**Chapter 97: No Chance for a Comeback!**

**Outside the Game.**
The commentator’s voice echoed, “Martial God Academy is in a dangerous spot right now! The two players who just died will need about twenty-five seconds to respawn, and it will take them at least forty seconds to regroup at the second mid-lane tower… meanwhile, the other three might be taken down as well.”
“If this continues, it could create an endless cycle of incomplete teams, leaving Martial God Academy stuck in a loop.”
“It’s now up to the team’s commander to make a bold, decisive call…”
**In the Canyon.**
The commentator’s observation hadn’t gone unnoticed by Shen Fei. Seeing Martial Saint Academy’s team charging forward, he quickly instructed his teammates, “If we can’t hold the second tower, fall back. Don’t engage in a direct fight; let’s wait for Cao and the others to respawn!”
As his teammates looked at him in surprise, Shen Fei explained, “There are only three of us, but they’re all here. If we go in head-on, we’ll be at a disadvantage. If we all go down, they’ll have a clear path to our crystal.”
“We need our whole team together to make a stand!”
Hearing this, his teammates nodded in understanding.
Half a minute later, Fang Ye and his team successfully dismantled the second tower. Shen Fei and his teammates abandoned it and retreated to the high ground.
**Outside the Game.**
Seeing Shen Fei’s decision to abandon the second tower, the commentator exclaimed, “Smart choice from the Martial God Academy captain! Giving up the second tower is the right move in this situation.”
“Now, both teams are at full strength, so this next battle could very well determine the winner.”
“If Martial God Academy loses here, Martial Saint Academy will have an open shot at their crystal while they’re down. But if Martial Saint Academy loses, they’ll probably get one more shot.”
“All of this was possible because of that powerhouse Fang Ye, who turned Martial God Academy’s one-wave push on its head. He flipped the momentum completely, putting them on the back foot and even taking down two towers in the process!”
“Come to think of it… has anyone else noticed that from the start, Martial Saint Academy has had the upper hand? They’ve kept Martial God Academy under constant pressure!”
The audience felt the weight of this observation, while the mood on Martial God Academy’s side was anything but positive.
Being pushed this far by a so-called “wild-card” university was a point of shame, even if they ultimately won the match. This wouldn’t be a victory but a stain on their reputation.
And at this moment, even victory wasn’t guaranteed.
“Mr. Wang!” the vice principal said coldly to Wang Liang, “You’re their strategy teacher—how exactly have you been training them?”
In truth, it wasn’t a strategy issue but rather a failure in self-assessment. They’d arrogantly assumed they could end it with a single push, only to be countered, leading to a domino effect of mistakes.
Wang Liang, however, wasn’t foolish enough to argue.
Instead, he chose his words carefully, “Principal, this is my responsibility… But we haven’t lost yet. As long as we win and take home the championship, all the glory will still be ours.”
The vice principal let out a cold huff. “You’d better hope they bring home that trophy; otherwise, it won’t just be me you’ll have to answer to!”

When Fang Ye and his team reached the high ground, Martial God Academy’s full team was waiting for them under the tower.
Seeing the lineup, Su Ziqiu and the others turned serious, knowing that this fight would likely decide the game. No one dared make a single misstep.
“Fang Ye, what’s our plan?” Su Ziqiu asked, and the others all turned to him.
Instead of giving orders to attack, Fang Ye surprised them by saying, “We’re pulling back. Follow me!”
His teammates looked at each other in shock, but without question, they followed Fang Ye.
Martial God Academy’s team was left dumbfounded, expecting an all-out assault.
It was as if they’d prepared for a final blow, only to swing and miss completely.
“What the hell are they doing?” an irate Cao Zixiong blurted.
Shen Fei’s expression soured as he watched the unexpected move. “No matter what they’re planning, we need to stay vigilant,” he said. “We hold this line!”
Outside, the audience was just as bewildered by Martial Saint Academy’s retreat.
“What on earth is Martial Saint Academy doing? Why pull back now?”
“Are you kidding me? They could’ve taken the high ground. Why not press the attack?”
“They’re so close to a win! Is their commander even paying attention?”
Even the commentator seemed baffled. “This change in tactics is unexpected, but I’m sure their commander has a reason for it!”
**In the Canyon.**
Su Ziqiu couldn’t hold back her curiosity. “Fang Ye, do you have a plan?” The others also looked at him, eager to understand.
“No plan exactly,” Fang Ye replied. “Right now, we have the upper hand, but one misstep could undo everything we’ve gained. Instead, we need to keep building on this lead and make sure Martial God Academy has absolutely no chance to come back!”
At that, Su Ziqiu’s eyes lit up as she started to see his idea. “Fang Ye, are you taking us to…”
