Chapter 303
"That's impressive. Aside from the top five military academies, it's really not easy for other military academies to train a Fifth Tier student."
A heated discussion broke out in the audience.
At this moment, the referee, seated on a hovering ball, flew into the air and gestured downwards. "This round of 1v1 duels begins now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Zitao and Wang Qian rushed towards the other side at the same time.
During the sprint, Yan Zitao's body quickly grew long white fur, and sharp claws and teeth appeared on his fingertips. In just a few seconds, he transformed into a white Blizzard Ape.
"Lightning Cross Slash!" Wang Qian crossed her arms in front of her chest, and as she activated her supernatural power, two overlapping arcs of electricity appeared in front of her.
The electric arc emitted a crackling sound as the energy accumulated grew stronger.
Just as Yan Zitao charged over, the Lightning Cross Slash instantly took shape.
The attacks from both sides clashed rapidly, and the superiority of one side over the other was immediately apparent.
Yan Zitao was forced back to the edge of the ring like a cannonball, and only managed to stop himself by slamming on the brakes.
"Yan Zitao has actually fallen behind. The members of the Grande Military Academy are indeed exceptionally strong."
"Oh no, are we really going to let the Dark Horse Team suppress the five major military academies?"
"As far as I remember, Lin Qing wasn't the strongest in the Grande Military Academy team."
While the audience was discussing, the two on stage exchanged blows several more times, but Yan Zitao failed to gain the upper hand each time. Instead, he was subjected to various ranged attacks by Wang Qian, which made him very uncomfortable.
"What's the background of this Grande Military Academy? Where did this dark horse military academy come from?" Yan Yuting asked, slumped on the sofa, looking puzzled.
"Tch, I think their strength is just average. If I were to go up there, winning would be no problem at all." Song Tianqi crossed his legs and spoke with an air of certainty.
Xue Zhongqi, standing to the side, lightly waved his folding fan, a thoughtful look flashing across his brow. "Actually, the appearance of Grande and Green Sail Vine Military Academy is indeed strange. According to the rules of previous leagues, these two newly established military academies should not be eligible to participate in the league. But what's strange is that the league rules have suddenly changed drastically."
Xu Jintang rested his arm on the back of the chair and tapped his fingers a few times. "It's strange that it appeared so suddenly and with such considerable strength."
Jiang Shiyi, who was usually quiet, looked up and said, "Lin Qing's strength is at most average in their team, but Yan Zitao is actually having a hard time dealing with her."
This statement made everyone realize that the combined strength of the entire Grande Military Academy was likely on par with, or even slightly superior to Yu Wanyao group of five.
Yan Yuting's expression was no longer as relaxed as before; he immediately sat up straight. "Can we win this match?"
Xu Jintang's gaze fell on the arena. "You'll see when you look back."
The clanging sounds of fighting rang out continuously.
The battle in the arena reached its climax.
Yan Zitao went from being temporarily at a disadvantage to now being completely suppressed by Wang Qian.
He braced himself on his knees, panting heavily.
Wang Qian, on the other hand, looked completely calm and composed, and there wasn't a single wrinkle in her clothes.
"Admit defeat, you can't beat me." Wang Qian walked slowly towards me, her voice icy.
Yan Zitao was naturally unwilling to accept defeat. He snorted coldly, straightened his chest again, and clenched his fist. Golden light burst from his fist, and powerful force quickly concentrated, blasting towards Wang Qian.
A new round of fighting began.
This time, Yan Zitao held back and used all his strength.
"Boom--"
Wang Qian was caught off guard and was knocked back a considerable distance.
Yan Zitao's all-out attack forcefully turned the tide.
It was Wang Qian's turn to be beaten and forced to retreat.
Wang Qian, who had been beaten badly, also lost her temper. Her expression changed, and she stopped holding back, unleashing a power several times greater than before.
The initial disadvantage instantly turned into an advantage.
The audience was captivated by the back-and-forth switching between the two.
"Good heavens, they were all hiding some trump cards."
"But looking at it now, it's clear that Grande Military Academy is in the lead. Why are the other five military academies performing so poorly this year?"
"Yeah, while there have been dark horse military academies emerging in previous leagues, I've never seen the top five military academies suppressed like this."
The audience's discussion grew increasingly heated, mainly revolving around the issue of the suppression of the five major military academies.
Before long, the winner on stage was decided.
"Grande Military Academy emerges victorious in this round!"
The result caused an uproar in the audience.
"Leikedasi actually lost? Unbelievable."
"It's alright, it's just one loss, not this whole game."
"That's the First Military Academy, the best in the entire Federation, Leikedasi. No matter what, it's quite shocking that they were defeated by a previously unknown small military academy."
Defeated Yan Zitao hung his head, one hand supporting himself on the ring, his body hunched over, exuding an air of desolation.
"Thank you for your kind offer." Wang Qian walked up to him and extended her hand.
Yan Zitao slowly raised his head, took a deep breath, stood up, and shook hands with her. "Congratulations."
Leikedasi's defeat in their first match caused quite a stir.
Viewers watching the live stream online also started arguing.
[Oh my god, what's wrong with Leikedasi this year? How could they lose like this? I bet they'd win, I hope I don't lose it all.]
[It's hard to say. Yan Zitao's strength is considered quite good within the Leikedasi team, yet he was defeated so easily.]
[Leikedasi has held the championship title for so many years, I never thought they would fall from first place.]
[Damn! I've bet half my fortune on Leikedasi winning the championship! Do they even have the guts?]
The spectators at the league match started arguing, and the stadium became noisy, like a bustling market.
Perhaps influenced by this atmosphere, Song Tianqi and the others also became irritable.
"If I were in their shoes, I wouldn't have given them a chance to be arrogant!" Song Tianqi slammed his fist on the sofa armrest, furious.
Yan Yuting heard a lot of people cursing her brother, and she blushed with anger. "It's just one game, do these viewers really need to make such a fuss?"
Viewers who bet on Leikedasi were hoping to make a fortune, but Leikedasi's inconsistent performance in the qualifiers has naturally drawn criticism from many viewers.
These insults were harsh and unpleasant to hear.
Yan Yuting and the others were naturally upset to hear this.
Xue Zhongqi seemed unaffected, merely waving his folding fan lightly as he gazed at Shi Anyu and the others not far away, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. "It's not that Yan Zitao is weak, but that Lin Qing is too strong."
Xu Jintang turned to Song Tianqi, "If you were to go, could you win?"
"Of course!" Song Tianqi straightened up and puffed out his chest. "I guarantee I can handle it."
Xu Jintang gently stroked his chin, lost in thought.
From the perspective of the entire Federation, Yan Zitao's strength is definitely not weak, but Lin Qing, who suddenly appeared, is several times stronger.
Among their peers, besides the five top military academies, what other organization could cultivate such a genius?
Furthermore, what exactly was the purpose of all these individuals from the Grande Military Academy wearing camouflage masks?
Is the name Lin Qing a real person?
A variety of questions swirled in her mind.
The twenty-minute halftime break ended quickly.
The second round of 1v1 duels between the two military academies has begun.
This time, Leikedasi sent Wei Zixuan.
Grande Military Academy successfully defended their title, and this match will once again be a duel between Wang Qian and the other.
"Wei Zixuan, Peak of the Fourth Tier- level mental strength."
"Lin Qing, mental strength level Fifth Tier."
After introducing themselves, both sides returned to their respective halves of the court.
The referee looked around, then raised his hand and chopped down, issuing the command, "Leikedasi versus Grande Military Academy, the duel begins!"
"Lightning Burst." Wang Qian's emotionless voice rang out.
She slowly opened her arms to the sides, and a sphere wrapped in countless arcs of electricity rose slowly from behind her, accompanied by crackling sounds of electrical charge.
Wei Zixuan glanced warily at the electric arc ball behind Wang Qian.
It was this skill that ultimately knocked Yan Zitao off the stage.
However, unlike Yan Zitao Yan Zitao, who is a melee fighter and prefers a straightforward fighting style, Wang Qian's attacks are difficult for him to dodge.
Wei Zixuan's special ability is quite unique. Most of the time, he has to rely on his agile combat skills to dodge enemy attacks, which has honed his nimble skills.
As the electric ball flew towards him, Wei Zixuan quickly stood up and assumed a forward-charging stance. Before the attack even reached him, he had already run in the opposite direction.
After dodging the attack, he quickly made a summoning gesture as he ran.
After completing a series of gestures, Wei Zixuan stopped, bent his knees slightly, squatted down, and placed his five fingers on the ground.
Using his palm as the axis, his spiritual power rapidly spread outwards, quickly forming a complex circular magic array.
Then, an ancient stone gate nearly three meters high appeared out of thin air.
"Lightning Cross Slash!"
Upon seeing the stone gate emerge, Wang Qian became somewhat anxious.
The best way to deal with Wei Zixuan is to eliminate him before he summons any demonic beasts.
It seems too late now.
The electric arcs, crisscrossing into a cross, flew towards Wei Zixuan.
Wei Zixuan, who was chanting the incantation, was forced to stop the summoning ritual and had to get up and dodge.
Seeing that her summons had been interrupted, Wang Qian launched an even fiercer attack, unleashing one skill after another on Wei Zixuan as if it were free.
Wei Zixuan was being chased so hard that he had no chance to summon the stone gate. Even if he did manage to summon it, the magic circle was interrupted by Wang Qian before it could be fully formed.
"Lin Qing must have specifically studied Wei Zixuan's skills; he's relentlessly pursuing him, determined to prevent Wei Zixuan from completing the summoning."
