32: Chapter 32 One Against Ten, First Signs of Talent
Because the host's microphone was already held in front of Zhou Bai, his voice resounded throughout the entire Magic Cube Martial Arts Arena.
"Good, good, good! I'm willing to call you the craziest Junior College Student. Taking on ten at once, you've really got something..."
"It seems he knows he's bound to lose, so he's just going out with a bang. But it's understandable; after all, he's a Junior College Student, those who know, know..."
"If he prepared well, there might have been a way to break through. Why did he have to choose the method that generates the most hype..."
"This fits my stereotype of a Junior College Student perfectly..."
After a moment of silence, the surrounding spectators began to discuss among themselves, their eyes filled with disappointment as they looked at Zhou Bai.
Of course, many spectators were also filled with admiration. Regardless of the outcome, a Junior College Student challenging ten geniuses from the Battle of the Dawn would gain maximum publicity.
"This Vocational College Kid actually wants to step on our heads to show off. We must teach him a harsh lesson..."
"We'll go all out and resolve this guy instantly. Don't give this Vocational College Kid any chance. If we're even a second too slow, I can imagine how the audience will look at us..."
'Little Vocational College Kid, thinking an S-rank Talent makes him something special. Let's see how we handle you!'
The ten challengers also spoke up one after another, their tones extremely angry.
Although they were the bottom ten of the qualifiers, they had stood out among so many students; how could they not have their own pride?
"Alright, since Student Zhou Bai is so confident, let us enjoy a magnificent one-against-ten battle and see what kind of brilliance Student Zhou Bai can bring us!"
Seeing that the tension between the two sides had reached its peak, the host immediately announced the start of this one-against-ten challenge.
Boom!!!
A moment later, a massive arena rose up in the center of the Magic Cube Martial Arts Arena.
Drones carrying cameras circled above the center of the arena, recording the battle from every angle.
Soon, Zhou Bai and the ten challengers all entered the arena.
"Everyone in position. Challenge match, begin!"
After both sides entered the arena, the host flickered to a position above the stage and shouted passionately.
"Kid, remember this. The one who defeats you is from Bai Guang University..."
As the battle began, a bald youth said coldly.
However, before the boy could finish his sentence, Zhou Bai's figure instantly appeared in front of him.
Zhou Bai condensed his palm into a fist and threw a punch.
"How can he be... so strong!!!!"
Feeling the wind from the punch right by his ear, the bald youth's pupils shrank, and he felt an unprecedented fear.
Bang!!!!
With a violent collision sound, the youth was sent flying by a single punch, crashing directly into the protective force field at the edge of the arena and losing consciousness.
"Not good, this kid has some skill. Let's go together!"
Zhou Bai's sudden outburst made the other challengers' hair stand on end.
They had also defeated thousands of opponents in the qualifiers to reach this stage. With rich combat experience, they immediately reacted, preparing to launch a joint attack on Zhou Bai.
Swish swish swish!!!!
However, while they were fast, Zhou Bai was faster. With only a slight activation of Phantom Sky Travel, his speed reached its limit.
Only a series of afterimages could be seen flashing rapidly across the arena.
Bang bang bang!!!!
In just two short breaths, a series of collisions rang out. The remaining nine challengers were instantly sent flying, crashing into the defensive force field at the edge of the arena and fainting on the spot.
The entire battle, from start to finish, took a total of only three or four seconds.
The host hadn't even had time to start the commentary.
This sudden end to the battle left all the spectators in the Magic Cube Martial Arts Arena stunned.
"The challenge match is over! The winner is Zhou Bai from Azure Bird Academy!"
In the brief silence, the dazed host snapped back to his senses and hurriedly said, "As expected of the only Junior College Student to enter the Battle of the Dawn in a hundred years, truly formidable..."
"Holy crap, awesome! Who says there are no Great Emperors in Vocational Colleges? Zhou Bai is the Vocational College Emperor..."
"I'm willing to call him the strongest Junior College Student. Too amazing, he ended the fight in an instant..."
"Everyone looked down on you, yet you're the one who showed them. Zhou Bai is awesome, Vocational Colleges are awesome..."
"If a Junior College Student's S-rank Talent is this powerful, then the S-ranks of the Top Ten must be out of this world..."
After the host announced Zhou Bai's victory, the entire Magic Cube Martial Arts Arena seemed to be ignited, erupting in enthusiastic cheers.
Clearly, Zhou Bai's strength had exceeded the spectators' expectations.
A Junior College Student had instantly defeated ten top geniuses from lower and upper-tier colleges; who would have dared to imagine that?
"Qing Yao, your ex-boyfriend is so handsome. I'm starting to fall for him a little!"
In the Magic Martial Arts team, Shen Ninger looked at Zhou Bai on the arena, her eyes sparkling.
"It's just defeating some A-rank trash from upper and lower colleges, nothing special!"
Gu Qingyao raised an eyebrow and said indifferently.
"Qing Yao, this ex-boyfriend of yours is actually quite impressive. Although he only defeated some garbage, he was using an S-rank movement technique!"
Shen Ninger changed her usual disdain for Zhou Bai and spoke somewhat seriously.
"An S-rank movement technique? How is that possible!"
Hearing this, Gu Qingyao's pupils shrank, and her hands clenched slightly.
Clearly, her mind was also filled with a thousand thoughts.
"Of course, I wouldn't be mistaken. Have you forgotten my talent?"
Shen Ninger smiled slightly.
Hearing Shen Ninger's words, Gu Qingyao no longer doubted her. Instead, she turned her gaze back to Zhou Bai on the arena.
He still looked the same as she remembered, yet he felt so unfamiliar.
"So what if he learned an S-rank movement technique? It might just be a stroke of luck. In the Battle of the Dawn, just knowing a movement technique is useless; at most, it just makes you better at running. When facing truly elite powerhouses, it won't have a decisive effect..."
After a moment, Gu Qingyao took a deep breath and then spoke slowly.
Although S-rank Martial Skills were difficult to learn, the martial arts world was full of wonders, and there were resources that could assist in the cultivation of martial skills.
In their Magic Martial Arts academy, there were also freshmen who had learned S-rank Martial Skills through auxiliary means.
Even though Zhou Bai had learned an S-rank Martial Skill at a Vocational College, Gu Qingyao didn't think it was that big of a deal.
If it were her facing those ten challengers, she could have also ended the battle just as quickly...
Shen Ninger didn't reply, but looked at Zhou Bai on the stage, lost in thought...
