Chapter 298: Heavenly Thunder in Succession! Capital University Concedes!

"Holy crap! That lightning bolt is even thicker than my waist!"

"If this actually hits, I'm afraid even a fourth-tier ability user would be wiped out on the spot?"

"Indeed, the might of a single strike is terrifying to such a degree!"

"......"

The terrifying rampage of Lei Ting immediately made the spectators cry out in shock again and again.

One must understand that, in team competition events, the importance of support-type ability users is second only to the captain!

Any standard university representative team will definitely bring along one support.

Even the three top-tier universities have substitutes for support-type ability users.

And this support-type ability user from Capital University is by no means weak.

Once the ability is activated, it can provide roughly a 30% boost in strength to the entire team!

But no one expected that, right at the start of the match, Capital University's support-type ability user would be eliminated directly!

What surprised them even more was,

that the match had already progressed to this point, the team competition was about to end, yet Xu Jingming could still pull out an entirely new battle technique.

This was something none of the spectators present had anticipated......

"It's not Lei Shen Zhi? It's Heavenly Thunder Art?!"

On the arena, Wang Qi, charging at the very front, suddenly halted his steps, his expression extremely ugly.

He'd been played!

During the study tour, Xu Jingming had once unleashed an S-rank Heavenly Thunder Art battle technique.

They naturally knew this intelligence as well.

But back then, the casting wind-up for a single Heavenly Thunder Art was about the same as Lei Shen Zhi, also several seconds long.

That was why he had subconsciously assumed Xu Jingming would use the more powerful Lei Shen Zhi, never expecting Heavenly Thunder Art instead!

"And how can the casting speed be this fast?" Wang Qi's brows furrowed tightly.

In reality,

they also had corresponding defensive measures against Xu Jingming's Heavenly Thunder Art.

But that Heavenly Thunder Art just now, from initiation to successful release, took less than one second!

Their support-type ability user hadn't even had time to use a life-saving measure before being eliminated.

"Captain, what do we do now?"

The other two enhancement-type ability users from Capital University also caught up, among them Zou Taizhi, who had fought Xu Jingming yesterday.

Both of their expressions were rather Solemn.

Having lost the boost brought by the support-type ability user, their strength dropped directly by roughly 30%!

And at this moment, Kong Shi of Demon University and Shen Dongling had already pushed toward this side.

Those two were still manageable; they could still handle them.

The most fatal thing was, no one knew whether that terrifying Heavenly Thunder would descend on their heads the next moment!!

"Don't worry too much, Xu Jingming's Heavenly Thunder Art also has a casting interval."

Seeing the two men's worry, Wang Qi said in a deep voice, "Seize this chance—you two hold off Kong Shi, I'll go take care of Shen Dongling!"

Right!

Battle techniques also have casting intervals!

Heavenly Thunder Art is an S-rank battle technique; it's absolutely impossible to release it continuously without intervals.

Judging by similar-type ranged S-rank battle techniques, this interval should be at least over a minute!

Because the Heavenly Thunder just now was simply too shocking, it caused Zou Taizhi and the other to forget this point.

Now, reminded by Wang Qi, the two finally reacted, and their expressions all brightened.

Then,

Wang Qi stamped his foot, continuing to charge toward Shen Dongling, while Zou Taizhi and the other also charged forward.

But just then, with a crackling sound, another bolt of golden Lei Ting descended!!

This time, the Lei Ting struck the ranged damage-dealer ability user from Capital University.

This was an elemental fire-type ability user, who had been continuously tossing fireballs and repositioning.

After the support was eliminated, he had immediately cast an S-rank elemental shield on himself at the first moment.

Crackle-crackle-pop—

However, under the bombardment of Heavenly Thunder Art, this elemental shield was like paper, pierced straight through!

And this ranged damage-dealer ability user was likewise enveloped by the life-threatening energy protective shield that detected mortal danger.

Another member of the Capital University representative team was eliminated!

"Another Heavenly Thunder Art?! How can it be this fast?"

Wang Qi, gripping his battle saber and charging, was completely dumbfounded.

An S-rank battle technique, paired with an SS-rank ability—the power being formidable was one thing.

But how could the casting interval also be this short?

Crackle!!

Crackle!!

Several more bolts of golden Heavenly Thunder bombarded down in succession, striking Zou Taizhi and the other person respectively.

As a mid-stage fourth-tier enhancement-type ability user, Zou Taizhi had a sturdy physique and stubbornly withstood two bolts of Heavenly Thunder before falling.

As for the other one, an early-stage fourth-tier, just a single bolt of Heavenly Thunder.

This triggered the arena's protection mechanism, and they were eliminated directly.

In the blink of an eye, on Jingda's representative team's side, only Wang Qi remained, still standing on the arena......

"Tsk tsk, brutal, way too brutal."

At the very back of the Mo Da team, Yao Fang could not help but let out a strange cry:

"Captain, your Heavenly Thunder Art is way too strong—they simply have no way to resist it!"

Xu Jingming, who stood at the side, heard this, and a hint of a smile also surfaced on his resolute face.

Normally, the interval between a third-tier upper-rank ability user's Heavenly Thunder Art releases is indeed very long, requiring a full one to two minutes.

But he had refined the blood essence of an eighth-tier lower-rank Thunderstorm Dragon, and later absorbed the blood essence of a ninth-tier dragon-type Beast Sovereign!

After activating the Thunder Extreme State, he was innately blessed with an extremely powerful control over lightning-type combat techniques!

Coupled with the proficiency in ability control at the Liquid Condensation realm, and the amplification provided by Gu Wan.

That was how he achieved a Heavenly Thunder Art every second, an effect close to continuous fire.

In fact,

his proficiency with the Heavenly Thunder Art was only at the beginner level—if the proficiency were raised a bit more,

achieving an uninterrupted, instant-cast Heavenly Thunder Art would not be impossible.

"Wang Qi, do you still want to continue?"

Boom!

A massive giant bear over three meters tall, holding a great shield in one hand and a battle saber in the other, appeared before Wang Qi, looking down at him from above.

"I think it's better not to continue—otherwise, when the captain's Heavenly Thunder strikes down later, it'll just be adding injury to injury."

Beside him, Shen Dongling, who was toying with a dagger, giggled and said, her voice seemingly carrying an endless, bewitching charm.

In the sky, there was also faintly the rumble of muffled thunder.

"What's even the point of continuing this fight?"

He looked at Kong Shi and Shen Dongling before him, then swept his gaze toward the back of the team, where a towering figure stood like a Thunder God.

Wang Qi, who had still been preparing to make one last push, shook his head, took a deep breath, and only then slowly spoke:

"Our Jingda representative team... concedes......"

After saying these words, Wang Qi was completely deflated; the fighting spirit that had once burned high vanished in an instant.

What replaced it was an endless bitterness.

After being defeated by Xu Jingming in yesterday's individual competition, he had already anticipated that today's team competition would have a very low chance of winning.

He had even imagined what kind of manner Jingda would lose in.

But he had never imagined that they would be defeated by the Mo Da representative team in such a near-crushing manner.

No!

Not the Mo Da representative team—to be precise, it was Xu Jingming alone!

He had not even crossed hands with Xu Jingming, and the battle was already over......
