Chapter 798 First Battle

The person muttering to themselves had slightly dilated pupils and was about to dart past the figure: "You were too careless." As they spoke, their hand was about to touch the label marked "1".

There were countless classes and countless "1s" on this field. Most of them were very smart and knew that they would become targets as soon as they entered the field, so they dared not gather together. They scattered in a flash at the beginning, and once they entered the mountain battlefield and hid, no one could find them immediately.

However, not everyone is so aware. Clearly, some people haven't realized their current predicament, brazenly exposing their backs to others—isn't this just a reminder for others to tear them down?
Just as the young man was about to grab the tag on the other person's back with lightning speed, the person seemed to have eyes in the back of their head and slightly turned to the side, dodging his hand.

The person behind was stunned for a moment, thinking it was a mistake, and reached out to grab it again, but this time it was more obvious, and the other person simply moved away.

"Haven't we discovered it?" The young man, who had initially thought it was a case of the mantis stalking the cicada, was somewhat surprised. But—

What's the use of discovering it? It's already become prey for someone else. If you're not smart enough, you'll be devoured by other predators sooner or later.

If that's the case, then why can't it be his stepping stone? Normally, the young man who might have slipped away cautiously and found another target would have had his resolve snapped, and he pounced on her, his eyes seemingly fixed only on that conspicuous number "1".

But he didn't notice that "Number 1," whom he considered prey and who had been running forward with his head down, glanced at him with a hint of helplessness from an angle out of his sight.

No, did this person even notice that although she was surrounded by many people, they were all maintaining a single formation and facing the same direction? She was the only one who barged in, completely out of place, and had even disrupted their formation.

Jiang Hui had naturally noticed the other party's actions long ago. However, considering the subsequent impact and benefits, there was no need to tear the person down, and he was even considering whether to simply bypass the person and get rid of them.

Unexpectedly, even though she didn't want to tear it up, the other party had their eyes on them—no, strictly speaking, they should have been targeting her.

This guy was incredibly lucky; he went straight for her without even figuring things out. He didn't even glance at Clarence and the other number 6, who were clearly closer, and targeted her as his prey.

She's quite capable, fast, and most importantly, very bold. If she had more time, she would have invited everyone over.

But that won't work; there's not enough time. And given the current situation, forcibly involving the other side would destabilize this hastily assembled team. Jiang Hui glanced at the other side's number, somewhat regretfully.

Faced with the person who was fighting again, Jiang Hui wasted no more time. He suddenly stopped and, during the brief pause, bent down and turned his head to press down on the person's shoulders with an extremely difficult turn.

It's really pressed.

Jiang Hui had calculated the path and force of his counterattack. Given the opponent's current center of gravity, even if he didn't fall, he would immediately lose balance and the initiative.

But even that brief moment of lingering is enough to shake someone off.

The young man reacted quickly, even nimbly. You should know that when Jiang Hui fought with her friends in the past, usually only Huan Xian was unaffected by this move and could immediately retaliate, and afterwards he would often be able to kill her with a counterattack.

Clarence was a bit slower, perhaps because of his physique, which was more rigid, and his martial arts style was more about strength. Therefore, while he had enough strength, his precision was slightly lacking. Sometimes his eyes and brain would react, but his body couldn't execute the movements correctly, which often allowed Jiang Hui to launch successful surprise attacks.

As for Zhou Xiuwen and Hillman, needless to say, the former's physical skills were always mediocre, and while Hillman did possess a remarkable ability to blend into his surroundings and remain hidden, he was equally unsuitable for combat. Therefore, Jiang Hui consistently delivered precise blows, taking them down in just a few moves.

Based on a few friends, Jiang Hui had a general understanding of her own abilities. She never expected to encounter someone far beyond her expectations on her first day at United University; indeed, there are always people more capable than you.

but--

Not enough. Having grown accustomed to her friends' almost ghostly and swift counterattacks, Jiang Hui was used to seizing every opportunity to retaliate, lest she be the next loser.

Jiang Hui took two steps in one, using a slight push to lightly leap into the air, and then accurately grabbed the young man's shoulder once again. Perhaps to prevent him from easily breaking free again, her hand was much heavier this time; it couldn't be called a grab, but rather that she used her finger bones and the edge of her palm to hold his fragile shoulder blade.

Her wrists, which should have been relatively slender and belonged to a young girl, were like iron clamps, pressing down on his entire body and immobilizing him.

The young man broke out in a cold sweat. He felt the hands gripping his back gradually increasing their pressure, soon reaching his limit. He never imagined this small guy could be so strong!

The other party didn't immediately strike when the critical point was reached. Like a top hunter who has caught its prey, it doesn't rush to eat its prey, but instead observes where it would be best to make its move.

In comparison, the young man, as the "prey," is in a much more difficult situation. His body and mind are on high alert; he might collapse at any moment. He will completely crumble in this one-sided "contest of strength," collapsing from the event and never getting up again.

No! He hasn't—

He couldn't be eliminated like this; he absolutely had to do something! He had no chance of a comeback from this position, and he couldn't break free or avoid it. With his body completely restricted and unable to break through using internal or external force, there was only one way.

Huh? The girl looked a little surprised, but her hand remained steady and didn't move an inch.

The young man had anticipated her reaction. After all, someone who could instantly circle behind him and subdue him possessed reaction speed and mental fortitude beyond imagination; ordinary commotion wouldn't be able to sway her. Therefore, this wasn't his real purpose.

The next moment, Jiang Hui's expression changed slightly. So that's what he was planning. But she had said that this guy rushed in without fully understanding the situation. If it were someone else, it might have actually worked, but for her, the people around her were all partners she considered cooperative.

However, being able to react in an instant is quite an effort, so let's just leave it at that. Anyway, we need more people like him to muddy the waters.

Of course, she wouldn't let her prey slip away so easily; anyone who dared to attack her from behind would have to pay a price.
