41: The strange space and the panicked crowd

Above the capital city.

The white jade tower floated in mid-air.

The originally pure white tower body suddenly showed specks of blood-red light.

From within the light, a decaying and evil aura continuously emanated.

And in front of the high tower,

three figures floated.

They stood in the air, their forms towering.

Their auras were as deep as an abyss and as grand as a mountain.

Just standing there, they made people dare not look directly at them.

"That Abyssal Demon has invaded the Trial Space."

"It's a Clone, but it's enough to kill those Geniuses!"

"Damn it, their target is actually that group of students."

The person standing at the very front used his Mental Energy to communicate with the Tower of Trials.

Then, his brows furrowed slightly.

"Abyssal Power has temporarily changed the rules and sealed off the Ancient Battlefield Space!"

"Is there any way?"

"I need some time."

"How long? Those students can't last too long!"

"At least half an hour. You know, the Ancient Battlefield Space is buried with the corpses of countless Abyssal Demons."

"This is troublesome!"

Inside the Ancient Battlefield Space.

Lu Hao led the way, "Brother Ming, follow me. There are at least close to two hundred monsters ahead."

"There are even several Elite Monsters!"

Song Ming followed him and quickly arrived at the area he mentioned.

Sure enough.

At least two hundred monsters roamed the plains.

Among them, there were several massive Elite Monsters.

Lu Hao excitedly said, "Brother Ming, please begin your performance!"

After he finished speaking,

a sudden change occurred in the field.

The entire sky suddenly turned blood-red.

The pitch-black ground began to writhe as if it had come alive.

The more than two hundred monsters not far away instantly turned into a mass of black mud.

And merged into the ground!

Lu Hao was dumbfounded!

"Brother Ming, what… what kind of move is this again?"

However, Song Ming shook his head, "It wasn't me!"

Before Lu Hao could react,

the ground beneath their feet slid like a conveyor belt.

The surrounding, originally vast space suddenly contracted.

All the examinees who were fighting monsters in the Ancient Battlefield Space were gathered in one place.

Excluding those who had been eliminated,

there were over a hundred people.

Everyone looked at each other, not understanding what had happened.

"What happened?"

"Why have all the monsters disappeared?"

"How did we all end up in one place?"

A series of questions were continuously asked.

But no one could answer them.

Song Ming squinted his eyes, observing the increasingly bizarre environment around him.

Then he cast another layer of Holy Shield Aura on himself.

Including the previous stacks,

he could absorb at least over a million damage.

Even if a real Abyssal Demon attacked, he would still have the power to fight!

Lu Hao nervously moved closer to Song Ming.

It seemed that only this could make him feel a little more at ease.

"Brother Ming, do you think this might be the examiners intentionally trying to scare us?"

"Probably not!"

"Then what exactly is going on?"

Song Ming shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.

However, it was nothing more than meeting soldiers with generals and water with earth.

His heart, however, was not flustered at all.

In contrast, the other examinees had very panicked expressions.

Only a few examinees remained relatively calm.

Song Ming guessed that those few must be the small group of people ranked in the top ten!

Their mental fortitude was quite good.

Just then,

Dongfang Yi's voice rang out.

"Children!"

"I am Dongfang Yi!"

"There has been an accident."

"The power of the Abyssal Demon has invaded here."

"Their target is you Geniuses who are undergoing the final trial!"

"We need some time to repair the Tower of Trials and extract the Abyssal Qi hidden within!"

"This process will last at least half an hour!"

"That is to say, you must hold on here for half an hour."

"Can you do it?"

Upon hearing this, all the examinees were greatly alarmed.

Someone shouted:

"It's God Yi!"

"Abyssal Power invasion, so that's what it is!"

"I heard that any ordinary monster in the Abyss is level seventy, and we, being only level ten-something, would just be sending ourselves to death!"

"Then what should we do? Aren't we doomed!"

"We know nothing about the Abyss!"

Due to the Abyssal Power, Dongfang Yi outside could neither hear nor see what was happening in the Ancient Battlefield Space.

The situation was extremely critical.

"Children, you are all Geniuses of the Great Xia Country!"

"I believe you will definitely be able to overcome this crisis!"

"Please do not give up!"

"We people of the Great Xia Country would rather die standing than live kneeling!"

His words were extremely infectious.

Everyone's spirits couldn't help but be uplifted once again.

Lu Hao also clenched his fists, "Brother Ming, are you confident in dealing with those Abyssal Demons?"

Song Ming calmly nodded.

The panic of others did not infect him.

While God Yi was speaking,

only he grasped the crucial point.

What came was not the main body of an Abyssal Demon.

But a trace of its power.

This power was destined not to be too strong, so he completely had a chance to deal with it.

Or, to be a bit bolder,

with the damage of his current skills,

any monster below level forty would be instantly killed the moment it appeared!

Outside the Ancient Battlefield Space.

The examiners had looks of shock.

"I didn't expect those scoundrels to be so malicious!"

"They specifically target our Great Xia Country's Geniuses; this is to cut off our Foundation!"

"If this happens every year, the Great Xia Country will be finished!"

Wang Zhuo also had a gloomy expression.

Inside the Ancient Battlefield Space were all true Geniuses selected from across the country.

They could be said to be the future of the Great Xia Country.

The Abyss's sudden sneak attack like this

was indeed very vicious!

"All of you, shut up. In this situation, we can only trust God Yi!"

Upon hearing "God Yi," the examiners all showed respectful expressions.

"Yes, trust God Yi!"

Dongfang Yi was a Genius rarely seen in a thousand years in the Great Xia Country.

He was also the Great Xia Country's strongest person.

His status was very high, and his words carried great weight.

At this moment,

they could only choose to trust God Yi.

There was no other way!

Outside.

National live broadcast.

The live broadcast screen suddenly cut out, and then the entire live broadcast room was suddenly closed.

The audience of the Great Xia Country all showed puzzled expressions.

They didn't understand what had happened.

In the conference room.

Many middle school principals, seeing the screen disappear, were also bewildered.

The screen was fine just now, why did it suddenly disappear?

Even the live broadcast room was shut down!

They keenly sensed a hint of something bad.

"Director, what happened?"

"Yes, why did the live broadcast screen suddenly cut out?"

"Could it be that some accident occurred?"

Everyone turned their gaze to the Director of the Education Bureau, who was seated at the head of the table.

Lu Jianzhong's brows were tightly furrowed, and he suddenly had a bad premonition.

Yunhai City had finally produced a peerless Genius like Song Ming.

If anything were to happen to him in the examination hall,

it would not only be a misfortune for Yunhai City but also for the entire Great Xia Country!

Over thirty thousand points.

This had already surpassed any top scorer in previous years!

Moreover, in the last moments of the screen, he vaguely saw a hint of blood-red in the sky.

It was so familiar.

Could it be an Abyssal invasion?

Thinking of this, Lu Jianzhong's expression became even uglier.

Shangguan Sheng, on the side, also stood up anxiously, saying uneasily, "What exactly happened? No matter what, Song Ming absolutely must not be harmed!"

"Alright, the college entrance examination every year is the most important time for the Great Xia Country."

"It's absolutely impossible for anything to go wrong. Don't worry unnecessarily!"

"Trust the country, and even more, trust the top powerhouses within the Great Xia Country!"

Lu Jianzhong scanned the panicking crowd and suddenly spoke.

"Yes, trust the country!"

"Trust God Yi!"

The principals, hearing this, all spoke up.

However, the hint of worry in their eyes lingered for a long time!
