Chapter 152: A Monster Rarely Seen in a Century

Li Mengyao was completely stunned when she saw that Li Er had actually used a Hurricane summoned out of thin air to blow away all of her most proficient Spirit Butterfly Illusion Powder.

She had originally intended to increase the dosage of the illusion powder to take Zhou Li out in one wave, but all of her attempts were neutralized by her opponent one by one.

After all, a Spirit Butterfly Illusionist is also a hidden-tier Soul Profession.

As a Spirit Butterfly Illusionist, if one's most proficient illusion technique cannot take effect, it is just like a Warrior losing the sharp blade in their hand, or an Archer running out of arrows.

Aside from illusion techniques, a Spirit Butterfly Illusionist does not possess high-damage or high-burst capabilities themselves.

If the illusion technique cannot exert its effect, one cannot effectively inflict heavy damage on the opponent.

"It should be over now."

At this moment, Li Er, on the other side of the Hurricane, could not help but whisper softly, and a long black sniper rifle appeared in her hands.

When Li Mengyao saw the weapon emitting a black luster that had inexplicably appeared in Li Er's hands, she saw that it was already raised and aimed at her.

This could not help but send a slight chill up her spine.

However, she did not intend to just surrender like this; instead, she shook the Spirit Butterfly umbrella in her hand again, manifesting several transparent Spirit Butterflies.

These few Spirit Butterflies landed on Li Mengyao, and in an instant, she vanished from the Arena.

Yet at this moment, the corners of Li Er's mouth, as she held the sniper rifle, curled into an elegant arc.

Although Li Mengyao had used the stealth butterfly powder to conceal her body, her figure had nowhere to hide within the sniper rifle's scope.

Through the scope, Li Er clearly locked onto Li Mengyao's position, and immediately pulled the trigger.

With only a bang, the sniper rifle instantly spat out a tongue of fire, hitting the invisible Li Mengyao with extreme precision and directly knocking her out of her stealth state.

Li Mengyao's body, which had been running, collapsed to the ground with a thud, and in the instant before her body was teleported out of the Arena, her eyes were filled with disbelief.

A one-shot kill!

She never imagined that her most relied-upon stealth method would still fail to escape Li Er's sniper rifle.

The Spirit Butterfly Illusionist, whom many Soul Professionals feared greatly, had lost all her edge in front of this freshman and was sent out of the Arena in such a wretched state.

At this time, the entire Arena once again fell into a deathly silence.

The audience present had originally thought that Li Mengyao was guaranteed to win this match, but they did not expect Li Er to rely on various clever and powerful methods to resolve crises time and again, ultimately achieving victory.

This dramatic reversal was almost beyond everyone's expectations.

Li Er's performance even left the veteran contestants in the contestant area sighing endlessly.

Li Mengyao had actually lost, and she had lost to a freshman.

This was undoubtedly the biggest upset in the history of this Peak Elite Tournament.

The illusion techniques that caused so many Soul Professionals to suffer had completely lost their effect on this girl.

Zhou Chu alone had already surprised people greatly, and now there was a Zhou Li.

The siblings had defeated two powerful junior contestants with almost no effort, which was truly astonishing.

Are the freshmen of this year this fierce?

That's not accurate!

It should be that the two freshmen, Zhou Chu and Zhou Li, are relatively fierce.

These two can completely be called monsters rarely seen in a century.

On the high-up viewing platform, Yu Dafu's eyes were widened to an astonishing degree, and he sat on his chair, dull and motionless like a soulless sculpture.

Atom Mechanic!

Spirit Energy Master!

These two names were spinning incessantly in his head at this moment.

Up until now, Yu Dafu had already seen Zhou Li use Soul Power to transform four different things.

A shield, a capture net, a Hurricane, and a sniper rifle!

Every transformation of Zhou Li's was a strong shock to Yu Dafu's heart.

He did not know how many more things Zhou Li could transform, nor did he know how great her potential truly was.

Because in his view, Zhou Li did not seem like a so-called Atom Mechanic, but rather more like a Spirit Energy Master of the Spirit Energy Clan.

However, up until now, he was the only person in this world who possessed the bloodline of the Spirit Energy Clan.

And how could this little girl before his eyes possibly be a true member of the Spirit Energy Clan?

This was something that this old principal, who had lived for over a century, could not figure out no matter what.

After thinking for a long time to no avail, Yu Dafu could only conclude that it was the exclusive ability of an Atom Mechanic.

Furthermore, those ordinary people in the Spirit Energy Clan of the past who had not awakened their Psionic Power were called Mechanics.

And since the Soul Profession that Zhou Li bound to was also Mechanic, it was reasonable that she possessed skills similar to a Spirit Energy Master to a certain extent.

Arriving at the contestant area, Li Er returned to Zhou Chu's side.

On her face, there seemed to be no joy from winning the match; it remained that same calm-as-water expression.

This instead made many people around her feel even more that this little girl was unfathomable.

She had clearly just experienced an intense match and defeated the powerful Li Mengyao, yet she could be so indifferent, as if all of this was within her expectations.

Even Zhou Chu seemed to have a slight illusion at this moment.

Recalling those high-and-mighty, cold-natured gods, Zhou Chu felt more and more that Li Er was gradually moving closer to the status of a god.

Thus, he subconsciously probed Li Er, but made a surprising discovery.

After this duel, the Psionic Core within Li Er's body had actually improved once again.

It had reached the highest Constellation Ray Tier from the previous Constellation Radiance Tier.

As the highest quality, the Constellation Ray Tier Psionic Core was already at the limit.

However, under the enhancement of Divine Fusion, the Psionic Core within Li Er's body would definitely break through this limit and eventually reach god-level quality.

Therefore, Li Er might perhaps become a god of the Spirit Energy Clan in the future.

Putting his thoughts away, Zhou Chu's attention was once again drawn back to the competition arena.

The big screen displayed the final results of the first round of the Individual Tournament, and at the same time, based on the system's random grouping, the list for the second round of the Individual Tournament was soon displayed.

As the competition entered the next round, the opponents also became much stronger.

In this freshly released matchup list, Zhou Chu saw the opponent he would encounter in the second round.

The one matched against him was a senior in his fourth year named Shi Yu, whose Soul Profession was "Shadow Hunter."

It was said that this senior was proficient in short blades and crossbows, and had a unique talent for Stealth and camouflage.

He had won first place in the academics of the Special Warfare Department and Reconnaissance Department of his grade for consecutive years, and had also received the school's special scholarship.

Moreover, Shi Yu had passed the selection for the special operations squad of the Exorcism Army early on, and had long since obtained the military rank of Sergeant.

It is worth mentioning that he also served as a special-grade instructor for the Exorcism Army special operations squad selection every year, existing specifically to select elites.

At the same time, he was also an elite figure who had defended the fourth place for three consecutive years in the Peak Elite Tournament of previous sessions.

Although Shi Yu's strength was strong for all to see, every time he encountered Li Mengyao, he would always miss out on victory under her illusions.

Zhou Chu saw that Shi Yu was currently constantly comforting Li Mengyao, who had lost the match.

Perhaps, this was the reason why Shi Yu was willing to settle for fourth place.
