The others felt that it was a pity. Michelle was already very strong, but she had met a monster. Very few of them had been able to last as long as Michelle, and some of them might not even be able to withstand a single blow.
"She can't take it anymore. It's about to start," Big Pao muttered to himself. He had not forgotten that Xi Yue had also forced Michelle to use her innate gift.
Michelle's eyes turned cold as she dodged another explosion. The red in her eyes deepened; she had not expected to use her innate gift in the first battle. She had no choice but to use it against this monster.
In the next moment, red lotuses bloomed beneath Michelle's feet. They were bewitching and beautiful, capable of captivating anyone who saw them. At that moment, Michelle looked like a demoness as she stood atop the lotuses.
Darkvoid moved his finger and a black streak streaked past Michelle. Michelle's eyes flashed red as she lifted her foot and disappeared from where she was standing. The void where she had been standing exploded, shaking the ground. Michelle reappeared a thousand meters away at an unbelievable speed. She raised her hand and red dots of light condensed into a red lotus as a bow and an arrow as she shot towards Darkvoid.
The red arrow attracted everyone's attention as it adorned the ground. Darkvoid flicked his finger and the black light streaked across the void, blocking the red lotus arrow's path. There was no loud sound when the two collided, but faint cracks spread through the void. These were spatial tears; their attacks had caused the void to collapse.
This scene was quite shocking, and it would have caused a commotion in any other academy. Only a handful of monsters could cause the void to collapse with the strength of a Melder.
As the void collapsed, the black light and the red lotus arrow canceled each other out. The two attacks were evenly matched.
For the first time, Darkvoid was surprised. His finger trembled again, and another black brilliance descended upon Michelle's head. Michelle dodged with the help of the red lotus, and the red lotus arrow shot towards Darkvoid. Darkvoid blocked it with the Void Explosion, and the whole space exploded. It was just like the beginning, but the power was on a completely different level.
The two's battle covered a large area, and their attacks were frequent. The onlookers felt their scalps go numb as not many dared to come into contact with such an attack. Even ordinary Limiteers from the Astral Combat Academy would find it difficult to escape unscathed.
Suddenly, a red lotus arrow was shattered by the void explosion. Everyone was shocked; was the victor about to be decided?
The spatial explosion swept towards Michelle and swallowed her in the blink of an eye. Everyone's faces paled. Not good, Michelle's life was in danger.
However, no one came to his rescue because in the next second, another Michelle appeared behind Darkvoid. She stepped on a red lotus and aimed an arrow at Darkvoid before shooting it out.
Darkvoid's attention was focused on the other Michelle. He didn't expect another Michelle to appear behind him. This wasn't extreme speed, but rather a clone. The Michelle that had been swallowed by the Void Explosion turned into Red Lotus petals and shattered. Behind him, a Red Lotus Arrow shot out and hit Darkvoid.
Everyone was dumbfounded. They were shocked by Michelle's talent, but they were also looking forward to the outcome of the battle. There was no need to doubt Michelle's strength. Being struck by her at such a close range, it should be over.
With a loud bang, Darkvoid's body was sent flying dozens of meters away. He fell to the ground, causing a cloud of dust to rise into the sky.
Everyone was silent as they stared at this scene.
Both Big Pao and Small Pao were watching. They could not easily decide the outcome of this battle.
Michelle frowned. This battle had been too difficult. Her arrow just now should have been enough to decide the outcome, but for some reason, she felt that it was a bit lacking.
Everyone watched on. Not long after, a soft sound rang out. Within the cloud of dust, Darkvoid pressed his hand against the ground and slowly stood up. Everyone felt a chill run down their backs. He was still fine?
No way, he's so abnormal!
Michelle clenched her right fist. Her red eyes glowed brightly as she stared at Darkvoid within the cloud of dust.
Darkvoid slowly walked out with an indifferent expression. Looking at his body, there wasn't a single wound. Only the clothes on his back were torn, revealing the tattoo of three green leaves.
"Shamrock Enterprises?" Zora cried out.
Everyone stared at Darkvoid's back. The tattoo on his back was the logo of Shamrock Enterprises.
Michelle was surprised. Shamrock Enterprises. So this person was from Shamrock Enterprises.
"Rumor has it that Shamrock Enterprises specializes in finding geniuses in the universe and allowing them to grow freely. They'll only be recalled once they reach a certain level. I didn't think that it was true. This person is a genius discovered by Shamrock Enterprises, and they call him a seed," Zora said with a serious expression.
As members of the Windrift Hall, which was similar to Shamrock Enterprises, they understood the enormous company very well. It was precisely because of this that they knew how terrifying a seed was. Every seed chosen by Shamrock Enterprises was an absolute genius, and once they matured, they would be terrifying.
Michelle had obviously heard of this rumor as well, and her face paled. The person in front of her was a seed of Shamrock Enterprises. She had heard from her sister that Shamrock Enterprises was a colossus in the universe, and being chosen as a seed was a hundred times more difficult than entering the Astral Combat Academy.
Darkvoid faced Michelle and raised his hand again.
Michelle shook her head and bitterly said, "There's no need to fight. I admit defeat."
Everyone was shocked.
Lu Yin sighed; Michelle had used up all of her star energy. Her innate gift was very powerful, but it also consumed a lot of star energy. On the other hand, Darkvoid's innate gift did not consume much star energy at all. What a terrifying innate gift.
"Darkvoid wins the sixth match," Big Pao announced.
At this point, the six matches had ended, and the victors were Xia Luo, Lulu Mavis, Silver, Zhao Yilong, Lu Yin, and Darkvoid. This result was somewhat surprising; Hui Daynight and Michelle's defeats had been unexpected, but Xia Luo and Silver's strength had exceeded everyone's expectations. These two had remained silent ever since entering the academy, and they had barely fought in ported battles.
Darkvoid was also terrifyingly strong.
When they thought of Darkvoid, everyone subconsciously looked at Lu Yin. If nothing unexpected happened, he would be Darkvoid's opponent in the second match.
"Brother Lu, it's okay to lose. He'll catch up in the future," Coco consoled as she tugged at his arm.
Lu Yin was speechless. "He might not lose."
Coco pursed her lips. "Even Sister Michelle's terrifying attack didn't hurt him at all. There shouldn't be anyone who can beat him."
Lu Yin laughed. He didn't know how many people had noticed, but it wasn't that Michelle's attack hadn't hurt Darkvoid. He had just blocked it. There was a layer of protection on his back, and that arrow hadn't even touched him. More accurately, that arrow hadn't been powerful enough to break through that layer of protection.
Michelle's strength had been overestimated. She had only been able to create spatial tears because of Darkvoid's innate gift, and she couldn't have done it on her own. Otherwise, she wouldn't have stayed in the rain for so long to obtain the Rainmaster's gift. Lu Yin didn't feel the need to explain this to her.
"Cough, cough. In order to not waste time, the tournament will continue. The seventh match, Xia Luo versus Lulu Mavis, begin," Big Pao announced.
Xia Luo walked down the stage and looked at Lulu warmly.
Lulu bumped her fists together, causing a series of thumping sounds. She was clearly a cute girl, but her style was very valiant.
Every time he saw Lulu's eager expression, he was reminded of that sea turtle from Earth. This girl was truly fearless.
"Be careful, this isn't a spar, so I won't hold back," Lulu provoked, looking at Xia Luo.
Xia Luo smiled, "You didn't hold back during the spar either, but you've become a Melder and are even stronger. You have to be careful."
Lulu flung her long hair and charged at Xia Luo, causing the ground to crack and creating a shocking explosion. Xia Luo's eyes flashed, and he took two steps back to avoid the attack. Lulu's fist struck the void, causing the air to conical and distort. Xia Luo's hair was blown back by the shockwave, and he took a few more steps back.
Lulu snorted, and White Flash disappeared. When she reappeared, she kicked out with a dull thud. Xia Luo raised his own leg as well, and the two collided. There was a thump as the ground shattered without warning, and both of them sank into the ground at the same time. A huge crack spread out from the crater until it reached their feet.
The crowd was shocked; both of them hadn't used any battle techniques, so how could they be so powerful?
Michelle was shocked; she could feel the pressure from the shockwaves. These two were very strong.
Boom! Boom!
Boom! The ground trembled as the cracks expanded. The group was forced to hover in the air as they watched the ground shatter. This level of destruction was comparable to the one caused by Michelle and Darkvoid's battle. The only difference was that Michelle and Darkvoid had attacked from afar, while Xia Luo and Lulu had fought in close combat.
Boom!
Lulu was shocked by the collision. She knew from their first battle that Xia Luo had a strong ability to weaken star energy, much stronger than when he had sparred with her. She hadn't used star energy at all and had only competed with physical strength, but Xia Luo had actually withstood her attack. She was from the Mavis family, and she was unwilling to lose to him in a contest of strength. If Xia Luo won, it would be even more humiliating; the Mavis family had never suffered such a loss before.
Lulu shouted, and the phantom of a towering tree appeared behind her. Her strength suddenly increased, and she sent Xia Luo flying with a single punch. She appeared in front of him with a white flash and punched him in the face. Xia Luo was sent crashing into the ground, and the ground within a kilometer was pulverized. The shockwaves spread out in all directions with Xia Luo at the center.
This attack was more destructive than all the previous battles combined, and the ground within a kilometer could no longer withstand it. A huge crater appeared as dust and smoke rose into the sky.
Coco covered her mouth, "That's terrifying."
Lu Yin's brows rose; her strength was even greater than before. The Mavis family members were all human-shaped tyrannosauruses!
Floating in the air, Lulu's expression turned ugly as she looked back at the crowd. "I lost."
Everyone was shocked; she lost?
What did that mean?
At this moment, Xia Luo patted his clothes with a bitter smile and looked at Lulu, "Couldn't you have used a little less strength? You almost broke me."
Lulu rolled her eyes at him, "Why are you still talking so much when you've already won?"
From the crowd, Big Pao announced, "The winner of the seventh match is Xia Luo."
Everyone was puzzled, and even Michelle couldn't tell what had happened.
Lu Yin stared at Lulu's neck, where there was a faint red wound. It wasn't bleeding, but if it had been any deeper, Lulu's neck would have been gone. This was Xia Luo's attack, but when had he attacked?
He hadn't seen it clearly.
