Chapter 280

Perhaps because he had held it in too long, Han Shan's voice was slightly excited.

And when his voice echoed through the entire stadium, the spectators who had previously doubted Jin University's lineup instantly erupted.

"An SS-rank combat skill that reduces and shares damage? That's that powerful?"

"One shares damage, one heals—it turns out the dual-support role's purpose is here!"

"No wonder they didn't bring in the enhancement specialists—they're planning to have the ranged psychics huddle under the shields and wear down the Demon University team with combat skills alone!"

"No wonder Jin University is a top-tier school—they actually have tactics like this!"

"......"

Among the three top-tier universities, Jin University was undoubtedly the most low-key.

But this move instantly drew all spectators' attention to the Jin University team.

The live-stream chat on every official broadcast channel was uniformly filled with shock and amazement.

"Life Sharing? Han Shan from Jin University actually mastered this combat skill? Now Demon University's in real trouble."

In the arena seating, many instructors also felt a wave of awe.

Life Sharing is an SS-rank combat skill every support-type psychic must learn!

On the frontlines, it can even turn the tide of battle, deciding victory or defeat!!

Of course,

as an SS-rank combat skill, Life Sharing's learning difficulty is also absurdly high.

Even some fifth- and sixth-rank support-type psychics cannot master it.

The fact that Han Shan, merely a mid-level fourth-rank psychic, has mastered it already proves his astonishing potential!

And with just this one Life Sharing technique, regardless of Jin University's future results,

after the league ends, Han Shan will definitely be aggressively courted by all factions!

In contrast,

this team match, Demon University is going to have a hard time.

Based on the strength they've shown so far, their win probability might be under twenty percent...

"Dean Jiang's move is nothing short of a masterstroke."

"Impressive, truly impressive."

As the instructors chatted, they couldn't help but praise Jiang Mo, Jin University's vice principal.

He doesn't speak until he speaks—and then he astonishes all.

Jin University's move has clearly revealed the immense depth of a top-tier university.

"Not at all—these tactics were arranged entirely by the students ourselves; we didn't interfere much."

No one dislikes flattery, especially when Jin University had hidden this tactic for so long.

Facing the praise around him, Vice Principal Jiang Mo of Jin University outwardly appeared extremely humble.

But the smile on his lips clearly revealed his deep satisfaction.

"'Life Sharing,' an SS-rank combat skill... Jin University actually held back this card?"

Nearby, Xu Ping, vice principal of Jing University, wore a Solemn expression.

He couldn't determine whether his own Jing University could win against this lineup.

He'd have to wait until the match actually began to know.

"But... that person from Demon University remains as calm as ever..."

He unconsciously glanced toward Hearing Ling Shuang.

The woman's slender figure still sat upright, her cold, composed face showing no change in expression.

Even Demon University's seventh-rank peak coach, Yang Zhentian,

stood with arms crossed, expression serene, seemingly utterly unconcerned that his team might lose.

This made Xu Ping curious—what was Demon University's confidence based on?

At this point, and still no worry?

"Will Xiao Ming and the others lose?"

Life Sharing, SS-rank combat skills—Xu Qingwan naturally didn't understand any of it.

But from the surrounding chatter, she could still tell Xu Jingming's team was in trouble.

"This..." Cousin Tang Qi didn't know how to respond.

At that moment, Song Qiuyun, seated in another row, interjected with a soft laugh:

"Auntie Xu, don't worry—Jingming hasn't even started yet; this isn't even a challenge for him."

"Oh? Really?"

Upon hearing this, Auntie Xu Qingwan's eyes lit up and she exhaled in relief: "That's good, that's good."

On the other side, Cousin Tang Qi was stunned by the information Song Qiuyun had revealed.

If he's this strong without even trying, how powerful will he be when he truly unleashes his full strength?

"It seems Jin University came prepared."

On the arena,

Facing Jin University's sudden tactical shift, Xu Jingming did not launch an immediate attack, but instead gazed from afar.

"Three S-rank elemental defense combat skills, and all of them are weakening types—this is troublesome."

Bingshan Yao Fang walked up from the rear position.

Looking at the three thick, differently colored elemental shields enveloping the entire Jin University team, he sighed in frustration.

"Indeed troublesome," Xu Jingming nodded.

Unlike ordinary elemental shields, weakening-type shields do not intercept all energy attacks.

They only weaken a portion of it, allowing elemental energy damage to still penetrate through.

However, compared to ordinary elemental shields, this also makes them far less likely to be blasted apart.

With three layers of elemental shields, plus Han Shan's 'Life Share,' ranged elemental damage is essentially useless against them.

What's even more troublesome is,

melee ability-users who want to attack them must first break through these three layers of elemental shields.

"We could try letting me take the front, then we all charge through together."

Kong Shi said in a low voice.

His 'Iron Bear' ability had long been activated, his massive frame over three meters tall.

Combined with an alloy shield like a giant door, it truly gave one an immense sense of security.

"That approach is too risky." Xu Jingming shook his head.

In team battles, ranged elemental ability-users are the top priority targets to eliminate.

Because they can provide extremely troublesome high output while the melee ability-users are locked in combat.

And Jin University has a full three ranged elemental users, their firepower maxed out!

Charging across these 200 meters from here would only turn us into live targets for concentrated fire.

Under these circumstances, even Kong Shi, a mid-tier fourth-rank, wouldn't be able to hold out.

"Senior Yao, try using your S-rank battle technique Icefall Diamond Rain first."

After a moment's thought, Xu Jingming said to Yao Fang.

Once he gauged the strength of Jin University's elemental shields, he'd know what to do next.

"Alright."

Yao Fang didn't hesitate in the slightest—her A-rank ice ability 'Extreme Cold Ice Soul' erupted in full!

A bone-chilling cold instantly spread out, freezing the nearby alloy ground solid!

"Icefall Diamond Rain!"

With a low cry, several thousand white ice diamonds condensed behind her!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!......

The ice diamonds shot out like machine-gun bullets!

Such a dense volley of ice diamonds was enough to annihilate a small hill!

However, by the time the ice diamonds pierced through Jin University's three layers of elemental barriers, their power had already been greatly reduced!

Bang! Bang! Bang!......

The weakened ice shards then went through Life Share's 60% damage reduction.

When they struck Han Shan and the others, they couldn't even leave a red mark on their skin.

Let alone the vital areas wrapped in A-rank battle suits—those didn't take a single point of damage.

"Are your elemental attacks just tickling us? How can they be this weak?

Keep going, keep going! We can let you hit us for a whole minute!"

Even the recovery-type ability-user hadn't been needed, and Han Shan couldn't help but grin smugly.

At this distance, they could naturally use ranged battle techniques to attack Mo University as well.

But before that, he wanted Mo University—and the audience—to see just how terrifying their defense system truly was!
