"Don't say that, Senior Ban. You haven't even fought yet. Why lose heart already?"
"Hey, I'm just being honest. It doesn't matter if us second-years lose. You and Senior Duan are Southern Glory's twin spearheads anyway. I'm just an extra."
"Senior Ban..."
Ban Dingyuan laughed. "Qin, the greater your fame, the greater your responsibility!"
The third-year battle ended with Duan Chongfang defeating four opponents single-handedly in an unstoppable display. His stunning comeback gave Southern Glory the early advantage.
After a brief break, the second-year match began.
Park Hee-eun, ranked fifth among the second-years, and Chen Chengdong, ranked third, had suffered severe injuries in the previous semifinal and had yet to recover fully, so neither could compete.
The second-year substitute, Miao Lujun, went first, but Wang Xunian defeated him before he lasted very long in the arena.
The Southern Glory members felt utterly helpless.
The gap between the second-years was painfully obvious. After all, when both sides were at sequence level five, the boosts provided by God-Hunting Artifacts were often the key to victory.
Southern Glory's students were strong, but the entire university practically reeked of [poverty]-among the second-years, no one except Shi Tao and Ban Dingyuan owned a Tier-Four God-Hunting Artifact. They did not even have Tier Four Armor.
With one set of Tier Four Armor and two Tier Four Artifacts, Western Glory's second-year Wang Xunian defeated three opponents in succession and advanced straight to Shi Tao.
At this point, even Shi Tao had to admit that Ban Dingyuan had been right. Forget defeating Western Glory-he did not even know whether they would get as far as facing Huan Ruoyu.
I'll just do my best.
Compared with the Southern Glory students who had already lost, Shi Tao at least had a set of Tier Four Armor and a tier-four weapon.
