I gain permanent defense when attacked; even gods and demons can't hurt me.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a strange change occurred on the arena!

His Goblin King suit suddenly glowed with a chilling, bloodthirsty red light!

The interplay of red and green creates an exceptionally eerie and violent effect!

[Set bonus triggered: Bloodlust! Brutal Strike!]

[Deals additional true damage to enemies!]

"hey-hey"

Xia Chen raised her head, and her eyes had turned completely blood red.

He looked at Jiang Feng, who was sitting opposite him with a smug expression, and grinned maliciously: "The tickling is over, pretty boy. It's time for your grandpa to retaliate!"

boom!

Xia Chen launched another attack!

But this time, his speed was astonishing, even leaving afterimages. Jiang Feng's pupils shrank sharply. He tried to dodge, but found it was too late!

"How could it be so fast?!"

call!

The enormous spiked club fell with the force of destruction!

Jiang Feng's prized Crystal Shield instantly cracked under this attack, and he was forced to his knees, coughing up blood, his face filled with terror: "What?!"

"How come his attack speed and power have suddenly increased again, and he's even inflicting true damage with each hit, while also healing?!"

"What the hell is this equipment?!"

However, Xia Chen gave his opponent no chance to breathe or think. Once he gained the upper hand, the berserker's mad dog mode was fully activated!

boom! boom! boom!

The offensive was like a raging storm, relentless and ever-increasing in speed!

Each strike dealt true damage and drained life force, forcing Jiang Feng into a retreating retreat, his crystal sword trembling.

"Damn it! Damn it!"

Forced into a corner, Jiang Feng had no choice but to activate his ultimate survival move.

Crystal Barrier!

An incredibly thick crystal wall rose up in front of him, protecting him firmly within it.

Jiang Feng, panting heavily, said, "Let's see how long you can keep up this arrogance. Once this outburst is over, let's see what tricks you have up your sleeve!"

Seeing Jiang Feng protecting him inside, Xia Chen stopped attacking, his blood energy condensed to its peak, and the goblin king phantom on his suit let out a roar.

Goblin King Set Bonus Ultimate Skill: Rage Burst!

Effect: Immune to all control effects! Attack power instantly doubles!

boom!

The spiked club in Xia Chen's hand instantly grew larger, and with a devastating force, it slammed heavily into the crystal barrier!

The seemingly indestructible crystal barrier was blasted into countless fragments, and the terrifying force of the wind made Jiang Feng's skin ripple.

The spiked club, carrying the aura of death, finally hovered just an inch above Jiang Feng's head.

If it went any lower, Jiang Feng's head would explode like a watermelon.

Jiang Feng froze on the spot, his face pale.

At that moment, he truly felt death.

"call"

Xia Chen exhaled a breath of stale air, put away his spiked club, and the red light on his body slowly dissipated.

He looked at Jiang Feng, who was completely terrified, and calmly uttered three words: "You lost."

Although Xia Chen played fiercely and became more and more excited as the game progressed, he still remembered that friendship comes first and competition second.

This is, after all, someone else's home turf. They can't just trigger the protective formation right away in the first match; that would be too disrespectful to the people from Shanghai University.

At the same time, the referee at the edge of the ring rushed onto the stage, stood between the two, and loudly announced: "First match! War Academy—Xia Chen wins!!"

Although he secured his first victory, Xia Chen's current condition is not optimistic.

He leaned on the heavy spiked club, panting heavily, his chest heaving violently.

While that [Rage Burst] attack was powerful, its side effects were also obvious.

At this moment, his blood and qi were surging within him, and his physical strength was severely depleted. However, due to the blood-absorbing process, he still had about half of his blood remaining.

His next opponent will clearly not give him any chance to breathe.

The university campus in Shanghai, the preparation area.

The atmosphere was extremely tense.

The team leader's face was extremely grim. He never expected that his proud swordsman, who was skilled in both offense and defense, would be so easily defeated in the first match.

"Don't panic."

The captain of the Magic City Academy, a young man dressed in a dark blue robe and holding an arcane staff, calmly spoke.

He is a legendary class, the Arcane Sage.

He pushed up his glasses and said, "That berserker is at his last gasp now."

"His burst skills are all on cooldown, and his stamina is running out."

"But he also has that disgusting life-steal effect from his armor set, so you absolutely cannot engage him in close combat."

The captain turned around and looked at a boy in a white robe behind him:

"Liu Han, you go."

"You're an ice mage, so you're effective against him right now. Once you're up there, don't give him any chance to get close."

"Use slowing down and control to wear him down like a kite!"

"clear!"

Liu Han nodded, picked up his staff, and strode towards the arena.

"Liu Han, from Shanghai's top universities!"

As Liu Han appeared, the icy aura emanating from him seemed to lower the temperature around him by several degrees.

Name: Liu Han

[Class: Frost Weaver (Rare)]

[Level: lv29]

[Core Skills:]

【Extreme Cold Domain (Field Magic): Creates a surface of ice, reducing the movement speed of enemies.】

[Level: lv29]

[Core Skills:]

【Extreme Cold Domain (Field Magic): Creates a surface of ice, reducing the movement speed of enemies.】

【Frost Chains (Control): Binds the enemy, preventing them from moving.】

Blizzard: Deals continuous magic damage over a large area and inflicts a "Freeze" effect.

After looking at the panel, Lin Yuan sighed: "This is troublesome. Ice mages have a variety of control methods, such as slowing down, freezing, and changing the terrain."

"They're taking advantage of Xia Chen's exhaustion and want to use a kite-like strategy in the second round."

Chu Tianxing, standing to the side, nodded solemnly: "Xia Chen's movement skill is still on cooldown."

"It also consumes a lot of physical energy."

"This match is in jeopardy against such a controlling opponent."

On the arena.

The referee glanced at the state of both sides and waved to signal.

"The second match!"

"start!!"

boom!

As the referee finished speaking.

Although Xia Chen was exhausted, his fighting spirit remained high. He wanted to use the same tactic again and launch another charge to close the distance.

However, Liu Han was clearly prepared.

He slammed his staff into the ground, chanting a rapid incantation: "Frost spirits, heed my call!"

Extremely cold regions!

Centered on Liu Han, a terrifying chill instantly spread out!

The once hard ground was instantly covered with a thick layer of solid ice, smooth as a mirror!

Slurp!

Xia Chen had only taken two steps when his foot slipped, and he instantly lost his balance and staggered.
