120: Chapter 12 A Galaxy of Stars! The Final Showdown!

Donghuang First Team won two consecutive matches cleanly and decisively, advancing strongly to the next round and sending shockwaves through the entire training base.

The performances of Lu Chenxin and Chen Ye, especially Lu Chenxin's mid-battle breakthrough and successful challenge against a higher-ranked opponent,

made everyone realize that this team's comprehensive strength and potential far exceeded expectations!

But this didn't mean the other teams lacked highlights.

In the first round of team collaboration training, the other two matchups were equally brilliant—one could even say the stars were out in full force!

Second Match: Kyoto First Team (Wang Zhan's Team) vs. Shuzhong Tang Family Team

Kyoto First Team,

composed of Wang Zhan (S-grade Overlord Fist Soul, Spirit Nurturing Five-Star Peak),

Li Chenyuan (S-grade Slaughter Blade Heart, Spirit Nurturing Five-Star),

Shi Potian (S-grade Lava War Soul, Spirit Nurturing Five-Star),

Man Xian (S-grade Mountain-Shaking Great Hammer, Spirit Nurturing Four-Star),

and Xiao Linger (S-grade Wind-Sighing Spirit Body, Spirit Nurturing Four-Star),

could be called the "Galactic Warship" of this training camp, possessing the strongest strength on paper!

Their opponent, the Shuzhong Tang Family Team, though slightly less famous, had strength that absolutely could not be underestimated!

Captain Tang Zhan (S-grade Absolute-Edge Tang Blade, Spirit Nurturing Five-Star) wielded a Tang blade as fast as lightning, treacherous and ruthless!

Team members included Tang Ying (A+ grade Shadow Dagger Heart, Spirit Nurturing Four-Star, Assassin-type),

Tang Lie (A+ grade Bursting Crossbow Soul, Spirit Nurturing Four-Star, Long-range Firepower),

Tang Rou (A-grade Thousand-Mechanism Art, Spirit Nurturing Three-Star, Control and Mechanics),

and Tang Lei (A-grade Iron Wall War Soul, Spirit Nurturing Three-Star, Defense)!

A typical Tang family configuration, with seamless cooperation and diverse methods!

On the arena stage, the battle reached a fever pitch from the very beginning!

In the first single-player match, Wang Zhan personally took the field against Tang Zhan!

Wang Zhan was like a humanoid tyrannosaur. Activating his [Overlord Fist Soul], his blood and qi were like a furnace, and his fist intent dominated the heavens!

Every punch carried terrifying power that crushed everything! [Overlord Fist: Mountain Collapse]!

Tang Zhan, meanwhile, was like a venomous snake in the dark night. His [Shadowless Tang Blade] appeared and disappeared unpredictably, his blade light like silk, specializing in attacking vital points with eerie and elusive movement!

[Shadowless Blade: Instant Kill]!

One was hard and the other soft, one forceful and the other skillful; the two fought to a stalemate!

Wang Zhan had overwhelming strength, but Tang Zhan's blade techniques were exquisite, always allowing him to break force with skill and avoid the brunt of the attacks!

The battle lasted for nearly ten minutes. Finally, relying on his more robust blood and qi and domineering fist intent,

Wang Zhan tanked a tricky side-slash from Tang Zhan and shattered Tang Zhan's protective blade aura with a single punch, blasting him off the stage! A narrow victory!

In the second match, Kyoto First Team sent out Li Chenyuan, and the Shuzhong Tang Family Team sent out Tang Ying!

Li Chenyuan's [Slaughter Blade Heart] was brimming with killing intent. His blade techniques were wide and sweeping, filled with the tragic aura of a bloody battlefield!

[Slaughter Blade Technique: Eight Directions of Bloody Battle]! Tang Ying, on the other hand, was the ultimate assassin, moving like a ghost with daggers specializing in joints, the throat, and other fatal weaknesses!

[Shadow Assassination]!

This battle was even more perilous. Li Chenyuan traded injuries for kills, relying on stronger defense and a violent blade style that substituted offense for defense.

Ultimately, he sent Tang Ying's dagger flying with a single strike and defeated him! Kyoto First Team took another point!

Kyoto First Team won two consecutive matches and advanced directly! They showcased their formidable individual strength!

Third Match: Southwest University Team (Ghost Seven's Team) vs. Northern Border University Team (Man Shan's Team)

This match was also full of highlights!

The Shadow Academy Team was led by Captain Ghost Seven (A+ grade Nether Ghost Shadow, Spirit Nurturing Four-Star Peak), who was elusive and attacked eerily!

The team members were all experts in assassination, infiltration, and ambushes, with a style that was sinister and hard to guard against.

The Northern Border University Team was led by Captain Man Shan (S-grade Earth-Shaking Colossus, Spirit Nurturing Four-Star Peak), who possessed terrifying strength and super-strong defense!

The team members were also strength or defense types, with a fierce and domineering style!

This was a classic duel of spear vs. shield, of the unorthodox vs. the upright!

In the first match, Ghost Seven personally took the stage against a defensive member of the Northern Border Team (A-grade Rock Armor Guardian, Spirit Nurturing Three-Star).

Ghost Seven pushed the Way of Shadows to its limit, his entire being seemingly merging into the shadows.

He launched continuous attacks from unbelievable angles. The defensive member had powerful defense,

but couldn't even touch the hem of Ghost Seven's clothes. Eventually, his protective Yuan Qi was ground away bit by bit, and he had to accept defeat!

Ghost Seven displayed an extremely troublesome assassin style!

In the second match, Northern Border Team's Captain Man Shan couldn't sit still and took the field personally!

He was up against a member of the Shadow Team who specialized in poisons and illusions (A-grade Illusionary Poison Spider Heart, Spirit Nurturing Three-Star).

Man Shan didn't fall for the illusions at all. His [Earth-Shaking Colossus] constitution gave him extreme resistance to most toxins!

He used raw power to break through the trickery, rolling over the opponent like a tank. With one punch, he dispersed the opponent's poison mist, and with a second, he sent them flying!

A strong comeback to even the score!

The score was tied 1-1! They entered the crucial team battle!

A 5v5 melee!

The Southwest Team used their ghostly movement and coordination to constantly harass and ambush, attempting to split the Northern Border Team's formation.

The Northern Border Team, however, huddled together with Man Shan as the arrowhead, fighting steadily like a monolith and crushing the opposition with powerful frontal impact! The battle was exceptionally fierce!

In the end, Man Shan tanked a fatal blow from Ghost Seven and struck back with a heavy punch that severely wounded him, securing the victory!

Northern Border University Team narrowly won and advanced!

The three brilliant duels left all the spectators shouting in excitement!

Wang Zhan's dominance, Li Chenyuan's tragic intensity, Tang Zhan's treachery, Ghost Seven's sinisterness, Man Shan's ferocity...

Geniuses from all walks of life showed off their skills, displaying the strength and style of the younger generation's top level!

With this, the first round of team collaboration training was completely over!

The three teams advancing to the second round were:

Donghuang First Team (Zhou Heng's Team): Advanced cleanly through tactics and precise member selection.

Kyoto First Team (Wang Zhan's Team): Advanced with strong individual strength and overwhelming dominance.

Northern Border University Team (Man Shan's Team): Advanced with a narrow victory through team resilience and core explosive power.

Modu First Team, Shuzhong Tang Family Team, and Shadow Academy Team unfortunately stopped at the first round.

deputy director Lu Mingyu stood on the high platform, his gaze sweeping over the three advancing teams.

He said in a deep voice, "The first round is over! Advancing teams, rest for half an hour! In half an hour, we will conduct the second round of drawing and matches! Rules remain unchanged!"

The plaza immediately became busy.

The advancing teams took the time to recover and summarize their tactics.

The eliminated teams had complex emotions—some were unwilling, others were reflective.

The five members of Donghuang First Team gathered together.

Bai Qianer waved her small hands, and gentle healing light butterflies merged into Lu Chenxin and Chen Ye's bodies, helping them recover from exhaustion and minor injuries.

The effect of [Spirit Butterfly Blessing] was excellent, and the two's pale faces soon regained their color.

"Qianer, your healing technique is amazing!" Zhou Heng praised sincerely. With Bai Qianer, the team's sustained combat capability was greatly improved.

Bai Qianer's face turned slightly red as she lowered her head bashfully. "No... it's nothing. Brother Zhou Heng and the rest of you are the ones who are truly impressive!"

Ji Cang, holding his blade, said solemnly, "The Kyoto team is very strong. That Wang Zhan has terrifying strength."

Lu Chenxin wiped his ancient sword, his eyes sharp. "Li Chenyuan's blade has a very heavy killing intent; he's a practical fighter."

Chen Ye was concise: "Northern Border team, brute force, but their coordination is good."

Zhou Heng nodded and analyzed, "Wang Zhan's team has outstanding individual abilities, but their team coordination might not be as seamless as ours. The Northern Border team's style is countered by us; our speed and explosive power are stronger. The key is the next round's opponent and the order of appearance."

Soon, half an hour passed.

Lu Mingyu brought out the drawing box again. "The second round of drawing begins! In this round, one team will receive a bye and advance directly to the final!"

The captains of the three teams stepped forward to draw.

Zhou Heng drew number '2'.

Wang Zhan drew number '1'.

Man Shan drew number '2'.

Lu Mingyu announced, "In the second round, Donghuang First Team will face Northern Border University Team! Kyoto First Team has the bye and advances directly to the final!"

Once the results were out, everyone reacted differently.

The members of Kyoto First Team showed relaxed smiles. A bye meant they could rest and observe their opponents' trump cards.

The Northern Border University Team looked solemn; the strength Donghuang First Team had just displayed made them feel immense pressure.

On Donghuang First Team's side, Zhou Heng grinned. "Perfect. We'll warm up first, then go deal with Wang Zhan and his group!"

Hearing Zhou Heng's words, Man Shan snorted coldly. "Zhou Heng, don't be too arrogant! It's not certain who will be dealing with whom!"

Zhou Heng picked his ear. "Oh my, it seems the sandstorms in the Northern Border are so big they've messed up people's ears. All I can hear is some buzzing."

Man Shan's face flushed with anger, but he couldn't find a way to vent it.

"Second round, first match: Donghuang First Team vs. Northern Border University Team! Prepare to begin!"

The final matchup lineup was about to be revealed!

Could Donghuang First Team defeat the Northern Border team and meet the Kyoto First Team in the final? Everyone was full of anticipation!

The atmosphere in the plaza became tense once again!
