"Ah... right!"

"Fourth High School, Yang Xiangdi, wins! Points +3!"

Yang Xiangdi's casting speed and the smoothness of his combos stunned even the proctors.

The proctor, snapping out of it, hurriedly announced Yang Xiangdi's victory.

"Damn, that fatty's got skills! That combo got me fired up!"

"True, that fatty dared to dress so strangely for the college entrance exam; he's definitely got something up his sleeve."

"Look, that little loli won too! You can't judge a book by its cover!"

On the other side, Zuo You, after a series of attacks, seized an opportunity and slammed a shield into the strong man, knocking him off the arena and securing her victory as well.

With that, the eighth round of duels came to an end.

Only the final two rounds of the college entrance exam's preliminary point elimination round remained.

"Old Ghost Hong, that fatty and that little girl, they're the students you mentioned before who were recommended to Jingda University, right?"

"Where did you find such good seedlings? And you found five in one go?"

The principal of Third High School couldn't help but ask.

Fourth High School had always been at the bottom of the college entrance exam rankings, with only one or two talented students appearing occasionally.

But this time, five appeared all at once, how could he not be curious?

"Hahahaha! What does it have to do with me? It's all thanks to the students' own hard work, all thanks to their own hard work, hahahaha!"

Principal Hong Jianguo's face was beaming with joy. When the students excelled, he, as the principal, also benefited and gained face.

"Humph! Old Ghost Hong, don't get too happy too soon!"

The principal of First High School snorted coldly.

"Our First High School has five students who have achieved eight consecutive victories, no less than your Fourth High School! It's not certain who will be the top student in the Sūchéng four-element college entrance exam!"

"Oh? Tai Xuezheng, how about we make a bet?" Hong Jianguo asked with a smile.

Tai Xuezheng was the name of the principal of First High School.

"What bet?"

"Let's bet on that bottle of Maotai you've been collecting for twenty years. I've been eyeing it for a long time."

"You're dreaming! Don't even think about it! I'm warning you, don't get any ideas about my wine!" Tai Xuezheng angrily turned his head away.

"Alas, since you're afraid, then forget it. I didn't expect the principal of First High School to have so little confidence in his students."

Hong Jianguo pretended to sigh.

"Afraid? Would I be afraid? Would Tai Xuezheng not have confidence in his students? I'll take your bet!" Tai Xuezheng slammed the table and said.

"Good, a promise made?"

"Cannot be broken!"

"Hahahaha, Principal Tai is generous!" Hong Jianguo's face and heart were beaming with joy.

He didn't expect that watching a college entrance exam could lead to swindling a bottle of top-quality Maotai. This trip was too worthwhile!

He wasn't clear on how others viewed Qiao Yu and the others, but he was full of confidence in these students.

These were all fierce people who could clear Nightmare Village on their first time in a dungeon and even trigger a hidden mission to escape unscathed.

"Just you wait and see!" Tai Xuezheng was also full of confidence in his students.

Accompanying the intense smell of gunpowder in the principal's seats, the ninth round of duels finally began.

[Ninth Round]

[Arena 59, Second High School (Shi Shaorong) vs. Fourth High School (Qiao Yu)]

Qiao Yu waited on the stage for a while before a tall girl slowly walked up.

She had long, light blue hair, fair skin, and delicate features that made people unable to help but fall for her at first glance.

The only flaw was that this beauty's face was indifferent, as if she didn't eat the food of the mortal world.

"Wow! It's Shi Shaorong from Second High School, she's so beautiful!"

"Yeah, if I could marry her, I'd break my ribs and boil them into soup for her."

"Forget it, your ribs are too thin, use mine, my bone marrow is full, very nourishing!"

As soon as Shi Shaorong stepped onto the stage, a chorus of praise rang out from the audience, clearly, beauties are never lacking in pursuers and simps.

"Both contestants, please introduce yourselves," the proctor said.

"Second High School, Shi Shaorong, level 11, beginner ice mage."

"Fourth High School, Qiao Yu, level 11, beginner necromancer."

"Alright, introductions are complete, begin!"

At the proctor's command, Shi Shaorong immediately raised her staff, guarding against Qiao Yu.

In her rankings, Qiao Yu's threat level was high enough to be in the top three.

After waiting for a while, she discovered that Qiao Yu hadn't made a move, but was standing there in a daze, the two of them staring at each other like a blind date.

"Huh? You're not going to give up?" Qiao Yu asked curiously.

"...Why should I give up?" Shi Shaorong's voice was as cold as her expression.

"Wow! Finally found someone who won't give up!"

Qiao Yu excitedly took out the Yaoguang Knuckle Dusters, and the audience of Shi Shaorong's admirers instantly gasped.

"Damn, this kid isn't planning on using the same method from the first round to deal with Shi Shaorong, is he?"

"He dares! If he dares to hurt Shi Shaorong, I'll fight him to the death!"

"Too much! How can you use such a terrifying weapon against such a beautiful girl! Insufferable confidence, so cringe!"

As if hearing those shouts, Qiao Yu put away the Yaoguang Knuckle Dusters.

"No, no, can't use such violent methods like boxing to deal with a beauty."

He hesitated for a moment, indeed feeling it wasn't appropriate, so he took out a two-meter-long Green Dragon Crescent Blade.

The audience: "...Σ(ﾟдﾟlll)!!!"

The proctor: "..."

To be honest, he had been a proctor in the mage area for over ten years, what kind of mage hadn't he seen?

But a mage who pulled out knuckle dusters one moment and a big blade the next, he had really never seen...

Shi Shaorong herself was also a little dumbfounded, what was the concept of a mage wielding a big blade?

It was similar to seeing a giant panda in the wild holding an AK-47 Fire Kirin and sweeping around.

"Hi hi hi! Here I come!"

Qiao Yu, who hadn't had a fight in seven matches, excitedly swung the big blade and charged towards Shi Shaorong.

"Ice Wall Prison!"

Shi Shaorong raised her hand, and eight thick ice pillars rose from the ground, trapping Qiao Yu inside. Qiao Yu's momentum slowed down.

However, how could this level of restraint possibly trap Qiao Yu? He swung the big blade in his hand in a circle, and the eight ice pillars were instantly cut off at the roots.

Qiao Yu approached Shi Shaorong. As long as he could get close, Shi Shaorong would become a plaything in his hands, with no power to resist.

Shi Shaorong was obviously aware of this. While keeping her distance from Qiao Yu, she continuously released skills to block Qiao Yu.

But to her horror, no matter what skill she used, it could only trap Qiao Yu for a second or two at most.

The next second, Qiao Yu would directly smash and chop apart the ice wall she had condensed.

"You can't escape!"

Qiao Yu leaped high into the air, rapidly closing the distance with Shi Shaorong. He swung the Crescent Blade down at Shi Shaorong.

A look of triumph appeared in Shi Shaorong's beautiful eyes, and the corners of her rosy lips curled up slightly.

Finally waited for you to leave the ground!

She had been setting up various ice walls, ice pillars, and other obstacles on the ground to force Qiao Yu to leave the ground.

No matter how much power you have, leaving the ground and having nowhere to borrow strength from makes you a rootless duckweed!

"Qiao Yu, you are very strong, but you are too arrogant. Your eight-game winning streak ends here."

"Eternal Ice Wall!"
