The commentator fell silent for a while .

After a long time had passed, he finally said, “The Meng Chao Chu Feixiong mentioned is also one of the contestants from the alliance of the five universities . He’s a freshman who has performed really outstandingly during the northern offense and was rewarded the Daily Star title multiple times for his ranking on the war achievement rank .

“However, compared to Wang Dao, Shao Jianqing, and the others who have performed splendidly, Meng Chao’s performance has been rather… mysterious and full of uncertainties .

“As the personal disciple of the Ultimate Style’s creator, Gu Jianbo, he is also the future star of the Ultimate Style . He once used the terrifying fighting endurance of the style to fight for three days and three nights in Graveyard Forest and still remained full of spirit .

“But he has also laid in ambush for more than twenty-four hours in the swamp just to catch a Nightmarish Beast alive .

“It is said that including Female Battle God Shao Jianqing, quite a number of freshmen from the alliance of the five universities have acknowledged Meng Chao’s strength . Let’s hope that we will be able to witness the Ultimate Style’s true limits from Meng Chao through today’s tournament .

“Alright, let’s switch the scene to Meng Chao and see what he’s doing…”

The scene changed, and they saw a silent shrub, along with two slanted, withered trees .

At first glance, everything was calm, and there was nothing happening in the area .

But perhaps it was because the camera drones were too close, the propellers caused a few weeds to fly up, and they could vaguely see some hair .

The shrub jumped up while cursing .

It was only then that the audience noticed that Meng Chao was covered in mud and had stuck a layer of grass on the mud to pretend to be a shrub . His imitation was so good that he looked like a real shrub, and no one could see through his disguise .

Meng Yishan found himself speechless .

“Should I delete the livestream link I sent to the groups just now?” Bai Suxin asked .

The commentator said nothing and switched to other fights .

They were just in time to see Chu Feixiong’s defense finally breaking after he took more than ten blows from Wang Dao . His heroic spirit, Soldier, had nearly disappeared .

He let out a yelp and fell down . “Just you wait! Meng Chao will take revenge for me!”

“Is this guy really that confident in Big Brother, or is he causing him trouble?” Bai Jiacao wondered . “He’s making someone as powerful as Wang Dao go and create problems for Big Brother!”

As the one hundred contestants from both sides entered the forest, they fought against each other, and the tournament became more interesting .

At the alliance of the five universities’ side, Female Battle God Shao Jianqing’s swords cut through trees as easily as grass, Panther Girl Wu Wu and her Ghost Leopard moved elusively and pushed their opponents down like ghosts, and the strength of Machine Master Xu Sheng and Gun Fighting Style’s Han Xing caused the people’s views to broaden, and they gasped in surprise .

In the beginning, because Dragon City University did not expect that the alliance of the five universities would be so powerful this year, they were caught off guard .

But once Wang Dao eliminated five opponents continuously, they gradually found their rhythm . The success rate and fluidity of creating spirit energy magnetic fields among the freshmen did not lose to many of their upperclassmen in their second and third year .

For a period of time, all sorts of dazzling killing moves that created a lot of bright electricity flew all over the air .

A storm of bullets clashed against spirit energy ripples, and they created incredibly brilliant sparks .

The steel army created by drones and spider fighting vehicles continuously changed formations . They worked together with heroic spirits that looked as if deities had descended to the mortal world and created a lot of damage .

The spectators were dazzled by the sight and had to admit that after the students were baptized by the flames of war and nourished by spirit energy, they brought the golden era upon Dragon City . Once these low-grade superhumans grew up, Dragon City’s future generation would become even stronger .

The fights between the two sides became fiercer, and more people were eliminated . In just a moment, both sides lost dozens of contestants .

And the outstanding contestants who had “killed” the most people started showing their splendor on the ranking board .

Wang Dao and Shao Jianqing were both leaders of their respective “armies” . They had killed more than ten people . More than one-third of the achievements of their respective sides were made by them .

There were also a few outstanding people who had been engaged in exciting battles, which now appeared on screen . They were mainly the specially recruited fighting course students from both sides, and they had all “killed” more than three opponents .

However, quite a number of spectators were incredibly shocked when they saw something unexpected—Meng Chao had also “killed” three contestants .

“Look, it’s Big Brother’s name!” Bai Jiacao pointed at the bottom right corner of the screen . “He also defeated three opponents, so why haven’t we seen his fights?”

The commentator also seemed to have noticed this problem .

During the next few moments of the livestream, he switched to Meng Chao’s fights a few more times .

But they were all… indescribable .

There were even a few shots that were similar to before . Even if they widened their eyes, they could not find where Meng Chao was hiding .

He was either an unmoving shrub, hiding in a swamp without creating any bubbles, or pretending to be a moss-covered rock .

When a few ignorant Dragon City University freshmen walked by him, Meng Chao would suddenly “split up” from the shrub, swamp, or rock, and wrap their necks with his white sabers and rune-covered chains .

The contact between the parties lasted less than half a second . Then, Meng Chao would fuse back into the shadows and disappear without a trace . He left his opponents utterly confused when they were judged by the system to have been “eliminated” .

There were a few times when a few Dragon City freshmen formed a party to search for targets, so they were not people Meng Chao could easily “kill” alone .

Hence, in the full-angle shots recorded by the drones, the spectators could see Meng Chao keeping his limbs and weapons still while using the movements of his muscles to slither away silently like a snake in the dark . He stared at the ignorant opponents coldly, and if he could not find a chance to attack them, he would leave . He did not show any desire to stay and fight .

His cold eyes made the spectators break out in cold sweat for his “prey” .

As the number of contestants in the arena was reduced, most of the freshmen had already experienced at least one battle . Because of it, a lot of their stamina had been whittled down, and Meng Chao switched his tactics .

He did not attack Dragon City University’s freshmen who were alone or in parties .

Instead, he quietly drew close to a pair of students in a fierce fight .

He was just like a shadow . He was even more nimble and mysterious than Wu Wu’s Ghost Leopard and did not make a single sound .

While the Dragon City University freshman was fully focused on fighting against the enemy in front of him, he revealed an opening on his back, and Meng Chao suddenly flung his chain sabers forward . Very easily, he reaped his “kill” .

The commentator had no idea how to comment on this fighting style .

He stuttered for a long time before he said, “We can tell that Meng Chao is very skilled at hiding and sneaking around . It seems like he’s fighting in the manner of an assassin . He knows how to seize the best opportunity to attack, and he… has a lot of fighting experience . He fights like a true veteran . ”

Just like that, Meng Chao became one of the last few contestants left in the arena .

This was not an easy feat, but it had nothing to do with their strength .

After all, the stronger they were, the more likely it was that they would become the targets of the other party’s attacks .

For example, Female Battle God Shao Jianqing was surrounded by seven Dragon City University freshmen because of how she fought without holding back and because of her eye-catching swords . One of them was even a specially recruited student from the martial arts course .

She got rid of four of her assailants, including the specially recruited student, but her protective suit was damaged too many times, and the system judged her to not be suited to continue fighting because her physiological parameters had dropped too low . She regrettably had to leave the arena .

Even though she did not manage to last until the end, her heroic fighting style managed to earn respect from most of the spectators and netizens . The livestream platform and forums were filled with praise for her . Many people believed that in just a few years, she would definitely reproduce the glory of the former Female Battle God Su Jianqing and become a military leader of the golden era .

Of course, it was a pity that they were unable to witness the fight between Shao Jianqing and Wang Dao, which would have been a fight between the strongest .

Even the commentator said, “I didn’t expect that a heroic spirit user with the help of the Ultimate Style would have such terrifying power . Before she was sent out of the arena, Shao Jianqing managed to defeat a total of fourteen opponents, including a specially recruited student . It seems like the bold words from Mr . Gu of Agricultural University’s martial arts course were not without proof .

“You really can’t help but imagine, if this weren’t a 100 vs 100 group fight, but Shao Jianqing and Wang Dao fought against each other with all their stamina, spirit energy, and all their other aspects at their peak condition, including their weapons, just what would we have been able to see?

“But no matter what, we’ve seen today that a lot of the students from the alliance of the five universities, regardless of whether they’re martial artists, gunslingers, heroic spirit users, or machine masters, have absorbed and used part of the Ultimate Style’s ideals in their fights .

“Regardless of who wins or losses in the fight today, the Ultimate Style will definitely shine brilliantly and will have the right to challenge the Overkill Style together with the Gun Fighting Style, Machine Armor Style, and Beast Soul Style!”

As time passed, the tournament reached its halfway point, and there were now fewer than thirty people standing in the forest . More of them wore blue, which was the color representing Dragon City University .

After all, Dragon City University had a solid foundation and a lot of secret techniques . After being nourished by the spirit energy, many of the freshmen became two-star superhumans, and their creation of spirit energy magnetic fields became smoother, more secretive, and gained a lot more variations .

And the freshmen from the alliance of the five universities, regardless of whether they were heroic spirit users, machine masters, or gunslingers, had to continuously perform tests and polish the rough edges of their fighting style when they wanted to fuse the Ultimate Style into their own specialties .

Right then, their hard power was still unable to compare to that of their peers in Dragon City University .

Most importantly, in the 100 vs 100 group battle, teamwork and strategies were equally important . Even though the alliance of the five universities had students from the military school’s commanding course, they were still made up of five universities, and it was very easy for them to end up acting on their own .

Most of the one hundred contestants from Dragon City University came from the martial arts course, and their teamwork was not something the alliance of the five universities could compare to .

At that moment, there were still nineteen contestants from Dragon City University, and among them was Tyrant Wang Dao .

The alliance of the five universities only had eleven contestants left . Aside from Panther Girl Wu Wu holding the fort, the other three specially recruited students had all been defeated by encirclement .

Of course, Meng Chao was still around as well .

Unfortunately for him, as Dragon City University suffered an increasing number of losses and their number of people was reduced, they noticed his existence and his assassination strategy .

When they realized that he had silently raked in so many kills that his kill count was only second to that of Shao Jianqing and the other top students, they quickly formed a five-man squad specifically to force him out of his dark corner .

They paid the price of one person being ambushed and eliminated, but the remaining four people finally forced Meng Chao into an empty space in the forest . They surrounded him from four directions so he would have nowhere to run .
