Gu Ning and Gu Yu spotted the two of them as well and stopped.
"They're from Xinghai University, and that little fatty's here too." Gu Yu recognized Zhao Qiu at a glance.
During the second round of the assessment, Zhou Fan had fought Gu Ning, and Zhao Qiu had been there too.
"That girl's called Lin Qianqian. She ranked second in the first two rounds and is worth thirty points."
"Brother, if we eliminate those two, we'll be in first place," Gu Yu said.
The logic was simple.
Their point totals were actually fairly close right now.
Everyone else was worth just one point each. Eliminating a dozen or twenty people was only equivalent to eliminating a single top-ten contestant.
Besides, the top-ten contestants were bound to run into one another by the end of this hunting match.
There could only be one champion in the end, so everyone else could only become stepping stones for the winner.
But as long as they accumulated enough points, they still had a chance to become champion even if they weren't the last one standing!
And to become champion, they had to go after the top-ten contestants. Otherwise, they couldn't earn that many points.
"Then let's start with them."
Gu Ning's gaze settled on Lin Qianqian and Zhao Qiu.
The atmosphere gradually grew tense.
Neither side said anything to the other, but they could still sense what their opponents were thinking.
Whoosh!
Both sides attacked almost simultaneously.
"Crimson Flame · Flame Fist!"
Gu Ning targeted Lin Qianqian, charging straight up to her with flames engulfing both fists and the momentum of a dragon.
His speed was indeed impressive.
But Lin Qianqian reacted even faster. Countless paper shards instantly gathered, forming a paper shield in front of her.
