The boy and the girl are playing completely opposite strategies. The girl is more focused on her energy than her health and the boy is more focused on health than energy.

But both have their flaws and both have their advantages. Currently the boy managed to get slight advantage over her, by taking this mount position.

He was about to pummel her down, but at this moment, the vines that is holding her down was suddenly burned to crisp as her energy rapidly reduced to dust and a punch flew out as she tried to intercept the boy"s fist with her own.

As if he is antic.i.p.ating this, the boy suddenly changed the direction of the attack and made it land right beside the head of the girl on the ground. His energy consumption increased once again, but at least he landed his fist where he wanted it to land, but for the girl, the situation wasn"t very good as the attack completely missed the target and she consumed a lot of energy.

Before she could pull herself back from this situation, something else happened.

From the punch of the boy that landed on the ground, the soil split up and some vines emerged, coiling around each other and they formed a sharp claw with all of its insides completely covered with thorns and it latched on to the face of the girl mostly aiming at the mouth.

When two fingers entered her mouth, he boy didn"t hold back anything and let the sharp vines emerge from the fingers as they grew faster and faster until they ripped her throat.

*AAAAHHHHH…."

The girl couldn"t take in anymore and yelled out loud.

The boy stopped it and stepped back while panting. He removed the helmet, ran to the side and started puking his guts out.

This is the first thing that came close to having a real battle for them and both of them did great.

But the boy who didn"t care about the aesthetics and risked it all won. But the price is not exactly small if one looked at it.

Even though he has more than three-fourth of his health, he has less than one fourth of his energy left which might not help him fight the next candidate.

Sam looked at the Boy"s side to see what decision they would make and they called this guy back.

At this moment, the second boy came out and took the stage.

The first girl who lost is trying her best to hold her tears back, she is really disappointed, but she stayed strong and went back to her group while she was replaced by the second girl.

The battle started once again.

This time the strategy changed a bit on both sides. Both of them started using the energy and the health with a decent balance and by the end of it, they are both tied as they lost at the same time.

The third battle is a bit dramatic.

The girl who came in is extremely aggressive and from the start, she just stood there, but energy ball slowly started reducing as the boy tried to figure out of what she was doing. But when he couldn"t figure it out, he decided to make his move.

He ran forward and vines followed him with every step and by the time he neared her, both of them are surrounded by sharp vines that a.s.sisted him.

The vines coiled around her arms and limbs as they held her up in the air making it easier for him to attack.

But she didn"t react even then, only when the boy leaped up a bit in an opinion to land a punch on her face, did she react. She looked at him straight in the eye and opened her mouth.

*BOOM*

An explosive ball of flames. .h.i.t him on the head. He fell down immediately and lost all of his health in a rapid pace.

The girl freed herself from the vines and stomped him on the chest finishing him up.

She lost a bit too much of energy for that one attack, but her health didn"t change much. She only lost around five percent at most.

She withdrew from the next fight and the fourth fight is also a tie as both of their health stayed as it was with barely any changes and they kept on using long range attacks which exhausted both of their energies.

They just played a game of cat and mouse.

Now, there are two boys and two girls left. One boy who already fought and the one who didn"t. The same goes for the girls. One who fought and one who didn"t.

While the girl who fought came first, the boy who didn"t fight until now came first from their side.

This time, the girl didn"t use the same strategy as she previously did. It only works once and since the element of surprise is actually gone, there is no way for her to use it on this boy once again.

As she was thinking of what to, the boy who had his arms crossed stomped his foot on the ground and a few vines popped out as they coiled around and created a sh.e.l.l around him.

The girl is extremely confused, but by the time she could react, the sh.e.l.l was completed and there are even some fruits hanging around the sh.e.l.l.

The boy"s energy depleted a lot in a single step. He lost almost four-fifths of his energy.

The girl was stunned. After all that is eighty percent and at this moment, even she has more energy than him.

She immediately made her move as she concentrated most of her remaining energy into a fist and aimed it at the sh.e.l.l.

But as the punch landed, not only did her flames spread across, she even had a feeling that she hit a big iron wall.

The worst part is that after the fist landed, the vines separated a little bit and fist was stuck inside.

At this moment, one of the vines moved and it carried the fruit that the boy created. The fruit touched the girl and…

*BOOM*

It exploded with wood elemental energy.

The body of the girl was forced to absorb the energy and her health immediately disappeared completely as she doesn"t know what is happening.

Before long, she died.

But the boy"s health is complete and for some reason the energy bar didn"t go down even though the fruit exploded.

Now there is only one girl left and she is the girl that underwent the recent event.

She made her move immediately and the excitement is clearly shown on her face as much as in her actions.

She started with a small fire ball which exploded on the vines, but they didn"t catch any flame.

They completely repelled the flames. But she was not disappointed, in fact she is a bit excited as she closed her eyes and slowly a small orange flaming ball appeared out of her mouth. It slowly flew around and neared the boy"s sh.e.l.l. It landed on the sh.e.l.l and just stayed there.

Another orange ball followed the first and then another one followed the second and then the third. The small b.a.l.l.s slowly landed on the sh.e.l.l at various spots and the energy bar of the girl reduced a lot.

By the time it hit half, the girl finally stepped up and ran towards the sh.e.l.l.

She extended her hand slowly and placed it on the sh.e.l.l which opened up a bit and caught a hold of her hand, but she didn"t panic and closed his fist. All the orange b.a.l.l.s that landed on the sh.e.l.l, suddenly turned into small tongues of flames as they seeped into the small cracks that formed on the sh.e.l.l due to the vine movement.

The boy also realized that something is not right, so all of a sudden, the girl felt that her arm was caught a hold by the boy and the sh.e.l.l opened in the rear as he stepped back rapidly.

The girl was pulled into the sh.e.l.l while the boy exited it while his clothes caught the flames that came out of nowhere.

His health finally budged and he lost a bit more of his energy, but before she could rejoice in that, she was pulled into the sh.e.l.l and the vines coiled around her.

All the fruits exploded.

*BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM*

The energy in the explosions is not much. In fact, for people at Sam"s level, it is barely a fluctuation in the surrounding energy, but for the level, the kids are playing, this is a serious blow.

The girl took the full brunt of the attack and when the dust settled, she is barely holding up with most of her energy gone and most of her health in particular disappeared.

Her health was reduced so low that it is barely showing on the bar. She is literally barely holding up.

The boy slowly stood up and caught hold of her with a vine and was about to finish her off.

But all of a sudden, all the remaining energy at the girl"s side was completely gone and a streak of flames escaped her mouth as they enveloped the boy catching him off guard.
