The battle in the arena below, however, is becoming increasingly intense.
When his four teammates were once again driven back by the enemy mammoth, Xie Gaoyi in the rear finally reacted.
A faint crimson light flashed in Xie Gaoyi's eyes.
He slowly raised the gun with both hands.
An invisible energy surged from the muzzle of the gun, distorting the surrounding air.
Yu Wanyao immediately looked up and alertly summoned the Black Armor Turtle.
She stood on the turtle's back, and the glacier rapidly spread outwards from her.
Everyone else sensed something was wrong and retreated to a safe distance.
All eyes in the arena were on the ring.
Xie Gaoyi, his face cold, pulled the trigger, and a dark red bullet shot out from the muzzle.
Yu Wanyao's gaze swept over the bullets.
Dark red bullets?
This attack was indeed different from the previous ones.
Yu Wanyao raised her hand and waved it towards the opposite side, and the ice layer quickly spread over.
The dark red bullet exploded instantly upon contact with the ice.
The energy contained within surged outwards like a volcanic eruption.
Yu Wanyao's ultimate skill Ice and Snow Frenzied Dance, was also unleashed at the same time.
Inside the private room, Xu Jintang subconsciously tiptoed and strained to get closer to the window, ready to watch the outcome of the ultimate showdown.
Principal Erten did the same thing.
He clenched his fists, leaned forward slightly, and focused all his attention on the ring.
The final showdown Yu Wanyao and Xie Gaoyi sent everyone else flying off the stage.
Wei Zixuan reacted quickly; as his body flew up, he swiftly grabbed the mammoth's tusk and remained on the arena despite the impact.
The blinding beam of light forced the entire audience to close their eyes.
The burst of power lasted for a few seconds.
The referee was now airborne, looking down at the situation on the ring.
He could sense that the auras of the two people on the stage were rising rapidly, but he couldn't very well stop them, so he could only let them continue to clash.
"We won." A voice suddenly rang out in the quiet rest room.
Principal Erten, who was intently focused on the situation on the arena, paused, slowly turning his head to look at the location from which the sound had come.
It was Xu Jintang who said it.
She leaned silently against the wall, looking completely calm and collected.
Immediately afterward, Zhuang Silin, who was standing nearby, also spoke up, "Principal, you flatter us."
Principal Erten snapped out of his reverie, a bitter smile playing on his lips. "You're too kind. Your students are indeed quite capable; we've learned a great deal."
As the three-way dialogue concluded, the referee simultaneously announced the results, "In the third match, Leikedasi emerges victorious. The ultimate winner of this round of the challenge is Leikdasi Military Academy."
The remaining power on the arena slowly dissipated.
Slightly disheveled from the shock, Xie Gaoyi looked up and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally, we lost."
Because he had already anticipated that they would lose, he was actually less nervous now that they had completely lost the game.
Yu Wanyao stood up straight again, clasped her hands in a fist and bowed to Xie Gaoyi, saying, "Thank you for your kind offer."
Wei Zixuan, who was still hanging on the mammoth, jumped down.
He clapped his hands, smiled, and walked towards Xie Gaoyi, "Brother, let's spar again next time."
Xie Gaoyi smiled and said, "Okay."
After the challenge match ended, the video of the fight between the two sides was quickly uploaded to the Star Network.
Wow, Leikedasi shut out their opponent in the very first game!
A shutout means a 3-0 victory over the opponent.
This kind of winning strategy requires completely overwhelming the opponent's strength, so once it appears, it will inevitably cause a lot of discussion.
Wow, Leikedasi is amazing! Looking forward to their next challenge!
[Hahaha, who are they going to play next?]
[Last year, Clifford had a 100% win rate in his challenge matches; Leikedasi will probably have to achieve a 100% win rate too.]
[This challenge match is going to be interesting, hahaha.]
Chapter 179
In less than half a day, the video of Leikedasi's challenge battle against the Aierteng Military Academy had spread throughout the Star Network.
Netizens from all walks of life began to discuss the matter.
However, the principals and leaders of the remaining military academies in the K006 mid-sector were not so relaxed.
Generally speaking, such a challenge would involve wiping out all the military academies in a star system.
Therefore, after Elten, it will definitely be the turn of other military academies soon.
The next morning, the principal of the Suofei'er Military Academy received a challenge from Zhuang Silin.
Principal Alice has long, flowing blonde hair.
Her emerald green eyes scanned Leikedasi's challenge invitation on the screen opposite her, her red lips slightly pursed.
" Aierteng Military Academy got shut out in their first match, now the pressure is on us."
The head of the grade standing to the side rubbed his forehead and sighed softly, "Our K006 Star Sector is really unlucky; they got picked by Leikedasi."
The challengers are all randomly selected.
They never expected to be selected by Leikedasi this year.
"We'll be challenged sooner or later, by the First Military Academy. Even if we lose, it's not shameful. Take it easy." Principal Alice rose with a relieved expression, raised her red lips, brushed aside a strand of blonde hair that had fallen beside her ear, and regained her elegant and beautiful demeanor.
The head of the grade thought about it and agreed. He nodded, "Alright, I'll inform our students to prepare right away."
Inside a suite at Cosmos Interstellar Hotel.
Xu Jintang leaned against the corner, holding a new cup of crushed ice cream, and slacked off.
Then Zhuang Silin suddenly called out, " Xu Jintang and the others, pay attention. Even though you're on the reserve team, you can't be too relaxed."
Xu Jintang immediately sat up straight and replied solemnly, "Yes!"
The others followed suit, replying, "Yes!"
" Suofei'er Military Academy is ranked over a hundred places higher than Erden, so our team members are definitely stronger. Therefore Yu Wanyao, the five of you won't have it easy this time," Zhuang Silin continued, emphasizing, "Before this challenge, we'll have a day off. Take your time to adjust, and contact me anytime if anything comes up."
Yu Wanyao nodded, "Okay."
After the meeting, Zhuang Silin was the first to turn and leave.
The remaining Yu Wanyao and the others fell silent.
"What's the arrangement? Tell me, I'm listening." Wei Zixuan spread his hands and got straight to the point.
Xu Jintang nodded in unison, "Yes, yes, you go ahead, I'm listening."
Yu Wanyao's expression gradually turned serious. "The five people from the Suofei'er Military Academy are definitely stronger than the five from Elten. Moreover, none of the Suofei'er Military Academy's official team members have ever participated in any public competitions. We don't know their mental strength levels or special abilities."
Qin Shuxue continued, "But all five of our abilities were exposed yesterday. This challenge against Sophie has added considerable difficulty for us."
"Okay, this afternoon the five of us will practice other formations again," Yu Wanyao nodded in agreement.
Xu Jintang and his four companions continued to be left to their own devices.
Seeing that there was nothing for them to do, Xu Jintang volunteered, "Then I'll ask to go for a walk?"
"Go ahead." Yu Wanyao didn't have time to pay attention to her and quickly nodded.
Xu Jintang immediately stood up, patted his bottom, and swaggered out of the room.
A moment later, Song Tianqi followed him out. "Squad leader, wait for me! Let's go together."
Xue Zhongqi wanted to study new inscription techniques and planned to go back to his room for a secluded afternoon.
Jiang Shiyi and Yan Yuting also needed to cultivate, so they returned to their respective rooms.
Two minutes later, Xu Jintang and Song Tianqi walked out of the hotel one after the other.
"I've done my research. The most famous and unique attraction in the K006 Star Sector is the Heaven Ascension Platform. This Heaven Ascension Platform is different from ordinary tourist attractions that can only be visited," Song Tianqi muttered in his ear.
Xu Jintang took a sip from his crushed ice cream cup. "Let's go take a look."
Song Tianqi nodded, "Let's go, maybe we can give it a try."
"A challenge?" Xu Jintang turned his head. "What do you mean?"
"That Heaven Ascension Platform is like a challenge arena where you can compete and break records. Once you break a record, your name will be displayed at the top of the Heaven Ascension Platform forever. It's a great place to show off, which is why it's so popular. People from other star systems come here specifically to challenge the Heaven Ascension Platform just to show off their skills."
Xu Jintang, biting her straw, said, "Let's go take a look."
Half an hour later, the light-speed levitation train, which had passed the Heaven Ascension Platform, arrived at the station.
The car door opened, Xu Jintang got out, holding a cup of crushed ice cream.
Looking up, a towering observation deck stretches as far as the eye can see.
The highest point of the observation deck soars into the clouds, leaving a faint, indistinct silhouette.
The gaze moves from top to bottom until it is level with the observation deck in front of it. On the first floor, there is a vertical sign that reads "Ascending to the Heaven Ascension Platform ".
"So this is the legendary Heaven Ascension Platform? It doesn't look particularly special."
"Don't underestimate it. This Heaven Ascension Platform looks like an ordinary pavilion on the outside, but it contains a hidden world inside. It has a virtual magic array inside, and once you enter, the corresponding enemies for each level will automatically be generated."
I overheard two passersby talking.
Xu Jintang raised an eyebrow, "Isn't this almost like a simulated battlefield?"
"Yeah, it's pretty much the same. The main thing is that you can break records and show off after completing the challenge here," Song Tianqi nodded in agreement.
At this point, Song Tianqi suddenly leaned over and nudged Xu Jintang with his elbow, "Squad leader, how about we give it a go?"
Xu Jintang had just finished the last sip of his crushed ice cream. "Let's go, get a bunch!"
After saying that, she threw the empty cup into the trash can.
Song Tianqi rolled up his sleeves, rubbed his hands excitedly, and followed.
The registration area on the Heaven Ascension Platform was crowded with people, but most of them were just watching, clearly there to see what was going on.
