Wang Zheng looked at the people around him, seemingly lost in thought. After a moment's thought, he finally spoke.
"Although I don't know what your plans are for the future, if you just want to live a peaceful life in the rear, that's fine. But if you want to go to the battlefield, make contributions, and fight the enemy, then these two students are your best role models."
"The Awakened Ones' participation in the competition is not a performance. Without a genuine desire to win, no matter how strong one is, it is just a mirage and a reflection in the water, and it is of no use."
Although Wang Zheng's words were not loud, they seemed to carry a unique composure, attracting the attention of the surrounding students.
Wu Huan and Mei Yiqi nodded to each other after hearing this.
After Wang Zheng finished speaking, he ignored the students' gazes and quietly pondered the teaching methods at Moda University.
Are these the two prestigious universities?
Putting aside their actual abilities, it's astonishing that they've developed such a mindset after only a month of enrollment!
This gives us a glimpse of the situation!
That's really terrifying. I wonder how they train.
"Wu Huan, Shang Houming."
Upon hearing the referee's call, the first naturally awakened contestant from Jingnan University was finally about to take the stage.
Before going up, Wang Zheng was still a little worried and said, "Go all out and don't underestimate your opponent. Even if you want to hold back, they may not."
Looking at Wang Zheng's serious expression, Wu Huan nodded earnestly and then strode towards the center of the field.
Once the two were in position, the referee gave the order, and Wu Huan immediately burst into full power, charging towards his opponent. In contrast, Shang Houming remained calm and composed, pulling back while simultaneously raising a low earthen wall from the ground to slow Wu Huan down.
He then gathered countless pebbles around himself, gathering his strength but not unleashing it.
They only shot at Wu Huan in twos and threes, affecting her speed.
Looking at Wu Huan now, his whole body was flushed, and white steam was rising from his body, indicating that he had already unleashed his full power.
He darted and weaved among the low walls and rubble, his body moving like a dragon in flight.
Sometimes it sprints at breakneck speed, sometimes it strolls leisurely; the ever-changing pace seems to have completely outmaneuvered its opponent.
Then, the distance between the two began to slowly close.
After numerous unsuccessful attacks, Shang Houming seemed to be getting anxious, and his breathing became somewhat disordered, possibly due to insufficient spiritual energy. After all, casting spells over a wide area consumes a great deal of spiritual energy.
Seeing this opportunity, Wu Huan suddenly turned back, then ducked down and passed between two pebbles. The sharp stones grazed her face, leaving a bloody mark.
However, she ignored this and moved with lightning speed, appearing in front of Shang Houming in an instant, her long sword slashing straight down at his face.
The wielding longsword produced a hissing sound as it cut through the air, like a white ribbon that sent chills down one's spine.
But at that moment, Shang Houming from the Magic University suddenly changed his previous panic, shouted loudly, and then raised one hand in a sudden, clenched motion.
The hard ground seemed to soften and began to undulate, but this time it wasn't the low earthen wall that had blocked the way that rose up.
Instead, a sharp spike suddenly pierced out from the ground.
This move was fierce, ruthless, and extremely well-hidden. Even the shaping of the earth spikes was completed entirely underground, just waiting for Wu Huan to get close and inflict a severe blow on her.
It turns out that all the previous flaws were just a trap set by Shang Houming to lure Wu Huan into a trap.
A legal awakener dares to use himself as bait, deliberately luring an agile awakener close.
One has to admire their skill and daring.
Wu Huan, who was in mid-air, had no way to avoid the blow and was stabbed in the abdomen, leaving a fist-sized hole.
She knew in her heart that she was simply too inexperienced and had fallen into the other party's trap.
She could feel intense pain in her lower abdomen, and a large amount of blood was gushing out from the wound. She probably would be judged to have lost in a few seconds.
But is this the result I wanted?
Although my opponent was definitely not weak even among the other 90+ people, is that the reason I was eliminated in the first round?
"No----"
Wu Huan shouted, her long hair flowing freely and moving without wind. Countless white wisps of energy emanated from her body, faintly coalescing into a human shape.
She gritted her teeth and endured the excruciating pain, then took another step forward, pushing against the spikes.
The sharp spikes churned inside his abdomen, but he did not hesitate for a moment as he brandished the long sword in his hand.
The silver-white longsword suddenly revealed a dazzling crimson hue as it slashed towards Shang Houming's neck.
Alarm bells rang loudly in Shang Houming's mind.
Danger! Very dangerous! Deadly danger!
You'll die!
At this moment, Shang Houming was truly flustered, and his previous smile froze on his face.
He raised his hand, wanting to put a layer of earth armor on himself, but it was too late.
The sharp blade light arrived suddenly like a streak of blood, and he seemed to be frozen in place, his limbs weak and unable to move at all.
"Clang!"
A deafening clang of metal clashing rang in Shang Houming's ears. Still reeling from the shock, he opened his eyes and realized that the referee had intervened and blocked the fatal blow for him.
Then I realized that my chest was warm, and when I looked down, apart from the stinging pain in my neck, all I could see was blood red.
Even after the referee blocked the sharp blade, it still managed to leave a deep, bloody gash on his neck.
"Ho-ho-ho!"
He blankly touched the blood on his chest, as if he understood something. He covered his neck with both hands, his eyes wide, as if he couldn't believe that he had been defeated like this, or as if he wanted to say something more. Then his legs went weak and he knelt on the ground.
The referee announced loudly:
"Wu Huan from Jingnan wins!"
