Meteor Spell (2-in-1)

2nd floor.

Li Shuyi crossed her arms in front of her, smashed the window, and Roll on the spot. In the instant she crashed in, she saw Qiao Rui holding a bamboo flute and playing it.

As she landed, a rune on the ground activated, transforming into a transparent cage that attempted to Imprisonment Li Shuyi.

However, Bai Xiaowen's Berserk Talisman had already entered and landed on Li Shuyi, instantly turning her entire body crimson and putting her into a state of immune control! The rune trap also dissipated powerlessly.

Li Shuyi crouched down, then shot forward like a spring compressed to its limit, slashing down with both swords.

A hint of helplessness flashed in Qiao Rui's eyes. The rhythm of her playing suddenly changed, from the original gentle and tender to sharp and intimidating, inexplicably reminding people of the grim scene of Golden Blades and Iron Horses and iron armor.

Sonic Strike Array - Destructive Sound Scale.

The sound waves materialized, and transparent Sonic Wave Arrow shot towards us.

Li Shuyi slightly turned her body, Sonic Wave Arrow grazed her shoulder, causing blood to splatter. At the same time, her twin swords also struck their target.

In an instant, Qiao Rui's figure became ethereal. Li Shuyi's two swords sliced through the air.

"Soulwalk?" Li Shuyi was stunned for a moment. Bai Xiaowen had previously Insight that Qiao Rui's combat skills did not include this ability.

Qiao Rui smiled, but before she could speak, a voice echoed in Li Shuyi's mind, "Junior, you can't beat me, not even with Xiao Wen's immunity control."

Li Shuyi took a deep breath, dispelling the feeling of defeat in her heart, and rushed to Qiao Rui.

"Under the Spirit Realm Rules, there is no such thing as absolute invincibility. The stronger the skill, the greater the limitations and costs! Senior, you're thinking too simply to undermine my confidence!"

At this moment, Qiao Rui was in Soulwalk state, unable to be targeted and able to ignore obstacles. Li Shuyi firmly believed that such a powerful state must have a corresponding price, either a short duration with a long cooldown, or extremely high consumption.

Qiao Rui continued playing the bamboo flute, the Destructive Sound Scale transforming into Sonic Wave Arrow that whistled out.

However, Li Shuyi had already rushed in front of Qiao Rui, standing right next to her. In a flash, she turned around and circled behind Qiao Rui! The sonic arrow missed its mark.

Finding the boss's back is a common technique for agile awakened characters, and it's incredibly effective against spellcasters. Li Shuyi often coordinates with Bai Xiaowen's summoned creatures to attack the boss, and by constantly circling behind the boss, she's become extremely skilled at this technique.

Qiao Rui turned around and Sonic Wave Arrow, which Li Shuyi dodged from behind.

Qiao Rui originally had other control skills and would never have allowed an agile awakened being to get so close to her. However, Li Shuyi is currently still under the immunity effect of the Berserk Talisman, and without a control skill of priority 8 or higher, there is no way to deal with her.

Qiao Rui quickly changed her strategy, ceasing to unleash the Slaying Sound, and altered her tone once again, returning to a gentle Soul Melody.

The battle below was equally intense.

Xiang Hui went to find the enemy's marksman (Snipe), so he wouldn't have to worry about being suddenly attacked by snipers for a while.

However, on the other side, after Ouyang Heng escaped the Vengeful Spirit's mana drain, he activated the speed boost skill on his shoes and instantly rushed in front of Feng Zi'ang — Feng Zi'ang had just fallen from the knock-up effect of "Undercurrent" and hadn't had time to get up yet.

Ouyang Heng's two-handed greatsword crashed down.

Crack! Lightning struck, and the Bone Warlock's Lightning Strike hit Ouyang Heng, interrupting his attack! This was a highlight reel-worthy moment, as interrupting a melee attack is far more difficult than interrupting a spellcaster's casting animation.

The Bone Warlock followed up with another skill, Ghost Path, which put Ouyang Heng into Fear Status.

Ouyang Heng roared to the sky.

[Ocean Roar: Summons the power of the ocean tides, unleashing a Stun roar that slows all enemies within a 10-meter radius and stuns enemies within your melee range. The duration of this skill is doubled in naval combat. Three-star skill]

This roar was clearly more than just literal; at the same time, Ouyang Heng's Fear Status was completely dispelled! Moreover, Feng Zi'ang, who was trying to escape, was unfortunately knocked unconscious by the roar.

A ripple in the air revealed the Shadow Assassin behind Ouyang Heng, who was also caught off guard and became dizzy.

Ouyang Heng raised his sword and brought it down in two strokes, cutting Feng Zi'ang to the ground.

Of course, he also paid a price. Bai Xiaowen seized the opportunity and fired two shots at him, both hitting vital points and taking away one-third of Ouyang Heng's Life Value.

"If it weren't for the weakening effect of Soul Melody, Ouyang Heng would definitely be down to half health." Bai Xiaowen thought to himself. He glanced at his status bar and saw that the 10-second duration of the two layers of Soul Melody was less than three seconds, and no new layers had been added. It seemed that Li Shuyi's attack was effective, at least delaying Qiao Rui's performance.

However, Bai Xiaowen underestimated Qiao Rui's abilities.

Just before the weakening effect wore off, the soft, melodious sound of a bamboo flute rang out again.

Ouyang Heng also heard the flute music. He turned around and revealed a cold smile, "Looks like your girlfriend is already dead... You're next!"

"Impossible." Bai Xiaowen shook his head; Li Shuyi wouldn't fall so easily. However, he had no time to think about it now and threw out a bottle of Frost Potion.

With a whoosh, the poison bottle exploded at Ouyang Heng's feet, instantly putting him into a state of double slowdown of 25%.

Bai Xiaowen fired as he retreated, and Ouyang Heng raised his broadsword to Block. Before the slowing effect wore off after he rushed out of the deceleration zone, he was shot again, and his Life Value dropped further.

However, Ouyang Heng wore a smug expression.

"It's almost time."

A sense of unease welled up in Bai Xiaowen's heart. He glanced at his left wrist and saw that the face on it had changed to a panicked expression.

In the sky, the clouds billowed and turned crimson! A huge meteorite fell from the sky, landing right in Bai Xiaowen's direction!

Under the powerful wind pressure, Bai Xiaowen was Stun, his movements slowed to a crawl, and he could only watch helplessly as the fiery meteorite drew closer and closer!

At this point, it was too late for Li Shuyi to activate her team's Tether skill; the distance between her and Bai Xiaowen had exceeded 100 meters.

The Butcher appeared not far away and hurled his chains with a clang.

However, Wu Chaojie, the square warrior of the Yanda team, rushed out at the same time and stood between Butcher and Bai Xiaowen, blocking the hook with his own body!

Boom!

The burning meteorite crashed to the ground, kicking up huge clouds of smoke and dust, and the ground trembled as if a small Earthquake had occurred!

Bai Xiaowen... in the end, he couldn't escape the range of this Meteor Spell!

"Well done!" Ouyang Heng shouted to the rooftop to the side.

On the rooftop, an Awakened One dressed in a mage's robe leaned against the wall, slightly out of breath. He was another Mental Specialist from Yanda University, named Zheng Bing, a mage.

On the rooftop, Zheng Bing had been preparing the "Meteor Spell" scroll for a full 20 seconds before casting it. Moreover, after casting it, Zheng Bing himself would have to suffer the cost of having all his attributes temporarily halved.

However, the power of the Meteor Spell Scroll is more than enough to justify its demanding usage conditions and high cost. With Zheng Bing's current level 7 Awakener and 49 points of Divine Might, it can theoretically deal nearly 1,000 points of mixed damage to enemies within the area!

If an enemy who is hit by the attack survives, they will need to pass a physical examination; otherwise, they will suffer severe injuries.

However, is it possible for Intermediate Awakened to survive being hit by this attack, even if they are Hero Class?

Ouyang Heng looked at the billowing dust and sneered, "Even a level 6 tank Hero Class wouldn't survive this meteor... Bai Xiaowen, so what if you and that dog Life Sharing? I'm going to crush you and that dog to death!"

According to prior calculations, Bai Xiaowen and Rageclaw's combined Life Value Life Value would be at most 600 points, and with Qiao Rui's weakened Soul Melody, the total health points would be even lower! And how much resistance could Bai Xiaowen possibly have?

If the Meteor Spell successfully hits Bai Xiaowen, it will be a victory. As for using a precious S-Tier Meteor Spell Scroll, Ouyang Heng doesn't care at all.

Yes, this Meteor Spell Scroll was loot he obtained himself, and it was within the rules.

Of course, rules are always relatively fair; absolute fairness is impossible.

After Ouyang Heng used this S-Tier scroll, not to mention the compensation from Yanda University, the forces behind him would directly provide him with more powerful items, so he wouldn't have to worry about running out of trump cards during his exploration of the Spirit Realm.

After the Meteor Spell struck, the air in the area froze amidst the thick smoke and dust.

"Team leader..."

Han Xu stared blankly at the scene, somewhat incredulous.

In Han Xu's memory, Bai Xiaowen was invincible among Intermediate Awakened. Even when facing advanced or top-level Awakened Ones, Bai Xiaowen was in no way inferior! But now... Bai Xiaowen is just dead like that?

It's unbelievable, but it's true...

Not only those present at the scene, but also the audience in the stadium, were stunned by the power of this scroll.

Who could escape such near-destructive power?

"Jinghai University... is finished."

"Yanda University won the first match."

"That's right, Jinghai University's team is centered around Bai Xiaowen. Apart from Bai Xiaowen, the other four players are at a disadvantage compared to their counterparts at Yanda University! It's not an exaggeration to say that one god is carrying four noobs. With the strong player on the team, the weaker players are powerless to resist."

Leaving aside the on-site discussions, the internet was also in an uproar.

Fans supporting Bai Xiaowen expressed various expressions of shock and regret, while fans supporting Ouyang Heng and Bai Xiaowen's haters angrily typed "666".

The debate over whether magic scrolls should be included in the match raged on, with fans and haters alike arguing loudly. The rate at which the live chat was refreshing was so fast it nearly crashed the server, with far more than ten, hundreds, or even thousands of comments per second...

One second, two seconds... On the big screen, the smoke and dust slowly dissipated.

"Huh? Huh? Wait a minute! The Butcher is still here..." In the stadium, someone raised their hand and said weakly.

It wasn't just this one person; as others recovered from the shock of the Meteor Spell, they discovered this truly bizarre scene...

On the battlefield.

"Boss! No, the Butcher is still alive, Bai Xiaowen isn't dead!" Wu Chaojie, who was entangled with the Butcher, shouted loudly.

When a summoner dies, their summoned creatures will immediately disappear; this is common knowledge.

"What? Impossible!" Ouyang Heng's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He stared intently at the landing point of the Meteor Spell. In the billowing dust, a Fiend God- like figure seemed to appear, walking towards him step by step!

The smoke and dust cleared.

Bai Xiaowen's cloak fluttered, his body seemed to have become much stronger, and his eyes surged with Blazing Heat fighting spirit.

Five seconds later, at the moment the Meteor Spell landed, Bai Xiaowen's mind was exceptionally clear, and he made several countermeasures.

First, summon the Rageclaw from twenty meters away, sharing a Life Sharing connection—the reason for not summoning all the powerful creatures at the beginning is simple: to prevent Qiao Rui's group weakness ability.

The Life Sharing of the Rageclaw was not enough for Bai Xiaowen to survive the Meteor Spell. Bai Xiaowen took the second step, which was also the most crucial one:

Drink the Aberration Potion!

At this moment, the Soul Melody effect on Bai Xiaowen had stacked to 3 layers, reducing all attributes by 15%. He used the Aberration Potion to adjust his attributes, and the range became 21-54 points.

Without hesitation, Bai Xiaowen raised his Constitution to the maximum of 54, Agility and Spirit to 21, and put all the remaining attributes into Strength: 33 points.

This gives Bai Xiaowen a maximum of 540 Life Value points! More importantly, his dual resistances are both increased to around 60 points, giving him a 46% damage reduction against Zheng Bing's Meteor Spell! In addition, the +6 Warlock's Robe reduces damage by 18%, so only about 450 of the 1000 points of mixed damage actually take effect.

Thirdly, and finally, to be on the safe side, Bai Xiaowen also used the shield provided by the necklace [The Arbiter's Resolve]. With his current 54 points of Constitution, the shield could absorb 162 points of damage!

Of the final 450 points of damage, 162 points were absorbed, and then the damage was shared between Bai Xiaowen and Rageclaw... which was far from enough, considering that the combined health of the two, the human and the wolf, was already 830 points.

What's even more absurd is that Bai Xiaowen's physique at this time was comparable to a tank, and he easily passed the subsequent physical fitness test of the Meteor Spell, without being affected by his disabled state at all.

After the damage was distributed, Bai Xiaowen still had over 300 Life Value remaining, while Rageclaw had around 200 points left. He also had Blood Frenzy activated, granting him nearly 40% extra critical Critical Hit chance...

Even more terrifying was Bai Xiaowen. Under the passive effect of the Ring of Torment, Bai Xiaowen, who had taken 450 points of damage, suddenly gained 45 points of strength! At this moment, his strength was close to 80 points, which was truly terrifying!

Unfortunately, Ouyang Heng was unaware of this.

The moment Bai Xiaowen emerged from the smoke and dust, her first words caused Ouyang Heng's blood to rush to his face.

"You've pushed me to this point; you should be proud of yourself."

Bai Xiaowen spoke calmly, as if stating an objective fact.

"Fart!"

Ouyang Heng roared, charging forward like a raging bull, brandishing his greatsword!
