Chapter 243

In the spectator stands of Shanyu Shanyu Wuda.

Liang Yuxin was teleported back to her seat; she lowered her head, using her silver hair to block her face.

Letting her friends in the same academy not see the expression on her face at this time.

She grabbed her hair, feeling the tearing pain of her scalp, which made her feel real.

She lost!

Losing to Lin Qi, her speed and force-neutralizing technique of overcoming hardness with softness completely lost their effect when facing Lin Qi's fierce power.

She suddenly remembered what her teacher had said not long ago:

"Yuxin, neutralizing force is just a combat technique; it can be practiced, but don't immerse yourself in it; sword art is the key."

"When you face top experts, they possess terrifying power and unparalleled destructive power; your force-neutralizing technique is not enough to look at in front of them."

She didn't take it seriously at the time, thinking her technique was invincible in the same realm.

Now it seems the teacher was right; she was sitting in a well and looking at the sky.

……

【Second match: Lin Qi (Cangqiong) wins!】

Above the arena, the intelligent voice announced the result without emotion.

"Let us congratulate contestant Lin Qi from Cangqiong Shanyu Wuda; he successfully defeated contestant Liang Yuxin from Shanyu Shanyu Wuda, forcefully advancing to the tenth round, becoming the second top-nine contestant!"

"This struggle between the strongest of the two major universities also finally had a result."

"Let us congratulate contestant Lin Qi!"

The voice of Vice Dean Xu Wenji also resounded in the ears of everyone in the spectator stands.

"Clap clap!!"

Applause rose one after another in the spectator stands, as well as tsunami-like shouting.

"Lin Qi is still terrifyingly stable; I almost thought he was going to lose, but as soon as he exerted force, Liang Yuxin couldn't hold on."

"It was right to be optimistic about Lin Qi; only he carries an invincible momentum. Except for the two geniuses who awakened special abilities, he is the strongest!"

"Lin Qi is too powerful!!"

Countless spectators in the spectator stands marveled at Lin Qi's strength, and their feeling for experts became more intuitive.

If they went up, they would all be instantly killed.

This is the strength of Xia Guo's top geniuses!

……

In the spectator stands of Minghai Shanyu Wuda, Wei Peng, who was burly like a wild bear, also applauded and revealed a smile.

Now Huo Wanyang, him, Liang Yuxin, the top graduate, second place, and third place of the college entrance examination have all been defeated by Lin Qi.

He felt much better now; everyone lost, so there was nothing to be ashamed of.

From the beginning of the battle, he knew Liang Yuxin couldn't win.

Lin Qi's power was stronger than his; how could he be defeated by such means as neutralizing force.

Then he looked at Li Hanjiang in the distance; if Li Hanjiang also lost, he would feel even more comfortable.

……

In the leadership spectator area, the moment Liang Yuxin lost, the woman in yellow's face suddenly turned gloomy.

"It seems the so-called strongest of Shanyu Shanyu Wuda was actually eliminated in the ninth round."

The woman in purple from Cangqiong Nine Academies smiled and spoke.

"It seems I was right; Liang Yuxin's force-neutralizing is fine, and the 'Flowing Water Sword Art' is also very powerful."

"But encountering Lin Qi, although this set of methods restrains him, if the strength is not enough, it will be counter-restrained instead," Dean Liu said with a smile.

People around could hear the showing off in his tone.

The people of Shanyu Shanyu Wuda were silent and didn't speak.

This National Freshman Competition might refresh their school's worst record.

The strongest Liang Yuxin was eliminated in the 18-to-9, and only Zhong Xinyan and Tan Peier remained.

If Tan Peier could win the championship, their faces would look better; if not, the scene would be simply unimaginable.

……

In a corner of the Shanyu Shanyu Wuda spectator stands, Tan Peier with pink hair revealed a disdainful smile.

"Really embarrassing for our Shanyu Shanyu Wuda."

"If I went up, I could solve Lin Qi in a few moves."

"Liang Yuxin is still too weak."

……

In a corner of the spectator stands, the three geniuses of the Ten Academies also watched the whole battle.

Han Zhen with a round face revealed a smile: "This Lin Qi's strength is very strong, his power is very strong, and his moves are extremely destructive; this is his advantage."

"But once he faces me, these advantages will disappear."

The two people beside him didn't refute; they also thought so.

Lin Qi is just an ordinary genius after all.

He didn't awaken a special ability; he wouldn't understand.

……

In the spectator stands of Cangqiong Six Academies.

Lin Qi was teleported back, and Jiang Tao and others became lively again.

"Lin Lin Qi Ge, you actually entangled with Liang Yuxin for more than 40 moves; you disappointed me too much."

Jiang Tao shook his head, very unwilling to lose 100 Xia Guo coins.

Lin Qi also revealed a smile: "Liang Yuxin is not weak; I couldn't control it when we fought."

The real reason was that he was still adapting to the minor divine ability, wasting some time.

And Liang Yuxin did cause him quite a bit of trouble; the opponent's body technique and sword art had both broken through to the third stage.

The "Flowing Water Sword Art" is good at neutralizing force, combining fast and slow; the difficulty of successfully defeating her is very high.

Only he could easily defeat her.

Others encountering Liang Yuxin, except for Li Hanjiang, would likely lose in her hands.

Lin Qi clenched his fists; now entering the tenth round, his opponents were getting fewer and fewer.

Li Hanjiang, Tan Peier, and Han Zhen were also about to face the three of them.

……

The ninth round of the competition was still continuing, and the nine matches were proceeding very fast.

Because the two Ten Academies geniuses, Tan Peier and Han Zhen, once again displayed strength far exceeding others. They crushed and defeated their opponents again, easily advancing to the tenth round.

Another half hour later.

"Students and teachers, the ninth round officially ends here."

Xu Wenji appeared, projecting a screen in his hand, leaving only nine names:

【Lin Qi, Han Zhen, Tan Peier, Li Hanjiang, Huo Wanyang, Ao Feng, Zhong Xinyan, Yi Shaojie, Duan Chuchu.】

Looking at the nine names, the students of Cangqiong Shanyu Wuda were extremely excited; among the top nine, their Cangqiong Shanyu Wuda occupied five people.

Minghai Shanyu Wuda only had one person left, Shanyu Shanyu Wuda still had two, and Xia Yu Shanyu Wuda had one.

Minghai, which was faintly ranked second among the three top universities, only had Li Hanjiang left.

The spectator stands also started discussing.

"Cangqiong Shanyu Wuda is worthy of being Xia Guo's number one martial university; its overall strength is indeed strong."

"Minghai Shanyu Wuda had bad luck; Wei Peng was eliminated early, and there were no geniuses who awakened special abilities participating."

!

……

In the spectator stands of Minghai Shanyu Wuda.

Li Hanjiang saw the top nine list and said with a calm expression: "So what if it's just me? When I suppress everyone and win the championship, our Minghai will still be the biggest winner."

"The current situation is just a little bit of wind and frost."

……

"We are going to proceed to the tenth round next; the successfully advancing contestants will receive a prize of 8 million Xia Guo coins."

"At the same time, because we have nine contestants, according to the competition rules, one contestant will have a bye directly into the eleventh round."

"After all, luck is also a part of strength."

"Now the tenth round officially begins!"

After Xu Wenji announced loudly, the nine names turned into virtual figures, jumping onto the board that appeared, pairing up two by two, forming a brand-new match schedule.

Only one virtual figure jumped into Xu Wenji's hand, and the name above its head was exceptionally conspicuous.

【Tenth round: Lin Qi (Cangqiong) bye!】

……

"Let us congratulate contestant Lin Qi for successfully having a bye!" Xu Wenji announced loudly.

"Lin Lin Qi Ge, you have a bye!" The people of Cangqiong Six Academies were also very happy.

Every round Lin Qi advances, the points he gets are more; when the final points are ranked, their Six Academies' ranking will only be higher, maybe even ranked first.

Although they had confidence in Lin Qi's strength.

But facing Tan Peier and Han Zhen, they would still likely lose.

And next, the probability of being matched against the two is not low.

Lin Qi looked at the new match schedule with a calm expression; no matter who he was matched against, he would go to the end.

【First match: Li Hanjiang (Minghai) vs Duan Chuchu (Cangqiong)】

【Second match: Han Zhen (Cangqiong) vs Yi Shaojie (Xia Yu)】

【Third match: Tan Peier (Shanyu) vs Ao Feng (Cangqiong)】

【Fourth match: Huo Wanyang (Cangqiong) vs Zhong Xinyan (Shanyu)】

……

Once this match schedule came out, Ao Feng and Yi Shaojie's faces changed greatly.

Being matched against Tan Peier and Han Zhen, they were almost eliminated.

They couldn't go to the eleventh round.

However, being able to reach this round was already their limit; they couldn't beat the remaining two either.

……

Fifteen minutes later, the tenth round of the main competition ended!

Tan Peier and Han Zhen still forcefully defeated Ao Feng and Yi Shaojie to advance.

In the spectator stands, Ao Feng said to others with an ugly face:

"The champion this time is destined to be Han Zhen; he is too strong, and Lin Qi can't beat him either."

……

"Students and teachers, the competition has now reached the eleventh round."

"These five contestants will compete for the final championship in the upcoming battles."

"Our competition is also getting more and more exciting."

In Xu Wenji's palm, five virtual figures were floating.

【Lin Qi, Han Zhen, Tan Peier, Li Hanjiang, Huo Wanyang.】

"In our eleventh round, two contestants will be eliminated, and only three will enter the semi-finals."

"Now one contestant can directly enter the semi-finals."

After Xu Wenji finished speaking, the five virtual figures spun.

Soon, one of them fell into his palm.

【Semi-finals: Tan Peier (Shanyu)】

The remaining four fell onto the virtual arena, forming two matches.

【First match: Han Zhen (Cangqiong) vs Huo Wanyang (Cangqiong)】

【Second match: Lin Qi (Cangqiong) vs Li Hanjiang (Minghai)】

……

"Let us congratulate contestant Tan Peier from Shanyu Shanyu Wuda for successfully having a bye, directly entering the semi-finals."

After Xu Wenji finished speaking, the spectator stands had no reaction, only Tan Peier shook her head and laughed:

"Boring; if I were matched against Han Zhen directly, I would eliminate him in the eleventh round, so he wouldn't even enter the semi-finals; that would be interesting."

……

The spectator stands were noisy again when they saw the match schedule, and Xu Wenji didn't hesitate, directly letting the two contestants of the first match go up.

"Next, let us invite the two contestants from Cangqiong Shanyu Wuda, who are Huo Wanyang and Han Zhen!"

At this time, Huo Wanyang in the spectator stands had a solemn expression; his body's root bone was the limit of an ordinary genius.

But facing a genius who awakened a special ability, he was still a grade behind.

The next second, his gaze suddenly became firm; he wanted to see what Han Zhen's strength was.
