Chapter 255

"Green Sail Vine Military Academy wins this round," the referee announced.

The darkness that had enveloped the entire arena gradually receded, revealing Liao Ruyi standing on the arena.

He still looked sickly, his skin so white it glowed, which was somewhat eerie.

"Aaaaaah! Green Sail Vine! Green Sail Vine!"

"Wow, amazing! He actually defeated Jiang Shiyi was at the Sixth Tier, with only the strength of Fifth Tier cultivator."

The entire arena was in an uproar; after all, with such a huge disparity in strength, no one had expected this outcome.

Jiang Shiyi was the first to be knocked off the stage, frowned deeply, probably still not understanding how she had been knocked off.

At this moment, Liao Ruyi, who had been holding on, was completely exhausted and collapsed in the team's rest area after stepping off the stage.

This scene was captured by a satellite camera nearby.

[Oh my god, what's Liao Ruyi with Liao Ruyi? Is she exhausted?]

[I guess so. Using that method on him must have taken a toll on him a lot; he's probably reached his limit.]

[Sigh, what about the team battles later? If Liao Ruyi is completely exhausted, she probably won't be able to play for a while.]

Jiang Shiyi also saw this scene. She pursed her lips, turned around and went back to the Leikedasi rest area.

"Sister Shiyi, how did you get removed from the stage?" Song Tianqi immediately leaned over to ask.

Jiang Shiyi shook her head. "I don't know."

Xu Jintang stroked his chin. "Liao Ruyi's superpower should be related to shadows, but the skill that just made the whole arena go dark probably can't be used frequently, and it will most likely have strong side effects on him, so he probably won't be able to play in the later matches."

Jiang Shiyi nodded, "Yes, before he stepped off the stage, I sensed that his spiritual energy was rapidly decreasing after he used that move."

"That makes things easier." Song Tianqi clapped his hands. "They're outnumbered in the subsequent team battle, so we'll have the advantage no matter what."

Xu Jintang glanced at the Green Sail Vine team's rest area opposite them, "I'll play in the next match."

Yan Yuting was taken aback. "Don't you need me to go up and help you wear down the enemy first?"

"No need. Bing Rujiao is too strong. You can't afford to expend too much energy, and you'll easily be worn down by her." Xu Jintang stretched out his arms and relaxed. "Leave it to me."

They naturally had complete confidence in Xu Jintang.

Yan Yuting quickly nodded, "Okay."

Perhaps because the audience was so eager for Bing Rujiao's next appearance, this intermission seemed exceptionally long.

The referee started calling for players until the last minute ended.

Xu Jintang stood up, stretched, and walked onto the ring.

"Bing Rujiao Green Sail Vine Military Academy, Peak Fifth Tier- level mental strength." Bing Rujiao stood expressionless opposite her.

Xu Jintang loosened his collar and cleared his throat. "Xu Jintang from the Leikdasi Military Academy, Sixth Tier mental strength."

The previously quiet scene was once again filled with heated discussion.

"Another Sixth Tier! Leikedasi has been hiding his true strength."

"Who said the Leikedasi reserve team was weak? They're even more monstrous than the regular team!"

"Sigh, I already guessed it. So Xu Jintang is definitely just Foodie; it's not surprising that he has this kind of ability."

"So, Xu Jintang really has three superpowers? That's way too exaggerated."

Chapter 255

Bing Rujiao remained expressionless, but her gaze towards Xu Jintang held a hint of caution.

They had already guessed Xu Jintang's strength, so the fact that she was at the Sixth Tier didn't surprise her too much.

The referee glanced at Xu Jintang a couple more times, his eyes filled with both envy and surprise.

Sixth Tier at less than twenty years old—such talent is truly unparalleled.

"Green Sail Vine Military Academy versus Leikdasi Military Academy, this round of 1v1 duel begins now!"

Xu Jintang's expression immediately changed. With a wave of her hand, a huge glacier slowly rose from behind her, causing the surrounding air temperature to plummet and covering the ground with a thin layer of frost.

Bing Rujiao didn't hold back either, immediately summoning the Golden-Plumed Phoenix.

Golden light instantly illuminated the entire area, making the frost on the ground reflect light.

"Phoenix Rain." Bing Rujiao spread her arms at her sides, and golden phoenix feathers appeared all around her, each feather shimmering with golden light and containing immense energy.

Xu Jintang didn't give her much time. After realizing that the other party had made a move, he quickly rushed towards the other side.

The ground beneath our feet instantly froze.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Jintang appeared in front of Bing Rujiao.

--Ice Blade Storm.

A massive amount of spiritual energy gathered, and a storm composed of countless ice blades instantly took shape.

An Ice Blade Storm appeared in each of the four corners of the sky, then simultaneously attacked Bing Rujiao in the center.

Xu Jintang didn't stop there. He gathered his spiritual energy together with both hands, and delicate Ice Lotus appeared in his palms.

Under Bing Rujiao's control, the golden feathers precisely struck the four Ice Blade Storm.

Golden light penetrated its interior, instantly neutralizing the fierce storm.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Jintang's Ice Lotus followed.

Bing Rujiao expression, and the extra golden feathers behind her quickly rushed towards the Ice Lotus.

Jin Yu immediately burrowed into the Ice Lotus, and golden light flashed. A few seconds later, it exploded, and the Ice Lotus turned into all sorts of debris, scattering all over the ground.

One move after another, the exchange between the two was so intense that a single mistake could result in elimination.

The referee in mid-air kept his eyes fixed on the two of them, not looking away for a moment, as if afraid of missing something.

"The Phoenix Cry!"

A gigantic phoenix phantom appeared behind Bing Rujiao, its golden wings slowly unfurling. It raised its head and let out a loud cry.

The cries echoed throughout the entire area.

The shockwave carrying the power of mental attack quickly reached Xu Jintang's ears.

Her expression remained unchanged, completely unaffected, as she continued her charge towards Bing Rujiao's location.

"What was that?" The Thunder Dragon King, startled awake, asked in bewilderment. Realizing it was a mental attack from the Golden-Plumed Phoenix, he flicked his tail and yelled, "Get out!"

If a real Golden-Plumed Phoenix appeared before him, he might be a little wary, but a sonic attack created by a tiny afterimage dared to be so arrogant, so naturally he wouldn't tolerate it.

"Strange." Bing Rujiao frowned and cautiously looked Xu Jintang up and down.

Her mental attacks can ignore physical defenses and reach directly into a person's mental consciousness; few can defend against them. So how come they have no effect on Xu Jintang at all?

Xu Jintang's Road of Frost attacked from the opposite side.

Bing Rujiao had no time to think it through and had to intervene again.

[This Bing Rujiao no ordinary person. Despite being a level below Xu Jintang in mental strength, she can still hold her own.]

[Bing Rujiao's special ability is that of Golden-Plumed Phoenix with the bloodline of a divine beast; she cannot be viewed with the same attitude as an ordinary person.]

So, who do you think is more likely to win this match?

The audience erupted into another argument.

Since Xu Jintang and Xu Jintang were indeed evenly matched, their exchanges were basically even, with neither gaining much advantage.

The battle intensified.

After Bing Rujiao was unable to gain the upper hand, she finally activated the divine beast bloodline buff.

"Phoenix Rain!"

In its enhanced state, Phoenix Rain covers a wider attack range and contains stronger spiritual energy.

After noticing the unusual attack, Xu Jintang became even more cautious.

She clasped her hands together and quickly retreated.

The glacier spread outwards from her feet, forming a solid ice wall in just a few seconds. The ice wall, layer upon layer, surrounded her in the center, forming a protective barrier.

Bing Rujiao's body soared into the air, a smile playing on her lips as she looked expressionless.

A massive amount of spiritual energy rapidly surged into the dense golden feathers behind him.

The surrounding audience sensed that this might be a major showdown, and they all stared intently at the scene on the stage, barely daring to breathe.

The glacier surrounding Xu Jintang had completely enveloped her.

From Bing Rujiao's perspective, she was nowhere to be seen.

The phoenix feathers, gleaming with golden light, are poised to take flight.

The energy it contains carries an aura of extreme destruction.

"Stop holding back, I know you haven't gone all out yet," Bing Rujiao said calmly.

Xu Jintang did not respond, but continued to remain silently hidden inside the glacier.

Seeing that she did not make a move, Bing Rujiao did not wait any longer. She immediately activated her spiritual power, and the golden feathers floating behind her shone brightly, attacking Xu Jintang who was hiding inside the glacier.

Inside the glacier at this moment.

Xu Jintang slowly raised his hand, his index and middle fingers extended, and silently chanted, "Frost Blast."

A tremendous amount of spiritual energy rapidly flowed from her palm into the surrounding glaciers.

Two seconds later, golden feathers flew around the glacier like sharp arrows.

Bing Rujiao made a hand gesture, "Break!"

The golden feather, which had been hovering near the glacier, suddenly plummeted and pierced the glacier.

The glacier, which had been quiet until now, suddenly trembled slightly.

The tremor then intensified, gradually spreading until the entire arena was shaking.

Bing Rujiao sensed something was wrong and immediately retreated.

A massive energy surge erupted from within the glacier, blasting it apart in just two seconds, and golden feathers were ejected one after another.

The aftershock of the explosion struck Bing Rujiao precisely, instantly turning her face pale as her body was sent flying like a cannonball.

"Holy crap! What kind of skill effect is that? Is it that strong?"

"This is the strength of Sixth Tier being. Even those with divine beast bloodlines can't withstand it."

"It seems Bing Rujiao is going to lose."

The audience, who had been holding their breath, finally couldn't help but start discussing it heatedly.
