Chapter 203

【Second match: Lin Qi (Sixth Academy) wins!】

Over the empty arena, the smart voice announced the final result.

Ruan Qian's figure returned to the spectator stands, her expression somewhat dull, her mind still recalling the battle just now.

Ruan Yu beside her smiled and said: "You were already quite good, and you did it, you really held on for more than 10 moves in Lin Qi's hands."

"However, once Lin Qi exerted his strength, you couldn't block it."

Ruan Qian immediately hugged her sister to complain:

"This guy Lin Qi is really too terrifying."

"His strength, speed, and use of Gangjin are all too strong."

"It was an all-around suppression of me, making people despair, completely unable to beat him."

"We are all S-rank geniuses, why is the gap so big? I have never lost so miserably since I was a child."

Ruan Yu couldn't answer either; there are people beyond people, heavens beyond heavens, there are always geniuses that cannot be understood.

The spectator stands also fell into an inexplicable silence for a moment.

The next second, thunderous applause erupted from the position of the Firmament Sixth Academy.

"How did it end so quickly?"

"Is this Ruan Qian too weak?"

"You don't understand a thing, it's not that Ruan Qian is too weak, it's that Lin Qi is too strong."

"Facing others before, Ruan Qian could easily defeat her opponents with a set of combos, but facing Lin Qi, this set didn't work at all," everyone sighed.

In the leadership seats, the black-clad beauty, vice principal of the Third Academy, also stopped talking, her expression quite ugly.

Their S-rank genius of the First Academy lost so miserably, it was conceivable that the academy head's twin sister Ruan Yu was definitely no match either; the gap was too big.

Liu Yuanzhang was also quite surprised at this time; Lin Qi's strength was a bit exaggerated.

Through several battles, he had already glimpsed part of Lin Qi's strength, an absolute top-tier existence, stronger than he imagined.

"Interesting!"

Huo Wanyang in the Firmament First Academy spectator stands also became interested.

This gave him the idea of wanting to compete with Lin Qi.

Ao Chi Quan of the Firmament Ninth Academy also had his expression become serious.

"Wanting to defeat Lin Qi, it's probably not that easy; he is more troublesome than imagined."

The competition was still ongoing, and the subsequent battles also became exceptionally exciting.

They were all battles at the academy head level.

Even someone as strong as Duan Chuchu or Li Lei couldn't easily defeat their opponents.

Only Huo Wanyang remained strong, brandishing the red halberd, charging and crashing, his fierce strength unleashed.

No one could withstand three of his halberd strikes.

The academy head of the Firmament Seventh Academy also had to be eliminated.

Half an hour later.

The sixth round officially ended.

"Students, the final seven have come out!!" Xu Wenji, who was projected, announced loudly.

【Top 7: Huo Wanyang (First Academy), Duan Chuchu (Second Academy), Ruan Yu (Third Academy), Li Lei (Fourth Academy), Lin Qi (Sixth Academy), Lu Yuntao (Eighth Academy), Ao Chi Quan (Ninth Academy)】

"Among these seven players, one player will advance to the semifinals in advance."

"The remaining six players will determine the remaining four semifinal seats."

Xu Wenji waved his hand again; this time there were only seven figures, six of which were paired up.

Only one figure did not move.

【Bye player: Lin Qi (Sixth Academy)】

"Let us congratulate student Lin Qi, the academy head of the Firmament Sixth Academy, for having a bye again!"

The field was in an uproar; Lin Qi had a bye again, advancing directly to the semifinals.

Lin Qi was also quite surprised; he still wanted to compete with other experts more.

Then he only needed to defeat two opponents to get the final championship.

Fifteen minutes later.

The seventh round ended.

"Finally, let us congratulate Huo Wanyang, Ao Chi Quan, and Duan Chuchu for successfully advancing to the semifinals!"

Xu Wenji announced loudly, and the freshman individual competition gradually reached its climax.

Xu Wenji waved his hand, and four figures flew out, paired two by two, and the semifinal battle table was released.

【First match: Huo Wanyang (First Academy) vs Duan Chuchu (Second Academy)】

【Second match: Lin Qi (Sixth Academy) vs Ao Chi Quan (Ninth Academy)】

After the battle table came out, the spectator stands were completely in an uproar.

Countless people became excited; what followed was the real battle between the strong.

All four of them were top-tier geniuses ranked in the top ten in the college entrance examination.

In the area of the Firmament Ninth Academy, Ao Chi Quan, with delicate features and a feminine temperament, also smiled:

"First defeat Lin Qi, then defeat Huo Wanyang!"

"There is no better script than this."

In the Firmament Sixth Academy spectator stands, Jiang Tao was already restless:

"Lin Qi Ge, I have already collected a lot of information on Ao Chi Quan, do you want to take a look?"

Lin Qi shook his head: "I have already briefly understood his saber technique."

"Ao Chi Quan, one of the S-rank geniuses signed by the Red Dome Martial Arts Hall, ranked second in the Imperial Capital, a super genius only second to Huo Wanyang."

"Nicknamed Ghost Blade, he practices the Bronze-level saber technique—'Ghost Shadow Saber Technique,' the saber technique speed is extremely fast, the saber strikes like a ghost, killing the enemy invisibly."

Jiang Tao briefly introduced Ao Chi Quan's information.

Lin Qi also nodded, and at the same time, the first match in the arena officially began.

Duan Chuchu vs Huo Wanyang.

"Clang, clang!!"

Collision of sword technique and halberd.

Duan Chuchu's blood-Qi value was not low either; Lin Qi suspected she had also reached a blood-Qi value of 38 or 39.

Huo Wanyang couldn't crush his opponent like before, and both sides fought back and forth.

Duan Chuchu's sword technique was tricky, changeable, fierce, and ruthless; the sword technique was like a golden snake, the angle of the sword thrust was tricky and unpredictable.

This was the secret technique she learned, "Jin Shejian Sword Technique."

The nickname Jin Shejian Sword came from this sword technique secret manual.

At the beginning, she caught Huo Wanyang off guard, but soon the situation took a sharp turn. "Boom!!"

Huo Wanyang exerted force instantly, terrifying blood-Qi erupted, Gangjin flowed, and the halberd swung out.

Charging straight at Duan Chuchu, her Jin Shejian Sword Technique couldn't block Huo Wanyang's fierce offensive at all.

Huo Wanyang used strength to overcome ten moves; the gap in physical fitness between the two was too big, and Duan Chuchu couldn't hold on for too long.

"Boom~"

One minute later, the sharp sword in Duan Chuchu's hand was shaken away, and she herself was pierced through the chest by the sharp red halberd blade and died.

"Too weak!" Huo Wanyang put away the red halberd and shook his head.

His gaze looked toward the Ninth Academy and the Sixth Academy respectively, wondering which of the two academy heads could be his opponent.

【First match: Huo Wanyang (First Academy) wins】

All the spectators in the spectator stands felt that Huo Wanyang in the arena was an unrivaled existence.

In the leadership seats, Wu Yueze, the vice principal of the First Academy with an elegant temperament, also smiled:

"It seems the championship is already determined!"

!

"Huo Wanyang's strength is the strongest among the freshmen."

"The competition isn't over yet, if Huo Wanyang loses, it would be embarrassing," the vice principal of the Ninth Academy, a middle-aged beauty in purple, said.

In the spectator stands, the people of the Sixth Academy had solemn expressions.

"This Huo Wanyang is indeed strong, like Lu Bu alive, fighting anyone very easily," Guo Heng said with a solemn expression.

Only after confronting Huo Wanyang head-on could one feel his power.

"Don't worry, Lin Qi Ge will defeat him," Jiang Tao was still confident.

"However, now we have to solve Ao Chi Quan," Jiang Tao looked at Lin Qi.

【Please invite the second players, Lin Qi and Ao Chi Quan, to the arena!】

The smart voice announced loudly.

Lin Qi stood up and turned into a crimson pillar of light, descending onto the arena.

Opposite him, the tall Ao Chi Quan also walked out; he was 1.95 meters tall, about the same as Lin Qi.

But he had a male body and female face, with delicate and three-dimensional features, like a girl.

Wearing a silver-white combat suit, he brandished a Tang-style horizontal saber.

The saber body was narrow, straight, and slender; sometimes when looked at carefully, it looked like a long sword.

Ao Chi Quan smiled and looked at Lin Qi:

"Although your strength is quite good, my opponent is Huo Wanyang."

Lin Qi raised the corner of his mouth and said:

"If you look good, don't think so beautifully!"

"You won't pass my level!"

【Competition is about to begin!】

【Countdown: 3, 2, 1...】

【The competition has officially begun!】

Under the gaze of everyone, as the smart voice announced the start, the second match of the semifinals was on the verge of breaking out.

"Whoosh~"

Ao Chi Quan's gaze condensed, and a cold aura erupted, like a poisonous snake.

His figure flickered, his figure moved rapidly, and the saber light approached like a ghost, the saber light flickering out in an instant.

"Ghost Shadow Saber Technique"—Ghost Shadow Lost Track!

The speed was extremely fast; Lin Qi's gaze condensed, and Ao Chi Quan swung out several virtual shadows.

This was because the saber technique was too fast, and the illusion caused by the flow of Gangjin.

This was something that could only be done when physical fitness and martial arts reached a very high level.

Lin Qi also stepped forward like a sharp arrow, the black spear in his hand thrusting out, emitting a sharp whistling sound.

"Whoosh, whoosh!!"

In the eyes of the spectators, one silver and one white collided in less than a breath.

"Clang, clang!!"

The horizontal saber and the long spear collided, Gangjin transmitted, colliding in the dark, and large sparks splashed on the surface.

Both sides fought several rounds in a row within a second.

Two completely different Gangjin also flowed in the weapons.

Lin Qi could feel a tricky Gangjin, extremely poisonous, wanting to tear his blood vessels.

But they were all washed away by his fierce Rending Mountain Gangjin.

And Ao Chi Quan's expression changed slightly, his heart shocked:

"What's going on, why is Lin Qi's spear technique so flexible and agile?"

"My moves were actually all blocked?"

He had a bad premonition, then continued to launch attacks, while simultaneously activating his body technique—"Ghost Shadow Step."

His leg muscles exerted force, his footsteps changed, cooperating with the "Ghost Shadow Saber Technique," and his whole person shuttled through the arena like a ghost.

In an instant, he seemed to have split into more than a dozen figures, while brandishing the horizontal saber, the saber light circling around Ao Chi Quan's body like a shadow.

Clearly in the spacious and bright arena, it seemed as if an illusion had appeared, dizzying, unable to determine true or false.

Lin Qi narrowed his eyes, feeling troublesome for the first time.

In the leadership spectator stands, the middle-aged beauty in purple smiled.

"Ao Chi Quan practices the 'Ghost Shadow Saber Technique,' and the body technique is 'Ghost Shadow Step'."

"Saber technique and body technique complement each other, merging into one, and the effect of adding them together is more powerful than a single secret manual."

"The whole person has turned into a ghost, and Ao Chi Quan is also at the peak of the Second Realm at this time, and the speed has exceeded 30m/s."

"Forming phantoms under high-speed eruption, like a ghost, simply impossible to block," she explained, revealing a confident smile.

"However, the current situation doesn't seem to be the case, Ao Chi Quan seems to have fallen into a disadvantage," Liu Yuanzhang said suddenly.

Everyone's gaze turned toward the arena, and the battle in the arena seemed to have undergone an unexpected change in an instant.

In the arena, Ao Chi Quan looked at Lin Qi who was colliding with him, looking for an opportunity for a one-hit kill.

"Boom!!"

Both sides pulled away again, and Lin Qi retreated.

Ao Chi Quan, who had finished accumulating power, approached forward.

Good opportunity!

Suddenly the speed erupted again, his wrist exerted force, and the saber light split into more than a dozen.
