Chapter 129

Not long after, the five members of the Purple Rosy Clouds Pond Flower Team entered the arena.

The chants of support for the Mask Squad, which had just resounded throughout the venue, were immediately drowned out and replaced by screams and shouts from the fans of the Purple Rosy Clouds Pond Flower Team.

The fans of both teams seemed to be competing with each other.

[Ahhhh, it's starting! I've been waiting for this for ages, just waiting for the championship to begin.]

[The Mask Squad has to win! I bet 10,000 Star Coins on them to take the championship! Whether it will be worth a hundred times depends on today!]

[However, judging from the last semi-final, it seems the Mask Squad has already revealed most of their cards. Purple Rosy Clouds Pond Flower must have done a lot of research on them this week. The Mask Squad is in danger today.]

[That's not necessarily true; what if the Mask Squad has another trump card?]

Many viewers hope to see the Mask Squad win, since that would mean witnessing another new record being set.

However, from a rational perspective, the Mask Squad's chances of winning are not high.

While everyone was still debating, the two teams had already taken to the arena.

Li Xiang rode the hovering ball around the arena, waving to everyone around him, "The highly anticipated championship is about to begin! Let's count down for three seconds and start drawing for the championship duel mode!"

The stage lights began to flash, and a rhythmic countdown began.

The entire audience counted down in unison. "Three, two, one!"

The text that had been scrolling on the screen stopped.

Xu Jintang and the others looked up: [2v2, 3v3 mixed team battle mode]

"This is going to be interesting!"

"I love watching team battles the most, hahaha."

"Another mixed team battle? I wonder if the championship can go to a third game."

Many audience members became excited.

Xu Jintang withdrew his gaze, turned and walked off the stage. He exchanged a glance with Jiang Shiyi and whispered, "Let's go for the first match, the two of us."

Jiang Shiyi nodded, "Mm."

Back in the team waiting area, Song Tianqi rubbed his hands excitedly, "Brothers, whether we can win the championship or not depends on this one last effort!"

Yan Yuting took a deep breath, clearly a little nervous, "I hope everything goes well."

Xue Zhongqi remained relatively calm, simply replying, "Just do your best."

On the other side, the five members of the Purple Rosy Clouds Pond Flower Team huddled together to discuss who should be sent out for the first match.

"Captain, how about the two of us go? The first match will probably be a test between the two sides, they won't send out any particularly strong players." The team member volunteered.

Mu Yongshou was also hesitant.

He glanced at the next room out of the corner of his eye. "Okay, you two come on over."

For some reason, although they appeared to be the stronger party on the surface, he felt uneasy. He hoped he was just overthinking things.

Chapter 129

The ten-minute halftime break passed quickly.

Both sides sent their players to the field for the first match.

When the audience saw that the Mask Squad sent out Xu Jintang and Jiang Shiyi in the first match, they were all puzzled.

"The Mask Squad went all out in their first match?"

"Both the Foodie and the Ruthless Killer are the Mask Squad's top fighters. This is probably their first time participating in a 2v2 battle."

"Exciting! This is going to be a good show, hahaha!"

On the judges' panel, Jing Hongyi sat up straight and looked at Xu Jintang.

His gaze followed his opponent as they walked onto the ring.

Xu Jintang and Jiang Shiyi stood side by side.

The two players from the opposing Purple Rosy Clouds Pond Flower Team had serious expressions and solemn gazes.

"Su Mo from the Purple Rosy Clouds Pond Flower Team, Mental Strength Level Fifth Tier."

Jiang Shiyi stepped forward at the same time, "The Mask Squad's Ruthless Killer, mental strength level Fourth Tier."

The two shook hands politely and returned to their original positions.

It was the turn of the second member from each side to introduce themselves.

"Jiang Baimu of the Purple Rosy Clouds Pond Flower Team, Peak of the Fourth Tier mental strength."

The satellite camera focused on Xu Jintang.

She crossed her arms in front of her, stepped forward, and extended one hand in a gesture, "Mask Squad Foodie, mental strength level Fourth Tier."

Jiang Baimu quickly shook hands with her, then paused for a moment after regaining his senses.

How did the Foodie's" mental strength level become Fourth Tier?

[Something's not right. I remember during the semi-finals, Foodie's mental strength level was still at the Peak Third Tier, right? She broke through so quickly??]

[Holy crap, the entire Mask Squad is truly freakish now. Two sixteen-year-old Fourth Tier, how terrifying.]

[Hahaha, this match is going to be even more exciting!]

Jing Hongyi, one of the judges, raised an eyebrow. "They've actually advanced to Fourth Tier."

Jiang Wenzhuo pursed his lips, his gaze becoming deep.

If this Mask Squad is also a secret team trained by the five major military academies, then the Military Academy League three years later will probably be filled with bloodshed again.

Deputy Director Wang, who was standing to the side, rested his hands on the armrests of his chair, a smile appearing on his face. "This Mask Squad is no ordinary team."

"I hereby declare the first 2v2 match of this year's Ability User Competition Championship to begin!" Li Xiang announced, holding up the microphone.

The previously noisy discussions then ceased.

The entire room fell silent.

On the arena, the four people standing opposite each other quickly made their move.

The thick layer of ice quickly spread across the entire area, causing the surrounding air temperature to drop.

Xu Jintang immediately lunged at Jiang Baimu.

Three clusters of Ice Blade Storm quickly formed and swept towards the two opponents.

Several gusts of air immediately swirled up on the stage, causing Jiang Shiyi's hair to fly wildly.

Jiang Shiyi deftly picked up the rocket launcher and fired it at the other side.

Several shells flew out in succession.

Su Mo's special ability is an electric shield. When the shells are flying in, she quickly raises the shield, and the crackling sound of electricity spreads through the air, quickly forming an electric defensive light wave.

All the shells were intercepted, exploding in the air with a loud "boom".

Thick smoke rose, obscuring half of the arena from view.

The audience had no choice but to crane their necks and shift their bodies to find other angles to continue watching.

A moment later, Xu Jintang burst out of the thick smoke, her arms outstretched to the sides, and three Ice Mist Snow Lotus quickly formed in front of her.

A thick fog descended, further obscuring the already smoky arena and making visibility even worse.

Both members of the Purple Rosy Clouds Pond Flower Team were also stunned.

Before the match, they had studied the data on the Foodie," but they hadn't anticipated that he could advance to the Fourth Tier at this time. Therefore, they were completely unaware of the newly emerging superpower effects.

"We don't know what strange effects this ice mist has, so let's make sure we don't get separated," Jiang Baimu whispered to Su Mo beside him.

Su Mo's gaze became cautious, and she raised her Lightning Light Shield to guard her surroundings.

The fog grew thicker and thicker, and everything in front of me was a white blur.

Xu Jintang stopped and activated the Domain Detection effect while standing still.

The detailed scene of the entire arena immediately appeared in his mind, and the positions of Su Mo and Jiang Baimu were also exposed.

"They're both over there at nine o'clock," Xu Jintang shared the information with Jiang Shiyi without looking to the side.

"Understood." Jiang Shiyi simply replied, then shouldered the Superpower Rocket Launcher and launched a bombardment attack on the other side.

--Rocket launcher combination attack.

Crimson flashes rapidly gathered at the muzzle of the cannon and were fired in just two seconds.

With their vision obscured by the icy mist, Su Mo and Jiang Baimu dared not move around carelessly. They cautiously explored their surroundings, back to back.

"What's that sound?" Jiang Baimu stopped in his tracks, alert.

Su Mo stopped abruptly, realizing something, "Oh no, it's a bombardment by Ruthless Killer!"

The moment the words left their mouths, the two quickly separated and ran off in different directions.

The sound of shells flying through the air could be heard.

Su Mo had only taken two steps when the rocket launcher's super-powered cannon flew towards her. It was too fast for her to dodge, so she could only grit her teeth and raise her Lightning Light Shield to defend herself.

Mental energy rapidly gathered on the shield, and the light emitted by the electric Lightning Light Shield became dazzling.

A sharp buzzing sound reverberated throughout the venue.

Many audience members immediately covered their ears, saying, "That sound gave me goosebumps."

The three judges remained seated firmly.

Although the arena was completely obscured by the icy mist, the three were clearly unaffected, their eyes fixed intently on the situation.

"This Ruthless Killer's skill set was created by herself?" Deputy Director Wang asked, his tone tinged with surprise.

Jiang Wenzhuo nodded, "Yes, it should be. To be able to cultivate to the Fourth Tier at this age is already extremely genius, and to be able to create one's own combination techniques, one's talent can only be described as terrifying."

Jing Hongyi stroked his chin, his smile growing increasingly satisfied. "Not bad."

The sounds of fighting and impact echoed continuously on the arena.

Xu Jintang's attack speed was so fast that it left afterimages.

Because of the Domain Detection effect, none of her attacks missed.

Even though Su Mo dodged very quickly, she still inevitably got hit in several places.

On the other side, Jiang Baimu frowned, quickly leaped into the air, and spread his arms.

A flash of silver light appeared, and he vanished into thin air, only to reappear behind Xu Jintang a second later.

Xu Jintang narrowed his eyes slightly.

They had also studied Jiang Baimu's special ability; it was spatial teleportation.

By distorting and shortening the spatial range, superhumans can achieve rapid travel.

When Jiang Baimu circled behind Xu Jintang, he quickly made a move, attempting to pin Xu Jintang to the ground.

Sensing danger from behind, Xu Jintang coldly cursed, "You're asking for it."

As soon as she finished speaking, she quickly bent over and reached her arms behind her back.

Jiang Baimu, who was about to strangle her, missed his target. At that moment, Xu Jintang's arm grabbed him.

Jiang Baimu was caught off guard when Xu Jintang grabbed his waist.

A look of panic crossed his eyes, and he quickly retreated, trying to break free.
