175: A bunch of trash, arrogant Guo Jun!
"Everyone, hold on! As soon as we deplete their Mana, we'll win for sure!" Situ Xing shouted to his teammates.
Hearing this, the new students immediately attacked with even more vigor.
This battle was different from the Ancient Battlefield Space.
At that time, the space was being eroded by Abyssal Demons, so they all faced the risk of death.
But now it was different.
As long as they sustained a fatal injury, they would be teleported out of the War Space.
Therefore, these new students had no worries.
Each one fought more fiercely than the last.
After all, losing would only cost 100 credit, while winning would bring much more than that.
For a moment,
streaks of Spell light rained down on Zhou Jie and Zheng Tao.
Although they were both from White Tiger Academy and had considerable combat experience,
facing enemies several times their number,
they struggled greatly to fend them off.
Even though Zheng Tao cast several defensive skills, they were ultimately broken through.
Both of them sustained significant injuries in an instant.
Their HP dropped by more than half.
"Cough cough, let you new students be arrogant for a while," Zhou Jie said, gritting his teeth.
However, while the new students' barrage of Spells caused a lot of damage to the two,
it also left them in a skill cooldown period.
The two senior students were experienced individuals; seizing this opportunity, Zhou Jie roared and charged forward,
intending to break out of the encirclement.
Zheng Tao followed closely behind him, casting several more skills to clear a path.
At this point, his Mana was already down to one-fifth.
He could only cast one more skill.
If he couldn't break out,
it was likely that these self-proclaimed noble academy members would face the outcome of being defeated by new students.
That was something they absolutely could not accept.
"All Warriors, charge! Stop them, don't let them escape!" Situ Xing said with a fierce expression.
At this point, both sides were fighting on willpower.
Immediately, the Warrior Professionals in the team, led by Situ Xing, blocked Zhou Jie and Zheng Tao.
Feng Yue, seizing the opportunity, dealt a heavy blow to the fragile Mage Zheng Tao with an Ambush.
"Ah!"
With a scream, Zheng Tao completely lost his combat ability.
Situ Xing's face lit up with joy, and he charged forward with his sword.
Zhou Jie's face was terrifyingly gloomy. "Damn it, I'll drag a few down with me even if I die!"
It was at this moment
that a huge green magic circle appeared beneath their feet.
Seeing this, everyone was startled.
Before they could make any move,
thick, emerald green vines, as thick as buckets, burst from the ground and rapidly wrapped around the new students.
Situ Xing, seeing the danger, swung his sword at an incoming vine.
Immediately, he felt a numbness in his tiger's mouth, and the greatsword flew out of his hand.
After the green vine knocked Situ Xing's weapon away, it quickly wrapped around him, encasing his entire body like a large zongzi (rice dumpling).
Only Feng Yue, as an Assassin with high enough Agility, barely dodged the vine's attack.
And then jumped out of the magic circle's range.
Seeing the unfavorable situation, he once again hid in the shadows, temporarily lurking.
"Hmph, you can't even deal with new students, you truly are the disgrace of White Tiger Academy!" Deng Jie said with a look of disgust. Behind him, a group of senior students followed.
There were actually more than a dozen of them.
Guo Jun was among them; the vine prison that trapped the new students was cast by him.
Zhou Jie and Zheng Tao's faces flushed red upon hearing this, but they dared not retort.
Besides, if they hadn't held out for so long,
could Guo Jun alone have dealt with so many new students so easily?
Guo Jun sneered, then numerous ice arrows, emanating extreme cold, formed around him.
They densely shot towards the new students trapped by the vines.
Puff puff puff puff.
A large number of ice arrows instantly pierced through the new students' equipment protection, just as they were about to penetrate further.
A light blue glow appeared,
destroying all the ice arrows. Then, the previously vibrant green vines rapidly withered under the effect of the blue glow,
revealing the pale and frightened new students inside.
Then, the light blue glow suddenly swept, enveloping all the new students, and flew towards the outside of the space.
"A bunch of trash, hehe!"
Guo Jun showed a smug smile, saying with great disdain.
However, even though he looked down on these new students,
the nearly thousand points of credit still made him feel happy.
Participating in the confrontation not only allowed him to bully weaker opponents but also earned him credit.
Guo Jun had been thoroughly enjoying himself along the way.
However, others were a bit displeased.
"Guo Jun, you're going a bit too far."
"Exactly, all the damn credit went to you."
"If you snatch credit again next time, believe it or not, I'll eliminate you first!"
Not only did Guo Jun put on a big show, but all the credit also went into his pocket.
Everyone felt uncomfortable and spoke up to reprimand him.
Guo Jun snorted, not speaking.
Deng Jie interrupted their discussion, impatiently saying, "Alright, don't forget our objective this time."
"How many senior students haven't been eliminated yet?"
Upon hearing this, one person took out a communicator and began contacting nearby senior students.
A moment later, that person replied, "Captain, besides us, there are fewer than twenty people left!"
Deng Jie's face darkened upon hearing this.
It was important to note that only two hours had passed.
More than twenty senior students had already been eliminated.
Of course, it was not ruled out that some new students, relying on their numerical advantage, eliminated some ordinary students.
But the number definitely wouldn't be that high.
Because in previous confrontation matches, it was almost always a group of senior students competing for the final first place.
New students often couldn't last long before being eliminated.
But this year, it was completely reversed.
Senior students were being eliminated one after another, and if this continued, it would completely turn into Song Ming's personal show.
Deng Jie naturally wouldn't allow such a thing to happen.
"Hurry up and contact the other senior students. Tell them to run if they encounter Song Ming."
"Meeting up with us to deal with him is the correct approach."
"Additionally, anyone who cooperates with our White Tiger Academy will receive a thousand credit."
"The fifty thousand credit for first place will also be distributed based on contribution."
"Anyone who can seriously injure Song Ming will even be rewarded with three red-tier equipment by Boss Bai!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, everyone present felt a surge of excitement.
Just participating in the siege of Song Ming would earn them a thousand credit for free.
And there was also a chance to obtain three red-tier equipment.
However, some of the senior students were very puzzled and couldn't help but ask, "Song Ming is just a new student, is such a big fuss necessary?"
Deng Jie smiled coldly at this, offering no further explanation.
Anyone who could solo the Endless Snowfield was definitely not to be trifled with!
To ensure nothing went wrong, Deng Jie naturally wanted to gather as many people as possible.
This would also indirectly demonstrate White Tiger Academy's influence.
He believed that after Song Ming was defeated this time, he would definitely submit obediently to Boss Bai's feet.
At the same time, a certain shadow nearby shook violently.
Feng Yue, who had overheard Deng Jie and the others' conversation, had a look of shock in his eyes.
"What, they're actually going to deal with Song Ming?"
