12: Chapter 12 Even my grandma can win.
Jiangcheng Professional University, Arena.
This is the place provided by the school for all Professionals to engage in practical combat sparring.
At this moment, on one of the competition platforms, standing on the left was Li Murou, who looked timid, harmless, and even somewhat cute.
Opposite her stood a black-clad girl with a cold expression, radiating an aura of "keep away" — Sun Lin.
Below the platform, Chen Xi, Lin Feng, Yan Zidong, and others had all retreated to the spectator stands.
This bizarre matchup quickly drew a crowd of onlookers in the arena.
"Huh? Isn't that the intern from the Battle Team management office? I remember she couldn't find a Battle Team because her Professional class was too useless. How did she end up on the arena?"
"The one opposite her... Holy crap! Isn't that the assassin Sun Lin from the Shenfeng Battle Team? This... is this even a fight?"
"Are they crazy? A pure support class fighting a top-tier Battle Team's damage dealer in a PK? Does this match have any suspense or meaning? Isn't Sun Lin guaranteed to win?"
"Look, there are two pretty girls on the stage, and several men standing below... I bet this is probably another cliché drama of two girls fighting over one guy!"
Listening to the whispers and discussions from the surrounding spectator stands, the heart that Lin Feng had been holding in his chest finally settled down completely.
That's right!
Looking at it from the perspective of paper strength, this was completely a one-sided crushing match.
There was absolutely no need for him to worry.
With Sun Lin's strength, how could she possibly lose to a trash support who couldn't even find a Battle Team!?
He looked triumphantly at Chen Xi not far away, and mouthed a silent sneer: "Get ready to reapply for a base room, trash!"
Yan Zidong, who had been silent all the way here, was now sitting quietly beside Lin Feng.
Looking at Li Murou, who seemed somewhat isolated and helpless on the platform, Yan Zidong frowned almost imperceptibly.
For some reason, that Chen Xi, who was clearly just a support who had been kicked out, always gave him a feeling of being confident and having everything under control.
However, in Yan Zidong's view, the result of this battle would definitely be a one-sided crushing by Sun Lin.
Therefore, the purpose of his trip was just to take the opportunity to carefully observe the true strength of these members of the Shenfeng Squad.
If their strength didn't meet his expectations, he would have to quickly look for another team, and as soon as he found a better opportunity, he would immediately pack up and run.
On the platform.
Sun Lin's eyes, sharp like those of a hawk, looked Li Murou up and down, and she took the initiative to speak.
Her voice was the same as her appearance, cold and devoid of any emotion: "There is no grudge between you and me. Standing here today is only for the honor of our respective squads."
"Therefore, on this stage, I will not hold back at all. But after the match ends, I hope you will not take your emotions out of this arena."
Li Murou took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down. She mimicked the other person's manner and nodded: "Same to you."
Ding—!
Just as the two finished speaking, the magic crystal in the center of the platform suddenly lit up, emitting a crisp prompt sound, announcing the official start of the match.
Almost at the same time the prompt sounded, Sun Lin's body moved!
In her hands, two black daggers flickering with a faint light instantly materialized.
She transformed into a black shadow that was almost impossible for the naked eye to capture, rushing toward Li Murou like a ghost.
So fast!
Li Murou's heart tightened suddenly; she had no time to make any offensive reaction.
She could only rely on instinct to quickly summon a brand-new electronic keyboard from her storage space, holding it across her chest and striking a standard defensive pose.
However, Sun Lin's speed was simply too fast.
The second after she assumed the defensive pose, Sun Lin's ghostly figure had already completely disappeared from her field of vision amidst high-speed movement.
On the entire platform, it seemed as if only Li Murou was left.
This... where is she!?
Seeing this, Li Murou was terrified. In her panic, she couldn't care about anything else.
She could only recall the method Chen Xi had taught her and played a melody randomly toward the empty corner of the platform.
"Sorrowful Elegy!"
A string of notes full of sorrow and sluggishness flew out from the electronic keyboard at her fingertips, striking the air at the edge of the platform without causing any ripples.
But the moment the notes flew out, a faint, rippling light like water waves appeared on Li Murou's body.
——【Thorn Echo】, effect triggered!
Watching Li Murou's performance, which was like a headless chicken, Lin Feng on the spectator stand finally couldn't help but let out a cold laugh full of disdain.
This new teammate that Chen Xi found looks even more trashy than he had imagined!
If she can't even find her opponent's position, how can she win?
Fang Yue was also mocking her unscrupulously on the side.
"Hehe, other than this young lady being pretty, this strength... even my grandma could win against her!"
Just then, Sun Lin, who had been hiding in the shadows, looked at Li Murou's stagnant movements, and a trace of doubt flashed in her murderous eyes.
This person... what is she doing?
However, she didn't waste too much time thinking.
After all, the purpose of her battle was to defeat her opponent.
No matter whether the opponent was strong or weak, she would treat it seriously with all her strength.
Sun Lin's gaze became filled with murderous intent again.
She hid in the shadows and looked at Li Murou's figure.
The next second, the corners of Sun Lin's mouth curled up slightly.
Found an opening!
Her figure, as if appearing out of thin air, instantly flashed behind Li Murou.
"Shoulder Lock!"
Sun Lin shouted in a low voice, and the two black daggers carrying biting murderous intent silently stabbed fiercely toward Li Murou's defenseless back shoulders—
In her view, the battle was already over.
However, just at the moment her daggers were about to pierce Li Murou's shoulders.
A formless force, powerful to an unimaginable degree, suddenly rebounded from Li Murou's body.
That force was like a violent shockwave.
Instantly sending Sun Lin, who was thrusting with all her might, flying backward!
