348: Danger lurks on every side

At this moment, the First-Year Field was silent, everyone staring intently at the images on the light screen.

Although the "broadcast" on the light screen didn't allow them to hear sounds, the constantly surging Qi waves and the collapsing trees were enough to convey the intensity of the battle.

Especially when Takizawa Hideaki's last three Shikigami, with their ferocious and violent forms, appeared on the screen, everyone involuntarily gasped.

Rank Six!!

After Takizawa Hideaki's last three Shikigami devoured the power of their fallen companions, their strength had astonishingly reached Rank Six!

This scene was extremely impactful.

And the subsequent battle made everyone's hearts pound.

The Nine-tailed Fox could only flee under the Shikigami's attacks.

The Azure Dragon was at a disadvantage in its clash with the Shikigami, barely holding on with its tough Dragon body.

As for the battle between Wang Chen and the Shikigami that found him, it looked even more perilous.

Blades and shadows constantly flashed, and many people present felt that they would be torn to shreds if they even grazed it.

"How terrifying!"

"Takizawa Hideaki's Shikigami change like that after dying? Now these three Shikigami have already reached Rank Six in strength. If more die, won't they become even stronger?"

"Oh my god, with such powerful methods, Takizawa Hideaki is only ranked sixth in the First-Year Field. How strong must the few guys ahead of him be?"

"..."

The spectators discussed animatedly, all startled by the power displayed by the three Shikigami on the screen.

In the spectator area closest to the light screen, the atmosphere was also heavy.

Xu Kunpeng and Ou Mingzhe's expressions had become very grim.

The strength Takizawa Hideaki was now displaying was vastly different from the information they had previously gathered.

"What's going on?"

"Takizawa Hideaki's previously used Shikigami, the remaining three, after devouring the power of their other fallen companions, at most only reached Rank 159 in strength. Only when there was only one left would it exceed Rank 160!"

"Why now? All three have already exceeded Rank 160?"

"With his strength, how could he control them?"

Ou Mingzhe spoke with a grave and shocked expression.

If he were to face Takizawa Hideaki now, he probably wouldn't be his opponent at all.

"This guy was probably hiding his strength before, likely wanting to make a splash and directly enter the Intermediate Field!"

A cold glint flashed in Xu Kunpeng's eyes, his expression extremely annoyed.

As the current top fourth-year student at Yanhua University, being surpassed by the guys from the other three top universities was already infuriating enough for him.

And now, the strength Takizawa Hideaki displayed made him feel an extreme threat.

Being surpassed by a few domestic guys was one thing, but now even a guy from Sakura Country was showing signs of surpassing him.

Xu Kunpeng knew without thinking how much ridicule he would face if this truly happened.

Just then, his heart suddenly tightened, and he turned to look to his front left.

Chu Youxiong was looking at him with a half-smile, and though he didn't speak, the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.

"Damn it!"

Xu Kunpeng clenched his fists, his face extremely grim.

On the opposite side,

Chu Youxiong withdrew his gaze, and while watching the battle on the light screen, he suddenly spoke to Chai Yue:

"That guy Xu Kunpeng is about to lose his composure!"

"Given his personality, it's quite impressive he's held on until now."

Chai Yue nodded, his tone tinged with gravity as he said,

"However, this Takizawa Hideaki is quite surprising. He hid his strength so well and specifically came over to our side to climb the Ranks. His intentions are probably not pure."

"These guys, always resorting to these petty, underhanded tricks. A leopard can't change its spots!"

Chu Youxiong sneered, his expression full of disdain.

In the Myriad Heavens Battlefield, there wasn't just one Human Fortress, but three in total.

Dawn, Fearless, and Unyielding.

The current Dawn Fortress primarily housed personnel from Dragon Country, Bear Country, and other countries in the surrounding areas of the two countries on the Blue Star continent.

Although Sakura Country was very close to Dragon Country, their stationed area was in another Fearless Fortress.

"Exactly!"

Chai Yue fully agreed with Chu Youxiong's words, but then he changed the subject, saying with some worry,

"Wang Chen's chances of winning were already not high, and now this Takizawa Hideaki's strength is far beyond what was previously reported. Wang Chen is truly in danger!"

"Look at the Shikigami he's fighting now. If I'm not mistaken, its original form should be a Rank Seven Blade Mantis. It's likely a powerful individual used a Seal to allow Takizawa Hideaki to make it into a Shikigami."

"This Blade Mantis clan is extremely fast and naturally talented in saber arts."

"If it absorbs the power from the other two Shikigami after they die, its Rank will probably reach 170."

Upon hearing this, Chu Youxiong nodded, his expression becoming serious.

Rank 170 was nothing to him and Chai Yue, but for Wang Chen, it would be incredibly terrifying.

"Let's keep watching. Since Senior Bai dared to let Wang Chen participate, he probably prepared a trump card for him."

Chu Youxiong speculated.

However, he had no idea that what Bai Ziting had prepared for Wang Chen was only confidence.

On the other side,

Bai Ziting, who had always been full of confidence in Wang Chen, had his entire face tensed up.

The development of the battle made him involuntarily worried.

Now, the remaining three Shikigami of Takizawa Hideaki had already exceeded Rank 160 in strength, putting Wang Chen into a tough fight.

If he killed another one next, it would probably exceed Wang Chen's limit.

"Junior Brother!"

"Quickly find a way to locate Takizawa Hideaki's true body!"

Staring fixedly at the light screen, Bai Ziting's heart was somewhat anxious.

"What? Now you know how to be anxious?!"

At this moment, seeing the expression on Bai Ziting's face, Wei Mingyuan asked angrily.

"Uncle Wei, I..."

Bai Ziting opened his mouth, but for a moment, he didn't know what to say.

"Sigh!"

"I should have known not to let you be Wang Chen's guide."

"Keep watching. It's not the last moment yet. Since you had confidence in Wang Chen before, then keep that confidence until the very end."

Wei Mingyuan sighed and patted Bai Ziting's shoulder.

But just then, he suddenly saw Bai Ziting's eyes widen.

"What's wrong?"

Wei Mingyuan suddenly turned to look at the light screen. Upon seeing it clearly, his eyes instantly became sharp, and a trace of his Qi unconsciously leaked out, causing the surrounding air to solidify under the pressure.

Only then did he see that Wang Chen's situation on the light screen had become extremely dangerous.

As old strength waned and new strength had not yet emerged, the Mantis Shikigami's twin blades, carrying violent power, slashed down, aiming directly for Wang Chen's neck.
