Overwhelming Domination! (2-in-1)

The moment the massive scepter swung down, Ouyang Heng felt as if the flow of time around him had slowed down considerably.

He could see the giant Corpse Monster standing behind him, its shadow as large as a mountain. As he turned his head, he even caught a glimpse of the scepter buzzing as it hurtled towards him, as well as the weapon thrown by his underling, Wu Chaojie.

Wu Chaojie's Weapon Throw the Butcher in the back of the head; it was the only effort he could make.

But this skill only made the Butcher grunt; his movements didn't stop at all. Ouyang Heng took a breath and opened his mouth.

Roar!

An invisible sonic wave spread with Intimidation force as Ouyang Heng unleashed the Ocean Roar skill. To be honest, using Ocean Roar now was somewhat wasteful; it was originally a divine skill that combined offense and defense, capable of removing control effects, but now that effect was wasted.

But Ouyang Heng had no choice; if he hesitated to use his skills, he would be killed.

Enemies within melee range are stunned! Other enemies within 10 meters are slowed!

However, the next second, Ouyang Heng was sent flying like a baseball, only feeling the sharp pain in his leg while he was in mid-air...

"What's going on? That Corpse Monster was clearly stunned! Why didn't its attack stop?"

Ouyang Heng rolled around a few times like a broken sack, then looked up at Fatty.

Fatty remained motionless in the perfect, extended position after a standard baseball swing, clearly stunned. However, his extended position showed that Ouyang Heng's knockout had not affected Fatty's ability to execute his attack.

A flash of light appeared on Bai Xiaowen's body as he used the Mature Green Lotus Seed to dispel the stun effect of the Ocean Roar. He then aimed his guns at Wu Chaojie beside him and fired a barrage of shots.

The Butcher just used the enhanced skill "Savage Strike" with his +7 staff. This skill requires a short charge-up, but it cannot be interrupted once the swing animation begins. In other words, interrupting it only works during the charge-up phase.

Once Fatty has finished charging up, you can only dodge or escape from Fatty's melee range.

This was a hidden detail that Bai Xiaowen discovered through experimentation. Ouyang Heng, unaware of this detail, suffered a significant loss as a result.

Ouyang Heng struggled to get up, but waves of excruciating pain shot through his legs. Looking down, he saw his left leg twisted into an unnatural position. A notification from the Spirit Realm Rules appeared:

"You have been hit by Savage Strike and failed your physical fitness test."

"The Butcher's passive ability: Shattering is activated."

"Your left leg is fractured, you are now in a disabled state, your movement speed is reduced by 70%, your agility is halved, and your evasion rate is greatly reduced..."

Seeing that Bai Xiaowen ignored him and attacked Wu Chaojie first, Ouyang Heng felt a surge of humiliation and anger. However, he had no more trump cards to turn the tide, and there was no need to use the group buff item scrolls he had prepared earlier.

Bai Xiaowen's decision to prioritize killing Wu Chaojie wasn't overconfident. Ouyang Heng was already crippled and posed no threat, so it was better to save him for last. This would slow down his respawn time, making him the last one to be eliminated, giving his team more time to accumulate resources.

Wu Chaojie, deceased.

Xie Yixin was chased and killed by Li Shuyi.

Ouyang Heng died.

Qiao Rui's Divine Might was exhausted, and she was unable to maintain her Soulwalk posture. She was also killed by Li Shuyi.

A thunderous roar of applause filled the stadium.

"My God! Two against five, and they actually wiped out Yanda University! How are those two so strong?!"

"Although the duo from Jinghai University gained an initial advantage through surprise, the difference in strength is obvious. Bai Xiaowen is simply too strong!"

"Bai Xiaowen used his key skill, Talisman Switching, on Li Shuyi, and several summoned creatures to freeze Qiao Rui. He only had 60% of his strength left to face Ouyang Heng and Wu Chaojie..."

"I've watched all of Bai Xiaowen's previous match videos. Until the semi-finals, he didn't make a move at all... I think I've figured it out; he's been hiding his strength all along. When he does make a move, it's earth-shattering!"

"Bai Xiaowen's strength has surpassed the Intermediate Awakened. Among Intermediate Awakened, he can no longer be described as 'strongest,' but rather... invincible! No matter how many people the opponent has in numbers, they are all nothing in front of Bai Xiaowen."

The numerous discussions and online comments overwhelmingly expressed amazement at Bai Xiaowen's skill. Some also shared their opinions on the match.

"At this point, the outcome of the match is no longer in doubt."

"This team wipe is a huge blow to Yanda University. Their total respawn time is a whopping 40 minutes! That's enough time for Jinghai University to secure the victory."

"Yes, Jinghai University's kill selection placed the two most threatening Hero Class last, completely eliminating any unstable factors."

"The three Elite Class that were resurrected earlier can probably only cause some disturbance to Jinghai University; they're not even a minor problem."

As it turns out, some viewers were overthinking it.

After wiping out Yanda University, Bai Xiaowen instructed Li Shuyi to capture the remaining resource buildings such as the Mill and research institute, thus dominating the entire map. He himself rowed to the entrance of the red team's Main Base.

After their teammates respawned, they, along with Li Shuyi, also came to block the entrance to the Red Team's Main Base.

As a result, after Zheng Bing, Xie Yixin, Wu Chaojie, and others were resurrected, they were simply unable to leave their Main Base, let alone cause any trouble for Jinghai University. They could only watch helplessly as Jinghai University's Resource Point continued to rise.

Ultimately, Yanda University unanimously chose to concede defeat—they had calculated that Jinghai University had accumulated nearly 300 Resource Point before Ouyang Heng revived. Even if Yanda University managed to turn the tide in the team battle, they wouldn't be able to capture all the resource buildings before Jinghai University reached 300 resource points.

When the bell rang and close-ups of the five victorious players from Jinghai University appeared, applause erupted once again throughout the stadium.

This victory means there was no third game. Jinghai University defeated Yanda University cleanly and decisively 2-0 to win the CUAA League championship!

With this, the CUAA National Championship, which lasted for two months, has basically come to an end. Tomorrow there will be another match between Tsinghua University and Yunnan University for the third place, but neither its excitement nor its popularity will be as great as today's championship battle.

"Yay! We're the champions!"

At Jinghai University, in the players' rest area, Yan Xiaoxin, Chen Guowei, Yan Jun, Ding Cheng, and a group of others stood up, cheering and celebrating, loudly praising the main players, especially the perfect performance of their leader, Bai Xiaowen.

As the music began, the main members of the two teams, fresh from their fierce battle, reappeared in the arena. However, five of them walked dejectedly towards the rest area, while the other five, under the spotlight, strode confidently to the center of the arena!

Xia Ke smiled and said, "Bai Xiaowen, congratulations on your team's crucial victory and winning the CUAA championship this year. How are you feeling right now? Could you share your thoughts with everyone?"

This wasn't the first time Bai Xiaowen had experienced being the center of attention. However, he thoroughly enjoyed it.

As for his thoughts, Bai Xiaowen was rather modest.

The pre-match boast of "being crowned king" was mainly to boost the confidence of his teammates, and also to cooperate with the organizers to create a hype for the finals. Now that he has won the championship with a sweeping victory, there is no need for self-praise to demonstrate his strength.

Winning a match and making boastful remarks beforehand can be interpreted as confidence. However, making similar boasts after the match would seem arrogant to the audience, and Bai Xiaowen would not do something that could lead to a loss of fans.

Xia Ke asked the five main players one by one, and they all gave the same answer, behaving modestly and humbly.

Finally, Xia Ke congratulated Bai Xiaowen and the other four, and then it was time for the media reporters to conduct interviews.

Bai Xiaowen received a notification regarding the Spirit Realm Rules:

"Your team won the CUAA league championship (with an undefeated record)."

"You have achieved a special accomplishment: CUAA League Champion."

"Based on your league performance, you have earned a special title: Overwhelming Domination."

[Overwhelming Domination: Designates one Battle Specialty or skill, granting it a passive buff: Proficiency growth rate increased by 50%. Battle Specialty and skills exceeding your class level will not benefit from the Overwhelming Domination title bonus. Cooldown: 7 calendar days.]

Bai Xiaowen was overjoyed. This was a very useful title, not for combat, but for leveling up, and it didn't conflict with his existing title of "Ultimate Academic Ace".

When practicing proficiency, I wear the "Overwhelming Domination" title; when exploring the Spirit Realm, I use the "Ultimate Academic Ace" title—the division of labor is very clear.

A 50% increase in proficiency growth rate will save Bai Xiaowen a significant amount of time, allowing him to focus on developing his Battle Specialty and skills, and enhancing his soft power. With such a title reward, the time and effort spent participating in this CUAA league can be made up for later, not to mention the added benefits of World Fame and school awards.

Of course, the rewards given to the champion by the Spirit Realm Rules are not limited to this.

"Based on your league performance, you have earned a chance to participate in the Golden Roulette draw. Would you like to draw?"

After checking, Bai Xiaowen clicked cancel. "Golden Roulette" —it sounds amazing! She'll study it more carefully when she has time.

"You have received an attribute point bonus. Your main attribute (Spirit) has increased by 5 points."

Compared to the rewards mentioned above, the attribute points reward, while not particularly high, is still quite valuable, equivalent to Bai Xiaowen's spirit growth after leveling up once! Especially since spirit cannot be increased through Enhancement Potion, it is even more precious.

While dealing with the reporter, Bai Xiaowen asked in a low voice through the Team Channel that Li Shuyi had also received a reward from the Spirit Realm Rules.

The special achievement is also CUAA champion, but the special title is Warrior's Star. It also increases the growth rate of Battle Specialty and skill proficiency, but the increase is only 25%, which is half as low as the Overwhelming Domination. It is also limited to melee physical specialties/skills and does not qualify for the roulette lottery.

In terms of attribute points, he is the same as Bai Xiaowen, receiving a bonus of 5 points in agility.

Li Shuyi was quite pleased with her reward, but after hearing about Bai Xiaowen's reward, she pouted. There's a saying, "Comparison is the thief of joy!"

Li Shuyi, who performed well in the team, received a significantly smaller reward than Bai Xiaowen, which gives you an idea of how much the others received. Bai Xiaowen didn't bother asking about the others' rewards; it would be quite awkward if she asked Feng Zi'ang...

Seeing Feng Zi'ang's excited and radiant face, Bai Xiaowen didn't want to dampen his spirits.

In fact, Feng Zi'ang won the championship by relying on the support of other players, making him the luckiest player, much luckier than substitutes like Chen Guowei.

In addition, Feng Zi'ang was also very self-aware. Based on the strength Bai Xiaowen displayed in the final battle, Feng Zi'ang clearly understood that even if he were replaced as the support player by Chen Guowei, or even if he were not the support player at all, Bai Xiaowen would still be capable of leading the team to victory.

Obtaining attribute rewards, achievements, and titles were all unexpected gains. Originally, Feng Zi'ang would have been content with just riding on the wave of popularity and gaining some fame.

The reporters' interviews were brief, mainly focusing on securing an exclusive interview with Bai Xiaowen. If that wasn't possible, they would consider interviewing other members with consistently excellent performances, such as Li Shuyi, Xiang Hui, and Han Xu. If all else failed, Feng Zi'ang was also an option...

Only reporters from small media outlets who can't get any exclusive interviews will swarm to ask as many questions as possible.

Seeing Bai Xiaowen looking radiant under the spotlight, some people thought about his age and grade.

"Jinghai University has truly unearthed a treasure."

"He's only a freshman this year, but he already has the ability to dominate the CUAA arena. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the next three years will be his domain in CUAA, and Jinghai University's dynasty is already taking shape."

The phrase "avoiding accidents" refers to avoiding accidental death. After all, awakened individuals venture into the Spirit Realm and Wilderness Zone, where fortune and danger are intertwined, and sometimes encountering peril is unavoidable. Every year, many awakened individuals die tragically, with a particularly high proportion of young awakened individuals.

"Back then, Jinghai University offered so many generous conditions to attract Bai Xiaowen to enroll... Now it seems those conditions were all worth it. I really regret not listening to you sooner." In the inner area near the Yanda University athletes' rest area, a beautiful woman with glasses and a refined air sighed.

Behind the bespectacled beauty, Qiao Rui said softly, "Sister, the school's resources for you were limited, so you don't need to blame yourself too much. At the time, the school didn't have any specific combat intelligence on Xiao Wen, which gave Jinghai University an advantage. There was nothing we could do about it."

This elegant woman with glasses is Qiao Wei, the teacher at Yenching University who was in charge of admissions at the time. She was also the coach leading the Yenching University team, and her role was similar to Yan Xiaoxin's.

However, she, as the team leader, didn't have any real power. The person in charge of managing the Peking University team was someone else. In comparison, Qiao Wei was more like a team leader...

"Why did our Yanda University lose? I don't think it was due to a lack of ability!" Wu Chaojie, a member of the "square warrior" group, shouted into the microphone handed to him by a reporter. "If we unite as one, we will definitely win!"

"Wu, are you saying there's a problem within the Yenching University sports team?" The reporter's eyes lit up.
