Chapter 199: One Spear Kill (Seeking monthly votes)

"Everyone wait for the good news of my advancement!"

After confidently saying this, Jiang Tao turned into a crimson beam of light and disappeared from where he stood.

This time, there were only one hundred people left in the arena, and the people in the spectator stands could see all the contestants even more clearly.

Under the announcement of the intelligent female voice, the first match of the second round with 100 people officially began.

"Kill!!"

Another intense battle ensued; the quality of the contestants far exceeded the first round, and those who could advance were all experts.

Among them, Jiang Tao's performance was extremely eye-catching, killing several people in succession.

15 minutes later, the first match ended; Jiang Tao killed the most opponents and successfully advanced to the third round.

Half an hour later, the second round ended; Wang Qiufeng and Li Zhou advanced.

One hour later, the second round was halfway through.

Guanshan, Wang Qiufeng, Zhou Xiyin, Li Zhou, Guo Heng, and several others all advanced to the third round.

What surprised Lin Qi quite a bit was that Yu Jing had actually advanced as well.

His gaze locked onto Yu Jing; the other party's mastery of spear techniques surprised Lin Qi, as his strength had increased quite a bit.

Placed in the entire Profound Heaven Six Academies, he could enter the top 10; it was a bit strange.

Before 12:30 PM, the second round officially ended.

【Number of Advancers: 10 (Six Academies)】

【Number of Advancers: 20 (First Academy)】

Lin Qi exhaled a breath of turbid air; their Six Academies barely had 10 people advance, while the First Academy's number was actually double his.

In terms of top-tier combat power, their Six Academies were indeed lacking.

"Students, the second round has officially ended!"

"At 3 PM this afternoon, the third round will be held here."

Xu Wenji announced loudly.

Others also chose to log off one after another, because everyone knew that starting from the afternoon, the real excitement would begin.

In the martial arts room of a villa belonging to the Profound Heaven Six Academies.

Yu Jing walked out of the virtual pod, clenching his fists, feeling the endless power within his body.

"The feeling of talent improvement is too refreshing!"

"I could only rank behind 30th in the Profound Heaven Six Academies originally, but now I can enter the top ten."

"In a few more months, I might be able to enter the top five, or even surpass Lin Qi."

Thinking of this, Yu Jing couldn't help but start to get excited.

3 PM

On the individual competition arena, a small area appeared among the nine academies, where middle-aged men and women with extraordinary auras sat.

They were the leaders of each academy.

"Our First Academy already has 20 people advancing to the third round, and with Huo Wanyang, we also want the championship; we must occupy at least one-third of the top 50."

"This individual competition will not have any surprises."

The Vice Principal of the First Academy, with an elegant temperament, wearing a specially made white suit, stood tall.

He was called Wu Yueze, the youngest Vice Principal among the nine academies, and his aura was released without any restraint.

After speaking confidently, he cast his gaze toward the middle-aged beauty in purple, as well as Principal Liu Jing, who had large earlobes and a medium build, wearing a white robe.

Principal Liu's expression was calm, and he was also thinking internally about what level Lin Qi was at now.

He had watched Lin Qi's live stream, and his strength was very strong.

His evaluation of Lin Qi was that he was at the level of the top three among the nine academy heads.

He also wasn't clear about the strength of Huo Wanyang, Ao Feng, and Duan Chuchu.

The live stream videos of each academy were all hidden, so he couldn't see them and couldn't make a judgment.

All he could do was wait patiently for the start of the competition.

"Welcome to the third round of the Freshman Competition!"

The Vice Principal, wearing a red and white robe embroidered with golden patterns, was once again projected in front of everyone.

The spectator stands were also lively, with everyone looking forward to the start of the next round.

"In the third round of the competition, nine academy heads will also join in and compete together with all the academy heads."

"For the 99 contestants, the academy will adopt a mutual matching mode, which is a one-on-one duel."

"Contestants with good luck will have a bye and directly advance to the fourth round."

"The remaining 98 contestants will determine the 49 contestants who will enter the fourth round."

"And the contestants who advance to the fourth round will receive a reward of 2 million Xia Guo coins."

Everyone's eyes lit up; 2 million Xia Guo coins was not a small amount.

However, with 50 spots averaged across nine academies, fewer than 6 people could advance.

Lin Qi calculated secretly that if the prize money kept rising until the championship, the amount he could get would be very considerable.

"Now let us watch the battle table!"

Xu Wenji opened his palms, and virtual figures appeared; they were all the 99 contestants who had advanced, and they turned into beams of light to pair up.

Finally, one person stood in Xu Wenji's palm.

【Bye: Huo Wanyang (Profound Heaven First Academy)】

"Contestant Huo Wanyang from the Profound Heaven First Academy has a bye and successfully advances to the fourth round," Xu Wenji announced loudly.

"Boring!"

After seeing the result, Huo Wanyang, on the spectator stands, said to a pretty girl next to him:

"Notify me when the next round starts!"

"Okay!"

After saying this, Huo Wanyang chose to log off.

At the same time, a new large screen was projected, and 49 pairs of battles appeared in everyone's sight.

Thousands of eyes saw their opponents.

【Match 3: Lin Qi (Six Academies) vs Li Zehao (First Academy)】

After seeing his opponent, Lin Qi immediately smiled.

It was really a coincidence; his opponent in the first match was his old rival, Li Zehao.

"Just right to solve you in this round, so you don't get more rewards," Lin Qi thought to himself. At this time, in the position of the Profound Heaven First Academy, Li Zehao's expression turned gloomy after seeing that his opponent was Lin Qi.

"It's actually this guy Lin Qi."

"I am not the same as I was three months ago; if he is careless, I might be able to win!"

Thinking of this, Li Zehao started to feel hot all over, uncontrollably excited.

"Please, the two contestants for the first match, enter the arena!"

Xu Wenji's figure disappeared from the arena, and two figures descended into the arena.

The intelligent voice rang out in the spectator stands.

The next instant, the two figures rushed out instantly, turning into phantoms, swinging the weapons in their hands to launch attacks.

"Clang~"

10 minutes later,

【Match 2: Lou Qifeng wins!】

!

The intelligent female voice announced the end, and the people in the spectator stands also felt the battle of top-tier experts.

【Please, the two contestants for the third match!】

Lin Qi, on the spectator stands, slowly stood up.

"Brother Qi, let everyone see your strength."

"You are the champion of this individual competition!" Jiang Tao waved his fist.

Lin Qi smiled after hearing this, and the next instant he turned into a beam of light and dissipated into the air.

Two crimson beams of light descended into the arena.

【Match 3: Lin Qi (Six Academies) vs Li Zehao (First Academy)】

"Li Zehao, we meet again!"

Lin Qi, wearing a pitch-black combat uniform, walked out of the light beam holding a black great spear.

Opposite him, Li Zehao, holding a silver long spear, also walked out.

Facing Lin Qi, his expression was gloomy, his body tense, and he had long since set up a fighting stance.

He would swing his great spear and rush out to fight at any moment.

Lin Qi tilted his head to look down at Li Zehao and said expressionlessly: "Just give up; you cannot be my opponent."

Li Zehao did not speak, his body was already storing power, and he said excitedly in his heart:

"That's it, be relaxed and careless."

"I have a chance to win the final victory!"

At the same time, the spectator stands were also unusually lively; this was the first time everyone had seen a battle between academy-head-level experts.

"Li Zehao, I remember he is ranked 35th in the country, almost becoming an S-level existence."

"The opponent is Lin Qi; it is destined to be a wonderful battle," many people showed expectant expressions.

Expecting to glimpse the realm of top-tier geniuses from the battle between the two.

On the Ninth Academy spectator stands, Ao Feng, whose features were as pretty as a girl's, had originally planned to log off, but after seeing Lin Qi enter the arena, he watched again.

"Lin Qi, head of the Profound Heaven Six Academies, 10th place in the national college entrance examination."

"This Disaster Beast Hunting Competition led the Six Academies to surpass our Ninth Academy and First Academy; I don't know what his real combat power is like."

At the same time, Duan Chuchu of the Second Academy, Li Lei of the Fourth Academy, and the twin sisters of the Third Academy were all curiously watching the arena.

【Competition preparation begins!】

【Countdown: 3, 2, 1...】

【The competition officially begins!!】

The intelligent female voice in the air announced loudly.

"Whoosh~"

As soon as the words fell, Li Zehao's muscles exerted force simultaneously, his power burst out, and his body shot out like an arrow from a bowstring.

Power was crazily injected into the silver long spear, power circulated, the spear body vibrated with a hum, the spear tip trembled, power was highly condensed, cutting through the air resistance.

He launched a killing move as soon as he made a move, releasing his full power!

"Meteor Spear Art" killing move — Meteor Chasing the Moon!

"Die!!"

Li Zehao exerted his strength to the extreme; he was confident that no one among the freshmen could surpass his speed.

In the eyes of the audience, as soon as the competition started, Li Zehao turned into a silver phantom.

Like a meteor cutting through the night sky, brilliant and short-lived.

Many people couldn't react at all before the killing move had already pierced their hearts.

Facing Li Zehao's attack, Lin Qi did not make any move.

Holding the black great spear with one hand, he slowly retracted it, his arm starting to exert force slowly.

"Whoosh!!"

A fierce wind blew across his face, and the cold light turned into by the sharp spear tip was reflected in his pupils.

Just when the spear tip was less than 10 centimeters away from him, the smile on Li Zehao's mouth could no longer be suppressed.

"Die!!"

In an instant, Lin Qi's figure moved suddenly.

"Whoosh!"

His speed was so fast that a phantom appeared; his body deviated to the side by ten centimeters, his body avoiding the attack trajectory.

Brushing past Li Zehao, at the same time, his spine dragon supported him, the extreme tendons compressed to the limit erupted like a volcano, and the black great spear in his hand pierced out instantly.

"Chirp!!"

The spear tip pierced out in a straight line, precise yet swift, an extreme burst, the power pierced through the obstacles, tearing the air.

Cold light flickered!

Li Zehao only felt a flash before his eyes, and the next instant fresh blood appeared in his eyes.

"Puff~"

The sharp spear tip pierced his neck, and fresh blood spurted out.

Li Zehao's smile froze on his face, his body protruding and hanging on the black great spear, piercing through his combat uniform.

"How could this be...?"

Li Zehao opened his mouth and fresh blood gushed out; he looked up and met Lin Qi's contemptuous gaze.

"Bang!"

In an instant, he turned into nothingness and disappeared from where he stood.

Li Zehao died, the battle ended!
