Chapter 271: Chapter 212: Star River University? Instantly Defeated with One Shot (Double-Length)
“Boom!” Xu Gang flew out of the arena like a cannonball.
A golden light flashed across his chest, obviously triggering the protective mechanism.
On the arena, the slender girl in the black dress sheathed her sword, with only the corner of her skirt slightly dirty.
[Lin Qingxue, victory!]
…
“Lin Qingxue! Lin Qingxue!”
“Lin Qingxue is the strongest!”
“Wife is awesome.” The audience erupted once again with deafening cheers.
…
“So strong!”
“Just with a simple sword strike, she blocked Xu Gang’s ultimate technique and knocked him off the arena?”
“Is this the genius from one of the top ten schools? Truly formidable!” All the contestants in the finals looked grim.
Even Li Qi squinted his eyes.
“This woman, her Meteor Sword Technique is very sharp.”
“She should be my biggest opponent.” Li Qi pondered, “And there’s Jiang Ye, I do not know what his strength is like.”
Previously in the Secret Realm, Jiang Ye voluntarily gave up his opportunity, leaving Li Qi somewhat contemptuous.
But contempt is one thing, Li Qi never underestimates any opponent.
…
“Lin Qingxue, even if she doesn’t win the championship, she will surely be in the top three.”
“It all depends on how Li Qi and Jiang Ye perform.” Elder Bai, Mo Zixuan, and many other teachers were discussing.
With their insight, they could better see how profound Lin Qingxue’s strength was.
Suddenly.
“In the second match, Wang Bo entered the arena.” Mo Zixuan’s gaze sharpened.
“This kid Wang Bo, I don’t expect him to win the championship.”
“But ideally, he can defeat Jiang Ye.” Mo Zixuan thought to himself; this was also his wish.
East Sea University has always been overshadowed by Penglai University.
Wang Bo is the best-performing genius student of East Sea University in recent years.
Whether he can raise his voice depends on this Genius Cup.
…
Soon, the second match began.
Wang Bo faced off against a girl from Nanyang University.
In this battle, Wang Bo finished the fight in less than three moves, advancing to the top sixteen.
It was a one-sided match!
…
The third match, Li Qi faced a young man from East Sea University.
No need to say much, it was still a one-sided match.
This battle truly showcased Li Qi’s terrifying strength in front of the other finalists.
Li Qi used just one spear to instantly defeat his opponent.
Without any flamboyance, the simple and plain spear was unstoppable, directly crushing the genius student from East Sea University.
…
“Li Qi’s strength is truly terrifying.”
“He could rank in the upper middle tier at Star River University.”
“Great Success in Earth Tier Middle-Level Cultivation Technique, truly terrifying.” The other contestants all had serious expressions.
…
The remaining matches were all without suspense.
Basically, they were matches of the strong against the weak.
After all, this was just the advancement to the top sixteen.
When it comes to advancing to the top eight, both sides’ strengths will gradually be revealed.
In the blink of an eye, it was the tenth match.
“First round, tenth match, Jiang Ye versus Wang Xuan!”
The next instant, two silhouettes appeared simultaneously on the arena.
“Jiang Ye! Jiang Ye!”
“Penglai’s strongest, Jiang Ye will definitely win!” Students from Penglai University shouted with raised fists.
“Wang Xuan has entered the arena.”
“The weakest among our Star River University’s contestants this time.”
“Can she defeat Jiang Ye?” Several students from Star River University were all gazing at the arena.
Other contestants were also closely watching.
…
On the arena spanning hundreds of meters.
“Jiang Ye, the first person of Penglai University?” Wang Xuan, who had an average appearance but very fair skin, stared at Jiang Ye, “You should be considered the first person of the Twenty-Five Schools Alliance.”
“Defeat you!”
“I will win this match.” Wang Xuan was full of confidence.
This confidence came from Star River University, ranked seventh among the top ten.
It also came from every day and night of her arduous cultivation in the past.
Even more, it came from her own strength!
Star River University students naturally possessed an overlooking attitude towards the Twenty-Five Schools Alliance.
Even when facing Penglai University, it was the same.
“Star River University?” Jiang Ye also stared at the girl opposite him, “I hope you won’t disappoint me.”
He was also facing a student from Star River University directly for the first time.
[The match begins]
As soon as the subtitle dropped.
“Boom!” “Boom!”
The two figures simultaneously transformed into shadows, like two cannonballs, fiercely colliding with each other.
“Where the spear points.”
“Sweep away all enemies.” Jiang Ye swung his spear horizontally.
Clang!!!
In the instant the spear was aimed at Wang Xuan, it unleashed an extremely terrifying power.
Wang Xuan felt an immense force following the long spear, surging towards her, tearing through her defenses like a hot knife through butter.
“Boom~!”
“Whoosh!” A figure flew out of the arena like a kite with a broken string.
[Jiang Ye, victory!]
“Is that all?” Jiang Ye withdrew his spear and stood, frowning slightly.
Before stepping on the arena, the opponent talked a lot, seemingly full of confidence.
He thought the opponent was truly some super expert, requiring a hard-fought battle.
And the result???
“It seems I’ve underestimated my own strength.” Jiang Ye shook his head with a smile.
His gaze glanced at the panel.
A skill effect flashed and disappeared.
[Beauty Path Chasing]
…
“One spear?”
“Defeated in a second??”
“Damn! This young man!”
“So strong?” The audience, numbering over a hundred thousand, erupted in a huge uproar.
Unexpected!
Wang Xuan, one of Star River University’s students.
But the result? Instantly defeated by Jiang Ye from Penglai University!
This was also the first contestant from Star River University to lose.
“Jiang Ye, truly remarkable.” Li Qi and Lin Qingxue watched the arena with varied expressions.
On the other side, Wang Bo’s expression was also heavy.
“Can he be defeated?”
“Absolutely! Easily!” Wang Bo pounded his chest hard, thinking to himself, “Hopefully, I’ll meet Jiang Ye in the next match.”
…
“This guy Jiang Ye.”
“His spear technique should still have a ways to go before reaching Perfection, so why is it so powerful?” Mo Zixuan’s expression grew more serious.
Suddenly.
He seemed to remember something.
“Could it be that this kid received Celestial Tier Upper inheritance at White Dragon University, and it’s a cultivation technique?” Mo Zixuan’s eyes flickered.
Only this point could explain.
Why Jiang Ye’s Star Energy is so much stronger than others.
“I’ve seen Celestial Tier cultivation methods before.” Mo Zixuan mused internally, “But none seemed as exaggerated as Jiang Ye’s performance.”
First Break and Second Break are just the starting points of cultivation.
The difference between Celestial Tier and Earth Tier cultivation techniques at this stage isn’t that significant.
So many people aren’t in a rush to cultivate Celestial Tier techniques early on, as it’s too slow. Instead, they switch to them later when their realm can’t break through, which is also a path.
…
The competition continued.
After Jiang Ye stepped down.
The eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth…
The fifteenth match, Shen Changxi took the stage.
Her Red Moon Swordsmanship amazed the crowd once again, defeating her opponent in just over ten moves.
But compared to Li Qi, Wang Bo, Jiang Ye, she seemed much less impressive.
In contrast, Yun Qing’Er in the sixteenth match left an indelible impression on everyone.
When Yun Qing’Er stepped onto the stage with an iron hammer three times the size of her head, her opponent’s face turned green.
“Boom!”
“Boom boom boom boom boom!”
In the end, Yun Qing’Er took the match with her frantic output of three hundred hammers per second.
Thus.
The top sixteen were decided!
…
“Li Qi, Lin Qingxue, Wang Bo, Jiang Ye, Shen Changxi, Yun Qing’Er, Zhang Nan…”
“Congratulations to the above sixteen contestants for advancing to the top sixteen!”
Chu Jingye’s voice echoed throughout the arena.
“Among the top sixteen, Penglai University alone has four.”
“Truly worthy of being Penglai University, deserving of the Twenty-Five Schools Alliance chief rank.”
“Penglai is still strong!” Countless spectators marveled.
Jiang Ye, Shen Changxi, Yun Qing’Er, Zhang Nan, all four come from Penglai University.
Keep in mind, this is under the pressure from two of the top ten schools.
Having four people make it to the top sixteen is quite an achievement.
…
“Ah, no need to envy my Penglai University, it’s nothing, nothing at all!” Elder Bai smiled while speaking to the surrounding teachers, “Old Mo, don’t look at me like that. Your East Sea University isn’t bad either, managing to get one person into the top sixteen.”
“Damn you.” Mo Zixuan’s face turned green, unable to resist cursing.
Indeed!
East Sea University has only Wang Bo making it to the top sixteen.
Because other contestants from East Sea University either faced Li Qi, or encountered experts like Shen Changxi and Yun Qing’Er.
There’s no denying their luck was terribly bad.
“No worries, don’t you still have Wang Bo?” Elder Bai coaxed with a smile, “He’s a potential champion.”
Mo Zixuan then nodded, feeling better.
His gaze shifted to the arena below.
Wang Bo!
The last hope of East Sea University.
…
Five minutes later, the top sixteen matches officially began.
In mid-air, the extraordinary talented Chu Jingye didn’t waste any words.
“Ladies and gentlemen.”
“The top sixteen matches start now.”
“First match, Jiang Ye versus Wang Bo!”
