Chapter 152 I'll be waiting for you on the bench.
Amidst endless humiliation, Lu Yilin was shot in the shoulder by Zhao Manyan.
This is just an intra-team competition; otherwise, those light arrows wouldn't be aimed at shoulders or similar areas.
"Zhao Manyansheng."
Lu Yilin dared not have any objection to the results announced by Huayu.
Just before stepping down from the stage, he gave Zhao Manyan a vicious look.
What a despicable person!
Zhao Manyan seemed completely unconcerned about this, and even walked off the stage with great pride, standing tall and proud in front of everyone.
"Old Zhao, well done." Mo Fan stepped forward and patted Zhao Manyan on the shoulder, praising him.
In his view, it was quite impressive that a defensive mage like Zhao Manyan, who didn't have many offensive options, could win in a one-on-one battle.
Who cares about whether the victory is honorable or not, as long as we win.
However, some people in the team didn't think like Mo Fan.
A discordant voice suddenly rang out.
"Tch, winning by using magical artifacts, truly befitting the young master of the Zhao family conglomerate," Guan Yu said with some disdain.
"Hey, Mo Fan, did you hear that? There's a dog barking." Zhao Manyan asked Mo Fan without even looking at Guan Yu.
"What dog? That's clearly a fish barking." Mo Fan cooperated perfectly.
"Oh right, right, a mandarin fish." Zhao Manyan immediately laughed.
In their conversation, they emphasized the word "only".
It's as if what they're talking about isn't a person, but some kind of domesticated livestock.
When it comes to verbal sparring, who can beat the two-faced duo of Zhao Manyan and Mo Fan?
The two of them were exchanging barbs, which infuriated Guan Yu. Helpless, he could only say, "What kind of skill is it to beat these people? If you're so capable, come and fight me one-on-one."
"I'm a defensive mage, who wants to fight you one-on-one? If you're so capable, let's have a two-on-two. I'll choose Mo Fan, you can choose whoever you want." Zhao Manyan retorted angrily upon hearing Guan Yu's request.
He knows perfectly well what made him able to beat Lu Yilin in that one-on-one fight.
One-on-one with Guan Yu?
Zhao Manyan felt that he would have to be out of his mind to play one-on-one with an assassin mage like Guan Yu.
They can't hit anything, so they just stand there and let their magic power dwindle. Do they really think their magic power is infinite?
Two-on-two is his forte; as long as his teammates deal enough damage, he can guarantee that the opponent's magic won't even touch his teammates.
"Really? Then I'll choose the team leader." Guan Yu said with a serious expression.
His words conveyed a strong sense of anticipation for the fight to begin immediately.
"Get lost!" Zhao Manyan cursed irritably.
I thought that Mo Fan and I were shameless enough, but I didn't expect that Guan Yu was not bad either, he could even say something like choosing Hua Yu.
If we choose him, do we even need you to play?
Just as Guan Yu was preparing to debate the two heroes, Hua Yu's voice suddenly came from the stage.
"In the final match, National University team substitute Mu Nujiao challenged National University team starter Guan Yu, and both players took to the court."
Upon hearing Hua Yu's introduction, everyone immediately understood that the most beautiful girl among the three was the one who had replaced Zu Jiming and been promoted to the National Team.
The right to challenge!
This is a right that every substitute player on the Nationals team has.
Unlike the previous two matches, neither side will have to leave the team this time, regardless of the outcome; they are simply competing for a starting position.
"Phew~~~"
Guan Yu took a deep breath, calmed himself, and prepared to go on stage.
Of the ten selected candidates, besides Hua Yu, four are at the high level of dual-elemental cultivation, and there is also Mu Ningxue. The strength of these six people is far superior to that of the others.
Of the remaining four, Nan Rongni, being a healing mage, will remain in her position unless a stronger healing mage comes along.
Nan Jue is also a sound-based military mage with rich combat experience. Sound-based magic is notoriously difficult to defeat, so it's hard for a substitute to win against her.
Jiang Yu himself is not very strong, but his Night Rakshasa can almost take on three opponents at once.
Of course, the "three" here refers to these elites. If it were ordinary mages, even seven or eight of them might not be able to subdue that Night Rakshasa.
Therefore, Guan Yu already knew that if a substitute used the challenger's right, he would most likely choose him as the opponent.
Thinking of this, Guan Yu smiled helplessly.
Unbeknownst to him, he had become the worst performer on the National Team.
"Hey, it's your turn, kid," Zhao Manyan said with a laugh.
"Hmph, if you can win, then I certainly can."
After saying that, Guan Yu stretched his body briefly and then walked towards the stage.
"Go, Goddess Mu! Let this kid come and be my substitute!" Zhao Manyan shouted, cupping his hands around his mouth.
Upon hearing this, Guan Yu, who had just stepped onto the stage, almost slipped and fell to the ground.
Who wants to be your substitute?
The two sides stood still, and Mu Nujiao simply nodded slightly to Guan Yu, without any expression other than that of fighting.
"start!"
As soon as Hua Yu finished speaking, Guan Yu and Mu Nujiao moved at the same time.
One person didn't want to lose!
One wants to win!
"Wind Tracks. Drifting Shadows!"
"vine!"
From the very beginning, countless strange trees, vines, and buds surrounded Mu Nujiao, while on the outskirts of the plant territory, a figure moved back and forth, constantly searching for a suitable angle to attack.
"Shuashuashua~~~"
A series of cutting sounds rang out on the field.
Guan Yu took out his special arm armor magic tool and cut through the plant vines. Soon, he appeared in front of Mu Nujiao.
"Wind Track. Flash Step".
Mu Nujiao reacted quickly, and the moment she sensed that her plant had been cut, she left her own wind trail on the field.
Both are wind mages, but their roles are completely different.
Guan Yu is a traditional wind-based assassin, while Mu Nu Jiao and Mu Ning Xue are more like wind-based support characters who don't use the speed of wind to get close to their opponents.
However, when it comes to wind-type attacks, Guanyu is clearly more skilled and faster.
"You can't escape."
A sharp glint flashed in Guan Yu's eyes, and he increased his speed once again.
"Kun's Forest. Prison".
Mu Nujiao remained extremely calm, completely undisturbed by the sharp edge before her.
With a flick of her finger, a green seed fell to the ground at her feet.
The blade flashed, aiming straight for Mu Nujiao's shoulder.
Faced with this attack, Mu Nujiao simply smiled slightly, and then a cyan wind trail appeared beneath her feet.
The wind trail she had left behind came into play at this moment, and she floated backward.
After she left, vines sprouted from the spot where she had just stood, like a giant mouth about to engulf the prey above.
Guan Yu's expression changed drastically, and he immediately stopped and backed away.
The distance between the two widened again, returning them to their initial positions.
