The figure of Li Hao slowly gathered in the rest area of the South Academy. His face was pale, and the phantom pain of being penetrated by a sword edge still lingered in his chest. He lowered his head, pursed his lips tightly, and said nothing.
The noise in the stadium came like a tide, and most of the audience were still excited about the exciting and fierce duel just now.
The South Academy students behind Li Hao are also cheering him on.
"What a pity, Li Hao is just a little bit worse!"
"Qin Rui The last move of the backhand sword was so amazing, it was simply inhuman!"
"Although Li Hao is defeated, it's an honor to be able to fight to this level with Qin Rui, which is already very impressive!"
"South Academy is defeated, but Li Hao is not ashamed!"
The discussion was full of recognition and regret for Li Hao.
In the eyes of most people, this is just a contest between top geniuses with a slight difference. Li Hao is just a little unlucky and has a bad move, but the strength he has shown is enough to win respect.
However, in the East Academy rest area, Xu Wuyi frowned slightly.
"What's the matter, Lao Xu?" Shen Wei noticed something strange about him, came over and asked, "Li Hao played well, he almost made a comeback."
Xu Wuyi's eyes still fell on the empty ring, as if he was replaying the scene of lightning and fire just now. He slowly shook his head and whispered, "No. At the last moment, Li Hao's mind was confused."
"Confused?" Shen Wei was stunned, a little confused.
"Yeah." Xu Wuyi said slowly, "His knife was too slow, otherwise, he should have stabbed Qin Rui first with that move."
Shen Wei scratched his head. He didn't notice it at all. He just felt that both of them were ridiculously fast.
Xu Wuyi shook his head again and had no explanation. There was no evidence for this kind of thing, and it was impossible to find the person involved to verify it. It was just his feeling.
At the same time, in the North Academy rest area, Zhao Qingwei also had a trace of doubt in his cold eyes.
Her slender fingers tapped the scabbard unconsciously, and whispered in a voice that only she could hear, "Is your breath messed up?"
Like Xu Wuyi, her mental strength far exceeds that of her peers, and she is more sensitive to subtle fluctuations originating from the level of will.
Although Li Wu's momentary hesitation was short enough to be ignored, in the eyes of experts like them, it was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.
However, they have no way of knowing why this hesitation arises.
On the ring, Qin Rui stood with his sword in hand, breathing slightly.
He paid a high price for defeating Li Hao.
The multiple stab wounds on his body were causing burning pain. Blood and Qi had consumed a lot of energy and was mentally exhausted from the highly concentrated duel.
The referee looked at him, waiting for him to decide whether to continue to defend the ring.
Qin Rui didn't hesitate at all, raised his hand directly and said calmly, "West Academy Substitute."
Light flashed and his figure was teleported back to the rest area.
"Thank you for your hard work." Xu Zhi greeted him.
Tana also clapped his hands. "Well done, that kid is as slippery as a loach. Fortunately, you were the one to do it."
Qin Rui took the drink, but did not drink it. He just shook his head. "He was a little weird at the end."
As a person involved on the battlefield, he also vaguely felt the disharmony of Li Hao at that moment, but there was no room for thinking about it during the battle. At this moment, he just felt something strange and did not think deeply about it.
He looked at Xu Zhi and his tone returned to calmness. "I'll leave it to you later. Let's make a quick decision."
Xu Zhi smiled confidently, "Don't worry, I guarantee it will be clean and tidy."

South Academy Here, the atmosphere is even lower.
The defeat of Li Hao completely declared the end of their current round of competition.
The remaining two team members looked at each other and saw helplessness and a hint of relief in each other's eyes.
Facing the powerful West Academy, they had no chance of winning.
Soon, the light screen showed:
West Academy: Xu Zhi.
South Academy: Zhang Fan (South Academy second team member).
The battle is without any suspense.
Life Energy Level of Zhang Fan has just passed level 20. Whether it is Blood and Qi's quality, martial arts proficiency or combat experience, there is a clear gap with Xu Zhi who has already broken through and has a solid foundation.
Xu Zhi didn't even use too many fancy moves. He just relied on his superior basic marksmanship and calm and experienced footwork to completely suppress Zhang Fan within a dozen moves.
"Clang!"
With a crisp sound, the weapon in Zhang Fan's hand was skillfully lifted away by Xu Zhi.
The tip of the gun was immediately pointed in front of his Adam's apple.
"West Academy, Xu Zhi wins!"
It was clean and tidy and didn't even give the opponent much chance to struggle.
South Academy The last team member appeared, and the result was the same.
Xu Zhi's momentum is like a rainbow, and his marksmanship unfolds like an endless wave, completely submerging the opponent.
In less than three minutes, the last member of the South Academy was shot in the throat and turned into white light.
"West Academy, Xu Zhi wins!"
"In the third round, West Academy wins!"
The referee's final verdict sounded, bringing an end to the showdown between the West Academy and South Academy.
West Academy advanced easily with his undisputed strength.
The entire process does not even require Tana to take action again.
After three rounds of fighting, the atmosphere in the stadium temporarily relaxed a little.
On the huge total points light screen, the results and points of each hospital are updated in real time.
West Academy won both games, accumulated 6 points, and topped the list.
East Academy also won both games, accumulated 6 points, and tied for first place.
North Academy and South Academy lost both games and accumulated 0 points, placing them at the bottom.
Next, the North and South Houses will compete for third place.
The final champion will be between the East Academy and West Academy who also maintain unbeatable victory!
This is undoubtedly the most eye-catching focus of this Departmental Competition elite battle.
"As expected, East Academy and West Academy are competing for first place!"
"The ultimate showdown! Xu Wuyi versus Qin Rui, it's exciting just thinking about it!"
"East Academy has Xu Wuyi, one wears three, West Academy has Qin Rui and beats Li Hao strongly, Tana and Xu Zhi are not fuel-efficient lights, the outcome is unpredictable!"
"I am optimistic about the West Academy, its overall strength is stronger."
"Xu Wuyi is in great shape. He was so domineering just now? I am optimistic about the East Academy!"
Discussions and predictions were heard from every corner, and everyone's expectations were heightened.
East Academy resting area, Xu Wuyi, Shen Wei, Zhou Mingxuan are sitting together.
Just before the game was about to start, Xu Wuyi's communicator vibrated slightly and received a private message from Qin Rui.
"Xu Wuyi, how about a fair fight for the first time between you and me?"
The information content is concise and direct, with the consistent style of Qin Rui.
Shen Wei saw Xu Wuyi lowering his head to check the message, noticed that it was from Qin Rui, and came over and asked, "What did Qin Rui say?"
"He invited me to be the first to play." Xu Wuyi said calmly.
Shen Wei raised his eyebrows. "What do you think? Do you want us to have two people to wear him down first?"
Xu Wuyi thought for a while, then shook his head. "No need. This is a head-to-head confrontation, and the order strategy has little impact. Since he invites the fight, I will follow it up."
There is no restraint between him and Qin Rui and Tana, and they are destined to rely on hard power to speak their minds.
And it is difficult for the remaining Xu Zhi, Shen Wei and others to consume them.
So he quickly replied Qin Rui with one word, "Okay."
This is not only a response to Qin Rui's invitation to compete, but also a confidence in one's own strength.
In the face of absolute strength, any trickery pales in comparison. Only by defeating the strongest opponent head-on can an undisputed victory be achieved.
When the light screen finally displayed the list of the first match "East Academy: Xu Wuyi; West Academy: Qin Rui", the whole audience was completely excited!
"Ace vs. Ace! It's straight on!"
"It's so exciting! The beginning is the final!"
Amidst the deafening cheers and discussions, two figures appeared on the wide alloy arena at the same time.
