158: Chapter 158 Battle Against Fengdeng No.1 High School (Part 2)
Qian Duoduo suddenly raised his right arm, and the golden toad carving on the back of his hand opened its mouth.
Three golden coins shot out from the toad's mouth, flying toward Sun Kai's face in a triangular formation—Golden Toad Spitting Treasure.
The coins traced three golden arcs in the air, the sound of them piercing the wind sharp and ear-piercing.
Sun Kai stood his ground without moving.
A stocky boy behind him took a step forward, blocking Sun Kai's front.
The boy was sturdily built with broad shoulders. He crossed his arms in front of his chest as a flash of light flickered over him.
His left arm was covered by a massive blue-black shield armor shaped like a tortoise shell, with serrated protrusions along the edges. A dark green crystal was embedded in the center of the shield, with water-like ripples flowing within it.
His right arm was covered in a layer of dark gray metal gauntlets. The surface had rough rock-like patterns, a thick bone spike protruded from the elbow, and the fist was covered in dense metal bumps.
Both of his legs were simultaneously covered in dark cyan leg guards, each with spikes at the knees.
Lin Fan's left eye scanned him, and information surfaced.

His skills were all focused on defense and damage reflection; he was a textbook defensive Beast Armor Master.
Qian Duoduo clicked his tongue. "His skin is really thick."
The silver-white scales on his left arm lit up as he activated Rock Spike Raid, sending three gray-brown rock spikes flying toward Zhao Tie's face.
Zhao Tie swung his right arm, knocking the rock spikes down, though the impact forced him back a step.
Just then, a sharp whistling sound came from the side.
Qian Duoduo glimpsed a silver-white shadow from the corner of his eye and instinctively leaned to the side.
A silver-white arrow grazed his shoulder and thudded into the arena behind him, its fletching still vibrating.
He turned his head and saw a tall, slender girl standing at the edge of the arena.
Her right hand held a translucent silver-white longbow. The bow's body was condensed from light, and the string was like silk.
Her left arm was covered in a layer of silver-white light armor, with a quiver-like protrusion on the back of her hand containing several arrows condensed from light.
Her right arm had also undergone Armorization, with a layer of silver-white armguards covering her from shoulder to wrist.
Her left eye was covered by a pale gold crystalline film, with a crosshair deep within her pupil.
A pair of translucent arc-shaped wing armor unfolded from her back. The wings were thin as a cicada's wing, with fine feather patterns along the edges and a wingspan of nearly two meters.
All four Armorization parts were of the light attribute, making her look like a silver-white statue.
Lin Fan's left eye scanned her.

Lin Fan was slightly surprised; the Armor Spirits on both of this girl's arms were actually weapon-type Armor Spirits.
As expected, none of the students representing their schools in this competition were simple.
At that moment, Liu Qing tossed her long hair, and vines from the Ink-scale Ghost Vine Flower erupted from the ground, lashing toward Su Qing's legs.
The scale-like patterns on the surface of the vines lit up as Ink-scale Hardening activated, making the vines as tough as steel cables.
Su Qing, who was currently notching an arrow and aiming at Qian Duoduo, felt the movement beneath her feet and instinctively leaped backward.
The vines grazed the tips of her toes, entangling the spot where she had just been standing.
“A sneak attack?”
Su Qing snorted coldly. Her left armguards lit up, and three fluorescent arrows condensed from light rose from the quiver, notched onto the Flowing Light Bow in her right hand—Triple Firefly Shot.
The three arrows were fired simultaneously, flying toward Liu Qing in a triangular formation.
Liu Qing sidestepped to dodge two of the arrows, but the third grazed her shoulder, slicing a hole in her school uniform.
She let out a muffled groan as threads from the Blue-Faced Jorōgumo on her left hand shot out, weaving a fine net in the air that descended toward Su Qing.
Just then, a silver-white figure charged out from the side.
It was a thin boy with a slender build and lean limbs.
He stepped in front of Su Qing and raised his right arm, shooting a silver-white light blade from his palm that sliced Liu Qing's silk net in half.
The light blade's momentum didn't slow as it flew toward Liu Qing's face.
Liu Qing tilted her head to dodge; the light blade grazed her ear, shearing off a few strands of hair.
The light of Armorization began to appear one by one on the boy's body.
His right hand was covered in silver-white armor, with long fingers that extended into five sharp silver-white blade-claws, their tips glinting coldly.
His left arm was covered in a layer of dark purple armguards with snake-scale patterns. A gap opened on the armguard, and a dark purple venomous mist could be seen faintly seeping out.
His legs were covered in silver-gray leg guards; the left had wind patterns while the right had lightning patterns. A silver blade-wing, thin as a cicada's wing, extended from each ankle.
The whole person was like an unsheathed blade, exuding a sharp and fierce aura from head to toe.
Lin Fan's left eye scanned him, and information surfaced.
[Name]: Zhou Yan

Zhou Yan stood in front of Su Qing, his silver-white blade-claws held before his chest as he stared coldly at Liu Qing.
“I am your opponent.”
Liu Qing didn't speak. Silk threads shot from her left hand again, aiming directly for Zhou Yan's ankles.
Zhou Yan's leg guards lit up, and he turned into a silver-white blur, vanishing from his spot.
The threads hit nothing but air.
A second later, Zhou Yan appeared at Liu Qing's side, two silver-white blade-lights slashing toward her waist and abdomen in a cross.
The wings on Liu Qing's back unfolded and flapped violently, sending her soaring into the sky to dodge the strike.
“He's very fast, be careful.”
Lin Fan cautioned.
Liu Qing stabilized herself in the air, and the vines from her right hand lashed down toward Zhou Yan's landing point.
Zhou Yan's ankle was caught by the vines as he landed, but he activated the Lightning Flash skill of his Wind-thunder Falcon leg guards. An electrical arc shot from the sole of his foot, blasting the vines to pieces and allowing him to break free.
The two were locked in combat; Zhou Yan had the speed, while Liu Qing had the crowd control. For a moment, neither could gain the upper hand.
