The third match: Chen Fan vs. Zhang Yi.

Chen Fan: Victory.

......

Fourth match: Gao Yuanzhi vs. Liu Haihao.

Liu Haihao: Winner.

......

The fifth match...

The sixth match...

As time went by, all eight matches in the third round came to an end.

In this round of competition, He Xie and An Ruoli's performances were both very impressive, leaving the senior students in the audience looking on with disbelief. Are all the freshmen these days this fierce?

He Xie, in particular, has been utterly dominant in every match over the three rounds, with no opponent able to last even a single round against him.

It's absolutely incredible.

Meanwhile, many people were also discussing the palm strike that had just descended from the sky.

Especially the bigwigs in the leadership seats, almost all of them are using their connections to investigate which bigwig has come to Shanhai City.

Unfortunately, the investigation yielded nothing after a long time.

Because Shen Shou is very mysterious, very few people know his strength.

Even his student Lu Youwen was unaware of this.

The only one who might know is He Xie, who used the "Know Yourself and Know Your Enemy" card on him.

Half an hour later, the fourth round of the competition began.

There are four matches in total, with the quarterfinals taking place in the semifinals.

They are respectively:

Match 1: An Ruoli vs. Chen Fan.

Match 2: He Xie vs. Qiu Zilu.

Match 3: Liu Haihao vs. Li Guang

Match 4: Zhang Ruoli vs. Zheng Hao

Of the eight contestants in the fourth round, apart from He Xie and An Ruoli, the others were all senior students from the all-around class.

The moment the matching results came out, An Ruoli and He Xie received the most votes.

An Ruoli is highly popular because she is the only girl among the eight contestants and is the hope of all the girls in the school.

Almost every girl in the audience unconditionally supported An Ruoli, cheering her on from the stands.

He Xie is highly popular because many people want to witness a miracle and become one of the witnesses to the rise of a legendary figure.

After all, He Xie is only a freshman who has been studying for less than a year. If he can defeat Qiu Zilu, the student council president, in this fourth round of the competition, that would be incredibly impressive.

He will likely shock the entire Nine Provinces and become the most talented genius in the human realm.

"The fourth round of the competition is about to begin!"

"Please welcome the two contestants for the first match, An Ruoli from the 22nd All-Around Class and Chen Fan from the 2019 All-Around Class, to the stage to prepare."

On the stage, the referee announced loudly to the waiting area in front.

Upon hearing the commotion, the two people in the waiting area quickly emerged and, under the watchful eyes of thousands of teachers and students, leisurely stepped onto the stage.

"An Shen, you're the best!"

"An Shen, keep it up! You must meet He Xie in the finals and have an unprecedented, unparalleled intra-school competition where both of you are freshmen!"

"Answer, my brother is a top genius on the battlefield of all races. He's currently single. Could I ask you for his WeChat ID?"

"......"

As soon as An Ruoli stepped onto the stage, most of the girls in the audience got excited.

Many no longer cared about their image and just shouted at the top of their lungs.

Conversely, the senior student who was An Ruoli's opponent was completely invisible, receiving no cheers whatsoever.

There are many reasons.

For example, if someone isn't good-looking enough, they won't attract casual fans.

For example, most of the people who know him are senior students, and they are all relatively introverted and rarely shout out in a fit of emotion.

For example, this senior student named Chen Fan is a rather introverted person with few friends.

All of these factors combined to create the situation where he became invisible.

"It's so noisy!"

Hearing the cheers coming from all directions, Chen Fan felt extremely irritated and wanted to rush into the audience and yell at the girls who were shouting non-stop.

Compared to others, he was a genius among geniuses at the Mountain and Sea Evolution University, a strongman who could consistently rank in the top five of the top 100.

However, at this moment, he did not receive a single cheer from the audience.

Even more, you could hear all sorts of disparaging whispers from the audience, saying things like they were already considering An Ruoli's opponents in the semi-finals, or even the finals, completely disregarding him.

"The only hope for all the girls in the school? Ha, I'll ruthlessly destroy those flowers in front of everyone later, and let you scream!"

Chen Fan said, his heart filled with resentment.

This shows that he felt extremely unbalanced at that moment.

He couldn't wait to deliver a powerful blow to An Ruoli right now, to prove his strength and slap the faces of all those who didn't believe in him.

"Are you two ready?"

Seeing that An Ruoli and Chen Fan were both standing quietly, the referee couldn't help but ask.

"alright."

"alright."

The two spoke almost in unison.

Upon hearing this, the referee immediately raised his hand and shouted, "The duel begins!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Fan opened his mouth and bit his arm without saying a word, piercing his flesh with his teeth and letting the blood stimulate his taste buds.

The next second, he, who had originally looked somewhat thin and refined, suddenly had his hair flying wildly, his expression becoming extremely ferocious, and his body was surrounded by a bloody aura that emitted a faint smell of blood.

"Holy crap, Blood Rage!"

In the audience, a well-informed student shouted in shock.

Upon hearing this, He Xie, who was in the waiting area, immediately turned his attention to the arena.

He vaguely remembered the biological skill Blood Rage; he had seen it on Chen Peilin before using the Know Your Enemy Card, but he never knew exactly what the effect of this biological skill was.

Now that there's one right there on the stage, he needs to observe him carefully.

"Chen Fan actually received a Qilin blood transplant? When did that happen? How come I didn't hear anything about it?"

In the waiting area, the boy named Li Guang looked shocked.

As Chen Fan's classmate, he was completely unaware that Chen Fan had received a Qilin blood transplant, which truly surprised him.

Sitting next to him, Qiu Zilu narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "Chen Fan is hiding so well, he probably wants to ambush me."

"It should be."

On the other side, the boy named Zheng Hao nodded and then said, "Chen Fan is extremely competitive. He lost to you in the semi-finals last year, so he's probably holding back a lot of frustration."

"But to be honest, I never expected that he had secretly received a transplant of Qilin blood. No wonder his temper has become so fiery in the past six months."

He Xie, who was also in the waiting area, listened quietly to the conversation of these people.

Upon hearing the words "Qilin Blood," he couldn't help but feel curious and immediately took out his phone to search for it online.

When I found out, I was terrified.

A single 100ml vial of Qilin blood costs 100 million.

For it to be transplanted into the body and take effect, at least 1000ml of it is needed!

That's 1 billion in total!

hiss!

Local tycoon!

He Xie was shocked by this and could not calm down for a long time.

This Mountain and Sea Evolution University is really something else; everyone here is either a second-generation rich kid or a second-generation heir.

As he was reflecting on these things, the two men on the ring were locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle.

Saying it was a close call is not quite right; to be more accurate, it was Chen Fan chasing after An Ruoli and beating her.

"Junior Sister An is probably doomed. Chen Fan's Blood Rage skill, which increases physical strength but reduces intelligence, is exactly the nemesis of mental-type powerhouses."

"It really proves the saying that idiots beat experts. As long as my intelligence is low enough, your illusions will have no effect on me."

"Indeed, although Chen Fan is currently finding it difficult to attack that junior sister, and is constantly being attacked by Junior Sister An while she is dodging, this junior sister's physical body is too weak and cannot cause enough damage to Chen Fan's body. It looks like she is just tickling him."

"Chen Fan can make countless mistakes, but Junior Sister An would probably be finished if she made just one mistake."

Several senior students in the waiting area commented on the two on the stage, and most of them were not optimistic about An Ruoli.

At this moment, Qiu Zilu looked at He Xie and asked, "Junior Brother He, who do you think will win this duel on the stage?"

"I don't know," He Xieping said calmly.

He knew nothing about An Ruoli and Chen Fan. One was said to be more than ten times stronger than during the freshman competition, and the other was a complete stranger. He didn't have enough information to analyze their chances of winning.

One minute later, the referee announced something from the ring.

"The victor is An Ruoli!"

As soon as the sound came out, the girls in the audience got excited and screamed with excitement.

An Ruoli made it to the semifinals, tying the best intra-school competition record for a girl in the school's history. All the girls in the school felt proud of her.

Meanwhile, the five senior students in the waiting area all looked on incredulously.

Chen Fan, who possesses the biological skill Blood Rage, actually lost to a freshman girl whose main means of output is mental power.

Blood Rage is a deadly counter to mental-based powerhouses!

How could Chen Fan possibly lose?!

Several senior students in the waiting area found it hard to accept this fact. They couldn't understand how Chen Fan, who had been firmly in control of the ring, could suddenly and inexplicably lose.

The senior students in the waiting area were puzzled, as were the important figures in the leadership seats.

An Ruoli was clearly being suppressed by Chen Fan's attacks, so how did she suddenly collapse to the ground and lose consciousness?

Something's not right!

At this moment, no one knew what had happened or how An Ruoli had suddenly turned the tide of the battle.

Of course, except for He Xie.

The bloodline sensing of the enslaved essence can not only be used to locate, but also to sense the enslaved object's every move and observe her every subtle action.

Just as Chen Fan collapsed, He Xie sensed a substance emanating from An Ruoli.

Colorless, odorless, and formless.

But it seems... to contain extremely high levels of energy.

This substance looks familiar!

It's flower poison!

However, it's an upgraded version of flower poison!

He Xie was somewhat puzzled by this, as only demonic plants could release such a thing as flower poison.

An Ruoli dared to release flower poison in front of everyone just now. Isn't she afraid of exposing her secret that she is a demonic plant?

While He Xie was thinking about these things, An Ruoli returned to the waiting area.

The five senior students in the waiting area immediately turned their gazes to her, their minds filled with complex emotions.

An Ruoli's behavior just now was too strange. She inexplicably knocked Chen Fan down, which made the senior students feel a lot of pressure.

"Please welcome the two contestants for the second match, He Xie from the Class of 2022 and Qiu Zilu from the Class of 2019, to the stage to prepare!"

Soon, the referee's booming voice rang out again from the arena outside.

He Xie heard the sound and went outside.

As he passed by An Ruoli, An Ruoli, as always, said "Go for it!" to him.

This time, he didn't ignore An Ruoli, but simply responded with an "Mmm".

An Ruoli was both surprised and flattered, and her heart was filled with joy.

Throughout the year, He Xie had always been indifferent to her, often ignoring her at the drop of a hat.

And just now, He Xie actually responded to her!

This made her feel that her behavior of shamelessly striking up conversations was the right thing to do.

As long as we can keep going, then getting back together is just around the corner!

Meanwhile, the two fighters for the second match have already stepped into the ring.

As soon as the two stepped onto the stage, the audience immediately started discussing it.

One is currently the top freshman, and the other is currently the top student on campus. The clash between these two top students is highly topical.

Everyone was analyzing the outcome of the duel based on their existing information about the two opponents, and calculating their respective chances of winning.

Even the bigwigs in the audience were no exception, all giving their own analyses.

Some say that Qiu Zilu is incredibly talented, having become the top student in the school during her junior year last year. Her strength and talent are among the best in the school's history.

Some say that He Xie's performance in the first three rounds was too amazing, and the talent he showed was by no means inferior to Qiu Zilu's. To exaggerate a bit, he might even be stronger than Qiu Zilu.

After this analysis, the odds of He Xie and Qiu Zilu winning are roughly 50/50.

Yes, this analysis is as good as no analysis at all.

After analyzing for a long time, I still couldn't figure out who had the better chance of winning, so it was all for nothing.

However, you can't really blame them.

They had been humiliated by He Xie and An Ruoli too many times in the previous rounds.

Every time it seemed like these two freshmen were about to be eliminated, they would instantly defeat their opponents.

It made them look like clueless idiots.

After doing this a few times, they all developed psychological trauma.

How could I dare to make any random analyses?

......

On the arena.

Seeing that both players were standing still, the referee, as usual, asked:

"Are you two ready?"

"alright."

"alright."

The two answered one after the other.

Seeing this, the referee nodded, then expertly raised his hand and slammed it down, saying, "The duel begins!"

"Buzz—"

A series of loud bangs rang out, and Qiu Zilu, who had been calm just moments before, suddenly transformed into a murderous battle maniac, rushing towards He Xie with lightning speed.

Facing the rapidly approaching Qiu Zilu, He Xie did not move his feet at all. He simply raised his right fist slowly and then slammed it down on the rapidly approaching Qiu Zilu.

This punch looked simple and unadorned, lacking any sense of power.

But for some reason, Qiu Zilu saw a large character for "death" on the fist.

......
