He increased the frequency of throwing tomatoes, aiming straight for Li Changxiao’s eyes to obstruct his vision. Then he immediately released Skill 3, pouring several buckets of water in front of himself and tossing a few more tomatoes on top. The next moment, Li Changxiao, whose vision was mostly blocked by the tomatoes, completely failed to notice the trap beneath his feet. He stepped right on it, and then his foot slipped, causing him to lose his balance instantly. Right after that, there was a loud THUD! He fell hard to the ground, ending up splayed out on his back.
This scene left the audience baffled, wondering how on earth that worked? The male host Zhao Lei, especially, was staring in disbelief. Then he quickly came back to his senses, his face filled with shock as he exclaimed, "My god! Student Su Yan’s ’Tomato Omelet’ move is truly brilliant! Just standing there without moving, he casually and happily knocked down Student Changxiao. Absolutely incredible!"
Not only was Zhao Lei shocked, but many big shots in the audience were also stunned by this scene. Especially Li Changxiao’s incredibly arrogant older brother, who was now staring wide-eyed, witnessing such a Xiu maneuver for the first time.
While everyone was still in shock, Su Yan on the Martial Arts Platform immediately seized the opportunity to strike while his opponent was down. Without hesitation, he rushed to Li Changxiao’s side, drew back his foot, and aimed a vicious kick at Li Changxiao’s backside, intending to send him flying off the platform.
However, Li Changxiao was not some weakling; he was a Half-step Legendary Level Being. The moment Su Yan’s fierce kick descended, Li Changxiao executed a ’Grass Mud Horse Roll,’ instantly rolling to one side and narrowly avoiding Su Yan’s Attack. Then, with a carp-like flip, he bounced up from the ground and quickly put distance between himself and Su Yan, intending to regroup and launch another Attack.
Looking at the disheveled Li Changxiao across from him, Su Yan felt rather speechless. He had thought his opponent was some formidable character, but it turned out he was just a complete blockhead. All it took was pouring out some water and throwing a few tomatoes to take him down.
At this moment, Li Changxiao had no idea Su Yan was mentally calling him a blockhead. Instead, his tendency to run his mouth flared up.
"Su Yan, I never thought you were such a treacherous—SPLAT!"
The moment Li Changxiao opened his mouth, Su Yan transformed into a tomato-throwing Goblin, furiously hurling tomatoes at him. He really didn’t want to hear any more of that droning; his ears felt like they were about to grow calluses.
Having been pelted by so many tomatoes, Li Changxiao finally couldn’t bear it any longer. He flew into a humiliated rage, utterly exasperated and practically hopping mad. He clamped his mouth shut and, without another word, unleashed his full power.
In an instant, a terrifying Creature Pressure erupted from him. It struck all the incoming tomatoes to the ground, preventing them from getting anywhere near him.
"Su Yan, go on, keep throwing! Why don’t you continue? Why have you stopped?"
After deflecting all the incoming large tomatoes, Li Changxiao immediately started to aggressively taunt him.
And just then, all the tomatoes that had been knocked to the ground by the Creature Pressure suddenly bounced back up, triggering a Skill Characteristic that made them impossible to dodge. Then, SPLAT! SPLAT! They all smashed into Li Changxiao’s face, smearing him with juice.
The Chief Examiner: "..."
At that moment, everyone present—including Su Yan, the one who had released the Skill—was utterly dumbfounded. What in the world is happening? they all wondered. Are these tomatoes really that ridiculously effective? Impossible to dodge?
