27: In the world of martial arts, speed is the only way to break through defenses.

Downstairs at the dormitory, a group of people were fighting in a chaotic brawl.

The commotion they caused attracted the attention of many senior students, who came out of their dorms to watch the excitement.

"Yo! Aren't those the newcomers? Are they being set up again?"

"Aren't those Hu Wei and Lu Fei? They actually caught a lucky break; I wonder how many points they can earn from this one order."

"Two second-tier seniors are having such a hard time fighting four newcomers? Are they even capable?"

"Exactly, if they can't do it, they should switch out. I can take their place."

"Even though they're newcomers, they're still Second Year Students after all. Don't underestimate them."

"Eh? There are actually two Dual-Element users?"

"And one is Dark Element. Their advantage increases in the dark; those two might just end up failing in an unexpected way!"

"Quick, get your phones out and record this!"

"..."

In the melee, Xiao Yuan and A Xiu were dealing with Hu Wei.

The opponent was a Fire Element Second-Tier Martial Artist. Whether it was strength or experience, he was above them; the two couldn't gain the slightest advantage in the short term.

Fortunately, Xiao Yuan had great strength and was also Earth Element, which countered Fire Element. Combined with A Xiu's eerie movement techniques for sneak attacks that disrupted the opponent's rhythm, Xiao Yuan's pressure was lightened significantly.

On the other side, Fang Bai and Qi Tian were dealing with Lu Fei.

"Hehe! You, a Mid-Stage Second-Tier, aren't all that much!"

Qi Tian spoke cheekily while continuously releasing his Eight-Part Light Wheel.

Lu Fei's expression remained calm. While dodging, he threw a punch wrapped in Lightning Energy, forcefully shattering the opponent's skill!

At that moment, his expression changed slightly, and he leaped up almost instantly.

Simultaneously, he blasted out a burst of Lightning Energy from his hand!

Sizzle!

A scorched patch appeared on the ground, but no figure was seen there.

"I'm over here, Senior!"

Fang Bai's flippant voice rang out. The next second, his figure rushed out from the darkness, lightning already condensed in his hand!

Lu Fei narrowed his eyes and met Fang Bai with the same move.

Boom!

As the two forces collided, Fang Bai's figure was sent flying back, but it quickly vanished into the darkness.

Lu Fei narrowed his eyes. "To think you two are both Dual-Element Awakened. This is getting interesting."

"Senior Lu Fei, I suggest you just admit defeat. You can't win against us."

Qi Tian looked at him smugly.

The corner of Lu Fei's mouth quirked. "I admit you are indeed excellent, but if you want to beat me, you're still too green!"

With that, his speed suddenly surged!

In the blink of an eye, he rushed in front of Qi Tian.

The latter's face changed, thinking 'not good' as he instinctively condensed Alien Energy.

"Too slow!"

Lu Fei had already reached Qi Tian. He pressed his palm lightly against the other's body, and in the next second, Lightning Energy went on a rampage!

"Aaaagh... Ow ow ow!"

Qi Tian screamed miserably, looking as if he were being baptized by high-voltage electricity. His clothes were charred, his long hair turned into an afro, and a puff of black smoke drifted from his mouth as he slumped powerlessly to the ground.

Lu Fei clapped his hands and said with a chuckle, "Combat isn't just about the gap in cultivation realms; it's about experience and speed. Of course, my realm is indeed higher than yours, but in the world of martial arts, only speed is invincible."

"You're... right!"

"Hmm?"

Lu Fei looked down to see Qi Tian baring a set of white teeth, his hands already deathly gripping Lu Fei's calf!

"I want to see... just how... fast you can be!"

Lu Fei frowned. "Truly persistent, but it's just adding to your suffering."

He kicked Qi Tian twice more. Then, just as he was about to kick him away, suddenly—!

A sharp pain came from his leg, and a wave of dizziness hit him.

"Not good!"

Lu Fei thought to himself, but his consciousness had already blurred briefly. The next second... a Combat Blade was held directly against his throat!

At the same time, a ghostly voice sounded from behind: "Senior Lu Fei, you're dead!"

Lu Fei's face stiffened. He looked at Fang Bai, who had appeared behind him, in disbelief. "When did you...?"

"Hehe..."

Qi Tian gave a silly laugh, then sucked in a breath of cold air.

That really freaking hurts!

Fang Bai showed a faint smile. "This is teamwork."

They had cooperated many times in the Alien Space; some small tricks were already subconsciously etched into their genes.

Just now, when Qi Tian grabbed Lu Fei, he had quietly pricked him with a needle. The needle was coated with a toxin that could paralyze a person for a short time!

If Lu Fei and Hu Wei had teamed up to besiege the four of them from the start, they would have likely been defeated in less than a minute.

But the opponents were careless and wanted to duel individually, which gave them an opportunity.

"Senior, you've already been 'killed' by us. Please follow the rules!"

Fang Bai said seriously, but the blade did not move from his neck.

Lu Fei was a bit embarrassed; he hadn't expected to fail so quickly.

A burst of laughter came from upstairs, making his old face turn red.

He had lost a lot of face!

But Lu Fei was also helpless and shrugged. "Fine, you guys win!"

Fang Bai finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you for the lesson."

Lu Fei was about to speak when the fallen Qi Tian suddenly jumped up, a Golden Club in his hand, and quickly struck the back of Lu Fei's head!

Lu Fei's eyes widened, then his vision went black, and he passed out cold.

"Only an opponent who hasn't lost consciousness is no threat!"

Qi Tian said flatly, then high-fived Fang Bai.

Fang Bai glanced at Xiao Yuan and the others who were still in a hard fight and said, "Let's go help!"

"O-fucking-K!"

At this time, Xiao Yuan was being suppressed and beaten by Hu Wei. The former was covered in wounds from the latter's attacks, but because his armor absorbed most of the damage for him, he didn't go down immediately.

"To be able to last this long against me with a First-Tier cultivation, you're not bad."

Hu Wei said indifferently.

Xiao Yuan had also been worked into a real rage, growling, "I want to win! I'm going to beat you!"

"Roar!"

He let out a low growl, and the ground beneath his feet suddenly writhed. The next second, several earth spikes burst through the soil!

Hu Wei reacted quickly, leaping to a safe spot, his eyes narrowing. "He actually broke through?"

He didn't expect this big guy to actually break through in the middle of a battle!

A strong aura erupted from within Xiao Yuan's body. His level had already broken through to the peak of the First-Tier!

He was only one step away from the second tier!

The surrounding earth rapidly surged toward Xiao Yuan, as if wanting to merge with him!

His body also swelled significantly!

Hu Wei's expression turned grave. "Is this really the power of the First-Tier?"

In that moment of distraction, Xiao Yuan had already rushed over!

Hu Wei looked serious and shouted low, "Fire Punch!"

His fist was wrapped in flames as he threw a powerful punch!

His first skill!

Although it was only his first skill, Hu Wei's Alien Energy had reached the mid-stage of the second tier, and its power was at the second-tier level!

There was no fear in Xiao Yuan's eyes, only the madness of a primitive beast, as he raised his fist and struck!

Bang!

With no surprise, Xiao Yuan's figure was sent flying back again, while Hu Wei also retreated seven or eight steps in succession.

Just then, a sense of crisis struck!
