Amidst whispers, a burly man suddenly leaped onto the arena where Xiao Wu was.
"Just you two little girls challenging all the geniuses from every academy?"
"Hahaha, aren't you afraid of biting off more than you can chew!"
"My name is Tailong, my Spirit is the Mighty Ape. Let me have a go at you first!"
Finally, someone stepped onto the stage, and the damn viewing session could finally end.
Xiao Wu's eyes curved into crescents, a hint of secret delight and impatience flashing in her heart: "Xiao Wu, my Spirit is the Guanghan Jade Rabbit. Please advise."
As soon as her voice fell, both of them simultaneously released their Spirit and spirit rings.
On the arena, it seemed that waiting for the opponent to release their Spirit and spirit rings was the greatest respect one could show, even if these were all preliminary moves.
Both Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing now had ways to attack without activating their spirit rings.
But respect was needed on the arena, so they showed it as a formality.
Before Tailong could even move, Xiao Wu had already appeared in front of him, a pink glow flashing in her eyes… she unleashed: Moon Pupil Charm.
What about being a muscle-bound brute? Can he withstand Charm?
Indeed, Tailong only met her gaze, and immediately his eyes became vacant, then he stood still, quietly.
Xiao Wu chuckled softly, clapped her hands, and performed the Guanghan Branch-Breaking Hand twice with a whoosh.
"Crack, crack" went two sounds, the sound of dislocated joints.
Tailong was jolted awake by the pain; both of his arms had been dislocated by Xiao Wu.
His hands now hung limply at his sides.
Tailong gritted his teeth, enduring the pain, his eyes filled with ferocity.
"Ah—"
"You, what did you do to me just now?"
Xiao Wu blinked her large, innocent eyes, looking adorable and guileless: "Didn't do much! Just dislocated your two arms~ Can you still fight?"
This was already the result of her holding back; otherwise, the violent output of the Guanghan Branch-Breaking Hand would be more than simple dislocations. Under normal circumstances, it would start with broken hands and legs.
How could he fight after having his arms dislocated in one encounter?
Tailong was furious and frustrated, but there was nothing he could do. The opponent didn't play fair, actually using a mental attack… He didn't know that people with well-developed limbs usually had… "You, you just wait for me! I'll challenge you again once I've reattached my arms!"
After speaking, he jumped off the arena and walked away, grumbling.
A woman watching from a high vantage point was cursing furiously, gritting her teeth.
"What a brute, losing and still spouting threats!"
Xiao Wu looked down at the audience, her eyes full of arrogance, as if saying: Who else?
Ending the battle so cleanly and easily defeating an opponent of the same rank indeed made people look at her with new eyes.
She truly felt exhilarated; so this is what showing off felt like!
Of course, there were many who were unconvinced, especially the men, who felt she was taking a shortcut, so they also wanted to try.
On the other side, Zhu Zhuqing also welcomed her first opponent.
It was Huo Wu, who was also impatient. She rushed onto the stage without waiting for others to test the waters.
"Blazing Academy, Huo Wu, my Spirit is Fire Shadow. Please advise!"
"Supreme Academy, Zhu Zhuqing, my Spirit is the Nine Nether Spirit Cat. Please advise."
As soon as both released their Spirit and spirit rings, Zhu Zhuqing's figure vanished.
With the Xuanming Steps, she was so fast that only afterimages remained.
By the time Huo Wu reacted, it was already too late.
She was still preparing to unleash a Spirit Ability, but unfortunately, the wind-up was a bit long. Before she could cast it, Zhu Zhuqing performed Instant Hell Kill, her claws already at Huo Wu's throat.
This was a single-target killing move with extremely high damage, and it targeted a vital point. If she had truly intended to kill, the person in front of her would already be gone.
"You lost." A somewhat cold voice exploded in her ear.
"So, so fast…" Huo Wu's hair stood on end.
Feeling the sharp cat claws at her throat, she felt a chill down her spine.
It hadn't even started, and it was already over?
She knew herself that if it were a life-and-death struggle, wouldn't she already be half-dead?
"I surrender, I surrender, but can you tell me why you're so fast?"
Zhu Zhuqing thought for a moment, then said with a serious expression: "Want to learn? Join Supreme Academy."
Huo Wu was stunned, suddenly speechless.
She felt this was a display of Supreme Academy's power, and the real purpose, wouldn't it be recruitment?
"Um, I already have an academy, I'm sorry." She refused directly, but was also a little tempted.
"I was careless just now! Although I lost, I'm not convinced. If you have the guts, let's do it again!"
Zhu Zhuqing didn't say much, just nodded: "Okay, but the result will still be the same."
Her refusal to join Supreme Academy was within her expectations; you couldn't poach someone with just one attempt.
Huo Wu looked at Zhu Zhuqing's serious expression and immediately got angry: What does she mean? Looking down on me?
"Good, then let me show you my true skill!"
This time, Zhu Zhuqing made a 'please' gesture, signaling for her to make the first move.
Huo Wu became even angrier. As soon as her Spirit Ability was unleashed, Zhu Zhuqing's figure vanished again.
The Spirit Ability landed on empty air. Huo Wu was furious and was about to unleash another move when a cat claw once again rested on her forehead.
"You lost again. Still want to fight?"
Huo Wu instantly deflated. She was convinced; this speed was simply impossible to fight against!
"I, I, you, your speed is too fast, it completely counters me!"
Zhu Zhuqing thought for a moment and said: "If you're still not convinced, you can bring your teammates to challenge me."
These words made Huo Wu's face flush red then white.
Bring teammates? Isn't this still looking down on her? If she still lost, wouldn't she lose even more face?
Didn't she care about her reputation? Although, it seemed she didn't have much reputation left now.
"How about we just forget it! But I will challenge you again!"
Huo Wu remained stubborn, jumping directly off the arena. But just as she was about to leave, Ning Rongrong smilingly stopped her:
"Hey, hey, hey, wait a minute, your name is Huo Wu, right? Don't be discouraged, you're definitely not the most miserable. However, I'll give you a chance. Since you can't beat an agility-attack system, but I'm a support system, how about you fight me?"
Huo Wu looked bewildered: Is she planning to give me money?
"Are you, kidding me?"
Ning Rongrong wagged her index finger, her smile still brilliant: "No, no, no, I think Senior Sister Zhu Qing was indeed a bit too bullying. I'm easier to bully. If you beat me, ten thousand gold coins are still yours, how about it?"
She had deliberately stopped Huo Wu because she kept hearing her say she wasn't convinced.
It had to be said, Huo Wu was somewhat tempted. Her face was already gone anyway, so exchanging her face for ten thousand gold coins didn't seem like a loss, did it?
As the two were conversing, people were constantly being sent flying and falling from the arena.
None of these people were a match for Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing in a single encounter. Both fought with increasing vigor, their momentum overwhelming!
The spirited Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing looked proudly at the audience below, as if saying: Come and hit me… The performance of the two was indeed a bit too abnormal. The onlookers now wore grave expressions.
Facing the provocations of the two, they could only curse inwardly.
Such beautiful girls, how could they be so punchable?
But there were still stubborn people who would surely hit a brick wall before turning back.
Otherwise, they would think that those who were knocked off the arena were all hired actors.
If the two sides had appeared evenly matched, with narrow victories each time, it would be more normal. But all those who went on stage were instantly killed, which seemed a bit fake, didn't it?
At this moment, these stubborn people successively jumped onto the arena to hit the brick wall, but all of them were sent flying in a very short time.
Now, more and more people believed.
Huo Wu watched in astonishment; among those sent flying, there was even Feng Xiaotian!
Feng Xiaotian looked displeased, obviously very unconvinced. He challenged Zhu Zhuqing, couldn't beat her, then went to challenge Xiao Wu, and the result was still the same.
He now hung his hands limply, having been beaten to the point of being somewhat withdrawn.
He was a renowned genius in Tian Dou City, yet he didn't even have the power to fight back. He accepted this humiliation!
Losing face? So many people losing face together, it didn't seem so unacceptable.
This was insane! If he could choose, he would want to challenge Ning Rongrong.
Ning Rongrong couldn't help but want to laugh watching this scene.
"Senior Sister Zhu Qing, shall I take a turn?"
