Chapter 204: Chapter 170: Red Sword Chapter 204: Chapter 170: Red Sword “Great, Su Yuan won!”
“And he won so easily!”
“Of course, it was easy.
They aren’t even on the same level!”
“…”
The people from Demon Capital Academy were in an excited discussion.
However, the thousands of students from Demon Academy watching were a bit stunned.
“It’s over already?”
Most people hadn’t even gotten into the mood, and in the blink of an eye, Ji Cheng from Capitol City College had already conceded.
And aside from the Instant Movement, there didn’t seem to be anything impressive about this normal match.
It seemed the captain of Demon Capital Academy just cut twice and launched a ranged attack to win?
“Was Ji Cheng from Capitol City College just too weak?” Yan Ziyu asked, frowning with uncertainty.
Ji Xuan shook his head.
“No, it’s not that he was weak.
It’s that Su Yuan was too strong.”
“Too strong?” Although Yan Ziyu usually trusted Ji Xuan’s evaluations of others’ strengths, this seemed a bit exaggerated.
Since they were here to participate in the exchange tournament, Ji Cheng should be among the top five freshmen from Capitol City College.
But in Su Yuan’s hands, he seemed as weak as an ordinary student ranked outside the top hundred.
Could there really be such a huge gap in strength?
With a sharp look in his eyes, Ji Xuan said seriously, “Yes, very strong!”
Last time, when Su Yuan fought Yang Xu, he mainly used the Summoning Technique, so Ji Xuan couldn’t tell how strong Su Yuan himself was.
But now that Su Yuan had fought personally, Ji Xuan’s Insightful Eyes saw everything clearly!
The Gray Flame Strike he casually launched, although a Green Skill, had a power nearly comparable to a Blue Skill.
That’s why Ji Cheng from Capitol City College had his defense shattered and his shoulder severely injured by one strike!
Later, the black light on Su Yuan’s blade had extraordinary destructiveness and cutting ability, easily breaking even the Blue Star Artifact’s Defense Skill!
On the surface, aside from the Instant Movement, Su Yuan’s actions looked ordinary, and he didn’t use any powerful skills.
But in reality, the strength of each of his skills was comparable to others’ finishing moves.
Such power with ease!
With a focused gaze, Ji Xuan thought, this opponent is even stronger than I originally imagined!
“So who do we challenge?” Yan Ziyu asked.
The eighth round of Capitol City College’s challenge was over, and the ninth round was Demon Academy’s turn again.
Ji Xuan said, “Let’s attack Capitol City College first.
ƝονǤο.сօ
Let Demon Capital Academy guard the ring and avoid them for now.”
“Alright!”
Yan Ziyu responded and immediately stood up, stretched, and walked onto the stage.
“Yan Ziyu from Demon Academy challenges Capitol City College!” Yan Ziyu issued a challenge to Capitol City College.
From below the stage, Ji Xuan also stared in the direction of Capitol City College.
In this round, if Capitol City College sent anyone else besides Zhu Hongchi, Yan Ziyu should be able to win.
But if Zhu Hongchi took the stage…
Ji Xuan suddenly frowned.
“The situation doesn’t look good…”
From Capitol City College, a tall ponytailed girl, dressed in a black robe and holding a red longsword, jumped onto the stage.
Holding the sword in one hand, her gaze sharp, the red ribbon tying her hair gently swayed in the breeze.
“Zhu Hongchi from Capitol City College!”
So strong!
Yan Ziyu took a deep breath, feeling a slight sting all over her body just from Zhu Hongchi’s gaze.
It was as if Zhu Hongchi’s red longsword could pierce her at any moment!
“Ready?” Zhu Hongchi asked.
“Ready!”
Yan Ziyu responded solemnly, and then the Star Power in her body sped up as she waved her magic wand to deploy a Revolutionary Water Curtain in front of her and set up the trap skill Illusion Sea Blue Kun around her.
After doing this, Yan Ziyu fully activated her Star Power and began preparing her terrain skill, “Kongming Sea Domain!”
The series of actions flowed smoothly and quickly, making the teachers watching from the side nod in approval.
Students like Yan Ziyu were the standard good students in the academy, fighting methodically and systematically.
However, despite having set up Dual Defense, Yan Ziyu suddenly felt a strong foreboding.
She looked up to see a concentrated red light shot into the Revolutionary Water Curtain.
It was the red longsword from earlier!
The Revolutionary Water Curtain, which could block even the impact of a Silver Stage Star Beast, felt as fragile as a layer of window paper at this moment.
Lasting less than half a second, it was pierced through by the red longsword!
Yan Ziyu’s expression changed slightly, and with a thought, she activated the trap skill Illusion Sea Blue Kun.
The surrounding ground suddenly glowed with water light, becoming like a sea surface, and a water element Blue Kun of over ten meters emerged, opening its giant mouth to swallow the red longsword!
The red longsword, once swallowed, seemed to slow down visibly, eventually stopping in the Blue Kun’s belly.
“Yes!”
Yan Ziyu’s eyes lit up.
This time, she successfully trapped her opponent’s weapon!
Xia Yue’s Four Flood Dragons Competing to Eat was a Green Trap Skill, but Yan Ziyu’s Illusion Sea Blue Kun was a Blue Grade Trap Skill!
It could trap Star Card Masters and Star Devices, continuously devouring their energy and weakening them.
Moreover, as a Water Element Energy Body, Illusion Sea Blue Kun had self-healing capabilities, and as long as it wasn’t destroyed in one move, it could repair itself.
Yet, before Yan Ziyu could be happy for long, the sword flashed red, and Zhu Hongchi’s figure suddenly appeared beside the longsword, using the Sword Move technique to move to the sword’s location.
Grabbing the sword, Zhu Hongchi’s eyes focused.
“Spirit Slash!”
The sword emitted a dazzling red light, and a slash sent a red sword light over ten meters high, cleaving through the Illusion Sea Blue Kun’s body and unstoppably slashing towards Yan Ziyu!
Yan Ziyu couldn’t believe her Illusion Sea Blue Kun could be so easily destroyed.
Her face changed, and she quickly stopped preparing the terrain skill and held the magic wand in front of her.
The red sword light, over ten meters high, landed on the wand, cleaving through the ground and knocking Yan Ziyu dozens of meters away before dissipating.
“Ugh!”
Yan Ziyu grunted, spat a mouthful of blood, and fell sitting on the ground.
Before she could stabilize herself, the red light flashed, and a red longsword stopped right in front of her.
“You lost.”
Zhu Hongchi pointed the sword at Yan Ziyu, her black robe billowing, and sleeves fluttering.
…
“So strong!”
As Zhu Hongchi stepped down, exclamations arose from the audience.
Even Su Yuan couldn’t help but carefully scrutinize Zhu Hongchi as she walked down the stage.
Such profound swordsmanship and sharp attacks!
Su Yuan silently praised, then stood up again and walked onto the stage.
Because it was Demon Capital Academy’s turn this round!
Su Yuan stepped onto the stage, and everyone tensed up.
Now, only Ji Xuan remained from Demon Academy, and Capitol City College was defended by Zhu Hongchi.
This meant the three left on stage were the strongest from the three academies.
No matter whom Su Yuan chose, it would be a decisive battle for the final ranking.
Su Yuan turned and looked at Ji Xuan below the stage.
“This round, I challenge Demon Academy!”
Ji Xuan nodded and stood up calmly, not surprised at all.
Almost everyone also thought Su Yuan would challenge Demon Academy.
If Ji Xuan and Zhu Hongchi were of equal strength, the difficulty of defeating both would be the same.
If Su Yuan defeated Ji Xuan, Demon Capital Academy would secure second place directly; if he beat Zhu Hongchi, Capitol City College still had a Bronze High Stage teammate left.
Therefore, for Demon Capital Academy, it was natural to choose Demon Academy first.
Winning against Ji Xuan would ensure second place.
And if challenging Zhu Hongchi from Capitol City, they would not only have to beat her but also have enough left to fight Capitol City’s last member.
However, Su Yuan was not thinking this way.
It would be too troublesome to go up and down repeatedly…
If he first defeated Ji Xuan and eliminated Demon Academy, he would remain as Demon Capital Academy’s defender and wouldn’t need to step off, able to solve everything in one go.
Looking at the stage beneath him, Su Yuan squinted slightly.
“From this round on, I’ll just stay on this stage until the end…”
