As the Black Evil Stopper Team fell, the scene fell silent.
Bai Feng couldn't help but curse Zhang Mu inwardly. Clearly, they knew not to get too close, had been vigilant before, so why give Lin Xiu an opportunity?
Chai Yan and Gu Zheng looked at Lin Xiu's injuries, feeling somewhat shocked. If it hadn't been for Zhang Mu's earlier move with the Diamond Spear, they wouldn't have known that Lin Xiu's physical strength was so formidable!
"To think he cultivated the Body Forging Dou Technique, this kid hides it well," Elder Zhao remarked to Elder Li, tilting his head.
"It's obvious no one had pushed him to this extent before," Elder Li shook his head.
Previously, those old players were all swiftly dealt with by Lin Xiu and the others, without even having much chance to make a move.
In such a situation, who could have known that Lin Xiu's defense would be so strong?
"It's a pity, if Lin Xiu had hidden a bit longer, maybe he could really use some clever tricks to defeat Han Yue later. Now, Han Yue must surely be on guard," Elder Zhao glanced at the White Evil Stopper Team, where Han Yue was talking to the team members.
Elder Li pondered, "What if he still has some tricks up his sleeve?"
"Well... he's just a freshman after all," Elder Zhao was momentarily stunned, suddenly unsure how to respond.
When Hu Gan recommended Lin Xiu initially, he had also questioned it. He couldn't have imagined that this kid could single-handedly make this Fire Energy Hunting Competition so exciting.
While the group conversed, Du Chaoping had already collected all the Fire Crystal Cards from the Black Evil Stopper Team, and transferred all the Fire Energy to Lin Xiu's Fire Crystal Card.
The numbers above are almost reaching a thousand!
"Lin Xiu, there's our Fire Energy up there," Li Yan spoke up, prompted by a male student, with a forced courage.
"This is the Fire Energy I won from the Black Evil Stopper Team," Lin Xiu pocketed the Fire Crystal Card, "If you lost to them and want Fire Energy, you should ask them for it."
With that said, Lin Xiu directly beckoned Su Xiao and the others, heading towards the White Evil Stopper Team.
This scene, to Lin Ge, felt very familiar.
In his mind flashed the scene of just entering the forest.
"I understand! I understand!" Lin Ge suddenly shouted loudly.
"Lin Xiu, you deliberately watched us being defeated, deliberately waited until our Fire Energy was taken before intervening, right?"
The other freshmen looked at each other, some finding it hard to believe.
Lin Xiu didn't turn around to explain.
Instead, the members of the Black Evil Stopper Team pondered, feeling that this possibility did indeed exist.
"Is he really confident he can win against the White Evil Stopper Team?" Zhang Mu looked at Lin Xiu's back, somewhat incredulous.
At this moment, Elder Zhao and Elder Li also heard Lin Ge's words, and they were momentarily stunned.
Was it possible that earlier, Lin Xiu deliberately stood by just to take the freshmen's Fire Energy as well?
There was indeed a part of Lin Xiu's influence in the freshmen teaming up to reclaim Fire Energy from the seniors.
Could it be that right from the beginning, he planned to use the Black and White Evil Stopper teams' power to take away everyone's Fire Energy?
Then what exactly did he rely on to feel confident in defeating the White Evil Stopper Team? Elder Zhao became very curious and eager.
Their gazes followed Lin Xiu and his companions as they stopped not far from the White Evil Stopper Team.
"Junior Lin Xiu, do you need to tend to your wounds first?" Han Yue asked.
As soon as she spoke, the gazes of several girls beside her subtly changed.
Even the two elders behind, and even the other seniors, were somewhat astonished.
Because Han Yue had always been relatively indifferent towards the opposite sex.
Among them, what Han Yue enjoyed most at the Academy was her purity obsession.
To what extent?
Even when fighting against the opposite sex, she would use Dou Qi to isolate herself, avoiding any physical contact, as she was very averse to it.
It was precisely because of Han Yue's behavior that everyone felt surprised to see her suddenly showing concern for a junior.
"No need, Senior Sister, let's finish this quickly," Lin Xiu declined Han Yue's kindness unexpectedly.
"What did he just say? 'Finish this quickly'? Did I hear it correctly?" Chai Yan nudged Gu Zheng, seeking confirmation.
The latter nodded; this junior seemed a bit too confident.
After all, this was the final White Evil Stopper Team Captain.
To describe it as "finish this quickly"? Had he not yet fully unleashed his strength before?
Other seniors were surprised, some even secretly mocking.
After all, Lin Xiu's words seemed to belittle Han Yue to some extent, which would surely provoke her.
"It seems the junior is quite confident. Let's go by what the junior says. In this match, I won't hold back. Whatever skills you have, junior, you'd better use them all," Han Yue said calmly, not showing any anger.
As she finished speaking, the other four members of the White Evil Stopper Team rushed out in unison.
Lin Xiu intended to deal with the others first, but was intercepted by a burst of Qi.
"Junior, your opponent is me," Han Yue said, wielding her sword, blocking Lin Xiu's path.
Ding ding ding!
Lin Xiu countered with his sword.
Both sides' Swordsmanship was strong, and based on Swordsmanship alone, it was hard to determine who had the upper hand.
"I didn't expect Lin Xiu's Swordsmanship to be so skilled. Han Yue's Swordsmanship can rank in the top ten within the inner court," Elder Li admired more as he watched.
Elder Zhao nodded, "This kid doesn't look like he's under twenty at all. Whether it's combat experience or Swordsmanship skills, he seems like a veteran who has immersed himself in this for over a decade."
"Is he not planning to break the deadlock? If we wait any longer, the other three won't be able to hold on," Elder Li scanned the other three battlefields.
Due to the vast difference in strength between Du Chaoping and the White Evil Stopper Team, he was being ignored, leaving Su Xiao and the other three to face all four members of the White Evil Stopper Team, putting even more pressure on them than when they faced the Black Evil Stopper Team.
Shortly after Elder Li spoke, Leng Bai couldn't withstand the onslaught, being broken through by his opponent, falling to the ground and losing his fighting capability.
He angrily smashed the ground with his fist!
He had unexpectedly become the first one to be broken through!
The team member changed direction, rushing to aid their teammate. Su Xiao was already facing two opponents, and with another one joining, the pressure doubled.
His once agile movements became somewhat sluggish, as if trapped in quicksand.
After a few moves, he was also defeated.
"Are we going to stop at the White Evil Stopper Team?" Su Xiao, lying on the ground, glanced towards Lin Xiu's direction.
Han Yue's Swordsmanship was flawless, exquisite, and unparalleled. Not only did she fend off attacks, but she also blocked Lin Xiu's movements.
On her sword, Qi covered every inch. Every time she clashed with Lin Xiu, the Qi surged, dissipating a bit, and also disarming Lin Xiu's force.
This was the world of Dou Spirit Realm, where Qi condensed into substance, different from simply adhering as in Dou Grandmaster Realm.
In the Dou Spirit Realm, Qi had broader applications; when infused into Dou Techniques, it could enhance their power, and when applied to weapons, it could produce various effects.
"Junior, if you don't have any other techniques, then the Fire Energy Hunting Competition is about to end," Han Yue's beautiful eyes flickered as she scrutinized Lin Xiu. She felt that the final battle shouldn't be so ordinary, lacking suspense.
Ding!
With a sweep of his sword, Lin Xiu pushed Han Yue back and caught sight of Xiu Yan being overwhelmed.
The four members of the White Evil Stopper Team turned their gazes towards him.
"It's about time," Lin Xiu remained composed upon seeing this scene. Instead, a barely perceptible curve appeared at the corner of his mouth, as if he had been waiting for this moment all along.
Clang!
Plunging his sword into the ground, Lin Xiu formed hand seals with both hands. The pale green wind and silver thunder surged out from within him.
Two different-colored strands of Dou Qi spun around Lin Xiu's feet, continuously spreading upwards.
The Dou Qi swirled around his body, merging together as the sound of wind whistling and thunder rumbling filled the air.
"Secret Technique: Wind and Thunder Shattering Limits!"
