Chapter 190: Fight! Fight! (1/2)

Under the entire Starnet Academy’s anticipation, the third round arrived as scheduled. The spectators arrived at the public square again, and the five classes slowly walked onto the ring under a thunderous applause. Bai Xiaofei was standing among his Savage Class classmates. Listening to his name being chanted, he got first taste of the sense of pride from being the center of attention.

After everyone sat down, the judge arrived. The judge was none other than Luo Xi, the person prejudiced against Bai Xiaofei. She was the only person in the academy who Bai Xiaofei would feel fear by the mere sight of her.

Fortunately, Luo Xi was still professional in her job. Although she was prejudiced against Bai Xiaofei, she would not stoop so low as to abuse her authority over Bai Xiaofei. At the very least, she did not plan to do so this time.

“I believe everyone is becoming impatient. Without further ado, the five classes, step onto the ring,” Luo Xi said with a dignified tone, and the entire public square went silent. Their gazes all converged onto the screen in the middle of the public square. There Zhao Ziyun’s class was being broadcast.

Under everyone’s gaze, three students from Zhao Ziyun’s class stood up. One controller, one assassin, and one close-combat puppet master of the Transformation Stream. It was a rather common lineup, and was obvious that Zhao Ziyun was aiming to play it safe. This was a lineup that despite being balanced and not over the top still stood a chance at winning.

When the three walked onto the stage, the screen shifted to the Savage Class’s perspective. It was now Bai Xiaofei’s turn to send someone onto the ring. Everyone’s anticipation grew as they waited. In the previous two rounds, the Savage Class had not fought too many big matches. As such, they were the class that had hidden their abilities the best.

In a sense, anything might happen with Bai Xiaofei’s class. And thus, as everyone watched on, Bai Xiaofei made a choice that caused everyone’s eyes to go wide. He sent Shi Kui up alone.

Shi Kui was in fact feeling terrible after being sent up there alone because he had been turned into a disposable pawn. With a bitter smile on his face, he slowly walked onto the stage.

Due to this choice, Luo Xi’s disdain of Bai Xiaofei grew. Even if he wanted to keep his trump cards, he did not need to do this. Did he not think of how his classmates would feel?

But of course Bai Xiaofei would not care about how his classmates would feel. How could he when four billion Amethyst Coins were on the line? Not to mention Bai Xiaofei, any other person would do the same.

“Fellow students, can you pull your punches? I’m just a normal Puppetsmith,” Shi Kui immediately pleaded with a bitter look on his face upon getting onto the ring. Unfortunately, his opponents did not seem affected.

From their expressions, it was clear that they perceived Shi Kui as a free point for their class.

“You have three seconds to prepare. After that, the match will start,” Luo Xi said and started the countdown. A panicked expression appeared on Shi Kui’s face. After all, three seconds were too short to prepare.

“Start!”

The moment Luo Xi announced the start, She Kui’s three opponents moved. The assassin slowly faded into thin air, and from the way he was fading, it was clear that his concealment ability was probably something that worked like a camouflage. This was perhaps the only good news for Shi Kui. Otherwise, if this assassin was capable of true disappearance, he would not stand a chance.

At the same time, the controller opened fire on Shi Kui. The vines that were twirled around his hand shot into the ground, turning the entire stage into a danger zone. The next second, several vines as thick as an arm shot up from the ground below Shi Kui, trapping him where he stood.
