This battle made people's blood boil. It was even more exciting than the battle between Ye Qiu and Ye Xing.
This wasn't because the battle was more exciting but because of the suspense.
In the previous matches, there was almost no suspense.
The battles were exciting, but the audience knew that the professional players would more or less go easy on their opponents. Even if they could insta-kill their opponents, they would drag it out for two or three minutes. They would go back and forth for more than ten rounds, giving the rookies a chance to perform.
However, this time, it was purely a competition of attack speed without soul skills or martial techniques. Facing Zhan Tianyu, who had six arms and was possessed by the Six-Armed Demon, even Yun Tianqi, who was famous for his swift saber, had to go all out. He didn't dare to be careless, let alone go easy on his opponent.
This was the most suspenseful battle in the 42 matches so far.
Many people thought that Zhan Tianyu could win.
Sparks flew everywhere, and the sound of continuous attacks rang out like raindrops. It was impossible to stop. Within a second, there were ten to twenty consecutive sounds of metal clashing.
Speed, extreme speed.
Zhan Tianyu, who was possessed by the Six-Armed Demon, was like a demon god. He brandished the six sabers in his hands at the same time. The scene was shocking.
Yun Tianqi was known as a dual saber master. No one could compare to his swift saber skills.
Now that he was possessed by the Ghost Mantis, his hands turned into sickle-shaped forelimbs that were as thin as a cicada's wings but indestructible. With the demon spirit possessing him, his attack speed was unbelievably fast.
At first, the two of them were probing each other, but soon, they went all out.
If it weren't for the slow-motion camera, even the audience in the front row wouldn't have been able to see their attacks clearly.
In the slow-motion camera, it was clear that Yun Tianqi had the advantage in terms of attack speed.
At first, Zhan Tianyu wanted to see the gap between him and Yun Tianqi, so he only used his two arms to attack. However, he was directly crushed by Yun Tianqi without any ability to resist.
Soon, the other two arms joined in the attack, but the result was the same. In the end, all six arms attacked at the same time and finally caught up with Yun Tianqi's attack rhythm.
There were no dazzling soul skills in this battle. The two of them stood in place without dodging. It was a competition of attack speed.
The audience in the stadium couldn't see clearly and even felt a little bored. Only through the camera could the excitement of this battle be reflected.
This battle was very crazy. Neither of them went easy on the other. Then, at a certain moment, they suddenly stopped.
Zhan Tianyu and Yun Tianqi stopped attacking almost simultaneously.
The battle lasted less than a minute before it was declared over.
Neither of them was injured, and for a moment, it was hard to tell who had won. It was only when Yun Tianqi exited his demon transformation state that he said, "I lost!"
In this battle, he went all out. However, no matter how fast his attack speed was, no matter how fast his twin sabers were, he only had two hands and two sabers. He couldn't compare to six arms and six sabers.
Yun Tianqi's admission of defeat caused an uproar among the audience. Then, cheers and screams sounded again.
Although there was a lot of suspense in this challenge, the majority still believed that Yun Tianqi would win.
Halfway through the Rookie Challenge, this was the first time a rookie had succeeded. Moreover, the challenger this time was Yun Tianqi, one of the Ten Great All-Stars.
"Double-blade actually lost!
This is the first time someone has beaten him in terms of attack speed. "
Many members of the Assembly of Stars team sighed when they saw Yun Tianqi admit defeat.
Originally, they thought that it was just a show to accompany them. Who would have thought that there would actually be a rookie who won?
The winner was still Yun Tianqi.
In the Professional Alliance, there were only a few people who could face Yun Tianqi head-on.
One of them was their captain, the Berserker Ye Xing. They were simply no match for him.
"Did the Zhan Family give him some benefits or an endorsement? Are they giving him so much face?"
Xie Yixiao couldn't help but laugh, a trace of mockery in his words.
Yun Tianqi was known as the fastest saber user, but competing in attack speed with Zhan Tianyu, who was possessed by a six-armed demon, was clearly asking for trouble.
After all, as a senior, it wasn't a big deal to show some respect to a rookie in front of so many spectators. However, Yun Tianqi would rather admit defeat than dodge. In Xie Yixiao's eyes, he was a bit of an idiot.
The Ghost Mantis was called Ghost Shadow. Not only did it have fast attack speed, but it also had fast movement speed.
In terms of speed, it was ranked among the top even among Rank-9 demon spirits.
Yun Tianqi's speed could be ranked in the top ten among professional players.
He could easily defeat Zhan Tianyu by relying on his movement speed, and no one could say anything about it. However, he stubbornly defended what he thought was fair. In Xie Yixiao's eyes, this was somewhat laughable.
Although the vast majority of martial artists could see this point, to the spectators, a loss was a loss.
There were many geniuses and powerhouses in the Glory League, but there had always been only ten All-Stars.
Each of them was the number one in their respective class.
For example, the number one Berserker, Ye Xing.
The number one Assassin, Li Ning.
The fastest saber user was Yun Tianqi's symbol. Now that he lost, this nickname would be questioned in the future.
In terms of commercial value, the price of today's defeat wasn't small.
"This is Yun Tianqi. This is his style."
Compared to Xie Yixiao's disdain, Ye Xing couldn't help but sigh.
Yun Tianqi's original name was Yun Qi. After entering the Professional Alliance, he added a word to his name and gave it a very arrogant name.
Tianqi!
Equal to the Heavens!
Just like this arrogant name, he was also extremely proud. This kind of pride wasn't arrogance, but rather the persistence in his heart.
Perhaps it was this kind of persistence that allowed him to rise from the slums and become stronger step by step, ultimately becoming one of the All-Stars.
Compared to Xie Yixiao's disdain, Ye Xing admired this kind of pride.
People with this kind of pride all had their own bottom line.
If they could become teammates, it would be very reassuring.
The end of this battle not only exceeded the audience's expectations, but it also exceeded Zhan Tianyu's expectations.
Zhan Tianyu also withdrew from his demon transformation state and bitterly smiled at Yun Tianqi. "You didn't lose. You went easy on me on purpose."
Although he was confident, he also knew that if Yun Tianqi had relied on speed to dodge, he wouldn't have been his opponent.
"Haha."
Seeing Zhan Tianyu's bitter smile, Yun Tianqi also smiled. He was somewhat moved by his loss, but he wasn't dejected. Instead, his smile was carefree. He patted Zhan Tianyu's shoulder. "Since it's a competition of attack speed, then it's only a competition of attack speed. You're still young, so you're already at a disadvantage.
If you reach my age, perhaps you'll win even more easily. "
"A six-armed celestial demon is a perfect demon spirit. I envy it. You're very lucky and talented. Don't let it down so easily."
Yun Tianqi sighed.
He didn't know how the Zhan family had obtained such a priceless divine demon spirit, but since it was a demon spirit unique to the Shenwu Continent, the price they had paid for it was definitely not small.
It might even have cost a lot of blood and lives.
"I know that this demon spirit will shine brightly in my hands."
Zhan Tianyu could feel Yun Tianqi's envy and expectations for him. He nodded and looked in Linfeng's direction.
Linfeng's special abilities and his family's strength gave him the confidence to say these words.
He would do his best to develop the six-armed celestial demon and absorb powerful soul skills.
"Today's battle was very exciting. I look forward to the day when I can fight alongside you."
After Yun Tianqi finished speaking, he raised Zhan Tianyu's right hand and looked around. "The Glory League is very grand, and the cheers of the fans are very enjoyable. However, this is just a process. Our goal is the battle of Glory, so don't immerse yourself in it. Your future doesn't belong to the Alliance, but to Glory!"
After saying this, Yun Tianqi walked off the stage, leaving Zhan Tianyu alone in his original spot with a pensive look on his face as he basked in the tsunami-like cheers from the audience.
After that, the challenge matches returned to their exciting but unexciting state.
On the Hongyun Team, Dong Yunan and Yue Mingming also went on stage to challenge. They weren't strong, so they didn't challenge the Ten All-Stars and chose ordinary opponents.
Of course, even ordinary opponents were terrifyingly strong as they could become professional players and the main force of a team. The two of them were defeated without any surprises, and their performances were mediocre.
On the other hand, Yu Qiao's performance was outstanding. He used an extremely wretched but headache-inducing attack style and almost defeated the main force of the Assembly of Stars team, Li Wenbo.
Yu Qiao's performance attracted the attention of many clubs. This was the first time they noticed this guy with a delicate appearance but a wretched fighting style.
The four main forces of the Hongyun Team all went on stage. All the audience was waiting for a name to appear.
"Linfeng!"
"Linfeng!"
Following the tsunami-like cheers, the name they were waiting for appeared.
"After waiting for so long, he's finally on stage!"
"Linfeng's battle record is brilliant, and he's recognized as invincible among Rank-6. Other than Hongyun University's Throne Challenge, I've never seen him fight. Today, I'll get to see him for myself."
"The challenge matches are about to end, and this is the finale!
This treatment, he's worthy of being the strongest rookie in history! "
"Linfeng loves to cause trouble. I wonder if he'll continue to cause trouble this time!"
"What's going on? Today's challenge is a professional player. No matter how strong Linfeng is, he can't possibly be a professional player's opponent."
Under the attention and discussion of the audience, Linfeng, wearing a pitch-black sportswear, calmly walked onto the stage.
"He's on stage, he's on stage!"
In the audience, Feng Yining held Ya Ge's hand and said excitedly.
Yunkai and the others' challenge matches were very exciting, but she was looking forward to Linfeng the most.
This had something to do with Ya Ge and Linfeng's fame.
"Okay, you're not Linfeng's fan. Why are you so excited?"
Seeing her best friend so excited, Ya Ge was a little speechless. After that, she ignored the crazy Feng Yining and looked at the stage again.
"In two years, you've really stepped onto the national stage."
Looking at the dazzling Linfeng on the stage, Ya Ge's eyes showed a trace of confusion and emotion.
At this moment, she recalled the scene of the Day of Awakening two years ago.
She recalled the arrogant and ridiculous words.
Now, these words have become reality.
Two months ago, with the help of Juxing, the Charming Butterfly evolved into a Charming Banshee. Ya Ge regained her confidence and thought that she could catch up to Linfeng's footsteps.
But now, looking at the dazzling figure on the stage, she found that the gap between them did not shrink, but became bigger and bigger.
"You still care about him so much?"
Xie Yixiao frowned and shifted his gaze from Ya Ge to Linfeng.
In the previous challenge, although he tricked Yunkai and injured him, he did not have full confidence that Linfeng would challenge him.
"You better not challenge me. Otherwise, I will make you lose face in front of the whole country!"
On the stage.
"Linfeng classmate, who is the pro player you want to challenge?"
Chen Xiaodi asked excitedly.
In this opening ceremony, many bright rookies attracted the attention of the fans. Among them, Yunkai, Ye Qiu, Zhan Tianyu, and Huang Tianze had already appeared one after another. They all performed very well and did not disappoint the expectations of the fans. Now, there was only one person left.
Compared to Yunkai and the others, his talent may not be as outstanding, but his record was the most dazzling.
He had the strength to be invincible among his peers.
In this challenge, he was called the strongest rookie!
The person he challenged was a hot topic.
His name was Linfeng.
A name that seemed to represent miracles and popularity.
Even Chen Xiaodi was curious about this challenge. She was curious about who Linfeng would challenge.
Under the expectant gazes, Linfeng did not hesitate and looked in the direction of the Juxing team. There, a figure was also looking at him.
The two gazes met in the air. Under Xie Yixiao's disdainful and provocative gaze, Linfeng slowly opened his mouth and said, "Xie Yixiao!"
Linfeng's opponent was out of everyone's expectations. Before the audience could react, Linfeng's following words made the 500,000 people in the Glory of Glory Stadium boil!
"Xie Yixiao, get down here!"
