Chapter 330: Chapter 269 Snap Chapter 330: Chapter 269 Snap Kanos took a few steps onto the field and spoke: “Qiguang, Kanos!”
“Great Flame Demon Capital Academy, Qin Jia.”
Both sides stood firm, and Qin Jia focused and prepared.
Kanos, however, did not rush to act; instead, he looked at Qin Jia with a relaxed expression.
“Hey, you seem quite exhausted.
Can you handle it?
How about stepping down?
I might not control my strength well and accidentally cripple you!”
At this moment, Qin Jia’s Star Power Fluctuation was slightly weaker.
Although the power of Shadow Tide was quite astonishing, using an Epic Grade Domain Skill consumed a lot of energy.
If it hadn’t converted a large amount of Irina’s Light Element Star Power, the consumption would have been even greater.
In a tournament battle, there wasn’t dedicated rest time.
At most, there were five minutes of preparation time.
Qin Jia initially intended not to use this move, but after a brief test and personally experiencing Irina’s terrifying burst ability, he decisively used it!
Without Shadow Tide, it would be hard to win!
Qin Jia remained calm as usual, saying softly: “You don’t need to worry about me.
Just come at me.”
“Alright, then I won’t be polite!”
Kanos grinned and suddenly snapped his fingers.
“Snap!”
Qin Jia frowned, still a bit puzzled.
However, in the next moment, Qin Jia suddenly felt something.
His expression changed, and then his whole body seemed to be hit by an invisible force and flew backward!
“Senior Qin?!” Many students in the audience exclaimed.
Qin Jia gritted his teeth to endure the pain, stabilizing himself.
Horrified, he waved his hand, releasing a large amount of Shadow Power, which formed a Shadow Prison around him.
Unable to see the opponent’s attack method, he had to resort to passive defense.
Kanos grinned, extending both hands, “Snap, snap, snap…” Crisp snaps sounded continuously.
With each snap, the Shadow Prison around Qin Jia was pressed inward as if hit by an invisible giant force, unstoppable!
“Boom…”
The Shadow Prison didn’t last two seconds before shattering, revealing Qin Jia inside.
“Then I’ll crush you…”
An excited yet sinister smile appeared on Kanos’ face.
He opened his right hand, and circles of blue soundwaves appeared before him.
Qin Jia’s heart sank.
Within a short moment, he still couldn’t figure out Kanos’ ability.
He only knew that the opponent seemed capable of launching invisible attacks through snapping his fingers.
Facing another assault from the opponent, Qin Jia briefly pondered and decided to attack instead of defending.
Although this approach was risky, the opponent’s attacks were strange and hard to guard against.
He could only deal with it this way for now.
Shadow surged around him.
Qin Jia activated Shadow Star Power to shield himself as he charged at Kanos, simultaneously weaving strands of Star Power to block his ears.
“Sealing your ears to block my attack?”
Kanos smirked, blue light flickering at his fingertips, and snapped again.
“Snap!”
Under the blue soundwave, a crisp sound echoed throughout the arena.
The Shadow Star Power shattered instantly, and everyone was horrified to see Qin Jia fly backward hundreds of meters, crashing into the barrier light screen at the edge of the field.
He spewed a mouthful of blood and slowly slipped down!
“President Qin!”
“What’s going on?”
“Is that guy really that strong?”
Everyone in the audience was shocked.
They didn’t expect the previously dominant Qin Jia to be defeated so quickly!
He didn’t even see the opponent’s attack!
At this moment, Zheng Chusheng quickly passed through the barrier and appeared on the field, catching Qin Jia.
Seeing Qin Jia’s condition, Zheng Chusheng frowned tightly, a trace of coldness rising in his eyes.
At this moment, Qin Jia’s whole chest was partially sunken, with at least three or four broken ribs!
“How do you feel?” Zheng Chusheng asked in a deep voice.
“Still…
still okay.” Qin Jia managed to say two words before coughing up more blood.
“Alright, don’t speak.”
Zheng Chusheng raised his head, glaring coldly at Kanos.
In that instant, Kanos felt the surrounding air seem to compress toward him, as if it could crush him into pulp with just a thought from his opponent!
However, Zheng Chusheng ultimately looked away, let out a cold snort, and took Qin Jia away first.
“Let me see.”
Lan Xinlan quickly approached, examining Qin Jia and frowning.
She immediately began using Healing Skill.
“These Qiguang students are too ruthless for their age.
Qin Jia’s bones are shattered so badly.
Even if he recovers, he will need to rest for a while!”
Zheng Chusheng remarked: “It’s impossible for these students to be so vicious without higher-ups’ permission.”
Speaking of which, Zheng Chusheng looked toward the opposing bench where Professor Moss was sitting.
Their eyes met, and Moss stood up, slightly bowing to express apology.
However, there wasn’t a hint of apology in his eyes.
The young He Yanan was also angry, letting out a cold snort: “They came with ill intentions!”
Although fists and feet have no eyes, this was an exchange between two countries.
Great Flame and Demon Capital Academy tried to be hospitable to their guests.
However, Kanos, who could have shown restraint, went all out, even seemingly intentionally inflicting heavy harm…
Thus, the nature and atmosphere of this match had entirely changed!
Zheng Chusheng slowly said: “Regardless, we must think about how to deal with that Qiguang student.
From the power shown just now, that student’s ability seems to be related to hand gestures and soundwaves.
He can launch fast, invisible attacks with his snaps.
This ability is indeed quite unique and strange.”
He Yanan pondered: “However, no ability is without flaws.
Such an odd ability must have some weaknesses, but the opponent has revealed too little for us to see.
Although, at the end, Qin Jia sealed his ears with Shadow Star Power but still couldn’t stop the invisible attacks.
ονǤ0.сᴑ
So, this ability isn’t something as simple as sealing one’s ears to defend against.”
It’s really about the lack of information, with the Power of Soul awakening in Star Card Masters being so varied.
After pondering for a while, Zheng Chusheng looked at the two students beside him: “Wang Dong, Li Qian, who will go first?”
Wang Dong and Li Qian were the other two students prepared to compete from Demon Capital Academy.
In terms of strength, they were naturally not as strong as Qin Jia.
Even Qin Jia couldn’t defeat Kanos, so it was unlikely they could.
However, if one went up first to buy time and let the teachers understand the opponent’s abilities, the next one might have a chance to beat him.
At this moment, both Wang Dong and Li Qian were filled with intense anger.
After all, seeing Qin Jia seriously injured, they couldn’t just let it slide!
Even if they lost, they wanted to take a piece of flesh!
Glancing at Li Qian, Wang Dong stepped forward first: “Teacher Zheng, I’ll go!”
Zheng Chusheng had the same intention and was about to nod.
“How about…
letting Su Yuan try…?”
At this moment, Qin Jia, lying on the side and stabilized by Lan Xinlan’s healing, suddenly spoke with difficulty.
When the teachers heard this, they couldn’t help but look over.
Zheng Chusheng said: “Su Yuan?
The sophomore who stopped the Demon King’s revival and advanced to the Gold Level?”
Qin Jia slightly nodded.
He Yanan slightly pondered and agreed: “Su Yuan’s strength far exceeds his peers.
Now that he’s advanced to Gold Level, he might have a chance against those with the Power of Soul Awakening.
Besides…”
He Yanan hesitated: “Though I haven’t seen Su Yuan for some time, Teacher Yang Yifeng said he’s already at the Gold Middle Stage.”
Everyone, including Zheng Chusheng, was surprised: “The South Sea incident was not long ago; how did he advance to Gold Middle Stage so fast?”
“I’m not sure…” He Yanan shook her head.
“I asked Teacher Yang, but he didn’t say.”
Zheng Chusheng frowned: “Yang Yifeng always likes to be mysterious.
He’s usually so scruffy and unteacher-like.
The dean is the only one who can manage him!”
“Heh, I heard someone talking behind my back.”
Suddenly, a few strands of light blue Clear Wind blew, and soon a thin figure appeared on the field.
“Kid Zheng, it’s you?”
Zheng Chusheng’s expression froze.
Although he was merely stating facts, it was a bit awkward to be caught gossiping.
There was nothing to say, so he just grunted.
Yang Yifeng ignored him and first checked Qin Jia’s condition, his eyes also growing cold.
“Then let Su Yuan go.” Yang Yifeng’s voice hardened as he looked at the audience.
Naturally, Su Yuan saw Yang Yifeng appearing in the Demon Capital Academy’s standby area.
When Yang Yifeng signaled him, Su Yuan stood up.
“Where are you going, Su Yuan?” Shang Baiyu beside him asked.
Xia Yue and others also looked over in surprise.
Su Yuan glanced at the field: “I think it’s my turn.”
“Your turn?”
Everyone was stunned.
“Yeah.”
Su Yuan nodded, said nothing more, and quickly made his way to Demon Capital Academy’s standby area.
“Right!
Su Yuan is already at Gold Level and stopped the Demon King’s revival!”
Not until Su Yuan left did everyone realize, astonished.
Although everyone in the advanced class knew Su Yuan always led them by a large margin, they never thought he’d participate in such senior-level activities.
Now that Su Yuan was at Gold Level, with his demonstrated combat power, he might indeed rank within the entire academy!
Watching Su Yuan head to the standby area, possibly to represent Demon Capital Academy against the Qiguang student, the advanced class felt an unexplainable surge of excitement.
Xiang Dingqian especially stared at Su Yuan’s back, excitement and happiness almost overflowing.
“If it’s you, you can do it!”
…
“You’ve arrived, Su Yuan.” He Yanan welcomed him with a few steps.
Su Yuan greeted: “Teacher Xiao He, teachers.”
Yang Yifeng said directly: “No nonsense, Su Yuan, you know the situation.
Ready to go?”
Su Yuan glanced at the severely injured Qin Jia and nodded calmly: “Of course.”
Yang Yifeng nodded: “Good!
Just go.
Rest assured, with me here, the academy won’t treat you unfairly.
Just show what you can!”
“Moreover…” Yang Yifeng’s voice turned cold.
“Blades are unseeing; it’s only natural to fail to hold back as long as it’s not fatal.”
Su Yuan understood Yang Yifeng’s implication, his eyes gleaming coldly as he smiled: “Don’t worry, teacher.”
With that, Su Yuan bowed to the teachers and then strode towards the Real Battlefield!
