Chapter 196: Hu Xian’er Enters the Ring!
The words had barely been spoken before Lin Li erupted again after understanding what had happened . The only reason she had stopped attacking was because her initial plan was to first defeat Duan Tianya before dealing with Luo Han . But that was no longer the case .
What Lin Li wanted now was to kill one of them without bothering to think about what would come next . When a person with great combat prowess made such a decision, that person would become extremely terrifying .
That was the terror Duan Tianya was currently faced with . Yet another sound of explosion rumbled in the air, and Duan Tianya was blasted away . At the same time, Lin Li coughed out a mouthful of blood after attacking . This single pause when she was coughing out blood gave Luo Han an opening to quickly retreat . As Luo Han retreated, two beams of light descended from the sky and landed on her .
Immediately after, Lin Li appeared before Luo Han, and with a simple punch, Luo Han was sent flying like a kite with a broken string . Unfortunately, this punch, which Lin Li had been counting on, failed to turn Luo Han into a clump of white radiance . Of the two beams that had landed on Luo Han, one of them was the activation of the ability Revival .
That was an ability Luo Han used beforehand in anticipation of a future attack . This was one of the skills an elite support puppet master needed to have . This skill seemed unimportant, but it was often what changed the tide of war . This skill was also what separated many regular support puppet masters from the ranks of elite puppet masters .
Lin Li coughed out another mouthful of blood . Her condition was presently very bad . Duan Tianya was already on his feet again . Holding his shield tightly, he stood in front of Luo Han . At the same time, Revival was used on Duan Tianya as well .
This battle tactic seemed quite shameless, yet it was extremely effective against Lin Li . Gnashing her teeth, Lin Li charged them again . This time, she completely gave up on her defense and gathered the Thousand Star into her right hand before transforming it into a shiny blade .
“Divine Shield! Extreme Defense!”
Duan Tianya shouted and started madly channeling his origin energy into his shield . Immediately after, the shiny blade in Lin Li’s hand stabbed at the shield .
The shield met the blade, the impact of the collision creating a terrifying shockwave . Behind Duan Tianya, Luo Han was blasted away before she could do anything . As for Duan Tianya and Lin Li, they stood there in a deadlock .
The deadlock did not last long . Cracking sounds rang out as Duan Tianya’s Divine Shield started breaking apart . Regardless of how much origin energy Duan Tianya used to mend his shield, he could not prevent it from disintegrating .
Little by little, the shiny blade penetrated the Divine Shield . Duan Tianya could already see himself being pierced through by this blade . One second before his Divine Shield fully broke, the sense of crisis he had been feeling abruptly vanished .
He looked ahead and saw that Lin Li, who was attacking him, was slowly turning into dots of white light . Lin Li had ultimately failed to survive the backlash from her own attack . This sudden victory caused all the spectators to fall into silence . Nobody expected that this would be the result, not even Duan Tianya himself .
“Class 121 is victorious . ”
Luo Xi’s announcement pulled everyone back from their shock, and Duan Tianya recovered from his astonishment . With his heart still pounding in fear, he didn’t remember to smile at his victory .
“Sorry…” After the match, Lin Li stood before Bai Xiaofei and apologized, her voice filled with self-blame . She should have been able to continue fighting .
“You did well . I will deal with the rest . Don’t worry . You are now a spectator . ”
Bai Xiaofei pulled Lin Li into an embrace and patted her back as he consoled her . This was what Lin Li needed right now . In any case, Bai Xiaofei was the only one who could pull her out of her self-blame . Unlike the Savage Class members, the members of the other classes were in great excitement .
As far as they were concerned, Lin Li’s defeat was equivalent to the end of the Savage Class . Without a Master Rank in their lineup, their remaining members wouldn’t be able to achieve victory in this tournament . Miracles were never something that could be created so easily .
Zhao Ziyun had been holding himself back, but with the complete elimination of Yan Suzi’s class, he finally saw the light of victory .
“Class 21, please select your challengers . ” Luo Xi was a professional judge . Although she couldn’t remain calm and indifferent at all times, she was still able to react easily to any circumstances that might arise during the tournament . This was why the judge for the final round was her instead of any of the other teachers; she was able to stay in control at all times .
With Luo Xi’s reminder, all gazes gathered on Hu Xian’er’s class . A trace of expectation arose in everyone’s heart .
Without a doubt, Luo Han and Duan Tianya were in extremely poor conditions . Duan Tianya’s Divine Shield was on the verge of breaking while Luo Han exhausted nearly all her origin energy . After all, she had been using a powerful ability like Revival continuously during the previous match .
That was why the spectators were of the opinion that it was very likely that Hu Xian’er would personally make an appearance at this time . What happened next did not disappoint the spectators:under a tumultuous cheer, Hu Xian’er slowly stood up .
On the ring, Duan Tianya and Luo Han gulped . They had never expected that eliminating Lin Li would exhaust them so greatly . They had also never expected that Hu Xian’er would so easily decide to step on the ring .
Regardless of their expectations, this was the reality . Their only option was to face Hu Xian’er’s challenge .
Both parties stood on their own side of the ring . Luo Xi announced the start of the match, and under everyone’s gaze, a clash between Newcomer Kings began .
Hu Xian’er immediately transformed and used her full strength . She streaked about on the ring; her person seemed to have transformed into a phantom .
Only two words were in Duan Tianya’s mind when he saw this: it’s over…
With a flicker, Hu Xian’er appeared . Her target was not Luo Han as everyone had expected . Rather, it was Duan Tianya holding the half-destroyed Divine Shield . Sharp claws replaced Hu Xian’er’s delicate fingers .
With a violet flash, Duan Tianya’s Divine Shield instantly shattered, and a huge wound appeared on his chest .
“Revival!”
Luo Han casted Revival on Duan Tianya with no hesitation despite the little origin energy she had left . His continued existence on the ring was crucial . She was only hoping to outlive Hu Xian’er like how they had outlived Lin Li . Even if they couldn’t defeat Hu Xian’er, she still wished to exhaust more of Hu Xian’er’s energy .
Hu Xian’er behaved as if she didn’t know what Thistles and Thorns would do . She waited until Duan Tianya was healed before she launched her second attack .
With Hu Xian’er’s terrifying speed, apart from resisting with his body, Duan Tianya could not do anything else . He was too slow compared to Hu Xian’er . In fact, he wasn’t even fast enough to put on any sort of defense before her attack arrived .
Again, claw marks were left on Duan Tianya’s chest on the exact same spot . After pushing Duan Tianya’s back, Hu Xian’er stopped again and stood there, silently gazing at Luo Han .
“Time for you to heal him . Otherwise, he will die from blood loss . ”
Her words, which were spoken with absolute calmness, stunned everyone .
Did she not see what happened earlier? She’s standing there and letting them work together? What is going on?
