Bang!

The instant the metal pulse was blocked, Zhou Ting crashed to the ground, creating a huge dent in the concrete platform and sending dust flying.

At the same time, Kong Lei also landed lightly on the ground, his face pale.

He used a great deal of Gale Power in his Void-Breaking Blade attack. If he hadn't used the Void-Breaking Blade, he probably wouldn't have been able to block it in time. Therefore, although it consumed a lot of energy, he had no choice but to use it.

As the smoke and dust dissipated in the distance, before Kong Lei could even see clearly, several doctors were already treating Zhou Ting's injuries in the center of the depression. Their bodies emitted a large amount of light, enveloping Zhou Ting as if he were a silkworm cocoon.

The referee declared Kong Lei the winner, and thunderous applause and cheers erupted throughout the stadium.

Although Zhou Ting's spirit inspired everyone, Kong Lei was still their fan. At this moment, he used all his strength to prevent Zhou Ting from suffering an injury in return, which clearly proved once again that he was the undisputed champion of this regional league.

The crowd did not hold back their applause and cheers.

Kong Lei did not immediately greet the audience, but instead slowly walked up to Zhou Ting.

Zhou Ting landed relatively well, so he only suffered broken legs and a few ribs. Moreover, some residual metal-based supernatural abilities within him protected him.

So he is not in any danger, but it is clear that he will not be able to play in the next game.

This is precisely the drawback of Zhou Ting's tactic. If he had conceded defeat directly, he could have continued playing and at least earned points. However, in order to replace Kong Lei, he took a risky step and paid the price.

The doctors nearby were highly skilled, and after a while of treatment, Zhou Ting was able to speak with less pain.

"Zhou Ting, you are very skilled." Kong Lei planted his spear on the side of the arena and slowly walked up to him, saying, "You are a respectable opponent."

"Haha," Zhou Ting forced a smile, "I used all my strength but couldn't even hurt you. As expected of the genius of the number one high school in Linqing Prefecture, I, Zhou Ting, am completely convinced."

"Haha, take good care of your injuries. Rest today, and I'll have another big fight with you tomorrow."

"Alright, see you in the ranking tournament!"

Team competitions are divided into point-based matches and ranking matches. Point-based matches are a kind of elimination tournament. Only by obtaining enough points can you enter the ranking matches, the quarterfinals, and the final championship match.

Although Zhou Ting is unable to fight next, he still has confidence in his teammates. Even if their ranking is a little lower, they are more than capable of entering the ranking competition.

Kong Lei nodded, then turned and left with his spear.

Zhou Ting had confidence in his teammates, but Kong Lei had little confidence in them. If his teammates hadn't performed so poorly, he wouldn't have gone to such lengths to win five games.

So even though he had won the battle, he wasn't much happier than Zhou Ting.

After Zhou Ting and Kong Lei left the ring, the next match began immediately. However, the next match was not a clash between the three main teams, so not many people paid attention to it. In fact, many viewers chose to get up and go to the restroom when the next two contestants came on stage.

After all, the battle between Kong Lei and Zhou Ting was just too exciting. In comparison, the battles of other superpowered individuals looked as boring as children fighting.

While the league continued, the enforcement team on the field was not idle either. They were checking the surveillance cameras and looking for the guy who had come to gather information and violated the rules.

However, there were no surveillance cameras in the corridor of the preparation room, so they had to retrieve footage from a high-speed camera in the distance to see if it had captured any activity outside the preparation room.

Therefore, the investigation is progressing very slowly.

While everyone was investigating, Guan Wen, the instigator, slowly returned to the preparation room of the Tiannan City team.

"You're back." Everyone turned to look at Guan Wen as he walked in.

"You just missed a great fight."

"Oh, was the battle started by Kong Lei?"

"That's right, he and Zhou Ting gave us a wonderful performance. Zhou Ting wanted to use his serious injury to get Kong Lei off the stage, but in the end, he was no match for Kong Lei. However, it seems that Kong Lei also exhausted a lot. Even if he can rest for two games, he probably won't be at his peak when he comes back."

Guan Wen nodded, but didn't seem to care.

Although he didn't witness the battle, his stroll wasn't entirely fruitless.

"Everyone, I also have some good news to share."

"Oh, what news?" Everyone was taken aback. Wasn't this guy just out for a stroll to get some fresh air? Did he miss the exciting battle? Could something good have happened?

"I've gathered some intelligence."

"Whose intelligence is this?" Upon hearing this, a glint flashed in everyone's eyes.

"It's about Ye Ling from Dragon Moon City."

"Ye Ling from Dragon Moon City!" Everyone was shocked. Although the media called Ye Ling the third strongest, implying that she was inferior to Zhou Ting and Kong Lei, as an ability user, these participating team members would not take her lightly. After all, it was unknown what kind of strength an ability user of this level could display and what kind of fighting style she would have.
