"Dean Shi, I challenge classmate Zhou Mingxuan."
"I challenge classmate Shen Wei."
Shi Jing nodded slightly. "Okay, let's get on the ring."
Several people entered the Battle Net arena together.
The first game, challenger versus Zhou Mingxuan.
Zhou Mingxuan uses a pair of short halberds with calm and sophisticated moves, while Blood and Qi is solid.
His opponent was good at using long sticks and danced with great force.
The two were of similar skill level, and they fought for more than ten rounds, and the situation was tense for a time.
But in the end, Zhou Mingxuan caught the opponent's slight flaw, cleverly locked the long stick with the short halberd, and beat the opponent with a close blow, winning the victory.
"Concession." Zhou Mingxuan put away his halberd and clasped his fists.
The challenger sighed, shook his head and admitted defeat.
In the second game, it's Shen Wei's turn.
The student who challenged him was Life Energy Level level 20.2, which was slightly higher than Shen Wei by 0.1 level, and he had a swift swordsmanship.
"Old Shen, be careful." Xu Wuyi reminded.
Shen Wei grinned and patted the thick-backed sword on his back. "Don't worry, look at me!"
As soon as the battle began, the challenger tried to suppress Shen Wei with speed, and the sword light struck like raindrops.
Shen Wei did not dodge or dodge, and with a low drink, Blood and Qi exploded all over his body, and he actually directly displayed the C-level defensive martial arts he had been hiding - <Iron Wall Art>!
Xu Wuyi couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he saw this. He hadn't sparred with Shen Wei for a long time, and he didn't expect that he would also learn this horizontal martial arts.
He is no stranger to <Iron Wall Art>. When Honghe City held Three-School Joint Examination, there was a student named Zhao Ding who also practiced this martial art.
It's just that at that time Zhao Ding took <Iron Wall Art> as his major, and he could already be called a genius.
But in the hands of a top genius like Shen Wei, <Iron Wall Art> can only be used as a supplementary skill to help him develop his sword skills.
A layer of light gray luster instantly covered his whole body, especially the right arm and chest holding the knife.
"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!"
The tip of the sword pierced the gray light, making a sound of gold and iron clashing, making it difficult to advance even an inch!
"Haha, it's my turn!"
Shen Wei laughed loudly, taking advantage of the moment when the opponent's sword was stagnant, and slashed out with a brutal force with the thick-backed sword!
The sword wind roars and the force sinks with great force!
The challenger's expression changed slightly and he hurriedly blocked with his sword.
"Clang!"
There was a loud noise, and the challenger felt a huge force coming from him. His arms went numb, and he almost lost his grip with the long sword, and his whole body was slashed back again and again.
Shen Wei gained the upper hand and was unyielding. He strode forward, raised his sword again, and gave another simple and rough blow!
His approach is very aggressive, and combined with <Iron Wall Art>'s defense, his style of play can be described as brutal.
The challenger reluctantly took the second sword, but Blood and Qi was shaken to the point of thrashing. The hand holding the sword was cracked and bleeding.
Shen Wei The third sword was about to fall again, and the majestic momentum had completely suppressed him. In the end, he was cut into white light without even a grunt.
Shen Wei then sheathed the knife, the gray light on his body slowly converged, and he raised his eyebrows at Xu Wuyi proudly.
Xu Wuyi nodded slightly.
Shen Wei was originally a reckless player who relied on superior lethality to win. Now that he also studies a defensive martial arts, he is indeed more powerful and can better utilize his own advantages.
However, his <Iron Wall Art> was obviously practiced recently, which is actually not consistent with common sense.
Because practicing martial arts is often time-consuming and labor-intensive, it can rarely be achieved quickly unless there are special and precious resources to assist.
Both challenges ended in failure.
Shi Jing was not surprised by this result. He stood up and glanced at Xu Wuyi, Shen Wei and Zhou Mingxuan.
"Since no one has successfully challenged, then the three of you will represent East Academy in this year's Departmental Competition."
"Three days later, at nine o'clock in the morning, Battle Net No. 1 Main Arena Zone will gather. At that time, the four courtyards will fight. I hope you can win honor for the East Academy."
"Yes, Dean Shi!" the three of them responded in unison.
The list of the East Academy representatives will be officially announced soon.
There is no doubt that Xu Wuyi was selected. Shen Wei and Zhou Mingxuan were confirmed through the challenge and no one doubted it.
At the same time, the lists of representatives of other houses were also released one after another.
The list of the West Academy is the most dazzling and can be called luxurious: Qin Rui (level 20.7), Xu Zhi (level 20.5), and a female Martial Artist, Tana (level 20.6) from the Western Desert family.
The Life Energy Level of these three people has impressively exceeded level 20.3, especially Qin Rui and Li Hao. Their progress is astonishing.
The representatives of the North Academy are: Zhao Qingwei (level 20.6), Luo Liang (level 20.4) and a Life Energy Level who reached level 20.2, Martial Artist.
The overall strength of the South Academy is slightly lower. Both representatives have just broken through level 20, but Li Hao is level 20.7, which is the same as Qin Rui. As soon as the list came out, it immediately aroused heated discussion on campus.
"This lineup is too strong! Xu Wuyi, Qin Rui and Li Hao, each one is stronger than the other!"
"North Academy is not weak either. Zhao Qingwei's swordsmanship is said to be very powerful."
"East Academy----Xu Wuyi is definitely the main force of Number One, but Shen Wei and Zhou Mingxuan feel a bit hanging compared to the second and third numbers of the West Academy North Academy."
"South Academy The other two are probably here to run with you. It's up to Li Hao!"
"It seems that in this elite battle, West Academy has the greatest hope of winning."
Various analysis and prediction posts appear in an endless stream on intranet forums.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye.
January 5th, 8:50 am.
Star Martial Battle Net, No. 1 Main Arena Zone.
This huge venue, which can accommodate hundreds of thousands of virtual spectators, is already full of people and seats are packed.
Not only the freshmen, but also many seniors and even some teachers and mentors appeared in the spectator seats.
The flags of the Fourth Academy were buzzing in the sky above the venue, and the holographic projection reflected the alloy arena in the center of the venue to every detail.
The atmosphere was extremely lively.
East Academy In the rest area.
Xu Wuyi, Shen Wei, and Zhou Mingxuan have arrived.
Vice President Shi Jing also came to the scene and gave his final instructions. "Discuss the order of the battle by yourself. Remember, this is not only a contest of personal strength, but also a contest of team strategy and will. Go ahead and fight, East Academy's honor depends on you!"
"Yes!" the three of them responded solemnly.
On the huge Virtual Arena, an invisible energy barrier isolates the inside and outside.
The fourth hospital, Elite Combat Competition, officially kicked off.
In the first round, East Academy played against the South Academy.
The matchup list was announced through the light screen. On the East Academy's side, the first one to appear was Zhou Mingxuan.
"Lao Zhou, it's up to you!" Shen Wei patted Zhou Mingxuan's shoulder hard.
Zhou Mingxuan nodded heavily without saying anything, and his figure was teleported to the ring in the light.
His opponent was South Academy, a freshman who had just broken through Martial Artist. Life Energy Level was level 20.1 and wielded a long sword.
The battle began, Zhou Mingxuan fought steadily, a pair of short halberds danced tightly, Blood and Qi was steady and heavy.
His playing style is not amazing, but it is extremely solid and he plays step by step.
The freshman South Academy was obviously a little nervous. Faced with Zhou Mingxuan's calm momentum, after several unsuccessful attacks, he revealed his flaws.
Zhou Mingxuan seized the opportunity, twisted and swung his short halberd, skillfully deflected the opponent's long sword, and then made a swift dash forward, hitting the opponent's chest heavily with his shoulders and elbows.
"Bang!"
The South Academy freshman groaned and staggered back. Zhou Mingxuan's short halberd followed him like a shadow, piercing his throat and directly beating him into a white light.
"East Academy, Zhou Mingxuan wins!"
Battle Net referee's electronic sound sounded.
After winning the first battle, East Academy cheered warmly in the spectator seats.
Even Zhou Mingxuan was not injured, but he just spent a lot of energy.
