Growing 10000 kilograms every day, I evolved into a mythical beast-Chapter 286 - 145 Too Weak!

The entire Central Square was in an uproar.

Some students even doubted whether the True Martial Department had no one to send, hence letting Xu Zhou take the place!

In the crowd, Li Ruoxi heard the discussions around her, but her delicate brows furrowed: "The True Martial Department is indeed short of people, but if Xu Zhou were a mere replacement, he shouldn’t be in the finale position..."

She looked in the direction of Xu Zhou, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes.

On the sidelines, Kui Mu glanced at Shen Wanchen beside him: "Are you sure you want to place Xu Zhou in the finale position?"

Shen Wanchen nodded and said, "I believe, with his strength, he is more than capable of handling this final position."

Seeing this, Kui Mu said no more.

This competition order was naturally set by the experts together.

Initially, they intended to place Xu Zhou in a middle position.

But it was Shen Wanchen who stepped forward and suggested putting Xu Zhou last, leaving some of the Eighth Grade experts puzzled.

Kuei Mu curiously looked at Xu Zhou, eager to see what kind of strength this guy actually possessed to make Shen Wanchen so confident?

Could it be... directly breaking through to the mid-Second Grade?

...

"Second Grade tournament, first match, Divine Martial Department’s Zhang Lei, against True Martial Department’s Shen Fei!"

As the announcement fell, two people swiftly leaped onto the arena.

Zhang Lei and Shen Fei, both were considered the weakest in their respective teams, but weak was only relative; their strength was top-notch in the Second Grade anywhere!

Xu Zhou also focused his spirit. The first match was crucial for morale. Would Shen Fei win?

"The match begins!"

Wu Qingshan wasted no words, issuing the command as soon as the two stepped on stage.

Both moved instantly!

Zhang Lei stomped the ground with his foot, and his longsword was like lightning, stabbing towards Shen Fei!

The mighty qi-blood energy suddenly erupted, shaking the arena; this was the intensity of a Second Grade peak martial artist, a random strike was comparable to yesterday’s peak duel between Xu Zhou and Wan Changkong!

Shen Fei used a short-handled axe, seeing this, he neither dodged nor evaded, charging head-on with the axe.

Whoosh!

Though he was burly, his movements were incredibly swift, closing the distance to Zhang Lei in the blink of an eye.

The next moment, Shen Fei chopped down with his short axe!

"Clang!"

A loud bang echoed, and Zhang Lei was sent flying backward!

"Kill!"

Shen Fei pressed on his advantage. His heavy axe combat technique excelled in close combat, unmatched in strength; Zhang Lei was not his match!

He charged forward with the heavy axe, hacking towards Zhang Lei again.

"Whoosh!" fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

This time, Zhang Lei’s figure was ghostly, dodging. Shen Fei’s axe missed, landing on the ground with a deafening crash.

A trace of a cold smile appeared in Zhang Lei’s eyes, seizing the moment Shen Fei raised his axe, his longsword thrust again!

Shen Fei quickly turned, sweeping his heavy axe behind him.

"Watch out!"

At this moment, Cheng Xin suddenly shouted.

Shen Fei frowned slightly, but before he could react, Zhang Lei behind him shifted again, stepping mid-air.

"Eagle Step?" Below the stage, Xu Zhou’s brows furrowed deeply.

The True Martial Department had the Nine Steps to Heaven, allowing one to walk mid-air even at the Second Grade realm; naturally, the Divine Martial Department did too!

Like the Eagle Step!

And Zhang Lei apparently had cultivated the Eagle Step to an extremely advanced level, enabling him to walk mid-air like a third-grade expert!

The battlefield situation changed instantly.

With Zhang Lei using the Eagle Step to walk in the air, Shen Fei instantly lost his advantage.

He could only defend passively on the ground, while Zhang Lei could constantly launch sneak attacks from the air!

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Zhang Lei’s speed was extreme, his longsword stabbing like lightning.

In just a few seconds, he had delivered over a hundred strikes.

Under such a stormy attack, Shen Fei inevitably got injured, and his injuries grew heavier and heavier.

"Pfft!"

Finally, Zhang Lei seized the opportunity, stabbing Shen Fei’s chest with a sword.

But Shen Fei seemed oblivious to the pain, grabbing Zhang Lei’s sword with one hand, thrusting it further into his chest.

With a muffled sound, the longsword pierced through his chest!

But Shen Fei used this chance to pull Zhang Lei right before him! A hint of madness flashed in his eyes!

"Die!"

Shen Fei swung his axe, chopping towards Zhang Lei.

"Is this guy crazy?" Below the stage, Cheng Xin’s expression changed slightly; actively getting skewered by Zhang Lei’s sword, doesn’t it hurt?

Xu Zhou’s gaze was also deep; this had already become akin to a life-and-death battle!

On the stage, Zhang Lei obviously didn’t expect Shen Fei to be so ruthless, but his speed was extremely fast. He directly abandoned the longsword, dodging Shen Fei’s desperate strike.

"Thud!"

Shen Fei’s body crashed onto the ground.

His desperate strike... had failed!

A crushing defeat!

"Divine Martial Department, Zhang Lei wins!"

Below the stage, there was not a sound to be heard!

...

Shen Wanchen took Shen Fei off the stage, instructing medical personnel to perform immediate first aid.

Xu Zhou, Cheng Xin, and others all had exceedingly heavy expressions.

Even after a desperate blow, Shen Fei couldn’t injure Zhang Lei!

Could it be that Divine Martial Department’s first fighter was already this strong?

Was the gap that wide?

"Zhang Lei’s strength is average, but his Eagle Step is very skilled, allowing him to walk in the air!"

Cheng Xin slowly said, "In our True Martial Department, only Qin Feng can achieve this at a Second Grade realm."

"Zhang Lei being arranged first, is likely a strategy of the Divine Martial Department."

Aiming to use this to strike the True Martial Department!

"We can’t let them succeed!"

Cheng Xin bit her silver teeth, her fair little fists clenched tightly.

Other team members all wore solemn expressions.

Beside them, Xu Zhou exhaled sharply, saying, "Zhang Lei’s qi-blood isn’t outstanding, it’s best to defeat him with a thunderous blow right when he gets on stage; don’t give him a chance to use the Eagle Step."

Everyone exchanged glances, all with wry smiles.
