Under the entire Starnet Academy’s anticipation, the third round arrived as scheduled . The spectators arrived at the public square again, and the five classes slowly walked onto the ring under a thunderous applause . Bai Xiaofei was standing among his Savage Class classmates . Listening to his name being chanted, he got first taste of the sense of pride from being the center of attention .
After everyone sat down, the judge arrived . The judge was none other than Luo Xi, the person prejudiced against Bai Xiaofei . She was the only person in the academy who Bai Xiaofei would feel fear by the mere sight of her .
Fortunately, Luo Xi was still professional in her job . Although she was prejudiced against Bai Xiaofei, she would not stoop so low as to abuse her authority over Bai Xiaofei . At the very least, she did not plan to do so this time .
“I believe everyone is becoming impatient . Without further ado, the five classes, step onto the ring,” Luo Xi said with a dignified tone, and the entire public square went silent . Their gazes all converged onto the screen in the middle of the public square . There Zhao Ziyun’s class was being broadcast .
Under everyone’s gaze, three students from Zhao Ziyun’s class stood up . One controller, one assassin, and one close-combat puppet master of the Transformation Stream . It was a rather common lineup, and was obvious that Zhao Ziyun was aiming to play it safe . This was a lineup that despite being balanced and not over the top still stood a chance at winning .
When the three walked onto the stage, the screen shifted to the Savage Class’s perspective . It was now Bai Xiaofei’s turn to send someone onto the ring . Everyone’s anticipation grew as they waited . In the previous two rounds, the Savage Class had not fought too many big matches . As such, they were the class that had hidden their abilities the best .

In a sense, anything might happen with Bai Xiaofei’s class . And thus, as everyone watched on, Bai Xiaofei made a choice that caused everyone’s eyes to go wide . He sent Shi Kui up alone .
Shi Kui was in fact feeling terrible after being sent up there alone because he had been turned into a disposable pawn . With a bitter smile on his face, he slowly walked onto the stage .
Due to this choice, Luo Xi’s disdain of Bai Xiaofei grew . Even if he wanted to keep his trump cards, he did not need to do this . Did he not think of how his classmates would feel?
But of course Bai Xiaofei would not care about how his classmates would feel . How could he when four billion Amethyst Coins were on the line? Not to mention Bai Xiaofei, any other person would do the same .
“Fellow students, can you pull your punches? I’m just a normal Puppetsmith,” Shi Kui immediately pleaded with a bitter look on his face upon getting onto the ring . Unfortunately, his opponents did not seem affected .
From their expressions, it was clear that they perceived Shi Kui as a free point for their class .

“You have three seconds to prepare . After that, the match will start,” Luo Xi said and started the countdown . A panicked expression appeared on Shi Kui’s face . After all, three seconds were too short to prepare .
“Start!”
The moment Luo Xi announced the start, She Kui’s three opponents moved . The assassin slowly faded into thin air, and from the way he was fading, it was clear that his concealment ability was probably something that worked like a camouflage . This was perhaps the only good news for Shi Kui . Otherwise, if this assassin was capable of true disappearance, he would not stand a chance .
At the same time, the controller opened fire on Shi Kui . The vines that were twirled around his hand shot into the ground, turning the entire stage into a danger zone . The next second, several vines as thick as an arm shot up from the ground below Shi Kui, trapping him where he stood .
Fortunately, Shi Kui was no pushover . He was fully on guard, and the instant the vines stabbed out from the ground, he rolled forward and dodged the vines . However, he was now facing the Transformation Stream puppet master who had charged towards him .
This puppet master’s transformed form was a werewolf – a rather common form . Even though it was common, it was still very troublesome as it was a form capable of offense, defense, and escape .
With no hesitation the werewolf immediately pounced Shi Kui . His arms flashed a blue radiance as his sharp claws manifested . Just as the werewolf was thinking that victory was within his grasp, a sly grin appeared on Shi Kui’s face even as he was still lying on the ground .

Werewolf? Your nose is probably very sensitive, right?
Shi Kui crushed a pill in his hand, a pill that he had not used for a very long time . Immediately afterwards, an intense stink wafted out . This was the Stinky Grass, a rather popular item that was very effective against canine-type beasts and transformations .
The instant the stink appeared, the werewolf, which looked incomparably vicious a moment ago, started howling miserably . His snot and tears started flowing while an intense dizziness assaulted his brain . One ought to know that even Master Rank puppet masters of other streams had once suffered under this attack, to speak nothing of the werewolf’s experience .
Shi Kui was well prepared for it . The trademark hammer of a Puppetsmith appeared within his hand . After pouring his origin energy into the hammer, it grew into the size of the werewolf’s head . Then, Shi Kui raised the hammer and activated the strength amplification effect of his gloves .
With a bang, the hammer slammed into the defenseless werewolf . He suffered the obvious consequence of having a hammer slammed onto his head . In less than twenty seconds of the start of the match, Shi Kui harvested his first point .
This sudden change caused everyone’s eyes to go wide with shock . Even Luo Xi was no exception .
What is this? Isn’t he here as a free point for his opponents?
The spectators were all astonished, yet the people fighting on the stage did not have the leisure to stay astonished . The controller attacked again, turning his ability that was supposed to be providing support to the werewolf into offense instead . Two vines reached Shi Kui and immediately twirled around his legs .
Shi Kui tried breaking free of the entanglement, but it was useless . The vines started twirling around his entire body, attempting to completely wrap him up . There was also still a hidden assassin somewhere . Since Shi Kui was still capable of some movement, he had no intention to subject himself to defeat .
In any case, it did not seem like Shi Kui would be able to come out victorious in this match . Indeed, it was pointless to continue struggling against the vines . Therefore, Shi Kui stopped his struggles and instead channeled his origin energy into his hammer .
With the origin energy washing over the hammer, the weapon grew uncontrollably, and in the blink of an eye, it became immense . Using his sole hand that could still move, Shi Kui pulled the hammer backwards . The veins popping out on his forehead made it clear that he was forcefully exerting himself .
Thanks to the amplification of his gloves, Shi Kui was still able to swing the hammer forward after pulling it backwards despite the fact it had grown massively . Finally, he released the hammer .
The more mass, the stronger the inertia . Shi Kui could not calculate the exact momentum of this forward inertia, but he was sure that it was sufficient to turn the controller in front of him into mincemeat .
