The knife couldn't break through his mental barrier at all. Lin Yiran knew she couldn't escape, so she simply stood there with her arms crossed, watching Xie Qianyin walk towards her with a sinister smile.

"Weren't you running away?"

Why did you stop running?

"Are you going to keep running?"

Lin Yiran waved her hand helplessly and said, "If you're willing to let me go, I'll naturally run away."

This remark made Xie Qian laugh in anger. After scoffing, he asked Lin Yiran, "Why don't you use all your other tricks at once?"

"I've never seen anyone like you before. You've got a ton of underhanded tricks, but none of them work."

"If you're so capable, why don't you just fight me? If you lose, you'll be eliminated. Losing to a 3S-level commander isn't a loss for you!"

Lin Yiran: "It's not about whether it's a loss or not. I've come all this way to compete, I can't just go back like this, can I? That would be so embarrassing. Let's not even talk about winning an Outstanding Individual Award, an Outstanding Support Personnel Award would be fine too. It's only the third day of the competition, it would be so bad for me to leave now."

Xie Qian: "You're quite good at calculating, but unfortunately, your wish will have to wait until next year to come true. The championship will definitely be our second-place team!"

Lin Yiran shook her head, saying with a disdainful look, "Not necessarily."

She seemed quite confident. But Xie Qian smiled again, "Not necessarily?"

"You don't think your little tricks can stump me, do you?"

He then materialized his mental energy and blasted open the turf covering the trap in front of Lin Yiran, revealing the bamboo tips underneath.

How should I tell you this?

"These little tricks won't work on me."

Xie Qian arrogantly stepped forward, seemingly having completely seen through Lin Yiran's little tricks. Seeing Lin Yiran looking at him nervously, he laughed again. He realized that he really loved to laugh, especially during this competition, his mouth hadn't closed for a moment.

Lin Yiran was indeed very nervous.

Xie Qian continued, "Or do you think these mutated vines can do nothing to me? Let me tell you, these things are fatal to people with low mental strength levels."

"But for someone like me at level 3S, as long as I break free from the mutated plants' entanglement as soon as possible, I'll only lose a little mental energy at most, it's nothing serious!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Yiran saw Xie Qian gracefully step forward, disdainfully ignoring the mutated black vines that were rushing towards him, and even grabbing the thorny mutated vines with lightning speed.

Lin Yiran was stunned for a moment, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Xie Qian looked at Lin Yiran's expression with great satisfaction: "See that?"

"It's just a little bit of spiritual energy being absorbed, it's no big deal!"

He then swiftly severed the mutated vine beside him, ignoring the wound on his hand. He pulled a potion from his spatial storage, poured it into his mouth, and said smugly, "This is what we just got from the supply pack you wanted—a hidden item."

"Mental energy restoration potions! Thirty vials!"

"Need I say more? We've got this match in the bag!"

He acted like a child, acting like a teenager.

Lin Yiran finally understood why villains die from talking too much. He was indeed quite talkative, no wonder Sen Qi'an was so annoyed by him. Anyone would be angry at his chuunibyou and smug personality.

However, that's not the focus right now.

Xie Qian frowned as he watched Lin Yiran suddenly laugh, a laugh that seemed completely inexplicable. "What are you laughing at?" he asked.

However, he will soon find out why Lin Yiran was smiling.

He realized the problem when he felt his tongue was numb and his lips were not clear enough to speak.

As he was anesthetized, the mental barrier that had trapped Lin Yiran gradually began to falter. Taking advantage of the damaged barrier, she drew her sword and shattered it.

Look closely, and you'll see the person opposite has already fallen down uncontrollably.

As for his teammates, they had already headed towards Sen Qi'an as he had instructed. Before leaving, Xie Qian said, "You guys go ahead and set up an ambush. I'll deal with this girl and then we'll meet up."

So at this moment, there are no soldiers who can save him. Even if he tries to contact them with his mental power, it will be too late. It can be said that his life is already in Lin Yiran's hands.

Lin Yiran had a deep understanding of how villains die from talking too much, so she immediately stepped forward without hesitation, took a knife, and stabbed Xie Qian in the chest.

Xie Qian stared at Lin Yiran with resentment and anger until the knife pierced the outer layer of his protective suit, at which point he realized it was truly the end.

Finished

Everything is over.

To think that his lifelong reputation had been ruined by a girl, no! This is impossible!! He gritted his teeth, but unfortunately the anesthesia hadn't worn off yet, and he was now completely powerless, unable to even speak.

Well, he had no choice but to give up.

Then a voice suddenly rang out: "Commander Xie Qian of the Second Military Academy is out of the game. I repeat, Commander Xie Qian of the Second Military Academy is out of the game!"

As the words were repeated in the air, many people stopped to listen, seemingly in disbelief. They all thought they had misheard, but after listening several times, the same thing happened, and they could only reluctantly accept the news!

Then they whispered among themselves to the people around them.

Commander Xie is out? That's really a strange thing! I wonder who's so powerful that they could eliminate Commander Xie?

Sen Qi'an? It can only be him.

I didn't expect the two commanders to clash halfway through the competition. This competition is really intense!

At this moment, everyone's reaction to Sen Qi'an is: ? ? ?

He frowned deeply, even doubting whether he had misheard, but when he saw the message on his wristwatch, he finally accepted the fact calmly and naturally.

The screen above shows: Commander Xie is out of the game. Their team's score has increased by 5,000 points, which is equivalent to defeating ten mid-level mutated beasts. This is the score added after killing the commander-in-chief.

He was practically ecstatic, his mouth agape. Who could have gotten Xie Qian out of the game? After much thought, Lin Yiran seemed to be the most likely candidate.

She really gave him a wonderful surprise!

This time, their First Military Academy is bound to win!

The people in the live stream went crazy!

"Aaaaaaah!!!!! Groundhog scream!!!!"

"My Xie Qian!! My idol!!!! He's out just like that!!! No, this isn't fair, there must be a bug here, there must be a bug, the tournament judge, come out here, we demand fairness, we demand justice!!"

"How could our Commander Xie just lie obediently in the ditch and let that girl break the signal light? She must have used some kind of abnormal means! Yes, that must be it!"

"We demand a thorough investigation of that logistics soldier! See if she brought any prohibited items into the stadium!"

"Yes, make that girl cooperate with the investigation. If anything is found, her competition points will be invalidated! She will be permanently banned from the competition!"
