Chapter 299: Double Champions! Meda! The Uncrowned King!

"Jingda has surrendered!"

"Of course! Only Shi Zun is left—how could he fight five at once?"

"True, better to surrender early and conserve some strength."

"......"

Seeing Jingda's team voluntarily surrender, the spectators felt no dissatisfaction.

On one hand, Wang Qi had entered the match injured, and there were still survival matches ahead.

Better to surrender now than suffer another severe injury—save strength for the survival matches.

On the other hand, facing the formidable Meda, Wang Qi alone had no chance of turning the tide!

"If Shi Zun were replaced by Lei Di, there might be some hope," someone joked half-seriously.

Indeed,

Wang Qi lacked the power to fight five at once, but Xu Jingming had that ability!

In short, it was simply a gap in strength that led to this outcome.

Fundamentally, Wang Qi's Earth-elemental ability was decent for defense.

But it was useless for a comeback—too weak in offense.

Only Xu Jingming's powerful and dominant Lightning-elemental ability was the ultimate offensive path!

Capable of infinite miraculous possibilities!

"Heavenly Thunder Art! Who knew Xu Jingming had mastered an S-rank combat technique!"

"Is this guy really only 19? Some 24-year-old adepts don't even know as many techniques as he does!"

"A prodigy—truly a prodigy."

"......"

In the arena seating, many instructors were filled with admiration.

Xu Jingming knew too many combat techniques—if he pulled out another S-rank technique, they wouldn't be surprised at all.

In fact,

Xu Jingming truly possessed an S-rank technique, " Mingyuleikai," which he had not used in any of these recent matches.

It wasn't that he didn't want to use it—he simply had no opportunity.

" Mingyuleikai " greatly enhanced his defense, but in these matches,

Xu Jingming never felt any serious threat to his life.

Wang Qi's final S-rank top-tier technique, "Crushing Mountain and Splitting Earth Slash," might have forced him to reveal it.

But Xu Jingming's "Lei Guan Demon Killing Spear" struck faster, directly interrupting Wang Qi's technique release...

"Rapid-fire Heavenly Thunder Art! Does Xu Jingming also have such a high talent for ranged spell techniques?!"

On the Thunder Martial Arts Pavilion's spectator bench, Su Qingli, as the pavilion's head, was pleasantly surprised.

The Thunder Martial Arts Pavilion's internal technique library naturally included the S-rank technique "Heavenly Thunder Art."

Along with its upper-tier technique, the SSS-rank "Wan Leitian Heavenly Thunder Invocation," it was also present.

As a ninth-rank Law Saint, she had mastered them all—familiar beyond measure.

She knew well that achieving rapid-fire effects required exquisite control over both spiritual energy and elemental manipulation.

Xu Jingming had achieved this.

Though Meda's support-elemental adept had played a role, it still proved Xu Jingming's innate talent.

"It seems letting him follow the elemental master path hasn't wasted his close-combat talent."

Su Qingli thought to herself.

After witnessing such talent, she longed for Xu Jingming to join the Thunder Martial Arts Pavilion immediately, under her personal tutelage!

But she knew haste wouldn't cook a hot dumpling.

The Thunder Martial Arts Pavilion had shown all its advantages—the decision rested with Xu Jingming.

All she could do was wait.

"No, no—Ling Shuang is Xu Jingming's principal. If she could speak up for him occasionally, it might help."

"No, I'll go talk to Ling Shuang again after this."

A faint gleam of determination flickered in Su Qingli's eyes.

Her original plan had been to return to headquarters after today's match.

But now, she'd have to stay a few more days...

"Jingda's team has surrendered. This round of the team competition is won by Meda!"

With this match concluded, Meda's team competition record stands at 9 wins, 0 losses!

Let us congratulate them—congratulations to Meda for claiming the team competition championship!!"

Wang Qi, representing Jingda, surrendered; host Feng Le announced the match result.

Immediately, the spectators erupted in endless cheers!!

"Meda is champion! We won!"

"I knew Meda would bounce back!"

"Meda awesome! Lei Di awesome!"

"......"

The National University League has three events; now, Meda has won both the individual and team championships.

They are already the undisputed king of this year's league!

Even if they lose the survival event, they are still the overall champion!

Once the league ends, Meda will don its own crown.

Naturally, many Meda fans were ecstatic.

This is Meda! This is the elite university they loved!

Last year they lost the top spot—this year they reclaimed it immediately!

No wonder they were the ideal strongest university!

As for Jingda and other universities' fans, though disappointed they didn't win,

they still generously applauded and cheered for Meda.

"They won!"

"Now I can finally relax."

On Meda's spectator bench, instructors including Yang Zhentian all exhaled in relief.

As a longtime champion of the National University League, losing last year was forgivable.

But losing again this year would upset not only the students,

but also damage the school's prestige!

And in just over three months, the new Wu Ke college entrance exam would begin.

If league losses affected enrollment, the consequences would be grave.

"Dean Yang, your Meda is indeed strong—but we didn't lose to you, we lost to Xu Jingming!

If you gave Xu Jingming to us, we'd be the ones winning!"

At this point, Liu An, Jingda's longtime composed training coach, had finally cracked.

With Wang Qi on their team, he had been utterly confident about this National University League.

But one Xu Jingming ruined his entire plan!

"What do you mean you lost to Xu Jingming, not to Meda? Isn't Xu Jingming our own?"

Yang Zhentian's nickname "Yang the Tyrant" wasn't earned for nothing—he snorted and immediately retorted, adding:

"Besides, if you really wanted Xu Jingming, why didn't you recruit him after the Wu Ke exam ended?"

"You!" Liu An glared.

But he had no reply—only stormed off in fury.

"After all these years of rivalry, I've never seen Liu An lose his temper like this."

Yang Zhentian, usually stern-faced, was now grinning broadly.

The bitterness from last year's suppression vanished—only two words described his mood:

Satisfying!

"Then again, without Xu Jingming,

Kong Shi and the others might not have won this league."

Yang Zhentian mused inwardly.

He decided to investigate, once back at school, who had recruited Xu Jingming.

Such a talented instructor deserved more than just a token reward!
