84: Chapter 84: The Five Great Prodigies Gather, Lin Yuan's Army Commands the Battlefield with Imposing Power!

Demon God Planet, edge of the core area.

Xiao Ting stood on the back of a Lion Dragon King, the wild winds lifting his body.

Behind him, an army of 700,000 Lion Dragons stood ready.

Chu Yunxuan sat steadily on a floating command platform.

1.5 million surviving mechanical troops were arrayed behind him, their artillery System in a preheating state.

The two stood in a standoff, separated by several kilometers.

Neither gave the order to advance.

The situation inside the core area was completely unknown.

Even the outskirts had seen Lord-tier Abyssal Monsters at the Peak Gold or even Platinum rank.

Inside this black canyon, it was estimated that Platinum-tier monsters were everywhere, and there might even be terrifying Diamond-tier existences lurking.

Whoever went in first would inevitably have to bear the brunt of the fiercest firepower, serving as a sacrificial pawn to clear the mines.

More importantly, they did not trust each other.

If one were to fight to the death with the monsters in the front, the other might stab them in the back, and all their foundations would be lost here.

The stalemate lasted for ten minutes.

A trace of impatience flashed in the depths of Xiao Ting's eyes; he hated this kind of dilly-dallying the most.

He turned his head to look in the direction of Chu Yunxuan, his voice amplified by wind elementals, spreading throughout the area.

"Chu Yunxuan, if you don't dare to go in, take your pile of scrap metal and get lost."

Xiao Ting's tone was extremely arrogant, each word piercing the vital point.

"An A+ grade mechanical-class talent, yet you only made it here by exploiting civilian cannon fodder and using human lives to pave the way."

"Is this the demeanor of Jiangcheng's so-called leader?"

"No wonder the circles in the provincial capital say that only Su Yueying is worth looking at in this batch from Jiangcheng."

"Someone like you who only knows how to hide in the back and pick up scraps will just be a disgrace if you go in; don't lose all your family's foundation."

Xiao Ting's creed was simple.

As a Prodigy, one should possess the combat power to crush everything.

Relying on recruiting cannon fodder and sacrificing companions to exchange for resources was, in his view, extremely shameful.

Chu Yunxuan sat on the command platform, his expression turning gloomy.

Xiao Ting's words struck the most secret pain in his heart.

Growing up, his elders always compared him with Su Yueying.

Even though he had put in more effort and mastered more resources, Su Yueying always pressed down on him.

For this exam, he had spent over a hundred million in family funds, using the dependents of fellow students to fill the monster nests, which was the only reason he had barely managed to keep his army's structure intact to reach this point.

Chu Yunxuan gripped the armrests with both hands, staring at the distant Xiao Ting, not speaking to refute—it was not the time to flip out.

Just at this moment, the earth trembled.

Extremely violent Evil Qi swept over from behind the two.

This Evil Qi was mixed with a strong bloody scent, making it difficult for people to breathe even from dozens of miles away.

Chu Yunxuan immediately mobilized his Mental Energy to investigate the rear.

The moment he saw who it was, his tense body relaxed, and he let out a long sigh.

It wasn't those freaks from the Tianhai Province capital.

It was Lin Yuan.

Moreover, Chu Yunxuan knew very well the grudge between Lin Yuan and Xiao Ting.

In the Star Ring Salon, Xiao Ting had declared in front of everyone that he would shatter Lin Yuan's Divine Domain during the Streaming Exam.

Now, the main person had arrived.

Thinking of this, a cold sneer curled up on the corner of Chu Yunxuan's mouth.

On the other side, Xiao Ting also sensed the massive army approaching from behind.

His expression instantly became extremely ugly.

Xiao Ting indeed wanted to crush Lin Yuan during the exam to prove that the military's choice was wrong.

But he absolutely did not want to run into Lin Yuan at this time and in this place!

If Lin Yuan and Chu Yunxuan, these two people from Jiangcheng, teamed up to attack from the front and back, his 700,000 Lion Dragon army would be nowhere near enough.

Xiao Ting gritted his teeth and mentally slapped himself hard.

Big mouth!

Why was his mouth so itchy just now, insisting on provoking Chu Yunxuan at this time?

Now the retribution had come.

On the horizon, the earth shook and the mountains swayed.

A dark golden tide came rushing over.

700,000 Zerg troops covered the wilderness, and a silver Zerg King prowled in front of the formation.

In the sky, 8,000 Calamity Fire Spirits released freezing poisonous fire.

Two million troops pressed directly toward the black canyon.

Lin Yuan stood on the shoulder of the Tyrant, overlooking the two armies in front.

His Mental Energy had long since locked onto Xiao Ting and Chu Yunxuan.

Chu Yunxuan's eyes darted, and he sent a Mental Energy transmission to Lin Yuan.

"Lin Yuan, the one riding the Lion Dragon in front is Xiao Ting from the Xiao Family in the provincial capital."

"He talked big about you in the group, and now that his troops are depleted, it is the perfect opportunity to make a move."

Chu Yunxuan's tone was full of incitement.

Xiao Ting intercepted this transmission, his face turning so black it could drip water.

"Chu Yunxuan, you despicable villain!" Xiao Ting cursed wildly in his heart.

He was right to look down on Chu Yunxuan before; this kind of person only knew how to play petty schemes.

Lin Yuan stood on the Tyrant's shoulder, scanned Chu Yunxuan, and then looked at the distant Xiao Ting.

"Oh? So you are Xiao Ting." Lin Yuan's voice was flat, devoid of any emotion.

Lin Yuan did not issue an attack order.

He saw through Chu Yunxuan's little thoughts at a glance.

He wanted to use the conflict between him and Xiao Ting to incite a fight, then hide on the side to pick up the scraps.

This kind of low-level borrowing a knife to kill was childishly ridiculous in Lin Yuan's eyes.

Seeing Lin Yuan's army stop in place without taking action, a flash of disappointment appeared in the depths of Chu Yunxuan's eyes.

Xiao Ting, on the other hand, let out a long sigh of relief in his heart.

It seemed this commoner was not one of those brain-dead people whose hot blood had gone to their heads.

Xiao Ting was an extremely realistic person; arrogance was arrogance, but in the face of life-or-death interests, face could be set aside.

He put away his previous arrogant attitude toward Chu Yunxuan and took the initiative to speak to Lin Yuan.

"Lin Yuan, the conflict between us can be resolved in a one-on-one fight after the exam ends and we leave the plane."

Xiao Ting shouted loudly, his tone carrying obvious weakness.

"This core area is full of crises; if we fight until both sides are injured now, it will only benefit some villains who only know how to hide in the dark and scheme."

Xiao Ting deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of "villain," staring fixedly at Chu Yunxuan.

Facing Xiao Ting's sudden concession and Chu Yunxuan's instigation, Lin Yuan had his hands in his pockets.

He neither agreed nor refused.

He ignored the two of them.

Lin Yuan's gaze passed over them and cast toward the black canyon spewing Devilish Qi.

He understood why these two were deadlocked here and not entering.

After all this, they were waiting for free cannon fodder to clear the mines.

Since they wanted to wait, then everyone would wait together.

Lin Yuan was not in a hurry either.

There were plenty of resources on this Demon God Planet; if it really didn't work out, he could turn around and sweep the surrounding areas a few more times.

Anyway, the Demon God of the core area was right here and couldn't run.

These two didn't have the qualifications to make him, Lin Yuan, act as the vanguard to clear mines.

Just as the three formed a strange balance.

On the eastern horizon, a large expanse of incandescent light dispelled the dark red Devilish Qi, accompanied by the chanting of solemn and holy hymns.

Su Yueying had arrived.

The Angel Legion she led was arrayed in the sky.

Below were organized Glorious Knights, Holy Word Priests, and various light elemental creatures.

The total force exceeded one million, with a strict formation.

The holy aura caused the surrounding Abyssal Laws to retreat briefly.

Su Yueying landed on the outskirts of the canyon.

She scanned the surroundings and quickly understood the current situation.

She was the most rational person and knew very well that continuing to waste time in such a place was meaningless.

The termination condition for the exam was to destroy the Abyssal Core Source; if they didn't break this shell, everyone would be trapped on this planet with its harsh environment.

"Everyone, since you're all here, stop hiding things."

Su Yueying's voice was cold and clear, spreading to the whole audience.

"Everyone knows the situation inside this canyon. Relying on the strength of any single party to rush in is a dead end."

"I propose that our four parties temporarily cooperate, form a joint front, and push through the core area together."

"As for how to divide the benefits after going in, it will be based on individual ability."

Interests come first.

Su Yueying's proposal was the most reasonable plan to break the deadlock at present.

Xiao Ting and Chu Yunxuan looked at each other, both weighing the pros and cons.

Before they could express their stance.

In a distorted space on the left side of the canyon, a burst of laughter suddenly came.

"I agree with Young Miss Su's proposal."

The spatial camouflage was removed.

Murong Bai stood on top of a heavily armored Behemoth and walked out slowly.

Behind him, hundreds of thousands of Behemoths and Shaman Priests revealed their figures.

Immediately after, under a dried-up riverbed on the right, large patches of soil rolled over.

Zhan Kuang, shirtless, broke out of the ground driving a blood-red heavy mecha.

150,000 high-tier metal mechas had their engines roaring, and high-temperature steam filled the air.

"I have no opinion on cooperating to break through," Zhan Kuang said loudly.

Xiao Ting and Chu Yunxuan looked at the suddenly appearing Murong Bai and Zhan Kuang, their faces turning green and white.

Without guessing, they knew these two old schemers had arrived long ago and had been using props to hide in the dark.

They were just waiting for them to fight in the front or for someone to take the lead in scouting.

Now seeing Su Yueying propose cooperation.

Knowing there was no hope of picking up scraps, they finally ran out to get a share.

"Fine, I agree to cooperate," Xiao Ting said through gritted teeth.

"I agree too," Chu Yunxuan followed closely.

Since everyone was here, grouping up to scout for mines was better than dying alone.

Five Prodigies, five forces, all reached a preliminary consensus.

Subsequently, everyone's gaze focused on Lin Yuan.

Everyone present agreed to cooperate.

Only Lin Yuan had remained silent from beginning to end.

Lin Yuan stood on the Tyrant's shoulder, his right hand touching his chin, not answering immediately.

The whole scene was so quiet that only the whistling sound of Devilish Qi could be heard.

Lin Yuan's gaze swept over Su Yueying, Murong Bai, and Zhan Kuang, and finally landed on a shadow deep in the canyon.

He finally felt that something was wrong.

From the moment he arrived here, he felt that the spatial fluctuations in this area were somewhat unnatural.

Just when Murong Bai and Zhan Kuang jumped out, that hint of disharmony was finally captured by him.

It did not belong to the Abyssal Monsters, nor did it belong to any of the Prodigies present.

Someone was using a type of concealment Law, hiding right under their noses.

Lin Yuan smiled.

He put down his hand and looked at the crowd.

"Cooperation, sure."

Lin Yuan's voice was not loud, but it clearly entered everyone's ears.

"However, before cooperating, we must first find the last mouse hiding in the dark."

"I don't want to leave a pair of eyes behind my back while I'm fighting to the death in the front."

Before the words fell.

A terrifying fluctuation of Divine Power erupted from Lin Yuan's body.

"Tyrant."

Lin Yuan spat out two words.

The Tyrant under his feet let out a heaven-shaking roar, and dark golden fluid gathered and expanded wildly on its right arm.

The Extreme Gravity Field was compressed to the limit, attached to the Tyrant's right hand.

The Tyrant reached out a giant hand, ignoring spatial distance, and grabbed at a piece of the Void Realm to the left of the black canyon entrance.

The spatial barrier shattered inch by inch under the gravity pressure.

"Get out!" Lin Yuan shouted coldly.
