"In the semifinals of the lower bracket, Hao Zhiming, the top pick from the South Theater, will face off against Song Qinghuan, the runner-up from the Northwest Theater."
"Let's begin!"
Wei Yikun finished speaking.
The audience was immediately blinded by the light reflected from the ice crystals.
Everyone instinctively closed their eyes.
On the arena, Song Qinghuan froze the entire arena.
He sprang forward instantly, holding a silver spear with the tip pointing directly at Hao Zhiming's left chest.
Hao Zhiming seemed a little taken aback.
Subconsciously, I wanted to teleport, but my body shape didn't change.
At this moment, he could only hastily draw his sword to block.
Song Qinghuan's spear struck the sword, and an icy light instantly covered it.
Hao Zhiming, who was considered almost unbeatable in the arena due to his ability to travel through space, found himself at a disadvantage from the very beginning.
In the audience, everyone's jaws nearly dropped to the floor.
"Holy crap, could Song Qinghuan's superpower be the legendary ability to seal space?"
"Damn it, you're telling me this kind of superpower is A-level?!"
"Damn it... Hao Zhiming is in danger!"
"No wonder he didn't use spatial teleportation to dodge!"
"So... the Northwest Theater Command actually has a damn chance to win the civil war and snatch the top spot ahead of time?!"
Has there ever been a record like this before?
"It should be, perhaps, it seems not."
The crowd was buzzing with discussion.
The teacher leading the team from the Southern Theater Command stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief.
Hao Zhiming, who possesses the ability to travel through space, has run into a wall with Song Qinghuan?!
Is the world playing a joke on me?!
Hearing the cheers of several war zones for Song Qinghuan over the past week, he could no longer remain calm.
His eyes were fixed on the two men on the stage, his fists clenched, hoping to see Hao Zhiming break the deadlock.
At the same time, the group of geniuses were also shocked.
How long has it been?
Song Qinghuan has actually made such progress.
In the Northwest Theater Command, Su Yu looked at Qiao Qiao: "Qiao Qiao, do you know how much your sister Qinghuan improved after eating the Awakening Fruit?"
Qiao Qiao shook her head: "I'm not sure, but it should be over two hundred."
Su Yu remained silent.
Sure enough, Song Qinghuan was the kind of genius who could rise to great heights with just a little bit of resources.
The person favored by the Northwest Theater Command is very likely this girl.
Looking at Hao Zhiming, who seemed quite disheveled on the stage, Su Yu's gaze was deep and unsettling.
His battle with Gao Xi made him realize even more that these prodigies from powerful families could not possibly be so simple.
Last time, Hao Zhiming was defeated by his supernatural ability.
He didn't believe that the other party wouldn't try to solve the problem after returning home.
Su Yu narrowed his eyes, hoping that Song Qinghuan would not be blinded by her current advantage.
Hao Zhiming must be waiting for an opportunity.
On the arena.
Hao Zhiming's longsword was mostly frozen solid.
He also suffered multiple stab wounds from Song Qinghuan.
During his last battle with Su Yu, he realized the weakness in his mental strength.
Today's battle with Song Qinghuan made him realize that he had relied too much on his superpowers.
Once the exception is no longer available, or it may not be used at all.
He is no match for Song Qinghuan, much less for Su Yu and Gao Xi.
He was pondering this in his heart.
It was as if a string in Hao Zhiming's mind suddenly tightened.
On the other hand, Song Qinghuan, who wanted to seize the opportunity to win quickly, became increasingly unrestrained in her use of Qi and blood.
The Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Spear fired one shot after another, each aiming to seize the opportunity for a decisive victory.
Hao Zhiming seemed to freeze in place.
In that instant, her gaze sharpened.
The phoenix nodded three times, carrying a violent surge of energy, striking directly at vital points.
A clash of masters, a momentary lapse in concentration.
That's the moment that decides the outcome.
The spear had already pierced Hao Zhiming's chest.
When the eyes of the teacher leading the team from the Southern Theater Command were already bloodshot.
Space travel!
Hao Zhiming suddenly used his supernatural ability and instantly appeared behind Song Qinghuan.
He also unleashed his full power without reservation, unleashing the Seven Swords Rain.
He had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time!
Sword flashes like rain!
"Song Qinghuan is going to lose?!"
"We've been tricked..."
When this thought crossed everyone's minds.
On the stage, Song Qinghuan was still in a gun-wielding stance.
His body was instantly covered in ice crystal armor.
At the same time, a huge ice shield blocked her from behind.
Hao Zhiming's attack, Song Qinghuan's resistance.
The entire process took less than 0.1 seconds.
Everything seemed to happen at the same moment.
The rain of swords shattered the ice shield instantly and destroyed Song Qinghuan's ice crystal armor.
Song Qinghuan was blasted several meters away by the aftershock.
A few drops of blood appeared at the corner of his mouth, but his eyes remained sharp.
"You can break through my blockade, but you are still within my territory."
She wiped her mouth and picked up the spear again.
Hao Zhiming was slightly taken aback.
Without saying much, he once again used spatial teleportation to create a considerable distance between himself and Song Qinghuan.
At this moment, the group of geniuses suddenly had a familiar feeling.
He used the same method to drag things out and win against Gao Xi and Fu You not long ago.
"So Hao Zhiming deliberately exposed a weakness, hoping to find an opportunity to win in one move?"
"I don't think so. You can see that when he travels through space, there are still moments of pause."
"This means that he has only just gotten used to this space, and he will have to pay a considerable price to break through Song Qinghuan's frozen space."
"This must be very taxing on mental energy," explained one of the people in the audience who had figured it out.
"However, since she can travel through time, it will be very difficult for Song Qinghuan to win."
"Hao Zhiming just needs to stall until Song Qinghuan's mental energy is exhausted."
"Damn, that's so unfair!"
"There's nothing we can do, that's just their strength."
The team leader from the Southern Theater Command also breathed a sigh of relief.
On the Northwest Theater, Li Cheng'an sighed softly, "Song Qinghuan has done her best."
"If it were a different world, she would undoubtedly be the top scholar."
As he spoke, he looked at Su Yu with some concern: "Su Yu, are you confident in facing Hao Zhiming?"
Su Yu smiled and looked at Song Qinghuan, whose eyes remained firm on the stage.
"Governor, don't worry, Song Qinghuan hasn't given up yet."
"Haha, you're giving me a lesson, kid! I was definitely nervous!"
"Song Qinghuan hasn't given up, and we can't give up either!"
As he spoke, Li Cheng'an raised his right hand.
"Song Qinghuan!"
"come on!!"
"Song Qinghuan!"
"come on!!!"
Inside the Battle Hall, it was clear that most of the war zones had been eliminated by the Northwest War Zone.
But at this moment, they were the ones cheering the loudest in the entire stadium.
On the arena.
Having wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, Song Qinghuan moved with lightning speed, closing in instantly.
Hao Zhiming wanted to use spatial teleportation to create distance.
A momentary pause.
Song Qinghuan closed in to within a few meters and said coldly, "Stay here!"
