Chapter 153: No, I want to win!

At this moment, Shi Yu seemed sensitive to the gaze cast by his opponent, suddenly turning his head to meet Zhou Chu's eyes.

From his expression, Zhou Chu could not see the kind of contempt and disdain typical of villains; instead, it revealed the unique coldness of a strict instructor.

At this time, Lei Jianting, who was beside him, draped an arm over Zhou Chu's shoulder and whispered, "Brother Zhou Chu, this Shi Yu is not someone to be trifled with. You must be careful!"

"Don't look at the fact that he has placed fourth in the Elite Tournament for years; his true strength is not at all inferior to the big shots in the top two. Conservatively estimated, he has strength close to the Fourth Rank."

"In the last tournament, I was fortunate enough to face him once, but I lost in just one move; I had no chance at all."

"In the Exorcism Army's New Recruit Training Camp, people nicknamed him 'Devil Instructor,' and he earned the rank of Sergeant before even graduating. He can be considered a rare, formidable character at Shenxia University."

After saying this, Lei Jianting glanced at Shi Yu with lingering fear, then immediately withdrew his gaze.

Clearly, he still had a vivid memory of that initial duel and was also convinced by his opponent's formidable strength.

Generally speaking, it is very rare for those serving in the Exorcism Army to have their military rank widely known.

From this, it can be seen that Shi Yu is not personnel fighting on the front lines, but is only responsible for the selection and training of new recruits for the Exorcism Army.

Yet Zhou Chu is different from him.

After all, Zhou Chu is someone who has cleared four Demon Caves on the front lines and received two Honor Medals.

Whether in terms of contribution or weight, he is far superior to Shi Yu, who is only responsible for instructor duties.

Furthermore, these two honors of Zhou Chu were personally bestowed and awarded by the highest commander of the Exorcism Army; this point alone is enough for his military rank to quickly rise to a higher level.

However, Zhou Chu's military merits and honors, and even his rank, are under the control of the military and are relatively confidential to the outside world.

Even the archives department of Shenxia University does not know the honors Zhou Chu won on the front lines, nor would they be able to find that he holds the rank of Lieutenant in the Exorcism Army.

If Zhou Chu wanted to show off, he could completely display his Officer Card to everyone to prove how awesome he is and how high his rank is.

But Zhou Chu is not the type of person who likes to show off; he values his own strength more.

Regarding those external empty names and honors, he feels that as long as he knows it in his heart and has a clear conscience, there is no need to deliberately show them off to win others' praise or awe.

Shi Yu stood not far away, and although he was expressionless, he was secretly sizing up Zhou Chu in his heart.

This freshman is undoubtedly one of the biggest dark horses in this Peak Elite Tournament, and he had watched the entire duel with Lei Jianting just now.

Although Lei Jianting's strength is nothing in his eyes, the fact that the other party could make Lei Jianting lose without a fight clearly shows he has special methods.

Therefore, he intended to take a good look at what skills this freshman actually has in the upcoming duel.

Just at this moment, the direction of the Arena announced the names of Zhou Chu and Shi Yu.

As soon as the voice fell, Shi Yu, who was in the waiting area, flashed and instantly disappeared from everyone's sight; the next second, he had already appeared on the Arena.

It was actually a long-range Teleportation skill, and the whole process was quite smooth.

Presumably, this is his unique innate skill, and the skill grade and proficiency should not be low.

This flashy entrance by Shi Yu immediately drew thunderous applause from the entire venue.

"It's Senior Shi Yu! This entrance is truly cool!"

"I want to see Senior Shi Yu discipline the freshmen, especially the College Entrance Exam Top Scholar of this year!"

"Zhou Chu shouldn't have a chance this time!"

"Go Senior Shi Yu! Senior Shi Yu must win! Oh oh yeah yeah!"

Judging from the enthusiastic response at the scene, Shi Yu's popularity at Shenxia University is self-evidently high; many students are his fans and have spontaneously formed a massive cheering squad.

They cheered and shouted as if Shi Yu had already won this match.

That soaring enthusiasm made the atmosphere of the entire Arena even more heated and noisy.

In contrast, Zhou Chu did not have any showy entrance, but walked steadily onto the Arena.

Shi Yu looked at Zhou Chu with a cold expression, raised his hand and said, "Zhou Chu, I have heard that you have some ability, but I will not show mercy. Today, you must bring out your true skills."

"If you can last more than three moves in my hands, I will personally recommend you to join this year's Exorcism Army New Recruit Training Camp. I hope you don't let me down!"

Zhou Chu smiled slightly: "Thank you for the favor, Senior Shi Yu, but I don't intend to just last three moves under your hands today."

Shi Yu raised an eyebrow and said: "What do you mean? Want to back out early?"

Zhou Chu shook his head and said: "No, I want to win! So please, Senior, do not hold back at all; just make your move!"

Upon hearing this, a subtle surprise appeared on Shi Yu's cold, handsome face. He did not expect that Zhou Chu would not take the "last three moves" he proposed seriously, but instead bluntly stated he wanted to win this match. It seems he has considerable confidence in his own strength.

However, he is a gold-medal instructor who has led two sessions of the Newcomer Camp, and he has encountered too many freshmen who say such things.

But those freshmen who talked big, which one of them wasn't made completely submissive by him?

"Heh, what big talk! Since you want to win, then I will grant your wish and make sure you lose completely convinced!" Shi Yu sneered.

"According to custom, I usually let the opponent go first! Make your move!"

He did not immediately draw the short blade at his waist, but stood in place with his hands behind his back, fully displaying the demeanor of a master.

At this time, the referee immediately announced the order for the match to officially begin.

Zhou Chu grinned: "Senior Shi, then I won't be polite."

After saying this, he lightly snapped his fingers and used an Undying Curse on Shi Yu opposite him.

The effect of the Undying Curse is quite overbearing, and it also has the miraculous effect of subduing the enemy without a fight.

【You used Undying Curse on Shi Yu! Shi Yu's soul will be tortured by "Chaos Curse" until his soul goes into a frenzy!】

Shi Yu, standing in place, felt a trace of Soul Power fluctuation invade his body from his forehead, and suddenly felt a bit dizzy.

He thought something was wrong with his body and hurriedly shook his head, trying to suppress this discomfort.

However, no matter how deliberately he suppressed it, this discomfort became more and more serious, sweeping toward his consciousness like a mountain and a sea.

As his consciousness became increasingly blurred, the last trace of clarity in his brain suddenly made him realize the truth.

Because he recalled that in the duel between Zhou Chu and Lei Jianting, Zhou Chu didn't even move, but directly made Lei Jianting collapse on his own, thereby voluntarily losing the match.

Shi Yu originally thought that with his own strength, even if Zhou Chu used this ability, he could easily resist it.

But the facts were not so.

He was surprised to find that the more he resisted, the more serious this discomfort became.

It was precisely because Shi Yu's own strength was not weak, and his willpower was sufficiently firm, that he was able to resist the Undying Curse for more than ten seconds.

But this was already his limit.

Very quickly, a strange red color emerged in Shi Yu's pupils.
