76 Top 4 confirmed

◎The extreme cold arrives, freezing in an instant!◎

Gu Hezhi stood up, the crosses on his wrists swaying slightly, and he said, "Leave it to me."

"Chief Gu, come on!!" Yu Li and Guo Yunzheng clenched their fists and encouraged.

"Well, I won't let you down." Gu Hezhi looked at them and smiled gently.

Huangfu Wen on the other side teased, "Hurry up, Chief. If you delay any longer, the competition will begin."

Gu Hezhi ignored Huangfu Wen's teasing, took a step forward and turned to walk into the arena.

On Qingyun's side, Xu Qinghuai looked at Hua Zhuru worriedly and said, "Ahua, come on!"

"Your tone really shows that you don't have any confidence in me, Old Xu!" Hua Zhuru glared at Xu Qinghuai as he walked onto the field, saying:

"I'll try my best! I want to see just how powerful the deified one is!"

Hua Zhuru stood in the arena, the breeze blowing through her hair. She raised her hand and the blue-ringed octopus that had been hiding appeared beside her, waving its tentacles.

As the countdown reached zero, Hua Zhuru raised her hand, pulled out a sharp broadsword from behind her, and rushed towards Gu Hezhi. The blue-ringed octopus beside her instantly swelled up like a balloon, spitting out layers of transparent mist.

It instantly covered the entire venue, and drops of dew fell, directly corroding large holes in the ground.

“Ding! Ding! Ding—!!”

Gu Hezhi waved his hand and the cross on his bracelet instantly turned into a long sword. The man clenched his hand tightly and rushed forward to face the incoming fierce blade. In just a dozen breaths, the two had already fought dozens of times. Facing the poisonous rain falling from the sky, he was frozen before it even landed on him.

However, feeling the poisonous fog in the air increasing, he instantly increased the force of his sword swing, and icy energy rushed out of his body!

The ice-blue, dazzling sword light illuminated the entire venue. The ferocious icy power cut through several tentacles of the giant octopus and crashed into the transparent protective shield.

"boom--!!"

After being hit by this attack, Lanlan quickly shrank his body and came to his master's side.

Hua Zhuru was obviously no match for this sword. Although she had anticipated Gu Hezhi's ability, it was only when they actually fought that she could clearly feel the suffocating feeling of oppression!

Gu Hezhi's eyes were cold and blazing, like a glacier that had been there for tens of millions of years. He slashed his hand holding the cross, and clusters of hard ice crystals emerged from the ground, guarding the man standing in the center. The slight chill blocked the lethal toxins in the air. He spoke calmly:

"A fight like this is just a waste of time. Show me your strongest attack!"

Hua Zhuru noticed that the toxins in the air were separated, gritted her teeth, and said, "Okay! Then let me see if Yunchen's chief can break through my domain! Lanlan!"

The blue-ringed octopus, which had shrunk to the size of a fist, merged with Hua Zhuru, and a dazzling colorful light exploded!

Off the court, Huangfu Wen looked at him and shook his head, saying, "He Zhi really doesn't want to delay any time. It's only been less than 2 or 3 minutes!"

Yu Li looked at the domain that Hua Zhuru had unfolded in the field. From Gao Wei's perspective, the power of rules in her domain was like a series of constantly changing colorful rings squeezing each other, just like the rings on the blue-ringed octopus, colorful but extremely poisonous!

Hua Zhuru's domain is like a kaleidoscope, with mottled colors flickering in it. The bizarre and dazzling colors make people dazed and immersed in it at the first sight.

She injected the lines of rules into her domain, and clusters of colorful, transparent, unidentified objects piled up into a mountain. Carrying invisible poison, they transformed into bizarre creatures and attacked the man standing motionless in the domain!

Gu Hezhi looked at the scene in this area and had an idea in his mind, but his expression remained cold, as if he felt no threat, and he directly threw the cross in his hand!

The silver cross draws a graceful arc!

In front of these massive monsters, the cross looked incredibly small. Hua Zhuru's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and she launched an all-out attack. Countless monsters opened their piercing mouths or raised their sharp claws, skirting the cross and charging towards the man.

"call--!"

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, bringing with it a biting chill that pierced through the bone marrow.

The chill enveloped the cross, and the biting icy wind carried endless ice crystals and gathered on the cross.

In just a moment, a frost cross hundreds of meters long appeared in Hua Zhuru's territory. Carrying the power of the rule of annihilation, it directly tore open her territory and attacked her, unstoppable!

“Bang!!!——”

The silver cross, covered in countless ice crystals, brushed past her cheek before falling to the ground with a final thud! Thick ice crystals burst forth, like blooming ice flowers! Hua Zhuru's vibrant realm instantly shattered like a mirror, vanishing into thin air.

The rolling storm caused by this attack contained endless coldness, which directly froze those alien transparent creatures!

The cold wind is howling!

The entire arena fell silent in an instant. Gu Hezhi was still standing there, his expression unchanged. Only the sound of the cold wind ruffling his clothes remained.

Hua Zhuru felt that her body was being frozen continuously, and the horrible chill spread from her cheeks to her whole body at an extremely fast speed.

She moved her fingers, and the field just now directly consumed all her supernatural powers. Now she could only rely on willpower to hold on.

She looked at Gu Hezhi for the last time, feeling somewhat unwilling. However, she had tried her best but still couldn't defeat the man in front of her. This reminded her of the first round, when the chief was defeated by Yu Li with the same blow. She felt mixed emotions.

Finally, she could only sigh helplessly and said, "I give up."

[Yun Chen vs. Qing Yun, round three, Yun Chen wins!]

Gu Hezhi listened to the host's excited words, came to Hua Zhuru to help her pull out her own power of rules, took back the cross and then went off the stage.

The arena was left with small potholes and a crack dozens of meters long, as if the earth was torn apart, which was a spectacular sight.

Yu Li was very excited when she saw Gu He's exit. "I feel like Chief Gu seems to have a deeper understanding of the rules than before."

"Well, I've had some insights recently, aren't you the same?" He raised his eyes to look at the girl, his eyes no longer as cold as before.

"Well, yes." Yu Li nodded as she thought of her two promotions.

Coach Guan was also a little impressed when watching the conversation between the two, especially Yu Li. Her growth was unique. She broke through to S-level in less than a year after entering school, and her comprehension of the laws was comparable to Gu Hezhi.

As he thought about this, he began to look forward to seeing what kind of brilliant performance these little guys would have in the once-in-a-decade Star League.

......

In the medical room, Hua Zhuru was lying on the hospital bed, and Xu Qinghuai was sitting on a chair, peeling an apple with his own dagger as thin as a cicada's wing.

Hua Zhuru watched his movements, her brows twitching as she asked, "Are you going to give it to me to eat?"

"Huh? Ah Hua, you finally woke up. I was really scared when you suddenly fainted after you got off the stage!" Xu Qinghuai kept moving, and circles of apple peels fell into the trash can.

"I didn't see you being scared!" Hua Zhuru complained.

"Looks like you should be fine." Xu Qinghuai smiled as he heard her words.

Hua Zhuru was a little angry when she saw his smiling face: "We really lost the game now! I tried so hard to break through, but in the end I still didn't win the championship!!!"

"Okay, okay, Ahua, don't be angry. We still have time, don't we?" Xu Qinghuai saw her face turning red with anger and quickly persuaded her.

"Hmph, I hope Yunchen can win the championship in the future, otherwise we won't be so embarrassed to lose this time." Hua Zhuru snatched the peeled apple and broke it open to vent her anger.

"Ahua, you have great confidence in Yunchen." After hearing her say this, Xu Qinghuai took the apple she threw to him and started to eat it.

"Of course, aren't you different? From what I've observed, Gu Hezhi and Yu Li have a deep understanding of the rules." Hua Zhuru said.

"Yeah, I'm looking forward to their match later." Xu Qinghuai said, thinking of the scene where Yu Li and Yun Xiuzhu got along with each other before the match.

He frowned and began to think about whether he should find a time to tell Yu Li about Yun Xiuzhu's identity after the league ended. However, thinking that this might be related to some secrets of the Yun family, he was in a dilemma for a moment.

Yu Li, who didn't know all this, watched the games of other teams in the next few days. The teams that made it to the quarterfinals were all strong in their own way. The final four to two were determined by drawing lots: Yun Chen VS Gran, First Military Academy VS Yewar.

In the draw venue, when Donores saw the result, his eyes suddenly became sharp. He looked at Gu Hezhi and Yu Li on the other side with a fiery look as if he wanted to burn a hole in both of them.

Yu Li got goosebumps from such a look and quickly hid behind Gu Hezhi, thinking that the chief had been harassed by Donores, the battle maniac, for more than a year and should not mind.

Gu Hezhi didn't mind. His deep blue eyes met Donores's gaze and he opened his mouth and said silently: See you at the game.

Donores understood what he said and laughed wildly. He reached out and smoothed his black and red dyed hair, then led Gran's team out of the venue.

Huangfu Xi from the First Military Academy was a little disappointed with the result. He really wanted to fight with Yun Chen.

Finnian, the chief of Yewar, was dressed in a simple white priest's uniform, with long light golden hair reaching his waist. He looked very indifferent, but when he looked at Yuli, there was a hint of curiosity in his light golden eyes. She had the aura of our Lord, but she was indeed a human being, not a Winged Clan member. It was really strange.

Although he was a little curious in his heart, he did not show it.

Yu Li did not notice this hidden gaze, but Mo Yan took a look and after realizing that it was the follower of his clone, he lost all interest.

Coach Guan then came over to them and said, "The three-round battle format has been confirmed: 5v5, 5v5, and 1v1."

"Pfft?!" Huangfu Wen spat out the water in his mouth when he heard the number of people. "Coach, are you serious?"

In the end, such a team battle was equivalent to Gu Hezhi and Yu Li having to fight two games in a row in a very short period of time. It was a great torture to their supernatural power consumption and willpower, especially when they were facing Gran and his group of fighting maniacs.

"Yes, that's how it was drawn. This luck is really..." Coach Guan said this with some helplessness. Finally, he looked at Gu Hezhi and Yu Li with concern:

“You two…”

"Don't worry, coach, I can do it. After all, I can heal myself." Yu Li was a little looking forward to it.

"Well, leave it to me, I will lead them to victory." Gu Hezhi said lightly, but his tone was firm, as if he was stating a fact.
