Seeing that she finally reacted, Ma Che felt a sense of satisfaction and threw another punch at her side. Lin Yao's abdomen curled up again. Ma Che became even more pleased, thinking to himself that it seemed her face was more resilient to blows!
As he spoke, Lin Yao's abdomen took another hit. She curled up tighter, her whole body resembling a shrimp, her back arching. The subsequent strikes were even fiercer, each punch aimed at the most vulnerable parts of the human body—her abdomen, waist, and knees. If it weren't for the oversight of the intelligent system, which prohibited attacks on sensitive or lethal areas, Ma Che would have likely shown no restraint.
When he kicked Lin Yao's leg, those nearby heard a distinct crack as if a bone had shattered. Yet Lin Yao remained tough; aside from bending her leg slightly under the force, she didn't even sway.
Ma Che seethed inwardly, gritting his teeth as he said, "Lin Yao, are you ready? Here comes the final blow!" Lin Yao's face was swollen to the point where her eyes were nearly shut, but Ma Che felt as if she was still provoking him.
His anger intensified as he delivered a flying kick that sent Lin Yao crashing to the ground. Throughout the beating, Lin Yao remained silent, only counting in her mind.
The intelligent system announced: Punishment concluded!
Lin Yao spat out a mouthful of blood and slowly rose from the ground. "Is it my turn now?" she stood up and wiped the blood from her mouth.
Ma Che scoffed, "You still have the energy to fight me?" After being punished for disrupting someone else's match, one could continue fighting without refusal from the aggressor.
This was the first time she had been beaten like this. If she didn't take revenge on the spot, she wouldn't be Lin Yao! At that moment, a flicker of murderous intent flashed in her nearly swollen eyes.
Of course! Since you seek death, I will oblige. I hope you still have the same luck as before and someone comes to save you!
"I don't need anyone to save me; I can take you down myself!"
At that moment, the AI on the arena asked, "After the punishment, will Command Department student Lin Yao continue with the forced arena match?"
"Yes!"
"The application for the arena match is approved. Credits will be deducted, so please prepare for battle."
Usually, regular arena matches only required credits, but this forced match actually deducted credits. Lin Yao's lips twitched slightly.
Then, the AI began to announce the rules of the arena match. It was a pure combat arena. During the battle, attacks to lethal areas were prohibited, as were strikes to sensitive areas and the use of special abilities. Violations would be judged based on severity and could result in disqualification or loss in the arena.
As the AI read out the rules, someone in the audience suddenly shouted, "Lin Yao, be careful! Ma Che might deliberately try to break the rules at a critical moment."
Lin Yao turned to look and was surprised to see a familiar face—Tang Zhi Xuan.
It wasn't a convenient time for conversation, so she could only nod at him in gratitude.
"Command Department student Lin Yao and Combat Department student Ma Che, do you both understand the rules of the arena?"
"Yes!" They answered simultaneously, their voices filled with fighting spirit.
The match began!
With a command from the AI, both combatants launched their attacks simultaneously.
Lin Yao threw a punch aimed at Ma Che's abdomen, but he sidestepped just in time. At the same moment, Ma Che sent a punch toward Lin Yao's eye.
Lin Yao ducked to avoid it and quickly changed her stance, delivering a knee strike aimed between his legs.
Ma Che was already prepared; he stepped right and delivered a horizontal kick toward Lin Yao's head.
Lin Yao effortlessly bent backward to evade it.
The two exchanged several quick moves, gaining some understanding of each other's skills.
Lin Yao realized that this opponent was no ordinary fighter; his combat ability was nearly on par with Xie Zhuo's. However, his strikes were cunning and insidious, making him even more difficult to deal with than Xie Zhuo’s straightforward approach.
This guy had superior physical skills compared to Xie Zhuo and slightly less combat experience. Otherwise, if Lin Yao had taken him lightly, she might not have been able to secure a win.
Having roughly assessed her opponent's abilities, Lin Yao no longer hesitated. She launched her attacks with sharper and more decisive moves.
Ma Che was caught off guard by Lin Yao's sudden and fierce attack. After barely managing to fend off a few blows, he quickly found himself unable to withstand her relentless onslaught. Lin Yao, however, was not one to easily let him off the hook. She first landed a punch that crushed his throat, rendering him unable to plead for mercy.
Then she began to replicate the injuries inflicted on Wang Jin. She broke his ribs and limbs, and then turned her attention to his abdomen, damaging his internal organs and causing him to spit up blood. It wasn't until he resembled a bloodied gourd that she stepped on his face and declared, "Ma Che, remember this. Don't ever provoke me or my people again, or I will make you wish you were dead!"
With that, Lin Yao kicked him into the air, sending him flying several meters high before he crashed back down. She followed up with another kick that sent him soaring once more. After several such exchanges, she allowed him to fall helplessly before turning to the arena's intelligence system and stating, "The opponent has lost the ability to resist; I request a judgment of victory."
A few seconds later, the system announced, "Combatant Ma Che has lost the ability to resist; judgment: Combatant Lin Yao wins!"
After the match concluded, Lin Yao allowed the emergency medical team to take Ma Che away. Without hesitation, she reported the severity of the situation and requested a teacher to come serve as a referee for the match. Once her report was filed, Lin Yao leisurely stepped down from the arena.
Tang Zhi Xuan approached her, wanting to offer support but was met with refusal. "I'm fine; it's just superficial injuries," she insisted.
Tang Zhi Xuan looked skeptical but seeing her determination could only cautiously walk beside her. "You should hurry to the medical office for treatment."
"I still have some things to take care of; I'll go later!" she replied, her mind still on her experiments.
With that, she dashed away like a gust of wind. Tang Zhi Xuan could only watch helplessly as she sped off with a face resembling that of a pig's head.
Once she reached the laboratory, Lin Yao changed into a lab coat and hurried to her workstation. Stirring with a glass rod, she noticed the transparent strands within and felt an exhilarating thrill; it seemed she had taken the most challenging first step in her research on Bai Ye.
She took out a pair of tweezers, preparing to extract the transparent strands from the water. However, whether it was due to the slippery nature of the strands or Lin Yao's unsteady hand from her injuries, she struggled for quite some time without successfully grasping even one.
Feeling a bit frustrated, she instinctively prepared to use her wood-based abilities to summon vines to curl around the strands when suddenly the beaker changed color to green.
Startled, Lin Yao initially thought she had contaminated the materials with her wood powers. After picking up a few strands with her tweezers, she realized something was amiss.
The transparent thread, which felt completely devoid of energy, surprisingly emanated a familiar wood-type energy at that moment. Lin Yao's heart stirred; could it be that this transparent thread could absorb energy?
She brewed another cup of White Leaf tea and, after the thread transformed, she tested it with her mental-type ability. To her astonishment, it too was absorbed.
