118: You're right, but this is 5v5!

"What's interesting?"

Everyone looked over, puzzled.

Xing Yingyu, walking at the very end, instantly widened his pupils, looking at Jiang Hao's young and handsome appearance.

He nodded in sudden realization, believing he understood everything.

"Councilor Jiang must have a profound reason for doing this!"

Entering the Arena, the exchange matches first began with the seeded teams from the Four Great Martial Schools.

After that were the duels between ordinary new students.

The battle order was decided by drawing lots.

Fortunately, Shenzhou Martial Arts School drew Sakura Martial School.

Lucas, disappointed, shook hands with the beautiful Vice-Captain of Shengluo Martial School.

Kujo Tetsuya, on the other hand, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Great! First, we'll win against Shenzhou Martial Arts School to warm up.

If we directly run into the Lightbulb Man, we might have to reveal all our trump cards, making the next match difficult!"

Jiang Hao came to the judge's stand, discarded the fancy seat, and took out his Saint-tier reclining chair.

"Councilor Jiang really values his comfort!"

Kitahara Ayane's mouth twitched as she scrutinized the reclining chair, crafted entirely from Saint-tier Materials.

"It's alright. As long as you provide double the Materials, the Yan Family is happy to customize it as you wish."

Double the Materials... Kitahara Ayane silently turned her head, looking at the participants of the first match as they entered the battle pods.

Do you think I don't want to? I don't have the money!

As a support-type Martial Artist, and one who stays on Blue Star for extended periods.

Plus, being thin-skinned, she would also treat injured comrades and colleagues for free when encountering them in the Otherworld.

Her wallet was as flat as her chest.

Unlike her master, who liked to pretend to be a primary school student, she genuinely was that short!

Although a Saint-tier could adjust their body, her master said this physique could attract more fans... "Now both teams are ready!"

"Let's look forward to the wonderful showdown that the Prodigies of Shenzhou Martial Arts School and Sakura Martial School will bring us!"

"At the same time, let us welcome Councilor Jiang, who has come to observe this exchange match, with our warmest applause!"

Applause erupted throughout the venue, and online viewers also sent barrages of messages paying tribute to Your Excellency, the Councilor.

But that wasn't the point. Hearing that familiar voice, Jiang Hao raised an eyebrow.

"Hmm!? Why is this guy here?"

Jiang Hao's indifferent expression almost broke.

Standing in the center of the Arena was none other than the commentator who took money from the Xia Family at the Shenzhou Martial Arts School's freshman ranking competition more than two months ago!

"Councilor Jiang knows him too! This gentleman is one of the most famous commentators on Blue Star Net right now.

He has hosted many Ten Great Martial Arts Schools competitions in Xia Country! He is very good at building atmosphere."

After listening, Jiang Hao looked expressionlessly at the large screen, which had begun its countdown.

You really know how to invite people!

As the countdown reached zero, the audience and host excitedly shouted:

"Battle start!"

This time, the map was a developed ice and snow Secret Realm within Grizzly territory.

A desolate, frozen plain.

The constantly howling cold winds and falling snowflakes would continuously erode a Martial Artist's Yuan Qi!

Shenzhou Martial Arts School's participants this time were Feng Qiluo, Xing Yingyue, plus Xia Pengcheng, Gu Siyuan, and Ye Lingxi.

Yu Xiyao had given up, not wanting to be bullied by the Ranked Individuals.

Yan Yanyi thought that made sense, so he pulled Yu Xiyao to form their own team.

To 'fish fry' in the final ordinary freshman exchange match!

He believed that 'fish frying' might conform to a supreme Law.

Otherwise, how did God Jiang get the title of Fish Fry King?

... "Phew~ This map is too cold! Even my Peak third-tier strength can't withstand it!"

Xia Pengcheng complained incessantly, layers of shields on him proving useless.

Gu Siyuan, who had been squinting, instantly widened his eyes!

"The opponent is playing a 'pig-rearing' strategy! Sister Feng, use a Lightning Spear attack towards the two o'clock direction!"

Due to the Secret Realm's suppression, Feng Qiluo's perception couldn't even reach ten kilometers.

Hearing the Prophet speak, Yuan Qi surged within her.

She flew into mid-air.

She clenched her right hand tightly, slowly pulling it back, and a Wind and Thunder Spear seemed to be pulled from the void.

Ever since she advanced to the fourth-tier, the Wind and Thunder Spear's surface no longer appeared as volatile as before, seemingly just like an ordinary javelin!

Feng Qiluo took a deep breath and threw it fiercely towards the two o'clock direction!

Fifty kilometers away, Kujo Tetsuya continuously urged his teammates to apply buffs to him.

Completely disregarding his teammates, who were shivering from the cold.

Shields, Yuan Qi recovery boosts, temporary mental increases, and various other enhancements were continuously applied to Kujo Tetsuya.

Feeling the surging power within his body.

"The current me is enough to easily encircle and kill a seventh-tier Martial Artist!"

As soon as his words fell, his senses screamed a frantic warning.

"!"

A Wind and Thunder Spear, like a divine punishment, fiercely pierced towards the five people.

"Defend!"

Hundreds of shields and protective spells were cast.

"Boom!"

A terrifying explosion erupted, tearing apart the surrounding earth and frozen, withered trees.

"Cough cough! The opponent has a Martial Artist with a Prophet talent!"

Kujo Tetsuya instantly reacted, because Gu Siyuan was not a Ranked Individual.

He hadn't paid any attention to the information of the other few people before.

Under the Wind and Thunder Spear, which was completely a seventh-tier strike, the shields couldn't last long at all.

None of his teammates had Void Domain either.

Finally, a black shadow appeared on the ground, pulling himself and his teammates down, relying on Shadow Leap to arrive hundreds of meters away.

Outside the Arena, ignoring the cheers and shouts from Sakura Martial School's teachers and students, Jiang Hao yawned boredly.

Fortunately, the Chaos Law blocked his vision, so no one saw him.

To him, these battles were too uninteresting!

If it were him, he would directly fly high into the sky at the start, unleash a full-power slash, and instantly kill everyone!

"Councilor Jiang finds it a bit boring?"

Kitahara Ayane chuckled softly.

"A bit. Kujo Tetsuya's four-protect-one tactic is somewhat novel."

Jiang Hao affirmed, watching the Shadow Master, who was leading four burdens and dodging Feng Qiluo's attacks everywhere.

Hearing Councilor Jiang actually praise her student, Kitahara Ayane's eyes lit up:

"You also think highly of Tetsuya?"

Jiang Hao shook his head faintly and pointed at the screen:

"What do you think 5V5 means?"

The Loli Principal was stunned and quickly turned to look at the live broadcast.

Kujo Tetsuya disdainfully abandoned his four teammates, telling them to scatter and hide, while he went to fight five alone.

After all, although the Wind and Thunder Spear could strike far, under the Secret Realm's suppression, its destructive power to the terrain wasn't that great!

A support-type Martial Artist, if they grasped the timing well, could completely dodge with teleportation spells!

Even if his teammates were gone, he could still fight five alone!

Moreover, the opponents would definitely prioritize attacking him, so he continuously leaped in the direction the attack was coming from.

Sure enough, this abnormally distant attack still steadily fell towards him.

As if trying to stop his advance.

"Hmph! What if you have a Prophet talent? Everything still depends on strength!

Once I get close, I'll let you know what it means to be the King of Shadows!"

The moment he left his teammates.

Gu Siyuan's lips curled up.

He directly synchronized the predicted scene to Xia Pengcheng.

"Leave it to me, watch me Backstab them!"

Xia Pengcheng, carrying his Fangtian Halberd, rushed towards the last hiding place of the four enemies predicted by Gu Siyuan.

Xing Yingyue had already summoned false stars in the sky, preparing a surprise for those playing with shadows.

"Victory is decided!"
