Four Skills for All.

Skill 1: Raging Tornado 2

Skill effect: Summons a tornado with a diameter of 30 meters, stunning and dealing continuous damage to targets caught in it.

Chanting time: two seconds

Duration: 5 seconds

Cooldown time: three hours

As usual, Mo Xiu used God's Peep on He Xu, and was shocked when he saw the effect of the skill.

Although the duration of the stun and the level of damage are unknown, the range of the skill alone is terrifying.

The entire arena is only fifty meters wide, and the tornado is thirty meters in diameter. Once He Xu releases his skill, it is virtually impossible to dodge.

However, He Xu's skills also have weaknesses, namely the casting time during the first appearance of the skill. This casting time is the time from releasing the skill to the appearance of the tornado.

"The match begins!"

Mo Xiu was prepared to launch a fierce attack as soon as the match started and end the match within He Xu's chanting time.

This way, we can avoid trouble and win the game in the safest way.

At the very start of the match, Mo Xiu activated the Descent of the God of War and advanced at full speed.

However, Mo Xiu miscalculated. Those who could enter the school's selection were all exceptionally strong, not to mention a major department like the Elemental Department.

He Xu was well aware of the weakness in his skills. He had been observing the host the whole time and released his skill before the competition started. Just as the host finished speaking, the chanting time ended and a tornado appeared on the ground.

Mo Xiu had only taken two steps when he realized something was wrong. A tornado rose up beneath his feet, and he was right in the center of it. It seemed that He Xu had planned this all along.

In an instant, Mo Xiu reacted. It was impossible to escape the tornado's range at this point, so he decided to retreat and get as far away from He Xu as possible.

Since the duration of the dizziness from a tornado is unknown, He Xu must avoid inflicting further harm on himself while he is dizzy.

The wind rose sharply and quickly, lifting Mo Xiu into the air. In that instant, Mo Xiu felt his brain stop for less than a second; it seemed that this was dizziness.

Then Mo Xiu was swept into the center of the tornado, the wind around him as sharp as knives.

"Swish!" Mo Xiu's clothes were torn at the shoulder.

"Swish!" The pant leg was ripped open at the ankle.

Five seconds later, the wind stopped, and Mo Xiu landed slowly, his clothes tattered.

Fortunately, the wind blades did not break through the defenses, and Mo Xiu was not injured.

Although he wasn't injured, Mo Xiu was still shaken. The wind blade's damage was just enough to not break through his defenses; if the damage had been any stronger, Mo Xiu would have been in a terrible state.

Mo Xiu sighed, realizing he had been careless. If he had considered the opponent's tactics before the match began, he might have avoided being hit, and winning would have been much easier.

The wind completely dissipated, and Mo Xiu walked step by step toward He Xu.

He Xu shook his head helplessly and shouted loudly to the host, "I admit defeat!"

Then he said to Mo Xiu, "I never expected that there would be someone like you in the support class."

Mo Xiu shrugged and said, "This year, the support class will surprise you all."

He Xu clasped his hands in a fist and said, "I'm waiting to see!"

The match ended. Today was Mo Xiu's last match, so he got home a little late. As soon as he entered the door, Yang Qingzhuo, Zheng Yi, and Xiao Fushun were waiting in front of the hot pot.

Judging from Yang Qingzhuo's expression, he was practically drooling.

Seeing Mo Xiu's tattered clothes, Yang Qingzhuo asked with concern, "Mo Xiu, are you alright? Your clothes were torn yesterday, and they're torn today too!"

Zheng Yi taunted from the side, "Mo Xiu, you go through a lot of clothes during the competition! How was the competition?"

"The match went well, we won. But why are you guys eating hot pot again? Aren't you tired of it?"

Yang Qingzhuo and Xiao Fushun had already started eating and had no time to pay attention to Mo Xiu.

Zheng Yi said, "What's there to get tired of? You never get tired of eating meat. Besides, we used to have a clear broth hot pot, but today it's a spicy hot pot. Come and eat!"

After changing his clothes in his room, Mo Xiu returned to the kitchen and sat down. He saw Xiao Fushun stuffing himself with food and tapped him on the head with his chopsticks.

"It's spicy, eat less of it. Have you forgotten when you had diarrhea?"

"Meow...!"

Xiao Fushun growled at Mo Xiu, dissatisfied that Mo Xiu had exposed his shortcomings.

Mo Xiu vigorously rubbed Xiao Fushun's head, leaving Xiao Fushun dazed. After a while, he continued eating meat.

Mo Xiu won the battles on the third and fourth days without any doubt, and every opponent was formidable.

The final record of the four support characters was: Mo Xiu had four wins and zero losses, Xiao Lan had three wins and one loss, Dong Fang had one win and three losses, and Xue Ling'er had zero wins and four losses.

After the competition ended, the host said, "The preliminary rounds of the school's individual competition have concluded. Every contestant gave their all, delivering one exciting match after another. Please wait a moment while the staff tallies the results. We will announce the top eight shortly."

In fact, if some people had kept track of the results, they would have known long ago who would advance.

Mo Xiu has a perfect record of four wins and zero losses, and is a seeded player, so reaching the quarterfinals is a sure thing for him, so there's nothing to worry about.

Ten minutes later, the results came out, and to everyone's surprise, out of a total of seven seeded players, six advanced, and one seeded player was eliminated, and that was a strong offensive type seeded player.

Of the eight who advanced, there was one offensive type, Zhou Qiuwu; two elemental type seed players; one agility type seed player; three ability type players; and Mo Xiu, a support type seed player.

This result surprised everyone. The strongest offensive type only had one person advance, while the second-to-last-ranked psychic type eliminated an offensive type seed and had three people advance.

Mo Xiu was also puzzled, as none of his four opponents possessed supernatural abilities, so he didn't know the specifics of the situation.

I asked the people around me, and they were all basically clueless.

At this moment, Mo Xiu called Hao Ren. This know-it-all should know what's going on, right?

Hao Ren did not disappoint Mo Xiu, and told him the real reason.

Upon hearing the reason, Mo Xiu praised the supernatural ability department's instructor as a tactical genius.

The reason for the sudden rise of the psychic ability type is simple: its superior number of skills.

The special abilities department selected two students whose birthdays were before August 1st, meaning that these two students already possessed two abilities before the school's one-on-one competition began.

Other departments have tried this method before, but none of them were ideal. This is because there are already few students born before August 1st, and there may not be any particularly strong ones. Furthermore, there is uncertainty. No one can predict the strength of the second skill. If the second skill that a person awakens is weak, then it will be a loss.

However, this year, the students with supernatural abilities got lucky. Both of them were born before August and are quite strong, and their awakened second skills are very powerful.

In the absence of an absolute advantage, two skills can definitely suppress one skill, which is why the school encourages competitions but also protects younger students.

These two dark horses with superpowers won all four of their battles and were invincible.

That top-seeded player with a strong attack style was also unlucky; he ran into both of these dark horses and lost both matches, failing to reach the quarterfinals.

When the final eight were announced, there was an unexpected surprise that Mo Xiu could hardly believe his ears.

Du Ya, the strongest member of the club, has entered the top eight. That unruly woman, the woman who looked down on Mo Xiu.

The two exchanged a glance, and Mo Xiu could see the shock in Du Ya's eyes.

Duya joined the strongest club for a simple reason: she would skip the selection process and directly participate in the club's one-on-one competition.

I never had any hope for the team competition, but seeing that Mo Xiu has also made it into the top eight, maybe there's still hope for the team competition...
