The Silver Stars vs. Old Oriental ended smoothly.

After the two rounds of drawing, there is a two-day rest period in between.
经历前两轮团队赛，胜负战绩如下：帝国军校2胜0负，清北学院2胜0负，银星学院2胜0负, 紫荆花学院0胜2负, 兰翔学院0胜2负，旧东方学院0胜2负。

Silver Star has particularly good luck in the lottery. In two rounds, it faced colleges that have been ranked relatively low in previous years, and its record is very good.On the other hand, Bauhinia, which had particularly bad luck in the lottery, played against the Imperial Military Academy in the first game and Qingbei College in the second game. The two powerful colleges played a mixed doubles match, which can be said to have completely lost their temper.

However, the next draw will be a little simpler for them. According to the competition system, academies that have played once will not play against each other again. The next opponents Bauhinia will encounter can only be Silver Star, Lanxiang or Old Oriental.These three colleges, no matter who they face, they are confident of winning.

The final result came out, and the Silver Stars faced Redbud in the next round.
This is another good result for Silver Star, and not bad for Bauhinia Academy either.These two colleges, which had not been easy to deal with in the previous college ranking competitions, were full of confidence and felt that they could completely defeat each other.

In the conference room, members of the Silver Star chief group were studying the situation of Bauhinia Academy in an all-round way.

"Bauhinia is an academy that technically has both fifth-level and half-step fifth-level lineups. It is also the most powerful enemy we encountered in this team competition. According to the opponent's dual agility system configuration, our lineup is also Adjustments must be made. If Wu Haoxuan is not available this time, Xi Ling will be replaced."

The light screen displayed the list of the seven members of the Bauhinia Academy's chief group.
Among them, the ones that need the most attention have been marked in red, with Gu Beifeng and Xia Danxue highlighted.

"Gu Beifeng, chairman of Bauhinia College, Department of Agility, mimics the color peacock, also known as the colorful peacock."
"Xia Danxue, chief of the melee combat department of Bauhinia Academy, mimics the flaming griffin."

Both of these two are powerful S-class mimics. They are the signature mimics of their respective families and are ranked on the mimicry list.
By the way, Yuan Hanshuang has also entered the top ten of the mimicry list because of the detection of mythical mimicry. She is currently ranked ninth. When she reaches the holy level, she will have an opportunity to be evaluated. If she is strong enough, she may be able to climb up again. Two people.

"Gu Beifeng needs special attention again. Judging from the two battles at Bauhinia Academy two days ago, his mimicry has a special deception skill, and he has developed a style of play that relies heavily on this skill."

I have to give special thanks to Qingbei who played against me two days ago. Bauhinia Academy couldn't hide its clumsiness. It revealed its trump card and used all the skills of the Mimic True Body.
Xuanyuan Sheng pulled up the video and highlighted the sections where Gu Beifeng used mimicry.

"The direction of the skills he developed should be to randomly copy a skill of a talented person present and use it for his own use, but the specific activation medium is not clear. The skills of the Mimic True Body may be mental control. You see, he is When Qingbei was fighting against Gudze, the latter obviously showed a look of astonishment. Unfortunately, Zhuge Ci quickly pointed it out, so he didn't leave much information."

As for the battle between Bauhinia and the Imperial Military Academy, it was a complete crushing and had no reference value.

Yuan Hanshuang pondered: "Gu Beifeng's mimicry skill is good. It's equivalent to his own strength, and he can also find support from his opponents. No wonder he couldn't see it in the first stage. A duel between talented people is actually more conducive to his performance."

"That's it, not fast, fancy. Assassins are not like assassins, killers are not like killers, and they call themselves fraudsters." Gu Dong, who usually doesn't talk much in pre-game meetings, said calmly: "The agility system relies too much on skills. It is tantamount to following the heretic and performing for the monkeys.”

There was laughter one after another in the conference room.
Gudong rarely speaks, but every time he tells the truth, it turns into a cold joke.

They were laughing there, but Yuan Hanshuang quietly enlarged the light screen in front of her, browsing it repeatedly before and after Gu Beifeng used his skills several times.

Seeing this, Xuanyuan Sheng said: "What are you looking for?"

"I'm thinking that since his skills are so powerful, there must be certain restrictions."

There is a conservation principle in interstellar mimicry. The more powerful the mimicry, the more powerful the mimicry flaw.Although Yuan Hanshuang has been lying about having a mimicry defect in order to cover up the fact that she can eat crystal nuclei to upgrade, in fact she knows very well that her bottomless pit-like appetite is probably inseparable from the mimicry defect.
Not just mimicry, but powerful skills too.The more powerful the skill, the stronger the skill limit.The simplest example is royal mimicry. Even if it is as powerful as royal mythical mimicry, it can only have the skill of divine protection.

So Yuan Hanshuang guessed that Gu Beifeng's skills were probably the same.

"If we can find the limitations of his skills, maybe we can dig a hole for him to jump into."

Of course, there is still more to think about at this stage.
But overall, the strength of Bauhinia Academy is on par with Silver Star.Both sides are a fifth-level and a half-step fifth-level, so this fight is destined to be quite fierce.

Soon, the time came to the game day.
During the pre-game interview, the reporter clearly wanted to cause trouble.

"I have always heard that Bauhinia Academy and Silver Star Academy are at odds with each other. Faced with this battle, does Silver Star have anything to say?"

If these words had been spoken some time ago, Yinxing would have ridiculed him without mercy.
But after going through the first stage, to be honest, just like the Imperial Military Academy and Silver Star Academy last semester, everyone who has suffered together has a sense of sympathy in their hearts, not to mention that Silver Star has saved Bauhinia's life.

Therefore, Xuanyuan Sheng was humble for the first time: "Friendship comes first, competition comes second. Taking advantage of this competition, maybe we can improve the incompatible relationship between the two schools for many years."

As soon as this sentence came out, the audience watching the game in front of the light screen asked questions on the barrage.

【What?Look at how hard you fought in the first stage with all kinds of schemes and slaps in the face, but now you tell me that friendship comes first and competition comes second? ? ? 】
[Silver Star must have taken the wrong medicine, let me go. We played so intensely in the first stage, do you really think we don’t remember it?]
[The feud between Silver Star and Bauhinia seems to be not much worse than that of the Imperial Military Academy and the Federal Military Academy. I don’t believe in the handshake and peace of this class]

The Bauhinia Academy also paused.
Among the seven colleges, apart from the Federal Military Academy, they were the college that suffered the most heavy losses.So much so that even after a month's rest period, when it came to the team competition, I lost the arrogance that no one looked up to when I came to participate in the competition, and became extremely silent.

The last one to speak was Hai Yi.
After experiencing the death of his younger brother and recovering from his broken arm, he became leaner, as if he had grown up from a boy who knew nothing but was annoying to a teenager overnight.

"Bauhinia College is very grateful to Silver Star College and we will eliminate the barriers and do our best."

This time the barrage exploded.
【grateful?What are you grateful for?Thank you Silver Star for fooling you several times in the first stage? 】
【ah?It turns out that it’s not a single arrow, but a two-way arrow? ? ? 】
[Oh my god, if you live long enough, you can see everything. The silver star and the redbud flower shake hands and make peace? 】

Not to mention the audience, even the students at Silver Star Headquarters and the graduated Ming Jia barely breathed a sigh of relief when they heard these words about turning hostility into friendship.
After all, they didn't know what the main team members went through in the first stage. They just felt that this world was very ridiculous.If Silver Star and Bauhinia can reconcile, what else can't be achieved?
In the midst of heated discussions, the holographic mimicry of the arena was gradually completed.

Different from the previous two rounds of drawing, the scenes in this round are drawn on-site after the game starts. What kind of scene is drawn depends on God's will.The light screen flashed continuously, and finally it showed that the extracted scene was a green fog maze.

Seeing this scene, Bauhinia Academy on the field was fine, and Gao Yunshi smiled slowly in the background.

Clusters of tall dark green shrubs rise from the ground, each shrub is several meters high, almost blocking out the sky and the sun.Forget it, the scene is still shrouded in a fog that makes you unable to see even your fingers. The visibility is less than five meters. The scene looks quite eerie and terrifying. It is a place where children would have nightmares at night.

Before going on the field, Yuan Hanshuang rarely gave temporary instructions to everyone in the team: "Don't worry about me when you go in. Protect the back row as your first priority. If you need to focus fire or support, I will issue instructions."

"Gudong." She looked at the gray-haired killer: "You are of the agility type, and the task of gathering everyone in the early stage is left to you."

"Ah."

This time the teleport point is random from the beginning.
Six people on both sides were randomly teleported into the green mist maze.

Yuan Hanshuang turned on the mimetic synchrony for the first time in the holographic scene, and clung lightly to the edge of the bush.

Because this game ushered in a split formation at the beginning, the commentary in the live broadcast room responded very quickly and directly divided into several split screens. The commentator in charge of the explanation was still the same No. [-] from the beginning.
Today is different from the past. Silver Star's subscription volume has skyrocketed, becoming the biggest dark horse in this competition. Even the year-end bonus of commentator No. [-] has also risen sharply, which makes him laugh out of his dreams.

"Ohara is very sharp, and there is no sound at all." Commentator No. [-] marveled: "Looking at the screen, only the agility type can be so light. Sometimes I really wonder if Obara is a melee type."

Because they knew this map in advance, everyone in Silver Star did not panic.The same goes for the main players of Bauhinia Academy.
Only gradually, they discovered something was wrong.

"Can the skills of the auxiliary department of Bauhinia Academy be accurately positioned?" Chu Mu asked in surprise in the audience.
Lan Xiang will soon face Bauhinia, so he must be fully prepared.

After the competition started, everyone in Silver Star was groping along the bushes, stopping every few steps, always paying attention to what was going on around them.On the other hand, everyone in Bauhinia Academy seemed to have sensed something as soon as they were teleported in, and quickly rushed towards the center. Looking closer, they were all tied with a light blue thread, obviously using some kind of Positioning skills.

Five minutes later, a burst of pressure suddenly came from the upper left corner of the green mist maze.The huge colorful peacock's real body flashed in the air for a moment, and then quickly disappeared.

"How long has it been since the competition started, and Chairman Gu is already using the Mimicry skill?" The commentator was puzzled.
However, this peacock appeared and disappeared quickly, and few people noticed it.

The moment she felt the strange movement, Yuan Hanshuang no longer hesitated, directly raised her breath and rushed to the top of the bushes.In this game, Silver Star's lineup has adjusted its back row. Wu Haoxuan is not here, so there is no need to consider the safety of pure support. However, the configuration of the two agility systems on the opposite side means that Silver Star can only play from the back.

However, the conflict lasted for a moment and quickly disappeared.
Yuan Hanshuang realized something and hesitated for a moment, but still walked forward cautiously.

"Xiao Yuan is very confident!" Wei Yubo immediately saw her plan: "She thought that there was only Gu Beifeng, a fifth-level person on the opposite side, who could defeat Xia Danxue, so she planned to go there directly? What a pity. Bauhinia Academy happens to have the skills to control this map, and if she goes there, she might be surrounded."

The Xingwang viewers watching this live broadcast had their hearts in their throats, fearing that Yuan Hanshuang would step into this trap.
However, Yuan Hanshuang knew nothing about this. She switched directly from the safer and more concealed lower part of the maze to the upper part, and the figure in the black combat uniform flew past as quickly as a cheetah.

Halfway through, Yuan Hanshuang stopped.
In fact, she didn't want to go to that place where she could make a sound. As for the rough tactics of Bauhinia Academy, it was okay to deceive the audience outside the venue, but it was absolutely impossible to deceive an experienced veteran like her.

"Ohara stopped and lay down on the bush, but on the other side of the maze, Silver Star and Bauhinia had just started their first small-scale conflict. Oh, oh, they caught the lone player Xia Mengrou. This wind blade is beautiful! The launch angle was very tricky, which gave me a good positioning advantage. I was lucky that my teammates arrived in time.”
The commentator looked regretful: "Both sides chose to retreat directly. It was just the first wave of testing after the game started. It seemed that it was in vain and neither side took advantage."

This conflict was a bit far away from the original location of Hanshuang. Coupled with the fog and echo, it was difficult to pinpoint it accurately.So she simply didn't leave and continued to wait where she was.

Obviously, Yuan Hanshuang's judgment was very accurate.
She only waited another five minutes before she heard movement around the bushes, and the second round of firefight began.

Xia Mengrou covered her hands and stood not far away waving to her: "Xiaoyuan, here!"

"Why are you injured?" Yuan Hanshuang immediately climbed over the bush without saying a word.

"Two people from Bauhinia Academy surrounded me just now. There is still a firefight over there. Let's get there quickly."

"it is good."

The two of them came to a corner of the maze, one behind the other.From the bottom of the maze, there was the sound of a fight. Because the visibility was too low, it was difficult to see who was on the other side. All that could be seen was the burning mist. In short, there must be Xia Danxue.

"Let's move to the other side and cut into the battlefield from the side."

"can."

No one in the venue noticed, but the audience outside the venue had their hearts in their throats.
The picture they saw had not been changed by mental power, and was completely different from what the players saw.

Just when Xia Mengrou curled her mouth, her hands flew, and she was about to use the wind blade to face the unsuspecting back, Yuan Hanshuang suddenly turned around.

The huge, half-finished pseudo-real body slowly emerged behind her. The long hair hanging on her side was twisted back at an incredible angle. Together with her slender waist, she narrowly avoided the dreamy wind. blade.
This is not over yet!
Due to preparations in advance, Yuan Hanshuang had already pinched the Baji Fist in her hand to interrupt the opponent's sudden advance. She was aware of the gap between the two and did not hesitate to fight, and quickly fell towards the maze.

"How did you find out?"
Realizing the distance between the two of them since they met, obvious confusion appeared on 'Xia Mengrou''s face.

"You are stupid, the eldest lady would never call me that."
Yuan Hanshuang shouted while running, with spiritual power added to her voice.

Of course she wouldn't place any hope on being able to outrun Gu Beifeng, a fifth-level agility type. Looking at the situation on the other side, I'm afraid she had already saved a hand and had probably already completed the rendezvous.In this case, there is no need to stay quiet and not reveal your position. It is better to shout out and call your teammates.

"Ohara's reaction is simply textbook level!" The commentator praised loudly: "In such a tense situation on the field, he can still pay attention to every address. The most important thing is that Chairman Gu's real body skills have not been exposed before. It’s amazing to make a judgment in one moment!”

Yuan Hanshuang's shout quickly attracted Xuanyuan Sheng, who was not far away.The latter took Xia Mengrou to join them.
Seeing this from a distance, Gu Beifeng had no intention of pursuing him. He twisted his body for a moment and disappeared into the mist.

"Stop! Don't come over yet."
Although Gu Beifeng had just left, he might still have a backup plan.From a distance, Yuan Hanshuang looked wary: "Please describe the scene when we first met."

The audience outside the venue burst into laughter.
[Hahahahahaha Obara]
[Help, Xiaoyuan is afraid of being deceived?]
[It’s normal. I didn’t expect Chairman Bauhinia’s mimicry skill to be fake. This skill is simply unbelievable. I was surprised to see him copy other opponents’ skills before]

Although they didn't know the reason, Xuanyuan Sheng and Xia Mengrou quickly answered her questions.
After confirming, Yuan Hanshuang explained to the two of them what he had just encountered.

"Gu Beifeng fought against me not long ago. Fortunately, Xuanyuan Sheng and Gu Dong arrived in time."
Xia Mengrou realized how difficult the problem was: "But I didn't have any contact with him, nor did I see him activate his skills. How could he directly copy my mimicry skills and appearance?"

Do you just need to see with your eyes?That would be too outrageous.
Yuan Hanshuang said nothing, her eyes flashed with concentration for a moment.

"Go find the other two first."

On the other side, Gudong lurks in the mist.He moved very quickly and almost silently.

This scene is just like the previous doomsday ruins, it is very easy to use the agility system, which is not only beneficial to Gu Beifeng, but also a natural choice for him.Soon, he found the last Silver Star member in the maze.

This time, Gu Dong just glanced at it, and the murderous aura around him suddenly surged, and the silver blade in his hand disappeared in a flash.
As a last resort.Gu Beifeng could only dodge.

Seeing that his disguise was seen through one after another, he was puzzled: "How on earth did you recognize him?"
Last time when Yuan Hanshuang recognized him, one could say that he was unlucky and made a mistake in his expression. But looking back, Beifeng had fully learned his lesson. Before he could say a word, Gu Dong came over with murderous intent and raised his knife. .

Gu Beifeng had tried this trick countless times, and it could be said that he had never failed.After all, there are many people in the interstellar world who possess illusionary mimicry, but there are really not many who distort themselves to commit fraud.Even against Qingbei not long ago, Gudze almost thought they were his teammates. If Zhuge Ci hadn't reminded them, and Bauhinia couldn't solve their brains, it would be a pity to lose.
He was caught out twice, but whenever Gu Beifeng touched him, he could kick someone out, but he didn't.

The killer said nothing, and the silver-white silver-winged falcon suddenly lit up behind him. Its tail feathers were sharp, its blade sharp, and every move he struck was heavier than the last.
One time, he even used the Chu Gu family's signature choke-holding move. If he hadn't been familiar with it since he was from the same five major families, Gu Beifeng would have had his throat crushed.But even so, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he got out of the way.

"Are you crazy?!" He looked at Gudong in disbelief: "This is a competition, are you really playing with me?"

Gudong sneered, flicked his wrist, and brought up a burst of afterimages.
To put it bluntly, the Academy Ranking Competition is an all-star competition. From the first stage, Gu Dong has intentionally or unintentionally hidden his true strength.After all, his family is a professional killer. How can it be repaid if others know about his tricks?

But now, Gu Beifeng is sure that this guy has used at least [-]% of his strength.
The remaining [-]% ​​belongs to those who still care about the face of the heir of his Gu family.

However, although his mimicry skills are strong, after copying a person's skills and appearance, he must maintain it for 10 minutes before he can change it again.What a coincidence. In this review, Beifeng copied the original template of Hanshuang.
He originally thought that Hanshuang's original template belonged to a god among gods. After all, she was not only a mythical mimic, but the power of Bajiquan skills was obvious to all the stars. That's why after successfully meeting the copying conditions, he did not lead the team to continue the pursuit, but instead went back to the other side with great interest. Continue to look for the lone member of Silver Star.

As a result, Gu Beifeng didn't understand what it meant to shoot himself in the foot until he actually fought against Gu Dong.

He clearly copied this Bajiquan skill, but it couldn't produce one-tenth of the power of the original Hanshuang, which can be said to be a copycat.Gu Beifeng has been running rampant with deception skills for many years, and this is the first time he encountered this situation.
Forget it if he can't get out, but he unexpectedly encounters a furious Gu Dong. It's so painful that he can only keep dodging and passively being beaten, which feels aggrieved.

In the audience, Yi Yangyun shook his head: "Chairman Gu must have never been exposed to ancient martial arts before. The former chairman's martial arts skills were cultivated by her. They are not tricks that can be used by simply activating skills."

No one knows better than him, who is also a practitioner of ancient martial arts, that every muscle, the strength and energy when activated are all factors that determine the power of ancient martial arts.Even if Yi Yangyun were to master the Baji Fist at the same half-step fifth level, he would not be able to achieve the same power as Yuan Hanshuang.

Zhuge Ci's evaluation was even more sharp: "You are trapped in a cocoon."
This stupid move not only failed to defeat him, but also exposed the shortcomings of his skills.

After another round, Gu Dong raised his eyes, his purple eyes filled with undisguised murderous intent.
He looked across at the president of Bauhinia College who was wearing his original frosty appearance, with an extremely cold expression.

"If you don't want to die, you'd better cancel your deception skills as soon as possible."

Gu Beifeng, who was wearing his original frosty shell:? ? ?
No, what does this have to do with his use of deception skills?
