At this moment, all of Bai Xiaowen's combat skills were on cooldown, including the control skills for summoning creatures, which he had almost used up.

Mi Dong was aware of this as well. After his initial shock, he calmed down. Facing the swarming summoned creatures such as Rageclaw and Butcher, he slightly bent his knees and used his Heroic Leap skill.

A surge of air stunned all the summoned creatures that had surrounded them. Mi Dong leaped high into the air, raising his broadsword high with both hands, drawing a powerful and beautiful arc in the air.

The Heroic Leap will trigger a shockwave upon landing, causing damage and stunning the target at close range. The initial stun effect upon jumping is clearly an additional effect added after skill enhancement to level 4.

Bai Xiaowen moved sideways, Mi Dong landed heavily three meters in front of him, his broadsword striking the ground and leaving a deep crack, the shockwave spreading outwards.

Although Bai Xiaowen was not stunned, the shockwave successfully slowed him down. Mi Dong stepped forward, shouted, and swung his hands in a broad horizontal slash.

Bai Xiaowen anticipated the attack and gracefully retreated, his cloak billowing in the wind. Mi Dong's sword narrowly grazed his chest.

Mi Dong continued his pursuit. By this time, Rageclaw and Butcher had caught up, and he needed to finish them off quickly.

With a crack, a Thunderstrike Art landed, and Mi Dong's body trembled, his movements freezing.

Then, Mi Dong felt a sudden, sharp pain in his back, and the figure of the Shadow Assassin slowly emerged from the darkness, the Assassination succeeding once again. However, because Mi Dong was wearing heavy armor, his physique and defense were very high, this sword Assassination did not trigger an instant kill, but it successfully inflicted Severe Bleeding on Mi Dong.

Mi Dong immediately used a hemostatic agent, then slashed vertically with his broadsword, unleashing the "Hamstring" skill, which hit Bai Xiaowen and applied a slow effect.

At this moment, just as Bai Xiaowen's previous deceleration effect was about to dissipate, Mi Dong's deceleration chain was perfectly coordinated.

Bai Xiaowen suffered continuous damage from shockwaves and Hamstring injuries, Life Value to drop to 120 points again.

Mi Dong strode forward, his broadsword slashing diagonally. The Hamstring's slowing effect was as high as 40%, making it impossible for Bai Xiaowen to escape. If he could land two more strikes, Bai Xiaowen would undoubtedly be defeated. Although it was already difficult for his side to win this round of the King of the Hill Mode, defeating Bai Xiaowen would be considered an achievement.

However, Mi Dong's eyes narrowed slightly. Facing his slash, Bai Xiaowen did not retreat but instead charged forward! The two were about two meters apart before, but now they were practically inches apart, as close as an ox lying down.

"You think closing the distance will prevent me from using my two-handed greatsword effectively?" Mi Dong sneered inwardly. Although he was a tank-type class, specializing in one-handed weapons, Mi Dong's Two-Handed Swordsmanship had already reached advanced level 5. Bai Xiaowen's attempt to take shortcuts wouldn't be so easy.

Mi Dong gripped the broadsword with both hands and pulled it back, changing his previous slashing motion to a cutting motion, aiming at Bai Xiaowen's side of the neck. In his hands, the broadsword somehow possessed the agility of a one-handed sword.

"Beautiful swordsmanship."

Bai Xiaowen smiled slightly, her Blood Rage flaring up again, and she ducked into Mi Dong's arms.

The impact seemed unremarkable, but Mi Dong felt a tightness in his chest, almost unable to breathe! His body inevitably stiffened, and then his right arm was tightly gripped by two iron-like hands. His body was turned upside down, flying up as if riding the clouds, and then crashing heavily to the ground!

Kusanagi-Style Ancient Martial Arts - Flash Shoulder Throw.

Absolon's phantom roared as it crashed out, Mi Dong's Life Value to drop by nearly two hundred points. Meanwhile, Bai Xiaowen, enveloped in a crimson aura that boosted Critical Hit, drew his Desert Eagle again, stepped back, and fired.

"How is that possible! He's a Mental Specialist; even if he had Kyo Kusanagi's grappling techniques, he wouldn't pass the strength test!"

Mi Dong didn't have time to think it through and scrambled to his feet. But in that brief moment, Rageclaw, with its superior agility, had already swiftly arrived and blocked his path once more.

The Heroic Leap skill is on cooldown, Mi Dong cannot escape the Rageclaw ' hold for the time being. The Butcher's heavy body is also rapidly approaching...

Unable to get close to Bai Xiaowen again, Mi Dong could only grit his teeth and fight against Rageclaw and Butcher. However, Bai Xiaowen had already activated Rapid Fire. With the critical Critical Hit rate bonus from the Blood Essence Stone's Killing Thirst and the strength bonus from the Agony Potential, Bai Xiaowen's output was exceptionally powerful at this moment!

Blood splattered on Mi Dong's body, but his high physique and high Life Value meant he wouldn't collapse anytime soon. However, after glancing at Bai Xiaowen's health bar, he suddenly felt dizzy.

While continuing to fire, Bai Xiaowen's Life Value shamelessly and slowly recovered—this was by using the Blood Drain effect of the Blood Essence Stone to replenish his Life Value.

Upon realizing this, Mi Dong had no more strength left to resist and raised his hand to concede defeat. Continuing to fight would only turn him into Bai Xiaowen's blood bag, and even more tragically, with his strength and agility, his offensive capabilities were insufficient to take down either Rageclaw or Butcher.

Zhu Jue, the last player from Tsinghua University to take the stage, is a well-rounded warrior, a level 6 Elite Tier. His strength and agility are relatively balanced, with neither attribute being exceptionally high or low.

The advantage of this moderate approach is that it has no obvious weaknesses. Zhu Jue can play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses according to the type of opponent. Simply put, if someone is stronger than me but not as fast, I can use hit-and-run tactics; if someone is more agile than me but not as fierce, I can launch a strong attack.

However, Zhu Jue's appearance was no longer in doubt. Bai Xiaowen seized the opportunity and used a powerful Howl Rageclaw Suppression to kill him, then disappeared in a flash of light.

When Bai Xiaowen's close-up image reappeared on the big screen, the Tsinghua University fell silent. A sense of oppression quietly spread.

"Yay! We won! Captain was awesome!"

In the away team's rest area, Chen Guowei didn't care about anything else and jumped up the moment the victory announcement sounded.

Li Shuyi and the others all had smiles on their faces, but when they saw the resentful looks from the Tsinghua University, they tugged at Chen Guowei, signaling him to keep a low profile.

The bespectacled, cute girl hosting the match sounded noticeably downcast, "The battle is over. The final champion is Bai Xiaowen from Jinghai University. The first match, the SOLO Mode King of the Hill Mode, is won by Jinghai University..."

She avoided mentioning the phrase "one against five," and said weakly, "Now, players, please take a 30-minute break. Let's watch a replay of the highlights of this battle..."

Unlike the somber atmosphere at the scene, the online comment section was filled with jubilation.

"I knew the Spirit Channeling Prince was awesome, go buy it now!"

"9900 points, you won't regret it, it's an absolute steal!"

The most frequently appearing comments and bullet screen messages were "one-versus-five," with other phrases like "Bai Xiaowen is awesome" also flooding the screen. More people opened the store interface and quietly purchased a batch of the Spirit Channeling Prince Hero Tier character.
