Only Colin remained confused.
However, that's not the important thing now.
The fact that two Decoy Beacon overlapped in their deployment areas, and were deployed in the night zone, is unprecedented in the past Freshman League.
For a moment, no one, whether on or off the field, knew whether it would result in a wasteful outcome or a result greater than the sum of its parts.
It depends on the computing power of the Mastermind in processing virtual reality.
The next moment, the Mastermind demonstrated its computational capabilities.
A white wave suddenly surged beneath the three people, and a shocking scene unfolded.
One after another, enormous, jet-black tentacles surged out of the water, making Helian's shield, which resembled a sheer cliff, appear small and fragile in comparison.
The tentacles attacked the three at a terrifying speed. Colin, the slowest of them all, was the first to Rong Feng, the fastest, couldn't teleport the distance of the tentacles and was eliminated immediately.
Mo Lan managed to hide in the shadow space for a while, but she was quickly caught up by the tentacle's shadow...
[ Mystic Radiance player ' Mo Lan ' has been eliminated, ranked 3rd]
"Bang!"
Mo Lan eagerly pushed open the equipment room door and saw Rong Feng and Colin, who had come out not long before, nearby. After all, just like the number of people in the arena, there weren't many players left in the equipment area at this time.
"Who is that person? Is it Keluо?"
Mo Lan stared wide-eyed and asked, only to see the two people opposite her looking at her with complicated expressions.
She turned her gaze to the large screen on site.
Without a doubt, at this point, the only place still active in all the live streams is the final circle.
"Whoosh!"
The attack came from above, nearly severing half of Helian's head.
However, the next moment, Helian's body melted and merged into the ground beneath his feet.
Then the ground stirred, revealing Helian's face, still showing lingering fear:
Show yourself!
If he hadn't used his strongest ability without hesitation, he would have been eliminated by now.
The hearts of the audience members outside the stadium were in their throats, just like Helian's.
Everyone could see that at this crucial moment in the final round, their feelings were like waiting for a foreshadowing to be revealed, anticipating Wen Jing's reappearance on the field.
"Such strong defense, is this your ultimate move...?"
Finally, in the final round, a clear, cool female voice rang out.
With her signature ponytail, black Ocher Soil school uniform, and nonchalant smile, the familiar figure finally appeared under the watchful eyes of the live broadcast audience, seemingly unharmed.
"... Wen Jing?!"
The cracks in the ground that formed Helian's eyes and mouth suddenly widened.
"It's you!"
However, after a brief moment of shock, Helian, having regained his senses, suddenly laughed, "Your talent is invisibility... but it is precisely because your talent is invisibility that I am the champion."
"Come and attack me!"
Helian uttered those 'provoking' words not only because there was no longer any need to hide, but also because of his innate talent; he had been patient and low-key throughout the match and now needed an outlet for his emotions.
"My current [ Leyline Barrier ] state has completely integrated with the continent's defenses, making it Unbreakable Shield for you."
"Unless your combat skills are so powerful that you can destroy the continent beneath your feet."
"Otherwise, we'll hold out until the final rounds. Even if we enter the night zone, I'll definitely be the last one eliminated!"
Helian spoke confidently, because Wen Jing's talent was strong invisibility, which meant she wouldn't have the ability to change the nature of the terrain like other contestants.
As for Luosi and Qin Yongge, who could counter his move, they had already been eliminated earlier.
The audience members watching the two locked in a stalemate were momentarily stunned.
"Could it be that Helian really has some hidden agenda? Could it be that Wen Jing handed the championship to the opponent at the last minute?"
Moreover, Helian's words make a lot of sense. Apart from invisibility, Wen Jing's attacks still rely on combat skills, but she can use combat skills to deal super damage and kill her opponents.
But destroy an entire continent? Absolutely impossible. That's something only a high-level fully Awakened could do. Not to mention anything else, there wouldn't be enough energy.
"What a load of rubbish!"
Only a few astute professional Analysis simply gave up.
In the early stages, he collaborated with the students of Ocher Soil to gather intelligence. In the middle stages, he faked his death and went into hiding to attack experts everywhere. Wen Jing can be said to be the person who knows the most about the competition situation besides the live broadcast Analysis.
In terms of comprehensiveness, no Analysis who specializes in Analysis a single player can match her.
Wen Jing kept Helian alive not because Helian was difficult to deal with, but because he was the easiest to deal with.
Although Helian is low-key and patient, he doesn't attack others, but others will still want to test him. Whenever he encounters other contestants, he will challenge them to a duel, letting them know that he is a tough nut to crack and causing them to back down.
This tough nut to Qin Yongge the only one they dare not approach.
The Unbreakable Shield is not without a solution.
Therefore, if Wen Jing wanted to counter Helian, he wouldn't have eliminated Qin Yongge at all. Leaving him in the arena would have disrupted the situation just the same.
"So you really are all about defense..."
Sure enough, Wen Jing up.
All the audience members and Helian himself were taken aback. It seemed that Wen Jing had been waiting for Helian's hidden trump card.
Some professionals and the previously eliminated contestants couldn't help but gasp.
At this moment, they realized that what Wen Jing truly terrifying was that he was so strong, yet so stable!
Even now that they have complete control of the situation, they still haven't let their guard down.
So much so that some of her staff couldn't help but suspect that she had been intentionally or unintentionally planning the tactics and strategies for the Freshman League since the grade ranking competition three months ago.
However, none of this is known.
Let's end it here.
Wen Jing smile, he uttered a simple concluding remark.
The next moment, an invisible Mental Shock swept across the area, followed by a flash of white light indicating the elimination of a contestant. The cracks in the ground still held Helian's surprised expression.
The number of players in the Freshman League has decreased from 2 to 1.
The match is over.
Chapter 105
With the final two rankings determined, the Freshman League ended prematurely.
Huge upset! Absolutely huge upset!
Almost all the major betting games that locked in odds before the match have already gone bust; only the smaller games that started in the mid-to-late stages have left people with time to bet on Wen Jing.
Moreover, this match is one of the earliest to end in the history of the Freshman League.
In previous years, the competition would typically continue until the final shrinking of the playoffs, with many champions and runners-up determined based on survival time during this final shrinking process.
Wen Jing it's not impossible for someone to achieve a crushing victory over the second-place finisher, it's extremely rare.
Combined with her F-level potential, she becomes even more legendary.
A brief silence fell over the stadium the moment the match ended, followed by an unprecedented roar of cheers.
"It's like a dream! Wait, am I dreaming?!"
Yu Yang shouted with a dreamlike expression.
"Aaaaaah!" Wan Ling screamed from the side and kindly slapped him.
Caught off guard Yu Yang was stunned for a moment before finally reacting and letting out a scream.
"Champions! We've won the championship!!"
They weren't the only ones screaming; all the students at the Red Earth Academy, regardless of their backgrounds—whether commoners or tycoons, whether they were on good terms or not—gathered together excitedly and danced uncontrollably.
With the Awakened's extraordinary lung capacity, the sound waves erupted like a tsunami, sweeping across the entire venue.
Leaving aside the official league, even in the Freshman League, no one from the Red Earth Academy has ever won the championship.
This is the first time in history!
Even though Wen Jing led everyone to unite and delay the eliminations during the competition, thus improving everyone's chances, no one ever had any hope that Ocher Soil could win the championship.
Everyone was hoping to make it into the top 1,000.
On the second day, when Wen Jing fought Luosi and they both perished, they felt both regret and contentment.
It wasn't until they realized Wen Jing had faked his death that the students of Ocher Soil, stunned and anxious, began to anticipate the development of the competition, gradually discovering that their previous understanding of Wen Jing had been far too conservative...
As the discussion progressed, the most heated exchanges were mainly among other viewers.
The students at the Ocher Soil silently clenched their fists, a tension born of watching hope grow stronger while fearing it might burst like a balloon at any moment.
Only at the very last moment, only after witnessing Helian vanish into light, did that string snap.
Years of being relegated to the background, the repression of never being taken seriously by the other two courts... were finally released at this moment.
The next moment, the indicator light in the last equipment room lit up, and the person pushed the door open and came out. The people of Ocher Soil shouted her name frantically.
" Wen Jing! Wen Jing!!"
One of the Mystic Radiance students rubbed his ear in annoyance. "Is it really that big of a deal? Like you've never seen anything like it before."
He had barely opened his mouth to complain when he was immediately surrounded and attacked by the nearby students from Ocher Soil.
What? Are you jealous?
"No matter how sour it is, this year's champion won't be from Mystic Radiance!"
When had Mystic Radiance ever received such treatment? He glared at them, only to find that the students from Ocher Soil who had previously lowered their heads by half when they saw his school uniform were now staring back fearlessly. Suddenly, he felt more confident.
These gazes were becoming increasingly frequent, and even though he knew they were all from low-level Awakened, he still felt inexplicably flustered.
At this moment, many students from Mystic Radiance and Azure Jade realized for the first time that the largest group in the entire venue was actually students from the Red Earth Academy.
