Lv Cheng saw everyone's expectations falling on him, and he scratched his head.
"I'll do my best to try."
He wasn't confident either, after all, a pretty girl using psychic superpowers would surely destroy a single guy like him.
"So it's you and me fighting next?"
The girl asked with a slight smile, her emerald green eyes sparkling.
Lv Cheng instantly felt at ease and straightened his chest.
"That's right."
As the two conversed with the help of a translator, the referee announced the start of the battle.
Learning from previous lessons, Lv Cheng immediately wrote a calming talisman and firmly pressed it against his body.
The girl's eyes narrowed slightly, wondering what use sticking a piece of paper to oneself could have.
"Special-type superpower, a bit troublesome..."
"I probed earlier, this arrogant man's strength is between C-level and B-level, not even B-level, no need to worry."
"Alright, sister."
The girl aimed her psychic power at Lv Cheng, and the moment she released it, she saw Lv Cheng charging straight at her.
Lv Cheng tore off a piece from his notepad, holding it between his index and middle fingers while muttering, "Five Thunder Talisman!"
"Boom—"
The paper slip lit up with a faint glow, transforming into five lightning bolts that flashed across the battle platform.
The girl's smile gradually faded.
You weren't like this earlier...
Lv Cheng's quick action caught her by surprise, but she quickly adjusted her mindset, awkwardly avoiding the Five Thunder Talisman's attack and rolling on the ground.
"Attack directly, don't conserve energy."
Seeing Lv Cheng using the advantage brought by the Five Thunder Talisman to get closer, an invisible wave spread from her body...
The girl gracefully stood up from the ground, her fair hand brushing off the dust from rolling earlier.
She had released a powerful psychic shock. At their distance, even if that arrogant man didn't faint, he should at least experience mental shock and dizziness.
"Watch out!"
A fist as big as a sandbag extended towards her, striking her face hard, then another fist holding a rough paper slip jabbed at her soft abdomen.
"Earth Prison Talisman!"
A pair of hands extended from her abdomen area, crossing to block the fist's attack...
Huh?
How did hands grow from her stomach?
This completely confused Lv Cheng.
In his moment of bewilderment, the girl didn't miss the opportunity, using a jiu-jitsu chokehold to control Lv Cheng and release a close-range psychic shock.
Subsequently, a dizzy Lv Cheng was thrown off the platform, landing heavily on the ground.
...
In the VIP box,
Yu An immediately noticed something was off and turned to question, "How can there be two people fighting on one side? Her twin sister is possessing her body, this is two against one."
"It's one-on-one, this isn't her sister, it's herself," Smith replied, prepared for his questioning. He continued calmly, "You should know that some unfortunate people in the world have two brains growing in one body, mistakenly thinking there are two people inside them, leading to split personalities."
Talking about conjoined twins so euphemistically, isn't it just not wanting to admit it's two people?
They could lose, but the opponent cheating was another matter. Can't they play fair?
Moreover, they had directly challenged all Jidu University students to the arena in the form of a dojo challenge. If word got out, wouldn't it mean all Jidu University students were useless?
Yu An pointed it out directly.
"It's still one body, but just now it was clearly two people."
Smith shook his head, "This is a superpower, she separated her split mental entity. You can't discriminate against her because of her misfortune."
Damn it, Yu An really wanted to curse out loud.
But he forcibly held back.
Even if Smith was sophistry, he was still dancing within the rules.
He couldn't find a reason to refute.
Fine, he didn't believe they couldn't find someone in all of Jidu who could deal with the two of them.
He gave Su Ke a look.
Su Ke understood and quietly slipped out of the VIP box.
Her actions were caught by Smith, but he didn't say anything.
...
In the hallway outside the archives room,
"...That's how the situation stands."
Su Ke, out of breath, explained the situation to Qi Yuan.
The middle-aged woman with a low bun hairstyle, whom Qi Yuan had seen at the Sakura Island Conference earlier, was also present. She added, "I didn't have anyone to recommend, so I asked her to find you."
"I remember you have two students from Shen City University in your team, right? How's their strength?"
"Not bad, but it would be quite difficult for them to win."
Qi Yuan said frankly, "If you allow him to use some tricks, then it won't be a problem."
The middle-aged woman with the low bun smiled, "As long as it's not discovered, what counts as cheating? They're also twisting words to suit themselves."
"Then let's go, I'll come along to take a look too."
"That's no problem. By the way, I don't think I've introduced myself to you. I have a good relationship with your aunt, you can call me Auntie Cai or Director Cai."
...
The three of them arrived at the training hall together, on their way to the VIP box.
Looking around, students were sprawled all over the place, all frowning with uncomfortable expressions.
Another one was being carried off the platform, and the girl on the stage was starting to look impatient.
"I'll go!"
A student stood up, his gaze determined, head held high.
He knew he was no match for this girl, but he wanted to consume some of her energy and superpower, to give the school team a slight advantage when they went up.
These exchange students from Bitfo Country had arrogantly said they would give all Jidu University students a chance, so they had to win this match by any means necessary.
Everyone around him looked at him with admiration.
Carrying the spirit of a hero going on a one-way mission, he walked towards the stage.
Several students clenched their fists, wanting to stand up but firmly held down by those around them.
"Wait a bit longer, she still has several more contestants after this, now is not the time to act on impulse."
"That's right, don't let the sacrifices of those before be in vain."
Just as they thought the next sacrifice was about to occur, a voice rang out in the arena.
"I'd like to exchange some pointers too."
Everyone turned to look at the source of the voice. A mysteriously dressed young man stood there, exuding an aura of a boss character.
Damn, who is this guy?
He's so good at showing off!
Qi Yuan covered his eyes when he saw Gao Changze wearing what was claimed to be the Reincarnation Squad uniform.
Damn it, burn those clothes when we get back.
"Ha... ahem..." Director Cai could barely contain her laughter and cleared her throat before speaking seriously, "Your subordinate being so lively is a bit unexpected."
Qi Yuan hurriedly distanced himself, "He's not really my subordinate."
"Mm-hmm."
The middle-aged woman nodded as if in agreement, "I'm not saying he's bad, he's quite energetic. Old Yu and I, being older, like young people like this."
You didn't believe he's not my subordinate at all, did you?
Qi Yuan didn't bother explaining further, as it would make him seem defensive.
Some responsibilities should be shouldered, otherwise, the more you try to explain, the worse it gets.
He looked towards Gao Changze, who was promoting the superpower agency on stage, but whoever created this mess, he'd deal with them later...
On stage, Gao Changze was fully embracing the principles of a life winner.
Don't be too concerned about face when making money, otherwise you won't make any.
