My stats are higher than yours!!

"It's such a shame."

Meanwhile, Bai Shuodong's good friend Jiang Lin finally arrived at the training ground. Looking at Bai Shuodong, who was locked in a fierce battle with Xia Yanxin on the platform, he sighed deeply and said:

"Silly Fu, your grandfather can't save you."

...

A fierce and relentless offensive was launched.

Xia Yanxin's offensive became increasingly fierce. Having stacked her talents to the limit, she had undergone a complete transformation. The two-meter-long giant sword now exhibited an unusual lightness in her hands, and her agility was unbelievable.

Even more terrifying is that the agility combined with the terrifying power of the greatsword itself creates layers upon layers of fierce, piercing sounds, resulting in an incredibly strong direct suppressive force.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!..."

The crisp sound of metal clashing rang out one after another.

With each direct clash, Bai Shuodong could feel a terrifying force slamming into his arm along the hilt of the sword, making his tiger's mouth numb and his shoulder sore and swollen.

monster!

Bai Shuodong thought to himself.

It's important to know that he has a fixed damage reduction of 5% of his maximum health when he's in burst mode!

Even so, it is not possible to be completely immune to the impact of the confrontation! Just the confrontation, just the power transmitted through the sword, has already exceeded the damage reduction limit of 5% of the maximum health!

Is this what a 50% damage increase is?

Is this her numerical value?

monster!

"hu~hu~"

Bai Shuodong's breathing grew heavier, his forehead was covered in fine cold sweat, and his vision trembled slightly from the intense exertion, but the Lion's Eye remained firmly fixed on Xia Yanxin opposite him.

There is only one possibility for victory.

[Lion's Might] is my only trump card. If I use it directly from the start, Xia Yanxin will definitely be on guard. Her overall attributes are higher than mine, and her fighting spirit is also very strong. In the end, she will most likely only reduce all her attributes by 5%, which won't have a significant impact.

so...

It must be used in critical moments!

We must find that opportunity!

"Bang!!"

Bai Shuodong activated [Slow Burst] again, deflecting Xia Yanxin's giant sword with a single blow. A violent sonic boom erupted, but his steps became increasingly chaotic, a sign that his stamina was nearing its limit.

The surrounding students' discussions gradually subsided as they waited for the final result. He had already done quite well to fight Xia Yanxin to this extent.

Teacher Ye, high in the air, also sighed, ready to call a halt and rescue at any moment.

'It's... over.'

...

That was exhilarating!

Xia Yanxin's lips parted in a grin, and large beads of sweat rolled down her forehead. Her wrists had already lost all feeling. After continuously going head-to-head with someone stronger than herself, her condition was not much better.

In other words, her skill level is higher and she has a stronger innate endurance; anyone else would have been beaten to a pulp long ago.

"It's over!"

Xia Yanxin stomped the ground hard, and the giant sword fell in the simplest, most direct, and fastest way.

'opportunity!'

Bai Shuodong's eyes flickered, and in an instant, a fierce glint suddenly flashed in them!

Lion's Might

An invisible pressure suddenly erupted!

[Hint: Your release of Lion's Eye - Lion's Might triggered a spirit realm judgment.]

[Note: Mental assessment successful, Willpower assessment failed. Xia Yanxin has been exempted from the effects of [Fear] and [Shock], but all her attributes are reduced by 12%.]

Xia Yanxin's actions faltered for a moment. Although the Lion's Might had failed to intimidate her, it had still slowed down her offensive and affected her somewhat.

Lion's Might reduced all her attributes, slowing her attacks slightly, and the effect was immediate.

[Slow Explosion]

Bai Shuodong swung his sword, his face filled with the pride and joy of a victor.

Xia Yanxin's fighting spirit is indeed strong, but her mental attributes are weak, and she has also experienced a high-intensity confrontation, which has affected her mental state. Therefore, she is more likely to be judged to be successful when facing Shi Ziwei, which is his opportunity.

The "Spirit Realm Judgment" does not compare numerical values ​​in the game. Instead, it describes the effect in actual combat in the form of a judgment based on the actual situation.

'Idiot.'

The next second, a strange smile suddenly appeared on Xia Yanxin's face.

"bump!"

The weapons clashed again, but Bai Shuodong did not feel the same terrifying power as before, and his expression suddenly changed.

This is a feint!

This guy was holding back just now!

Her skills are even better than I imagined!

Xia Yan wielded the giant sword with agility, and after the initial clash, with the help of Bai Shuodong's power, she danced on the training ground, launching a second attack from another tricky angle.

Oops!

It takes 1 second to recharge after dispelling [Slow Burst], which is not enough time to resist. Without dispelling [Slow Burst], your agility is simply not up to par with her!

What to do? What to do? What to do?

Bai Shuodong gritted his teeth, immediately deactivated the [Slow Burst] state, and blocked at top speed, while his body instinctively began to move forward.

"Clang!!"

A crisp, trembling sound rang out, and Bai Shuodong's training sword instantly slipped from his hand, spinning and crashing onto the arena floor with a clear, resounding thud.

'We got it!'

At that moment, Xia Yanxin was still in the stance of drawing her sword, a wild smile slowly creeping up her lips, her eyes filled with a bright fighting spirit of certain victory.

She was a monster beyond genius, possessing unparalleled combat intuition. In battle, she could clearly sense that Bai Shuodong seemed to be hiding something, ready to be used at any moment.

Therefore, Xia Yanxin held back from the beginning, always prepared to deal with any situation.

She had a firm grasp on the rhythm of the battle from the very beginning, and the thrill of the battle was incredibly enjoyable for her; this was her happiest moment.

The outcome is decided...

Just as she was thinking this, she noticed that Bai Shuodong was lunging at her with his arms outstretched at top speed, seemingly unaffected by the sway from having his weapon knocked away. Xia Yanxin had used all her strength in that move to successfully knock away his weapon, and her weapon was a heavy sword with extremely slow turning speed.

What is this guy doing?

Suddenly, a terrifying thought popped into Xia Yanxin's mind.

He voluntarily gave up his weapon!

The intense confrontation just now affected my feel for the game! It prevented me from noticing anything amiss immediately!

Let me give you a big hug.

Bai Shuodong laughed maniacally.

Chapter Eleven North

Damn it!

Deadly! I command you! Move now!

Xia Yanxin rushed back to defend as fast as she could, but it was too late. The greatsword was already very heavy, and Bai Shuodong hadn't used any force at all, so there was no rebound force to draw upon! It was simply too late!

Bai Shuodong hugged Xia Yanxin!

I gave him a full, complete hug!

At that moment, the entire room fell silent! Countless students' pupils contracted sharply as they stared intently at the spectacle unfolding before them!

"Wait, wait a minute..."

Xia Yanxin made a hurried sound, and the hilt of her sword stabbed Bai Shuodong in the back. Her face showed no shyness when a girl was being hugged, only despair.

Spicy!

Don't come near me!

"hey-hey!"

Bai Shuodong gave a wicked smile.

[Slow Explosion]

strength!

It's gushing out!

An endless supply of Pawa!

Bai Shuodong instantly unleashed his full power, channeling a strength value of 10.6 points into Xia Yanxin in a single instant, flowing completely through his arms and chest to her body.

Xia Yanxin, whose constitution attribute was only 4.1, immediately widened her eyes, as if they might jump out at any moment.

"Crack!"

An excruciating squeezing pain struck, accompanied by the sound of bones cracking, with multiple cracking sounds occurring in a short period of time.

She felt as if her body was being forcibly crushed in a hydraulic press. Her talent for enhancing intuition and feeling the pain of battle, which she originally possessed, now made Xia Yanxin feel the pain of being brutally attacked even more clearly.

"Aww~!!"

Xia Yanxin finally screamed in agony.

But the scream was very short-lived. Because her lungs were forcibly compressed, she was unable to make a complete sound, and the scream was forcibly interrupted.

Soon, her body trembled violently, her pupils dilated, and all her strength seemed to be drained away in an instant. Her tense body suddenly went limp, and she collapsed completely into Bai Shuodong's arms, unconscious.

Before she lost consciousness, Xia Yanxin's last thought was:

Damn it, when you're sparring, you should fight to the death!

Just now!

She held back!

Under normal circumstances, after knocking down a weapon, the greatsword should strike the opponent directly, completely incapacitating them. Because greatswords are inherently heavy, trying to control the force to avoid harming the opponent can easily expose fatal weaknesses.

Having experienced having no opponents to fight, she had already begun to reflect on her own problems. Therefore, in this sparring match, she deliberately held back, hoping to use this opportunity to salvage some of her reputation.

Who would have thought...

He was actually killed because of this...

Ahhh! I've got it!

From now on, when we spar, we'll fight to the death!

...

Dead silence.

Countless people stared intently at the training ground, watching Xia Yan collapse into Bai Shuodong's arms, and hearing the greatsword fall to the ground with a clanging sound that seemed to thunder in everyone's hearts.

"You...you won?"

"He won?"

A sound rang out, like a spark igniting a barrel of dynamite, and the training ground erupted in chaos.

"Holy crap?!"

"This guy actually won!"

"real or fake?"
