A deep, profound fear!
Ling Feng had no idea what had happened before that led the five members of North Court's second team to adopt such a tight defense to try to prevent Mu Liufeng from advancing into the flag guarding area to the extent that they had to use themselves as human shields.
With it being five against one, this should have been a match showcasing a glaring skill gap. However, the entire arena seemed more charged than ever before.
This clearly showcased Mu Liufeng's unparalleled strength.
"My goodness, what kind of prodigious talent has the Central Court's sword team enlisted!?"
"This isn't even a competition; it's merely a one-sided annihilation!"
Ouyang Jing and the others were left speechless and had their eyes fixed on the figure encircled by the five members of North Court's second team.
"That's Mu Liufeng!" Gu Tengfeng's voice carried a weighty tone.
In truth, there was no need for him to point it out; the Central Court's sword team had indeed only sent out one person!
No defense, no teammates!
In the spectators' area of the Central Court's sword team, seven or eight young men and women sat calmly, as if they had already predicted the outcome of this match.
Although Mu Liufeng was a newcomer who had just joined the sword team, his individual ability had already reached a level where he could crush North Court's second team alone.
This was less of a practice match and more of a personal showcase for Mu Liufeng!
Yue Yunlan was among those seven or eight people.
"So, she's a member of the Central Court's sword team?"
Ling Feng's eyes twitched slightly; he had never heard Yue Yunlan mention this before.
However, considering that Yue Yunlan was the young lady of the Cangqiong Sect and her talent was extraordinarily high, it made perfect sense for her to join the Central Court's sword team, especially since she was known as the most beautiful woman in Central Court.
"This is ridiculous!" Qin Wanwan frowned. "Are those guys from North Court's second team idiots? They could just send three people to block him and one to attack, and they'd win. Five against one, and they choose this strategy? It's so stupid!"
"No!" Gu Tengfeng shook his head. "You're wrong. Yang Zhan is an exceptionally smart swordsman. His ability to judge the overall situation is on par with the captain of the first team. If he's been forced to adopt a strategy of five against one, it means that even with those numbers, they can't break through Mu Liufeng's defense. Furthermore, they probably can't match Mu Liufeng's speed.
"If they weren't defending him with five people, they might have already lost."
"No... that can't be right?"
Qin Wanwan bit her lip, glancing at Ling Feng, and then back at Mu Liufeng on the platform.
Only then did she realize how naive and laughable she had been before. The geniuses in this world were far more extraordinary and numerous than she had imagined.
"This is insane, and that guy is truly insane!"
Gong Cheng, an old member known for his steady approach, looked at the scene on the platform in disbelief and shook his head vigorously. "One person defeating an entire sword team, especially a strong team like North Court's second team? It's impossible, absolutely impossible! He's only at the Pulse Formation Realm!"
A martial artist at the Pulse Formation Realm fighting five opponents, especially a team with such perfect coordination in offense, defense, support, and control, with no apparent weaknesses?
If he could win, he wouldn't be human; he'd be a god!
Finally, Mu Liufeng, who had been surrounded by the five members of North Court's second team, made his move!
His movement art was almost like a flash of lightning. With an impossible angle, he forced his way through a barely perceptible gap in their defenses!
His burst of speed was like a bolt of lightning as he streaked towards North Court's battle flag!
The members of North Court's second team all felt their hearts leap and instinctively chased after him.
They were just one step too slow, and that decided the entire match!
Qin Wanwan was completely stunned.
Ouyang Jing, Jiang Xiaofan, Feng Mo, and Liu Yunfei...
All the rookie yellow-tier students rubbed their eyes, unable to believe that such a movement technique existed that could break through the blockade of five sky-tier students so effortlessly.
It was almost without any effort at all!
As for Gu Tengfeng, Gong Cheng, Xue Xiaolin, and the others, their faces were as calm as still water.
Even with Ling Feng and Li Bufan, could East Court's sword team really compete against Mu Liufeng? Moreover, in the Central Court's sword team, experts of Mu Liufeng's caliber were not rare.
At the very least, the captain of the Central Court's sword team, Li Yunting, was likely even more terrifying than Mu Liufeng.
Li Bufan clenched his fists tightly. What he had failed to achieve, Mu Liufeng had accomplished perfectly without a slightest flaw!
"There's always someone stronger!"
Li Bufan's eyes blazed with fighting spirit. He had been too absorbed in his so-called "Little Sword God" title—it was truly laughable!
Ling Feng! Mu Liufeng!
Just wait, I will surpass both of you!
This was the frenzied roar within Li Bufan's heart.
"What a terrifying guy!" Ling Feng also took a deep breath, his eyes filled with intense seriousness.
This was someone as formidable as Gu Tengfeng!
It was no wonder he could set records on the "Hundred Battles Ranking" and even be dubbed the Invisible War God by the higher-ups at Tianwei Academy.
This guy was indeed so powerful that even Ling Feng felt a tinge of envy.
However, Ling Feng had only been training for half a year. These geniuses had essentially been training since birth.
Considering this, Ling Feng might not be inferior to them. All he needed was time.
Of course, on the sword fighting platform, no one cared how long you've been training.
A win was a win, and a loss was a loss!
In a flash, the North Court's battle flag fell.
With only one against five, Central Court's sword team won the match!
Mu Liufeng stood elegantly on the sword fighting platform, isolated and proud.
His gaze was as cold and deep as a dark pool, unfathomable and mysterious.
"Mu Liufeng! Mu Liufeng!"
In an instant, the entire arena erupted in thunderous cheers!
In stark contrast, the members of North Court's second team hung their heads in dejection, their hearts filled with bitterness.
North Court's second team was not weak by any means, but to be continually defeated by newcomers was a bitter pill to swallow!
Especially this time since they lost five against one!
However, no one thought North Court's second team was weak; it was clear that Mu Liufeng was simply too strong!
Any student who had been at Tianwei Academy for over a year knew the name of the Invisible War God, Mu Liufeng.
"Mu Liufeng will be one of East Court's sword team's most formidable opponents in the future," Gu Tengfeng said, turning to his teammates. "Remember this moment well. If you don't want to end up in the future, use these next six months to train like your life depends on it!"
"Train like our lives depend on it!"
Every member of East Court's sword team had an unwavering determination in their eyes. They only had six months left!
