163: Win the championship! Abyss barrier!

Upon hearing Wu Ming’s words, Liu Anran was also quite speechless.

Although Zhu Xiao had absorbed Dragon Blood and greatly increased his strength, it was basically a fifty-fifty fight against them. After all, her cooperation with Luo Yao was not to be underestimated.

Space-type abilities were especially effective against a brute like Zhu Xiao; they could wear him down to death.

But now, to fight Ye Ze…

Luo Yao’s expression was blank, and the scene of Ye Ze instantly killing a savage strong individual in the Star Spirit World flashed through her mind.

Although there would be no casualties in the arena, the attacks landing on her were genuinely painful! She hated pain the most!

Looking up at Liu Anran, Luo Yao ultimately couldn’t bring herself to say she was giving up.

In contrast to the two of them, Chu River and Wang Jingyu were full of fighting spirit, looking at Ye Ze in the distance with eager eyes.

“If we fight with all our might, it might not be an unexciting battle!”

Chu River held an ancient scroll in his hand, his eyes gleaming.

After all, it was the college entrance examination, an important moment in life, and Chu River’s family had spared no effort in cultivating him. This item was originally intended for Zhu Xiao’s team.

But now using it on Ye Ze seemed not impossible!

Wang Jingyu gently stroked the longsword in his hand, then flicked his wrist, and the longsword immediately vibrated slightly in mid-air, emitting a pleasant sword hum, with even wisps of white lightEntanglement around the tip of the sword.

“It’s time to go all out!” Wang Jingyu looked up, his fighting spirit erupting in his eyes, staring directly at Ye Ze.

As for Tang Wei, she silently stood behind Chu River, her hand gently stroking her longbow, her gaze drifting towards Ye Ze.

Luo Yao pouted. Although they were teammates who had shared life and death, who gave them such courage?!

On the field, Wu Ming excitedly announced once again:

“The finals begin!”

At the same time, the entire audience was especially looking forward to the performance of the Panda, who had instantly defeated Zhu Xiao’s team with one punch, against Liu Anran’s team.

Although Liu Anran had no confidence in defeating Ye Ze, a hint of fighting spirit flashed in her eyes when the referee announced the start of the finals:

“Ye Ze, I won’t give up!”

Chu River held the ancient scroll in one hand, then gently tossed it forward: “Ye Ze, even if we lose today, we will definitely not let you have an easy time!”

Wang Jingyu suddenly flicked his longsword upwards, making an incredibly handsome move: “Come and fight!”

It must be said that these guys were full of momentum and were undoubtedly leaders among their peers, but in front of Ye Ze… they were no threat at all!

The Panda slowly raised his hand, still performing the Cloud Hand technique, and then suddenly punched forward.

The force of the punch instantly exploded. Poor Chu River had been posing for a long time, and the scroll he had secretly forced to activate was directly blown away by this punch before it could even unfurl!

Swordsman Wang Jingyu drew a white light with his longsword: “Perfect Block!”

“Perfect Block: When a Swordsman successfully defends the point of impact of an opponent’s attack, Perfect Block is triggered, immunizing against that damage.”

Wang Jingyu watched the punch dissipate in front of him, and a look of joy involuntarily appeared on his face.

But before the joy on his face could last too long, a force suddenly slammed into his chest. He didn’t even have time to react and was sent flying backward.

Bang—!

With a loud bang, his body flew backward, smashing into the ground, his head buried in the earth, leaving only his legs dangling weakly.

At this moment, he seemed to somewhat understand why Zhu Xiao and Cold Maple had looked so lifeless after their defeat…

How many days had passed since the training camp?

Could the gap really be this big?!

Liu Anran disappeared the instant the Panda made his move. With Luo Yao’s assistance, she intended to deliver a fatal blow to Ye Ze!

But as soon as she teleported and landed, she saw Ye Ze’s teasing expression.

“Was I discovered?”

Liu Anran couldn’t help but murmur, but before she could make a move, a powerful punch directly forced her out, sending her flying backward just like Wang Jingyu.

“I surrender!” Luo Yao shouted without hesitation, but seeing the punch already in front of her, she had already closed her eyes.

The powerful punch suddenly dissipated.

Ye Ze waved his hand, recalling the Panda to his summoning space.

Wu Ming showed no surprise at this, standing up to announce: “First place in the college entrance examination team competition, Ye Ze!”

Then he looked meaningfully at Liu Anran and the others:

“Ye Ze is your peer. You should now recognize the gap between yourselves and him. Don’t be discouraged, keep working hard!”

However, upon hearing Wu Ming’s words, the expressions of the others were not very good.

They were indeed geniuses, but how could they compare to someone who was cheating?

That Panda… was probably a Sixth-Tier, right?!

There was nothing they could do about this realization; after all, the Sixth-Tier powerhouses they had seen were few and far between. As for Seventh-Tier… they probably hadn’t even thought about it!

Wu Ming waved his hand, and five dazzling pieces of equipment were delivered to Ye Ze.

Ye Ze wasn’t modest either and didn’t care about the equipment’s attributes. After all, he had the Suit Manufacturing Machine ability, so he could make a set of suits for other summoned beasts later.

Seeing Ye Ze handle legendary equipment so casually, the others couldn’t help but feel a little sour.

Wu Ming, however, didn’t give the crowd a chance and said in a deep voice:

“Next is the final item of the college entrance examination, Abyss Combat Practice!”

When it came to combat practice, everyone’s expressions became much more solemn.

Those who could participate in the college entrance examination and reach this stage were quite capable, but in the end, they were just a bunch of kids with little combat experience!

But as the saying goes, youth is impetuous.

In the past, when they heard about the Abyss, their parents and Teacher spoke of it in hushed tones. Now they finally had a chance to see it with their own eyes. Even though they were somewhat terrified, they were more excited.

Wu Ming didn’t waste words, waving his hand and saying, “Prepare to head to Pollution Land No. 15!”

This time, Ye Ze didn’t wait for Wu Ming to speak and proactively said, “I’m going in too!”

Pollution Land No. 15 was not very far from Lin Yuan City and had already been cleared by the Demon Suppression Army, leaving behind only evil creatures suitable for these high school students’ strength.

Ye Ze naturally wasn’t interested in these small fry on the outskirts; what he wanted were Demon King-level existences.

After all, fragments were the main focus of his trip.

Ye Ze looked up and instructed the Squirrel to activate its ability:

Treasure Finding!

“Treasure Finding: Imagine a treasure you wish to obtain. Consume a certain amount of Source Power, and the power of heaven and earth will assist you in obtaining this item. Probability unknown.”

Based on the several original fragments he had previously obtained, Ye Ze began to imagine…

“Treasure Finding — requires 200 Source Power. Confirm?”

“200 Source Power? That’s double what it took to find the Star Core!” Ye Ze frowned, but still decisively consumed 200 Source Power.

The effect of Treasure Finding was indeed defying, but the probability always gave one an uneasy feeling.

Looking at the excited yet anxious new students, Ye Ze could only pray that they wouldn’t be implicated.

Watching the vast number of new students rush into Pollution Land No. 15, the proctoring Teachers began to converse.

“This is the first time many of these little ones have encountered a Pollution Land. Thankfully, it’s been cleared, so there won’t be too much danger.”

“With Gun King Tong Mo leading the team, and dozens of Fifth-Tier masters, what could go wrong?”

After all, it was the college entrance examination, and preparations in all aspects were quite thorough.

Wu Ming glanced at Ye Ze’s back, feeling no worry at all: “Alright, now let’s see their performance!”

Stepping into Pollution Land No. 15, Ye Ze couldn’t help but look at the surrounding environment.

This place was near Lin Yuan City, a place Ye Ze was all too familiar with, but some once impressive landscapes had already been polluted, turning into a pitch-black appearance.

Not only that, but the air here was even filled with a decaying, dim aura, completely unsuitable for human survival.

“The threat of the Pollution Land has become more severe.”

Ye Ze couldn’t help but shake his head.

However, when the other examinees entered the Pollution Land, most of them still looked quite curious.

Just like Ye Ze’s first time entering a Pollution Land.

They were actually seeing the scenes they usually saw in textbooks…

However, the next moment.

The originally light blue sky suddenly turned into a black curtain.

The dark erosion was incredibly direct, and demonic energy surged out from all directions, directly engulfing everyone!

“You have been enveloped by an Abyss Secret Realm. You will be unable to contact the outside world and cannot escape!”

Ye Ze narrowed his eyes as he listened to the system prompt.

The college entrance examination was of utmost importance, and the Demon Suppression Army on the periphery was not to be trifled with, yet such a change still occurred. It was clear that someone was secretly colluding with the evil creatures!

But now was obviously not the time to consider this matter.

“What’s going on? It’s so dark!”

“Is it an Abyss barrier? No, it seems like a secret realm…”

“We’re trapped here?!”

With the sudden change, the examinees and many proctoring Teachers were greatly alarmed.

Tong Mo’s face was stern, and he immediately shouted, “Silence!”

“Fortunately, we have the Demon Suppression Army protecting us…”

Hearing Tong Mo speak, everyone’s emotions stabilized slightly.

However, Tong Mo walked up to Ye Ze: “Ye Ze, what do you think we should do next?”

This scene immediately stunned the examinees.

Asking Ye Ze for his opinion?

Under these circumstances… was it really okay?

Ye Ze glanced at the black curtain above his head, shrugged, and said, “When soldiers come, use generals to block them; when water comes, use earth to cover it. Just do it!”

Tong Mo nodded silently. Since Ye Ze said so, there was no problem!

......

Headquarters.

Wei Zheng abruptly stood up from his desk upon receiving the news that Lin Yuan City’s signal had disappeared.

“What’s going on?! How could this happen?!”

After speaking, Wei Zheng immediately began to mobilize the Demon Suppression Army and called Wu Ming, as Wu Ming was the person in charge of this college entrance examination.

Wu Ming spoke first: “I suspect someone informed the evil creatures about Lin Yuan City’s situation, which led to this!”

“I’m not asking you for the reason! What’s the situation in Lin Yuan City now? To develop the Star Spirit World, it will take some time to mobilize the Demon Suppression Army!” Wei Zheng said with a frown.

Wu Ming’s tone, however, showed no panic: “Ye Ze went in too!”

“Ah? Then it’s fine!” Wei Zheng’s originally worried tone suddenly relaxed.

Inside the Dark Abyss Secret Realm.

Ye Ze glanced at his phone. It was clear that the signal was completely blocked, and all electronic devices had lost their function.

“I’ve already tried, there’s no way to contact the outside!” Wang Tong said in a deep voice.

A smile appeared on Ye Ze’s lips. It seemed that Treasure Finding had succeeded, and correspondingly, danger would follow.

Before Ye Ze could speak, several powerful auras charged from the darkness.

“Haha! Didn’t expect this, did you! You fools actually gave up powerful opportunities and abandoned this intoxicating power.”

A low, hoarse voice sounded, and then a birdman with black wings on his back and unusually pale skin slowly descended.

Following behind him were five evil creatures with similar auras.

And without exception, all of these individuals had human faces.

“Andre! It’s you! You human traitors of the Free Empire!” Tong Mo’s eyes suddenly narrowed.

Andre looked at Tong Mo contemptuously: “Traitor? Tong Mo, you used to be able to fight me, but now, you are no longer worthy of being my opponent!”

“Look at my spear!” Without another word, Tong Mo thrust his long spear horizontally, the sound of it cutting through the air incredibly harsh.

Andre, facing Tong Mo’s aggressive attack, merely snorted disdainfully. He raised his hand and grabbed forward, and twisted black power directly entangled Tong Mo’s long spear.

“You!” Tong Mo looked at Andre in shock, forcefully using his spiritual power: “Overlord Spear!”

A method that was almost like killing a thousand enemies at the cost of eight hundred of one’s own, yet it only barely allowed him to break free from Andre’s attack.

“That’s right! We have now become Demon King-like existences! Hahaha!” Andre laughed heartily, looking up.

Tong Mo’s face was very grim.

Ye Ze, however, hearing this, revealed a smile and slowly took a step forward: “You said you’re a Demon King, right?”

Andre turned to look at Ye Ze.

Upon seeing Ye Ze’s appearance, he sneered: “What? Are the young people of your country so fearless? How dare you speak to me like that!”

A flash of black energy appeared in Andre’s eyes, and he suddenly launched an attack!

Just as the black energy was about to reach Ye Ze, it shattered with a roar.

The Panda’s figure stood proudly in front of Ye Ze.

When they first heard Andre say he was a Demon King, the examinees inevitably panicked, especially since there were five others with auras similar to Andre’s!

Six Demon Kings—they couldn’t even imagine what kind of encounter they would face next.

And at this moment, the Panda appeared!

This powerful being who had once defeated Zhu Xiao’s team and Liu Anran’s team with a single punch, at this moment, gave them an extremely strong sense of security!

The Panda wasted no words, started with Cloud Hand, and still punched out.

Andre showed disdain: “So it’s a Summoner! Today, I’ll let you know the power of a Demon King! Heavenly Star Demonic Blast!”

Andre’s wings behind him suddenly spread open, and at that very moment, the Panda’s fist also arrived in front of him.

“Boom!”

A strong wave of energy spread outwards, Andre’s wings shattered, and he lay in a strange posture beside the other Demon Kings.

The Demon Kings’ eyes instantly widened, and their voices became sharp: “This, this is a high school student?”
