71 Top Eight Confirmed
◎The dark crescent moon sets, but the snow-white sword light disappears◎
After Yu Li finished feeding the fish, the second round of the competition officially began!
Anthony stood in the arena, curled his lips in disdain, and muttered:
"I really don't know why Lucas wants me to be so careful. I'm an S-rank after all. Why should I be so careful against an A-rank? You really underestimate me!"
He raised his hand and waved it casually. Thousands of sharp golden lights flashed from the void and rushed towards Samuel! The wind ruffled his golden curls.
“Swish! Swish! Swish!”
Samuel raised his brows as he looked at the careless attack, chuckled, narrowed his emerald pupils, and swayed his black knife earrings. He bent down his waist, dodging as nimbly as a cheetah, and at the same time quickly approached where Anthony was!
Off the court, Lucas watched this scene and raised his hand to his forehead, saying, "Anthony is really something. As soon as he breaks through, the bad habits of the people he used to look down on come back."
"This is going to be a big loss!" Christopher also sighed.
Lucas sighed silently and said, "I hope the victory or defeat of this match won't affect the team competition later."
At Gran University, Donores remained motionless in his rocking chair, still like a mummy, watching the action on the field, and said with disdain:
"There's a guy who looks down on Samuel."
"This is very common, Chief. After all, most people's attention is on you." Joseph stated this fact while treating him.
"So those who underestimate you will pay the price on the field. Lucas actually teamed up with such a person." Donores said with a smile, as if he was laughing at something.
In the arena, Anthony frowned as he watched Samuel approach and dodge his attacks. He increased his supernatural power output, and the overwhelming sharp metal condensed into sword tips imbued with the power of rules, attacking the black-haired man, whispering:
"See where you can hide!!"
Swords of various types flashed with golden light, forming a dazzling scene like a light belt in the air.
When Samuel was close enough, he gripped the large black sword in his large, black leather-gloved hand. He raised his strong, powerful arm, and the blade traced a semicircle in the air. The pitch-black blade slashed directly at Anthony!
“Boom——!” A strong wind suddenly blew up!
A huge black crescent appeared out of nowhere! Unstoppable!
“Crack! Crack! Crack!!!”
The attack that was like a golden light band was violently broken by the black blade!
The golden ribbon shattered, but the black crescent moon continued to charge towards Anthony, whose pupils were dilated and his face was filled with shock.
"You're so good at breaking through!??"
He simply raised his hand and several golden shields appeared in front of him in an attempt to block the terrifying sword light, but it was obvious that these temporary measures were of no use at all.
In the end, Anthony was forced to open his domain directly, and the golden light rose up to barely block the attack!
“Bang! Bang! Bang!!”
A crack more than ten meters deep appeared in the arena. The two men stood at the two ends of the crack. The broken swords that were chopped off by Samuel fell to the ground one after another. Affected by the energy storm caused by the fierce collision between the two men, strong winds blew and dust flew everywhere. The scene looked extremely shocking.
"With so many S-level superpowers this year, I think adding one more like me wouldn't be a big deal. Why are you so surprised?"
As Samuel spoke, his double emerald pupils curved and his black hair was tied up and fluttered in the wind.
"But! You didn't make any breakthroughs at all in the preliminary round!"
Anthony thought about being forced by Lucas to watch the various performances of Gran University in the preliminary round. He only remembered that Donores was very strong and played almost from the beginning to the end. The others were basically just supporting players and did not have any outstanding performances.
"Naive child, maybe you should go back and ask your chief." Samuel laughed softly, swung the black sword in the air, and attacked Anthony again!
Black blade lights pressed directly towards Anthony's golden fortress-like territory.
High in the sky, the dark sword light kept flickering, gathering into a huge sword shadow that flashed across the sky!
“Crack! Crack! Crack!!”
Under the black blade, no matter whether it was the clouds in the sky, the castle-like solid area in the field, or the soil and gravel under the ground, they were all ruthlessly cut apart by this sharp blow, leaving nothing behind.
Anthony finally looked at the large black sword in front of him, opened his mouth, and could not say a word.
Samuel won this game!
Lucas looked at Anthony, who was obviously distracted after the game, and sighed helplessly again, comforting him: "The team battle later is the most important thing now, Anthony, don't think too much."
Anthony subconsciously wanted to talk back to Lucas, but he didn't know what to say. He could only suppress his emotions and nodded.
Yu Li didn't react after watching the game that ended in less than ten minutes. She looked at Gu Hezhi and asked:
"Is Anthony really S-rank?" Why does he feel so weak?
Gu Hezhi nodded: "Yes, but he can only be considered a beginner. He underestimated his opponent from the beginning of this match. In addition, Samuel's understanding of the rules should be comparable to Donores, so it is normal for him to lose the match so quickly."
"Who knows, this will have a huge impact on the subsequent team battles. Tsk tsk, it must have been planned from the beginning. Anthony's mentality will definitely be affected. Samuel's heart is really like his sword." Huangfu Wen sighed and reminded Yu Li:
"So Yuli, if you meet someone like this, stay away from them immediately."
"I understand, but I feel that all of you commanders are quite cruel." Yu Li blinked.
"This is called tactics! Planning!" Huangfu Wen emphasized.
"Are you talking about a plan to cheat people and have them help you calculate the money?" Gu Hezhi directly exposed the plan.
"Pfft! That's right." Yu Li laughed when she heard this.
"Hey, hey, hey, isn't that a bit too much?" Huangfu Wen looked at Gu Hezhi and said, "When it comes to command, Hezhi, you are also a part-timer! If I have a bad heart, then you are the same."
......
An hour later, after the staff had repaired the gullies in the arena, host Duan Jieshu returned to the commentary desk and enthusiastically said:
"Everyone, welcome back!! Now we're in the final match of the league's quarterfinals: Gran University vs. Third Military Academy. The score is 1-1. This final teamfight is crucial; it will determine who will advance to the top eight!"
"In this 5v5 team battle, the players from Gran University are..."
Donores, who has fully recovered after two hours of treatment, stood on the stage listening to the host's introduction and looking at the virtual countdown in the air.
Samuel walked up to him and said, "Chief, Lucas will be in your hands later."
"Of course, I won't be fooled this time!" Donores responded, a few strands of dyed red hair scattered in front of his forehead, and he looked fiercely at Lucas opposite him.
Lucas noticed his beast-like gaze and smiled indifferently. Noticing that Anthony on the side was obviously still not adjusted, he could only signal Christopher beside him with his eyes to keep a closer eye on him. Christopher responded with a gesture.
As Lucas watched the countdown approaching zero, he placed his hand on his shoulder and said:
"Anthony! You have to cheer up now. This game is crucial. Don't be affected by useless emotions!"
"Yes!!" Anthony took a deep breath and shouted.
Lucas looked at him and smiled, encouraging him, "Haven't you always wanted to be the leader? If you win this game, it's not impossible."
When Anthony heard him say that, his eyes lit up and he said, "Okay, it's settled!"
After Duan Jieshu introduced the players from each team, time came to the last few seconds.
“3!”
“2!”
“1!”
“Lucas—!!!”
The next moment after the countdown ended, Donores rushed towards Lucas like an arrow shot from a bow, with black flames burning like a roaring lion!
Lucas, unwilling to be outdone, drew his rapier, and a terrifying sword energy shot up into the sky, directly colliding with the exploding black flames!
"boom--!!"
The earth rumbled! Invisible shock waves, like monstrous waves, stirred up countless dust and wind waves and slammed directly and brutally into the protective shield.
Christopher looked at the Chief who had been entangled and said directly to Anthony, "Anthony, open the field. We have to hold on. We can't let them fight one on one!"
But before he could finish his words, a pitch-black crescent moon appeared in an instant, followed by a hail of golden-red arrows.
Samuel raised the pitch-black sword, and a black light burst out, directly enveloping Anthony, Christopher and the other three. He whispered:
"Field·Silent Night!"
Yan Qianxing and the other two were left behind to start sniping at the healing system of the Third Military Academy. Even though Anthony also opened his domain to fight against it a few seconds later, his understanding of the laws was obviously not as good as Samuel's, and he was firmly suppressed by him. He could only watch his own healing system being eliminated.
The battle situation was just as Coach Guan had said, the team battle eventually turned into a single confrontation between S-level psychics.
Obviously, being defeated by Samuel in a very short time in the last round left a huge psychological shadow in Anthony's heart. Even if he forced himself to cheer up now, it would only prolong the time.
Of course, what Lucas wanted was to delay time until he arrived, but unfortunately, this plan was interrupted by Samuel at the very beginning. He separated the other teammates one by one and defeated and eliminated them. In the end, Anthony tried his best but could only take away the other two people from Gran University.
As a wet nurse, Joseph retreated to the edge of the arena from the beginning. After Samuel eliminated the others, he came to him and treated his wounds.
"Aren't you going?" Joseph said to Samuel, who had not moved after the fight.
"Wait a little longer, our chief is in high spirits!" He said, touching his neck which had been healed and had no scars left.
Lucas was always entangled by Donores and couldn't get away. He could only watch his teammates being eliminated one by one.
He sighed softly, and the sword energy surrounding the rapier exploded, the sword energy was like a pillar, rushing into the sky!
Boom——!!
The accompanying violent gale caused the entire magnificent arena to begin to shake. The invisible pressure was as powerful as the power of heaven. Under the azure sky, the snow-white sword energy was extremely spectacular.
Lucas raised his hand and countless lines of rules fell from the void, converging on the tip of the rapier, and then swung it out! !
"brush--!"
That incomparable, indescribably sharp sword light directly collided with the pitch-black flames, creating a huge gust of air! !
The arena was directly divided into two halves, one half was dazzling white, the other half was scorching black, and nothing else existed!
This scene seemed to deeply shock the audience. Everyone held their breath and continued to watch intently, not caring about the tears shed by the dazzling light.
When the dazzling light and dust dissipated, both Donores and Lucas were injured, and blood spilled on the ground like a waterfall.
Samuel sighed, "It's really amazing, what a shame."
He took a few steps forward, and with his powerful hands in black leather gloves, he gently swung the large sword towards Lucas.
The dark crescent moon fell, but the snow-white sword energy did not appear again.
This round, Glen University wins!!
Duan Jieshu at the commentary desk was stunned for a moment. When he heard the mechanical announcement, he came to his senses and quickly said:
"The score is now 2:1. Grand University won this match!! Let's congratulate them for reaching the top eight!"
