The comments said I was deeply affectionate, I just added points by using an alternate account.

Chen Guan looked at the swaying figure in the arena. He could tell that Qin Wu was seriously injured, but his aura, though chaotic, was not dissipated.

Like a giant mountain whose belly has been hollowed out, its outer shell remains sturdy.

"It's not over yet."

Qin Wu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and slowly raised his head: "Bai Huanran, you're right. Your methods have indeed exceeded my expectations."

He straightened his back, which was slightly hunched from the pain, and the alloy ground beneath his feet cracked inch by inch from his feet, as a thick, earthy yellow energy surged out of his body once again.

"But you forgot one thing."

"Even if a rock is broken, it is still a rock."

Bai Huanran's pupils contracted to pinpoints as he saw the energy on Qin Wu's body transform into spiral streams of air, forcefully expelling the troublesome water needles from his body, bit by bit.

"Want to expel it? Dream on!"

Bai Huanran was completely devastated. He couldn't lose, and he couldn't afford to lose.

He pointed to the sky and shouted, "Bury the sea!"

Boom!

The dark clouds turned an ominous crimson, all the moisture was compressed to the extreme, and finally transformed into a blood-red giant wave, tens of meters high, carrying the force of destruction, which crashed down on Qin Wu.

As the giant wave passed, the air emitted a piercing shriek, and even the protective shields at the edge of the arena stirred up violent ripples.

Faced with this wave of blood powerful enough to corrode even steel, Qin Wu poured all his remaining energy into his arms without reservation. The earthy yellow light shone so intensely that it resembled two real mountain ranges.

He was going to use his own flesh and blood to withstand this attack that was a gamble with everything.

"Senior!"

The cries of the mountain were completely drowned out by the roar of the crashing waves.

boom!

A crimson wave crashed down on that rock-solid figure.

There was no instantaneous collapse.

The moment Qin Wu's arms came into contact with the blood wave, his skin and flesh were corroded and hissed, but he still stubbornly held on.

The ground beneath his feet shattered completely, and his legs were crushed deep into it by the enormous impact. He was pushed backward and slid, carving two bottomless furrows in the arena.

The ear-piercing scraping sound echoed throughout the venue.

Everyone held their breath, staring intently at the figure struggling to hold on amidst the crimson tide.

He was like the last stubborn rock on the coastline, refusing to fall no matter how many times the raging waves crashed against him.

Bai Huanran's face was ashen, and he stared intently at Qin Wu, his eyes bloodshot.

Fall down!

Why won't you fall down!

Finally, Qin Wu was pushed to the edge of the arena; one more step and he would be off the field.

The bones in his arms cracked under the strain, and the earthen-yellow protective energy within him flickered like a candle in the wind.

Just when everyone thought he was about to be swallowed up, the unstoppable crimson wave suddenly slowed down.

Bai Huanran had reached his limit.

Qin Wu seized this fleeting opportunity, using his last bit of strength to push his crossed arms forward with a sudden burst of energy.

boom!

The remaining blood waves were detonated by this force, blasting into a rain of blood.

Qin Wu's figure was also completely thrown away by the aftershock of the explosion, and he crashed heavily outside the arena.

To step onto the field is to lose.

He lost.

The entire stadium was deathly silent.

A few seconds later, deafening cheers erupted in the rest area of ​​Taipei College.

"We won! We won!"

Bai Huanran stood in the center of the field, breathing heavily. He looked at the figure outside the field who struggled to stand up but eventually collapsed from exhaustion, and finally managed a bleak smile on his face.

He won, preserving the last vestige of dignity for Taipei College.

However, before the smile could freeze, an irresistible feeling of weakness surged through her limbs and bones.

His vision went black, and he felt a sweet taste in his throat.

The cheers from the entire stadium suddenly fell silent.

Everyone, including the students of Taipei Academy, was horrified to see their victorious captain, Bai Huanran, who had just been so arrogant, suddenly collapse to the ground, unconscious.

"Quickly! Medical team!"

The referee's roar mingled with the chaotic footsteps of medical staff rushing onto the field.

In Huaqing's rest area, no one spoke.

An Changqing and Su Yuehe rushed off the field and helped up Qin Wu, who was covered in blood but still had his eyes open.

"I... lost."

Qin Wu's face showed no sign of disappointment, but rather a calm expression of relief.

Chen Guan looked at Bai Huanran, who was being urgently lifted onto a stretcher and fell into a deep coma, and then at Qin Wu, whose eyes were clearer than ever before, even though he had lost the game.

Neither of them really lost.

The footsteps of medical staff were hurried and chaotic. Two teams rushed to the scene and carried the unconscious Bai Huanran and the blood-soaked Qin Wu onto stretchers at the same time.

The cheers in the Taipei Academy rest area stopped abruptly, like a duck being choked. Everyone stared in astonishment at their captain's disheveled appearance, covered with an emergency life support mask.

At Huaqing Academy, An Changqing watched as Qin Wu was pushed away and was about to speak when Su Yuehe stopped him first.

"What he needs right now is quiet. We haven't lost yet, have we?"

An Changqing was taken aback. When he looked at Su Yuehe again, he saw a clarity in her eyes that far exceeded her age.

Yes, the game is still going on. If he runs away too, who will defend the base?

At that very moment, the giant holographic screen in the center of the arena forcefully drew everyone's attention back to the game.

"Next match, Huaqing Academy, Su Yuehe, vs. Zero Academy, Kyle."

The moment the list appeared, whispers erupted once again in the venue.

"Su Yuehe, that sorcerer of words!"

"The opponent is Kyle, known as the nemesis of mages. His sonic shockwaves can forcibly interrupt all chanting. Now Su Yuehe is completely countered!"

In the rest area of ​​Zero Academy, a blond youth stood up, a confident smile on his face, and gave his companion a relaxed gesture.

"I was lucky; I drew the easiest one to deal with."

He is Kayle, a man who enjoys hunting down mage-type opponents.

Ignoring the surrounding chatter, Su Yuehe quietly walked towards the arena.

As Chen Guan looked at Su Yuehe's slender yet upright back, the image of her speaking words and becoming law flashed through his mind.

restraint?

That depends on whose restraint.

Even if there's a power imbalance, a significant difference in strength is still unacceptable.

Chen Guan didn't think Su Yuehe would lose; her performance in the previous team competition alone was enough for her to win.

However, while Su Yuehe's move was powerful, it lacked a hit detection effect behind her, making it reliant on her teammates. Fortunately, her opponent was from Zero Academy, allowing her to exploit an information gap.

The two stood still in the center of the field.

Kyle looked at the quiet Su Yuehe across from him, his smile widening.

"Beautiful lady, I advise you to just surrender. I don't know how to be gentle with women."

Su Yuehe looked at him quietly without saying a word.

Kyle was eliminated too early in the last round, otherwise he probably wouldn't dare to make such outrageous statements.

However, this is a good thing for Su Yuehe.

Just like Chen Guan said, she can exploit information asymmetry.
