66: Chapter 66 You've broken down, are you even human?

"What did you say?!"

Hearing this, the leader of the Zhenyan Academy's face darkened.

"Don't go too far. If our S-rank seniors hadn't been unable to participate due to their cultivation levels being too high, my Zhenyan System wouldn't have fallen to this state!" he said in a low voice.

"Don't act like you're the only ones with seniors. The current situation depends on yourself, not others!" Zhang Zhiyu said coldly.

"You..."

"Relax, if we cooperate, we'll be allies. What could I possibly do to you? In the end, we just want to win, even if the chances are slim."

"...Fine, then what do you suggest?" Helpless, the leader of the Zhenyan Academy could only back down.

"In a moment..." Zhang Zhiyu began, but his eyes suddenly flashed.

"Who's there!"

He moved quickly, a green poison bead condensing in his palm as he threw it toward the distant bushes.

A flash of light flew out from the bushes, racing into the distance without looking back, soon vanishing from sight.

"So fast!" Everyone was startled by such speed.

"Light System... Chen Xing?" Zhang Zhiyu's heart jolted; he had seen him at the Eastern Region Border during the day.

"Damn it, Li Baxian!" He slapped his forehead suddenly, remembering the new playstyle Li Baxian had developed in last year's competition.

"This is bad, the news of our alliance is going to leak."

...

"What, they've allied? Near the Modern City?"

Upon hearing the news, Li Baxian was slightly shocked, but he also felt it was within reason.

After all, if the two weakest sides didn't want to be eliminated so quickly, what else could they do but cooperate?

"Yeah, let's not talk about that for now. I've reached the vicinity of the Fourth City and saw Chu Li and the others; they're very close to you." From a high mountain, Chen Xing spotted another group of people.

"Boss, that guy is staring at us again!" The scouting team discovered him standing at the high point.

"He's not even hiding it this time? He's too arrogant. Does he really think we can't catch him?"

"Then... how do we catch him?"

"Dammit!"

...

Now, no matter what Chen Xing did, even just breathing, it felt like a provocation to the people of Niliu Academy.

But... they could do nothing about it!

"The map is about to shrink. In the end, there will only be one place left for the melee. Where can he run then?" Shangguan Xu said coldly.

"When that time comes, we'll deal with this annoying fellow first!" Chang Qinian snorted coldly.

"Player [Wu Hang], along with dozens of students from the same academy, has slain the Red Challenge Beast [Tianfeng]. All students of Niliu Academy gain two thousand points!"

At the same time, a new announcement appeared.

Everyone immediately opened their maps and found another Challenge Beast marker gradually disappearing.

Following the marker's location and comparing it to their own, they found that Wu Hang was not too far from them, much to their delight.

"Let's go, head over there and meet up with them!" Shangguan Xu ordered.

"What about that guy?" Someone pointed at Chen Xing on the mountain peak, looking a bit worried.

"There's no other way. Let's meet up first. Even if he reports our position, so what? We're about to reach the final area; it's not that important anymore." Shangguan Xu snorted.

"Understood."

It was already dark, but they didn't plan on stopping.

Now, by leveraging the information advantage provided by Chen Xing, the Tianhe System had taken down the most Challenge Beasts, temporarily holding the first place.

Rank 1: Tianhe Academy, Total Points: 9.85 million.

Rank 2: Niliu Academy, Total Points: 9.16 million.

Rank 3: Shengyuan Academy, Total Points: 3.97 million.

Rank 4: Zhenyan Academy, Total Points: 1.2 million.

Such a huge gap was all due to the insufficient number of S-ranks, which was quite lamentable.

On the other side, the Zhenyan Academy was leading their people to take down the last Challenge Beast, and then both sides chose a place to rest.

Inside the camp, by the campfire, several fifth and sixth-year senior students from Zhenyan Academy let out sighs.

"Dammit, how could my great Zhenyan System fall to this point?" Someone slapped their thigh, feeling very frustrated.

"Isn't that the truth? How glorious were we in previous years? Now we're in such a pathetic state, actually having to take orders from others. I really don't know how Senior Sister Chu would handle us if she saw this," a fourth-year student said.

"Exactly. Back then, when Senior Sister Chu was in our academy, how glorious and powerful was she? During her two years, our Zhenyan System won two consecutive championships!"

"It couldn't be helped. Senior Sister Chu was too amazing. She achieved a Breakthrough to the Divine Ability Realm in her junior year, exceeding the threshold set for the Exchange Competition, and couldn't lead us to a third title."

"One thing is also a pity. Senior Sister Chu's younger sister ran off to the neighboring Niliu Academy, so we have no hope, sigh!"

...

As they spoke, they chatted more about their past glory.

In fact, the Zhenyan Academy wasn't weak; the Exchange Competition was only for the Divine Sea Realm and Light Opening Realm. There were other major competitions that only those in the Divine Ability Realm could attend.

Their S-rank senior had gone to that kind of competition and made a name for himself there; it was just a pity that there was no one to back them up in the Exchange Competition.

"Found them. The Zhenyan System and Shengyuan System are near City Six. They probably want to wait until dawn to make a move."

However, at this moment, a very discordant and piercing voice came from outside.

Chen Xing simply didn't bother to hide anymore. After confirming the numbers, he immediately reported the location.

"This guy again!"

"You with the surname Chen, don't be too arrogant!"

"Kill him!"

...

This scene ignited the already frustrated crowd from the Zhenyan System. A group of people unleashed Battle Techniques, directly bombing a nearby building.

Chen Xing, naturally, had left before they acted. Without leaving a word, he chose to go scout the location of the Niliu Academy.

Not long after, the same situation played out on the other side.

"Chen Xing, you're going too far!"

"Don't think that just because you're fast, you can do whatever you want. You should leave some room for others!"

"Chen Xing, are you even human?"

...

The people of Niliu Academy were at their wit's end and started cursing on the spot, sending their most "cordial" greetings.

Even Su He and Li Baxian, who received the news, were dumbfounded. Isn't this a bit too arrogant?

To this, Chen Xing only said, "Arrogant? Aren't they also relying on their large number of S-ranks to split up and wander around, eliminating students from all over? Aren't they being arrogant?"

"You can maintain kindness toward your enemies, but I hope that when someone else's blade is at your throat, you won't feel wronged!"

His expression was cold, and his words were resolute as he said this.

Upon hearing this, Su He and Li Baxian were stunned. Does this guy really have the mindset a freshman should have?

Honestly, sometimes they would wonder if Chen Xing was some old monster who had experienced a Rebirth.

"Alright, come back quickly. It's dangerous outside. We need to formulate a new plan as well." After a moment, Su He spoke in a gentle tone.

"Okay." Chen Xing put away his communicator.
