Exclamations immediately erupted from the stands.
When monsters and humans are of the same level, monsters are definitely stronger; that's beyond doubt.
In Xie Gaoyi's team, he was the only one at the Peak Third Tier.
"Captain, what should we do?" The team members immediately surrounded Xie Gaoyi, their voices filled with tension.
Xie Gaoyi's eyes were fixed on the dragon high in the sky. "I'll deal with the dragon. You guys hold off the others."
"Yes!" The team members immediately dispersed, each heading towards a different person on the other side.
"Bang bang--"
The sounds of forces clashing echoed across the arena.
A cold glint flashed in Yu Wanyao's eyes. She immediately raised her hand and threw out several ice arrows, which flew toward the four members of the Aierteng Military Academy.
" Blizzard Ape Possession!" Yan Zitao spread his arms, and a blinding white light instantly erupted from his body. Snow-white fur rapidly covered his entire body at a speed visible to the naked eye.
His original physique began to rapidly increase, and in just a few seconds he looked like Tarzan of the Apes.
"Thump--"
Yan Zitao got into a fight with the charging members of the Aierteng Military Academy.
A fierce battle quickly broke out.
Xie Gaoyi tiptoed, and a finely crafted mechanical gun instantly appeared in his hand.
His long, slender fingers rested on the trigger, his hands supporting the gun, his gaze calmly fixed on the dragon high in the sky.
"Click--"
Xie Gaoyi pulled the trigger, and a crisp sound of a bullet firing rang out.
A bullet the size of a thumb flew towards the Twin-Winged Jiaolong.
Faced with the massive, Twin-Winged Jiaolong, Xie Gaoyi's mechanical gun seemed utterly powerless.
However, the bullets exploded with powerful damage the moment they touched the dragon's body.
Even Yu Wanyao was very close by, was forced back by the force of the explosion.
She looked up at Xie Gaoyi across from her, her eyes showing a hint of seriousness.
Inside the private lounge.
Xu Jintang leaned back on the sofa and suddenly spoke up, "How about we make a bet and see how many minutes it takes for this duel to end?"
Song Tianqi warily raised his arms and crossed them in front of him, adopting a defensive posture. "No gambling."
Xue Zhongqi and Yan Yuting exchanged a glance and quickly shook their heads, "No betting!"
They had been tricked by their class monitor countless times before, and this time they were determined not to fall for it again.
Xu Jintang sighed softly, "It's boring."
At this moment, Jiang Shiyi suddenly interjected, "How do we bet?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Jintang immediately became interested, "I bet you can end this duel within five minutes."
Jiang Shiyi looked at her, "Which side are you betting on?"
I bet it will be over within five minutes.
Jiang Shiyi was silent for a moment, then said, "I also bet that it will be over within five minutes."
A silence fell over the room.
Song Tianqi, standing nearby, turned his head in confusion. "It'll be over in five minutes? The situation looks a bit tense."
Xu Jintang crossed his arms in front of him. "Then why don't you make a bet with us?"
"No." Song Tianqi immediately denied it, turning his head resolutely to continue staring at the arena below.
The gambling attempt failed, and silence returned to the private room.
Xu Jintang leaned back on the sofa idly and continued watching the game.
Jiang Shiyi then spoke up, "How could you tell that the battle would be over in five minutes?"
Her searching gaze swept towards Xu Jintang's location.
Xu Jintang slightly raised the corners of her lips, "I guess you've noticed too, haven't you? Wanyao's skills have improved quite a bit since we first started school."
Jiang Shiyi nodded. "Yes, I can see that."
The conversation between the two reached Song Tianqi's ears.
He turned his head curiously, "It's just that you went from the Peak Second Tier to the Third Tier, is that a big improvement?"
"You wouldn't understand," Xu Jintang wagged her index finger at him, "Just wait and see."
These words piqued the curiosity of Yan Yuting and Xue Zhongqi.
Everyone quickly turned their attention to the arena.
At this moment, three battle circles had formed in different positions on the arena.
At the very top are Xie Gaoyi and Wei Zixuan's Twin-Winged Jiaolong, fighting fiercely. However, judging from the current situation, Wei Zixuan's Twin-Winged Jiaolong is currently in the lead.
The intense fight in the middle of the ring was Yu Wanyao and her two opponents.
Yu Wanyao fought two opponents single-handedly and held her own, forcing them into a series of retreats.
The outermost pair is Qin Shuxue and Yan Zitao.
Qin Shuxue's auxiliary abilities covered the entire area, and she would occasionally raise her hand to release Holy Light Irradiation.
The students and teachers in the audience all stared intently at what was happening on stage.
Until Yu Wanyao suddenly erupted.
She raised her finger to the sky, her face cold as she mobilized her immense spiritual power.
--Frenzied Dance of Ice.
This is the area-of-effect damage skill effect that appears after she advances to the Third Tier.
Its coverage area is slightly less than that of domain-type superpowers, but its destructive power is by no means weak.
In an instant, the area where the two opposing team members were standing was completely covered by ice and snow. The blizzard that fell from the sky swirled into a cylindrical shape, enveloping the two team members within it.
The biting wind howled, and the two shivered simultaneously. Just as they were about to defend themselves, the ice that had already silently spread to their feet suddenly erupted. In just half a second, the two were frozen solid, turning into ice sculptures.
Yu Wanyao didn't give them a chance to break free. She rushed forward and kicked the two people, who were already frozen into ice sculptures, off the stage.
The referee, regaining his composure, immediately raised his hand and announced, "Both members of the Aierteng Military Academy have been eliminated. The match continues."
Xie Gaoyi, who was still confronting the dragon, was startled.
He subconsciously turned his head to look at the two team members who had already stepped off the stage.
The two had just thawed and were shivering, hugging their arms.
"Brother, don't get distracted right now," Wei Zixuan's voice came from above.
Xie Gaoyi snapped out of his daze and looked up.
Wei Zixuan sat atop the Twin-Winged Jiaolong, a playful smile on his face.
Xie Gaoyi was startled and immediately raised his gun to fire.
Several bullets were fired in succession.
Explosions rang out one after another.
The wings of the Twin-Winged Jiaolong slowly rose, blocking Wei Zixuan's path.
With her hands free Yu Wanyao glanced at the Twin-Winged Jiaolong and, seeing that Wei Zixuan could hold his own, immediately turned and rushed to the other side of the battle.
With Qin Shuxue's assistance, Yan Zitao maintained the upper hand throughout.
Yu Wanyao's entry into the fray further increased their advantage.
Before long, the two opposing team members were also knocked off the stage.
In the blink of an eye, Xie Gaoyi was the only one left at the Aierteng Military Academy.
The Twin-Winged Jiaolong continuously spewed out flames, the intense heat scorching the surrounding air and burning Xie Gaoyi's cheeks red.
At that moment, Yu Wanyao's Ice and Snow Frenzied Dance attack came rushing in.
The combined attack of ice and fire finally broke Xie Gaoyi's composure.
After firing a volley of bullets, he quickly retreated and raised his hands in surrender. "I surrender."
The referee immediately stepped forward to shield Xie Gaoyi from attacks from both sides and announced, "The first match is won by the Leikdasi Military Academy. After a ten-minute break, we will continue with the second match. Please be patient."
A chorus of boos immediately erupted from the stands.
"I'm impressed. I know we can't beat Leikedasi, but this was too quick. We didn't even last five minutes."
"Luckily it's a best-of-five series. If it were a single game, we wouldn't have any hope at all."
"Yu Wanyao Leikedasi is indeed exceptionally strong."
"I think the key to turning the tide lies with their Wei Zixuan. If he summons a weaker monster in the next match, our military academy still has a chance to win."
"Well, in that case, it's just gambling on the other side's bad luck."
The murmurs of the crowd reached Xie Gaoyi's ears.
His expression darkened slightly.
The team members surrounding him looked somewhat nervous.
"Captain, do you think we still have a chance to win?"
"The opposing team is incredibly strong, especially Yu Wanyao. Their support is also very powerful; once they unleash their healing skills, their team is practically invincible."
Xie Gaoyi took a deep breath and gradually calmed down.
"Of course there's a chance to win. We were crushed in this match mainly because Wei Zixuan on the other side unleashed a Peak Third Tier Twin-Winged Jiaolong. But he can't be that lucky every time."
"So if he only summons monsters below the Third Tier in the next round, we'll have a chance to win."
The team members exchanged glances, nodded, and then placed their hands together, shouting, "Go for it!"
Yu Wanyao and the other four left the stage one after another.
The players clearly hadn't exerted their full strength yet, and the victory in this duel was entirely within their expectations.
Wei Zixuan crossed his arms and stretched his body backward. "I don't know if I'll be so lucky in the next round. If I manage to summon Peak Second Tier demonic beast, then everyone will have to bear a bit more pressure."
Yan Zitao patted him on the shoulder cheerfully, "Don't worry, we can handle it."
After stepping off the stage, Yu Wanyao lowered her head and flexed her wrists, her mind constantly replaying the details of the battle she had just fought.
"That Xie Gaoyi on the other side probably hasn't used his full strength yet. If Wei Zixuan's summoned beast isn't too threatening in the next round, Xie Gaoyi will likely target the rest of you. Be careful," Yu Wanyao warned.
The others replied, "Understood."
Inside the private lounge.
Xu Jintang rested his hands on the sofa armrests. "Sure enough, the battle was over in just four minutes."
Jiang Shiyi nodded, " Yu Wanyao's Ice and Snow Frenzied Dance skill damage is probably even stronger."
"Huh? How did you two figure that out?" Song Tianqi scratched his head in confusion.
