With a ripping sound.

Li Yang naturally wouldn't use Shadow Moon to directly confront Lin Zhaoxia's attack, but to everyone's surprise, she didn't use "Bark" either!

The smell of blood filled the air. The freshmen didn't quite understand what was happening, but assumed that Lin Zhaoxia had gained the upper hand, and they all shouted out.

The veteran viewers in the live stream got nervous and quickly sent out comments.

"Li Yang gave up using the Bark; she's so clever!"

"If she had used the Bark even once, she would have undoubtedly lost the match, but... she actually noticed!"

Students from other departments, not quite understanding, asked, "What does this mean? How come using it results in a loss?"

"She and Lin Zhaoxia are about the same in terms of cultivation level and Star Skill, so what they're competing on now is the control of Power of Starlight..."

"Li Yang has a higher Spirit Points and slightly better control over the Starlight, but Lin Zhaoxia's Star Weapon completely overwhelms Li Yang's broken sword, so the two are evenly matched..."

"Lin Zhaoxia may seem to only have three Star Skills, but this is actually the way to specialize at a lower level. It won't cause her to waste Power of Starlight, and it will even help her to reach double the 'Frenzy' earlier..."

"While Li Yang's Bark is a pretty good defensive Star Skill, if she uses it against Lin Zhaoxia, she'll be making a fatal mistake! Not only will it waste her Power of Starlight, but it will also slow down her chance to build up her doubled 'Frenzy'!"

The older students are also aware of the effect of this "Frenzy".

Some of them come from prominent families. They may not be as exceptionally talented as those from the class of 301, but their vision and knowledge are absolutely impeccable.

The "Frenzy" effect requires a lot of blood loss. It not only requires putting yourself in a state of extreme difficulty, but also requires the Star Skill to be affected by a large amount of blood, thereby unleashing a strong will to survive, in order to have a chance to use this effect.

The duel between Lin Zhaoxia and Li Yang is actually quite simple.

Whoever can unleash double the "Frenzy" first will win the match.

Burst speed is all about speed.

Whoever gains the speed advantage will be able to generate seven "Severing Space" first, and only when there are enough "Severing Space" will the "Execution" trigger its ultimate effect.

This combo sounds simple, but it's incredibly difficult to execute.

Amazing talent, Risking Life practice, and a cool head... all three are indispensable!

Thanks to her own "Heavenly Fortune," Lin Zhaoxia mastered this Burst-Speed Combo its maximum level in just one month.

What about Li Yang?

No matter how Risking Life she practices, she can never max out her proficiency in Star Skill!

However, Li Yang was incredibly clever. She knew very well that "Bark" was her weakness, and she actually took advantage of it.

Lin Zhaoxia clearly assumed that she would use the Bark to absorb the damage.

But Li Yang insisted on eating it.

She's already started brewing a doubling of "Frenzy"!

Lin Zhaoxia gripped the Lunar Eclipse tightly in her hand. Sensing its master's emotions, the Star Weapon emitted an even more dazzling starlight, which, originally deep blue, now leaned towards a bluish-purple!

Lin Zhaoxia was already looking forward to the showdown with Li Yang, and now she was even more "excited".

This "excitement" is also a key factor triggering the "Frenzy" of doubling down.

Bang bang bang!

The two women were locked in a fierce battle, their movements incredibly fast, so quick that it was almost impossible to blink; it seemed that missing even a second would mean missing a spectacular moment like fireworks exploding.

Someone else, still confused, whispered, "If bleeding triggers the effect, then we just passively take the hits..."

"Who do you take them for? If they let their guard down even slightly, it won't just be a simple matter of losing money; it'll be straight out of the game!"

"Ah... I see. Then controlling the damage won't be easy!"

"Otherwise, if it were that easy, wouldn't everyone be able to achieve that 'Frenzy' doubling effect?"

They were going to Strong Attack- scale attack.

They also need to allow themselves to suffer injuries appropriately.

Most importantly, they need to be fully focused and completely immersed in the competition, getting themselves thoroughly excited.

They only have eyes for each other.

My mind is only focused on the fierce battle.

Only at this moment can the potential of "Frenzy" be unleashed, causing it to burst forth at double the speed.

"Ah!" someone in the audience exclaimed, "The two of them have simultaneously unleashed double the 'Frenzy'!"

The blood mist surged, and the blood on their bodies was instantly dried. Lin Zhaoxia and Li Yang had triggered double Frenzy at the same time.

Who is stronger?

Who's faster?

Everyone held their breath, their eyes glued to the stage.

Even the live stream chat fell silent; no one typed, no one sent gifts, everyone was watching this crucial moment.

The sky was filled with the light of "Severing Space".

They even thought... it was a draw?

Do they both "Execution" each other at the same time?

Even Professor Xu had a vague feeling that the outcome was uncertain. Just as he was about to call a stop, he used his exceptionally high Spirit Points to see the surge of energy in Li Yang's Star Aperture.

This little girl...

Suddenly, the air seemed to freeze.

Lin Zhaoxia unleashed seven "Severing Space" attacks, and just as he was about to trigger "Execution," Li Yang vanished into thin air.

At this crucial moment, she unleashed her Hidden Shadow.

The freshmen on stage were stunned, the seniors in the live broadcast room were stunned, and even the teachers from various departments who had secretly come to watch were taken aback.

This... is a sure way to lose.

They could have easily won to a draw, so why did they chicken out at the last minute?

The effects of Hidden Shadow are clear to everyone.

Once released, all other Star Skill will be forcibly interrupted.

The double Frenzy that Li Yang had painstakingly built up was gone just like that, and the worst part is that she can't generate it again.

Frenzy is very much about the state of mind that Frenzy it.

She could resist using even Bark, so why did she choose to use this Hidden Shadow?

Everyone was lost in thought, but less than 0.1 seconds had passed.

Just then, Li Yang, who had vanished from the spot, suddenly reappeared behind Lin Zhaoxia. The moment she appeared, the Frenzy not only did not disappear, but the Severing Space also did not cease.

She used the Hidden Shadow technique to create different effects!

That 0.1-second period of Hidden Shadow didn't interrupt her Star Skill!

The seven "Severing Space" seemed to have sucked all the air out of the entire venue.

Everyone froze in place, only to hear that faint voice say, "Execution."

Li Yang was the first to be Execution!

Professor Xu immediately exclaimed, "Stop!"

The scene froze on this moment, and everyone in the audience watched silently. One by one, the freshmen opened their mouths involuntarily, staring blankly at Li Yang in mid-air and Lin Zhaoxia, who turned around in astonishment.

"Sharp!"

"That was amazing!"

"Li Yang is awesome!"

"The Agronomy Department is awesome!"

After a brief silence, the arena erupted in enthusiastic applause. Everyone stood up, clapping and cheering loudly. Even the Star Combat Department freshmen forgot that their team had lost the match and clapped their hands until they were red with excitement.

That was a beautiful win!

"Ahhh, Li Yang, come to our Star Combat Department!"

"Calling the Dean! This is absolutely the Heavenly Fortune Bearer of our Star Combat Department!"

The last person to make such a call was a member of the Spirit Department. Although they didn't turn on their Spirit Department, they were also getting excited and were spamming "Golden Rain" like crazy.

Golden Wheat scattered across the screen, and the aloof blood moon that had hung in the corner faded and disappeared.

Professor Xu released his control and couldn't help but sigh softly, saying, "Li Yang wins."

Li Yang and Lin Zhaoxia both collapsed on the arena, having exhausted their last bit of strength. The red mist on their bodies faded, and fresh blood gushed out even more violently.

The two turned their heads and looked at each other.

Lin Zhaoxia smiled and said, "You win."

Li Yang tilted her head and said sincerely, "You look very beautiful when you smile."

This was the first time she had ever seen Lin Zhaoxia smile. She was usually quiet and reserved, and domineering and powerful in battle, but she had never smiled, either in ordinary times or in battle.

At this moment, Lin Zhaoxia, despite her disheveled appearance, her face smeared with blood and sweat, smiled brightly.

Zhao Xia...

At this moment, summer truly seemed to shine into people's hearts.

Lin Zhaoxia was taken aback for a moment, then her smile became even brighter.

At this moment, the medical staff from the Star Support Department hurriedly went on stage, and the person who came to Li Yang's side was still the same older sister from before.

Li Yang couldn't help but ask again, "Teacher, is the second session also booked?"

The medical professional touched her forehead and said, "Don't worry, I'll just give you a free house call."

Li Yang's eyes lit up, but she said, "That would be so embarrassing."

The medical instructor was already using her Star Skill to heal her wounds. Through the warm white Starlight, she fed her a painkiller pill, saying, "If you didn't smile so happily, I might believe you were just embarrassed."

"Cough." Li Yang swallowed a painkiller in one gulp, deciding to stop pretending, and said earnestly, "Teacher, children from poor families mature early; I have to be very careful with my money."

The medical instructor paused, her voice softening further. "You've had a tough time, but this time the Agronomy Department has finally stood up for itself!"

Li Yang chuckled and said, "Absolutely!"

As the saying goes, what is said without malice may be taken to heart by the listener.

Li Yang's banter with others here struck Si Kui's heart like a hammer blow.

She remained above the field the entire time, but no one could spot her.

She watched every single one of Li Yang's battles.

Especially the battles against the Star Combat Department.

The price Li Yang paid to ignite "Frenzy".

That was truly a life-or-death situation, an extreme near-death state, an effect that could only be achieved by entrusting one's body to Star Skill.

Si Kui recalled her teacher's words, "As long as I'm alive, you students can forget about 'Risking Life'!"

Not only during her time at school, but her teachers protected her until their deaths.
