The School Champions.h.i.+p Compet.i.tion.

At the venue for the compet.i.tion between the top hundred.

Liu Yuan had just returned from the ladies room. After glancing at her, Lu Ming's heart trembled. His gaze focused and he came to his senses only after a long time. This familiar feeling…

Heh.

She was becoming more and more interesting, wasn't she?

“What to do? What to do?”

Zhang Xiaopang cowered a little.

It was true.

He kept having the feeling that he could be killed by the team leader of Feng Lin team when they went on stage.

“You are feeling scared now?”

Lu Ming was speechless.

“I thought I would never come into contact with him in my life.”

Zhang Xiaopang was helpless as well.

His original plan was to take off after swindling him out of a sum of money. Even if that guy found out, he could not bothered with it due to many considerations. However, if he were to appear in front of him from time to time…

Oh.

Right.

It was not considered a crime to cause accidental injuries or deaths during the match between the top hundred…

What could he do about it?

He was desperate too!

Zhang Xiaopang glanced at Lu Ming sorrowfully. Didn't they agree to give up during the top hundred matches?

“Xiaopang. Do you know why I chose the few of you?”

Lu Ming suddenly asked.

“Why?”

Zhang Xiaopang was puzzled.

“Because besides Chang Liang, each of you has a secret.”

Lu Ming said calmly, “I chose Chang Liang to compliment my full moon but the rest of you. Haha, I'm afraid it's not that easy for you guys…”

“Is this true or not?”

Zhang Xiaopang was shocked.

In that case, Xia Yu also had secrets?

He could not tell!

Last time, the two of them had been chased out of their wits and he did not see Xia Yu making any move…

Lu Ming simply smiled.

There was a reason why a secret was kept secret. Of course, it was not for anyone else to know.

“I don't have any secrets,” Zhang Xiaopang said earnestly.

“Hehe.”

Lu Ming sneered coldly.

This guy's secret was the most obvious one. The reason was very simple. He had a tendency of courting death. If he was really a simple two-star Illusionist, he would have long been beaten to death…

His being alive was a secret in and of itself!

“If you really think that it's dangerous… When you encounter danger, just close in on them,” Lu Ming reminded.

“Really? Secret…”

Zhang Xiaopang's gaze swept across the rest of people.

Oo…

He, Xia Yu, Liu Yuan…

Wait a minute.

Liu Yuan?

Zhang Xiaopang cast an astonished gaze at her. Don't tell me that this girl who used Smog Maze to replace smoke bombs for the purpose of cosplay also has a secret?!

Impossible.

Zhang Xiaopang shook his head firmly.

For the sake of creating that thing, he investigated her!

She was very pure!

Her background was very simple too.

Even her ability was simple!

How was it possible for such a lady to have messy secrets?

What did Lu Ming mean then…

Zhang Xiaopang swept his gaze across and it suddenly landed on Liu Yuan's b.o.o.bs. Instantly, he was enlightened. A mysterious and faint smile emerged on his face. “Hey, Brother Lu, you have also gone astray now…”

“She's such a fine lady. What secret are you talking about… Judging from the scale… there should be at least a C… Tsk tsk…”

Zhang Xiaopang was very excited.

Glancing at Zhang Xiaopang, Lu Ming heaved a huge sigh.

Forget it.

He would not bring this up anymore.

Zhang Xiaopang deserved to be beaten to death!!!

Very soon…

Everyone was on standby. The first round of matches had begun.

Lu Ming and the group also entered the compet.i.tion ground under the gazes of over ten thousands of people. The one opposite them was of course the Feng Lin team whose aura was over tenfold of theirs!

The match had begun!

Bang!

Lights and shadows erupted.

A terrifying elemental ability vibrated in the air.

The pupils of Lu Ming and the group constricted. No one expected someone from Feng Lin to strike first the moment the judge announced the start of the match!

Flames!

Sky high flames landed!

Four-star group flame ability — Scorching Flame Hurricane!

Bang!

A horrifying hurricane appeared.

They condensed frightening flames that spun towards Lu Ming.

Obviously…

Toward a two-star team such as Lu Ming and the rest, this four-star cultivator did not want to waste his time at all. He simply used an AOE (Area of effect is a term used in many role-playing and strategy games to describe attacks or spells that can affect multiple targets within a specified area) move, wanting to annihilate them in seconds.

Bang!

Endless flames surged.

Shus.h.!.+

Lu Ming conveniently fished out a pile of Sword Aura Cards.

Bang!

Bang!

Horrifying Sword Auras traversed in the air.

A familiar scene occurred. The scorching flames that filled the sky were actually neutralized by the Autumn Water Sword Aura directly!

Yes.

Perhaps the Autumn Water Sword Aura was not as powerful as the Scorching Flame Hurricane. Nevertheless, Lu Ming had many cards and he used quant.i.ty to blast the Scorching Flame Hurricane into nothing!

This…

That four-star cultivator was obviously a little dazed. He did not come to his senses for a long time.

Sword Aura… could be played in this way?

“Look, I said that this won't work,” the leader of Feng Lin team scoffed.

According to rumors, Lu Ming's card creation speed was extremely terrifying. Especially with the Swordsman Card, any ability that competed on depletion rate was useless on him!

It was because this guy knew how to use the Sword Aura to confront you directly!

Therefore… this kind of ability was pointless!

“I will do it.”

He smiled nonchalantly.

Bang!

Ice blue hues condensed and appeared!

Water droplets appeared in the air.

He was actually a five-star Water Elementalist!

Buzz—

There was a heavy downpour.

Water droplets pelted and formed many strange and mysterious mirrors. At that instant, everyone on the compet.i.tion ground was isolated from one another. Ten people had to fend for themselves alone!

Shus.h.!.+

Shus.h.!.+

The mirror face formed many voids.

Chang Liang, Zhang Xiaopang, Xia Yu, Liu Yuan – An opponent appeared in front of each of them!

This was…

Five-star advanced ability — Ice Mirror Skill!

Function: Segregate the battlefield. The powerful ice mirror can segregate the battlefield directly into an infinite number of areas and transform the original team combat into one-on-one fights!

Wow—

There was a loud gasp from the audience.

Obviously…

No one expected this person to actually use a top-notch combat strategy ability as the first move on a two-star team!

“Why bother?”

Looking at the leader of Feng Lin team in front of him, Lu Ming was a little lost for words.

Come on.

You're a five-star, okay?!

They were not some team that was on the same level. Why did you need to use this Ice Mirror Skill!

All the group attacks, various plans, and shrouding abilities that they had prepared earlier had lost their feasibility at this moment. They would not be of any use!

What was the strength of Zhang Xiaopang and the rest?

Although they had some small secrets, they were still too weak!

Therefore…

They were most suited to be aides!

When they struck together, they could support one another and help Lu Ming unleash his greatest powers to defeat the opponent. However, once they were separated…

They would turn cold!

What could a few two-star cultivators do?

They would become punching bags!

“I said before. I am very serious about this,” the leader of Feng Lin team said as a matter of fact.

He had seen Lu Ming in the compet.i.tions before and knew that he possessed many mysterious and strange abilities. They could have originated from some legacies. Therefore, he had to take him seriously!

He did not want to fail at a supposedly easy task.

“Alright.”

Lu Ming rubbed his head.

It seemed that…

He would be the only one left.

He reckoned that, very soon, Xia Yu and the rest would be disqualified. At most, ‘Liu Yuan' will be the last one standing. This fight was more difficult than he had imagined!

“This is too vicious!”

The judges on the judging panel seat shook their head unanimously.

Ice Mirror Skill!

This was the forte of the team leader of Feng Lin!

Even if the opponent's ability was of the same level, they would be defeated too! The reason was very simple. Although Ice Mirror Skill only segregated the battleground, as to how it was segregated… This was determined by the person casting it!

He would be the one to allocate the manpower resources!

How could they win this?

The only way was to break the arrangement soon as possible!

“Feng Lin's team is not adept at fighting as a group!

Their combat strategy is a special one. The team leader is the core of the team and he constructs segregated battlefields. Each of the members are skilled at one-on-one fights.

In a direct confrontation, their opponent will be at an absolute disadvantage.”

The judges were well aware.

How could they defeat Feng Lin?

It was very simple.

They could force them to fight them as a team. They would win then!

Of course.

This was under in a situation where the abilities of the two teams were on par.

A team like that of Lu Ming was too weak and was not counted…

They did not have any chance of success right from the beginning. Therefore, be it the audience or the judges, they just wanted to be in for a good show and did not even bother to discuss.

Because it would be meaningless.

In the center of the ice mirror.

Lu Ming and Feng Lin confronted each other.

Cras.h.!.+

There was a deafening sound.

A side of the ice mirror suddenly shattered.

One of Feng Lin's team members stepped out. The void and pa.s.sageway behind him also shattered suddenly. They did not see anyone but a broken mirror.

“Who is your opponent?”

Lu Ming squinted his eyes.

“That bald-head.”

Feng Lin's team member laughed. “His head glows. It's certainly interesting. If he's at the same level as me, I may really become blind. However, he's too weak and I have blasted him out.”

Blasted out…

Lu Ming sighed. True enough…

“You're not anxious?”

The leader of Feng Lin team looked at Lu Ming.

If he were Lu Ming, he would definitely strike at this moment!

This was because the faster he made a move, the higher his chances of winning. Along with the shattering of the ice mirrors, his team members appeared one by one and Lu Ming's chance of winning were also constantly reducing!

“I trust my team members.”

Lu Ming smiled.

“Let's wait and see then.”

The leader of Feng Lin team could not stifle his laugh.

His chances of winning were increasing but Lu Ming did not seem anxious. Why should he feel anxious then?

Facing an opponent like Lu Ming, he had treated him like his peer right from the start, especially after he had heard about the Lunar Shadow legacy!

Since you want to wait, I will keep you company then!

Each time they disqualified a player, Feng Lin's team would have a higher probability of winning!

Shus.h.!.+

He waved his hands.

One mirror face became very transparent.

They could actually view the scene in the mirror from their location. That void formed by the ice mirror… Xia Yu was competing with a cultivator!

He was obviously a four-star!

“Swoos.h.!.+”

“Swoos.h.!.+”

Arrow glints were shooting everywhere!

Xia Yu, who was initially only a two-star, actually had a terrifying outburst of energy at this point in time!

His arrows became very strange and mysterious and his aura very powerful. When he bent his bow and shot the arrow, every arrow erupted with a shocking prowess!

Three-star peak!

Yes.

Every arrow shot by Xia Yu was actually a three-star peak!

Whoos.h.!.+

Whoos.h.!.+

There were nine consecutive shots and the prowess was stupefying!

However…

The person before his eyes did not make a move at all. Instead, he was defending stubbornly. A s.h.i.+eld condensed by energy was suspended in front of his body to block all of Xia Yu's attacks!

This was a four-star cultivator who majored in defense!

Bang!

Xia Yu's nine arrows did not break the defense. He had lost his energy and was sent flying out.

Defeat!

“Is it really good for you guys to do this?”

Lu Ming was between laughter and tears.

These guys were too evil!

You're competing with two-stars!

Forget it that you separated us for the fight and used four-star vs. two-star, you actually shamelessly adopted pure defense combat skill to deal with a Sharpshooter like Xia Yu…

He was shocked.

It was true.

The leader of Feng Lin team was really too cautious.

“Isn't it perfect?”

The leader of Feng Lin team smiled. “Although Xia Yu did not display his powers in the previous matches, he gives me a very different feeling…

Especially that bow!

Therefore, I made some preparations beforehand.”

At this point of the conversation, he looked at that team member who had defeated Chang Liang. “If I ask you to deal with Xia Yu, what do you think will be the outcome?”

Uh—

After pondering carefully, that team member instantly felt ashamed.

If it was him…

He might possibly lose when he was confronted with Xia Yu's sudden outburst!

He would lose miserably!

The combat ability erupted by this young lad who was seemingly a two-star could actually fight a four-star. Even a four-star could lose if they were not on their guard!

It was too astonis.h.i.+ng!

“Look. This is the reason that we needed such a strategy.”

The leader of Feng Lin team was as calm as still water.

“I take my hat off you!”

What else could Lu Ming say?

The other party really took them as opponents – real opponents!

Clang!

Gla.s.s shattered.

The team member who defeated Xia Yu stepped out.

Shus.h.!.+

The leader of Feng Lin team waved his hands and another mirror appeared. Zhang Xiaopang was inside and his opponent was also one of the four-stars in the Feng Lin team!

Bang!

Bang!

That was an Energy Warrior.

He actually attacked from Zhang Xiaopang's side suddenly and was punching him continuously.

He was violent and torturous.

Zhang Xiaopang tried to cast an illusion but it was useless!

“He majors in mental strength and physique!” Feng Lin said nonchalantly. “His mental strength is very strong. Zhang Xiaopang's illusion is not effective on him.”

Yes.

The existence of the Ice Mirror Skill allowed Feng Lin to restrain abilities with his fingertips! In the past, they had defeated two five-star teams with appropriate arrangements!

Battlefield segregation!

It was invincible!

Furthermore, this was merely a two-star team.

Cras.h.!.+

Cras.h.!.+

Zhang Xiaopang had been effectively ravaged.

Perhaps Zhang Xiaopang's actions had caused them embarra.s.sment. Therefore, they were very harsh with their blows. There were already traces of blood on Zhang Xiaopang's body and he seemed seriously hurt…

“That should do already.”

Lu Ming sighed.

These guys were too much.

“He deserves a beating,” the leader of Feng Lin team said coldly.

“I know.”

Lu Ming's brows furrowed slightly at the sight of the situation behind the mirror. “Don't overdo it.”

“For a young person to grow, he has to learn some lessons, right?”

The leader of Feng Lin team said nonchalantly, “Students like you are ignorant but you can't be ignorant to this extent? You guys have to remember one thing!

Ultimately, the powerful ones will rule this world!

I'm a five-star.

He's a two-star.

He dared to scheme against me. Of course, he has to pay the price.”

Feng Lin said coldly, “Since he likes courting death, I will let him court death thoroughly.”

“It's very logical.”

Lu Ming was deeply convinced. “You're right. The powerful ones will ultimate rule this world. Therefore, I suggest that you guys quickly stop…”

“So what if we don't?”

One team member stepped out impatiently and furiously. He was not as good-tempered as his team leader.

“It's nothing.”

Lu Ming shook his head. He could only exclaim his regrets. “Don't tell me you didn't think of a problem?”

What?

The duo was puzzled.

“He likes to court death too much… Someone who's that good at courting death… How is he still alive?”

Lu Ming's words were deep and profound. “After all, it is not the first time that he's done some things…”

Oh no!

The heart of the leader of Feng Lin team suddenly skipped a beat.

Right then…

Bang!

A side of the ice mirror suddenly shattered.

The hard and tough ice mirror had been blasted into a hollow.

The Energy Warrior who was ravaging Zhang Xiaopang was shocked. One hand quietly appeared behind him and pushed his body lightly.

Bang!

A surge of terrifying energy suddenly flowed into his body.

Pfft!

His entire body shattered two pieces of gla.s.s as he was sent flying out. He actually landed on the audience, spewing blood all over. He simply fainted from the severe injuries!

And at the spot where he originally stood, out of that hollow of gla.s.s… a gentle and feeble figure stepped out.

It was actually… Liu Yuan!
