Urban Awakening: I can continue to evolve my superpowers

Chapter 2007

The slender woman made a deliberately exaggerated, teasing remark, then turned her beautiful eyes to Xu Jingming:

"Tsk tsk, I noticed how handsome you were when I watched the competition, but I didn't expect you to be even more handsome in real life."

How about we exchange contact information? We can add each other as friends after the competition?

Xu Jingming's looks were already quite outstanding.

At this moment, he was using a demonic clone, and the faintly emanating evil aura combined with his cold and handsome appearance made him quite charming.

"The champion of the genius tournament?"

The squad leader was taken aback for a moment, then asked in confusion, "I remember it was only a little over two years ago, right? His level has already broken through to the sixth rank of the Star Realm?"

"Haha, this is obviously a fake!"

One team member scoffed, "Even our Martial Hall's top geniuses can only break through from the peak of Star Radiance to the second level of Starry Sky in two years."

He, on the other hand, jumped straight to the sixth level of the Star Realm! What else could he be but a fraud?

"Tsk tsk, is the Eternal Star Alliance now willing to use resources to force-feed such geniuses just to save face?"

What a decline! The former champion of the Genius Battle, is this all there is to it?

The fifth brother chuckled, then laughed and said:

"I feel like this kind of slacker is so bad that even without you guys lifting a finger, I could beat the shit out of him by myself!"

"Academics are just academics—all style and no substance!"

As he spoke, he immediately activated the live streaming option.

"Let our brothers from the Godslayer Martial Hall, and all the viewers watching the live stream outside, take a look."

Look at how we crushed this year's champion of the Eternal Star Alliance's Genius Battle like we were stomping on bugs!

This will also let those arrogant academics know that true strength isn't built on resources!

With that, the fifth brother, carrying his weapon, sped towards Xu Jingming.

The others didn't stop them either.

On one hand, the Swamp Dragon was just one breath away from being killed, so there was no need for the fifth one.

On the other hand, a Star Rank 6 being built up with resources can indeed be dealt with by Lao Wu alone.

"What a pity. He looked so fierce during the Genius Battle, but it turns out he's just a show-off."

The slender woman sighed and shook her head.

However, in the next instant, the figure shrouded in purplish-black demonic energy moved.

There was no warning, no roar, and not even a clear prelude to the burst of elemental energy.

It's simply a matter of taking one step.

“Sizzle!!!!”

A deep, violent, dark golden lightning bolt, containing a destructive aura that makes even the soul tremble.

As if teleported, it suddenly magnified in the pupils of the five people!

fast!

Indescribably fast!

It surpasses the speed of thought and reaction!

The fifth brother only had time to instinctively swing the long sword he was carrying on his shoulder in front of him.

The slender woman had just raised her dagger.

The remaining three were still facing the swamp dragon, not having had time to turn around...

The dark golden lightning, like the scythe of death, swept gently yet ruthlessly across the five of them.

Crackling——!!

A violent roar of thunder instantly erupted.

Immediately afterwards——

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Five soft yet resilient milky-white energy shields.

Almost at the same moment, it burst forth from several people!

The shield shimmered with light, protecting them securely.

This is the first aid badge provided by the Demon Hunter Tournament, capable of withstanding damage from the peak of the Star Realm.

It was forcibly activated when a lethal attack was detected on the host!

The expressions on the four people's faces froze completely.

Jest, mockery, excitement... all emotions receded like the tide.

All that remained was boundless bewilderment and unbelievable paleness.

They instinctively looked down at the shields rising above them.

They slowly raised their heads again, looking at the purple-gold figure that seemed to have teleported to their side.

The other person remained standing there calmly, without even a change in the cold expression on their face.

What happened in that brief moment?

They...were eliminated?

Eliminated in an instant by a single glance? By a bolt of lightning?
