The next morning at 8:30, the competition venue was already packed with people!

Su Bai and his team had also arrived.

Today, Su Bai didn't need to draw lots because only Jiangzhou Martial Academy and Fuchuan Martial Academy remained in the winners' bracket. These two academies would undoubtedly represent Jiangzhou Province in the battle zone league.

However, to determine the rankings among the top eight academies, a decision needed to be made today.

After some announcements from Liao Yuxin and Zhang Kai, Su Bai stepped onto the stage.

Fuchuan Martial Academy sent out their poison-attribute ability user: Mao Kai!

Seeing that the time had come and both contestants were ready, Liao Yuxin announced:

"The match begins!"

Just as Su Bai was about to release Little Eight, Mao Kai unexpectedly initiated a conversation with him.

"Su Bai, I admit you're strong. I know I'm not your match. How about we make a deal?"

Su Bai squinted at Mao Kai, aware that the abilities of ability users were varied and often unexpected.

Recently, Su Bai had been holed up in the library, studying Origin Convergence and examining the characteristics of various ability users.

His mental attribute was as high as eighty-six points, allowing him to remember almost everything he read.

The books described poison-attribute ability users as:

Like other elemental ability users, poison-attribute users could, at the ordinary level, use their mental power to communicate with the scattered poison elements in the world.

The strength of their mental power determined the amount of poison elements they could mobilize and the time required to do so.

At the Bronze Tier, they began to awaken their first innate skill, with each major level-up unlocking another.

Poison-attribute ability users had two hallmark traits.

First, their capacity for area damage. Given the opportunity and enough time, a poison-attribute user could single-handedly massacre countless Myriad Races' fierce beasts.

Second, their stealth. Typically, there would be no obvious fluctuations before they struck. By the time you saw the green mist, it meant they had already gathered the poison elements, and you might already be poisoned. At that point, it would be too late.

To deal with poison-attribute ability users, one could either concoct an antidote or rely on a vastly superior physique to withstand the poison and then execute a decapitation strategy.

In previous matches, Mao Kai had been kept as the last resort in the lineup, appearing only twice, with his opponents falling silently. No one knew how he did it.

This demonstrated that Mao Kai was not weak.

The moment Mao Kai spoke, Su Bai understood his intention.

Stalling for time to gather poison elements?

Ha, as if I'd give you the chance!

Trying to play this game with me!

Su Bai didn't waste any words and directly opened the Beast Taming Space to release Little Eight.

"Boom!"

Little Eight's massive form landed, startling Mao Kai into retreat, cold sweat dripping down his back.

"Bro, I haven't even finished speaking, and you're already making a move?"

Su Bai snorted, "You think I haven't read books? Trying to fool me! Little Eight, Earth Gravity, activate!"

In an instant, a yellow light emanated from Little Eight, covering even Mao Kai in a layer of yellow light.

Mao Kai's pupils shrank; he hadn't expected Su Bai to be so decisive, not even giving him a chance to delay.

Having closely followed Su Bai's matches, Mao Kai was well aware of the terror of this yellow light.

If he didn't act soon, he would likely be sent flying.

The gravity underfoot increased, and since he wasn't a Martial Artist, his physique wasn't as strong as Li Feng's, and he couldn't hold out for long.

"I wonder if the poison level is enough now."

Mao Kai muttered to himself before instantly detonating the poison elements he had just gathered around Su Bai.

A green light rose around Su Bai, transforming into a green mist that enveloped him.

Poison-attribute ability: Poison Mist.

This was the first time Mao Kai had used this ability in the provincial league. In the previous two matches, he had only slightly mobilized the poison elements in the world, which was enough to poison his opponents.

Facing Su Bai, he had to go all out.

"I want to see if you fall to my poison first or if your turtle sends me flying first!"

A fight to the death!

The audience was on edge for both Su Bai and Mao Kai, as both were enveloped in light, the result of their opponent's innate skills.

"So this is a battle between ability users? It might not have the visceral impact of Martial Artists' fights, but it's far more perilous!"

"Victory or defeat could be decided in an instant!"

"Why do you think ability users are more valued by the military than Martial Artists? While they might be in danger if a Martial Artist gets close, their offensive methods are far more unpredictable!"

"This match is truly thrilling! I wonder who will win in the end!"

"It all depends on whether Su Bai can withstand the poison. If he can hold on for just three more seconds, that turtle will send Mao Kai flying."

At this moment, Su Bai felt a wave of drowsiness wash over him, and he yawned.

But that was all.

Not to mention Origin Convergence.

With Su Bai's Silver Tier physique alone, this mere Bronze Tier elemental poison mist was no different from a regular sedative.

Perhaps if Mao Kai advanced to the Silver Tier and then used this ability on Su Bai, it might pose a threat.

But not now!

Mao Kai watched in disbelief as his prized innate skill only made Su Bai yawn. He shouted incredulously:

"How is this possible?!!"

He never expected that Su Bai, a Beast Tamer often dismissed by the world, could withstand his poison with just his physique.

"Smack!"

In the next moment, Little Eight's palm came whistling down, sending Mao Kai flying.

The entire Fuchuan Martial Academy team sat dejectedly on the bench. Although no one understood how Su Bai resisted Mao Kai's poison, it no longer mattered.

Mao Kai was their trump card. If even he lost, the others had no hope of defeating Su Bai.

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "p𝑎wread.com".

Fortunately, Fuchuan Martial Academy faced Su Bai in the final round, meaning that even if they lost this match, they could still qualify for the battle zone league with their second-place finish.

The next four members of Fuchuan Martial Academy were predictably defeated by Su Bai alone.

Once again, he achieved a five-win streak!
