200: Cleaning up the battlefield

The top 10,000 from each group were all taken away.

This included not only the top 10,000 from the individual competition groups but also those from the team competition.

This formed a massive team that quickly followed the Dragon Country official as he departed.

The remaining people looked at each other, unsure of what had happened.

On the stands, General Hu's expression also turned solemn.

He had just received news that Void Creatures were attacking the Dragon Country's border.

Now, the battle had concluded.

The Void Creatures naturally gained no advantage, but they did leave behind a mess.

Originally, the plan was to send people to clean it up.

However, the Void Creatures' sudden attack this time didn't stop; a second wave of attacks immediately began, and for a time, there were no available personnel.

Therefore, the Dragon Country high-level officials decided to let these participants clear the battlefield.

High-Rank Void Creatures and their dependents in the battlefield had already been eliminated.

Only a portion remained, barely clinging to life and unable to stir up any trouble.

Taking this opportunity, it was a good chance to temper these young people.

During the last college entrance examination, there had already been a Void Realm invasion.

Therefore, the Dragon Country high-level officials placed particular importance on this Professional Competition.

The Void Creatures did not choose to act during the Professional Competition; instead, they attacked from various locations, tying down the Dragon Country's main forces.

It had been many years since an attack of this scale had occurred.

Not only the Dragon Country, but other countries also suffered attacks.

Especially the Sakura Country, where one defense line had already collapsed.

"Damn these Void Creatures!"

If General Hu didn't have to oversee the Professional Competition, he would have already gone to fight.

"The rest of you, follow me!"

General Hu shouted, and the remaining people all followed him.

Things happened so suddenly that the audience hadn't yet reacted.

Next to Lina, someone suddenly approached.

"Young Miss!"

After some conversation with Lina, Lina left with him.

She appeared very anxious, suggesting that something urgent had occurred.

The remaining three girls were extremely anxious at this moment, completely unaware of the situation.

The others were also in the same state; things had happened too suddenly.

They first returned to their lodging, waiting there for news of Xia Qi.

Xia Qi and the others arrived together at the initial invasion site of the Void Realm.

They could quickly reach it via the military's teleportation array.

At this moment, the area had already become a ruin.

Fortunately, this was not a residential area.

Therefore, there were no casualties.

At the first sign of the Void Realm invasion, the Dragon Country's forces arrived here.

They quickly cleared out the Void Creatures and repelled them.

However, there were still residual Void Creatures present.

And their mission was to clear out these remaining Void Creatures.

If they could obtain some information, that would naturally be even better.

Not far away, Sikong glared fiercely at Xia Qi, but he wouldn't be foolish enough to act here.

If he were to act here, let alone Situ Mu, Dean, even the principal wouldn't be able to save him.

Perhaps, as soon as he acted, he would be annihilated.

Contestants from different groups were responsible for different areas; Xia Qi, currently Rank 30, was naturally in the Rank 30 group.

Upon arriving in their assigned area, everyone immediately began to act.

Many people immediately started forming teams.

Void Creatures were not like the people in the Professional Competition; they wouldn't stop at a certain point or engage in one-on-one duels.

"Xia Qi, do you want to team up with us?"

A contestant saw that Xia Qi was alone and immediately stepped forward to invite him.

The basic information of the contestants was public, especially Xia Qi's previous performance, which had already left a deep impression on people.

"No, I still prefer to be alone."

Indeed.

Although teaming up allows for better exploration and greater safety when encountering danger.

But Xia Qi's own strength was not weak, and acting alone was more convenient.

Seeing that Xia Qi had no interest, the other party did not press the matter.

After some discussion, everyone headed to their respective assigned areas.

All around, there was destruction caused by Void Creatures.

Clearly, their objective was not to kill people.

This place originally had no inhabitants; apart from some old factories, the rest of the area had not yet been developed.

This place wasn't even considered a suburb; basically, no one would come here.

Xia Qi was searching through this ruin when suddenly a Void Realm insect rushed out from within the rubble.

Xia Qi cut it down with a single sword strike, directly splitting the Void Realm insect in two.

Before long, sounds of fighting also came from a distance.

Presumably, these were the remaining Void Creatures, discovered by the newly arrived contestants.

The two sides engaged in battle, but it quickly subsided.

It seemed there was nothing noteworthy here.

Xia Qi could only continue exploring, encountering a few surviving Void Realm insects along the way.

Just then, a gigantic black tentacle appeared in the sky.

This area had already been covered by a protective barrier, so the tentacle could not enter.

It could only continuously strike the barrier, emitting violent vibrations.

"What's going on!"

The vibrations continued, and all the contestants immediately became vigilant.

However, they found nothing around them, leaving them at a loss.

Xia Qi looked up; the black tentacle had already rested on top of the protective barrier.

This was only a temporarily erected protective barrier; facing the Void Realm's attack, it probably wouldn't last long.

Just then, a giant axe flew towards the tentacle.

The tentacle seemed to sense danger and quickly retracted.

But it was still a step too slow, and the giant axe cut a deep wound into it.

"I've been waiting for you!"

The giant axe flew back, landing in the hand of a middle-aged man.

He was outside the protective barrier, flying towards the Void Realm.

"Who is that? So powerful!"

Within the battlefield, the contestants all marveled at the man's abilities.

Although they couldn't see the enemy, it certainly wasn't simple.

"Void Creatures!"

Someone immediately realized that the Void Creatures had returned!

However, with so many Dragon Country powerhouses present, these few Void Creatures couldn't stir up any trouble.

Xia Qi looked around; he was among the very few who could see the Void Creatures.

When Void Creatures came here, they must have had some purpose.

The previous college entrance examination was to eliminate the younger generation of powerhouses.

This time, it certainly wouldn't be that simple.

Xia Qi quickly moved, heading towards the core area of this battlefield.

This was where the high-Rank contestants explored.

Only they could ensure their safety in this area.

But Xia Qi was only Rank 30 now, yet he actually ran directly over.

When Xia Qi appeared in the core area, he quickly attracted the attention of others.

And he was now running towards a stone tablet in the core area, where those Void Creatures were gathering.

Xia Qi directly unleashed a bolt of lightning, striking towards the location of the stone tablet.

Demon Slayer!

Five elements converged around Xia Qi, transforming into a long sword that directly slashed towards the Void Creatures.
