Chapter 63 - One-on-One Battles in the Quarterfinals
Vincent walked off the stage.
Angelina and the others went to meet him. All of them had won their battles as their opponents were very weak.
They had been watching Vincent’s match from the side.
They were very impressed by Jonathan’s strength. They did not expect Vincent to meet such a strong opponent for his first match.
“How do you feel? That guy looks pretty strong!” asked Chris.
Vincent thought for a moment and said, “He will be a strong opponent in our later matches.”
“Really?”
Chris licked his lips and looked at Johnson, his eyes full of fighting spirit.
“Chris, I have to remind you that if you meet him, you must finish the battle as soon as possible. The longer you delay, the more disadvantageous it will be for you. If you meet him in a team battle, you must not get ahead of yourself!” said Vincent.
Vincent looked at Chris with a serious expression.
“I know! I know! Why are you speaking like Teacher Chris?”
Chris did not pay much attention to Vincent.
“Chris, do you have a problem with me?” said Teacher Chris in a playful tone.
Teacher Chris was standing behind them.
“Yikes! Teacher Chris! Hehe… No! How can that be? You are so gentle and generous, so dignified and virtuous!”
When the others saw Chris stumbling on his words, they all snickered.
Teacher Chris smiled at them.
“I’ve just been informed that from now on, the lead teacher is not allowed to provide any guidance, or else he or she will be disqualified from the competition,” said Teacher Chris in a serious tone.
“What?”
Vincent was shocked. In a national competition like this, they usually had a set of fixed rules to follow. The rules had been established long ago and had always been the same. It was unlikely for the rules to change and there were very few situations that could trigger such changes.
This year’s competition was no doubt strange. The rewards were generous, and the competition schedule was constantly being amended. They even banned guidance from the leading teacher.
Vincent realized that there was something going on, and it was not a small matter.
The other four of them also had blank looks on their faces. Although the changes did not affect them much, the sudden change was still quite shocking.
“For the next competition, all of you must listen to Vincent’s arrangements, for the glory of Quinn!”
Teacher Chris looked at the four of them. The four of them acknowledged what Teacher Chris had said.
Teacher Chris then turned to look at Vincent.
“Vincent, for the special enrollment competition, all the subsequent competitions will be handed over to you. The glory of Quinn is in your hands. You must be careful with your decisions.”
Vincent nodded. He could feel the burden on his shoulders getting a lot heavier.
All the other contestants that heard the news were also at a loss.
“The third round of the one-on-one battle has ended. The drawing of lots for the fourth round will now begin!”
In the fourth round, Vincent’s opponent was very strong. Nevertheless, Vincent still defeated him easily using Flash.
Chris and Avril also defeated their opponents. However, Nabil and Angelina lost their matches.
Nabil’s opponent was focused on defense. Although his opponent’s attack power and movement speed were not very high and did not deal any effective damage to Nabil, he was still one level higher than him.
As his opponent’s level was higher, he naturally had more psionic power than Nabil. Meanwhile, Nabil’s 100,000 Lightning Strikes consumed a lot of psionic power. In the end, the battle ended in a draw.
Angelina’s luck was not as good. Her opponent was focused on physical technique. As such, Angelina’s superpower was not effective against her at all. In the end, she was defeated.
In the fifth round, Vincent’s opponent’s combat strength was much stronger, but Vincent still managed to defeat him easily.
Chris and Avril also advanced, while Nabil and Angelina were defeated.
Although Angelina and Nabil’s superpowers were very effective in team battles, their superpowers were not as effective in one-on-one battles. It was only a matter of time until they were defeated. It was already quite impressive that they were able to make it this far.
In the sixth and seventh round, Vincent did not have anyone to fight with and directly advanced. People could not help but sigh at his good luck.
It was a pity that Avril lost to her opponent in the seventh round over a slight disadvantage.
At that point, only Vincent and Chris were left standing.
The competition started off with 1,818 participants. However, only eight people were left standing. They were all participants from the top three schools.
St. John and Mokissner each had three students left standing.
Quinn had two students left.
Vincent and Chris fought against the students of St. John and Mokissner.
Vincent’s opponent was Brandy from Mokissner. He had an S-Class superpower known as Space Traveller.
He was about the same height as Vincent. His eyes were long and narrow like a venomed snake.
“Vincent, you have been very well-known in our school recently. Thanks to you, Principal Mike has given us one hell of a training.”
Brandy revealed a smile.
“Sorry about that, but in order to become stronger, strengthening and training is the way to go.”
Vincent’s first impression of Brandy was not good. He felt like he was a little too gloomy.
At the same time, the referee announced the start of the match. Brandy stopped talking. With a sneer, his figure disappeared.
Vincent did not hesitate at all. He used Hellfire to cover his entire body.
Whoosh!
A psionic bullet suddenly attacked him from the left. Vincent raised his hand and blocked it easily.
Whoosh!
Another psionic bullet attacked Vincent from the right. Vincent blocked it again.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The speed of the psionic bullets was getting faster and faster. They were coming from all directions.
Vincent blocked them all.
The other three matches had ended. Only Vincent and Brandy were still battling.
Brandy could not break through Vincent’s defense, and Vincent could not catch him either.
Space superpowers had always been very powerful and mysterious.
Sibis looked at the two of them fighting. He then said to Mike with a smile, “Your student is not bad. Let him come to Quinn. He can be my student.”
“Impossible! He is an S-Class student. As if I will give him to you so easily!” Mike snorted coldly. He thought of the time when he went to Quinn to ask for Vincent not long ago.
“However, it is not impossible. As long as you…”
“Don’t even think about it!”
The two of them had been friends for decades. When Mike was about to open his mouth, Sibis could already guess what he wanted to say.
Before Mike could even finish his sentence, Sibis had already rejected his offer.
Mike snorted coldly and kept quiet.
However, he also knew in his heart that the only person who could truly train Brandy was Sibis. This was because Sibis was number one in space superpowers in the whole of Falcon Country.
The space superpower was very mysterious. It would be very difficult to effectively teach a space user if one did not possess the same superpower.
Although Mike was very reluctant to let Brandy go to Quinn, he still agreed in the end.
Vincent was fighting Brandy who he did not like. He had no idea that Brandy had become his junior.
After being unable to break through Vincent’s defense for a long time, Brandy started to become anxious and directly launched his superpower.
“Space Strangle!”
