Chapter 135

"Radiant Sun Scorches the Plains!" The river of fire that had just caused Xu Jintang so much trouble reappeared.

This time, however, the energy of the Fire River was noticeably weaker than before, and its area was also smaller.

The sweltering heat wave halted Xu Jintang's steps.

She activated her ice attribute, and countless glaciers suddenly appeared, quickly colliding with the river of fire.

Previously, when the two sides were locked in a stalemate, Huohe had always had the upper hand, but this time the two sides have reached a deadlock.

[This Foodie's second superpower is amazing! He forcibly downgrades the opponent; I've never heard of such a terrifying skill effect before.]

[Didn't you see how hard Mu Yongshou was working to get even Foodie?]

[However, I'm curious about how long this overpowered skill effect lasts. One minute? Or two minutes?]

I feel like it will take at most five minutes.

Mu Yongshou and the others were actually speculating about the maximum possible duration of Xu Jintang's skill.

"After we're downgraded, the enemy will definitely launch a fierce attack, everyone be careful," Su Mo quickly reminded them, then raised her Lightning Light Shield and charged into the battle without hesitation.

Jiang Baimu leaped into the air, gritted his teeth, and charged towards the other side as well.

The remaining team member seemed a little nervous.

After being demoted, he only had the strength of Peak Third Tier, making him too easy to be eliminated by the opponent.

I was already nervous, and then suddenly Song Tianqi shouted and charged towards us from the opposite side, "Crimson Flame Burst!"

Nine clusters of Scarlet Flame quickly took shape, then rapidly compressed together, forming a fireball bursting with energy.

By the time the team members realized what was happening, the fireball was already upon them.

He swiftly raised his curved blade and slashed a wave of air forward.

The air wave collided with the fireball, lasting only two seconds before being engulfed by the fireball.

"Trying to run away!" Xue Zhongqi shouted as he rushed over, throwing out several Attack Inscription.

The two players' double-team attack on that player was very aggressive.

Before long, the opponent was forced back to the edge of the ring.

At this moment, Jiang Baimu teleported above Xue Zhongqi and kicked him hard, trying to knock Xue Zhongqi away.

However, he was prepared.

Xue Zhongqi crushed the Defense Inscription in his palm.

The energy within the Inscription Talisman rapidly spread into the air, then condensed into a defensive shield.

Jiang Baimu didn't have time to retract his leg before he kicked the protective shield.

"Hiss..." He felt a sharp pain in his toe and immediately gasped for breath.

Meanwhile, the team member had already been knocked off the stage by the combined efforts of Xue Zhongqi and Song Tianqi.

Li Xiang caught the player and then announced loudly, "The game continues."

Xue Zhongqi and Song Tianqi exchanged a glance.

The two turned around in unison and quickly pounced on Jiang Baimu together.

Jiang Baimu quickly teleported away.

Now, only three members of the Purple Rosy Clouds Pond Flower Team remain on the arena.

After realizing the situation was not good, Mu Yongshou's expression turned serious.

"Captain, how about we eliminate Big Watermelon and Jade Fox first?" Jiang Baimu asked casually as he teleported next to Mu Yongshou.

Mu Yongshou's gaze quickly swept over Xu Jintang and his group on the opposite side. "No, I have to stay and keep Foodie. You and Su Mo try to eliminate one of them first."

"Okay." Jiang Baimu nodded immediately, then teleported again.

[The second ability of the Foodie" is a bit overpowered. And it seems like five minutes have passed, but the downgrade effect hasn't disappeared yet.]

[If this downgrade effect lasts for ten minutes, this ability would truly be overpowered.]

[Does this mean the Mask Squad is about to make a comeback?]

Several more rounds of fierce fighting ensued.

The beads of sweat on Mu Yongshou's forehead grew thicker and thicker, and a dark cloud settled over his face.

After his mental strength level was lowered, he was no match for the Foodie, and sometimes he was even completely outmatched by them.

Soon, Xu Jintang delivered another violent punch and kick.

This time Mu Yongshou couldn't withstand the blow and was kicked off Radiant Sun Phoenix onto the arena.

Xu Jintang leaped into the air, clenched her fists, and continued charging towards him.

"Radiant Sun Scorching Light!"

At a command, the Radiant Sun Phoenix immediately spread its wings, and then a dazzling light slowly rose from the center of the arena.

Xu Jintang felt a surge of scorching air.

She glanced up at the golden ball of fire rising opposite her.

The sphere was engulfed in raging flames.

Golden light radiated outwards continuously, and the flames inside seemed about to burst forth.

Xu Jintang pursed her dry lips.

With her arms outstretched, a massive glacier instantly rose behind her, casting a shadow over half of the arena.

"Sister Shiyi, go help the captain. We'll handle things here." Song Tianqi rushed to Jiang Shiyi's side and said in a low voice.

Jiang Shiyi glanced up at the neighbor's room. "Understood."

Without saying a word, she rushed towards Xu Jintang's position, simultaneously hoisting the rocket super-powered cannon, aiming the muzzle at the golden flame ball, and immediately activating the lock-on bombardment mode.

Soon, the attacks from the three sides converged.

A piercing, sharp screech suddenly rang out.

Mu Yongshou felt an irresistible force surge towards him, and his body was then thrown away.

He tried to stop by force, but the impact was too strong.

"Holy crap! Mu Yongshou's been knocked out!" A scream immediately erupted from the stands.

That shout sent the entire audience into a frenzy.

"It's over, the Purple Rosy Clouds Pond Flower Team is truly finished this time."

"Even Mu Yongshou is out, what use are the remaining two?"

"What? Does that mean I'm going to become rich overnight?! I bet on the Mask Squad to win the championship! The odds were 1 to 100!"

Zhuang Silin gripped the armrests of the chair tightly, a hint of excitement flashing in her eyes.

She never dared to dream that Xu Jintang and the other four could win the championship, but judging from the current situation, they are only one step away from the championship.

Below the arena, Mu Yongshou had already been eliminated, shook his head in disappointment.

There was no way he could withstand the combined attack of the Foodie and the Ruthless Killer after being forcibly demoted.

Su Mo and Jiang Baimu, who were still on the stage, were stunned.

They exchanged a glance, a hint of panic flashing in their eyes simultaneously.

Even the captain is out, leaving only the two of them. Is there any chance of winning this duel?

Moreover, ten minutes have passed since they were forcibly demoted, but the effects on them have not yet worn off.

"Attack with all your might!" Xu Jintang shouted as he stood on the high glacier.

Song Tianqi and his group exchanged glances, then quickly rushed towards the other side.

Su Mo and Jiang Baimu had no choice but to bite the bullet and accept the challenge.

But the outcome was obvious: in a 5v2 situation, even the strongest two couldn't withstand it, especially since they were both affected by the Silence Domain of the Tilting Scales.

After holding out for a few minutes, Su Mo was the first to be eliminated.

Jiang Baimu was the only one left who managed to hide until the very end using his teleportation ability, but when he was the only one left, he was soon knocked off the stage.

With the last member of the Purple Rosy Clouds Pond Flower Team eliminated, the match came to an end.

Xu Jintang jumped off the glacier, one hand on his hip, the other pointing arrogantly to the sky.

Jiang Shiyi, carrying a rocket launcher, leaned against her, striking the same pose of pointing to the sky.

Immediately afterwards, Yan Yuting, Song Tianqi, and Xue Zhongqi also stood side by side.

The entire room fell silent.

All eyes were on the five people in the arena.

Two seconds later, a deafening cheer erupted. "Mask Squad! Mask Squad!"

Li Xiang snapped out of his daze, jumped onto the stage, smiled, raised the microphone, and loudly announced, "The ultimate champions of this year's Ability User Competition Mask Squad!!"

[Aaaaaaah! The Mask Squad really won!!]

[Help, my brain is a little foggy, did the Mask Squad really win?]

[The Mask Squad is the real Dark Horse Team!!]

Chapter 135

The five members of the Purple Rosy Clouds Pond Flower Team below the arena all had complicated expressions.

Mu Yongshou, in particular, looked so frustrated that he looked like he had eaten dirt.

Before the match, he had thought of everything, but he never expected that the Foodie" would have two superpowers. What's even more outrageous is that the opponent's second superpower can force a downgrade.

They've encountered such abstract issues, so losing the game is perfectly normal.

"Don't be discouraged. Anyone would have lost this match. It's normal for us to lose," Mu Yongshou said first, trying to ease the tension.

The others understood the situation, but their feelings remained complicated.

Despite being the seniors of the five members of the Mask Squad in terms of age, they suffered a crushing defeat in the competition.

This is no different from slapping them directly in the face.

The audience in the stands.

Wei Zixuan was the first to excitedly clench his fist and stand up, exclaiming, "Awesome!"

Yu Wanyao and the others exchanged glances, their faces showing both surprise and barely concealed joy.

Seeing how excited everyone else was, Jing Yuanzheng was a little bewildered.

However, since everyone was immersed in the joyful atmosphere, he didn't want to disturb them, so he could only stand up and applaud along with them.

On the other side, Zhuang Silin and Miao Mingzhi exchanged a surprised glance.

Wu Jinghong immediately stood up excitedly, clenched her fist, and shouted along with the fans at the scene, "Mask Squad!"

The energetic and passionate background music resounded throughout the venue.

At the same time, countless glittery ribbons shot out from all around the arena.

Li Xiang approached Xu Jintang and the other four, continuing his speech, "Thank you to all the viewers and fans for your support. This year's Ability User Competition has lasted for a total of sixty-three days. During this period, there have been hundreds of trending topics related to us, and we have also collaborated with over a hundred shops on co-branded merchandise, creating unprecedented sales records."

"It can be said that this year's Ability User Competition was the most successful and fulfilling in recent years. Thank you all for your support, and congratulations again to the five members of the Mask Squad for winning the overall championship of this year's competition."
