Vs. Skywater Academy, Genius of the Control System!

Skywater Academy's seven members were all women, and all of them were quite pretty. Each wore blue attire.

The moment the seven of them stepped onto the stage, they stunned the entire venue. Every one of them exuded an elegant, beautiful presence!

Meanwhile, Qin Qi's side, with Xue Beng and the other seven, looked like a ragtag bunch, each doing their own thing and acting utterly unserious.

"You guys are embarrassing. Just standing with you makes me feel like my looks are being dragged down."

Qin Qi turned to look at his teammates, first glancing at the Stone Family brothers in confusion.

"Why have you two started wearing masks too? Did you catch a cold or something?"

Qin Qi asked doubtfully.

"Ahem, no. We just think it's better to wear masks."

Shi Mo coughed, recalling the time they had faced Blazing Fire Academy with Qin Qi.

When everyone announced their names, they all had things like dragons, snakes, fire, and so on. Then Qin Qi opened his mouth and said Little Green Worm.

No, now that the Strength-Eating Immortal Gu had evolved, it had become a little yellow worm.

To avoid embarrassing themselves, the Stone Family brothers had put on masks in advance. That way, no one would recognize them.

"You two are one thing, but Lingling, why are you standing so far back with your head lowered?"

"Hold your head high and stick out your chest. Your looks are seriously impressive—you're no worse than any of the girls over there."

Qin Qi looked toward Ye Lingling, who was hiding at the very back of the group. She had her head lowered and remained silent.

"Too many people."

Ye Lingling swept her gaze over the audience from the corner of her eye. There were too many people, and she was a little uncomfortable.

"Seriously, it's embarrassing being with you people."

Dugu Yan brushed back her hair. She felt that she was the only one in the entire team who could be presented in public.

In terms of figure, she had a standard wasp waist and an S-shaped body. In terms of looks, she was among the very best as well.

She felt that the only difference between herself and the girls opposite them was their teammates. Qin Qi and the others had terrible taste in clothes.

Especially Yu Tianheng. Was that even a school uniform he was wearing? It was way too embarrassing. If the other academies saw them, they might think they couldn't afford decent clothes.

"Sigh... are you done talking? If you are, then start fighting."

The referee looked at both sides and sighed. He hated presiding over matches involving Qin Qi's team.

Whenever it came to this, all he could think about was getting off work and going home.

"Done."

"We're ready too."

Skywater Academy, on the other hand, remained quite serious. They did not lower their guard in the slightest because of Qin Qi's group.

During the earlier one-on-one matches, Qin Qi had not taken the field, instead setting up betting pools below the stage. The ones who fought had been the Stone Family brothers.

Skywater Academy had mistaken them for defense-type soul masters with little offensive power. In the end, they had suffered a crushing loss and been defeated.

"The battle begins!"

The referee announced.

"First Soul Skill—Ice Seal!"

Shui Bing'er reacted immediately, unleashing a large-scale, instant-cast group control soul skill.

A layer of ice immediately spread across the ground, and Qin Qi's group was instantly frozen the moment they touched it.

"A group freezing skill as the first soul skill, and with such a huge range too? Sigh, that's ridiculously overpowered."

With a slight exertion of strength, Qin Qi shattered the ice covering his body. The ice had not harmed him in the slightest.

With the Indestructible Vajra Body's enhancement, all of his elemental resistances had been pushed to the maximum.

"Movement Killing Move—Explosive Step!"

Qin Qi condensed soul power beneath his feet, then detonated it instantly. Combined with his own explosive strength and the propulsion of soul power—

—it created a movement technique that was nearly teleportation. In an instant, he appeared less than half a meter away from the Skywater Academy students!

"Break!"

Qin Qi stomped the newly repaired arena apart with one foot, then swept his leg out, kicking all the shattered stones toward the Skywater Academy students.

"Ice Seal Armor!"

Shui Bing'er moved again, using another instant-cast, group-enhancing defensive skill.

Every teammate gained a layer of Ice Seal Armor. They immediately rushed forward and used their respective methods to block the incoming stones.

"My principle is not to hit women, but unfortunately, I can't tell men and women apart!"

While the other side was defending, Qin Qi had already seized the chance to charge in, soul power gathering around both fists.

As long as he got close, it did not matter what kind of defensive soul skill it was—he would pummel it all to pieces!

"Ah, it's over. They failed to restrain that kid at the start, and now he's gotten in close again."

"Skywater Academy is doomed."

Seeing this, Godwind Academy's headmaster shook his head. Skywater Academy's team had no defense-type Soul Masters this time.

They were all control-types, agility-attack types, and power-attack types. Their offense was strong, but their defense was lacking.

With Qin Qi's explosive power, he could take all of them down within thirty seconds.

"Sister Xue, don't be upset. A loss is a loss—we won't laugh at you."

Blazing Fire Academy's headmaster spoke as well.

"Hmph, my students aren't that fragile."

Skywater Academy's dean snorted coldly. She did not think they would lose. They still had a trump card.

When Qin Qi's first punch landed on a Skywater Academy member, the armor on that student's body shattered outright.

At the same time, the student was sent flying backward at high speed.

"Hm, that didn't feel right."

Qin Qi frowned. He had beaten up so many people lately that he had developed a feel for it.

That attack had seemed to hit, but the impact had felt somewhat hollow.

The next second, Qin Qi spotted two trails of Ice Seal on the ground.

"Nice. They froze the ground beneath their feet and used the ice to slide, reducing the damage while quickly opening up distance from me."

"Not a bad tactic."

Qin Qi did not continue chasing. He looked at Shui Bing'er, who was standing where she was, sensing that she still had another move up her sleeve.

Ice Seal!

The moment her teammate retreated, Shui Bing'er used Ice Seal. The same large-scale, instant-cast skill froze Qin Qi once again.

"Damn, she can use that Soul Skill consecutively!"

"Two instant-cast, area-wide skills... This girl is truly a genius, the king of control-types!"

"No wonder you were so calm, old hag. So you had another trump card."

"But it's useless. That kid Qin Qi's defense is terrifyingly strong. Even the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon's attacks couldn't do much damage to him."

"Your Ice Seal is indeed impressive, but its power is far from enough."

The watching academy heads were thoroughly astonished. Instant-cast skills were rare, instant-cast area-wide skills were even rarer, and consecutive instant-cast area-wide skills were rarer still.

Myriad Thunderbolts!

At that moment, Yu Tianheng, whom everyone had overlooked, charged out from behind Skywater Academy, vast amounts of lightning surging around him.

In an instant, it covered the entire battlefield, plunging all seven Skywater Academy students into momentary paralysis!

"Old Yu, nicely done!"

Moving Kill Move: Consecutive Explosive Step!

Qin Qi instantly broke free from Ice Seal's restraints, using all the ice on his body as weapons and hurling it at Skywater Academy's students.

At the same time, he moved again, appearing before Shui Bing'er in an instant. His fist swung out, carrying immense power as it struck toward her!

At that moment, Shui Bing'er understood why Yu Tianxin, Feng Xiaotian, and the others had been so helpless against Qin Qi.

It was clearly just a single punch, yet she felt as though the sky itself were collapsing. That overbearing strength and presence filled her with instinctive fear.

But she still had a trump card. The purple third Soul Ring behind her emerged.
