85: One slash! Shattering space.

A bitter, sour, and fishy smell emerged, as if it were a mixture of all the unpleasant odors in the world!

Strangely, after Consultant swallowed the potion, all the pores on his body seemed to open up.

He could perceive every sound in the entire competition venue, every movement of Li Yi, and even the flow of blood within his own body.

At the same time, the system's voice appeared beside Consultant's ear again.

[You have gained a special status.]

[Special Status: Experimental Subject of Zuo Dao.]

[Effect: The next attack will consume all Stamina, Mana, and Spirit!]

“...”

Consultant looked at the effect description, and cold sweat immediately broke out on his forehead.

He had thought this potion was just like any other medicine, used for enhancement.

But after swallowing this potion, he had no way out.

“Tsk!”

Consultant clicked his tongue. In fact, his possessed form only had a few seconds left anyway; regardless, he only had the chance for one final move.

He raised his left arm. A golden light flashed, and sacred power descended upon him.

“The Determination of the Knight Serving the King!”

Consultant utilized every method he had, all for this single upcoming strike!

Li Yi seemed to have discerned Consultant's intentions.

He grinned, clashed his twin hammers together, and the powers of lightning and magma erupted once more.

Consultant completely ignored the threat before him, focusing solely on accumulating power.

Driven by the potion, the magic power within his body was rapidly drained and poured into the blade.

The rapid loss of magic power even made Consultant's vision blur, but he gritted his teeth and held on.

“The final strike!”

Consultant squeezed out all the remaining strength and magic power in his body and swiftly drew his blade!

It was still Crescent Moon Shadow, but this time, the blade directly shattered space!

In an instant, the entire competition venue shook, and even space itself began to collapse!

A powerful suction force pulled at Li Yi's body, drawing him closer and closer to this crimson blade aura!

This scene far exceeded Li Yi's expectations.

He resisted the gravitational pull as much as possible, but it was all in vain!

Before the blade aura even made contact, it rapidly dissolved the Elemental Armor covering him.

Finally, this unstoppable red blade light rushed toward the defenseless Li Yi!

If this strike landed, there was no doubt Li Yi would perish!

Even Consultant hadn't expected the power of this single strike to be so immense.

But when he tried to pull back, he couldn't stop it.

At this moment, the two Deans presiding over the match outside the arena finally couldn't hold back!

Jiang Cen immediately raised his staff, intending to stop the match.

Jin Teng, standing beside him, was even more decisive.

He waved his hand, and a stream of purple magic power surged directly into the projection, entering the competition venue.

Just as the Crescent Moon Shadow unleashed by Consultant was about to tear Li Yi apart.

The purple magic power quickly enveloped it, and after a moment's pause, it swiftly tore open another spatial rift and sent the blade aura inside!

Seeing this scene, both Consultant and Li Yi were stunned.

The next moment, another stream of blue magic power appeared, wrapped around both their bodies, pulled them out of that space, and returned them to the Academy.

The outcome was obvious!

Jin Teng's expression was displeased. He knew very well that his actions had clearly violated the rules.

But he couldn't just watch his student die here!

Moreover, after that move, he also sensed the terrifying nature of Consultant's strike.

Even with Jin Teng's strength, dispelling the momentum of that strike was extremely difficult; he could only tear open space and send it into the void.

“Dean Jiang, it seems your student has a promising future!”

Jin Teng was undoubtedly complimenting him. Facing Consultant's extremely powerful move, even his tone contained less malice and more respect.

This statement caused the students present to erupt in cheers.

“We won!”

“We are the champions, oh!”

“Consultant is amazing! He even convinced Jin Teng!”

The cheers gave Consultant a headache.

After exiting the competition venue, he didn't say a word, sitting on the ground and rubbing his head.

The power of that strike exceeded his imagination, but the consumption was equally immense.

Crescent Moon Shadow originally consumed a large amount of magic power, and coupled with the experimental potion Zuo Dao gave him, this single strike nearly exhausted him to death.

Now he couldn't even stand up. The Slime's possession had also been released, and it was lying slumped beside him, looking equally exhausted.

In contrast, Li Yi hadn't suffered any serious injuries, but his face was full of shock.

Everything happened too quickly just now; he hadn't even realized what had occurred.

After being rescued by Jin Teng, he stood dumbfounded for a while before realizing his back was drenched in cold sweat from fear.

Li Yi recalled the terror of facing that strike head-on, and his expression grew increasingly gloomy.

He had thought he was the cream of the crop among his generation, yet he never expected to lose so miserably to a lower-grade student!

Facing that strike, let alone resisting, he didn't even have a chance to escape... But Li Yi quickly accepted his failure.

He walked over to Consultant, extended his hand toward him, and said cordially, “Consultant, you won!”

But at that very moment, another person appeared beside Li Yi.

It was a student wearing a Dragon County school uniform, slinging a satchel full of potions across his body.

He pulled a potion out of the bag and handed it to Consultant: “Brother, how powerful was that potion?”

Li Yi was immediately stunned upon hearing this.

Of course, he had seen the potion Consultant drank before delivering the final strike.

He had initially thought that potion was a trump card given to him by Jiang Cen, but he never expected it to be a potion created by someone his own age!

Consultant took the potion handed to him by Zuo Dao, drank it down, quickly replenished his stamina, and stood up while holding the Slime.

“The effect is good, but the problem is the dosage is too high. It might be better to ease up a bit.”

Although he was somewhat afraid of that potion now, recalling the effect it produced truly astonished Consultant.

If the efficacy of this potion could be slightly reduced, perhaps it could be used as a normal potion... “Got it. I'll refine it later, that's easy.”

Zuo Dao nodded, finished speaking, and glanced sideways at Li Yi.

Because of yesterday's incident, Zuo Dao held no goodwill towards anyone from the opposing academy, and naturally, he didn't give Li Yi a friendly look.

Li Yi felt a bit awkward, unsure how to speak.

Consultant, however, chuckled softly. He could tell that Li Yi had a straightforward character, unlike the other competitors.

Furthermore, since they had won the match, there was no need for him to snub Li Yi.

“You fought well.”

Consultant generously extended his hand toward Li Yi.

“No, you are stronger,”

The two shook hands and separated. Li Yi said, “I hope we get a chance to fight again next time!”

“Well...” Consultant smiled strangely upon hearing this. “Let's forget about that. I suggest you find that guy named Zhu Ming for your next fight.”

“Haha, alright, I'll remember that.”

Li Yi replied and walked back to his team of students.

At this point, Jiang Cen began to announce the results of the competition:

“The three-day student confrontation competition has concluded, and the final result is...”

Jiang Cen looked at Jin Teng beside him, curled his lips, and smiled.

Jin Teng's face darkened again, but looking at the gazes of the people below the stage, he finally sighed:

“The result of this competition ends with a score of two to one. Congratulations to Longjun Awakening Academy!”

Hearing this sentence from Jin Teng's mouth was far more exciting than if Jiang Cen had announced it!

Instantly, the students of the entire Dragon County Academy erupted in excited cheers once more.

Even some spectators from the opposing side couldn't help but express admiration for Consultant's strength in this atmosphere.

But at this moment, Consultant suddenly felt a cold, sinister gaze.
