Chapter 287: Hidden (1)

With Lei Wanjun’s defeat, the Banners team opposite him stirred slightly, as if they were surprised, but quickly calmed down.

Under the gazes of the entire audience, the competition continued and the third round quickly ended.

Only Zhou Jing and the last Class S core member of the Crowns had advanced. The other contestants had been completely wiped out, and the Banners had the obvious advantage. There were still a few people left. Other than Li Xiaoyin, the trump card, they still had two other Class S.

In the fourth round, to be safe, they let Li Xiaoyin eat the only Class S that the Crown had left and let the other Class S core member face Zhou Jing, not giving the Crowns a chance to turn the tables.

Although Zhou Jing had won against his opponent and advanced, the results of this round were one win and one loss. The difference in points remained unchanged, and the Crowns still had lower points than the Banners.

Only Zhou Jing had entered the fifth round. The Crown faculty’s strategic intention to suppress Banner faculty by 9 points in the arena was basically impossible to achieve.

“Sigh, the chances of winning are slim.”

Deng Yunjie sighed and shook his head.

He was already a fourth-year student and was used to losing to Banners.

However, this was the first time the new students had participated. Seeing that there was no hope of winning as well, they were all quite depressed.

Seeing this, Li Yun clapped his hands and said loudly, “Everyone, cheer up. The competition is not over yet. There’s still one last match in the arena.”

When everyone heard this, they subconsciously looked at Zhou Jing.

In the past three days, Zhou Jing had performed valiantly in the arena. Until now, he had not lost a single match. He had already established his position as the backbone of the team. The members of the Crown Team trusted him very much.

However, there was only the last match of the fifth round left. Even if he won, he could only get five points back. It was far from enough to turn the tables. The outcome was difficult to change.

Moreover, the powerful image that Li Xiaoyin had established with her overwhelming KO was already deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It was still unknown if they could win.

Deng Yunjie did not comfort everyone. He only patted Zhou Jing’s shoulder and nodded.

“It’s the last match. No matter the outcome, just do your best.”

“I’m aware.”

Zhou Jing took a deep breath and walked onto the arena.

On the opposite side, Li Xiaoyin went on stage at the same time. She smiled happily.

“Brother, it’s finally our turn.”

Zhou Jing couldn’t help but laugh in response,

“Speaking of which, this is the first time we’ve sparred seriously since we awakened.”

“That’s right, so don’t go easy. This is a rare opportunity. We have to fight to our hearts’ content this time.”

Li Xiaoyin grinned and stretched, eager to try.

“There’s still a long way to go. We have many opportunities to fight… Let’s treat today as a start.”

After Zhou Jing finished speaking, he stopped smiling and slowly drew his long saber.

Seeing this, Li Xiaoyin stopped smiling and became serious.

They were all childhood friends who had grown up together. They had known each other for many years and had a deep relationship. Now that they had awakened their superpowers and changed their lives, this was the first time they were serious against each other.

This time, the arena was still flat.

The two of them looked at each other from afar.

Everyone stared at the two of them in the arena, not even daring to blink.

In the eyes of the tens of thousands of audience, the outcome of the battle between the Crowns and Banners was no longer in suspense. The only thing that made everyone curious was if anyone could break Li Xiaoyin’s undefeated record.

“Speaking of which, Crown’s Zhou Jing has never lost a match as well.”

“Although the outcome of the competition is decided, this is a battle between two winners. I wonder who can end the other party.”

Everyone discussed softly with curious expressions.

Under the gazes of everyone, the countdown on the big screen finally reached zero.

Whoosh!

Zhou Jing’s eyes flashed with lightning as he erupted without hesitation. He moved at high speed on the stage and rushed towards Li Xiaoyin.

Li Xiaoyin’s eyes darted around as she chased after Zhou Jing’s blurry figure. She punched out with both fists, and a large-scale shock wave spread out.

Boom!!!

The air rolled, and a faint white shock wave spread along the ground, directly enveloping Zhou Jing.

Zhou Jing’s eyes narrowed as he faced the attack with his saber. He tensed his muscles and lowered his head to withstand the shock wave.

Peng!

In the next moment, he felt as if he had been hit by a tsunami on the head, and his breathing stalled.

The blade trembled at a high frequency, and all the bones in his body groaned under the pressure. The surging invisible force was like a storm, tearing his clothes apart.

He resisted with all his might, his veins bulging. He forcefully stomped down with his legs, stabbing down like roots, but his body was still forcefully pushed back by the shock wave.

After enduring the shock wave, Zhou Jing’s feet had already sunk deep into the ground, leaving two long furrows as he was pushed back.

“What a frightening power…”

His entire body ached, as if he had been struck by a heavy blunt attack. Zhou Jing’s heart sank.

This was the first time he had personally experienced Li Xiaoyin’s shock wave. Only then did he have a personal understanding of the strength of this superpower.

Even with his physique strengthened by four mutant enhancements, it was not enough for him to take a blow head on. He was placed at a complete disadvantage in the fight, only able to ensure that his body was not sent flying.

“Again!” Li Xiaoyin did not give Zhou Jing a chance to stop and think. She punched out with both fists, and shock waves erupted one after another.

Zhou Jing hurriedly ran, dodging and blocking as he tried his best to approach his opponent.

However, in the face of wave after wave of shock waves, Zhou Jing found it difficult to even approach Li Xiaoyin, as if he was struggling in a storm.

“A large-scale attack has weakened my speed advantage, making it impossible for me to use my close combat skills. It’s very effective against me, and only by getting close can I have a chance of winning…”

The situation was quite bad. Zhou Jing gritted his teeth and could only lower his head to reduce his surface area in order to get closer.

However, at this moment, the large-scale shock waves suddenly stopped.

Li Xiaoyin retracted her fist and hooked her finger,

“If we continue fighting like this, you won’t be able to use your skills at all. Come on, Jingjing, I’ll give you a chance to get close to me.”

“…I really want to stab you now.”
