"boom--"
With a loud bang, Wang Yuankai's sword energy storm swept out like a surging wave, colliding fiercely with Zhao Lin's mental attack.
In an instant, light shone everywhere, and sword energy and spiritual power intertwined to create a dazzling display of light and shadow.
Veins bulged on Wang Yuankai's forehead as he gripped the sword hilt tightly, his arm muscles taut, every ounce of strength squeezed out to its limit.
His eyes revealed determination and resolve, as if he were waging a life-or-death struggle against fate.
Zhao Lin's face was as pale as paper, his lips trembled slightly, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. His illusory form dissipated like smoke, revealing his true form.
He gritted his teeth, desperately resisting Wang Yuankai's attacks. The two bodies collided in mid-air, producing a dull thud.
Their strength clashed, and for a time it was difficult to determine a winner. However, the final result was that both were injured, and they were both sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the edge of the ring.
A trickle of blood escaped from the corner of Wang Yuankai's mouth. He struggled to sit up and wiped the blood away with his hand. His gaze remained resolute, as if telling everyone that he would not give up easily.
Zhao Lin's condition was also not optimistic; his face had become even paler, and his breathing had become rapid. His companions rushed onto the stage, helped him up, and inquired about his injuries with concern.
The referee, watching this scene, shook his head helplessly and announced, "This match is a draw."
The freshmen below the stage were in an uproar. They had thought that Zhao Lin, who was ranked fifth, would easily defeat Wang Yuankai, who was ranked ninth. They did not expect the result to be so unexpected.
This battle made them realize that in the Comprehensive Martial Arts University, every opponent is not to be underestimated, and they must put in more effort and sweat to win.
At that moment, Zhou Jianfeng stepped onto the ring with steady and powerful strides. He was agile, and his eyes revealed unparalleled confidence and determination.
He launched his attack swiftly, like a tiger descending a mountain, unleashing a series of dazzling and fierce moves.
Despite their best efforts, the three freshmen from the Comprehensive Martial Arts University were ultimately unable to withstand Zhou Jianfeng's powerful strength and were defeated one after another.
Surprisingly, Zhou Jianfeng did not seem to be using his full strength at this time, and was still in complete control.
Just when everyone thought he would stay in the ring to show his even greater strength, he suddenly noticed someone in the audience gesturing to him.
Zhou Jianfeng hesitated for a moment, then decisively chose to leave the ring.
Next, Wei Yuntian took the stage. He was equally skilled, swiftly defeating two freshmen from the Comprehensive Martial Arts University with overwhelming force.
At this point, only Bai Qingqing and He Xiangdong remained on the Comprehensive Martial Arts University's side, struggling to hold on, while the Wilderness Martial Arts University still had six members.
The atmosphere instantly became tense, with everyone holding their breath, anticipating the exciting duel to come.
"I'm almost done too. You can let He Xiangdong get his butt kicked. But Bai Qingqing is probably no match for the captain, so don't even think about it." Wei Yuntian then stepped off the stage.
He Fanghua was secretly delighted; she had long wanted to find an opportunity to challenge her cousin, He Xiangdong. She stood up, her eyes shining, her heart filled with anticipation and excitement.
She knew her cousin's strength, but she wasn't afraid; instead, a strong fighting spirit burned within her.
She darted onto the stage, her gaze fixed intently on He Xiangdong, thinking to herself, "Cousin, this time I'll show you what I'm capable of! I'll give it my all and prove myself to you!"
She clenched her fists tightly, as if cheering herself on. At that moment, He Fanghua's heart was filled with confidence and determination.
She believed that with her long hours of hard work and training, she would definitely achieve good results in this challenge. She took a deep breath, adjusted her mindset, and prepared for the battle ahead.
"Captain Bai, it seems the final battle will be up to you. I never imagined that one day we, the promising martial artists, would become the targets of others' challenges and humiliation?" He Xiangdong said with a wry smile.
Before this, he had witnessed the fates of the other seeded warriors.
Without exception, all those who clashed with the Wilderness Martial Arts University eventually became targets of the group of prospective seed martial artists, suffering round after round of brutal challenges before finally being defeated.
And now, that day has finally come for him.
When he looked up at the ring, he saw the burning fighting spirit in his cousin's eyes. He knew he had nowhere to run and could only bravely face the challenge.
However, He Xiangdong possessed unparalleled confidence in his own formidable strength. After all, he was a true top contender!
Moreover, he is a gifted and remarkable talent who excels in both mental and martial arts cultivation.
Judging solely from his martial arts cultivation, he is already a force to be reckoned with; not to mention that he also possesses the mysterious and unpredictable art of mental manipulation!
It should be noted that those mentalists at the eighth and ninth rank have relatively limited means of using.
Aside from that incredibly powerful mental attack, only a somewhat simple mental illusion technique remained to be used.
However, once he successfully advances to the seventh-grade mental master, the situation will change dramatically—at that time, he will have the amazing ability to control weapons!
This ability will undoubtedly become one of his key weapons for defeating his enemies.
Imagine how fearful the enemy would feel when facing He Xiangdong, who can manipulate various weapons at will.
