254: Jiang Yuan’s upper limit has been set!

“Of course, we have to eliminate them. They’ve been sniping us from upstairs for so long. If we hadn’t run fast enough, we’d be stuck outside the safe zone and unable to get in.”

A Daliang strength youth gritted his teeth, looking up at the building not far away: “But they seem to have two groups. Should we attack together?”

“If we attack together, we need to wait for others to arrive. Otherwise, with the attacking power they just showed, if our two groups split up, we might let one or two of them escape.”

The leading female Student nodded, saying with a serious expression.

As one of the only two Late Stage here, and also a team leader, she had a lot of say.

“You can trust me, I am the 27th ranked Bei Mang Academy fifth-year Student.”

After the female Student finished speaking, she finally nodded and agreed, deciding to temporarily hold their position.

They had no intention of saving those who hadn't yet entered the safe zone.

After all, their goal was to wipe out the two groups upstairs. If they accidentally let them escape, they would probably regret it for the entire match.

The battlefield was so vast; if they let them go, there was no telling when they would encounter them again.

Watching the people still struggling outside, the only thing they could do was mourn for them.

“They’re here, they’re here, a big fish is here!”

Mu Qianshan, holding a high-magnification telescope, spoke excitedly as he looked into the distance.

Late Stage strength!

He just didn't know which Academy he was from.

He didn't recognize him, so he was most likely not from Zhongyuan Academy.

After all, as Mu Qianshan, the 'Social Butterfly', even if he didn't know someone from Zhongyuan Academy, he could mostly get a familiar face.

This was the strength of Mu Qianshan, the 'Social Butterfly'!

Mu Qianshan, the 'Myth Series Card Spokesperson'!

“Then attack him directly!”

Jiang Yuan also became excited and spoke to Zhao Gongming beside him.

“Of course, if there are other Jiang Lou strength people, you can also shoot them down along the way.”

“No problem.”

Zhao Gongming nodded slightly. With Jiang Yuan present, he had enough Star Power and could quickly cast the [Instant Flash] skill.

Dealing with Late Stage people was much easier now than before.

Previously, they relied purely on his and Nezha's damage, and because the realm difference was too great, their damage could hardly kill the opponent with these skills.

But it was different now. Because of the poison circle's damage, as long as they kept the opponent trapped in the poison circle and prevented them from entering the safe zone, they could eliminate them.

“Damn it, lunatic! Wang Boqing is a lunatic!” Lian Mingguo roared, his face grim, as he ran.

He was the 121st ranked Student among Da Xia Academy's fifth-year Students!

Yet he ran into Wang Boqing!

And on the way to the safe zone!

Most of his teammates had been eliminated by the opponent. If he hadn't bought a few life-saving cards from his friends at other academies before, he would probably have been eliminated by now.

He could only say he was lucky.

Seeing the safe zone close at hand, Lian Mingguo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Once he entered the safe zone, it would be easier. He had basically escaped Wang Boqing's pursuit now. After entering the safe zone, he would find a place to hide and recover his state.

However, just as Lian Mingguo was about to relax, a black lightning arrow flew towards him at an extremely fast speed.

There was no time to dodge!

“Zzz!”

The black lightning arrow hit, but it was blocked by the defensive equipment on Lian Mingguo's body.

Lian Mingguo was stunned for a moment, but the black lightning spread directly across his defensive equipment.

The next second, Lian Mingguo felt a tingling sensation somewhere in his body.

“Damn it!”

The anger that had just subsided in Lian Mingguo's heart flared up again.

“Who the hell is backstabbing me!”

As Lian Mingguo just spoke, black arrows appeared in his vision again.

Lian Mingguo quickly sidestepped, letting the black arrow graze his crotch, and then finally cursed out loud.

However, what responded to him were only black arrows, with no other sound.

“You say, can that little guy Jiang Yuan eliminate him?”

“If it's just Jiang Yuan, probably not, but with the damage from the poison circle, that guy can only be considered unlucky.” Yu Chengtian rubbed his bald head, saying somewhat unhappily.

As a close-combat martial artist, he hated long-range attacks the most, especially from such a distance.

Although years of combat experience had given him some ability to deal with long-range attacks, he still disliked this method of attack.

“Interesting.”

Guan Chutian looked at Jiang Yuan on the screen, her admiration completely undisguised.

“Tsk tsk, I wonder how many unlucky Late Stage have been eliminated by this method.” Miao Xinghuo from Bei Mang Academy also shook his head slightly and spoke.

“Probably quite a few. I saw several leaving from here. I just don’t know who was unlucky, or if they were all unlucky.” Jin Lingyu pushed his glasses up and said.

“How many people are left on each battlefield now?”

“The battle on the First Battlefield isn't that intense; there's still a little over half left, more than ten thousand people.” Jin Lingyu said after looking at the screen.

The First Battlefield was for Xuan Xiao and Zouzi strength, with a total of about twenty thousand people.

“The battle on the Second Battlefield is more intense, and about two to three hundred Jiang Lou strength people have been hunted by Jiang Yuan and his team. Now less than half remain, over eight thousand.”

Jin Lingyu smiled and pushed up his glasses: “Over eight thousand people gathered in the small safe zone in the upper right corner, but every step could lead to an opponent, and among the eight thousand, more than half, about three-fifths, are Daliang strength, which isn't very friendly to those Jiang Lou strength Students.”

Jin Lingyu smiled. There were many people in the First Battlefield, but also quite a few in the Second Battlefield.

And looking at Jiang Yuan's current state, the battle that would erupt in the Second Battlefield later should be even more intense.

After all, they had clearly seen and heard the “conspiracy” of those Daliang strength teams downstairs through the big screen.

But they just didn't know when they would launch their attack.

Would they wait until more people arrived?

However, if they waited until the safe zone finished shrinking, Jiang Yuan and his team might have already run away.

Even so, compared to the First and Third Battlefields, he was still more looking forward to the battle on the Second Battlefield.

The First and Third Battlefields were basically the same as in previous years, with no special circumstances, incomparable to the Second Battlefield.

Jiang Yuan had clearly aroused the public's anger among some people. Now it remained to be seen how he would face their attacks.

In the Second Battlefield, successive [Instant Flash] attacks hit Lian Mingguo, and he quickly fell into a paralyzed state.

Seeing himself trigger a rigid state just by lifting his leg, Lian Mingguo couldn't help but curse.

“The trigger frequency of this damn rigid state is too high, is Little Lord's luck so bad today?”

Lian Mingguo still didn't understand who his opponent was.

He only knew that black arrows were constantly shooting at him.

At this time, he was still eight thousand meters away from the safe zone.

And the distance to the purple light barrier had increased from three thousand meters to five thousand meters.

“By the way, can your attacks also trigger the effect of Five Ghosts Transporting Wealth?”

Jiang Yuan saw that the guy opposite had triggered the rigid state three times in just two seconds, and couldn't help but ask Zhao Gongming curiously.

If it was just Zhao Gongming's good luck, this effect shouldn't appear.

After all, triggering the rigid state three times in two seconds was too terrifying.

Unless Zhao Gongming's luck was exceptionally good, and the opponent's luck was exceptionally bad.

“Of course.”

Zhao Gongming narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded with a smile.

“The effect of Five Ghosts Transporting Wealth can not only absorb the luck of people within a certain distance, but also absorb the luck of people outside the range through attacks, but if it's outside the range, it can only be the target I attacked.”

“I see.”

Jiang Yuan nodded: “Looks pretty good.”

Although there was no mention of this in Zhao Gongming's card information, it was unexpectedly good.

“If that's the case, then our strategic goal will be easier to achieve.”

Jiang Yuan smiled happily, watching Zhao Gongming eliminate more Jiang Lou strength Students one by one.

“However, is this the only Late Stage strength one?”

“They’re here, they’re here, a team!”

As soon as Jiang Yuan finished speaking, Mu Qianshan on the side spoke excitedly.

“Two Late Stage, three Daliang strength!”

“Not bad, not bad.”

Jiang Yuan smiled excitedly, and Zhao Gongming also pulled his bowstring without any hesitation.

Black lightning arrows were released one by one, and soon they “equally” landed on the five people.

However, one application was not enough; at least three or four were needed.

After all, they had defensive equipment on them. Although the lightning could spread and also trigger paralysis, it needed two more times to ensure the effect.

Anyway, after the situation with that Late Stage just now, Jiang Yuan would certainly not let them get close again.

Challenging across a major realm was too dangerous.

As long as a Late Stage person broke through this eight-thousand-meter distance…

He didn't even need to break through eight thousand meters. As long as he broke through to a distance of more than a thousand meters from them, Jiang Yuan felt that if he couldn't kill the opponent at that distance, he would definitely choose to run without hesitation.

That guy with the sword had already proven the combat power of Late Stage.

Although the guy with the staff just now was weaker than the one with the sword, he wasn't much weaker.

At least in a one-on-one situation, Nezha would not be his opponent.

Or rather, Nezha would have a hard time defeating him.

One strength breaking all laws still existed.

No matter how strong Nezha's techniques were, if his physical quality couldn't keep up, there was nothing he could do.

I can block your one hundred attacks, but you better not let me hit you once.

This was the situation when Nezha fought the Late Stage with the staff just now.

Especially since that Late Stage had been worn down for eight thousand meters.

His defenses were already tattered.

Otherwise, it was hard to say whether Nezha and Zhao Gongming could have killed the opponent just now.

“Damn it, so disgusting!”

When he was still six thousand meters away from the safe zone, Lian Mingguo roared, filled with unwillingness, and was eliminated.

His Star Power was completely depleted, and his body began to be constantly hit by toxins, or rather, some tiny attacks, in the non-survival zone.

In a short while, his purple defensive equipment had already shattered. Without defensive equipment, he naturally couldn't withstand these attacks, so he was quickly eliminated.

Although it wasn't Jiang Yuan's first time eliminating a Late Stage strength, he was the first to eliminate one in this way.

“It's truly unsolvable.”

“Indeed, truly, he crossed a major realm to eliminate the opponent.”

Guan Chutian looked at Jiang Yuan and nodded in approval: “No matter what factors were used, truly crossing a major realm to eliminate an opponent certainly lives up to your Zhongyuan Academy's reputation as the number one genius.”

“Although he's only the number one genius of the Fourth Realm, a fourth-year Student.”

“But I believe that when he enters his fifth year, he will be the number one genius of the fifth year.”

As Guan Chutian spoke, the other Vice Principals, including Jiang Yuan's teacher Li Yueying, all cast surprised glances at Guan Chutian.

Was she so confident in Jiang Yuan's ability?

“But it's a pity, no matter how brilliant he is, he will find it difficult to successfully enter the final two hundred.”

The smile on Guan Chutian's face remained unchanged, but the meaning of her words was different.

“Even if he manages to enter the final two hundred by luck, his little tricks will be useless in the subsequent arena battles.”

“The final result will still be elimination, because this year's Four School Joint Examination is not his battlefield.”

The smile on Guan Chutian's face grew even wider, and her eyes swept across several screens.

On several screens, including Wang Boqing, there were more than a dozen people. These were, in her mind, the protagonists of the Second Battlefield in this Four School Joint Examination.

As for Jiang Yuan?

He was just someone who made the otherwise boring early-stage map-running more exciting.

His potential had been capped!

“If he has the ability, then next year's Four School Joint Examination will be his best battlefield, but not this year. There is absolutely no place for him among the shining figures this year.”

As Guan Chutian's words fell, whether it was Miao Xinghuo from Bei Mang Academy or Yu Chengtian from Martial Arts Academy.

Even Jin Lingyu from Jiang Yuan's own Zhongyuan Academy couldn't help but nod, agreeing with Guan Chutian's statement.

After all, every year in the Four School Joint Examination, the First and Second Battlefields were for the Zouzi and Great Beam realms.

Xuan Xiao and Jiang Lou?

They were just there to make up the numbers.

Although Li Yueying also clearly understood this point, she was very unhappy in her heart.

After all, Jiang Yuan was her disciple!
