Both the Light and Brightness Team and the Purple Rosy Clouds Pond Flower Team were stunned.
After a few seconds of silence, someone broke the silence first. "Wow, the younger generation is surpassing the older; if we don't work harder, we'll be swept away on the beach."
The captains of the two teams exchanged a tearful yet amused glance.
Even with that Ruthless Killer's move, neither of them might have been able to block it.
Young people these days are getting more and more twisted.
The ten-minute halftime break begins.
Because Jiang Shiyi had to continue defending her title, she was unable to leave the stage to discuss tactics with her teammates or receive medical assistance from the on-site medics.
He could only recover his mental strength on the arena by himself.
Offstage, Yan Yuting leaned over and whispered, "Class monitor, will Sister Shiyi?"
Xu Jintang pursed her lips, pondered for a few seconds, and then replied, "The combination attack just now greatly depleted her mental energy, but her own mental energy level is also high, so she can probably hold on for a while."
Yan Yuting continued, " The Dark Horse Team only has Ji Nanqing and that Jiang Yun left, and neither of them are easy to deal with."
"Let's take a look first." Xu Jintang looked up at the stage.
This is backstage at the competition.
Completely disheveled, Li Xiang hurriedly tidied his hair and clothes.
Other staff members couldn't help but tease him, "You're really something, your head looks like a bird's nest from all the explosions."
Li Xiang's lips twitched. "Do you think I wanted this? It was an emergency; protecting the athletes was the priority."
"Stop," his colleague waved his hand. "Hurry up and get ready, the match is about to start."
As the intermission was about to end, Li Xiang reappeared in the ring.
Having just been badly injured by the bomb, he regained his gentlemanly manners and politeness.
He wore an elegant white suit, and his messy hair was neatly styled and looked handsome.
"Hello everyone, I'm Li Xiang, the host for this match. We have one minute left before our halftime break ends. Now, I'll introduce the players from both teams who haven't yet entered the game."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xiang raised his hand and pointed to the floating light screen behind him.
The screen immediately displayed a photo and information about Jiang Yun from the Dark Horse Team.
" Jiang Yun of the Dark Horse Team, with a mental strength level of Third Tier, possesses the ability of Metal Manipulation Technique, allowing him to control metallic substances in combat. In previous matches, Jiang Yun has appeared seven times, winning five, achieving a win rate of 78%."
"For someone who is only sixteen years old, this is already a very good result."
[Kids these days are getting more and more weird.]
[The average age of the five members of the Dark Horse Team is no more than sixteen. Which military academy did these two teams come from, these absolute geniuses?]
Having seen many geniuses, Li Xiang was no longer surprised and continued with the introduction.
"Next up is also from the Dark Horse Team. She is the team captain, Ji Nanqing, with a mental strength level of Fourth Tier. Her special ability is the Frost Demon Bear, which allows her to summon Frost Demon Bear monster of the same mental strength level as her to fight. Moreover, this monster also grants her a certain degree of ice control ability."
"Of course, her record is also exceptionally outstanding. In the previous rounds of the competition, Ji Nanqing played a total of seven matches and won all seven, achieving a winning percentage of 100%. This is an astonishing statistic."
Xu Jintang, standing below the arena, looked up at Ji Nanqing's information on the screen, remaining relatively calm.
Teacher Zhuang had already shared this data with them before.
So it's not surprising.
Yan Yuting and Xue Zhongqi stood with their arms crossed in front of them, looking completely at ease.
Soon, Li Xiang began to introduce the win rate data of the Mask Squad.
"That's right. Although Jade Fox is only at the Peak Second Tier, with her unwavering belief and powerful magic weapon Wind Shadow Whip, she won all five of her appearances. In one 1v1 duel, she defeated her opponent despite being at the Peak Second Tier, winning cheers from the audience and shining brightly in the competition."
At this point, the backstage staff spun a spotlight on Yan Yuting.
The audience's attention immediately turned to it.
Yan Yuting was already used to being the center of attention, and calmly raised his arm to wave to the surrounding stands.
" Jade Fox, charge!!"
" The Mask Squad will win!"
The familiar cheers of the fans rang out once again.
Li Xiang smiled and continued introducing the next contestant, "Now, I'm going to introduce the last contestant. You should all have heard about her story."
"That's right, this contestant is from the Mask Squad, codenamed ' Foodie,' with a mental strength level at the Peak Third Tier, and his special ability is the Domain of Ice."
"She has a perfect record in all her matches so far, with a winning percentage of 100%."
No sooner had he finished speaking than an even louder shout came from the surrounding stands.
" Foodie! Foodie!"
Screams, louder and louder, echoed throughout the entire venue.
Li Xiang also raised an eyebrow in surprise, looking at the deafening cheers from the stands around him, and realized just how popular Foodie was.
Xu Jintang didn't stand on ceremony and waved to the audience around him when the spotlight shone on him.
[Ahhh, I'm so envious! I really want to go see the game live.]
Don't even mention it. I waited an hour beforehand and still couldn't get a single ticket. These fans must be incredibly fast.
[I originally wanted to buy a used ticket at a high price, but it was too expensive, so I hesitated for a moment, and someone else bought it, boohoo.]
[There's no other way but to try and get tickets for the finals. But I reckon those tickets will be even harder to get.]
After introducing the four players, the halftime break was almost over.
Li Xiang raised his hand to signal for silence.
The fans who were shouting immediately stopped.
In this round, the Dark Horse Team sent out Jiang Yun.
She walked indifferently onto the stage and stood opposite Jiang Shiyi.
"Hello, I'm Jiang Yun from the Dark Horse Team, and my mental strength level Third Tier." Jiang Yun introduced himself.
Jiang Shiyi, who was recovering his mental strength, opened his eyes and looked up at her, " The Ruthless Killer from the Mask Squad, mental strength level Fourth Tier."
As soon as the countdown for halftime ended, upbeat background music filled the arena, and the neon lights surrounding the ring began to flash.
"The fifth 1v1 duel is about to begin!" Li Xiang announced, raising his hand.
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yun immediately activated his supernatural ability.
A gold mine suddenly fell from the sky, crashing down on Jiang Shiyi like a small mountain.
A huge shadow loomed overhead.
Jiang Shiyi quickly bent over and, using the momentum of her body, pulled herself back sharply.
The rocket launcher that she had placed next to was also taken away.
With a loud crash, the gold ore hit the floor, creating a large crater in the arena.
Jiang Shiyi pulled up the Superpower Rocket Launcher, aimed the muzzle at Jiang Yun, and immediately started the bombardment mode.
The combo attack in the last round used up most of her mental energy, so she definitely can't use that move this round and can only fight normally.
The shells slammed into the gold mine, making a loud, clanging sound.
One piece of gold ore after another was thrown at Jiang Shiyi, the light reflected off the gold stones was extremely dazzling.
Jiang Shiyi narrowed his eyes slightly, turned around, picked up the rocket launcher, and fired again.
The powerful Energy-Concentrating Cannon pierced through the gold mine layer and headed straight for Jiang Yun.
Jiang Yun raised his hand and quickly summoned more gold mines to block in front of him.
Her gaze darkened, and she clasped her hands together in a summoning gesture.
" Golden Disc Magic Array!"
Golden light burst forth from her palm, and countless gold ores appeared out of thin air, forming a mysterious magic array around her.
As the magic array took shape, Jiang Yun, who was at the center of the array, instantly experienced a surge in power.
A golden light rose from her eyes, and she raised her hands, revealing a huge golden plate before her.
Jiang Shiyi raised her eyes and glanced at the golden plate.
The gold plate was engraved with complex and ancient symbols, and it exuded an aura of danger.
This must be one of the deadly moves that Teacher Zhuang had previously explained to them, which posed a significant threat.
The Golden Disc Magic Array, once activated, summons a golden disc with a powerful locking attack effect, allowing it to launch an unlimited number of attacks on enemies within five minutes.
[Just as expected. With this move, Jiang Yun is practically invincible for five minutes; it all depends on whether the opponent can withstand it.]
[Did the Dark Horse Team really get forced to use this tactic so quickly today?]
[ The Ruthless Killer used too much mental energy in the last round; he probably won't be able to withstand five minutes of this.]
Chapter 116
Jiang Yun remained calm, raised his hand to hold up the golden plate, and a dazzling golden light flashed from above. The golden plate slowly rotated, and the pointer in the center began to spin rapidly.
A powerful and domineering force erupted from the golden plate, sweeping towards Jiang Shiyi on the opposite side.
The places illuminated by the golden light instantly turned into a burnt wasteland.
Adding to the deep crater created by the gold mine, the entire arena was a mess in less than two minutes.
Jiang Shiyi ran ahead of Jin Guang, carrying the rocket launcher in one hand, aiming the muzzle at the golden plate and firing.
Several Energy-Concentrating Cannon were fired at the golden plate in succession, but the expected scene of the golden plate being destroyed did not occur. The moment the cannonballs hit the golden plate, they seemed to touch a transparent barrier and were directly bounced off.
Upon noticing this scene, Jiang Shiyi's gaze towards the gold plate turned serious.
It seems that only her combination technique can break this golden plate, but her current mental energy reserves are insufficient to unleash it again.
Just as she was pondering how to respond, the golden light swept towards her again.
Jiang Shiyi had no choice but to turn his gaze away and continue fleeing around the arena.
Golden light chased Jiang Shiyi around the arena, burning most of it into ruins.
