250: Reproduction! Hatake Zhao Gongming!

"I'm going!"

"Damn!"

"You bastard!"

"That dog-like scoundrel is truly inhumane!"

The moment the shrinking circle information appeared on the map, everyone on all three battlefields received a notification.

Those who were fighting continued to fight, while those who weren't immediately opened their maps to check.

Upon seeing the shrinking circle information, almost everyone who saw it froze for a moment, then burst into angry curses.

"He's really not human!"

Listening to the constant curses coming from the screen, Jin Lingyu was also very happy.

He had set all the safe zones for the three battlefields.

His goal was to hear the sounds of the Students breaking down.

Now, his wish had come true.

"You're really a dog, aren't you?"

Seeing this, Li Yueying couldn't help but shake her head, sighing helplessly.

"Hehe."

Jin Lingyu chuckled, "This is a surprise I prepared for them from the very beginning. How could I not let them accept it?"

From the very start of the match, Jin Lingyu had already made preparations.

Although the spawn locations were random and he couldn't choose them, he could choose the proportion of various areas.

For example, if a map had a middle area plus four corners, making a total of five regions.

He would leave one corner, then put 80% of the spawns in the other three corners, 15% in the middle, and 5% in the chosen corner.

Thus, the corner he chose, with the 5% spawn ratio, would be the safe zone.

His intention with this move was clearly to make everyone move around and not just hide in one place waiting for the match to end.

But as Li Yueying said, this behavior was truly too 'dog-like'.

It should be known that if all areas of this map accounted for 100%, then the first safe zone would only be 30% of the total.

His action directly resulted in basically 80% of the people across the entire map needing to move.

After all, when the "poison circle" appeared and started shrinking, there would be no Star Power within it.

If they didn't run, they could only wait for death!

"This is truly a 'heaven's wrath' circle."

Upon seeing the safe zone information, Mu Qianshan couldn't help but feel a little despair.

The safe zone was in the northeast corner of the map.

And their spawn point was in the southwest corner.

It was truly a diagonal, wasn't it?

How were they supposed to play this?!

"No choice, let's run."

Jiang Yuan was also a bit helpless, but he could only reluctantly start "running from the poison."

The place they were currently in was a mountain forest, very far from the safe zone.

They hadn't even reached the middle area yet.

But thankfully, there were still twelve hours until the poison circle started appearing, which should be enough time.

Plus, the poison circle would advance gradually, so they still had some time.

"Shall we depart then?"

"Depart."

After Jiang Yuan nodded, the group started running again.

The Unicorn Dark Smoke Beast was fast, and the Wind Fire Wheels were also fast.

For speed, Jiang Yuan also recalled Shi Ji and Zhao Gongming into their Skill Cards, taking Mu Qianshan with him, and letting Nezha follow along.

Along the way, Jiang Yuan and Nezha had no intention of stopping, relying on the speed of the Unicorn Dark Smoke Beast and the Wind Fire Wheels.

If they encountered people, Nezha would casually go up and strike with his spear. If he could kill them, that was good; if not, they wouldn't linger in battle and would leave directly.

Of course, those with Great Beam strength were very difficult for Nezha to take down in one hit.

However, for those with Jiang Lou strength, it was very difficult for Nezha not to take them down in one hit.

Because the quality of the Unicorn Dark Smoke Beast and Wind Fire Wheels had increased, their regular speed and burst speed had once again improved significantly, so even people with Great Beam (Mid Stage) strength found it very difficult to catch up to Jiang Yuan and his group.

After all, their usual speed was very fast. After Nezha's sudden attack, they immediately left.

Many people simply couldn't react and catch up; Jiang Yuan and Nezha had already opened up a significant distance.

However…

"Such a long-range attack?"

After casually shattering the lightning arrow that shot over, Nezha couldn't help but be a little surprised.

He shaded his eyes with his hand, looking at the young man in the distance who had just been struck by his Qiankun Circle and looked disheveled, and spoke.

"Indeed, that distance must be over five thousand meters."

Jiang Yuan also nodded. Seeing another black, glittering small dot appear in the distance, his eyes suddenly lit up, and a purple quality Skill Card appeared in his hand.

The next second, Zhao Gongming appeared in front of Jiang Yuan.

A black lightning arrow shot over again, but it was still easily parried by Nezha.

"Can it be done?"

"Wait one more time."

Zhao Gongming still spoke with a calm demeanor, looking at the black light dot flashing again in the distance and smiling.

"Good."

Jiang Yuan nodded, and then a black lightning arrow shot over again.

Ren Liwei was very annoyed. He was running fine, when suddenly a golden bracelet struck him on the back of his head.

Although he didn't suffer any damage due to the presence of defensive equipment, the powerful force still pushed his defensive equipment, causing him to land face first.

After all, the defensive equipment on him was not Energy-based defensive equipment.

This instantly made him a bit furious. There wasn't just him around; if you did this, wouldn't he lose face?

Just as he was about to get up and counterattack with his teammates, he found that the opponent had already run far away.

Ren Liwei instantly exploded. You hit me and you still want to run?!

The purple quality Skill Card [Thunderstorm] was activated, and a lightning longbow formed from purple lightning appeared in his hand.

Then, another purple quality Skill Card appeared in Ren Liwei's hand.

Black lightning transformed into an arrow, shooting directly towards the opponent.

However, not only were the first two attacks resolved by the opponent, but the opponent stood there without leaving, as if waiting for his third attack.

Could he tolerate this?

Ren Liwei unhesitatingly drew his bow and shot again. A black lightning arrow was released once more, flying towards Nezha at an extremely fast speed.

Although theoretically, the arrow shot by his Skill Card was very fast and basically difficult for the opponent to block, they could only choose to use defensive equipment or defensive skills to resist the attack.

However...

Nezha, somewhat bored, once again used the Fire Tipped Spear in his hand to deflect the lightning arrow.

"Boom!"

With an explosion, three slightly scorched small pits had appeared beside Nezha.

"Still not giving up, huh? I'll smash you to death later."

Nezha muttered to himself, while a ball of purple lightning suddenly appeared in Zhao Gongming's hand.

The next second, the purple lightning transformed into an arrow.

Then, a ball of black lightning also appeared in Zhao Gongming's hand. The moment he drew his bow and shot, the black lightning transformed into an arrow.

"This arrow, Instant Flash!"

The moment Zhao Gongming spoke, the arrow in his hand shot out violently, aiming directly at Ren Liwei.

"Holy crap!"

Ren Liwei looked at the very familiar attack flying towards him in the air, and his heart couldn't help but be startled.

Facing "his own" attack, Ren Liwei was still very self-aware.

He had no intention of dodging at all.

With his speed and ability, he simply couldn't dodge this attack.

Although the attack power of [Instant Flash] wasn't very strong, its speed was truly fast.

This was why he was so surprised when the opponent easily blocked his attack just now.

"Does the Instant Flash Skill have any special effects?"

Jiang Yuan was a bit curious, "It's not just fast and long-ranged, is it?"

"After hitting, there's a certain probability of inflicting a paralysis effect on the opponent. The paralysis effect can slow down the opponent's speed, and there's a certain chance of causing a rigid state at regular intervals."

"Oh, it's a control Skill too!"

Jiang Yuan was a little happy. As everyone knew, what their current team lacked were control-type Skills.

Nezha's Huntian Ribbon certainly didn't count; for Nezha, the Huntian Ribbon was more of a defensive Skill.

Although illusionary techniques could also be considered a type of control Skill, having an additional long-range control method was also very good.

Although the attack damage was indeed not very high.

This could be seen from the small black holes on the ground.

But it was still very good.

If they weren't in a hurry to run from the poison right now, Jiang Yuan would even want to get closer and see if he could replicate more bow and arrow type lightning Skills.

Unfortunately, Zhao Gongming was currently only a purple quality Skill Card.

If he were to advance one more quality, reaching red quality, then [Controlling Thunder and Electricity] should allow him to conjure such bow and arrow, blade-like attack Skills with his bare hands.

Although there wouldn't be any special effects, conjuring lightning with bare hands was certainly possible.

If he were to further improve his quality, raising Zhao Gongming to golden quality, then [Controlling Thunder and Electricity] would truly be Controlling Thunder and Electricity in the literal sense.

In Jiang Yuan's vision, Zhao Gongming at this stage could completely receive the opponent's lightning-attribute attacks with his bare hands and then turn them into his own use.

However, those things were still a bit far off for now; they could be discussed later.

Today's gain of an ultra-long-range attack made him happy.

Jiang Yuan happily waved at the opponent before leaving, not caring if the opponent saw him or not.

Of course, Ren Liwei could see him. After all, how could someone who played ultra-long-range attacks not have good eyesight?

Plus, he also had the auxiliary blue quality Skill Card [Far Sight], so he could completely see Jiang Yuan's every move.

Seeing Jiang Yuan happily waving at him, Ren Liwei was so angry his teeth itched.

Not only did he make him lose so much face, but he also stole one of his Skills, and then provoked him before leaving.

Did he really think he had a good temper?

Could he endure this grievance?

Ren Liwei stomped his foot abruptly, then immediately turned to his teammates and shouted, "Next time we meet them, I'll personally take them down!"

Ren Liwei's voice made his teammates unable to hold back, and they secretly chuckled.

But there was nothing they could do; the other side ran too fast, and their attacks simply couldn't catch up.

However, if they really did encounter them next time, they would definitely prepare in advance. They also possessed Skill Cards that restricted escape and very fast mount cards.

Today, they were just caught off guard, and by the time they reacted, the opponent had already run far away.

Jiang Yuan ran all the way, teasing every person and every squad he encountered.

And Jiang Yuan's behavior was observed by the four Vice Principals.

"Is he usually this... um..."

Yu Chengtian gestured with his hand twice. It was really hard to say that someone's disciple was rather 'cheap' in front of their master.

"I don't know, I don't know him."

Li Yueying rubbed her forehead. She hadn't expected why Jiang Yuan, who usually presented himself as socially anxious, would suddenly seem like a different person once he entered the Four School Joint Examination battlefield.

Watching Jiang Yuan, led by Mu Qianshan, laugh loudly as he trapped a bewildered Late Stage Student with the Linglong Pagoda and then swaggered away.

And the way that Late Stage Student couldn't break through the Linglong Pagoda no matter what, Li Yueying also somewhat didn't want to admit that Jiang Yuan was her disciple.

How should one describe this behavior?

That Late Stage Student had two companions beside him, but both companions were of the same strength as him and simply couldn't break through the Linglong Pagoda.

Thus, Jiang Yuan trapping one person was equivalent to trapping three people.

"You guys go, don't worry about me."

After being trapped for thirteen hours, the trapped person looked at the approaching "poison circle" and said helplessly to his companions.

However, it was clearly too late to start running now.

Even if his companions tearfully agreed and prepared to abandon him and leave, they still met outside the battlefield not long after.

From then on, the Linglong Pagoda also disappeared directly, transforming back into a Skill Card and returning to Jiang Yuan's consciousness space.

But that was a later story. At this moment, Jiang Yuan was still madly provoking every Student he encountered.

There was no way around it; defeating the opponent here wouldn't yield any spoils of war. Since that was the case, it was better to provoke them.

If, like before, the opponent couldn't resist using a lightning-attribute long-range attack Skill against them, then he would have profited.

Zhao Gongming currently had no other Skills besides [Lightning Release: Kirin Sharp Spear] and that bow and arrow.

He had said he was going to a Grotto-Heaven bordering the Element Spirit Race, but he hadn't had time before the Four School Joint Examination began.

But it seemed pretty good now too.

This time, Jiang Yuan and his group provoked someone with Great Beam (Mid Stage) strength.

The opponent was within the range they could handle.

Although he didn't know which academy he was from, the opponent was a Skill Card Master specializing in lightning attributes.

Besides a large-area purple quality Skill [Myriad Thunder Array] and two single-target attack Skills [Empty Solitary Thunder] and [Shadow Thunderball], he also had a very suitable long-range attack Skill for the lightning arrow from earlier.

[Ten Thousand Jun Thunder Arrow]!

Unlike [Instant Flash]'s fast and long range, [Ten Thousand Jun Thunder Arrow] could be described as short and thick.

Its main feature was extremely high power, but a very short range.

However, the lightning-attribute Skill Card Master later understood immediately after Zhao Gongming used [Shadow Thunderball].

The opponent seemed to be secretly learning his Skills.

But he thought Zhao Gongming would only be able to learn by seeing him use the Skill two or three times, so he unhesitatingly transformed into a streak of lightning and disappeared.

After all, Zhao Gongming only used that [Shadow Thunderball] after he had used it three times.

The other two Skills he had used once, the opponent hadn't used.

However, what he didn't expect was that Zhao Gongming only needed to see it used once to replicate it.

Not only could he replicate its form, but he could also replicate its essence.

Basically, however his Skill Card was described, Zhao Gongming could use it in that way.

Just like the escape Skill he used at the end.

[Swift Thunder Flash]!

It could be used as an escape Skill, or as an attack Skill.

However, if it were to be used as an attack Skill, a lightning dagger would need to be condensed in the hand.

He didn't use that.

But Zhao Gongming had his Steel Whip!
