Chapter 382

The entire magic shield seemed like a dilapidated house standing in a gale, trembling and on the verge of collapse.

"Sss! My Heavy Water Shield!"

Liu Yang stared wide-eyed, utterly incredulous.

Every magician masterfully learns one offensive spell and one defensive spell.

Some magicians even invest more skill points into their defensive spell than their offensive one!

And Liu Yang was exactly such a magician.

In his words, if you're dead, how can you deal damage?

So, the A+ skill Heavy Water Shield, learned from the Suzhou-Hangzhou University library, was leveled up all the way to LV8!!

LV8 Heavy Water Shield is extremely thick and has tremendous defense.

In previous solo matches, he used this skill to outright block a continuous assault from a Qingjing University assassin competitor—and defeated him!

And now...

Even the spontaneous flame whirlwind naturally formed by the Crimson Fire Monkey was making the Heavy Water Shield tremble...

"My Heavy Water Shield can only hold for another ten seconds before it shatters—what do we do next?!"

Liu Yang, sensing the weakening defense of the Heavy Water Shield, urgently cried out.

"Legend Rank beast—too powerful."

"Sigh, we're just that unlucky."

"Bad luck—even drinking cold water makes you choke."

"......"

Everyone was utterly despondent.

They had assumed that without Wei He, the Metropolis University team was like meat on a chopping block, at everyone's mercy.

But unexpectedly, this meat had transformed into a hard bone!

And not just any hard bone—the kind that cracks skulls!

Amid this gloom, everyone—including Jiang Churan—unconsciously turned toward that tall, slender figure.

"Yi Ge? What should we do?"

"Let's just charge ahead and take him down!"

"We'll fight! Even if we get badly injured—we can't let Suzhou-Hangzhou University's reputation fall!"

"......"

All eyes turned to Zhou Yi, waiting for his command.

Even Liu Yang had dropped his usual smirk, his expression solemn.

"I'll handle the match—you all step off the arena."

Facing everyone's gazes, Zhou Yi spoke in a low tone.

"Step off the arena?! Yi Ge, you're not joking, are you?"

Liu Yang's eyes widened.

"Do I look like I'm joking?"

Zhou Yi faced the group, his clear black-and-white eyes filled with icy resolve:

"I have a way to deal with the Crimson Fire Monkey—but once I fight, I won't be able to protect you."

"Yi Ge, no need to protect us! We can handle it!"

Cai Hua, the tank, couldn't help speaking up.

"Handle it?"

Zhou Yi's gaze swept over them:

"This isn't ordinary combat. Facing a Legend Rank beast, one misstep could mean death."

"Even if priests revive you after death, losing 30% of your four attributes isn't easily recovered!"

Zhou Yi's words stunned everyone, then silence settled over them.

In past battles, competitors had died during matches—not rarely, but seven or eight of them!

Though all were later revived by third-transformation priests.

But each lost 30% of their four attributes!

And entered the Weakness phase.

For three months, they couldn't fight or enter dungeons...

Remember, competitors in the National University Freshman Exchange Tournament are nearly geniuses—one or two per province!

A 30% reduction in four attributes, plus three months in the Weakness phase...

The cost of resurrection is enormous—enough to turn a genius back into an ordinary person.

Everyone present understood this perfectly.

"I know you all think I can't handle this alone."

"But in truth, your presence distracts me."

"Besides—it's just one Legend Rank beast. Why do you assume I can't handle it by myself?"

Zhou Yi grinned, revealing a bright, sunlit smile.

"Damn! Random summoning pulled a Legend Rank beast! Metropolis University's luck is insane!"

"Unbelievable—luck so outrageous!"

"A stunning reversal! The scene from seven years ago is about to replay!"

"What a shocking reversal! The scene from seven years ago is about to play out again!"

"......"

In the audience seats, spectators who had originally believed this match was a foregone conclusion immediately grew excited.

They marveled in awe and lamented how incredibly lucky Mado University was.

"A Legend Rank beast! This is over!"

"Sigh, even Master Yi can't turn the tide now."

·· ········Request Flowers····· ·

"Too bad luck. Nothing to be done."

"......"

In the holographic seating area, the section reserved for Suzhou University.

Many first-year freshmen sighed in despair.

Since the exchange competition began, Zhou Yi, who had never suffered a defeat, had quietly earned the title "Master Yi" among first-year students.

The raging, massive battle-axe, the thunder that seemed ready to tear heaven and earth apart—Zhou Yi truly deserved this title.

Now, in their eyes, Zhou Yi, the so-called "Master Yi," was powerless against a Legend Rank beast.

"Hahaha! Legend Rank beast! Perfect!"

"Zhou Yi! This time, I want to see how you win!"

In one corner of the section, Liu Jing's holographic projection wore a smug, gleeful expression.

He had never been a generous man.

At both the Special Admission Meeting and the Freshman Competition, he had been ruthlessly crushed by Zhou Yi, losing all face.

Now that Zhou Yi's undefeated legend was about to be shattered, he was naturally delighted.

In fact, across the entire Suzhou University holographic section, many students shared this same sentiment...

On the arena, after the initial shock, everyone from Mado University burst into joy.

"Crimson Fire Monkey, Legend Rank beast!"

"Xiao Jiao, you're amazing!"

"Excellent! To defeat Suzhou University, Xiao Jiao, you deserve the top credit!"
