55: Now, the offense and defense have changed! (Additional chapter 1/2 for Rijiujianshuhuang)

"Hmph!"

Whirlpool roared, and a giant purple Qi vortex appeared beside him.

"Suck it in for me!"

A tremendous suction force emanated from the center of the vortex, uprooting the surrounding reeds, but the Firefly light spots remained motionless.

"Your ability is Whirlpool, not a black hole; you can't suck in light!"

Whirlpool turned and left. Although he knew the area was densely covered with light spots, it was impossible to escape unscathed.

But with so many light spots, avoiding even one was better than nothing.

This thing didn't look like anything good.

"Trying to run? Too late! Art is an explosion!"

Boom, boom, boom...

Hundreds of light spots exploded simultaneously, creating an extremely terrifying chain reaction.

Whirlpool stumbled and rolled away!

The aftershocks of the explosion left some scrapes on his arm. He was injured after just one encounter!

Although he couldn't absorb the light spots, he could still absorb the vibrating aftershocks of the explosion.

"You don't have a chance to breathe right now, Mister Mysterious!"

Song Zhong waved his hand gently, and dense light spots slowly flowed in the night sky.

It was like a miniature Milky Way!

Whirlpool's eyes widened!

What good deeds have I done to deserve this...

Before Whirlpool could finish his complaint, that Flare river rushed towards him!

"Whirlpool Barrier!"

A purple energy barrier protected Whirlpool!

Song Zhong shook his head, "Poor fellow, did he trap himself?"

Clap!

Song Zhong snapped his fingers, and countless more light spots appeared around Whirlpool.

"Let me see how long you can last!"

Whirlpool, inside the barrier, really wanted to curse.

Didn't they say there was only one God's Proxy and three extremely high-risk Forbidden Territories?

Then what was this guy in front of him?

This was definitely extremely high-risk, alright!

And, the number of light spots you're creating, are you sure this is Zhan Realm?

Boom, boom, boom!

As the explosions continued, Song Zhong felt his emotions rising.

"How long can your barrier last, Whirlpool?"

Crack!

A crack appeared on the purple barrier, followed by the complete shattering of the barrier.

Whirlpool made a Breakthrough to the side, simultaneously absorbing the explosion's aftershocks.

The explosion's aftershocks lasted for a very short time; even when released using a Qi vortex, it was just a gust of wind.

Whirlpool pondered internally, this guy's ability really counters his Forbidden Territory!

Since his ability was useless, he could only engage in close-quarters combat!

His combat skills were still decent.

Only one minute had passed!

He still had two minutes to deal with this guy.

Whirlpool stood firm and charged towards Song Zhong.

It was a pity he could only suppress his strength to the Zhan Realm now.

Otherwise, directly using the Whirlpool space to teleport behind his opponent would be even more unexpected!

Looking at the charging Whirlpool, Song Zhong let out a wicked laugh, "He's charging directly, how foolish!"

A large number of Flares appeared in front of Whirlpool, but he ignored them.

Whirlpool's purple Qi vortex could absorb some damage, and he also had the Night Watcher's cloak for protection.

Moreover, Whirlpool was gambling that at close range, the opponent couldn't trigger an explosion.

He had defensive measures, but what did the opponent have?

Could it be that he would explode with him, ascend spiralingly, and dance the Michael dance?

Really? I don't believe it!

Boom, boom, boom!

Explosions followed one after another. Whirlpool suppressed the churning sensation of Qi and blood within him and arrived in front of Song Zhong in one step.

Just as he was about to punch, he heard Song Zhong say, "Hello, watch your step!"

Whirlpool looked down and was completely dumbfounded!

Beneath his and Song Zhong's feet was a five-meter-diameter light spot, round and bright!

"Are you crazy?!" Whirlpool shouted!

But he was soon drowned out by the enormous explosion!

The Mask Squad and the new recruits all noticed the commotion.

Balance's eyelids twitched inexplicably. That direction, it seemed to be Whirlpool!

Such an intense battle, Whirlpool shouldn't have lost his head, right?

He should have, he promised us!

Balance gave himself a pep talk and continued forward.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

In the pond of the reed marsh, Whirlpool sat with his back against a rock, covered in mud and water.

He was in pain all over and didn't want to move at all!

Not far away, Song Zhong had returned to normal from his bluish-grey state.

He walked over to Whirlpool.

"Heh heh, your strength is not limited to this. Do you want to unbind yourself and fight another round?"

Whirlpool snorted, "Tch, what kind of person do you take me for? I am Whirlpool of the Mask Squad. Losing means losing. We disdain cheating!"

"Achoo!"

On another timeline, Wang Mian, who was eating in the Training Camp cafeteria, suddenly sneezed.

Whirlpool, who was focused on eating, looked at Wang Mian and asked, "Captain, what's wrong?"

Wang Mian rubbed his nose and said doubtfully, "I don't know, I feel like someone's talking bad about me behind my back!"

...

On the back mountain, Whirlpool, sitting in the puddle, threw his red number plate to Song Zhong.

"You won. Press the switch, and ten points are yours!"

Whirlpool, calm on the surface, was already weeping tears of despair inside.

It's over, it's over, it's over!

This time, he really messed up!

I won't be the only team member who lost their plate, will I?

How will I face anyone when I go back?

He had boasted when he was young and ignorant, only to be slapped in the face immediately.

He didn't expect that not only the new recruits but also he himself wouldn't make it past the first day.

Song Zhong took the red number plate, examined it carefully, but did not press the switch on it.

"Don't you find it boring to quit the game like this, Whirlpool?"

???

For some reason, Whirlpool had a bad feeling. "What do you want to do?"

"Heh heh! I'm just asking you, are you willing to quit the game like this?"

"Of course not!" Whirlpool said, "But I'll honor my bet. Are you going to give me back the number plate?"

Whirlpool noticed that Song Zhong hadn't pressed the switch on it.

That is to say, he wasn't out of the game yet.

Whoosh!

To Whirlpool's shocked eyes, Song Zhong threw the number plate back!

"No, buddy, you really..."

Whirlpool was incredibly excited; he didn't expect Song Zhong to be so accommodating.

But when he saw the number plate in his hand, his expression changed, and his excited heart plummeted to the bottom.

The number plate was white!

"What do you mean by this?"

Whirlpool's voice turned cold.

"Isn't my meaning obvious? Someone from the Mask Squad is out before the first day is over. How embarrassing would that be to spread around? I'm thinking of you all. Heh heh, I'm so kind!"

Song Zhong's smile grew even more bizarre, making Whirlpool a little uncomfortable.

"Uh, buddy, did you make a mistake? I mean, my number plate is red. This white one is yours!" Whirlpool reminded him.

"Heh heh, no mistake, Whirlpool. Haven't you noticed? Now, the offense and defense have switched!"
