Astral Apostle

At this moment, Ding Qiu had a look of frankness and sorrow on his face. Under everyone’s gaze, he said in a deep voice,

“I’ll attack Li Xiaoyin and use my explosives to resist her shock waves. I’ll injure her at all costs. Because my weakness is obvious, it’s very likely that she’ll give up on the long-range attack and come close to me. This is my chance — I’ll detonate at close range and both of us will suffer heavy losses, preventing her from participating in the subsequent competitions!”

“It’s too risky…” Li Yun was about to refuse sternly.

But Ding Qiu raised his palm in advance to stop him from speaking. His expression was firm.

“With the protective array in the arena, my injuries are limited. With the academy’s healing mentor around, Li Xiaoyin and I won’t have any side effects… This is the best way to defeat her. No one can eliminate Li Xiaoyin without paying the price…”

“Let’s put this plan on hold and see it tomorrow.”

Deng Yunjie stopped the topic in time.

Seeing this, Zhou Jing swallowed the words he was about to say and shook his head in silence.

At this moment, his phone suddenly lit up. He had received a message.

Zhou Jing picked it up and saw that it was a message from Li Xiaoyin.

[See you in the arena tomorrow. I won’t show mercy!]

Zhou Jing’s lips curled up as he replied.

[Me too.]

......

...

On the last day of the new student competition, the Rising Sun Training Ground was completely packed. The cheers of the Crown and Banner students were deafening.

The two teams arrived at the waiting area and discussed their strategies.

The VIP area was filled with spectators. There were more people than two days ago, and many new faces had come. Their gazes were all gathered on Li Xiaoyin, who was in the Banner faculty. They were basically all here for her.

“This young lady’s superpower is really extraordinary. Our military needs such talent.”

The military representative this time was a senior staff officer, who did not hide his high opinion of Li Xiaoyin.

The Supers Bureau officer chuckled, “Our Supers Bureau also needs such a talent to hold down the fort. We have more experience in training Supers. If she accepts our nurturing, she might be able to become a Rank 6 Super in the future, or even Rank 7.”

“A Super with such clear characteristics should come to the Supers League. Her playing style is especially popular, and her appearance is also very good. We can completely make her famous and even become a universe-level popular player who participates in interplanetary competitions!” The Supers League scout rubbed his hands together excitedly.

People from many organizations expressed that they thought highly of Li Xiaoyin and wanted to extend an olive branch.

Only the officer of the Exploration Bureau was indifferent. Instead, he kept looking at Zhou Jing.

Due to the nature of his work, Zhou Jing, who did not have a strong style, was what the Exploration Bureau needed more.

Time passed minute by minute. Amidst the commotion, the match finally officially began.

Everyone thought that today’s arena competition would be the same as the previous two days. They would first send ordinary contestants to test each other.

However, to everyone’s surprise, Li Xiaoyin was the first to go on stage. As the first contestant of the Banners, she opened the curtains to the arena.

The Banners directly placed their trump card.

They did not hide nor use any tactics. This was an unparalleled confidence!

Under the gazes of everyone, Li Xiaoyin hooked her finger at the shocked Crowns. She laughed loudly, but she was filled with strong confidence.

“Who wants to be the first to be eliminated?”

The same words had different effects when said by different people.

Hearing Tang Liu’s words, everyone laughed.

But… No one present felt that Li Xiaoyin was bragging when she said such words.
