Chapter 53: You Can't Win (Seeking Follow-up Reads)

7:30 PM, the evening breeze was cool.

Tianhai No. 2 High School, everyone was in the classroom for evening self-study.

In the Virtual Room, the 50 people of the Elite Class and the martial arts teacher Zhang Cheng had all arrived.

Ten virtual pods, plus a newly renovated one, a total of eleven virtual pods were placed quietly.

In the middle, a huge screen was projected, showing a small, empty, white arena.

Amidst the noisy sound, Zhang Cheng crossed his arms and swept over the ten people, including Li Zhou and Lin Qi, then spoke slowly:

"The exchange tournament is about to begin. After everyone logs into the Red Realm, enter the Tianhai official website and find the link for the martial arts exchange tournament."

After speaking, he entered the brand-new virtual pod first.

The other ten people also entered their respective virtual pods, Lin Qi included.

Log into the Red Realm, search for the Tianhai official website in the panel of the personal space, find the link for the martial arts exchange tournament, and click to enter.

"Whoosh!"

The next moment, the space around him shifted, and Lin Qi was pulled out and teleported to another area.

When he steadied himself and looked around, he was already in the spectator area, and the seat next to him was Jiang Tao.

In front of him was a circular, white arena in a style similar to ancient Rome.

"Is this the scene of the martial arts exchange tournament? I didn't expect it to be connected online," Jiang Tao felt amazed, looking around.

"People from Songbai High School are here!"

Zhu Yuqi looked ahead and suddenly spoke.

Everyone looked, and on the spectator area opposite, eleven figures appeared out of thin air.

Seven men and three women, plus a male teacher.

The men were either tall and robust or sharp-edged; the women were either tall and sharp or lively. They looked over with arrogant expressions.

Neither side spoke, observing each other with vigilance, and the air was filled with a tense atmosphere.

"Eh?"

But Lin Qi saw an acquaintance here—Fast Sword!

An expert he matched with in the Red Realm yesterday, who used a fast sword, left a little impression on him.

He didn't expect the opponent to be a student of Songbai High School, now participating in the exchange tournament.

"Songbai High School wouldn't all be at his level, right?"

This made Lin Qi start to doubt Songbai High School's combat level.

Zhang Cheng stepped onto the arena and met the teacher from the other school.

The leader opposite was a middle-aged man with a hooked nose, a lean figure, and a gloomy temperament, whose aura was also not weak.

"Hello!"

Both sides shook hands happily and introduced themselves.

"Tianhai No. 2 High School, Zhang Cheng!"

"Songbai High School, Cao Bin!"

"I hope that for this exchange tournament, friendship comes first and competition second, and everyone can gain something."

"That is natural!"

Both sides smiled happily, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

After separating and turning back to the spectator area, Cao Bin's face changed instantly, and he sneered:

"Tianhai No. 2 High School, let them see the strength of our Songbai, and let them forget this exchange tournament for the rest of the month."

"What level are they to be worthy of a martial arts exchange with our Songbai?"

"Understood, Teacher Cao!" Several people revealed cruel smiles.

On the other side

After Zhang Cheng returned, his smile disappeared instantly, like a Sichuan opera face change, and he grinned:

"You guys represent No. 2 High School this time, representing the entire Tianhai City."

"No matter what, fight for your lives to win."

"Don't worry, Teacher Zhang, I will make them open their eyes."

Jiang Tao rubbed his hands and revealed a confident smile.

"That's right, maybe we win six games directly, and the others don't have to fight."

Someone made a confident declaration.

Zhang Cheng nodded, not hitting the crowd, but looking at the arena, feeling very worried inside.

Songbai High School is, after all, a second-tier high school in Bai Lu City. In terms of overall strength, to be honest, their No. 2 High School is not as good as the opponent.

Whether they can win, he has no bottom line, and can only look at the students themselves.

【Martial Arts Exchange Tournament Rules】

【Students from both schools take the stage according to the list, and the school with the most wins wins the victory!】

【Please have the first contestant take the stage!】

The intelligent female voice sounded in the air, Lin Qi narrowed his eyes, preparing to take the stage.

According to the rules, in the order of the list, from weak to strong, he was tenth, which meant he was the first to take the stage.

"Lin Lin Qi Ge, can you win?"

Jiang Tao asked with a serious expression.

"Yes!" Lin Qi nodded.

Jiang Tao revealed a smile: "I knew it!"

The next instant, Lin Qi disappeared from the spot and appeared in the arena.

【Student Lin Qi, you have thirty seconds of preparation time, please choose your weapon!】

Lin Qi looked at the panel in front of him and chose the familiar black great spear without hesitation.

At the same time, Songbai High School area. "Fan Yong, blow him up in the first game, let him know the power of our Songbai!"

Someone said.

Fan Yong had a square face and looked quite honest. At this time, he revealed an excited smile and patted his chest: "Don't worry, leave it to me."

After speaking, he was also teleported to the arena.

"Wait!"

Liang Kai just wanted to speak, but Fan Yong had already taken the stage. He sighed and looked at Lin Qi on the field with a serious gaze.

"Really too similar!"

Black combat suit, black long spear, even the figure and temperament were similar, except for not wearing a black mask.

It was exactly the same as the person who defeated him yesterday.

"If it's really him, Brother Yong will be in trouble."

!

"But Brother Yong's saber technique has already broken through to the second stage, he should be able to win, right?"

Cao Lin, not far away, revealed an insidious smile: "Fan Yong's strength is very strong. If it weren't for his Qi-blood value and cultural course grades holding him back, he wouldn't be ranked tenth in the grade."

"With his second-stage saber technique, he will definitely be able to bring a good start and hit the opponent's momentum hard."

On the arena

Fan Yong wore a black-red combat suit and brandished a battle saber. His great saber was long and wide, a horse-head saber.

He was tall, nearly two meters, with broad shoulders and thick arms, possessing a temperament like a giant rock.

Fan Yong's honest face grinned:

"No. 2 High School, let me show you my Fan Yong's saber technique."

Lin Qi said calmly: "Clown!"

"You guy is really looking for death!" Fan Yong was instantly displeased.

【Competition about to begin!】

【3, 2, 1...】

【First competition officially begins!】

"Boom!"

Fan Yong stepped on the earth with a big step, his body erupted and charged out, like a giant rock rolling, the great saber cutting through the long sky, carrying the momentum of a heavy mountain.

In an instant, Lin Qi also charged out at the same time. His figure flashed, stepping forward.

Holding the spear with one hand, advancing to a certain distance, he gripped the long spear tightly with both hands, the spear tip shook, power poured in, and he brandished it fiercely.

This time it was Lin Qi who launched the attack first.

Fan Yong smiled slightly, brandishing the great saber. His movements were steady and slow, like a mountain rising from the ground.

Holding the saber from bottom to top, he swung out with an extremely stable arc, forming a perfect defensive circle.

Rock Unmoved!

"Clang, clang~"

Lin Qi thrust out more than ten spears continuously with astonishing arm strength, but they were all blocked by the defensive circle formed by Fan Yong brandishing the battle saber.

"You can't break my defense!"

Fan Yong's saber edge danced, steady as a rock, standing still himself.

"Boom!"

"Boom, boom, boom~"

At the same time, his moves were open and close, his power was majestic, and when he swung the saber, he brought up waves of wind, as if possessing the power of a thousand jun.

When the great spear and the battle saber collided, it was accompanied by a powerful force rebounding back.

"Clang, clang~~"

Lin Qi made several moves in succession, all of which were blocked, and at the same time, a force rebounded, making his arms numb.

Fan Yong saw this and revealed a proud smile.

"I said it, you can't break my defense!"

In the spectator area, Jiang Tao's expression was serious.

"Damn, Lin Lin Qi Ge is in trouble."

"This guy named Fan Yong is very strong. His saber technique has already broken through to the second stage. Lin Lin Qi Ge can't break his defense."

Also practicing the "Heavy Mountain Saber Technique," Jiang Tao knew this saber technique too well.

So he could see that Fan Yong's strength was extremely strong, and even if he went up, he wouldn't dare say he could win.

"Lin Qi will probably lose the first game."

Yu Jing shook his head and expressed his point of view.

"It's just the beginning, and you're jumping to conclusions. Do you know again?" Li Zhou retorted.

Yu Jing's face was livid, and when he wanted to retort, he was interrupted by Zhang Cheng:

"Don't jump to conclusions. The battle process is ever-changing. Don't jump to conclusions until the last moment."

"It's the same on the battlefield."

Zhang Cheng said in a deep voice.

Others nodded and continued to look at the field.

Zhang Cheng frowned. He had quite a bit of confidence in Lin Qi, but he couldn't guarantee Lin Qi could win.

He could only continue to watch.
