Chapter 68

Green-Membrane Archaeopteryx: "..."

One night passed.

The next morning, the sun slowly rose on the horizon.

Training grounds inside the Leikdasi Military Academy.

Several military academy leaders took turns walking onto the observation platform.

Leading the way was Principal Miao Mingzhi. Contrary to expectations, he did not exude any domineering aura of someone in a high position. On the contrary, his smile was very kind.

Zhuang Silin followed behind Miao Mingzhi and reported, "The experimental class and Yu Wanyao's team have arrived at the scene and are ready. Both teams are in high spirits this time, and the competition is expected to be very exciting."

Miao Mingzhi put his hands behind his back, his smile widening. "These kids in the experimental class have cost us a lot of money. Today we'll see how they perform."

Zhuang Silin smiled slightly, "I definitely won't let you down."

At this moment, in the waiting area.

Xu Jintang's five-person team Yu Wanyao's team finally met.

"Sister, long time no see," Wei Zixuan greeted with a forced laugh.

Xu Jintang glanced at him. "Yeah, it's only been a month since we last met, and he's already blocked me."

Wei Zixuan: "..."

He quickly explained, "But you blocked me too, so we're even. Please, Sister Jintang, show some mercy today, for the sake of our past relationship."

Yu Wanyao pushed Wei Zixuan aside, crossed her arms, and stood opposite Xu Jintang, looking directly at her. "Don't hold back, because we will do everything in our power to defeat you."

Xu Jintang smiled slightly and gestured for them to proceed. "We'll wait."

On the other side, Yan Yuting and Yan Zitao were also locked in a fierce battle.

The two siblings each adopted a cool and aloof posture.

"Little sister, no matter what happened before, I won't back down today. I hope you can understand," Yan Zitao said.

Yan Yuting snorted coldly, "Don't be too confident. Haven't you learned your lesson from before?"

Yan Zitao's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure. "This time is different; our team's strength has improved significantly."

Xue Zhongqi leaned over and said, "Brother, to be honest, our team's strength has improved a lot too."

The fact that Xu Jintang alone reached the Peak Third Tier and also evolved his superpower is terrifying.

Of course, he certainly wouldn't reveal such important information to his opponent before the match started.

The atmosphere between Song Tianqi and Jiang Shiyi next door was fairly harmonious.

Standing opposite them were Qin Shuxue and Mu Guang.

Since the four of them had little prior interaction, their threats weren't as harsh as the other two groups, and they greeted each other politely.

"Hello, hello, my name is Song Tianqi. I was in special training recently, so I couldn't participate in your challenge."

"Hello, my name is Mu Guang, Mu as in 'envy' and Guang as in 'radiance'."

Zhuang Silin walked in from outside, knocked on the door, and looked around at everyone. "Are you ready? The military academy leaders are all here, just waiting for your performance."

Chapter 68

The group, who had been chatting idly, immediately returned to their ranks, stood in two neat rows, and answered in unison, "Ready!"

A few minutes later, Xu Jintang and Yu Wanyao's teams stepped onto the stage.

Apart from the military academy leaders who participated in the experimental class training program, there were no other spectators around, and the environment was eerily quiet.

But the atmosphere in the ring was extremely tense.

Zhuang Silin personally acted as the referee, standing at the edge of the ring and making a gesture. "This friendly match ends when the time is up. Any fighter who loses their fighting ability or falls off the ring is considered eliminated."

"Now, the match begins!"

As soon as the voice fell, Xu Jintang rushed towards the other side.

Two chains of ice extended from behind her, intertwining and spinning in the air, attacking Yu Wanyao simultaneously.

This scene left all five members of Yu Wanyao's team stunned.

Wait a minute? These ice chains are Xu Jintang's superpower??

"Crimson Flames of the Nine Heavens!" In the blink of an eye, Song Tianqi's crimson fire attack had already arrived in front of him.

Wei Zixuan snapped out of his daze, leaping several times to nimbly dodge the attacks from the Crimson Fireballs. He then turned around, crouched on the ground, and made a summoning gesture with his hands.

A mysterious stone door appeared behind him, and then it opened, revealing a Twin-Winged Beast with a Third Tier aura of strength.

The Twin-Winged Beast has a pair of snow-white wings, its eyes are incredibly holy, as pure and clean as an angel's, and its body is as light and agile as a deer.

After flapping its wings, the Twin-Winged Beast flew into the sky, and a beam of healing white light descended from the sky, shining on the Yu Wanyao's team.

It is the innate, innate skill of the Twin-Winged Beast: Light of Healing.

Allies hit by this skill will receive a 10% boost to all their attributes for 30 seconds.

"Everyone, catch! Pineapple buns increase movement speed, attack, and mana regeneration. Taro Bun increase damage immunity." Yan Yuting, hiding in the back, quickly produced a bunch of toasts and tossed them to his teammates.

Then, she took out the Wind Shadow Whip, an offensive magic weapon she had previously acquired at the Myriad Treasures Pavilion auction, from her bracelet space.

During this period, she was busy every day. In addition to cultivating her mental strength, she would also make time to practice whip skills.

The battle between the two sides was dazzling.

The military academy leaders on the viewing platform smiled knowingly.

Miao Mingzhi picked up the teacup lid, skimmed off the tea foam, and looked at Xu Jintang. "This Xu Jintang should be the student whose superpower evolved, right?"

The grade teacher standing nearby immediately nodded, "Yes. According to Silin, this student's ability has now evolved into the Domain of Ice, and his ice attribute energy is even higher Yu Wanyao's."

Miao Mingzhi nodded. "It seems the result of this match is already in."

The teacher laughed and said, "It's only just begun, and the principal already knows who will win?"

Miao Mingzhi smiled without saying a word, and lowered his head to take a sip of tea.

The battle in the arena continues.

The ice chain wrapped Yu Wanyao's waist, tightened forcefully, and pulled her into the air.

Yu Wanyao's eyes turned cold as she raised her hands, powerful ice attributes gathering in her palms.

The next second, "click--"

The ice chain wrapped around his waist shattered instantly, turning into countless fragments that fell to the ground.

Freed from her restraints Yu Wanyao slowly landed on the ground.

She looked up, her hands braced on the ground, and the afterimage of the Black Armor Turtle appeared behind her. The ice attribute in her palm instantly spread outwards.

The ice layer hurtled towards Xu Jintang.

The battle of ice against ice is about to begin.

The military academy leaders on the viewing platform all turned their heads and looked up.

A beam of intense light emanated from Xu Jintang, followed by the formation of several ice blades that swirled rapidly in the air, gradually coalescing into a storm.

A biting, fierce wind raged across the arena.

Yu Wanyao was startled again, looking at Xu Jintang with incomprehension.

Although she sensed that Xu Jintang's ability had ice attributes during their last encounter, Xu Jintang wasn't this terrifying back then, was he?

How come her strength has suddenly increased so much in such a short time?

Just as I hesitated, the Ice Blade Storm had already reached me.

Yu Wanyao frowned and quickly got up and retreated.

At that moment, the Xiaoshan Cauldron, gleaming with golden light, blocked their path.

With a clang, Xiaoshan Cauldron only held out for a moment before being bounced away by the Ice Blade Storm.

Mu Guang, who was standing to the side, was also stunned.

In their last encounter, Xu Jintang could only manage a draw against him.

Now they're actually crushing Xiaoshan Cauldron?

Xu Jintang, who was controlling the Ice Blade Storm, slightly curled his lips and stuffed a slice of Toast Pineapple Bun into his mouth.

The toast's buff effect is triggered.

Xu Jintang lightly leaped into the air and rushed towards Mu Guang and the other person opposite her.

--Absolute Freeze.

The power of the domain enveloped the entire area, and then the freezing effect rapidly spread in all directions.

The air temperature dropped sharply.

Those around them looked on in surprise.

The area where Xu Jintang stood was completely covered by a thick layer of ice.

Half of the arena was transformed into a frozen world.

Just as the ice was about to freeze Yu Wanyao and Mu Guang, Zhuang Silin acted swiftly, saving them both and announcing, "Yu Wanyao and Mu Guang are out."

Xu Jintang landed slowly from the air.

She raised her hand and rotated her wrist, turning her gaze to Wei Zixuan on the other side, "Your turn."

Wei Zixuan sensed something was wrong and quickly summoned the Twin-Winged Beast in the air to come down.

"Twin-Winged Beast, Illusion Attack!"

The Twin-Winged Beast's physical damage is not high, but its mental attacks are rarely resisted by anyone of the same level.

An invisible mental shock entered Xu Jintang's forehead.

She frowned and instinctively closed her eyes.

At this moment, the Ice Soul Dragon was awakened by the shockwave from the mental impact. He slowly opened his dragon eyes, easily flicking the fly out of his mental sea as if shooing it away, and then explained:

"Once you're hit by this illusion attack, it will instantly pull you into an illusion, which is even more disgusting than some physical attacks. But with me here, your mental state is absolutely safe."

The mental shock was expelled from the sea of consciousness.

Xu Jintang quickly opened her eyes. In the half-second of mental confusion, Wei Zixuan rushed in front of her.

He held a magical dagger, its blade gleaming coldly, ready to strike.

"Squad leader!" Yan Yuting's voice rang out from behind.

Then, a long whip wrapped around Wei Zixuan's waist and quickly pulled him backward.

Xu Jintang snapped out of his daze at the same time.

Her eyes darkened, and she immediately launched a counterattack against Wei Zixuan.

Several ice chains were unleashed simultaneously, binding Wei Zixuan's hands and feet.

At only the Second Tier, he was powerless to break free.

Zhuang Silin intervened again, saving Wei Zixuan, and announced, "Wei Zixuan is out."

At the same time, Yan Zitao and Qin Shuxue were both blasted out of the ring by Jiang Shiyi's cannonball.

Xue Zhongqi, who had been waiting for an opportunity to strike, was taken aback. "No, it's over before I even made a move?"

"Luckily, I reacted quickly and managed to exchange a couple of blows with Brother Yan," Song Tianqi said, patting his chest in relief.
