Chapter 81: Increasingly Tacit Coordination, Advancing to the Finals!

As the battle progressed, Wang Jiahao's expression grew increasingly unsightly.

Originally, he had merely regarded Luo Shuiyan as a vase with some cultivation.

Although she could be considered a rare genius among the freshmen.

Compared to him, a senior, she simply could not be mentioned in the same breath.

But now that they were exchanging blows, Wang Jiahao realized he had been completely wrong.

It turned out that yesterday, when Luo Shuiyan fought Lang Sanping, she hadn't used her full strength at all! Bang! Bang! Bang! The sounds of their clash roared incessantly, yet no matter how Wang Jiahao attacked, he couldn't even touch the hem of Luo Shuiyan's clothes.

Every single time, Luo Shuiyan was able to accurately predict Wang Jiahao's attacks.

Relying on her rich combat experience, she neutralized the opponent's attacks with minimal expenditure.

Perhaps among the students of Tianque Academy, Wang Jiahao could already be considered a rare expert.

But in Luo Shuiyan's eyes, this level of combat was no different from children playing house.

Seeing the slightly disdainful look in Luo Shuiyan's eyes, Wang Jiahao could no longer endure it and finally summoned his Spirit Beast.

Before him appeared a thirty-seventh-level wind-attribute Cloud Leopard with wind-swept paws! Originally, Wang Jiahao hadn't intended to use his Spirit Beast, but he hadn't expected Luo Shuiyan's strength to be so formidable.

Now, Wang Jiahao could no longer care about saving face; winning the victory was the key.

As soon as this black Cloud Leopard appeared, it charged toward Luo Shuiyan with lightning speed, like a gale.

Even Luo Shuiyan couldn't help but shrink her pupils at such terrifying speed.

"Fight him well, don't lose face for me!"

The moment Jiang Che's voice fell, Luo Shuiyan felt a powerful force exerted upon her body.

Not only was her body filled with immense strength, but it was as if she had wind beneath her feet and was as light as a swallow! Seeing the Cloud Leopard reach her, Luo Shuiyan merely leaped lightly, skimming over the top of the Cloud Leopard's head and skillfully dodging the attack.

Bang! A loud noise rang out; although the Cloud Leopard stopped in time, it failed to brake and crashed into an ancient tree behind it.

The Cloud Leopard's golden pupils were filled with shock; it hadn't expected Luo Shuiyan to suddenly increase her speed, catching it off guard.

However, any mistake on the battlefield was enough to decide the outcome.

Luo Shuiyan tapped her toes on the ground and instantly arrived above the Cloud Leopard's head.

A powerful flame fluctuation surged from her palm, and she slammed a heavy blow onto the back of the Cloud Leopard's head.

Accompanied by a loud bang, the Cloud Leopard was engulfed in large flames all over its body.

It was smashed directly into the ground by Luo Shuiyan's palm and knocked unconscious.

At this moment, Wang Jiahao had just rushed over, and seeing this scene, he was completely stunned.

Although his Spirit Beast was a wind-attribute speed type, its physical body was equally formidable.

He hadn't expected it to be slapped down by Luo Shuiyan with a single palm.

In the moment Wang Jiahao was stunned, Luo Shuiyan raised her hand and two Flame Phoenixes flew out, directly obscuring Wang Jiahao's vision.

Just as Wang Jiahao wanted to dodge, he felt a surge of spiritual power behind him.

He swung the long sword in his hand to counterattack, but it was knocked away by Luo Shuiyan.

Immediately after, Luo Shuiyan slapped his neck.

Had she not restrained her spiritual power, this strike would have broken his neck!

Wang Jiahao knelt on the ground, feeling a lingering fear.

He hadn't expected to be defeated just like that; facing the freshman Luo Shuiyan, if she hadn't held back, he might have even lost his life!

"Stunning, truly stunning!"

"Is this the person Dean Guo thinks highly of?"

"You have to know that there is a full six-star difference in cultivation, and Wang Jiahao is no mediocre person either!"

Luo Shuiyan's terrifying combat awareness made the academy elders unable to help but feel very excited.

The appearance of such a genius was a great blessing for Tianque Academy! Meanwhile, the others were not falling behind either.

After their previous battles and coordination, the combat awareness and mutual tacit understanding between Lin Xue'er and the other two had improved significantly.

At this moment, Lin Xue'er had unknowingly converged with Yi Zimeng. Although they had struggled during their one-on-one duels.

Once it became a 2v2, the complementarity of their skills manifested its power at this very moment.

"Myriad Snake Entanglement!"

Yi Zimeng waved her hands, and instantly a purple Array bound the two people in front of her.

Within this Array were countless phantom snakes, acting like ropes to restrain the opponents.

This was a group control skill Yi Zimeng learned after signing a contract with the Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python.

The two people from the Wealthy Team wanted to have their Spirit Beasts return to assist.

But the Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python relied on its formidable physical body to forcibly hold the opponents back.

Coupled with the harassment of the Yindiao, the two Spirit Beasts could not return to their Beast Tamer's side.

Just like that, the two members of the Wealthy Team could only watch helplessly as Lin Xue'er's body became incomparably holy.

She raised her hands toward the sky, and immediately after, a huge starlight flashed in the heavens!

"Starfall!"

This was a skill Lin Xue'er had obtained from an Ancient Inheritance.

Its power was immense; the only drawback was that the release time was a bit slow, and it could not be interrupted during the casting process.

But Yi Zimeng's martial arts skill happened to fill this gap for her.

As Lin Xue'er finished channeling, the starlight instantly smashed toward the two.

The two from the Wealthy Team finally broke free from Yi Zimeng's restraints, but it was already too late.

Bang! With a loud noise, a deep pit instantly appeared on the ground.

And the two from the Wealthy Team were knocked flying, losing their combat effectiveness.

Now, on the battlefield, only Hu Xiaoxiao and her opponent remained.

Hu Xiaoxiao and Little Tiger were simply like two reckless brutes.

They seized their opponent and unleashed a frantic assault, not caring at all about the injuries on their own bodies.

Even though she looked like a little girl, her fighting style was extremely ferocious.

Even the members of this wealthy clan team were feeling a bit timid at this moment.

After all, this was just a competition; no one else was risking their life like Hu Xiaoxiao.

In the end, because he harbored reservations, Hu Xiaoxiao achieved victory.

Watching the few of them, Luo Shuiyan felt very gratified in her heart; the growth speed of the three could be said to be very fast.

The two-day competition ended, and tomorrow would be the point-based matches for the final three teams.

"Speaking of which, which team is it that hasn't shown up at all?"

"They've had a bye twice in a row; I'm afraid there might be something fishy going on, right?"

Hu Xiaoxiao furrowed her brows, feeling a bit suspicious in her heart.

"It's very normal; perhaps the academy has already tacitly accepted that that team is the best, so they arranged for them to have a bye."

Yi Zimeng shrugged and said; having seen the methods of major powers often, she did not find this strange.

"Zimeng is right!"

"That team with the bye is indeed the strongest among the teams participating this year!"

Luo Shuiyan possessed memories of her past life.

The team that had the bye was named Magic Bear Team, because their captain had contracted a Spirit Beast with a Master Grade bloodline, a Magic Bear! That Magic Bear possessed the bloodline of the Demon Race and belonged to a mutated species, containing the ferocity of a Magic Beast in its bloodline! Watching Luo Shuiyan and the others leave, several academy elders looked at each other and said in deep voices.

"What do you say, can the Rose Maiden Team led by this Luo Shuiyan still produce a miracle tomorrow?"

"It's very difficult! Li Xiong is a genius carefully cultivated by the Dean, and he is now only one step away from entering the King-level Beast Master stage!"
