54: Team victory

The Keda team quickly tightened their defenses.

To stop Lin Ye from assaulting the backline, Captain Dugu Xin recalled three flying swords.

Lin Ye stared intently at Dugu Xin, daring him to attack the backline without leaving any flying swords for defense.

And he also rushed to the front to deal with Luo Ji.

Seeing that the threat was removed, Wind and Fire Dual Mages exchanged glances and nodded to each other. Their strongest attack, a terrifying blue fireball, appeared, slowly accumulating power.

Keda saw this and had no choice but to hope for an earlier breakthrough against Chen Ou.

Otherwise, with this seven-meter giant, it was difficult to attack the opponent's backline, and with so many controls and wide-area damage, it was extremely nauseating.

Lin Ye's Breaking Void Fist was fired continuously as if his life depended on it, completely ignoring the flying swords that attacked him from time to time.

With Hidden Dragon Body to dissipate force, he was not afraid of flying sword attacks at all.

As for Zhou Qingge's magic, it couldn't break through Chen Ou, so she couldn't hit him at all.

Luo Ji secretly groaned. Even a large shield was afraid of true damage. Who understood the pain of internal organ injuries?

His shield was completely unable to directly block Lin Ye. Lin Ye had teleportation and loved to launch surprise attacks.

He would also occasionally use Ruyi Strength to cooperate with Chen Ou to control himself.

Although he had multiple layers of protection even without a shield—Holy Light Guard, Dark Light Shield, Silver Armor, Titanium Steel Body—he was completely secure.

But under the penetration of Breaking Void Fist, there was still ten percent of the damage that injured his internal organs.

He was numb, especially since Lin Ye liked to attack the kidneys.

The body's organs—heart and lungs—were well protected by the ribs, and the liver and spleen also had rib protection; the easiest to attack were the kidneys.

Lin Ye had naturally studied this well; this kidney strike was simply too satisfying.

However, the healer was also outrageous; even kidney damage could be healed.

Dugu Xin knew they couldn't drag this out. If the opponent's Wind and Fire Dual Mages continuously unleashed their ultimate moves, their large shields wouldn't be able to withstand it.

He recalled all his flying swords, and a white light shone all over his body. The seven flying swords merged into one giant sword.

Dugu Xin's eyes were also a blank white as he controlled the giant sword to attack Chen Ou.

Chen Ou condensed an earth element shield, but it was easily shattered. Wang Mengmeng's guard was also broken, her armor shattered, and the giant sword left a huge wound on his body.

Good opportunity.

Lin Ye used a long-distance teleportation to rush into Keda's backline.

Aiming at Dugu Xin, he unleashed a full-power Breaking Void Fist.

Ignoring the several layers of shields on Dugu Xin, he caused considerable damage to Dugu Xin.

"We surrender."

When Lin Ye wanted to deliver another blow, the other side had already surrendered.

He felt regret, wishing he could have reduced the opponent's numbers further for the upcoming elimination match.

Both sides stopped fighting.

"Indeed, we still can't defeat you in a team match. See you in the elimination match," Dugu Xin said with a bitter smile.

Their team had long predicted that facing Prosperity in a team match would indeed be difficult; the Wind and Fire Dual Mages were truly formidable.

"Okay, we'll be waiting." Chen Ou dispelled his transformation, returning to two meters three, and wiped off a bloodstain. He was seriously injured, having absorbed so much damage in the early stage and then being heavily wounded by the giant sword.

What terrifying destructive power.

Lin Ye was also secretly alarmed. If that had hit him, he would have been instantly killed.

However, he had teleportation, so Dugu Xin probably wouldn't be so unwise as to try and hit him.

As for attacking Lin Ye's backline, the distance was so far; Weapon Masters belonged to mid-to-close combat range and didn't have the long range of mages.

Both sides exited the arena for a halftime break.

The audience discussed animatedly.

"Prosperity's team combat is really strong, no surprise there. Let's see if Keda can turn the tables in the upcoming elimination match."

"Lin Ye is getting stronger and stronger; he instantly killed an assassin with multiple shields."

"Am I the only one who cares about the Protector? The Protector is really tanky."

......

The elimination match began.

Since Chen Ou was injured and still receiving treatment, Lin Ye entered the arena.

His opponent was the Protector Luo Ji.

Ye Qiqi was a healer, so she definitely wouldn't participate in a 1v1. Dugu Xin was injured, and the remaining ordinary team members would just be easy targets.

So only Luo Ji could enter the arena.

Luo Ji had a headache. He had already experienced this kid's sneakiness, and now his kidney was still throbbing faintly.

However, he didn't enter the arena unprepared.

He wore heavy armor, specifically switching to anti-penetration armor.

Their coach's prediction was correct; it was indeed Lin Ye against him.

Lin Ye stretched his gloved hands.

The opposing coach had predicted his appearance, and his own coach had also predicted Luo Ji.

But he wasn't flustered at all. Anti-penetration armor did counter his Breaking Void Fist, but he didn't plan to win this match by relying on true damage.

Luo Ji, huh? Let me show you what a true man is.

The match began.

The two approached each other.

Luo Ji changed his weapons to two small shields; the large shield was too clumsy and easily exploited by Lin Ye.

Lin Ye didn't care about his weapon change.

He continuously unleashed Cannon Fist.

Luo Ji was delighted, as he was least afraid of attacks without penetration.

Thump, thump, thump.

Continuous striking sounds appeared on the field.

The Protector was indeed too tanky, truly worthy of being the strongest shield.

Lin Ye verified it; he was indeed tanky.

However, his output was genuinely low. Luo Ji's shield bash and reflect damage had no effect on him at all.

Alright, let's just slowly wear him down.

For a full hour, the two continued to clash.

"How long has it been? How long have they been fighting?" a spectator asked, looking bewildered.

"I've already gone to the bathroom twice."

"These two are really tenacious."

"The Protector is understandable, he's naturally tenacious, but what's wrong with Lin Ye? Is a Martial Artist that tenacious?"

"Isn't his fourth ability a space-type ability? How is his Star Power so abundant?"

"Stalemate confirmed."

"No, Lin Ye has a big problem. His fourth ability is definitely not a space-type ability."

......

Many people in the audience realized the issue with Lin Ye's ability.

But with their information channels, they couldn't explain it.

However, the higher-ups of various clubs were different.

"His fourth ability is Gas Source Flow. The Education Bureau has a record. I had a friend on the inside check it for me."

"This Lin Ye definitely absorbed a Star Spirit, and it's a Star Spirit that awakened space ability."

"A Star Spirit, and such a top-tier Star Spirit that awakened a special skill! How could Prosperity be willing to give it up?"

"I sent someone to check, and the Star Spirit he obtained was an ordinary Star Spirit. It should have awakened later."

"Yes, this Star Spirit was obtained by the Xu Family, and it was just an ordinary Star Spirit. This kid is really lucky; the Star Spirit actually awakened a skill."

......

News of Lin Ye's Star Spirit could no longer be kept secret among the upper echelons.

But since Lin Ye intended to expose his terrifying endurance, he had no intention of hiding it.

His information was easy to verify. Whether it was the Education Bureau absorbing Gas Source Flow or the Xu Family obtaining the Star Spirit, there were witnesses.

It was very simple for those higher-ups to find out.

Before, he could hide it because he hadn't exposed himself or attracted attention. Once exposed, the other party could easily trace it back.

But it didn't matter, after all, Xia Country was very safe, and there was only a certain danger in the Star Realm.

But he was a professional player, so how could he go to the Star Realm to take risks?

Moreover, once a Star Spirit is Contracted, it cannot be released.

Even if there were envious people who couldn't stand his success and wanted to kill his Star Spirit, they would have to see if they had the strength. A novice with Space Control, plus the Star Spirit's innate perception talent, would be excellent at escaping.
