50: Chapter 50 Her skill is freezing time!
"Oh?" Zhao Zixuan raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, a flicker of surprise flashing in his eyes.
Among the First-Year University Students at Jiang University, besides their few factions, who else held such deep enmity toward Chen Xi?
Just as everyone was wondering, "Knock, knock, knock!" the door to the stronghold room was knocked on once more.
Zhou Tianren gestured with his chin toward Qi Huan.
"They're here."
Qi Huan immediately understood and walked over quickly to open the door.
As the door slowly opened, a somewhat gloomy figure walked in.
He was wearing the uniform of the Shenfeng Battle Team. His face looked haggard, and he had dark circles under his eyes, clearly indicating he hadn't slept well for the past few days.
However, his eyes burned with a nearly twisted fire of resentment.
Seeing the person who entered, both Zhao Zixuan and Lin Ya were stunned; they clearly recognized this old acquaintance who ranked ahead of them on the leaderboard.
"Young Master Zhou, hello."
The person walked into the hall without showing much surprise at its luxury; his attention seemed to be entirely elsewhere.
He nodded at Zhou Tianren, his voice hoarse.
Zhou Tianren stood up with a warm smile on his face and gestured toward the newcomer to introduce him to everyone present:
"Everyone, let me introduce someone."
"This is Lin Feng, captain of the Shenfeng Battle Team."
"At the same time..."
The smile at the corners of Zhou Tianren's mouth became playful:
"He is also the... former captain of that trash, Chen Xi!"
"What?!" Hearing this identity, Lei Zhen and Lin Ya both exclaimed in surprise.
Even Zhao Zixuan's gaze instantly became sharp.
Although they knew Chen Xi had been kicked out, they hadn't had time to investigate exactly which team he had come from due to the tight schedule.
They hadn't expected it to be the Shenfeng Battle Team, ranked third in the entire grade!
Lin Feng looked at the three captains before him, who were equally renowned among the First-Year University Students, and pulled his mouth into an ugly smile:
"Tidal Surge, Holy Light, Purple Lightning... I've heard much about you."
"It seems we are all on the same path."
Zhou Tianren scanned the room, his voice filled with a persuasive power:
"That's right."
"Everyone here is an enemy of Chen Xi!"
"Captain Lin Feng is from the old team betrayed by Chen Xi; he knows Chen Xi's skills, weaknesses, and even his personality like the back of his hand!"
"And you all are victims whose bosses were stolen by Chen Xi."
"I am the aggrieved party whose woman was stolen by him."
Zhou Tianren suddenly spread his arms, his expression ferocious and fanatical:
"The five of us represent the top five battle teams among all the First-Year University Students!"
"With a lineup like this, we could even challenge the seniors in their second year!"
"In the Freshman Challenge Tournament two days from now..."
"We are going to weave an inescapable net!"
"Regardless of that bullshit Nirvana, or that Chen Xi..."
"As long as they enter the arena."
"I will leave him with nowhere to run and nowhere to hide!!"
Looking at these allies who also hated Chen Xi to the bone, Lin Feng, who had just sat down, curled his lips into a gloating sneer:
"Well, well, I really didn't expect this."
"This Chen Xi doesn't have much ability, but his talent for causing trouble is top-notch. He's established his battle team for less than a month, and he's already offended every single team in the top ten of our freshman leaderboard! What a talent!"
Hearing this, Lin Ya's face instantly darkened.
She clenched her fists tightly and said through gritted teeth:
"There's no helping it; some people are just born low-life trash! Even though he's bottom-tier garbage with no background and no strength, he insists on acting holier-than-thou and stealing other people's things! If you don't stomp someone like that into the ground, he'll never know his place!"
Zhou Tianren lazily scanned the group and continued:
"Now that everyone is here, we can properly discuss how to deal with this Nirvana team during the Freshman Challenge Tournament in two days."
At this point, Zhou Tianren's eyes suddenly became sharp, and his voice dropped a few octaves:
"Of course, I have one prerequisite that I must state upfront."
"No matter how you fight, no matter how you cripple that Chen Xi, you must absolutely not harm Xiao Xiao."
"She is mine, and if anyone dares to harm a single hair on her head..."
Zhou Tianren slammed the wine glass in his hand down:
"Don't blame me for turning hostile."
Everyone felt a shiver in their hearts and nodded in agreement.
"Rest assured, Young Master Zhou." Zhao Zixuan pushed up his glasses and smiled to smooth things over:
"Our target is only Chen Xi. As for the school beauty Su, we will gently ask her to exit the game."
"Alright, Lin Feng, talk about the important stuff." Zhou Tianren gestured with his chin.
Lin Feng took a deep breath, seemingly recalling the days when Chen Xi was in his team, his face showing an expression of extreme disdain:
"Actually, there's not much to say."
"This Chen Xi was originally just a trash Card Maker in our team. To put it nicely, it's a hidden profession; to put it bluntly, he's just garbage who only knows how to make a few cards."
"He couldn't heal, couldn't shield, and didn't even have any control abilities. The so-called support cards he used to throw at us were just him standing in the very back, tossing a few cards to give us some negligible buffs."
The more Lin Feng spoke, the more animated he became, as if disparaging Chen Xi could prove the brilliance of his decision to kick him out:
"It was precisely because he was so useless and seriously dragged down the progress of our Shenfeng Battle Team that we unanimously decided to kick him out of the team."
"Who would have thought that after being kicked out, this kid somehow got lucky and actually went off to establish some Nirvana team."
"Enough, I'm not interested in his rise to fame." Zhou Tianren impatiently interrupted Lin Feng's rambling:
"Get to the point! What exactly are his skills? And what is the ability of that other girl in his team?"
Hearing Zhou Tianren ask about this, Zhao Zixuan, Lei Zhen, and Lin Ya, who were present, all subconsciously turned their eyes toward Lin Feng.
This was also the point that confused them the most.
How could a crippled team of only three people manage to kill a Nightmare-level BOSS in ten minutes?
Lin Feng sneered and spread his hands:
"What kind of skills could that trash Chen Xi have? He just got lucky and recruited some powerful, perverted support from who knows what nook or cranny."
"Perverted support?" A flicker of curiosity flashed in Zhao Zixuan's eyes:
"What do you mean?"
Recalling the bizarre scene in the arena that day where his own team member, Sun Lin, was frozen in place and unable to move, a flicker of dread flashed in Lin Feng's eyes, but it was quickly covered by jealousy:
"That Li Murou... she's a musician. Her skill is incredibly disgusting; she can... freeze time!"
"What?!!"
