Chapter 317

The senior spectators deeply agreed; although Du Li had been targeted, Bai Jing's performance was undeniable.

He possesses the strength to fight a senior, one of 25 formidable opponents!

"Du Li is crippled, and his Panshi Snake has little stamina left—do you surrender, senior? At least that would be dignified."

"No, a trainer never surrenders before the final battle."

Du Li pulled out the Evolution Stone.

"Panshi Snake, Mega Evolution!"

The Mega Evolved Panshi Snake grew even more imposing, its body sprouting numerous blades, and the blade on its tail transformed into a scythe.

"So it's just Mega Evolution? We'll do it too!"

"Shenlong, Mega Evolution!"

The Mega Evolved Shenlong also underwent many changes: its ears became wing-like, its forehead horn turned into an ice spike, and the protrusions on its back became ice pillars.

"Good, then let's decide this with a single strike!"

"Panshi Snake, Mud Bomb!"

"Shenlong, Blizzard!"

The bomb exploded, mud and poison scattered everywhere, but under the blizzard's gust, they all froze into ice chunks and fell.

After the explosion subsided, the blizzard continued, sweeping over the Panshi Snake and freezing it solid into a lifelike ice sculpture.

"Panshi Snake is unable to battle—Bai Jing and Shenlong win!"

Du Li smiled bitterly, "I lost—completely defeated. Defeated by a first-year freshman. I still have a long way to go!"

"Younger brother Bai Jing, I surrender with full respect—I wish you great success in the coming matches!"

"Of course. My goal is to reclaim first place again—to become the first in history to win two championships in one year!"

Du Li burst into laughter, "Your ambition is truly extraordinary!"

The match ended, and the crowd dispersed, yet their hearts remained unsettled.

Du Li had lost—this elite of Longdu University had been defeated by first-year Bai Jing; the news would surely cause an uproar.

At this moment, no one dared underestimate Bai Jing, the freshman; they now understood why Mudu University had granted him this precious revival slot—he truly had the strength!

Bai Jing's victory brought the greatest joy to Principal Guan Bei and his group.

"Good kid, if you can defeat Du Li, you'll have no trouble in the next matches—you'll at least make it to the top sixteen… no, even the top eight is possible!"

As for the top four or finals, it wasn't that they doubted Bai Jing—it was just that the opponents were too strong; two more years might make the difference.

Bai Jing said nothing in rebuttal—he would let his strength speak for itself.

As predicted, Bai Jing swept through all opponents with overwhelming force, defeating one powerful rival after another under the disbelief of the crowd, storming into the top eight in a stunning comeback!

His outstanding performance also attracted a huge fanbase, making every match packed to capacity.

The idol of freshmen, the nightmare of seniors—he was this year's strongest, most handsome dark horse!

The top eight were: Bai Jing, Sister Zhuge Chaoyue, Long Shaoyun, Lü Shuai, Mi Ke, Xiang Shaoxiong, Gu Jia, Dong Chengyi.

The latter three were from other schools.

Time would reveal the true geniuses; in this long-spanning senior tournament, even a powerhouse like Longdu University could only claim three slots.

After the eight drew lots, the match order and opponents were determined.

Match One: Sister Zhuge Chaoyue vs. Mi Ke.

Match Two: Lü Shuai vs. Gu Jia.

Match Three: Long Shaoyun vs. Dong Chengyi.

Match Four: Bai Jing vs. Xiang Shaoxiong.

Match One was a clash between two beauties; compared to Sister Zhuge Chaoyue's icy, world-stunning beauty, Mi Ke was petite and cute.

The result? … Horrifying.

Sister Zhuge Chaoyue crushed Mi Ke with absolute dominance, leaving her questioning reality—she didn't utter a single word throughout.

Well, she was using telepathy.

Mi Ke cried—she cried pitifully!

Her pitiable appearance stirred outrage among the audience, who cursed the female demon for her cold-blooded cruelty.

Of course, they could only vent silently in their hearts—no one dared curse her to her face.

Match Two: Lü Shuai was genuinely handsome; as soon as he appeared, he ignited roaring cheers from the entire Longdu University—men and women alike screamed wildly, some so overexcited they nearly fainted.

"I love you, Senior Lü Shuai!"

"Senior Lü Shuai, I'll bear your children!"

"Senior Lü Shuai, I'll wash your socks!"

Someone was annoyed: "How showy is this guy? Even more showy than me!"

"Stop being jealous. Watch his match—he's a formidable opponent for you."

"Oh? He's someone the Queen even notices?"

Sister Zhuge Chaoyue explained: "He's a true genius—born ordinary, he reached his current status step by step through his own effort. Don't you think so?"

Bai Jing smirked, "Who isn't the same? Did I ever rely on anyone?"

Sister Zhuge Chaoyue stared at him for a moment, then nodded in agreement. "True—you've never relied on anyone. But your luck is far better than his."

"He's already aligned with the Long family and is being heavily cultivated. If nothing goes wrong, he'll be your greatest rival!"

"Greatest rival?"

"Why do you sound so sarcastic?"

Sister Zhuge Chaoyue said softly, "A prodigy like Long Shaoyun? The Long family won't let him marry out—they'll only take a son-in-law. And Lü Shuai is one of the candidates."

"Meaning he might become a rigid, traditional man—and he's also one of her devoted suitors. Now do you understand?"

Bai Jing understood, and he was furious!

Want to steal my peerless long legs? Absolutely unforgivable!

So he stood up and shouted, "Go Gu family! Beat this pretty boy into a pig's head!"

Sister Zhuge Chaoyue had black lines all over his head. "Can you not be so childish?"

"I just felt sorry for the Gu family contestant and wanted to cheer him on. Is that not allowed?"

"Go, good man of the Gu family! Take down the pretty boy who lives off women! Here's a little red flower as a reward!"

Then Bai Jing received the angry stares of all the students at Dragon Capital University.
