Jiang Nannan walked onto the stage expressionlessly. As she appeared, a round of enthusiastic cheers erupted from the audience, as her performance on the first day had left a very deep impression on everyone.
The first contestant sent out by Yunluo Academy was a somewhat corpulent boy. When he saw that his opponent was Jiang Nannan, his face immediately turned exceptionally fearful and terrified.
"The rules of the individual elimination match are: the losing side immediately steps down, and the winning side can choose to continue the match or withdraw and substitute. Each side sends seven people, until all seven people from one side have lost the match. Understood?" the referee said.
"Understood!" Jiang Nannan's voice was clear, crisp, and decisive.
"U-understood!" his opponent, however, was somewhat nervous, his voice stammering as he spoke.
The referee continued, "Alright, both sides step back. The match will begin on my command. High-damage spirit tools that rely on material superiority, such as fixed-load spirit tools, are not allowed."
"S-senior, my name is Ma Yingjun. Please be lenient, senior!" As Jiang Nannan retreated, she heard her opponent's voice, he said.
"En!" Hearing this, Jiang Nannan couldn't help but want to laugh, but she maintained her cold expression, nodding coolly, then came to the edge of the stage.
"Thank you, senior!" Ma Yingjun saw Jiang Nannan's reaction, immediately broke into a happy smile, and then cheerfully came to the edge of the stage.
"Match start!" the referee announced loudly.
Upon hearing the referee's voice, Ma Yingjun of Yunluo Academy immediately reacted. He raised his arms, and from each arm, three thumb-thick metal tubes flipped out. Two arm-thick metal tubes also appeared on his shoulders, and a pair of folded wings instantly unfolded behind him. Six metal tubes appeared on each of his two thick legs, and a metal heart-guard-like Spirit shield appeared on his chest. Fully armed, he couldn't help but feel a bit more confident.
However, on the other side, Jiang Nannan, upon hearing the referee's starting command, also responded instantly. Her Taiyin Jade Rabbit Spirit instantly attached to her, five spirit rings flickered behind her, and her first Spirit Ability was released instantly. Her delicate body transformed into a silver streak of light, and in the blink of an eye, she appeared before Ma Yingjun.
At this moment, Ma Yingjun had just finished arming himself and had absolutely not expected Jiang Nannan to be so fast. He wanted to block Jiang Nannan, but it was already too late.
Jiang Nannan unleashed her second Spirit Ability, Silver Moon Sky Flash, grabbing Ma Yingjun with both hands. With a slight exertion of her long legs, she immediately carried him into the air. After a series of topsy-turvy spins, she slammed him heavily onto the ground.
With a "bang," everyone outside the arena couldn't help but cover their eyes. For such a beautiful girl, the Spirit Ability she used was a bit too brutal!
Ma Yingjun was smashed to the ground, and all the spirit tools on his body scattered. Although he was bruised and swollen from the fall, fortunately, Jiang Nannan had held back at the end, so he didn't suffer too much physical injury. However, his limited will to fight was completely shattered by the fall.
"I-I surrender!" Ma Yingjun stammered, his eyes filled with fear as he looked at Jiang Nannan.
"Individual elimination match, first round, Shrek Academy, wins." The referee immediately announced. A look of solemnity also appeared in his gaze towards Jiang Nannan. If the first day's match had made everyone notice Jiang Nannan's heroic bearing, then from this match onwards, everyone would remember this stunning girl's brutal Spirit Ability.
"agility-attack system!" In the Sun Moon Academy's resting area, Ma Rulong said with a solemn expression, "This isn't friendly for us Soul Engineers!"
"Her speed is very fast; she only took about five seconds to cross a hundred-meter stage!" Meng Hongchen said, "If we encounter her, it will be very troublesome!"
Ma Yingjun staggered off the stage and returned to Yunluo Academy. The captain of Yunluo Academy had a very grim expression. He had thought that the members of Shrek Academy would be strong, but he hadn't expected them to be this strong. An agility-attack system Spirit King—how were they supposed to fight her?
"Shang Yue, you're up!" He finally made a decision and sent out a female student.
This female student named Shang Yue also possessed a pair of long legs, and standing opposite Jiang Nannan, she would make people can't help but take a few extra glances.
Shang Yue's fighting style was completely different from Ma Yingjun's earlier; she was a close-combat Soul Engineer. Behind her were two long blades. She chose to attack proactively, rushing forward, reaching behind her with both hands, and taking down the long blades. Dividing her hands left and right, the two four-foot-long greatswords immediately glowed with an intense white incandescent light, bringing forth two three-foot-long blade auras that went straight for Jiang Nannan.
At the same time, her Spirit was released, with a spirit ring configuration of three yellow and one purple, which was not particularly outstanding. Her figure became a few points taller after her Spirit attached, her eyes turned crystal yellow, her lips protruded slightly, and canine teeth were faintly visible. Clearly, she possessed a canine Spirit.
Facing Shang Yue's proactive attack, Jiang Nannan smiled slightly, then directly met her. Her speed was more than a notch faster than Shang Yue's, and she instantly appeared before Shang Yue. Seeing this, Shang Yue immediately swung her long blades at her. Jiang Nannan leaped up, performing a beautiful backflip, and directly jumped behind Shang Yue. In the interval of Shang Yue's blade swing, she activated her second Spirit Ability again.
Once caught by Jiang Nannan's Silver Moon Sky Flash, it was virtually impossible to break free unless one's cultivation realm surpassed hers. In terror, Shang Yue was carried into the air by Jiang Nannan, then experienced the same treatment as Ma Yingjun.
The outcome was already obvious: Shang Yue lost her combat ability, and Jiang Nannan won the second match.
Yunluo Academy's morale immediately plummeted after Shang Yue's defeat. Their captain could no longer sit still and chose to enter the arena himself.
He stood before Jiang Nannan, his face heavy with a hint of respect, and said, "Situ Yu, Yunluo Advanced Soul Engineer Academy!"
"Jiang Nannan, Shrek Academy!" Jiang Nannan was momentarily stunned, then immediately replied.
"You are very powerful, but our Yunluo Academy also has its dignity. Rather than losing in an ugly manner, it's better to choose a dignified defeat," Situ Yu said. "If you can defeat me, then we will concede the remaining matches and no longer humiliate ourselves."
"Alright!" Hearing this, Jiang Nannan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. She had been hoping to achieve a one-versus-seven sweep today; it seemed it wouldn't be completed.
"Both sides step back!" The referee also realized the seriousness of the situation and shouted with a solemn expression. After Jiang Nannan and Situ Yu had both retreated, he loudly announced again, "Match start!"
Situ Yu's body shook, and in just a blink of an eye, his entire being transformed into a turret, covered from head to toe in spirit tool armor and turrets of various sizes. Compared to the previous Ma Yingjun, Situ Yu's proficiency was undoubtedly higher, and he was more powerful.
Seeing Situ Yu transformed into a turret, Jiang Nannan couldn't help but show a trace of distress on her face. It seemed her second Spirit Ability couldn't be used. This guy had wrapped his body tightly. If she didn't first dismantle the spirit tools on his body, Jiang Nannan would simply be unable to grab him, and naturally, she wouldn't be able to use her second Spirit Ability.
Four spirit rings floated out from behind Situ Yu, flickering alternately. Countless white orbs of light erupted almost instantly, each orb the size of an egg, sweeping towards Jiang Nannan like a torrent of light bullets.
Jiang Nannan watched the incoming cannon fire. Her fourth Spirit Ability was instantly released, her body shimmering with a silvery glow. The next second, she passed through the barrage of light orbs and appeared in the open space directly in front of Situ Yu. Then, she raised her left leg, making a kicking motion. Her left calf glowed purple, and then Jiang Nannan kicked out fiercely. A purple orb of light instantly shot out, spinning rapidly in the air, transforming into a giant python with a gaping maw.
Seeing the giant python approaching, Situ Yu immediately spewed out an even greater number of cannonballs, attempting to block it. The cannonballs collided with the giant python, one after another, but the purple giant python's speed did not decrease. It directly annihilated the cannonballs it came into contact with, and then crashed into Situ Yu.
The purple giant python swallowed Situ Yu. Approximately one second later, Situ Yu reappeared, but he was already in a sorry state, his spirit tools tattered and unable to sustain the fight any longer. The outcome of this match was already clear.
Violet Evil Demonic Spirit Left Leg Bone, Demonic Python Evil God Bullet!
Situ Yu's face was grim, but he honored his bet and said, "I lost. Yunluo Academy, we surrender!"
Hearing this, the referee immediately announced, "Shrek Academy, wins!"
The sound spread throughout the arena via the loudspeaker, and the entire venue immediately erupted in the most enthusiastic cheers, "Valkyrie! Valkyrie! Valkyrie!"
With today's three matches, Jiang Nannan had truly solidified her reputation as the Valkyrie.
"This Jiang Nannan is a formidable opponent!" In the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy's resting area, Ma Rulong said with a solemn expression, "Using a turret fighting style against an agility-attack system Spirit Master is utterly foolish!"
