Chapter 144

On the competition platform.

Zhou Yi, who defeated Liu Jing, did not leave, scanned the crowd below, and said:

"Those who want to challenge me, come on."

The battle between the first-place freshman and the twentieth-ranked student attracted the attention of many freshmen.

After Liu Jing sadly failed and left the field, the number of freshmen surrounding the competition platform did not decrease, and this was still the central venue.

But when Zhou Yi's indifferent words sounded, they were met with silence.

According to the list ranking, freshmen can be roughly divided into three echelons.

Students who only cleared the Nightmare difficulty are considered the weakest third echelon, ranked around 80th.

Those from 80th to 10th who cleared the Abyss difficulty are considered the second echelon.

The first echelon includes the top ten, including the top scorers of each province.

And Zhou Yi is naturally a powerful figure standing at the very front of the first echelon.

Originally, after Liu Jing proposed that Zhou Yi achieved such results because of attribute restraint, quite a few people were eager to try.

But after seeing Liu Jing, who was ranked relatively high in the second echelon, killed in seconds, they immediately gave up.

There's no way, the gap is simply too big...

"With Zhou Yi's strength, only the provincial top scorer should be able to rival him."

This is everyone's unanimous thought.

To challenge the provincial top scorer, one's "913" strength should also be at the provincial top scorer level...

"Zhou Yi's strength can indeed suppress the arrogance of these heaven-gifted talents."

"But I don't know who will be the first to strike."

The many teachers on the ceremonial platform were also looking forward to it.

If special admission students are the batch of people with the most arrogance among all freshmen, then the status of provincial top scorers among special admission students is even more unique.

They come from various provinces in the Central Xia Kingdom, and the college entrance exam questions were all different.

They also have many other opinions about the default ranking after reporting.

Now in the Freshman Grand Competition, although they cleared the same dungeon and were ranked according to the dungeon clear time.

But without really having a fight, these people probably won't be convinced by Zhou Yi's first-place freshman title.

"Here it comes..."

Without making everyone wait too long, the crowded crowd below automatically separated.

A figure wearing crimson armor walked out, aiming directly at the competition platform.

He was handsome and fair, with fiery red hair that was very conspicuous, and the smile on his face was slightly wanton and arrogant.

His right hand tightly gripped a black battle knife, and the sharp blade reflected a chilling feeling.

"Huh, it's actually Shen Lingfeng!"

"Didn't expect him to be the first to challenge."

"Also, although he is not a provincial top scorer, his strength is about the same as a provincial top scorer."

Contrary to everyone's expectations, the first to challenge was not the provincial top scorers from other provinces.

But Shen Lingfeng, who was ranked third.

This young man from the Ning'an family possesses an extremely rare Flame Dragon bloodline.

He changed his profession to a Berserker as early as the age of 17.

Several college entrance exam simulation trainings were undoubtedly the first place in Suhang Province.

If it weren't for Zhou Yi's sudden appearance, the final winner of the college entrance exam would have been him.

Unfortunately, reality has no ifs...

Zhou Yi's appearance caused him to only be ranked after Zhou Yi, becoming the second place in the Suhang Province college entrance exam.

However, although he didn't win the title of top scorer, his strength, in the minds of many, was already no different from a provincial top scorer.

"Come on, Zhou Yi, let's see who is stronger!"

With a wanton smile, Shen Lingfeng walked onto the competition platform.

It must be said that this third-ranked Berserker is indeed extremely strong.

Although there was a wanton smile on the corner of his mouth, as soon as he stood on the competition platform, his aura changed, and there were no more flaws in his whole body.

Shen Lingfeng belongs to the first echelon, so he naturally wouldn't be killed in seconds like Liu Jing.

In this way, a great battle between the first and third place can be witnessed.

For a time, many people began to look forward to the next battle.

"Paladin vs. Berserker, who do you think will win?"

"That must be the Berserker! Zhou Yi is strong, but this is based on him stacking his buffs. Now it's a ring match, not a dungeon run. As soon as the match starts, the Berserker has already dashed over, where would he give you time to add buffs?"

"That's true, the Berserker is an absolute output position, even more violent than the Retribution Knight, plus the other party's Flame Dragon bloodline, I'm afraid this level will be a bit difficult for Zhou Yi to pass."

"Not necessarily, Zhou Yi is not a fool, he wouldn't go head-to-head with Shen Lingfeng right from the start."

"..."

The battle hasn't started yet.

The people below began to predict the direction of the next battle.

Most people's words were not optimistic about Zhou Yi.

After all, they have all watched Zhou Yi's college entrance exam dungeon clear video and know that his full-state requires the application of many buff skills.

In an open dungeon, perhaps they would give you time to circle around and apply buff skills.

But on a 10-meter x 10-meter competition platform, it is very troublesome to circle around.

Plus Shen Lingfeng is a Berserker profession, dash and output are both not bad.

It is even less likely that he will give Zhou Yi a chance to apply buffs.

Of course.

There are also quite a few people who firmly believe in Zhou Yi's strength, thinking that he will definitely be able to defeat Shen Lingfeng.

And among these people, Jiang Churan is naturally the most certain one.

After all, she knows Zhou Yi's true strength very well...

"Do you want to rest for five minutes first?"

On the competition platform, the referee instructor asked Zhou Yi.

"No need." Zhou Yi shook his head.

The magic power in his body had already recovered during the time he was waiting on the playground after coming out of the dungeon.

He only used one Pure White Blade skill to deal with Liu Jing.

The mana consumed by this skill is not much, and in just a short while, the magic power in his body has almost become full again.

"That's good."

The referee instructor stepped down and started the competition platform.

The energy protective shield slowly rose, and the countdown that sounded again also made the surrounding people end their discussion and focus on watching the next battle.

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

"Start!"

The duel between the first and third place is naturally the focus of the whole audience.

Not only was the stage below full of freshmen, but even the freshmen who were fighting on other competition platforms subconsciously stopped at the same time and looked over.

On the ceremonial platform, the deans and instructors also stared at the two people on the stage with expectant expressions.

On the competition platform, the two were separated by eight meters, standing opposite each other.

Accompanied by the electronic prompt sound of 'Start!'.

Shen Lingfeng raised his right hand first, and then the entire one-meter-long black battle knife slashed fiercely at Zhou Yi!!

Before the battle knife fell, it was wrapped in crimson scorching flames with a bang!!

Subsequently...

An arc-shaped flame blade about one meter long was swung out like a crescent moon, slashing at Zhou Yi at a speed exceeding sound!

Bang!!

It wasn't until the crescent blade slashed a huge crack in the energy shield facing it that the freshmen under the stage reacted.. ........

"So fast!"

"This must be the Berserker's Crimson Flame Slash! What a fierce blade light!"

Fast!

Too fast!

Compared to Liu Jing, Shen Lingfeng's offensive was more than twice as fast!

However, what surprised them even more was that Zhou Yi still dodged it with an extremely fast reaction speed, making this blade light miss.

"He didn't even move his lower body..."

"Too confident."
