Chapter 101: Brutal Fighting Techniques!
The situation on the high platform was unpredictable, something most of the inner courtyard students had never witnessed before.
"Why bother pretending like this when you could just surrender directly?"
The elder approached Cheng Xiu and examined him before rising to announce the outcome of the match.
"The student is unconscious! Xiao Ze wins!"
This result immediately caused an uproar throughout the audience. He really did faint!
The freshmen who entered the inner courtyard with Xiao Ze recalled his actions in the outer courtyard, explaining them to the senior students.
Upon hearing about Xiao Ze's mysterious methods, all the senior students fell silent.
What we saw was just the tip of the iceberg of Xiao Ze's strength.
There's still much more to be revealed.
How many cards does he have up his sleeve? Isn't even the Earth-tier combat skill his biggest card?
Even after Xiao Ze stepped down from the stage, the intense discussion continued.
Speculations arose about what Xiao Ze's mysterious methods might be.
Even the top-ranked students looked at Xiao Ze with shock.
Because even they couldn't figure out what methods Xiao Ze used! Except for those few students at the top.
Everyone else wore expressions of confusion and shock.
Well, Xiao Ze has already reached the peak of Dou Spirit.
His use of the Calamity Poison has also reached a new level.
Naturally, it's hard to detect, except for those elders on stage.
Among the students present, only a few can perceive it.
When combined with water attributes, the Calamity Poison can produce remarkable effects against enemies weaker than oneself.
This means that Xiao Ze is basically not afraid of being surrounded by a sea of people.
Even hundreds or thousands of peak-level Dou Spirit experts at his level would only end up frustrated against his Calamity Poison.
However, this is only the inner courtyard competition. There's no need to be so ruthless between academies; making someone faint is almost enough.
Moreover, Xiao Ze has been developing derivative abilities recently.
With the advancement of alchemy, his control over flames has also greatly improved.
He is considering whether to mix the Calamity Poison with fire attribute Dou Qi.
Would using such flames to refine pills directly change the properties of the pills?
The unexpected speed at which this battle ended left the Grand Elder, Su Qian, stunned.
But today, there are twenty-five matches to be held, and Xiao Ze's opening match suits his intentions.
"This kid is quite good at saving everyone's time."
Su Qian drew another bamboo stick, and upon seeing the number on it, the Grand Elder fell silent for a moment.
"Number thirteen!"
The field fell into silence, followed by an uproar. The Grand Elder's luck is quite good! He directly drew out the second and first places.
Of course, there were also those two difficult brothers!
Tang Hao climbed onto the stage with a bitter face, while Zi Yan leisurely walked up the stairs.
After the elder announced the start, Zi Yan's fist slammed onto the high platform beneath her feet.
Amidst the horrified gazes of countless people.
Visible cracks spread all the way to Tang Hao's feet, and a powerful force gushed out.
Before Tang Hao could react, he felt his body loosen, and the elder intervened in time.
Su Qian glared at Zi Yan.
"Why use such force? You can't harm people's lives!"
Zi Yan stuck out her tongue at Su Qian, murmuring, "Seems like I'm not as fast as Xiao Ze..."
Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder clenched his fists.
This kid's strange desire for victory!
Xiao Ze couldn't help but laugh inwardly at Zi Yan's behavior.
She's comparing herself to me, seeing who can defeat the opponent faster?
Although over a thousand years old, his thoughts are still as simple as a child's.
But her opponent suffered quite a bit, being scared like that.
On the other side, as soon as the elder released Tang Hao.
Tang Hao fell to the ground with a thud, his legs giving out.
If the elder hadn't intervened in time, he would probably have died on the spot, right?
His clothes were already soaked with cold sweat, and he looked at Zi Yan in horror.
Seeing her jump off the stage carelessly, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Other top-ranking students witnessing this scene couldn't help but swallow nervously.
Fighting with Xiao Ze just results in an unclear defeat.
But fighting with this brute force king might actually endanger their lives!
Some even decided that if they were drawn to fight the brute force king in the next round.
They would directly pretend to be ill and escape.
No one can guarantee that the elder will intervene in time, and they dare not risk their lives.
The first two battles ended surprisingly quickly, but the students present were still unsatisfied.
Because these were fights they had never seen before, and the intense novelty was overwhelming.
They even looked forward to the next fights being as exciting as these two.
As spectators, they naturally enjoyed it.
But as participants, one directly fainted, and the other was scared into weakness.
The other top-ranking students watched with mixed feelings.
They secretly decided that if they really encountered these two monsters, they would surrender quickly!
The next fights were not as bizarre as the first two, but they were still exceptionally exciting.
The inner courtyard students cheered!
The biennial Strong Ranking Competition is truly remarkable!
Among them, the battles between Xiao Xuner and Xiao Yixian were particularly noteworthy.
In addition to their status as freshmen, their relationship with Xiao Ze also attracted attention.
Xiao Xuner's battle was swift and clean, like a butterfly dancing gracefully on the stage.
Agile and light, yet extremely explosive.
In less than five minutes, Xiao Xuner's fingertips, radiating with golden light, stopped inches from her opponent's forehead.
The audience erupted into cheers.
Xiao Xuner's battle was swift and clean, and the golden light on her body was dazzling and eye-catching, highly entertaining.
Xiao Yixian's fight, on the other hand, was brutal, causing the inner courtyard students to gulp nervously.
Also decided quickly within a short time, but when Xiao Yixian stepped down from the stage, the high platform was already riddled with holes.
The arena was in shambles, corroded by the Calamity Poison.
And Xiao Yixian's opponent expressed gratitude to the elder.
If it weren't for the elder's timely intervention, his body might have been as pitted as the high platform.
Su Qian looked at the ruined central arena, feeling puzzled about why this year's students seemed to enjoy destroying the high platform so much...
The inner courtyard competition lasted from dawn until night, completing the first round of matches.
Excitedly, the students discussed today's matches.
The discussions about Xiao Ze and Zi Yan's two matches were the most intense, followed by the top ten of the Strong Ranking and Xiao Yixian and Xiao Xuner.
The reason why Xiao Yixian and Xiao Xuner had such high discussion rates was naturally related to Xiao Ze.
They found that the two monsters who could be with Xiao Ze seemed to be monsters themselves!
Their fighting techniques were swift and brutal!
Especially Xiao Yixian's gentle appearance contrasting with her extremely cruel methods!
It's hard to believe that such a gentle-looking girl is actually a master poisoner!
As the students discussed today's matches, they looked forward to the matches of the next two days even more.
Compared to today's elimination matches, the next two days' matches are the real climax.
Especially for the top ten competitors, because being in the top ten represents the qualification to obtain the Origin Flame Heart Forging Body!
That's where the real competition lies!
