193: Chapter 0193 Demon-Seducing Powder

Li Size drove the witchcraft motorcycle shuttling through the forest. The unmanned reconnaissance drone's screen suddenly displayed the figures of Jill's squad.

Not far from his location, judging by their speed, they seemed to be catching up to Li Size very quickly.

A cold sneer curled on his lips. He pretended not to notice and continued heading toward the Magic Monster congregation area.

Jill led his team members in setting up an encirclement in the forest. They held the Demon Luring Powder, attempting to lure the Magic Monsters onto the path Li Size had to take.

"This time, I will definitely make sure Li Size dies without a burial place!"

Jill said viciously. The team members exchanged glances, not daring to say much.

Just as the encirclement was about to form, Li Size had already discovered it through the unmanned reconnaissance drone:

The Magic Monster swarm was closing in from the left side.

He immediately adjusted the motorcycle's direction, steering toward the open ground on the right, perfectly slipping out of Jill's encirclement.

Jill watched Li Size's retreating back, stomping his foot in anger:

"How is this kid so lucky! Do it again!"

The team members reluctantly set up the encirclement once more.

The second time, Jill's squad set up a trap in Li Size's path, preparing to trap him with a Magic Net.

However, Li Size's motorcycle suddenly accelerated, skillfully threading through a gap in the trap, escaping the encirclement once again.

Jill and the squad members, who were 'secretly' observing nearby, stared at each other.

Jill's expression grew even gloomier:

"Damn it! This kid has such incredible luck! Keep luring in more Magic Monsters!"

As the number of Magic Monsters broke past 200, the roars shook the surrounding leaves loose, making the team members' faces turn even paler.

Team member Max gripped his witchcraft dagger so tightly his knuckles turned white. His voice trembled:

"Captain, the Magic Monsters are out of control!

If we keep luring them, we'll be torn to shreds. Even Li Size's firepower might not be enough against them, but we won't survive either!"

Another team member, Lilyma, nodded along, tears welling up in her eyes:

"Let us go, Captain. This is suicide!"

The other seven team members also chimed in, agreeing to abandon the plan.

Jill abruptly turned around, his crimson eyes wide like bronze bells, the flames of his witchcraft crackling menacingly in his hand:

"Who dares retreat? My father is the Director of the Personnel Department!

If you dare to flee in the face of the enemy, I'll have my father revoke your police status when I get back!

Besides, I'm not even scared, what are you afraid of?"

He stepped forward, grabbed Max's collar, and roared fiercely:

"It must be because there aren't enough Magic Monsters to trap him!

We must lure more Magic Monsters to surround Li Size! That is an order!"

The team members trembled in fear, no longer daring to resist. They could only steel themselves and continue driving the Magic Monsters forward.

The third time, Jill's squad lured over 300 Magic Monsters, forming a massive encirclement.

This time, to avoid alerting Jill that he had already been discovered, Li Size feigned panic upon 'suddenly' noticing, driving his motorcycle toward the weak point of the encirclement and successfully breaking free again.

In truth, both the first breakout and this one were successful because he had already scouted ahead using the unmanned reconnaissance drone.

But he waited until he was almost surrounded before pretending to escape by sheer luck.

It wasn't that he feared facing these Magic Monsters; it was that he felt the current number was too small—it wasn't time to cast the net yet.

Who knew if Jill, this 'living good Samaritan,' would help him a second time?

So, he deliberately exploited Jill's unwillingness to accept defeat.

Making him believe each time that if only the monsters surrounding them were slightly more numerous, they could capture Li Size and let the Magic Monsters tear him apart...

Jill indeed followed Li Size's script, refusing to accept defeat...

As the number of Magic Monsters surged past 300, the roars washed over them like a tide.

The hands holding the Demon Luring Powder were trembling for the team members:

Max's Demon Luring Powder bag was slashed by a Magic Wolf's sharp claw, and Lilyma was nearly pounced on by a Magic Leopard's sudden attack.

If a teammate hadn't pulled her back in time, she would have already become rations for the Magic Monsters.

"Captain! We can't lure any more!"

Max's voice was laced with a sob.

"We don't have Li Size's terrifying, strange firearms. If we lure more, we'll just be torn apart by the Magic Monsters!"

The team members gathered around, their eyes filled with fear and resolve:

"Either retreat, or we leave on our own!"

Jill looked at his enraged team members, his face flushed red.

Unwilling to let his plan fail at the last moment, he fiercely pulled a golden scroll emanating spatial fluctuations from his Storage Pouch. The scroll was embroidered with the four distorted characters: 'Group Escape':

"This was given to me by my father!

It can teleport us anywhere within a ten-kilometer radius we have previously visited!"

He held the scroll up:

"With this scroll, we don't need to worry about life-threatening danger at all!

Furthermore, I swear in my father's name, upon successfully surrounding Li Size, everyone will be promoted one rank!"

The team members looked at the shimmering scroll; their fear slightly subsided. With their lives seemingly guaranteed, greed overcame fear. Max gritted his teeth:

"One last time... Lure one more wave, then we retreat!"

Meanwhile, the situation on the leaderboard was becoming increasingly tense.

The cheater Arnold's score had already surpassed 1100 points, and Barmont's score reached over 1000 points...

Li Size's score had just reached 900 points, placing them first, second, and third on the leaderboard, respectively.

The sudden explosive surge in the scores of the three was like a huge rock thrown into the calm lake surface of the Secret Realm, instantly drawing the attention of all examinees.

In the resting area inside the city, examinees crowded around the leaderboard, discussing animatedly:

"Young Master Arnold is definitely the final champion. His father is the Governor of Srilan Province; his support is limitless!"

"Barmont's Undead Legion is what's truly terrifying. His score is growing steadily; he has great staying power!"

Occasionally, someone would whisper:

"Li Size's score explosions are terrifying every time. Maybe he'll overtake them in the next second?"

As soon as the words fell, they were met with scorn:

"What good is an explosion? His score fluctuates wildly; it's completely unstable!"

Several students who had already accumulated enough safe points and were planning to coast looked around. They opened a betting pool using points in a corner of the resting area:

"Betting on the final first place! Arnold 1:1.2, Barmont 1:1.5, Li Size 1:10!"

The betting pool quickly attracted a large number of wagers.

Betting slips for Arnold and Barmont piled up like small mountains, but the odds board for Li Size remained desolate...

Until a plainly dressed youth squeezed in and unhesitatingly placed 20 points—it was Li Size's classmate, Jackson.

He clutched the betting slip, his eyes firm:

"He creates miracles every time; he definitely can this time too!"

If only Li Size were outside the city right now. If he knew his odds, he would definitely bet everything!

Outside the city, Jill's squad was carefully using the Demon Luring Powder to form another encirclement...

The fourth time, Jill's squad lured over 400 Magic Monsters, forming an impenetrable encirclement.

After receiving the warning from his unmanned reconnaissance drone, Li Size pretended to casually steer toward a gap in the encirclement and escaped once more.

Jill was completely driven mad:

"Li Size! You just wait! I will definitely make you die here!"

He ordered his team members to continue luring monsters. The number of Magic Monsters grew larger and larger, and the forest filled with their roars.
