The first battle was between Lin Yan and Fu You.
The moment the two stepped onto the ring, a deafening roar of cheers erupted from the crowd.
Amidst the cheers, there was also some discussion.
"Will today's battle determine who is the fifth member of the Spark Squad?"
"Pretty much. Su Yu is in a league of his own, and Song Qinghuan and Qiao Qiao seem to be half a tier above them as well. Lin Yan and Fu You are basically vying for fourth and fifth place."
"Anyway, based on past records, Lin Yan should be fifth, and Fu You should be fourth."
"Although Goddess Qiao Qiao was once the fifth in the Mo Ran group, things change, and she has now clearly distanced herself from them."
"Of course, most importantly, even if Little Sword Immortal is the fifth one, Su Yu and Song Qinghuan will not abandon her."
......
On the stage, Lin Yan and Fu You's lips twitched.
What does that mean? Are we going to be abandoned?
How did a perfectly good freshman orientation turn into a battle for the fourth and fifth spot on a team?!
The two were unconvinced, exchanged glances, and decided to give these unsuspecting viewers a little shock.
"The match has officially begun!" the referee announced.
The two rushed out at the same time.
Straight punch, hook punch, knee strike, groin strike...
The two engaged in close-quarters combat right from the start.
Speed, power, and timing of the strike.
A dazzling battle instantly ignited the atmosphere.
"Who said Fu You is not good at close combat?"
"Yeah! He was supposed to be a superpower user, how come his fighting skills are so proficient and fierce!"
"Don't you guys think Lin Yan is even more formidable? I feel like he's almost teaching Fu You how to fight."
"Tsk, that familiar feeling is overwhelming. I don't need to say who his idol is, do I?"
"No, I don't feel like their fighting style is like that of a third-grade martial artist at all."
"Yes, yes, yes! That's exactly how I feel. I don't think the previous freshman orientation meetings were like this."
"No joke, this is more like the round of 16 in the Wuhan University martial arts competition."
"The era of prodigies! You think this is a joke? Don't you realize that the strongest of this era are already bullying their senior brothers and sisters?"
Everyone nodded with a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of deep emotion or reflection).
The battle in the arena was extremely intense.
Everyone involuntarily stood up to watch.
Every punch they threw and every block they raised their arms to defend.
All of this made the audience clench their fists, filled with excitement and tension.
These kinds of hard-hitting, visceral ring matches are the most likely to get people's blood pumping.
Below the arena, the other contestants were also observing intently.
Regardless of who is eliminated, they will be opponents that no one wants to face in the revival round.
Gao Xi crossed her arms and deliberately came to Hao Zhiming's side: "It's been a few days, and Fu You's close combat skills have improved again."
"You're in for some trouble now that you've run into him."
"Tch." Hao Zhiming remained calm and unperturbed.
"You'll have a hard time dealing with that kid Lin Yan too."
"If he really wins, I feel like you'll be laughed at for a whole year."
Gao Xi said seriously, "I would never lose to this guy, no matter who I lose to."
Hao Zhiming nodded silently.
Someone's protagonist script, and they're determined to destroy it!
On the arena, Fu You was the first to use his special ability.
The sudden mental shock left Lin Yan momentarily dazed.
Without hesitation, Fu You threw two punches directly at his face.
The two powerful blows seemed designed to blast him apart.
Lin Yan widened her eyes and dodged the two punches at an extremely strange angle.
"Damn it! Old Fu, you really did use dirty tricks!"
He exuded a violent aura, and his blood and qi erupted instantly.
"boom--"
The two clashed again, and Fu You was sent flying by the force of the attack.
Lin Yan leaned in and pressed forward.
Fu You, however, used this opportunity to further widen the distance between them.
Dude, you're playing ranged, are you really going to keep fighting melee with me?
His eyes flashed, and six throwing knives suddenly flew out from his waist.
The flying knife pierced the air with terrifying speed, cutting through the airwaves!
"Holy crap!"
"Hiss! Danger!"
"Isn't Fu You an archer?"
"These geniuses have changed so much in just a few days!"
The audience erupted in a clamor.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
The speed at which the throwing knives were launched caused some girls to instinctively cover their eyes.
call out!
"clang--"
On the big screen, the video was played back in slow motion, like a movie.
The moment Fu You threw his flying dagger, Lin Yan drew his twin swords.
The throwing knife closed in an instant.
He has a reaction speed that is completely impossible for ordinary people.
He slashed down four flying knives with his twin swords, while simultaneously dodging two others by turning to the side.
The entire movement was incredibly smooth and startling.
At first glance, it looks more like a set of moves performed by the two of them.
A series of gasps rang out from the audience.
The battle between the two on the ring was not yet over.
The thrown knife, which had been knocked down, floated back into the air.
Not only that, Fu You took out six throwing knives again.
There were twelve weapons in total, constantly launching attacks around Lin Yan.
"My god! If you replace the throwing knife with a flying sword, isn't that just sword control?"
"Damn, I underestimated Fu You before. He's definitely a modern-day sword immortal!"
"Suddenly I felt that this wooden-faced guy had become handsome."
"Holy crap, what do you mean by 'wooden face'? This is clearly a cold-faced sword immortal!"
"I hereby unilaterally declare that Lin Yan is the fifth member of the Spark Squad!"
