Eye Cut - Mad Blade - Star Shatter!

Swish—!!

The transparent blade reflected the Lich's frightened face.

The blade cut through the Lich's left chest as easily as a hot knife through butter, easily splitting open its chest and shattering the black-emitting heart within.

Aargh—!!!

The Lich let out an unwilling roar, staggering back a few steps, then suddenly falling backward.

Bang—!!

Before its body even hit the ground, it collapsed into countless shattered bones in mid-air, scattering everywhere.

Killed Lich x1!

With the death of the Lich, the remaining Undead in the ancient city also collapsed one after another.

Killed Undead Knight x11!

Killed Undead Knight x12!

Killed Skeleton Warrior x19!

...

After clearing the Undead in the ancient city, the swirling entrance to the eleventh stage appeared before their eyes...

"Haha, Xiao Xianrong, you did a great job! If it weren't for your [Forest Master] blessing, we couldn't have killed these two Treant Lords so easily."

Cheng Yuanzhen laughed heartily, praising the female priest student beside him without reservation.

Forest Master (Blessing): "You are the master of the forest, and all Treants will submit to you."

- Effect: Within a 100-yard radius, all Treants below the Talent Tree realm have all attributes -15%, and movement speed -30%, lasting for 30 minutes.

In the dense forest, broken trees were everywhere on the ground, and the traces of battle were clearly visible.

Xiao Xianrong covered her mouth and smiled, "I just did what a priest should do.

It was mainly thanks to you, Captain. With one slash, even the Treant Lord's tree armor couldn't stop you."

The burly man Bai Kainan next to him also quickly echoed, "Yes, Boss, what was that saber light just now?

Standing next to you, I felt like I was going to be cut in half.

It was too scary!"

Cheng Yuanzhen laughed heartily and explained, "This is a wondrous item my father bestowed upon me—the Spirit of Gold."

Saying that, he held the long saber across his chest and had a thought.

Buzz—!!

A clear ringing sound came from the air.

Outside the long saber, a golden light blade extending more than three centimeters appeared, emanating an incredibly sharp edge!

"This Spirit of Gold, when integrated into the saber body, can greatly increase penetration and attack power. Its form is a golden light blade, and its power is comparable to a Tier 4 skill!"

Cheng Yuanzhen's eyes sparkled, and there was a hint of smugness in his tone.

Bai Kainan suddenly understood, "So that's it! Gold restrains wood, no wonder even the Lord Treant's tree armor couldn't stop the Boss's slash."

"Haha." Cheng Yuanzhen's face became even more smug.

"Look at the Trial Ranking, we spent very little time on this stage. If Qin Xuan and the others haven't cleared Stage 16 yet, we should be able to rush to second place."

"Okay!"

Bai Kainan quickly opened the Trial Ranking to check.

However, the next moment, his expression became a little strange, "Qin Xuan and the others are still in second place,"

Bai Kainan's voice slightly raised: "But our current ranking has already reached third, and the teams from Jingnan Academy and Xiawu Academy are still in Stage 14."

"Oh? Qin Xuan has already cleared Stage 16?" Cheng Yuanzhen raised his eyebrows.

Bai Kainan shook his head, "No, their record is still at clearing Stage 15."

Cheng Yuanzhen fell silent.

Xiao Xianrong, who was next to him, quickly smoothed things over, "Since the Captain has a wondrous item like the Spirit of Gold,

Qin Xuan must also have a similar wondrous item. It's not strange that they can be faster than us."

Bai Kainan also repeatedly echoed, "Yes, yes, Qin Xuan's father is the head of the logistics department, their resources must be better than ours."

"En."

Whoosh—

Cheng Yuanzhen exhaled deeply, "Then let's put in more effort and clear Stage 16 before them to take second place!"

"Charge, charge, charge!!"

"Take second place!!"

The team's atmosphere was stirred up.

"Huh—"

Suddenly, Bai Kainan let out a surprised exclamation.

Cheng Yuanzhen turned to look at him, "What's wrong?"

Bai Kainan hesitated for a moment before speaking, "There's a team that was just formed today, they've pushed through from the first stage all the way, and now they're at the tenth stage."

"Now on the external forum channel, there's a lot of discussion about them.

Pausing, he continued, "This team is called the Jiang Ze Squad, and it includes that guy named Ye Ze."

"Ye Ze..." Cheng Yuanzhen's eyes narrowed slightly, "Besides Ye Ze, who else is there?"

"The other four are all Freshman."

"That's impossible!" Xiao Xianrong, who was next to him, couldn't help but interrupt, "How could five Freshman push through to the tenth stage in one day?"

Cheng Yuanzhen remained silent, simply opening the Trial Ranking, and sure enough, he saw the name Jiang Ze Squad in the thirty-second place.

For teams like Cheng Yuanzhen's, who aimed for the top five, clearing Stage 10 was nothing.

But the speed of the Jiang Ze Squad's progress was a bit astonishing...

"Don't mind them, it's just the tenth stage, maybe they used some clever trick.

Moreover, the monster information for the first ten stages has already been leaked, so with preparation, a quick clear is not difficult."

Cheng Yuanzhen snorted coldly, "It's impossible for them to rush into the top ten."
