Chapter 299: Dual Champions! Modda! The Uncrowned King!
"Jingda conceded!"
"Obviously! Only Shi Zun is left, can he really take on five by himself?"
"True, conceding early lets them preserve more strength."
"......"
Seeing the Jingda representative team concede voluntarily, the many spectators didn't feel dissatisfied with this.
On one hand, Wang Qi was already fighting while injured, and there was still the survival match afterward.
Rather than getting seriously injured again, it was better to concede voluntarily, conserve strength, and unleash it in the survival match later.
On the other hand, facing the ferocious Modda, Wang Qi alone simply had no way to turn the tables!
"If you swapped Shi Zun for Lei Di, there'd still be some chance." someone said half-jokingly.
Indeed,
Wang Qi didn't have the strength to take on five alone, yet Xu Jingming had that capability!
Put plainly, it was still the gap in strength that led to the current outcome.
Fundamentally speaking, Wang Qi's earth-element ability was passable for defense.
But it couldn't be used to turn the tables — its offensive power was too weak.
Only Xu Jingming's fierce and domineering lightning-element ability was the strongest path of offense!
Possessing the infinite possibility of creating miracles!
"Heavenly Thunder Art! I didn't expect Xu Jingming to actually have mastered an S-rank battle technique!"
"Is this guy really only 19? Some 24-year-old ability users don't even have as many battle techniques as him, right?"
"A monster, truly a monster."
"......"
In the inner audience area, many instructors were also full of admiration.
Xu Jingming had mastered too many battle techniques; if he pulled out another S-rank battle technique, none of them would be surprised in the slightest.
In fact,
Xu Jingming really did have an S-rank 'Nether Prison Mingyu Lei Kai' that he hadn't used in these past few days of competition.
It wasn't that he didn't want to use it, but there simply hadn't been a chance!
Nether Prison Mingyu Lei Kai could greatly enhance his own defensive power, but in these past few days of competition,
Xu Jingming hadn't felt any particularly great threat to his life.
Originally, Wang Qi's final S-rank top-tier battle technique 'Mountain-Crushing Earth-Splitting Slash' had a chance to force this technique out of him.
But Xu Jingming's 'Thunder Piercing Demon-Slaying Spear' was a step faster, directly interrupting Wang Qi's technique release......
"Consecutive Heavenly Thunder Arts! Xu Jingming's talent in ranged spell-type battle techniques is this high too?!"
On the Lei Ting Wu Guan audience side, Su Qingli, as the hall master, was somewhat pleasantly surprised.
The battle technique vault within Lei Ting Wu Guan naturally also contained the S-rank battle technique 'Heavenly Thunder Art'.
Along with its superior technique, the SSS-rank 'Ten Thousand Prison Heavenly Thunder Summon', it likewise had it.
As a ninth-rank Law Saint, she had already mastered them all — couldn't be more familiar.
Lei Shen Zhi knew that to achieve an effect similar to consecutive casts, one's spiritual power and control over one's ability had to be extremely delicate.
The fact that Xu Jingming could reach this step,
although it included the factor of that support-type ability user from Modda, was still enough to demonstrate Xu Jingming's own talent.
"Looking at it this way, letting him walk the elementalist path isn't exactly burying his close-combat talent."
Su Qingli thought to herself.
After witnessing such talent, she wished Xu Jingming would immediately join Lei Ting Wu Guan and be personally trained by her!
But she also knew that haste makes poor work.
All the conditions Lei Ting Wu Guan could provide had already been displayed; the decision was in Xu Jingming's hands.
The only thing she could do was wait.
"No, that's not right — Ling Shuang is Xu Jingming's principal. If she puts in a good word for him more often in daily life, it might actually work.
No, I need to go find Ling Shuang to talk again later."
A faint unusual gleam flickered in Su Qingli's eyes.
Her original plan was to return to headquarters after watching today's matches.
Looking at things now, she'd have to stay a few more days......
"The Jingda representative team concedes; this round's team match is won by Modu Ability University!
With this battle concluded, Modu Ability University's team match record is 9 wins, 0 losses!
Let us congratulate them — congratulations to Modu Ability University on successfully claiming the championship of the team match event!!"
Wang Qi conceded on behalf of Jingda, and the host Feng Le also announced the result of this match.
What followed was the endless cheers of the audience!!
"Modda is the champion! We won!"
"I knew it, Modda would win it back!"
"Modda is awesome! Lei Di is awesome!"
"......"
The National University League has three competition events in total; now Modda has already claimed the dual championships of the singles match and the team match.
One could say it has already become the uncrowned king of this edition of the league!
Even if it falters in the upcoming survival match event, it would still be the overall champion!
Once the league ends, Magic University can finally wear the crown that belongs to it!
In response, plenty of Magic University fans were naturally thrilled beyond words.
This is Magic University! This is the top-tier university they love!
They had the first place snatched away in last season's league, and now they've immediately taken it back!
Truly worthy of being the strongest university in their hearts!
As for the fans of Capital University and the other universities, though they regretted not winning the championship,
they still generously offered Magic University their applause and cheers.
"We won!"
"Now we can finally rest easy."
On Magic University's spectator side, many instructors including Yang Zhentian also collectively breathed a sigh of relief.
As a long-time champion of the National University League, losing once last year could still be forgiven.
If they lost again this year, not only would the enrolled students feel dissatisfied,
even the school's own prestige would be affected!
And in just over three months, it will be the new session of the Wu Ke Gaokao.
If the league defeat affected the recruitment of students, the sin would be enormous.
"Dean Yang, your Magic University is indeed very strong, but we didn't lose to you — we lost to Xu Jingming!
If you gave Xu Jingming to us, then the winners would absolutely be our Capital University!"
By this point, Capital University's training officer Liu An, who had originally been able to keep his composure, was already starting to crack.
Originally, because of Wang Qi's presence, he could be said to have been fully confident about this National University League!
But it was all because of one Xu Jingming that his entire plan was ruined!
"What do you mean we lost to Xu Jingming and not to Magic University? Is Xu Jingming not one of our Magic University's?"
Yang Zhentian's nickname 'Yang Yama' wasn't earned for nothing — he gave a cold snort, immediately fired back, and added another line:
"Besides, if you really wanted Xu Jingming, after the Wu Ke Gaokao ended, why didn't you recruit him into your Capital University?"
"You!" Liu An's eyes bulged.
But he couldn't say anything back, and could only leave in annoyance with a flick of his sleeve.
"After all these years of rivalry, this is the first time I've seen Liu An unable to accept a loss."
Yang Zhentian, who was always stern-faced, was now grinning from ear to ear.
The frustration of being suppressed in last season's league was swept clean away — only two words could describe his mood:
Satisfying!
"But then again, if it weren't for Xu Jingming,
relying solely on Kong Shi and the others in this league, we really might not have won."
Yang Zhentian sighed inwardly.
He decided that once they returned to the school, he would look into who had recruited Xu Jingming.
Such a capable teacher — it would be inexcusable not to give them a generous reward!
