Chapter 172: The Heavy Responsibility of Stealing the Base is Entrusted to You

The first semi-final match of the team tournament is beginning.

The winner of this match will face the winner of the other semi-final in the final showdown.

The other two teams that entered the semi-finals are the Daxia City 5S Team and the International Student Team led by Shigu Sun.

Of course, Shigu Sun's team members are still in the same formation as they were in the freshman Copy; Chen Bo and Meng Jie have already become permanent members of this team, and perhaps they will truly become citizens of another country in the future.

It is mainly Meng Jie; this woman was already fickle and a social climber, and after spending this time with Shigu Sun and the others, she has become increasingly obsessed with foreign things.

She is extremely enthusiastic toward the three international students, and it is likely that without Chen Bo's knowledge, this woman has already done that kind of thing with these three international students.

Therefore, Shigu Sun extended an invitation to Meng Jie and Chen Bo to go to Nihong Academy for advanced studies.

Although Chen Bo is not very happy with this proposal in his heart, he is helpless as he has always been mediocre at Shenxia University.

The confidence he once had after binding an S-Grade Soul Profession has plummeted at this moment, and the psychological gap has left him deeply devastated.

Unwilling to be mediocre, Chen Bo, under Meng Jie's instigation, agreed to Shigu Sun's invitation.

It is quite a coincidence that during the time Shigu Sun's team walked all the way to the semi-finals, they did not seem to encounter any strong opponents; most of them were freshman teams.

Therefore, their path to advancement was not bumpy; instead, they advanced triumphantly and successfully entered the semi-finals.

On the contrary, those five S-Grade geniuses from Daxia City encountered two senior teams during the period, which did lead to some bumps in the road.

However, the only luck was that they did not encounter Shi Yu's team and Zhou Chu, otherwise they would not have been able to avoid the fate of being eliminated early.

Shigu Sun and the others did not sign up for the Individual Tournament, mainly because they were afraid of losing face to the people of Shenxia.

After all, they had learned a lesson from the strength of Zhou Chu and Zhou Li, so they were finally not as arrogant and condescending as when they first arrived at Shenxia University.

With the two major obstacles of Zhou Chu and Zhou Li ahead, Shigu Sun and the others finally calculated and decided to only sign up for the team tournament.

As long as they win a good ranking in the team tournament, they won't lose too much face; even if they do, the whole team loses it together, which is much better than him losing face alone.

At this moment, seeing their team enter the semi-finals with a relaxed posture, Shigu Sun's heart could not help but swell.

While in the waiting area, Shigu Sun secretly pinched Meng Jie's perky buttocks, and the latter looked back at him with eyes as alluring as silk.

Chen Bo's expression was indifferent; he was already accustomed to this situation.

It should be said that Meng Jie no longer belonged to him alone as a girlfriend; she had almost become public property.

At this time, Shigu Sun draped his arm over Chen Bo's shoulder and said with a chuckle, "Chen-san, do you have the confidence to win this match? I heard these five people from Daxia City are very good at team coordination; I'm actually looking forward to it."

Chen Bo just smiled slightly and did not speak.

Shigu Sun grinned, patted Chen Bo's shoulder again, and said, "Don't worry, Chen-san, after staying here for another half a year, you will be able to go to the top institution of our Nihong Empire for further studies!"

"Just imagine, when spring comes, you and Miss Meng walking as a couple under the dense cherry blossom trees at Nihong Academy—what a beautiful picture that will be!"

Looking at Shigu Sun's infatuated expression, Chen Bo's face looked ugly, but he still did not express an opinion.

As the loud bell rang, John, who was standing at the very front, slapped his solid chest a few times, shouted "Mumu" a few times, and stepped into the waiting area.

At this moment in Screaming Canyon, Shi Yu was leading three team members, moving silently through a dense jungle.

"Senior Shi Yu, is it feasible for the four of us to act together while leaving Li Mengyao alone on another path? What if the Energy Crystal is stolen by Zhou Chu and the others?"

At this time, Lei Jianting, who was carrying the Mountain Splitting Axe, asked with some worry.

Shi Yu's expression was calm, and he said in a deep voice, "Li Mengyao's Illusion Clone can buy us five minutes. We must steal their Energy Crystal first!"

It could be seen that Shi Yu was determined to steal the opponent's base this time.

Since they were not opponents in a fight, they would avoid direct confrontation with them as much as possible and put all their energy into the opponent's Energy Crystal.

Tap, tap, tap...

A sound of horse hooves stepping on the ground came from not far away.

Shi Yu, who had the keenest perception, lowered his body, clenched his right hand into a fist, and held it above his head.

Seeing this, the three team members hurriedly crawled into the grass, pursed their lips tightly, and did not dare to let out a single breath.

They saw a Calamity Knight, armed to the teeth in black armor, holding a long spear over two meters long, and riding an Undead Horse, slowly appearing in their line of sight.

The appearance of the Calamity Knight was indeed very oppressive, but if they worked together, taking it down would not be a problem.

However, in order not to alert the enemy, the few of them relied on hiding in the grass and let this Calamity Knight pass by.

After watching the Calamity Knight walk far away, Shi Yu, who was in a state of Hidden, made a gesture that the alert was lifted. Immediately, the other three teammates crawled out of the grass, and under Shi Yu's leadership, they approached the opponent's Energy Crystal at the speed of a forced march.

Just at this moment, on the hillside to the side, a Calamity Knight charged down with its spear, moving very fast.

Lei Jianting, as the only melee fighter in the team, swung his Mountain Splitting Axe and met it, then shouted with a look of resignation, "Brother Yu, two seniors, the heavy responsibility of stealing the base is entrusted to you; this little brother is off!"

"Wahahaha, eat my axe, old Lei!"

After saying that, he gave a loud shout, raised the Mountain Splitting Axe in his hand, and hacked toward the Calamity Knight.

Seeing this, Shi Yu did not stop; with a wave of his hand, he took the other two team members and continued to push forward.

To win this team tournament, one must make some sacrifices.

Since the junior and junior sister were taking the lead, he, as the Captain, must not let them sacrifice in vain; he was bound to succeed in one strike and win the match.

But just as Shi Yu and the two others had arrived at the opponent's high ground, Lei Jianting's voice came through the headset: "Zhou Li is here with me; I'm out!"

Immediately following this, a clear female voice rang out over the entire Screaming Canyon: "Red team Lei Jianting, OUT!"

Shi Yu gritted his teeth and directly led the two team members to rush quickly toward the blue Energy Crystal in front.

But at this moment, something with a strange appearance came screaming over from the direction of the energy barrier.

Seeing this, Shi Yu was shocked, hurriedly shouted "Quick, dodge," and then lunged to the side.

With a boom, a red mushroom cloud rose into the sky; those two senior students didn't even have a chance to dodge and were instantly finished.

"Red team Niu Guicheng, Feng Zhiyan OUT!"
