Lin Li’s battle ended with an expected result in an unexpected manner . The spectators were so shocked they forgot to even cheer . Everything they had witnessed was too shocking . Although Lin Nichang was renowned worldwide, very few people had actually witnessed her fighting . None of them had imagined that the Divine Phoenix Feather Dress could be used in this manner .
Unknown to them, this usage method was actually created by Lin Li . This was a combat method that she had created after learning Xue Ying’s close-combat techniques and obtaining the Thousand Star by accident, and not even Lin Nichang knew of this combat method .
It was also this battle that had caused Lin Li’s value in everyone’s eyes to grow greatly .
Even if Lin Li was not the daughter of Lin Nichang, this terrifying combat prowess she had demonstrated was sufficient to make her a target of recruitment of the various organizations and empires . In this continent, the strong never had a lack of opportunities .
The end of the battle also signified the complete elimination of Yan Suzi’s class from the third round . The next class to send their members onto the ring was Luo Han’s class 121 . Everyone started speculating on how Luo Han’s class would deal with Lin Li .
Would they be shifting the responsibility away like they had previously? Or would they do what the Savage Class had done – send their main fighter to fight it out? Their curiosity was gone as soon as it came .
Class 121 had come to a decision, and this decision was the latter of the two guesses . From class 121, Luo Han and the sword-and-shield user stood up and slowly walked onto the ring . With his stunning performance during the second round, the sword-and-shield user had made a name for himself .

He was subsequently known as the Hidden Newcomer King, and his personal information started to spread . He was Duan Tianya, a Master Rank Onslaught Stream puppet master . He was also the son of Duan Yin, the deputy commander of the Divine Light Mercenary Group .
Because of his identity, his very existence carried a certain weight with it . The Divine Light Mercenary Group was known as a mercenary group capable of changing the tides of war, a group that many people wanted to join regardless of the cost .
Joining the Divine Light Mercenary Group was no easier than entering Starnet Academy . In a way, joining it was even harder than joining Starnet Academy .
The main reason was because to join Divine Light Mercenary Group, regardless of one’s main puppet, one would have to have a support-type ability . Many had tried to meet this requirement at the cost of ignoring the compatibility between their puppets .
Despite the many attempts, only a small number of people joined . This was clear from the fact that Divine Light Mercenary Group was the only mercenary group of the nine major mercenary groups without a branch mercenary group . Now, the son of the deputy commander of this mercenary group was here standing before everyone .
“Sister Lin Li, allow me to introduce myself . I am Duan Tianya . ” After getting onto the ring, Duan Tianya did not show a deadpan face like how everyone in the tournament had done . Rather, he politely greeted Lin Li . The gentlemanly manner in which he carried himself was broadcast on the huge screen, instantly capturing the affection of numerous young maidens .
“You can call me Lin Li . I am not interested in knowing your name . ”

Duan Tianya’s courteousness was met with Lin Li’s uncaring attitude . This was something that Duan Tianya had not expected . And because of that, he was now feeling rather awkward .
“Done talking? If so, I will be declaring the start of the match,” Luo Xi coldly said . What Duan Tianya had done after stepping onto the ring had caused her to look at him in a “new light” .
As for Luo Han, she did not even dare to raise her head . In front of Luo Xi, she was as obedient as a little chick . However, what Luo Xi said did relieve Duan Tianya of his awkwardness . He immediately grabbed onto this chance and said, “Sorry, Vice Principal Luo . We are ready . ”
Then, the three stood at two different sides of the ring and entered combat-ready mode . Luo Xi declared the start of the match, and all three of them moved at nearly the same time . Luo Han quickly retreated, while Lin Li summoned Thousand Star and started shooting fire bullets towards her two opponents .
Although Yan Suzi was no longer on the ring, what she had done earlier was still in effect – the fire element was still the densest element .
“Divine Shield, rise!” Duan Tianya shouted, and his shield started glowing with a radiance that took the form of a huge milky white shield . His shield blocked all the bullets Lin Li sent .
Lin Li, sensing that a large scale attack was ineffective, changed her attacking method . In the blink of an eye, Thousand Star converged above her head to form a huge flaming spear before shooting straight forward .

“Divine Shield, congregate!” Duan Tianya immediately reacted and withdrew the shield of light . The shield he was holding shone with an even more dazzling radiance as Duan Tianya charged at the incoming flaming spear . The rumbling sound of an explosion soon followed .
Amid the smoke and dust, Duan Tianya stood unmoving . He blocked everything, including the shockwave resulting from the explosion . Not a thing was allowed to approach Luo Han behind him .
“Thistles and Thorns!” After stabilizing her footing, Luo Han used her first ability . A beam of light landed on Duan Tianya . It shone upon him and made him look like a god of war .
“So long as I stand, don’t dream of attacking the person behind me!” Duan Tianya slammed his sword against his shield, producing a crisp clang .
“I will have to get rid of you first, then . ” Lin Li entered the same mode she was in when she was previously battling Yan Suzi . With her entire body shining brightly, she charged straight at Duan Tianya . The instant she made this decision, Bai Xiaofei cursed .
She fell for their trick!
Unfortunately, no spectators could offer a reminder . Therefore, regardless of how anxious Bai Xiaofei was, he could only watch on .
While Bai Xiaofei was shaking his head, Lin Li and Duan Tianya clashed . Although Lin Li had withdrawn the zone of absolute control imposed by Thousand Star to encapsulate only her body, the zone still existed, and it showed so during close combat . As a result, her attack landed even without her physically touching Duan Tianya .
Duan Tianya suffered greatly from this incorporeal attack . Over their several collisions, he was the one to be blasted away each and every time . By the time Lin Li stopped attacking, his body was already filled with wounds . Many bones in him were broken, and blood seeped out of his numerous wounds without stop .
Despite his bad shape, Lin Li had stopped her attack . The reason for that was quite simple . Although she had not been attacked, she had been inflicted with injuries for some reason . Her injuries were not light, with all of them being internal . And because she had stopped, she had lost her sole chance at prevailing over them .
“Revival!”
A beam of light landed on Duan Tianya . With Luo Han’s healing ability, Duan Tianya’s injuries started healing at a frightening speed .
“The type of damage inflicted by the Thistles and Thorns when reflecting damage is optional . Since I know that physical attacks are useless against you, I opted to deal inner damage to you instead,” Luo Han explained with a solemn face . She could continue hiding her ability if she wanted, but she did not, as she felt that defeating Lin Li in such a manner was a dishonor .
“It is not yet your victory!” Lin Li said coldly . Bearing with the pain coming from her internal organs, she stared at both Duan Tianya and Luo Han with a pair of unrelenting eyes .
