He Xingjue rolled on the spot. At this moment, fighting was no longer the priority. What he should do was find a place to quietly prepare for his advancement.
He Xingjue was about to retrieve a weapon from his spatial storage when Zhao Xi saw through his intentions, grabbed his hand, and crushed it forcefully—
pain!
He Xingjue broke out in a cold sweat; his hand had been broken!
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Xi slammed his knee into He Xingjue's jaw.
With another crack, He Xingjue's jawbone broke, and he was unable to speak.
Zhao Xi wouldn't let him speak or take out his weapon; his purpose was crystal clear: he wanted to sabotage his advancement.
He Xingjue saw through Zhao Xi's intentions.
But he was powerless to do anything!
He Xingjue was like a puddle of mud, unable to even move a finger.
Zhao Xi laughed, leaned close to He Xingjue's ear, and whispered, "You're destined never to become a 3S-level. Give up."
What did Zhao Xi and Commander He say?
"His voice was too soft to be detected. Besides, he spoke into Commander He's ear, so we couldn't see his lips and couldn't decipher it."
"Commander He is already injured like this, shouldn't this fight end here?"
"Waaaaah, I feel so sorry for Commander He, I can't help but want to cry."
...
Netizens felt that Zhao Xi should stop now, but Zhao Xi didn't. As long as He Xingjue's advancement didn't stop, he wouldn't stop.
"You're really tenacious, but it's time to stop." Zhao Xi grabbed He Xingjue's shoulder, his right fist gathering strength once more—
He Xingjue seemed to see a faint gold color on the opponent's fist, which was the energy of a 3S-level Sentinel.
He was supposed to be promoted to 3S level, but now, he's probably going to lose that opportunity completely.
And the person he wanted to protect—
At this moment, the first person He Xing thought of was Li Ze. His heart was filled with resentment and regret. He was afraid he couldn't protect him anymore!
"Go to hell!"
These three words were growled from Zhao Xi's abdomen, and only He Xingjue heard them.
He Xingjue looked at the other person and saw the unrestrained smile on their face.
At this moment, He Xingjue clearly realized that the other party had murderous intent towards him, and that the other party was not afraid to bear the consequences.
In other words, His Majesty will protect Zhao Xi.
Because he needs to advance?
In the blink of an eye, He Xingjue's thoughts had gone through a hundred twists and turns, but in the end, they all turned into a deep reluctance to part with Li Ze.
"Damn, that Zhao Xi is still going to fight!"
"Is this an attempt to kill someone? Why didn't the people at the scene stop it?"
"Everyone here is in cahoots; it's a joke to expect them to stop us."
...
The expected pain did not come. He Xingjue only felt a strong wind, and the large hand that was restraining him was released. Then there was a loud bang, and someone was thrown to the ground.
A familiar, cool voice rang out, "Zhao Xi?"
He Xingjue suddenly looked up and saw the boy in the sunlight. The boy had his back to him, and the setting sun cast a soft light on him.
Although the light was soft, it could not conceal the coldness and murderous intent emanating from the boy.
"Holy crap! Li Ze really came!"
"Li Ze's kick just now was so cool! Absolutely amazing!"
"This is going to be interesting."
I bet Li Ze will win!
"Li Ze must win!"
"Li Ze, for your husband's sake, beat that Zhao Xi to a pulp! Beat him until his own mother wouldn't recognize him!"
...
Netizens were extremely excited.
“Li Ze?” Zhao Xi asked.
Although the two had fought before, this was the first time they had introduced themselves.
"Last time, and today too, it's time to settle our scores." Li Ze glanced at He Xingjue, his expression complex, a hint of helplessness mixed with a warm feeling in his heart.
Knowing he was doomed, he still came to find Zhao Xi; this was nothing like a legion commander.
“That’s exactly what I meant,” Zhao Xi said.
"Let's sign a waiver of liability," Li Ze suggested. "Regardless of life or death, let's end this feud here."
Zhao Xi narrowed his eyes. Last time, the other party was clearly no match for him, so why did he dare to propose a life-or-death contract today?
Did the other team advance as well?
But even if he advances, so what? After advancing, he'll just be a guide, still no match for a sentinel.
"What, you don't dare?" Li Ze glanced at Zhao Xi, his expression seemingly indifferent, yet conveying utter contempt.
It was as if Zhao Xi was not worthy of causing him any emotional fluctuations.
"Sign it then, do you think I'm afraid of you?" Zhao Xi sneered, immediately drafted a life-or-death agreement on his personal terminal, signed his name first, and then sent it to Li Ze face to face. "In front of everyone here, as well as netizens across the entire StarNet, once you sign this life-or-death agreement, it really means you're not afraid of life or death. You'd better think it over, or you'll say I didn't give you a chance."
“You should keep those words to yourself,” Li Ze retorted.
Just as he was about to sign his name, He Xingjue, enduring immense pain, cried out, "No, don't sign—"
"Don't be afraid. I won't lose," Li Ze comforted him, and then said to Zhao Xi, "You don't mind waiting for me for two minutes, do you?"
Before Zhao Xi could speak, he said to He Xingjue, "Bear with it, I'll go get you the treatment pod."
But just then, Zhao Xi rushed up and shouted, "If you're going to fight, then fight! What are you dawdling for!"
Li Ze frowned. Why was Zhao Xi in such a hurry? Couldn't he even wait two minutes?
Before Li Ze could figure it out, Zhao Xi's palm strike had already arrived.
Li Ze shifted his body slightly, fearing that Zhao Xi might hurt He Xingjue, and then led Zhao Xi to the side.
In a short while, the two had exchanged no less than a hundred blows. The more they fought, the more alarmed Zhao Xi became. Not long ago, he could easily suppress his opponent, but now, only two or three months later, his opponent's strength had undergone a tremendous change!
What did he do during this time?
This is Li Ze, who was truly driven to the brink and had no choice but to jump into the sea of stars.
He Xingjue lay on the ground to the side, his eyes fixed on Li Ze. Seeing that Li Ze was gaining the upper hand, he finally felt relieved.
His advancement continued, the energy within his body surged, and the spiritual power in his mental sea was also churning wildly, as if about to stir up a colossal wave.
He glanced at the snow wolf, which was still being suppressed by the giant snake not far away, but did not recall it to his mental sea.
The snow wolf was able to barely restrain the giant snake, preventing it from joining the battle, which relieved some of the pressure on Li Ze.
However, he has never seen Li Ze's quantum beast in all this time. What is Li Ze's quantum beast?
Just as He Xingjue was watching the battle intently, several royal princes on the side exchanged glances, secretly took out silenced pistols, and secretly aimed them at He Xingjue.
The delicate bullets flew towards He Xingjue, three aimed at the space between his eyebrows and two at his chest.
No one saw this scene, including He Xingjue himself; everyone's attention was focused on the battle.
