail of blood in his wake, and in an instant he was in front of Li Shuyi, bringing his greatsword down in a downward slash.

Seeing that she had nowhere to retreat, Li Shuyi used her agility to fight back, dodging Shi Haiyan's attacks while constantly looking for opportunities with her twin swords to leave wounds on Shi Haiyan's body.

Shi Haiyan originally wanted to test his sword skills— Li Shuyi was only a freshman, while he was already a junior, a seasoned veteran with the advantage in Battle Specialty and skills.

However, after a few moves, Shi Haiyan's heart sank. Li Shuyi's Swordsmanship Specialty to his. The result of the swordsmanship contest was that his Life Value were reduced by a significant amount, while Li Shuyi naturally recovered a little.

Shi Haiyan quickly changed his playing style.

With a soft hiss, Li Shuyi's slender sword pierced Shi Haiyan's side. She glanced at Shi Haiyan with some surprise.

Shi Haiyan roared and slashed sideways with his greatsword! Li Shuyi couldn't stop in time and was struck in the shoulder by the sword, leaving a terrible wound!

A trade of injuries! Both of their Life Value dropped sharply, but Li Shuyi was clearly at a greater disadvantage. As a strength-type Elite Tier, Shi Haiyan's single-hit damage with his two-handed greatsword was higher than Li Shuyi's!

Despite the pain, Shi Haiyan continued to wield his sword, his movements wide and sweeping, displaying a reckless and extremely ferocious fighting style.

Li Shuyi gritted her teeth, and suddenly raised the blood-red longsword in her right hand, shooting out a burst of blood light! Instantly, a fountain of blood gushed out from Shi Haiyan's body, and the blood was greedily devoured by the blood-red longsword, raising Li Shuyi's Life Value by a significant amount.

The Redleaf Lord's Glory Sword, with its additional skill Blood Drain activated! Li Shuyi simultaneously absorbed 10 points of Shi Haiyan's power, resulting in a 20-point increase or decrease in power—a move that could turn the tide of battle.

"He really did have a trump card!"

Shi Haiyan was not alarmed but delighted. Without hesitation, he drank a bottle of potion to restore his condition, removing the negative effect of reducing his strength by 10. Then, with a loud shout, a giant phantom flashed behind him and slashed down at Li Shuyi's head!

Combat Skill - Colossus Strike!

The giant phantom behind Shi Haiyan exuded a powerful aura of Intimidation, forcing Li Shuyi to take the blow head-on! This was the special effect of Colossus Strike at LV4: Stun: Enemy targets within melee range will be briefly immobilized and unable to move!

Li Shuyi took a deep breath, and a ring on her right hand glowed faintly— the Void Ring's Intangibility skill was activated!

Shi Haiyan's greatsword, accompanied by a whistling wind, sliced through Li Shuyi's body.

... Then, it Heavy Cleave, as if it had just left a shadow.

"This is..." Shi Haiyan's eyes widened.

Li Shuyi was like Ghost, her figure ethereal. She disregarded her defenses, leaving her wide open, and her twin swords lashed out mercilessly.

Now, it's Li Shuyi's turn to play with all her might. And it's Shi Haiyan's turn to be completely baffled.

Despite his lack of understanding, Li Shuyi's desperate actions were exactly what Shi Haiyan wanted. He roared and slashed at her with his sword.

However, the sword still sliced through the air.

"A hallucination?" Shi Haiyan was dumbfounded.

However, Li Shuyi's twin swords brought a distinct burning pain, confirming to Shi Haiyan that this was not an illusion.

"Ghostly state? No, ghosts can't perform physical attacks..."

Shi Haiyan swung his sword again, but it still only sliced through the air. By this time, Li Shuyi's twin swords had already pierced his body with numerous gashes, and Li Shuyi's two passive abilities were rapidly stacking up!

"Run!"

Shi Haiyan finally made a wise decision, but unfortunately, it came too late.

Strength-based Elite Tier are meant for head-on combat; how could they possibly outrun an agile warrior like Li Shuyi if they tried to fight on the move?

With the combined effects of her talents, Li Shuyi's agility surged, and she instantly blocked Shi Haiyan's path.

Swish, swish, swish!

The two swords moved like a spinning wheel, thrusting and stabbing at high speed.

Without any worries about the rear, and without needing to consider dodging, Parry, or Block, Li Shuyi launched a full-scale attack, resulting in terrifying damage output. There's a reason why she could become the main damage dealer in Bai Xiaowen's team, which had a large number of summoned creatures.

Many high-ranking bosses in the Spirit Realm have already proven this with their lives.

"They actually have more than one trump card... Boss Bai's regular teammates are really impressive..."

Before he could finish speaking, Shi Haiyan collapsed.

One against three!

When the big screen showed a close-up of Li Shuyi for the third time, everyone in the auditorium remained silent, watching Li Shuyi, whose face was somewhat pale but who still stood proudly on the battlefield like a plum blossom in winter. Even the cheers for the home team were much quieter.

Many students at Shandong University, even subconsciously, began to support this seemingly aloof but strong-willed girl.

In the home team's locker room, Bao Yiming stood up.

Meanwhile, Bai Xiaowen, in the away team's locker room, also stood up.

The two walked out of the lounge at the same time. The battle had just ended in slow motion, and Yun Xiaozhu was saying, "Please send the next challenger from the Shandong University Team..."

"It's just me left, so of course I'll go." Bao Yiming glanced at Bai Xiaowen across from him with a resentful look. He already had a premonition that Shandong University's CUAA class was probably already out of the running.

Bai Xiaowen calmly stated, "We request a substitution."

"A substitution?" Yun Xiaozhu was slightly taken aback, then recalled the rules. "The rules do allow substitutions, but the substituted contestant cannot return to the stage to challenge again; they are considered defeated... Are you sure you want to make a substitution, Captain Bai Xiaowen?"

"I'm sure." Bai Xiaowen nodded slightly.

Who will play?

"Me," Bai Xiaowen said briefly.

Such substitutions are relatively rare because the substituted player is considered to have lost, so it's better to keep them on the field and wear down the opponent as much as possible. Even forcing the opponent to use a skill is a net gain.

Bai Xiaowen chose to replace her because Li Shuyi had already fought three consecutive matches, used up almost all of her skills and trump cards, had less than half of her Life Value, and had several serious wounds on her body.

In this situation, fighting Fatty Bao is tantamount to suicide.

Li Shuyi returned from the battlefield space with a somewhat pale face. Her injuries had been automatically repaired by Psionic Particles, leaving no scars. However, she was definitely mentally exhausted from the three previous battles.

"I can actually fight again, at least I can replace one of Bao Yiming's throws," Li Shuyi said softly.

"No need..." Bai Xiaowen gently hugged Li Shuyi and said softly, "You've done enough. Leave the rest to me."
