Chapter 558 Evenly Matched

Xu Yuan didn’t win easily in the first round but finished it fast enough.

He Li had been poisoned and would die if the antidote was delayed. Qin Yang definitely had a cure for him, but he had no intention of saving He Li.

“Boss, he’s about to die; let’s save him!” One of Qin Yang’s underlings exclaimed in a panic.

He Li’s entire body was limp and helpless. His skin had turned from pale white to purple, and it was apparent that his blood circulation had gone haywire. If he couldn’t get an antidote soon, he would be dead.

However, Qin Yang shouted in anger, “This bastard lost on his first match. He’s a disgrace and should just die!”

Usually, he would take the initiative to save his underlings when they were in trouble. This way, he could establish prestige and solidify his status among his underlings.

But he was now blinded by anger and couldn’t be bothered to care about these things. He just wanted this trash to die and let the others go up to reclaim their losses.

After struggling on the ground for a while, He Li’s limbs went stiff as he fell to the ground, motionless. He had lost all signs of life.

Xu Yuan, who was standing next to Lu Yu, felt a little upset when he saw He Li’s tragic death.

After all, they were just sparring, and he didn’t want to kill anyone.

However, if his opponent’s leader was unwilling to help, he didn’t need to be a good person here. There was no benefit in saving an enemy.

“We won the first round. Do you still plan to continue?”

Lu Yu looked at Qin Yang and spoke with a light smile and a relaxed tone.

Lu Yu still felt they had a higher chance of winning in the ensuing battles. He had already seen through their overall strength with his Eye of the Dragon God, and there wasn’t much difference between them.

“Of course, I’ll continue. I will teach you a lesson today and let you know how powerful we are!”

“You have to understand one thing. Once the competition ends, you’ll be the ones in trouble. I won’t let you go so easily!” Qin Yang fiercely claimed.

However, Lu Yu laughed when he heard this. “You’re wrong. If the competition ends and we start fighting, you’ll be the unlucky ones. You’d better be glad I still have the patience to play with you.”

Hearing Lu Yu’s words, Qin Yang gritted his teeth in anger.

“You sure like to boast, huh? I’ll see how long you can maintain that attitude!”

“Liang Yu, you’re up!”

As soon as Qin Yang declared the next member of their fight, a tall woman in a special tight-fitting leather suit walked out.

Not only was she tall, but she was also full of charm.

After she walked out, she looked at Lu Yu and the others with a contemptuous smile.

“I’ll let you guys have the first round. Next, I’ll show you the true strength of the Star Science Chamber of Commerce!”

She stretched out her right hand and pointed at Han Xuefei. “I want to fight with her. I’ve disliked her since the beginning. Who is she to give me that face?”

“You don’t have the right to choose who you want to fight with.” Lu Yu retorted.

Liang Yu clenched her fists and gritted her teeth in anger. She wanted nothing more than to rush up and fight Lu Yu after hearing his retort.

At that moment, Han Xuefei looked at Lu Yu and volunteered, “Let me go up. Let’s see what kind of strength she has to be able to say such big words!”

Lu Yu looked at Liang Yu, then at Han Xuefei. He nodded. “Sure. She’s the second strongest among the five of them.”

“If you fight her, it’ll be a little tiring, but you can still win… if nothing unexpected happens.”

Han Xuefei nodded after hearing Lu Yu’s explanation.

Liang Yu’s face was filled with shock and surprise. She didn’t expect Lu Yu to have such sharp eyes. She was indeed the second strongest among Qin Yang’s group of five, but she never expected Lu Yu to see through their strengths with a single glance.

For just a moment, she respected Lu Yu and no longer had the arrogant attitude she had earlier.

“Come on, let’s end this quickly. Don’t waste time. He said you could beat me, right? So show me if you have the strength!”

Liang Yu said it arrogantly. She took two steps forward and stood in the empty square.

Han Xuefei took out her staff and took two steps forward as well.

Liang Yu pulled out a long purple whip and swung it in the air twice. The sound of the air being split could be heard, and everyone could tell that her whip wasn’t for show.

The next moment, she lifted her long whip and swung it at Han Xuefei.

At this distance, Liang Yu’s whip shouldn’t have been able to touch Han Xuefei.

However, the moment she lashed out with her whip, it extended forward and became much longer.

Buzzz~

With a flash of lightning, arcs of electricity appeared on Liang Yu’s whip and extended in all directions.

The electric whip lashed out instantly. If this whip, which was as thick as a person’s wrist, were to land on a person, it would tear a bloody wound on their body.

Han Xuefei raised the staff in her right hand, and cold air gushed out instantly.

In the blink of an eye, a floating ice wall appeared in front of Han Xuefei, defending her.

Whomp!

The whip struck the ice wall ruthlessly, and with a loud crash, it shattered into countless pieces of ice as they scattered all over the ground.

The whip continued forward.

However, behind the ice wall, Han Xuefei had already disappeared.

Liang Yu’s keen senses picked up on the presence of Han Xuefei in the air.

She looked up and saw Han Xuefei floating in the air, still holding her staff.

The next moment, dozens of icicles appeared around her and fell toward Liang Yu.

Their fighting styles were different. After all, one was an esper, while the other was a mid-range fighter.

In a situation where there was a huge difference in fighting style, there was a possibility that the weak could win against the strong.

If it was a battle between two warriors, two espers, or even two mages, even a slight difference in power could determine the outcome.

However, a battle between two drastically different individuals would make it difficult to determine the winner.

Han Xuefei couldn’t take on Liang Yu’s attacks, as they were fast and powerful.

However, Liang Yu’s weakness was that her mobility was poor, and there was no way she could hit Han Xuefei, who was in the air.

Dozens of sharp icicles fell instantly, stabbing Liang Yu.

Liang Yu quickly raised her right hand and swung her arm.

The long whip in her hand began to lash out continuously, making her look like a top.

The spinning whip formed a protective barrier, shattering all the icicles assaulting her.
