39: Chapter 39 A Battle That Shocked the Entire Class

The cold mechanical voice fell, a white light flashed, and the five-minute preparation time instantly cleared.

The figures of Jiang Xun and Brother Feng's teams appeared simultaneously in a dim, murderous canyon.

This was the Death Canyon.

The sky was an eerie dark red, the cracked ground was covered with giant skeletons, and jagged rocks like the fangs of a behemoth cut the entire battlefield into pieces.

Meanwhile, in the Key Class's observation hall, a huge light screen lit up, presenting the scene inside the canyon from 360 degrees without blind spots.

Almost everyone had arrived.

"Look quickly, who are Jiang Xun's teammates? Lin Hao? Isn't that the D-rank talent bottom-feeder? And those others, they all seem to be just making up the numbers from the Civilization Mutual Aid Association, right?"

"Is he crazy? He actually brought such a motley crew to fight a team battle?"

"It's over, what's the point of fighting? Brother Feng's side has an all-star lineup: Zhao Yu's Storm War Eagles, Sun Miao's Rock Giant Statue, Li Rui's Illusionary Demon Fox... Any one of them could crush Jiang Xun's entire team."

The corner of homeroom teacher Teacher Wu Jingguo's mouth curled upward involuntarily.

In his eyes, this farce could already be declared over ahead of time.

Xu Qingran stood in the corner of the crowd, her delicate fists clenched tightly, her gaze locked firmly on the calm figure in the light screen.

She did not believe Jiang Xun would do something without preparation, but the comparison of the lineups before her was simply too disproportionate.

Inside the battlefield, Brother Feng looked at the obviously nervous teammates behind Jiang Xun and laughed wantonly.

"Jiang Xun, I thought you could find some helpers, but this is it? A bunch of trash making up the numbers?"

"I've changed my mind now. I won't finish this quickly. I will crush your believers, your teammates, one by one in front of the whole school!"

He waved his hand, his voice full of condescending arrogance.

"All forces, attack! Follow the plan. Net of Heaven and Earth, activate!"

Upon the command, the team behind Brother Feng immediately took action.

"Storm War Eagles! Take flight!"

At Zhao Yu's command, dozens of giant war eagles let out sharp cries, their wings stirred up wild winds, instantly seizing air superiority in the canyon and circling above Jiang Xun's team.

"Rock Giant Statue! Advance head-on!"

From Sun Miao's Divine Kingdom, Rock Giant Statues standing ten meters tall walked out with heavy steps. Each step made the earth tremble, forming an insurmountable steel wall that slowly pressed toward Jiang Xun's position.

"Illusionary Demon Fox, release the fog!"

"Poison Vine Banshee, set the traps!"

In an instant, a three-dimensional encirclement net constructed by different civilization units was perfectly deployed across the sky, ground, and flanks.

In the observation hall, there was a chorus of admiration.

"Too beautiful! This is a real team battle! Air, land, and sea coordination; control, tank, and DPS—everything is covered!"

"Jiang Xun doesn't even have war eagles for reconnaissance; he's basically blind. How can he fight?"

"It's over. He definitely can't block this wave of advancement."

However, just as everyone thought Jiang Xun was about to be ground into powder by this perfect offensive, he finally moved.

He simply raised his hand calmly and snapped his fingers.

The next second, the light gate of the Divine Kingdom behind him opened wide.

Walking out was an army that made the entire observation hall fall silent instantly.

It was a group of undead skeletons.

But on their bones, unlike ordinary undead that were pale, they were branded with dense, earth-yellow dwarf forging runes, making them look indestructible.

The most bizarre thing was that on their shoulders, they were all carrying a metallic-lustered... musket?

Behind the undead musketeers were a group of orcs riding war wolves.

But under the hooves of those war wolves, circles of cyan breeze swirled—that was the Elven race's speed blessing, making these heavy wolf cavalrymen move as ghost-like and elusive as phantoms.

At the very back, rows of human believers walked out. They wore heavy armor, but held magic seals in their hands, and layers of runic shields mixed with the aura of death and withering were stacked on everyone.

At this moment, the whole world went quiet.

In the observation hall, a student's drink cup fell to the ground with a "clatter," but he didn't notice it at all, just staring dead-eyed at the light screen with his mouth open wide enough to fit an egg.

"What... what is that stuff? Undead with muskets? Orcs that can speed up?"

"His units... how... how can they be like this?!"

Teacher Wu Jingguo's smile froze on his face, his eyeballs almost popping out.

Even Xu Qingran covered her mouth with her hand, her eyes filled with unresolvable shock.

This wasn't plunder, and it wasn't piecing things together!

This was... creation!

"Fire."

Jiang Xun's indifferent voice rang out.

The moment the order was given, those undead skeletons carrying muskets raised their muzzles in unison, aiming at the Storm War Eagles circling in the sky.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Dense gunfire rang out on the battlefield of the gods for the first time!

The lead bullets were imbued with a curse that countered flying creatures, shooting precisely into the sky.

The Storm War Eagles didn't even have time to react before they were shot down from the sky in swathes, falling like dumplings.

Zhao Yu's face instantly lost all color.

"How is it possible?! How can they hit my war eagles?!"

Before he could react, Jiang Xun's second command had already been issued.

"Wolf cavalry, flank charge. Infantry, engage head-on."

"Roar!"

Those ghost wolf cavalry blessed by wind elements turned into flashes of blood-red and cyan, completely ignoring the traps set by the Poison Vine Banshee, and cut into the rear of Brother Feng's team from an unimaginable angle.

The Illusionary Demon Foxes didn't even have time to cast spells before they were torn to pieces by sharp wolf claws.

And the frontal battlefield was even more gruesome.

Sun Miao's proud Rock Giant Statues collided with Jiang Xun's "Withering Armor" infantry.

Fists smashed into the shields, making a series of teeth-aching loud noises. The shields fluctuated violently but did not shatter.

And the bodies of the Rock Giant Statues were corroded by that gray aura of withering at a speed visible to the naked eye, with large chunks of rock peeling off.

In less than a minute.

The "Net of Heaven and Earth" that Brother Feng had painstakingly built was torn to shreds.

His "perfect lineup" that he was so proud of was as fragile as paper in front of Jiang Xun's unheard-of "stitched-together" army.

"No... impossible..."

Brother Feng stood rooted to the spot, lost and dejected, watching his army being slaughtered and his points being wiped out frantically, his mind a complete blank.

He couldn't understand.

Why was it like this?

Why did his tactics and his units end up in such a disastrous defeat?

Inside the observation hall, there was a deathly silence.

Everyone stood like they had been petrified, watching the one-sided slaughter on the light screen without moving.

The looks they gave Jiang Xun had changed from initial mockery and disdain to fear, and finally transformed into deep awe.

Soon, only Brother Feng was left alone on the battlefield.

Jiang Xun's army surrounded him, but did not act immediately.

Jiang Xun walked slowly to him, looked at this dejected child of heaven, and spoke calmly.

"I won."

Talent [Civilization Plunder and Fusion] activated.

[Detected A-rank civilization 'Storm Griffin', do you wish to plunder?]

Jiang Xun's will chose no.

[Please select the specific law you wish to plunder.]

"I only want the 'Wind System Acceleration' law."

A barely perceptible force was extracted from Brother Feng's Divine Kingdom and merged into Jiang Xun's Divine Kingdom.

Brother Feng trembled violently, feeling the loss of that power, his face full of humiliation.

Jiang Xun didn't even bother to take everything from him!

This was even more painful for him than completely destroying his Divine Kingdom!

Jiang Xun didn't look at him again, turned around to look at the direction representing the observation area in mid-air, his voice not loud, but clearly reaching everyone's ears.

"Teacher Wu, fellow students, per our bet."

"Now, shouldn't we discuss the issue of a public apology to my friend Lin Hao?"
