Stop pretending, I'm a security guard, a five-star general!

Feeling the cool touch on his neck, Gu Shanhe glanced at the now-illusory figure in front of him, his pupils suddenly contracting.

He actually stabbed the opponent's clone!?

The audience erupted in uproar upon witnessing the scene unfolding before them.

Damn it! ?

Could it be that Gu Shanhe, the biggest ace of Dijing University, was defeated so easily?

This, this, this... isn't this too ridiculous!

The people in the Jiangzhou City Academy's stands, upon seeing the scene before them, showed no surprise whatsoever; instead, they remained calm.

In fact, both their starting players and substitutes are seeds planted by the divine messengers.

Furthermore, each of them had taken the Divine Soul Pill, a special elixir made by the Divine Envoy Association, which instantly boosted their combat power to the peak of the Nine-Star Martial Marquis realm, and those with better talent could even reach the Half-Step Martial King realm.

Of course, pills with such powerful medicinal effects also have extremely terrifying side effects.

Taking this pill will not only shorten one's lifespan by fifty years, but also permanently limit one's cultivation level, leaving no hope of breaking through to the Martial King realm.

Therefore, apart from these assassins who were trained by the Divine Messenger Society from childhood, no one would choose to take this kind of pill.

It can be said that the moment they took this pill, their lives were completely frozen in time, and their greatest glory would be confined to this one match.

Ye Chen stared at the arena in front of him with a completely expressionless face, constantly stroking the ring on his finger.

He has a secret that no one knows.

That is, he was the only one among their group who had not taken the Divine Soul Pill.

The reason he was so strong without taking the Soul Pill was thanks to his teacher, or more accurately, a wisp of his teacher's remnant soul, hidden in his spatial ring.

"Xiao Chenzi, do you really think that after you help the Divine Envoy Society get what they want, they will release your sister?"

An aged voice echoed in Ye Chen's mind; it was the voice of his teacher coming from his spatial ring.

"will not."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen shook his head and replied in his mind as well:

"They finally found such a useful pawn as me, so how could they bear to use me only once?"

"So you're going to continue helping them?"

"There's no other way. I'm still too weak right now. I need to rely on their power and resources to grow stronger until one day I'm strong enough to break down the gates of their Divine Envoy Society and take back my sister."

As he said this, Ye Chen clenched his fists slightly, and a look of determination appeared in his eyes.

He knew it would be difficult.

But he believes that day will surely come!

However, before that, he needed to make the Divine Messenger Society take him more seriously.

Therefore, in this match,

He absolutely cannot lose; he must win!

At this moment, on the arena,

Standing behind Gu Shanhe, Zhang Wei smiled slightly and said:

"you lose."

Gu Shanhe smiled slightly in response:

"That's not necessarily true. Do you think you're the only one who can be in two places at once?"

Before the words had even finished, Gu Shanhe's figure also slowly vanished, and Zhang Wei's eyes suddenly narrowed.

The next moment, a sharp, cold light suddenly appeared from his side and behind!

Whoosh!

Although Zhang Wei reacted extremely quickly and dodged, Gu Shanhe's longsword still slashed a bloody wound on his waist and abdomen!

Gu Shanhe stood still, pointing the sword tip diagonally downwards. With a slight flick of his wrist, he shook off the blood clinging to the blade, and said resolutely:

"No matter who you are or how strong you are, I will not lose this battle, and I cannot lose!"

Zhang Wei, clutching his bleeding abdominal wound, narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at Gu Shanhe before him.

He really underestimated them; they truly lived up to their reputation as the ace of Teikyo University.

But the opponent cannot lose, and neither can he!

He has staked his entire future on winning this match; how can he afford to lose!

Everyone has a reason why they can't afford to lose.

Next, it all comes down to whose belief and strength are stronger.

At this moment, the two on the stage stood facing each other, and a chilling aura slowly spread out. Even the spectators around them felt a sense of suffocation when they felt this fierce killing intent, and dared not even breathe.

The next moment, as if the two had planned it at the same time, their figures instantly disappeared from the spot.

In the blink of an eye, both of them rushed to the center of the arena, their longswords and daggers clashing violently, sparking dazzling flames.

Clang, clang, clang, clang!

With a series of clanging metal on the ice, the two instantly engaged in fierce combat. Blades flashed and shadows danced, the speed so fast that it was impossible for the naked eye to see them clearly.

Only two blurry afterimages could be vaguely seen flying around the arena.

This scene left the entire audience completely stunned.

This was simply the most intense, exciting, and high-quality match they had experienced since the start of the tournament!

However, they felt it was normal for Gu Shanhe, the ace of Imperial University, to possess such terrifying strength.

But how come an ordinary student from a third-tier college has such terrifying strength?

"Teikyo University lost."

At the scene, many captains of the eliminated teams who came to watch the competition made their judgments.

Although it was only the second match, it offered a glimpse into the whole picture.

Even the most ordinary player at Jiangzhou City College could go toe-to-toe with Gu Shanhe, the ace player from Dijing University.

One can only imagine just how terrifying their captain, Ye Chen, must be.

This made many university teams, who had previously felt incredibly ashamed of losing to Jiangzhou City College in the competition, feel relieved.

After all, even the most prestigious Teikyo University lost, so it's normal to lose to them as well.

However, they couldn't figure it out at all.

Where did these people from Jiangzhou City College come from, and why are they all so fierce?

At this moment, the most heartbroken people were undoubtedly the team members from Longxia University.

Because they were eliminated by Imperial University, and now it's clear that Imperial University is about to be crushed by Jiangzhou City College.

Doesn't this mean they can't even be ranked second anymore, and have directly become third?

"Damn! Weren't those guys from Imperial University pretty enthusiastic when they were beating us? Don't let them back down!"

"Sigh, it's hopeless. The two teams are simply not on the same level. Imperial University has lost."

The students from Longxia University shook their heads.

But at this moment, Ye Fan suddenly spoke calmly:

"uncertain."

"Huh?" Vice Captain Lin Haitao was taken aback. "Even Gu Shanhe, the ace of Dijing University, is having such a hard time. Captain, it's obvious that Dijing University has no chance of winning."

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan merely glanced at him.

"Who told you that Gu Shanhe is the ace of Imperial University?"

"Huh? Not Gu Shanhe?" The students from Longxia University looked puzzled. "If it's not Gu Shanhe, then who could it be?"

Ye Fan did not continue to answer. Instead, he touched his chest, which was still aching as if it were being torn apart, despite the treatment. He looked at Qin Yu, who was sitting in the contestant's seat below the stage, without saying a word.
