"You're so nimble, I wonder if you're the same in bed." Curtis suddenly revealed a lecherous expression, ogling Ophie unscrupulously.

Knowing Curtis's intentions, Ophie still snorted coldly, her body swaying as she disappeared, lightning striking towards Curtis.

Her speed was obviously faster than Curtis, but Curtis's mental strength was enough to lock onto her attack trajectory. At the same time, his greatsword moved horizontally, left and right, creating an impenetrable defense. Even if he was occasionally stabbed, it didn't matter. He was consuming Ophie's physical and mental energy; Burning Willpower couldn't be used indefinitely.

"Ophie, your legs are the most beautiful part of you. These legs are enough for me to play with for a year, and if it's you, I can play for another half a year."

Curtis constantly provoked Ophie. Ophie completely controlled the initiative, attacking from all directions, but Curtis's defense was really good. He would even use his body to actively meet the attacks, maintaining an absolute state, never giving Ophie a chance to land a fatal blow in actual combat. He could be stabbed a couple of times, but he would never allow his defense to be broken.

Also in the Burning Willpower state, Curtis's strange ability to strengthen his body was enhanced, and it was impossible to figure out what his strengthening attribute was. When the rapier struck him, it would only cut a small opening, a completely superficial wound. Ophie didn't dare to launch continuous attacks, because Curtis might be selling a feint. Once she was caught, she didn't have such defense.

"Ophie, are you tickling me? Wouldn't it be better if we tickled each other in bed? Your little hands must be very comfortable." Curtis teased as he fought, "Have you ever enjoyed a man's taste?"

Ophie's expression became increasingly ugly.

Most people could hear clearly. Although this tactic was despicable, there was nothing to say about it. The past S-matches were the same. The Martians were even more venomous. No matter what the means, winning was all that mattered. If you lost, don't say a word. Controlling emotions was very important. In fact, De Poya and Perkins were also very good at this, but the two were evenly matched, so they didn't trash talk each other.

If one's emotions could be easily disturbed, one wouldn't be able to stand on the highest stage.

The crowd was also in an uproar. Of course, most people thought Curtis was too rogue, but it was just talk. If it worked, then Ophie's weakness had been discovered. Moreover, everyone present was an expert. Curtis's defense was so good, obviously he had seriously studied Ophie's attack patterns. The disadvantages of speed types were gradually becoming apparent.

Li Hao and Robbie exchanged glances, then shook their heads and smiled wryly.

"He really doesn't know how to spell death."

"You'll be responsible for comforting her later."

"This, isn't that bad? She's very fiery, whoever gets close is going to be unlucky."

"I have a match, are you going to watch me get eliminated?" Li Hao shrugged helplessly. He really had a match, and it was very important.

Wasn't this bullying? Robbie rolled his eyes. This reason was so sufficient. Curtis was such an idiot. Couldn't he just fight properly? Why did he have to anger Ophie?

"Haha, it's time for Ophie to step down. Her routine has been seen through. Her weaknesses were obvious during S10, and she hasn't improved at all. Awakening alone isn't enough. She must combine it with more powerful abilities and techniques!" Luo Dongsheng said.

"Curtis has figured her out. She can't last more than a minute," Cang Gongtian said in a deep voice.

Everyone would reach the realm, it was just a matter of time, but the key was how to combine abilities to unleash the strongest power.

Ophie hadn't improved.

"Milner, your strength is stronger than hers. Ophie isn't worthy of being in second place."

Ghost Shadow Milner glanced at Luo Dongsheng. As a member of the North Carolina League, Milner had fought Luo Dongsheng, and Luo Dongsheng admired Milner quite a bit.

Milner shook his head and sighed softly, "Why bother? Third brother, do you want to stop it…"

Chao Qinglong frowned as he watched the situation in the arena. "It's too late."

After a round of frantic attacks, the finally exasperated Ophie gritted her teeth and forcibly performed a thirty-six hit high-speed sword attack. Under the heavy consumption, her face was a little pale. Curtis stopped his lewd talk – the opportunity had come.

With a roar, his long-accumulated mental strength exploded directly. His body, which had been struck more than twenty times, instantly swelled. His legs visibly gathered strength, and a burst of air exploded, causing the ground to crack.

Ophie also felt a huge crisis and quickly retreated, but it was too late. At this time, Curtis had already blasted towards Ophie like a rocket, carrying a huge aura of suppression. At this time, Ophie was at the end of her rope.

A desperate gamble – Judgment Sword of Heaven!

Terrifying mental lock-on, plus a long-accumulated deadly strike, this was divine punishment, certain death!

The greatsword completely enveloped Ophie.

Zzzzt... Bang!

A red light exploded, and countless lightning bolts shot out at the same time. A sword with a powerful attraction and suppression force directly pierced into the ground. In the explosion, Ophie had disappeared from the force field, her body wrapped in red lightning. The next second, Ophie disappeared, and the red lightning enveloped Curtis.

Boom, boom, boom, boom.

Along with the deafening explosion, the air surged and gravel flew everywhere.

Boom.

After a loud noise, the training ground returned to calm.

Ophie still stood there valiantly, blood dripping from the rapier in her hand.

Curtis lay in the blasted pit, his face twisted. "Ophie, you… are so cruel…"

The intense pain had completely overwhelmed Curtis's will, and blood spurted from his body like a fountain.

It squirted pretty far… and a lot of it.

Ophie remained expressionless. The best way to deal with an enemy was not to argue with him, but to shut him up completely, or shut him up forever.

The medical staff quickly entered, and after a quick examination, they quickly injected a first-aid shot and carried Curtis away. No one knew if he would come back from this.

Even if he came back, Ophie would still be cold. Everyone automatically made way for her. In this battle, no one would question Ophie's status as the second person in the Federation. It also made people understand that malicious provocation had a price. You could eat whatever you wanted, but you couldn't just say whatever you wanted. This was also why no one within the Six Dragons ever questioned Ophie's ranking; it was always outsiders who felt she wasn't worthy.

Lu Donglei smiled slightly, it was starting to get interesting. Curtis seemed to be crippled. As long as he wasn't dead, it wouldn't be considered an accident. What was important was the process of the game between the two sides. One really couldn't be deceived by Ophie's appearance. Her anger and shame must have been feigned. No wonder she came from Apocalypse.

He had once heard his teacher lament that those who had been to Apocalypse and those who had not were people from two different worlds, even incomprehensible to outsiders. At the time, he thought it was a bit of an exaggeration, probably his teacher's obsession. Now, it seemed he was wrong.

The current Golden Zone and many tactical concepts are actually remnants of the old Apocalypse, but some inhuman rules cannot be replicated.

The Round Table Knight team cheered without reservation, while the Dome Royal team looked deathly pale. Some wanted to retort, but they lowered their heads when they saw Ophie's expression. They didn't know what happened to their captain... this seemed like a good excuse. The remaining four members chased after them. After all, this was the team's style, they were all smart.

"Dome Royal Military Academy, eliminated."

The four members were struck by lightning. Other teams also looked solemn. They never dreamed that the Dome Royal Military Academy, which was preparing to make a splash, would be eliminated just like that?

"Curtis is seriously injured and unable to participate in the subsequent matches. The Dome Royal team has insufficient members and is eliminated," Lu Donglei said.

In the Mid-Season Cup, not only must one achieve results, but one must also pay close attention to the health and combat power of the members. It had been said before the competition that five members must maintain combat power, but Curtis had no concept of this despite the loss of one person. Such a person would be finished in the S-match. After several years of poor performance, Earth didn't want to just make up the numbers this time, but to aim for the championship.

Injuries were inevitable in fierce competition. Although the current physiotherapy conditions were good, healing still took time, and some serious injuries were still helpless.

"Curtis has the strength, he's just too eager for quick success and instant benefits, with his mind full of becoming king and hegemon. It's really the emperor who isn't anxious, but the eunuch who is," Robbie laughed. He was also quite good at insulting people.

Ophie took a victory, now it's one to one. In fact, at this point, other participants have also seen that General Lu Donglei is taking this opportunity to solve problems and confirm the leader of this S-match.

There can only be one leader, not only on Earth, but also in the other three major war zones.

Earth is now facing strife, the Moon is even more chaotic, and Mars is no better, originally the place with the fiercest competition. And this year's Titan also has some tossing and turning. In previous years, the space cities were almost always supporting roles, but this year, they also have several strong teams entering the competition.

After all, the full name of TAs is the Titan and Asteroid Chain United Autonomous States.

Next, it was Tianjing Mech and North Carolina's turn. Li Hao gently patted Ophie. Having emerged from Apocalypse, and being a leader in her time, Ophie's coldness wasn't deliberate. Who would have thought that the Ophie who had just arrived was such a smiling little girl, but after experiencing too much, people would change.

Ophie's cold eyes slowly softened. With those two pats just now, Ophie felt that her nearly depleted body suddenly warmed up. Defeating Curtis was easy, but severely injuring him wasn't as easy as it looked. Ophie didn't plan to let Curtis continue to stir up trouble inside. Rather than waiting until it became unmanageable, it was better to be clean and neat, a typical example of a ruthless person who doesn't talk much.

Robbie also greeted her, "Good fight, Ophie, you have a bit of my style."

"Get lost."

"Okay," Robbie exaggeratedly dodged to the side, not minding at all. The crowd couldn't help but laugh. Everyone knew the two had a particularly good relationship.

But the relaxed atmosphere quickly disappeared, because the strongest North Carolina Rose had come out. For Tianjing Mech, they still didn't know how to fight.

Perhaps Li Hao was strong, but his team members...

"The first hurdle."

"Brother Hao, let me go," Wu Zang volunteered. Neither Zuo Xiaotang nor Huo Ying were suitable for this hurdle. Among the remaining people, he was the most confident.

Li Hao nodded, and Malone patted him hard, giving him a thumbs up. "Brother Wu, awesome, take them down!"

Everyone still had some confidence in Wu Zang. Although the Wu family successor was participating in the Mid-Season Cup for the first time, he was not intimidated in terms of foundation. Outsiders also believed that Wu Zang was Li Hao's right-hand man. As long as he won a small game, the rest would depend on Li Hao.

(Dear bosses, this old man didn't dare to rest. A few days ago, while I was coding in a cafe, I was ganked by a brother on the spot. I'm working hard to finish it in a day or two.)
