Chapter 277

Of course, many in the audience were still cheering and shouting for their idol, Zhou Yi.

"Hmm? To actually choose to go head-to-head with Wei He—it seems this Zhou Yi is very confident in his own strength."

In a corner of the spectator stands.

The woman from the Heavenly Feather Guild with the curvaceous figure raised her willow-leaf eyebrows slightly, and a look of relief appeared on her pretty face:

"But then again, a student of the old guild leader naturally has his extraordinary points..."

"Zhou Yi has chosen to go head-to-head! Wei He has a chance!"

In the rest area.

Su Rui, the team leader for Modu University, had eyes that lit up.

In this way, Wei He's win rate would reach at least 60%!

"However, Zhou Yi is no fool. Choosing to strike like this shows he is extremely confident in his own strength."

"Next, we shall see if Zhou Yi's strength is truly worthy of such confidence."

Although she hoped in her heart that Wei He would win the singles championship, Su Rui was very clear.

For Zhou Yi to make such a choice, he must have a certain level of confidence in his own strength!

On the arena stage.

Facing the charging Wei He, Zhou Yi, who was also sprinting, gripped the empty air with his left hand:

"Spear of Victory!"

*Hum—*

Light elements gathered rapidly, condensing into a spear of holy light!

*Whoosh!

Under Zhou Yi's formidable strength, the Spear of Victory turned into a phantom, shooting toward Wei He like a powerful arrow from a heavy bow!

"Spear of Victory? Useless!"

Under the buff of an 80% damage reduction effect, Wei He's confidence swelled; he didn't even dodge this Spear of Holy Light!!

*Bang!

The Spear of Holy Light collided with the red *gangqi*, and after piercing through, its violent aura instantly weakened by more than half!!

*Clang!

The severely weakened Spear of Victory struck Wei He's lower leg but failed to penetrate the protection of his light armor.

It merely left a golden mark on the light armor before turning into specks of light elements and vanishing into the air.

"Haha, I told you your Spear of Victory is useless!"

Wei He laughed heartily.

"The Spear of Victory is useless? Then what about this?"

With a faint smile, Zhou Yi lightly touched his brow with his left hand, and the cross-shaped holy light brand lit up:

"Punishment of Light!"

*Boom!!

Around Zhou Yi's tall, slender body, a large number of tiny electric arcs and thunderbolts flickered out of thin air, as if tearing through space.

At the same time, above the entire arena, a golden thundercloud rapidly condensed.

*Rumble~~~*

Within this golden thundercloud, dull peals of thunder sounded continuously.

The entire stadium was shrouded in a low-pressure atmosphere, as if a storm were about to break.

"Punishment of Light?"

Wei He's gaze narrowed; in yesterday's battle, Zhou Yi had used this skill to summon thunder and eliminate the mage Mu You.

He had a very deep impression of it.

"Thunder power is undoubtedly the most powerful means of attack."

"However, Punishment of Light requires at least a second of chanting cooldown for every thunderbolt summoned."

"In that case, I just need to take advantage of the cooldown gap to quickly defeat Zhou Yi."

Wei He, whose speed had slowed slightly due to the Spear of Victory, accelerated once more.

Just then, Zhou Yi's low voice rang out:

"Thunder, come!"

With a low roar, the golden cloud above the arena, which had condensed to its limit, poured its thunderous power down upon Wei He under Zhou Yi's control!

*Crackle!

Accompanied by terrifying pressure, the entire stadium suddenly lit up, and a thick golden lightning bolt twisted down from the sky with lightning speed!

0 0...

The sound produced by the lightning strike made people's eardrums ache, and the dazzling, flickering light made people unable to help but squint!

The speed of lightning is the speed of light!

Wei He had no way to dodge; this thunderous strike hit him squarely!!

*Rumble!!

The dazzling golden thunder covered the red *gangqi*. Even after the 80% damage reduction, the electric arcs that seeped through to Wei He made him feel a slight numbness and intense pain.

"What a powerful lightning attack!"

Wei He exclaimed in his heart.

Even thunder reduced by 80% made him feel pain and numbness; if it were an unmitigated attack, a single strike would likely be enough to defeat him directly!

"Fortunately, one thunder attack requires over a second of chanting time; now it's my turn!"

Looking at Zhou Yi, who was less than ten meters ahead, Wei He brandished his battle saber and launched another assault!

*Crackle!!

Another thunderbolt struck down instantly, causing his charging figure to falter once more!

"How is this possible? How can the lightning attack of Punishment of Light be so fast?!"

Feeling the pain and numbness spreading throughout his body, Wei He was shocked beyond measure.

Last night, he had specifically studied all the skills Zhou Yi had released since the start of the competition!

Especially Punishment of Light, which could summon thunder; it was the object of his focused research.

There was a very clear description regarding the summoning of thunder.

The higher the skill level, the faster the interval between each thunder summon!

"The interval between two thunderbolts is no more than 0. seconds. Could it be that Zhou Yi's Punishment of Light is above LV20? That's impossible!"

Wei He was completely baffled.

But what he didn't expect was that Zhou Yi, who possessed the Frost Titan bloodline, had an extremely high affinity for thunder elements.

He could also summon thunder rapidly!

"Thunder, come!"

Just as Wei He was thinking, another lightning bolt struck down, causing Wei He's body to jolt.

"No, if this continues, even with my Battle Maniac skill, I will undoubtedly lose!"

Feeling the thunder and holy light wreaking havoc inside his body, Wei He frowned and charged toward Zhou Yi again.

*Crackle~~*

*Crackle~~*

However, under Zhou Yi's control, thunderbolts continued to strike down at Wei He!!

The ten-meter distance that Wei He could previously cross in an instant now felt like a chasm, impossible to breach!
