Chapter 16: Chapter 16

The Second Lesson

???

Mo Xiu was also a little confused. The first individual battle had just taken place yesterday. Logically speaking, everyone should fight against each other once.

However, Mo Xiu had forgotten that common sense did not exist after coming to the Cosmic Tuition Class.

Wang Lei continued, “You guys are very outstanding. The second lesson is over.”

“The second lesson is to familiarize yourself with your skills. From yesterday’s match, all of you have a certain personal understanding of your skills. Today, we will be having a team battle.”

A team battle? The four of them sighed at how Wang Lei and Wang Yu had so many tricks up their sleeves. Why did they come up with another team battle?

Next, Wang Yu began to explain the rules.

“Let’s add something fun to the team battle. There’s only one rule this time — snatch the flag!”

“Snatch the flag?”

Usually, there would be some group battles in university. However, the rules of the competition would be that a team would achieve victory when no members of the opposing team were on the field. They had never heard of team battles or snatching the flag.

Wang Yu continued, “That’s right, the rules are…”

“Firstly, each team will have a small flag. The team members will decide who they place the flag on. When the member with the flag on them goes out of bounds, the opposing team will win.”

“Secondly, if the person that goes out of bounds doesn’t have a flag on them, they will enter the waiting area and be revived in one minute.”

“Thirdly, if you are knocked down by the opponent, you will be eliminated.”

Wang Lei used a pile of chairs to form a circle and created an opening in the circle. Then, he said, “This is the revival area. As for the groups, Mo Xiu and Liu Ziyang will form one team, while Mu Qingyi and Yue Yuan will form the other team.”

After that, he handed the two palm-sized flags to the two teams. The moment the four of them saw the flags, they understood that the key to victory was to hide the flags and not let the opponents know who held them.

After that, Wang Yu gave each team half an hour to discuss their tactics.

Mo Xiu could still use God’s Eye once. He didn’t choose to use it on Yue Yuan, but on Liu Ziyang instead.

Mo Xiu basically knew Yue Yuan’s skills. Furthermore, at times like this, understanding his teammates’ skills was more important.

“First Skill: Afterimage.”

“Skill Effect: When the user is attacked, the user turns into an afterimage. After one second, the user can choose to appear anywhere within a one-meter radius of their original position. After triggering the skill, the user’s first critical hit (attack power is doubled) will increase by 50%.”

“Duration: One minute (User’s speed enhances state).”

“Cooldown: 2 hours.”

Unexpectedly, the fatty Liu Ziyang typically did not seem clever, but he had hidden most of his skills.

When he introduced the skill, Liu Ziyang did not say that his speed would increase after releasing the skill, nor did he mention anything about critical hits.

After what had happened yesterday, Mo Xiu wasn’t as careful when using the God’s Eye.

The discovery of Elder Tang’s presence was also beneficial. At least it proved that Elder Tang, Wang Lei, and Wang Yu had no evidence to prove that he had a second skill. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have probed him yesterday.

Hence, in the future, Mo Xiu would be able to use God’s Eyes openly. Even someone like Wang Yu would not be able to see through it. No one in this world would be able to.

Half an hour later, the four of them entered the arena.

Wang Lei and Wang Yu took out a table and started munching on melon seeds. They didn’t look like teachers at all.

“Begin!”

At the start of the competition, the four of them did not use any skills and entered the probing stage.

Mo Xiu and Liu Ziyang were the first to move. The two of them moved apart.

This was because Mu Qingyi and Yue Yuan’s skills were very suitable for engaging in teamwork.

If the combination of Mo Xiu and Liu Ziyang was like adding one and one to produce two, then the result of Mu Qingyi and Yue Yuan teaming up was more than two.

Thus, Mo Xiu and Liu Ziyang separated at the start as they wanted Mu Qingyi and Liu Ziyang to split up and deal with them. They wanted to form two groups, with each member of the group fighting each other one-on-one.

Mo Xiu and Liu Ziyang were not too far away from each other. If Mu Qingyi and Yue Yuan chose to attack one person at the same time, they could quickly provide support to each other.

Mo Xiu and Liu Ziyang slowly approached Mu Qingyi and Yue Yuan from both sides.

Meanwhile, Mu Qingyi and Yue Yuan two didn’t seem to notice Mo Xiu and Liu Ziyang. Instead, they remained indifferent.

Just as Mo Xiu felt that something was wrong, Mu Qingyi and Yue Yuan moved at the same time.

They attacked Liu Ziyang at an extremely fast speed, as if they had discussed it beforehand.

Mo Xiu knew that things were not looking good. His entire body flashed with golden light as he activated Descent of the Martial God and rushed to provide support.

However, he was still a step too late. Mu Qingyi quickly used her flying dagger to block Liu Ziyang’s escape path. Meanwhile, Yue Yuan had set up an array in advance.

The ground below Liu Ziyang’s feet flashed. After the array was triggered, he was frozen.

Next, Mu Qingyi used the back of her flying dagger to hit Liu Ziyang’s shoulder, causing him to fall to the ground.

In the end, Mo Xiu’s speed could not compare to that of the flying dagger. He could only watch as Liu Ziyang was eliminated.

It wasn’t that Liu Ziyang couldn’t dodge. Instead, he didn’t want to use his skills so easily.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Perhaps it was because everything happened too suddenly. Wang Yu only reacted after a second and said, “Liu Ziyang is out of bounds. The competition continues.”

The competition continued. This meant that the flag wasn’t on Liu Ziyang, but on Mo Xiu.

Liu Ziyang immediately came to the revival area. Meanwhile, Mo Xiu also jumped back to pull away from Mu Qingyi.

It was now two against one. Mo Xiu didn’t have the confidence to defeat the two of them, so he wanted to stall for time until Liu Ziyang revived.

However, Mu Qingyi and Yue Yuan did something unexpected.

The two of them did not choose to seize the moment to attack. Instead, they stood at the entrance of the revival area.

Even Mo Xiu couldn’t help but sigh.

“F*ck, are you guys trying to collect the corpse?”

Yue Yuan said, “Why? Did the rules say that we can’t guard the corpse?”

Mo Xiu didn’t have the confidence to defeat the two of them. Neither did they have the confidence to defeat Mo Xiu within a minute.

It was better to guard the revival area. Once Liu Ziyang came out, they would defeat him. As long as they could drag it out until the time limit of Mo Xiu’s skill was up, they could naturally win easily.

Mo Xiu couldn’t help but say, “Yue Yuan, aren’t you too shameless?”

Yue Yuan looked towards Mu Qingyi, who grinned and said, “Mo Xiu, this was my idea.”

Mo Xiu said awkwardly, “Isn’t that a little despicable?”

As soon as these words came out, Yue Yuan was unhappy. If it was his idea, it would be shameless. However, if it was Mu Qingyi’s idea, then it was a little despicable. Why was this the case?

Yue Yuan pouted and said, “Mo Xiu, your double standards are too much.”

Mo Xiu also felt that his words were inappropriate and decided not to explain.

However, the problem Mo Xiu was facing now was not small. It was as if Mu Qingyi and Yue Yuan were sitting at ease in a fishing boat despite the storms.

Meanwhile, Mo Xiu was in a dilemma. If he attacked now, it would be difficult for him to win against two opponents. However, if he didn’t attack now, they would be able to stall for time.

Time passed. Neither side made a move. For a moment, the battlefield was in a deadlock.

Wang Lei asked Wang Yu who was beside him, “Shouldn’t we let them snatch the flag and let them compete normally? This is obviously a pure battle of wits.”

Wang Yu chewed on the melon seeds in his hand and looked at the arena seriously.

“Brother, your actual combat ability is very strong. What you lack is the ability to set up traps. Just watch, the show is about to begin. Watch carefully. It might end in the blink of an eye.”

Mo Xiu calculated the amount of time that had passed. It was almost time for Liu Ziyang to revive. He couldn’t delay any longer.

Step by step, he walked towards Mu Qingyi and Yue Yuan.

When Mu Qingyi and Yue Yuan saw that Mo Xiu had moved, they also perked up, knowing that the time for the decisive battle had arrived.

“Time’s up. Liu Ziyang has been revived!”
