Chapter 247

At this point, the captain raised his head high, "We are prepared to fight with all our might in this match against Leikedasi!"

"Yes!" the team members answered in unison.

The atmosphere was more relaxed on Leikedasi's side.

Before Xu Jintang could even make a decision, Song Tianqi volunteered, "Let me handle the first 1v1 match!"

A team of the Yamazaki Military Academy's strength is indeed not a threat to Xu Jintang and his team.

Xu Jintang didn't think much of it and quickly agreed, "Then you can do it."

"However," Xu Jintang changed the subject, smiling as he looked at Song Tianqi, "Dealing with the Yamazaki Military Academy won't be that difficult. So you don't need to reveal too much of your strength in this duel."

Having trained with Xu Jintang for so long, Song Tianqi immediately understood from her simple words: the class monitor wanted him to maintain some mystery in preparation for the upcoming competition.

"Clear!"

After saying that, Song Tianqi rolled up his sleeves and strode towards the number one arena.

At the same time, the team members sent by the Yamazaki Military Academy also headed towards ring number one.

Half a minute later, the two stepped onto opposite sides of the ring.

"Hello, hello, just call me Song Tianqi." Song Tianqi walked to the other side generously, extended his hand, and his face was beaming with a bright and cheerful smile.

The Yamazaki Military Academy member, who had been somewhat nervous, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and returned a smile, "Hello, please go easy on me later."

"You're too kind, I always go easy on him." Song Tianqi patted his shoulder, his straightforwardness putting the other man at ease.

However, after the match officially began...

The Yamazaki Military Academy member had just looked up when he saw Song Tianqi charging towards him from the opposite side, fists clenched.

The spiritual energy gathered in his fist continued to overflow, and the strength of that energy was almost irresistible.

The Yamazaki Military Academy member's eyes widened. "Wait, wait..."

He raised his hand and kept backing away, trying to interrupt Song Tianqi's sprint.

But Song Tianqi, whose fighting spirit was already burning, couldn't hear any sounds from the outside world at this moment.

"Bang--"

With one punch, the Yamazaki Military Academy member flew out of the ring in a parabolic arc, without even a chance to struggle.

The referee in charge was also taken aback, glancing at the time; less than a minute had passed since the start of the match.

After a moment's hesitation, the referee announced the result, "In this 1v1 duel, Leikdasi Military Academy has won."

The audience immediately erupted in cheers. "Leikedasi! Leikedasi!"

The victory came as no surprise.

Song Tianqi raised his hands in response to the audience. During the intermission, he sat down on the ground, crossed his legs, and entered a state of mental cultivation, slowly recovering his mental energy.

Just now, in order to show off, that punch seemed simple, but in fact he gathered nearly a third of his mental energy, just to achieve a one-punch victory.

[Huh? The Leikedasi substitute team is actually pretty good?]

[You don't even look at the strength of their opponents. Apart from their captain, the highest strength of the other members of the Yamazaki Military Academy is only at the Peak Third Tier. If they can't even beat Leikedasi's reserve team, that's truly unacceptable.]

[But being able to defeat an enemy with a single punch means he's definitely not simple-minded. This Song Tianqi should be considered quite strong even within the official team.]

[Let's see how many rounds he can last by himself.]

After the match, the Yamazaki Military Academy players who hadn't yet taken the field looked flustered.

"That's terrifying. He defeated A Yu, the second strongest player on our team, with just one punch. Wouldn't it be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot if we went up against him?"

"As expected, Leikedasi's reserve team is no match for us at all."

"With that kind of strength, I reckon only the captain has the ability to fight them."

The captain of the Yamazaki Military Academy tensed up. "The only option now is for me to go."

"If even our captain can't beat them, then we probably have no chance at all."

"Alright," the captain raised his hand to interrupt them, "I'll go next. If I get defeated in one move too, then we don't need to continue the rest of the matches."

The team members nodded in unison, saying nothing more.

However, one of the most common mistakes made by the Yamazaki Military Academy was that without the guidance of their instructors, everyone panicked when facing Song Tianqi, who could defeat them with a single punch.

In fact, they could have continued to bring other team members onto the field one after another, specifically to wear down Song Tianqi's mental energy.

If we wait until the very end and then let the captain play, we might still have a chance to win a game.

However, being a small military academy, it does offer less guidance and training to its students on a regular basis.

It's normal for them to feel lost at first without guidance from a teacher.

Soon, the twenty-minute halftime break ended.

Song Tianqi took a deep breath, slowly finished his exercise, and stood up from the ground.

At this moment, Captain Yamazaki Military Academy also stepped onto the ring.

He stood opposite Song Tianqi with a reserved expression, nodded to him, and said, "Hello, I'm Wang Tianshuo, the captain of the Yamazaki Military Academy."

"Hello, hello, Song Tianqi from the Leikdasi Military Academy." He stepped forward with a smile and shook hands.

"Both teams, please return to your respective half of the playing area," the referee instructed.

The two quickly stepped back and stood still. Then the referee announced, "The second round of 1v1 duels begins now!"

Although he needs to conceal his strength, Wang Tianshuo is definitely not as easy to deal with as his teammates.

Song Tianqi followed suit, first rushing to the other side and punching him.

After probing the opponent's approximate strength, Song Tianqi temporarily retreated.

"There's hope! The captain survived that punch!"

The members of the Yamazaki Military Academy gasped in surprise.

But before the joy could last long, the situation on stage was instantly reversed.

Song Tianqi no longer held back, unleashing punch after punch at Wang Tianshuo, each punch carrying the mental damage he intended.

Wang Tianshuo didn't dare to respond directly and could only keep running away and dodging on the field.

From that moment on, Wang Tianshuo was at a disadvantage.

"Blazing Flame Eruption!" Wang Tianshuo, who was almost forced to the edge of the arena, unleashed his strongest skill.

Song Tianqi stopped and looked at the flames rushing towards him, raising an eyebrow.

Fire-based superpowers.

With a mere wave of his hand, he extinguished the raging inferno, leaving only a plume of white smoke in the center of the arena.

Upon seeing this, Wang Tianshuo instantly fell into despair, "What happened?"

How could his skills be so easily cracked?

Taking advantage of his emotional breakdown, Song Tianqi pressed his advantage, clenched his fist again, and quickly slammed it down on Wang Tianshuo.

The punch was incredibly fast, and Wang Tianshuo, still in a daze, had no way to dodge it.

The referee swiftly intervened, blocking the attack, and simultaneously announced, "Leikdasi Military Academy wins this match."

Wang Tianshuo had no idea that Song Tianqi's Vermilion Bird Token was a top-tier superpower with the bloodline of a fire-type divine beast, and that superpowers of the same type had an absolute suppressive effect on him.

Moreover, Song Tianqi is slightly superior in terms of mental strength.

[Holy crap? What was that move Song Tianqi used to block Wang Tianshuo just now?]

[I don't understand, it seems like it was all over with a wave of the hand.]

[Leikedasi ' substitutes are pretty good; they seem more capable than we thought.]

On the stage, Song Tianqi stood with his hands on his hips, straightened his back, and looked up at the audience.

The referee also looked at him curiously.

"Captain, are you alright?" The members of the Yamazaki Military Academy swarmed forward and surrounded Wang Tianshuo.

Wang Tianshuo then came to his senses.

He shook his head blankly. "We lost. That guy's moves were so unpredictable; we simply couldn't handle him."

The team members exchanged glances, all showing expressions of "I knew it!"

"Forget it, we didn't have much of a chance to win against Leikedasi anyway," the player resigned.

The others nodded in agreement. "Let's concede. With our captain like this, we have even less chance in the upcoming 3v3 and 5v5 team fights."

A few minutes later, the referee raised his hand and announced, "Yamazaki Military Academy voluntarily concedes defeat. Leikedasi wins this round of the elimination tournament and advances to the next stage!"

The cheers from the audience grew even louder, filling the entire stadium with applause.

"Leikedasi!"

"Leikedasi!"

Federation Intensive Care Unit.

Yu Wanyao and the others lay half-reclined on their respective hospital beds, each holding a freshly picked Bodhi fruit, munching on it while watching the live broadcast of the Military Academy League.

"Tsk tsk, Song Tianqi has stolen all the limelight." Wei Zixuan held his head in his hands, clicking his tongue in amazement.

Yan Zitao shook his head with a smile, "It's mainly about having the ability. If it were me on the field, I couldn't fake it like that."

Their team had previously played training matches against the experimental class, and they lost almost every single one, with very few chances of winning.

This is also the main reason why they were later willing to cover for the experimental class.

"Sigh, the problem is, how long do we have to keep pretending to be sick?" Qin Shuxue sighed, looking up.

Ever since the five of them were ambushed and "seriously injured," they've been lying in the medical room every day, never seeing a ray of sunlight. If this continues, their heads will grow mold.

"Just bear with it, we'll make it to the finals," Mu Guang comforted him with a gentle smile.

After the knockout stage, the audience's doubts about the Leikedasi substitute team lessened, and they began to focus their attention on Song Tianqi.

[Strange, I've inquired through every channel and information network, but I haven't found any news related to Song Tianqi. That shouldn't be the case.]

[The secrecy surrounding his identity can only be explained in one way: Leikedasi has intervened to block all information related to him. But someone who can command such a level of protection from Leikedasi cannot be just an ordinary student.]

[I get it! Could this Song Tianqi be Leikedasi's real hidden trump card?!]
