"I...I lost?!"
"I lost to a mage in melee combat? How is this possible?! What happened?!"
Everything happened too fast.
Ye Bai sprinted, struck, threw an over-the-shoulder throw, and finished off the opponent's protective gear... This series of actions was fluid and seamless, taking less than 5 seconds in total!
They didn't give the other party any time to react at all!
A burst of fire descended from the sky, healing the boy with naturally curly hair's injuries.
He regained his senses, but his face was still pale and he could not accept his defeat.
With such a huge advantage... why did you end up losing?
The aged voice rang out once more.
"Ye Bai wins!"
A door opened, and the boy with naturally curly hair walked out dejectedly, while Ye Bai waited for his next opponent.
While waiting, Ye Bai looked up and glanced at the loudspeaker.
"Liu Qingyan? What's he doing here?"
"Old man, do you think I can't understand you just because you're pretending to be speaking through a sneer?"
After a moment's thought, Ye Bai decided that with Liu Qingyan present, he would primarily use wind-based spells in his attacks.
"I need to carefully cultivate my persona as a wind mage!"
Ye Bai warned himself that in the next fight, he should not engage in close combat immediately.
His base stats are too high; he can shatter protective gear with a single punch. These classmates who haven't even reached level 10 are no match for Ye Bai.
...
Ye Bai quickly resolved the battle.
Meanwhile, in other fighting rooms, intense battles were taking place.
...
The fighting room next to Ye Bai's.
"Wind Slash!"
Zhao Lin appeared swiftly behind the enemy, slashing out with his long sword and catching them off guard!
Taking advantage of the initiative from the Wind-Stepping Slash, Zhao Lin launched a series of attacks and quickly gained the upper hand!
In the end, he used a Wind Slash followed by a Heavy Slash to successfully break through his opponent's protective gear and achieve final victory.
"Zhao Lin wins!"
"Yay!"
Zhao Lin's joyful cheers rang out in the fighting room.
...
Another fighting room.
A girl looked worried and kept muttering to herself.
"It's all over, it's all over!"
"How could my luck be so bad? I was matched with Jiang Yun. I'm doomed to lose this match!"
Opposite her was Jiang Yun from Class 2 of Senior Three, an A-level talent, the legendary strongest in this year's class, with a chance to become the top scorer in Nanjiang City!
There is no chance of winning against Jiang Yun!
She was so flustered that she didn't even hear the referee announce 'The fight begins'.
I surrender!
"ah?"
She never expected that Jiang Yun would admit defeat!
The referee looked at Jiang Yun with a serious expression and reminded him,
"Jiang Yun, you've already admitted defeat once. If you admit defeat again, you'll only have one more chance!"
"I know."
Jiang Yun insisted, "I concede."
The principal and the others watching from behind the glass window were full of doubt. "What on earth is Jiang Yun thinking!"
"With his strength, there's no need for him to admit defeat!"
Just when everyone was extremely confused,
Jiang Yun spoke again, "According to the rules, after losing two matches, I have the right to choose my next opponent."
The referee nodded. "That's true."
Upon hearing his words, many teachers' expressions changed, and they guessed what Jiang Yun was planning to do!
A commotion broke out in the crowd, and someone whispered,
"What an arrogant kid! Too cocky!"
"Arrogant? He has the right to be arrogant. What kind of young person isn't arrogant?"
"Indeed, looking at this graduating class of Nanjiang No. 3 Middle School, it's hard to find anyone who can threaten Jiang Yun!"
"......"
Inside the fighting room, Jiang Yun, having conceded defeat, seemed more like a victor, tilting his head slightly.
"I don't need three chances to fail; one is enough for me."
"From now on, I will not lose a single game, until I win them all!"
Even though the referee had seen many geniuses, someone as proud and arrogant as Jiang Yun was extremely rare!
"Choose your next opponent."
Jiang Yun gave the name she had prepared beforehand:
"Ye Bai!"
Starting with Ye Bai, Jiang Yun wants to show Nanjiang No. 3 Middle School what a true genius is!
