Chapter 115

After the introductions, the two of them started working at the same time.

Jiang Shiyi took the lead in hoisting the rocket launcher and fired several Energy-Concentrating Cannon in succession. The Energy-Concentrating Cannon, flashing with scarlet light, rushed towards the opposite side at high speed.

Jing Lei raised one hand, and a faint light flashed from his palm. A row of diamond-shaped cards immediately appeared around him, spinning rapidly until they became afterimages.

--Card Special Skill: By summoning cards, specific skill effects can be unleashed.

Half a second later, a red card appeared in front of Jing Lei's palm.

--Explosion Card Command: When used, it can quickly launch five Explosion Card Command at nearby enemies, causing explosive damage with fire attribute.

The red card quickly split into five miniature cards, precisely locking onto the Energy-Concentrating Cannon fired by Jiang Shiyi.

"Bang, bang--"

Several explosions rang out in succession, and thick smoke immediately spread across the arena.

The force of the explosion knocked Jiang Shiyi back to the edge of the ring.

She immediately mobilized her mental energy and forcibly stopped in her tracks. When she looked up, she saw that Jing Lei suddenly had a rocket launcher magic weapon that looked very similar to hers.

Jing Lei picked up the rocket launcher and fired several shots in quick succession.

Several attacks, each as powerful as Energy-Concentrating Cannon, were fired.

Jiang Shiyi's brows furrowed slowly.

This rocket launcher is somewhat similar to the ones she used before.

Half a second later, she came to her senses, raised the rocket launcher in her hand, and fired back at Jing Lei.

Another explosion rang out, and Jiang Shiyi took advantage of the opening to quickly turn around and circle back to the center of the arena.

"Whoosh--"

The familiar sound of hidden arrows being fired rang out.

Jiang Shiyi was startled again. She turned around and saw a homing arrow flying towards her.

"I give up, why are they doing this again?" Xue Zhongqi couldn't help but complain from the audience.

Song Tianqi frowned, his face full of displeasure. "Everyone's getting a set of these counterfeit magic weapons?"

Although there are no restrictions on using the same magical weapons, the Dark Horse Team's practice of directly copying the opponent's magical weapons is indeed unpopular.

All of the Mask Squad's magical weapons have been researched and specially modified, requiring a considerable amount of time and effort.

In less than a week, the Dark Horse Team completely copied it.

[Good grief, did the Dark Horse Team just copy all of the Mask Squad's special weapons?]

[You know, this tactic isn't entirely without merit; it's a viable strategy.]

The problem is that this approach is too cunning.

[This indirectly proves that the Dark Horse Team must have a lot of resources behind them. Especially this hidden weapon with a tracking effect; Tracking Inscription are hard to come by. To create such a hidden weapon within a week requires not only money but also connections.]

Hidden blade attacks with tracking effects are difficult to dodge; the only option is to attack them directly with explosive force.

Jiang Shiyi ran around the entire field, firing a Energy-Concentrating Cannon at intervals towards the tracking sleeve arrows behind him.

Jing Lei wasn't idle either. After releasing another row of hidden arrows, he stopped and summoned a blue card.

--Stasis Card Command: Upon hitting an enemy target, it will immediately freeze the target in place for 0.8 seconds.

Jing Lei pursed his lips and glanced down at Jiang Shiyi's position.

Seeing her running this way, he immediately threw out the Stasis Card Command in his hand.

The blue diamond-shaped card flew quickly toward Jiang Shiyi.

Jiang Shiyi noticed the strangeness of the card, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she quickly picked up the rocket launcher, aimed it at the card in front of her, and activated her special ability.

--A Hail of Bullets.

Shells surged in from all directions, hurled fiercely forward.

The blue card was blown apart by artillery fire before it could even touch Jiang Shiyi.

The intense battle on the stage caused the entire audience to instinctively hold their breath.

"The Ruthless Killer is a level above his opponent, so how come they're fighting so evenly?"

"Didn't you realize the Ruthless Killer was countered by the opponent? Jing Lei's two special weapons are very effective against the Ruthless Killer."

Not only were the audience tense, but Song Tianqi and his companions below the stage also looked very serious.

"That blue card just now, that should be the Stasis Card Command Teacher Zhuang mentioned," Xue Zhongqi.

"Hmm." Xu Jintang nodded, "This thing is the most disgusting."

In such a fierce battle, even a moment of stillness can allow the enemy to immediately exploit your weakness.

If Jiang Shiyi is hit, the match can be declared over immediately.

Undeterred by his missed attack, Jing Lei quickly received an Explosion Card Command and launched another attack on Jiang Shiyi.

Subsequently, attacks from rocket launchers and homing darts followed.

The situation of being attacked from three sides forced Jiang Shiyi to stop on the spot.

A hint of seriousness flashed in her usually composed eyes.

Seeing that Jiang Shiyi was preoccupied with her own problems, Jing Lei slightly raised the corners of his lips, waved his hand again, and released the Stasis Card Command.

The blue card was sandwiched between the three attacks, making it very difficult to detect.

[Oh no! The Ruthless Killer is going to lose, isn't he?]

[Impossible. This is Ruthless Killer, a woman who has never lost a battle since she entered the arena!]

[The Dark Horse Team is invincible! The Dark Horse Team will win!]

In just two seconds, three attacks had already surrounded Jiang Shiyi.

Jiang Shiyi's gaze turned cold. He placed the rocket launcher in front of him, quickly gathered his mental energy in his hands, and poured it into the rocket launcher.

In an instant, a blinding red light flashed on the rocket launcher, and an extremely destructive aura rapidly brewed inside the barrel.

--Superpower Rocket Launcher Combination Skill.

The combo skill is a combination of the effects of three skills: Hail of Bullets, Energy-Concentrating Cannon, and Superconducting Rocket Launcher.

The destructive power of the explosion is multiplied.

Jiang Shiyi slowly raised her hand, her cold gaze pointing directly at the impending Explosion Card Command.

In an instant, a red light shot into the sky, and the energy that had been condensed inside the rocket launcher exploded, powerfully blasting outwards.

"What is this?" Jing Lei, who had been calm all along, looked up in astonishment at the terrifying power that had suddenly erupted opposite him.

The combo attack erupted too suddenly, and it was a skill that Jiang Shiyi had never used before. Jing Lei had no time to react, and the entire field was covered by a barrage of fire.

"Wow! What kind of amazing move is that?" the audience in the stands exclaimed in unison.

"They're already in the semifinals, Mask Squad still has someone holding back?"

"The Ruthless Killer is so cool! Ahhhhh!"

When the fans screamed excitedly, Li Xiang was also startled.

Generally speaking, such a powerful combination attack requires a long time to prepare.

So he didn't have time to react and interrupt.

When he came to his senses, Li Xiang quickly jumped off the floating sphere. He didn't have time to activate his superpowers again, so he could only quickly mobilize his mental energy to try to withstand the attack.

"Referee, help me!" Jing Lei shouted immediately, realizing the danger.

As Li Xiang landed in front of him, artillery fire from all directions also came from the opposite side.

The intense heat from the artillery fire seemed to pull one into the fierce battlefield. The smoke-filled artillery fire surged forward relentlessly.

Li Xiang frowned, pushed his hands to his sides, and a huge spiritual force erupted from his body, surging out in circles of semi-transparent ripples.

When the backstage staff saw this turn of events, they held their breath.

Since its inception, the Ability User Competition has never seen a situation where referees failed to provide timely assistance during a match.

A piercing, high-pitched sound rang out; it was a high-frequency sound that completely exceeded the limits of human hearing.

A towering cloud of smoke from the explosion filled the entire venue.

Xu Jintang, standing below the arena, was stunned for a moment before silently activating his Domain Detection effect.

Amidst the smoke and dust of the explosion, Li Xiang, his hair a mess from the blast, stood with his hands raised in front of him, his sleeves torn and tattered, a far cry from his earlier gentlemanly demeanor.

Jing Lei, who was behind him, was mostly unharmed, but he was terrified, his mouth agape, unable to utter a sound for a long time.

Seeing this, Xu Jintang confidently withdrew his powers and said, "We won this match."

Chapter 115

A few seconds later, the thick smoke that had enveloped the ring dissipated, and the audience was able to see what was happening on the field.

The Superpower Rocket Launcher stood in front of Jiang Shiyi, her hand resting on top of it. A gust of wind blew in her face, slightly lifting the long hair on her shoulders.

Li Xiang slowly breathed a sigh of relief, forced a smile, and tried his best to appear gentlemanly. "In this 1v1 duel, the Mask Squad wins."

Because he was in such a sorry state, the audience couldn't help but stare at him.

This is probably the first time Li Xiang has shown such a disheveled side since the start of the competition.

"That's terrifying! They actually beat a Peak Seventh Tier referee like that. Mask Squad members all this freakish?"

"It's mainly because the referee didn't have time to react, otherwise it wouldn't have turned out like this."

"Regardless, the Mask Squad won this round."

Yu Wanyao and the others in the audience exchanged surprised glances.

"Sister Shiyi has such a powerful move?" Wei Zixuan asked in surprise.

Yan Zitao's gaze turned serious. "My sister has really kept a lot from me. Could she have some hidden cards up her sleeve too?"

Yu Wanyao pursed her lips and said seriously, "Xu Jintang didn't go either. I reckon she's the one who's hiding the deepest."

Qin Shuxue chuckled twice, "That's definitely it."

On the opposite side of the stands, the members of the Mechanical Technology Military Academy team also looked relieved.

"Serves them right. They're always plagiarizing; they deserve to be beaten like this."

Qiu Zhuyu's brows gradually relaxed, and the pent-up frustration she had been feeling for the past few days finally dissipated at this moment.

"Keep watching."

Although the Mask Squad currently has the upper hand, the most troublesome Ji Nanqing has not yet appeared, and everything is still uncertain.

Inside the team's rest area.
