“They won again!” The teachers’ exclamations could be heard.
Sure enough, while Ji Hongbin and Yin Tianfan were talking, Lan Xuanyu and his team won another match. This time they defeated one of the lower-ranking teams in the Elite Junior Class, relying on Qian Lei’s summoning as before. He summoned a Red Armored Dragon, and thanks to its blazing fiery breath, it suppressed the opponent and they were unable to fight, allowing Lan Xuanyu’s team to claim victory.
Three battles, three victories!
After winning this match, Qian Lei directly sat cross-legged on the ground and began meditating.
In their initial plan, Qian Lei should be able to complete four summons but something unexpected happened during the second summon; not only was the Emerald Demon Bird hard to control, it also used up a lot of Qian Lei’s Spiritual Power. Also, as he tried to control it, he used up even more Spiritual Power.
Hence, after completing three summons, Qian Lei had exhausted all his Spiritual Power.
Plans can’t keep up with changes. He could only meditate on the spot and try to recover his Spiritual Power quickly so that he could use it again for the later matches.
However, their team already won three matches just through his summoning alone and laid a solid foundation.
The lights flashed and another three figures appeared before them.
Lan Xuanyu took the lead. With his right foot forward, all his strength concentrated on his calf, and in the next second, he charged forward like an artillery shell. At the same time, the golden-patterned Blue Silver Grass wrapped around his right arm.
A white light flashed, and Liu Feng came charging from behind by relying on his speed, which was second to none in the Elite Junior Class. He was immediately in front of Lan Xuanyu the very next moment.
Lan Xuanyu reached out with his right hand and pressed it against Liu Feng’s back. He felt a strong push before his meridians surged with heat and manic.
Both eyes on the dragon head of Liu Feng’s White Dragon Spear began radiating gold light, and the light of the spear came spewing out; his entire essence, energy, and aura was instantly different.
The arena was merely 30 meters long and with one of them pushing and the other running, Liu Feng’s speed already reached an extreme.
The three people had just appeared and Liu Feng was already closing in.
With his hand holding the end of the spear, he swung his White Dragon Spear and tossed them up, shrouding all three of them by the power of his spear instantly.
Soul Masters would need some time in order to release their Martial Souls in the arena upon arriving, while the greatest advantage of the defending champion was to be able to make the first move.
At this moment, Lan Xuanyu and Liu Feng took advantage of being the first-movers and fought to their fullest potential.
Those three students had just appeared, yet the White Dragon Spear was already there. They didn’t have time to react before they felt a mighty force charge towards them. They were flung upwards at the same time and their bodies lost control.
Liu Feng was too fast. He lifted three people up in one sweep, and the White Dragon Spear in his hand paused in midair for a brief moment as a copiously valiant aura burst forth. The White Dragon Spear struck downwards and became a ray of light as it fell from the sky. Its target was the student in the middle.
Having been swept off by the White Dragon Spear, these three students didn’t even have the chance to release their Martial Souls, so how could they possibly block this attack from Liu Feng?
The student in the middle was immediately sliced by the spearhead in the forehead, splitting his body into two as he turned into light rays and disappeared.
At this moment, Lan Xuanyu caught up from behind as well. He jumped and knocked into Liu Feng, who was in midair. When the two people came into close contact, he pushed with his right hand and assisted Liu Feng in completing a change of direction. He helped him charge towards the student on the right, who managed to release his Martial Soul as he fell from the sky, while Lan Xuanyu used the opposing force to pounce towards the student on the left.
Liu Feng felt the enhancement from the golden-patterned Blue Silver Grass and could only attack once, but Lan Xuanyu’s second enhancement arrived and he suddenly had the momentum. The White Dragon Spear covered the sky with the light of the spear and completely caged that opponent under the tip of its spear.
Lan Xuanyu opened his arms wide like a big bird and charged towards the opponent on the left.
The opponent had just released his Martial Soul and it was a big net that was about to trap Lan Xuanyu. However, Lan Xuanyu pressed his left hand down and formed a water vortex. The violent force from the rotation caused the big net to be caught in the vortex, and in the next moment, his right fist came down from the sky.
This was a fist that contained the force from his meridians and the strength from his entire body, which the golden-patterned Blue Silver Grass had triggered.
“Boom!” His fist landed in the middle of the big net where the student was. He smashed into the opponent’s shoulders, which were behind the net, with immense pressure.
The sounds of bones fracturing resounded, and Lan Xuanyu’s fist simply crushed the opponent to the ground. The ice thorns from his left hand pierced through the big net and ended the battle!
On the other side, under Liu Feng’s light of the spear, his opponent was caught off guard and was also pierced through. He was riddled with gaping wounds and left with an injury so deep that his bones could be seen.
From the beginning till the end, this battle was even faster than the summoning Qian Lei did as their main combat strength earlier. The coordination between Lan Xuanyu and Liu Feng could be said to be perfect.
The key was that they were fast!
Everyone was a student in the Elite Junior Class, so how much of a gap could there be?
Obviously, it wouldn’t be a big difference, but with a collision like that, Lan Xuanyu and Liu Feng relied on speed to gain first-move advantages and killed a person within seconds, then suppressed the other two people instantly. They didn’t give their opponents a chance to perform at all.
It could be said that their opponents lost quite sullenly. Even the teachers didn’t expect that making the first move as the defending champions would have such an advantage.
Lan Xuanyu and Liu Feng looked at one another, both panting slightly. How could they not give their all during the series of attacks just now?
If they didn’t suppress them instantly, they would probably enter a fight, and with two against three, it was hard to say who would be victorious.
“We’ll continue later.” Mu Zhongtian stopped the test immediately.
Thanks to Liu Feng’s speed, the advantage of making the first move as the defending champion was simply too great. If this wasn’t adjusted, it would be challenging for the other opponents to try to escape Lan Xuanyu and Liu Feng’s tactic.
Mu Zhongtian looked helpless and turned to Ji Hongbin. “Teacher Ji, what should we do in this situation? We didn’t think it through carefully.”
Without a doubt, the cooperation between Lan Xuanyu and Liu Feng was completely unexpected. Liu Feng’s speed was also incredible.
The simplest way was to make the arena bigger so that they wouldn’t really be able to take advantage of being the first movers, but doing so wasn’t very fair for Lan Xuanyu’s team.
Ji Hongbin looked at Mu Zhongtian and said, “Let the other students who haven’t taken the test yet watch the video of this match. Let them decide how they want to adapt.”
Mu Zhongtian’s eyes lit up. ‘That’s right! If they could prepare beforehand, this first-mover advantage wouldn’t be so apparent. Also, it would be a test of adaptability for the other students.’
At this moment, Lan Xuanyu and Liu Feng were somewhat baffled in the arena. Their Soul Powers had already recovered and Lan Xuanyu felt how much of his Spiritual Power was used up—it was still within a controlled range.
As it turned out, this tactic was pretty good. Liu Feng had already gained momentum, and the moment the next match began, they would be able to use the same tactic again.
But what surprised them was that there weren’t any opponents appearing on the other side. It stopped?
Could it be that they allowed them to take a break between the tests?
It was a good thing to be able to rest. Qian Lei’s Spiritual Power needed time to recover, and as long as he could complete one more summoning, they would probably be able to win another match.
Qian Lei, who seemed to be the most unreliable among all the students in the Elite Junior Class, had actually become their key to victory. With his summoning, almost all of the creatures summoned were nothing the students in the class could fight off. The most unreliable Qian Lei had even become the pillar of Dorm 333.
