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

The entire arena trembled violently as a massive crater, over three meters in diameter, exploded from the center of his fist. Countless fragments of rock mixed with blue arcs of electricity scattered in all directions, transforming into a barrage of shrapnel.

Bai Huanran reappeared a dozen meters away, stepping on a thin film of water that slid away all the splashing pebbles and arcs of electricity.

"See, it's the same again."

Bai Huanran spread his hands, forcing a relaxed smile: "Besides destruction, what else can you do?"

That's enough.

Charles stopped his futile pursuit. His chest heaved violently, the grotesque veins on his neck throbbed wildly, and blue electricity flickered beneath his skin.

"Is that enough?"

Bai Huanran raised an eyebrow, feigning surprise: "I thought the captain of Zero Academy could hold out a little longer."

Charles gritted his teeth.

They've been provoking us all along...

You've really annoyed me!

He finished warming up and opened his arms.

Boom!

The blinding blue lightning ignited a real thunderstorm, with Charles at its core, creating a huge ball of lightning that expanded wildly in all directions.

The entire arena was engulfed by raging blue plasma, the alloy floor tiles sizzled and melted into molten iron, and the protective shields in the stands were pushed to their limits, emitting a hum that could not bear the strain.

In the Zero Academy's rest area, Ross was also taken aback; he knew all too well the power of Charles's move.

Bai Huanran's figure was struggling in the thunderstorm. The rising water curtain exploded into white vapor as soon as it came into contact with the lightning, making him like a small boat in a giant wave, and he could be completely swallowed up at any moment.

At Huaqing Academy, Qin Wu, who had recovered and been discharged from the hospital, sighed, "That Bai Huanran, he really went too far."

"uncertain."

An Changqing's gaze pierced through the raging lightning, looking at the rising water vapor.

On the field, in the eye of the storm, Charles let out a triumphant laugh as he looked at Bai Huanran, who was struggling against his power, his eyes filled with smug satisfaction.

"it's over!"

He prepared to unleash his last bit of power to deliver a fatal blow to his opponent.

At that very moment, Bai Huanran's voice clearly pierced through the thunderous roar.

"Yes, it's over."

He raised his hand, spread his fingers, and then gently clenched them in the air.

In an instant, the invisible moisture that permeated the entire space became the most deadly conductor under this grasp.

All the lightning released by Charles instantly went out of control, rushing back to its single source like madmen along this omnipresent pathway.

Himself!

"What?!"

Charles's eyes widened suddenly, reflecting his own out-of-control lightning.

He wanted to cut off the energy output, but the power that had already been released was like a wild horse that had broken free of its reins, completely beyond his control. Instead, it formed a perfect closed loop through that invisible conductive network, turning against its master.

It's sizzling!

Countless blue arcs of electricity poured into his body through every pore, tearing at his muscles and burning through his internal organs.

His pride and joy in the power of lightning had now become the cruelest torture for him.

"Ahhhhh!"

Charles's massive body convulsed violently under his own power, and the skin on his body was charred black inch by inch.

Thunderstorms come and go quickly.

When the last flash of lightning faded, the arena was a scene of utter devastation, leaving only the molten crater in the center, more than ten meters in diameter, and a charred humanoid figure kneeling at the edge of the crater, emitting black smoke.

Bai Huanran's figure slowly descended, his face somewhat pale. Clearly, controlling such a massive amount of water vapor to guide the thunderstorm had taken a huge toll on him, but he still stood upright.

He walked step by step to Charles, looking at his opponent who had completely lost the ability to resist, and the water in his hand condensed into a blade as thin as a cicada's wing.

Charles struggled to lift his head, his eyes filled with resentment on his charred face.

"you……"

"I've said it before, taking drugs every day will make you stupid."

Bai Huanran placed the water blade against his neck and said softly.

The referee's voice echoed across the empty stadium.

"The winner is Bai Huanran from Taipei City Academy!"

Bai Huanran removed the water blade from Charles's neck. The crystalline blade turned into water in his palm, flowing down between his fingers and evaporating cleanly on the charred floor tiles.

He didn't look at the charred remains still emitting black smoke on the ground anymore, turned around, and walked step by step towards his own rest area.

After a brief period of stadium repairs, the discussion was interrupted by a new burst of light, drawing everyone's attention back to the giant holographic screen.

The light shimmered and then settled.

The entire arena erupted in cheers when the two avatars appeared side-by-side on the screen.

Huaqing College, An Changqing.

Huaqing College, Su Yuehe.

"The First Civil War!"

"The matchup I least wanted to see has happened; Huaqing's top contenders have met ahead of schedule."

The commotion spread like a plague from the stands.

The atmosphere in the rest area of ​​Huaqing College was quite relaxed.

An Changqing and Su Yuehe exchanged a smile, their tacit understanding unspoken.

The civil war was expected, even though Long Ao was seriously injured and withdrew from the competition at the beginning, Huaqing had too many contestants.

"This is a competition, but also a tribute to all our past efforts."

An Changqing stood up, as calm and gentle as ever: "Perfect, let me see just how strong you are now, Yuehe."

"Me too."

Su Yuehe also stood up. She walked up to An Changqing, their eyes met, and she said without showing any weakness, "You'd better be careful."

After saying that, she turned around and walked towards the arena alone.

An Changqing watched her retreating figure, then picked up his longsword and followed her.

The two walked one after the other on the road to the competition venue, becoming a rare harmonious pair of athletes.

Only when the two stood in the center of the arena, ten meters apart, facing each other, did that warmth dissipate and was replaced by a fierce fighting spirit soaring into the sky.

Inside the VIP box on the dais, the three men were still in high spirits: "Which is stronger, the sharpest spear or the strongest shield?"

"They are not a spear and a shield."

Nan Dou casually pulled up the information of the two people: "They are a clash of two different rules, it depends on who has a deeper understanding of the rules."

"Yeah, kids these days..." San Tai looked at the stage with a disgruntled expression.

She's barely a baby and already messing around with rules? Isn't she a genius? How come she got crushed by a lower-dimensional opponent?

"Hey, San Tai, who do you think will win?"

Baihu greeted him with a smile, and Santai pondered for a moment before saying, "It should still be An Changqing, right? In my memory, he always won their duels."

Upon hearing this, Baihu put on a mysterious expression and said, "How about we raise the stakes? I'm betting on that little girl to win."

San Tai immediately became alert. The White Tiger was the most cunning creature; it wouldn't make such a request unless it was absolutely certain of victory.
