Chapter 251

From the very beginning, Song Duoduo went all out and quickly gained the upper hand.

But Su Pengtian calm and methodically dealt with each of her moves.

Watching from the sidelines, Xu Jintang took a deep drag of his chocolate bar and calmly said, "Duoduo is going to lose this match."

"Yes, she expended too much energy in the first two matches, so she'll definitely have a tough time against Su Pengtian," Song Tianqi nodded in agreement.

Less than half a minute after the two finished speaking, Su Pengtian suddenly unleashed his full power and began a fierce attack.

Song Duoduo was beaten and forced to retreat all the way to the edge of the ring.

"Get down here!" Su Pengtian leaped into the air, clenched his fist, gathered his strength, and slammed it down on Song Duoduo.

With no chance to resist, Song Duoduo was knocked off the stage. Upon landing, her chest trembled violently, and she spat out a mouthful of blood.

The referee, mid-air, glanced coldly at Su Pengtian and issued a warning. "When the opposing player is unable to resist, you must reduce your force as much as possible and not endanger their life."

Su Pengtian didn't take it seriously at all, casually shrugging, "Referee, in that situation just now, I certainly couldn't be sure if I could win, so naturally I had to go all out. Otherwise, if I lost the match because I held back, wouldn't that be a loss?"

The referee pursed his lips and said nothing more, but after this incident, his impression of Su Pengtian naturally worsened considerably.

"In this round, Giant Wave Military Academy emerges victorious."

After announcing the result, the referee glanced at Su Pengtian a couple more times. Seeing that he had no further intention of making a move, he turned and left the ring.

"Duoduo!" Wu Hanhai, the captain of the Red Ridge Military Academy, rushed over immediately and helped Song Duoduo up. "How are you?"

Song Duoduo's face turned pale, but she still insisted on shaking her head, "It's nothing, just a minor injury."

Soon, the medical staff arrived at the scene.

The healing light shone on Song Duoduo, and her internal injuries were quickly relieved, and her complexion gradually regained its rosy hue.

Wu Hanhai breathed a sigh of relief and patted Song Duoduo on the shoulder, "You can rest assured and leave the rest of the competition to us."

Halftime ended quickly.

Wu Hanhai took a deep breath, his face stern, and walked step by step onto the arena.

Su Pengtian to stop his practice, quickly stood up, and disdainfully raised his chin, glancing at Wu Hanhai opposite him.

Wu Hanhai composed himself and stated his name: "Wu Hanhai, Red Ridge Military Academy, Mental Strength Level Fourth Tier."

"Finally, an opponent I can use my skills against." Su Pengtian cracked his knuckles, assuming a fighting stance. "Su Pengtian, Giant Wave Military Academy, Mental Strength Level Fourth Tier!"

After the referee announced the start of the match, the two quickly engaged in a fierce battle.

They exchanged blows, one after another, the aftershocks of their attacks spreading outwards, causing the protective shield of the ring to vibrate and hum.

Xu Jintang, who was watching from the audience, put down the Qiaole card in his hand and frowned slightly.

Noticing the change in her expression, Song Tianqi immediately leaned closer, "What's going on?"

"It looks like it will be difficult for the Red Ridge Military Academy to win this match."

Song Tianqi turned to look at the arena.

After those few rounds of fighting, Wu Hanhai has already started to lose ground.

Su Pengtian is getting stronger and stronger as he plays, and his momentum is strong.

Although both are at the Fourth Tier, there is a clear difference in the depth of their strength.

As Xu Jintang had predicted, Wu Hanhai of the Red Ridge Military Academy was knocked off the stage in less than ten minutes.

Immediately afterwards, the two Red Ridge Military Academy members who came on next were also defeated.

Su Pengtian was extremely ruthless towards them; the two at the back were almost crippled, their injuries rendering them unable to participate in the second major match.

"Su Pengtian! It's just a match, how could you be so ruthless!" Song Duoduo pointed at Su Pengtian and cursed him.

The other members of the Red Ridge Military Academy also had somber expressions, and they all seemed to be holding back their anger.

Su Pengtian not only refused to admit his mistake, but became even more arrogant, saying, "You're less skilled than me, yet you have the nerve to yell here."

The referee also disliked Su Pengtian and reprimanded him, "At such a young age, how can you be so vicious? What kind of upbringing did your teachers give you!"

The referee was a Seventh Tier expert, so Su Pengtian naturally dared not disobey him and finally restrained himself a little, not saying anything more.

In the second match, two Red Ridge Military Academy members were seriously injured and unable to continue, so they had to concede defeat.

Giant Wave Military Academy won easily and advanced to the next round of the competition.

"Squad leader, that captain from the Giant Wave Military Academy is a bit of a pain in the neck." Song Tianqi rubbed his fist, a fighting spirit gleaming in his eyes.

The match is over, there's nothing more to see. Xu Jintang withdrew his gaze, stood up, and tossed aside the empty bottle of Choco Card in his hand, his tone tinged with coldness, "If we run into them again later, you can fight them however you want."

Song Tianqi was taken aback at first, then realized what he meant and immediately chuckled, "Got it, beat them to death as long as they don't die."

The first two days of elimination rounds quickly came to an end, and the elimination rounds for Division 3 began.

Early that morning, fans of various teams lined up at the entrance of the venue.

The roadsides were completely occupied by fans. The most eye-catching section was the blue square – the fan support area for the Leikdasi Military Academy.

"Today we're facing Green Sail Vine Military Academy. Everyone must shout our slogans and send our warmest support and strength to the Leikedasi team members!"

"Clear!"

"Leikedasi will win!"

"Ticket checking and entry have begun, everyone hurry and grab a seat!"

Inside the team's rest area at this moment.

Xu Jintang and his group were already waiting.

The five members of the Green Sail Vine Military Academy Team on the other side had also arrived at the scene long ago.

Now that we've entered the knockout stage, the battles are even more intense. To ensure the best viewing experience for the audience, each knockout match will be held one by one.

Especially the match between Leikedasi and Green Sail Vine Military Academy, the official tournament organizers started promoting it across the internet two days in advance.

There is one hour left before the knockout stage officially begins.

The stands were full, and cheers and shouts echoed throughout the venue.

In the exclusive VIP seating area.

Jing Hongyi and several other leaders were also discussing the upcoming match.

"Green Sail Vine Military Academy is making quite a splash this year."

"I've heard a lot of rumors. Some say that the Green Sail Vine Military Academy is actually a secret team trained by the forces behind the five major military academies. I don't know how credible that is."

"You can just listen to these rumors and forget about them, but you actually believed them?"

The resources required to cultivate a team like Green Sail Vine Military Academy are absolutely enormous. The five major military academies have already devoted all their energy to training their current participating teams; where would they find the extra energy to train another one?

Jing Hongyi did not participate in their discussion, but silently watched the audience below the stage, waiting for the competition to begin.

On the other side are the positions of the principals of the five major military academies.

The group's eyes were fixed on the Green Sail Vine Military Academy Team's rest area, not looking away for a moment.

"Old Miao, it seems we need to let you test the waters first." The principal of the Xihe Alliance Military Academy looked over with a smile.

Miao Mingzhi smiled slightly, "There's no such thing as a trial run. In the elimination rounds, everyone is giving it their all."

The relationship between the five military academies is both adversarial and friendly.

If something goes wrong, the five of them will definitely stand together against outsiders. But normally, their competitive spirit and desire to outdo each other remain undiminished.

Especially at times like this, the other four principals would definitely be watching with a "let's see what happens" attitude.

If Leikedasi wins, that's fine; but if he loses, those four will probably laugh at him mercilessly.

"What are you hiding from us? Everyone knows your Leikedasi reserve team is the real ace," Clifford's principal joked with a laugh.

Miao Mingzhi smiled but didn't reply.

The waiting time passed quickly, and it was time for the two military academies to take the stage.

"Now, please have both teams come to the stage to prepare for the draw of the first match format," the referee announced.

Chapter 251

All eyes were on the two teams.

Xu Jintang stood at the head of the line, opposite Bing Rujiao, the captain of the Green Sail Vine Military Academy.

The referee stood between the two, raised his hand and waved towards the light screen behind him, "Random selection begins now."

Countdown begins.

Three seconds later, the text on the screen froze.

Battle Format: 1v1 gauntlet

"Leikdasi Military Academy versus Green Sail Vine Military Academy. The first match will be a 1v1 gauntlet. You have twenty minutes to prepare. Both teams, please begin troop deployment," the referee announced.

"Yufei, you stay." Bing Rujiao glanced indifferently at An Yufei on her left.

An Yufei wore two braids and a gorgeous tulle dress, her face looking slightly youthful.

Upon hearing her name called, she blankly raised her head, then snapped out of it, and emphatically said, "Okay!"

Xu Jintang glanced at Song Tianqi and nodded to him, "You come here."

"Leave it to me!" Song Tianqi immediately patted the muscles on his arms.

As everyone else left the stage, only Song Tianqi and An Yufei remained.

Over the past three years of training, Song Tianqi has grown from a chubby little boy into a tall and strong man.

Standing in front of the petite An Yufei, he gave off the feeling of an adult bullying a child.

"Song Tianqi from the Leikdasi Military Academy, Peak of the Fourth Tier mental strength." Song Tianqi stepped forward and introduced himself.

An Yufei then spoke up, "An Yufei Green Sail Vine Military Academy, mental strength level Fifth Tier."

Song Tianqi was somewhat surprised.

Unexpectedly, the petite and adorable An Yufei is actually a Fifth Tier cultivator.

Realizing that he couldn't underestimate the girl in front of him, Song Tianqi became a little more serious.

The twenty-minute wait felt exceptionally long.

The spectators waiting for the match to begin began to whisper among themselves:

"I estimate that Green Sail Vine has a better chance of winning the first match, after all, it's a Fifth Tier opponent, and its mental strength level is a move higher."
