While Chen Mobai was contemplating how to crack this divine movement symbol, Shi Yuanqing on the stage revealed his true strength.

Wu Xue was moving at an extremely fast speed when suddenly her body froze, realizing that her right foot was bound.

She looked down and saw a strand of dust, like a chain, seeping out from the cracks in the stone platform and hanging on her ankle.

“Caught you.”

Shi Yuanqing said coldly, then opened his right hand, and the broken stones under his feet rose up. With a wave of his palm, they rained down on Wu Xue.

Buzz!

However, Wu Xue, as the second genius of the First High School after Gong Xiangyu, was not an easy opponent to deal with. She clasped her hands together, activated a talisman, and a pool of clear water surrounded her, forming a powerful defense.

“Water Dragon Talisman!”

Chen Mobai was surprised to see this talisman.

It was one of his favorite talismans, part of the same set as the Water Sword Talisman, but it was a high-grade first-tier talisman, close to the power of a second-tier talisman, a powerful talisman that combined offense and defense.

“Is it another decisive move?”

Shi Jingjing muttered to herself. She had suffered from hesitation. In the second round, she unintentionally engaged in a protracted battle with Hong Gang and was ultimately defeated by his powerful blood and the Golden Body of Henglian.

Cao Yaling learned from her lesson and knew that if she engaged in a protracted battle, female students would definitely be at a disadvantage in terms of physical strength. So she devised a tactic of attacking decisively with one move.

Coincidentally, Wu Xue had witnessed the entire battle from the sidelines and adopted Cao Yaling’s tactic as her own.

“Everyone is improving. Is this the effect of fighting?”

Chen Mobai noticed that compared to the students who were flustered when they first stepped onto the stage, the opponents who made it to the third round already had a basic tactical awareness.

If Qiao Xingwen had fought a few more rounds before encountering him again, it would probably take five minutes to defeat him.

On the stage, Wu Xue rose up under the powerful spiritual power of the Water Dragon Talisman, like a female dragon god, enveloped by swirling water, forming a translucent dragon-shaped water shadow.

But Shi Yuanqing, having learned from Xu Yuan’s experience, also activated his own talisman at the same time.

A beautiful talisman, crystal clear like jade with faint patterns, was held between his right fingers and pressed against his forehead.

Square jade porcelain tiles centered around the talisman, like a mosaic, spread across Shi Yuanqing’s body, instantly forming an impenetrable porcelain armor.

“Jade Talisman!”

Shi Jingjing, who was Shi Yuanqing’s cousin, couldn’t help but envy when she saw this talisman.

With a water dragon’s roar, waves of water surged, sweeping through the sky.

Wu Xue’s spiritual power surged, unleashing the full power of the talisman. Her skin turned red as she directly collided with Shi Yuanqing, who was covered in jade porcelain armor.

Boom!

In the center of the stage, the collision between the two talismans slowly distorted, and there was even a faint and extremely muffled thunderous sound.

Chen Mobai couldn’t look directly at it anymore, the powerful spiritual light forced him to squint.

But Shi Jingjing and Cao Yaling, on the other hand, used their spiritual vision and stared intently at the result of the collision between the two powerful talismans.

“We won!”

Shi Jingjing’s voice of joy rang out, and the spiritual light in the center of the stage slowly dissipated. Chen Mobai saw Wu Xue collapse at Shi Yuanqing’s feet. The latter squatted down, then raised his right hand and heavily struck Wu Xue’s snow-white neck.

Wide-eyed, Wu Xue, who had thought that Shi Yuanqing would show some mercy, fell unconscious with an incredulous expression on her face.

“Referee.”

After finishing the job, Shi Yuanqing coldly shouted at the referee outside the stage.

“This guy seems to be going to extremes.”

Chen Mobai felt that although there was nothing wrong from the perspective of the competition, something felt off.

“This guy has been timid since he was a child, only Xu Yuan can make him let his guard down.”

Shi Jingjing began to chatter. Shi Yuanqing had the best spiritual root talent among their generation in the family, but he was timid and had a baby face. He almost developed autism when he was young due to the high expectations of his family.

The Xu family and the Shi family were neighbors. Every time the two families interacted, Xu Yuan would bring Shi Yuanqing to play. After more than ten years, their friendship was closer than that of real brothers.

“Yuanqing was the first in our school to reach the eighth level of Qi Refining. If it weren’t for considering Xu Yuan’s feelings and suppressing his own progress, he might have already reached the ninth level of Qi Refining.”

Shi Jingjing knew Shi Yuanqing’s talent the best. His dual spiritual roots of earth and fire were extremely high, not inferior to Gong Xiangyu. The Qingyu Art he practiced was also a perfect fit.

After hearing these words, Chen Mobai looked at Shi Yuanqing, who was silently walking down from the stage, and came up with an idea.

“Xu Yuan has been eliminated, so you will bear his burden.”

?

Shi Jingjing and Cao Yaling looked puzzled, completely not understanding what Chen Mobai was talking about.

But Shi Yuanqing, who had a cold expression on his face, flashed a gleam in his eyes upon hearing these words. Then he clenched his fist and patted his chest, nodding firmly.

“I’ll take care of it.”

These two people are crazy!

Shi Jingjing and Cao Yaling couldn’t connect with these two guys at all.

If Mo Simin were here, she would strongly resonate with them.”So, Song Zheng is up next, but I won’t have time to watch.”

Chen Mobai glanced at the time. His match was in an hour. Moreover, the arena was not here; he needed to go to another peak.

“It’s fine, most of them are getting eliminated anyway, we won’t go watch.”

Shi Jingjing’s words made Chen Mobai sigh at Song Zheng’s lack of popularity.

“Old Song does have some skills, and he has mastered quite a few powerful spells. Maybe he will pull off an upset.”

Chen Mobai felt that his match was almost a sure win, resolved in a minute.

His classmates following him would have no viewing experience.

It would be better to go and cheer for Song Zheng. Who knows, this minor external factor might trigger his breakthrough.

“Xue Luan’s strength is similar to mine, Song Zheng’s chances of winning are less than ten percent.”

Shi Yuanqing spoke up.

After the college entrance examination, in order to hone their combat skills, he and Xu Yuan were sent to the military by their parents through connections. Among the same batch of fifty people, the most powerful were him and Xue Luan.

Shi Yuanqing suppressed his own strength a bit so as not to overshadow Xu Yuan, but Xue Luan saw through it.

During one practice, Xue Luan deliberately injured Xu Yuan, which angered Shi Yuanqing.

That night, on the playground, Shi Yuanqing found Xue Luan who was waiting for him, and the two had a fierce fight.

Although Shi Yuanqing was stronger than Xu Yuan, he still lost after suppressing himself for a long time.
