253: Chapter 253 Controlling the Beast King, the Collapsed Golden Sanctuary!

Meanwhile, looking at the interior of the Golden Shelter not far away.

As soon as the Li Fan Squad discovered them,

they were also clearly spotted by the Li Fan Squad members.

However, compared to the excitement and anticipation of the Li Fan Squad,

the atmosphere in their squad was extremely tense.

Because they knew clearly,

that few people who could snatch the Golden Shelter were weak.

Their squad consisted of five people in total.

The leader was named Chen Xing, with an initial Student ID of 109.

He was one of the dark horses of this competition.

His strength was comparable to the peak of the sixth stage of the Star Shattering Rank!

He had previously defeated many opponents whose initial Student IDs were much higher than his.

The other four members of the squad were all powerful, only slightly weaker than Chen Xing, meaning they had virtually no weaknesses.

Overall,

their squad was likely ranked in the top three, apart from the Jiang Yunxu and Duan Xuan Squads.

The moment these two teams were about to meet was instantly transmitted to the official academy live broadcast room.

It was now attracting the attention of almost all the audience.

There was no choice; there were only twenty squads on the entire planet.

Due to the vast area, it took time for them to meet.

Currently, it seemed the only two teams about to meet were the Li Fan Squad and the Chen Xing Squad.

"Are these two teams about to meet?"

"Chen Xing facing Li Fan—it feels like there’s quite a bit of suspense."

"Everyone, what do you think about this confrontation?"

"If it's a direct confrontation, Chen Xing's group should have a slight advantage. Li Fan has Duan Ping as a complete weak link; they won't get very far."

"I don't see it that way. Don't forget, Li Fan is an uncertain factor. Maybe he alone can eliminate all of Chen Xing's group."

The high-ranking officials of the academy were currently discussing their respective views on this impending clash.

At the moment,

they couldn't give a very definite answer as to which side would win.

Everything would have to be proven in actual combat.

However, compared to the views of the high-ranking officials,

the Sparring Partners, the Senior Students, and the eliminated Students had completely different perspectives.

In their eyes,

the Chen Xing Squad had a huge advantage!

The main reason for this perception was that the Li Fan Squad's luck over the past month had been almost too good. Apart from the opening battle, they hadn't had any truly significant combat scenes.

On the contrary, the Chen Xing Squad had carved a path through thorns and brambles, eliminating several teams to reach the final round.

Although they couldn't compare to dominant members like Jiang Yunxu or Duan Xuan, they were definitely among the best compared to others.

"The Li Fan group is finished!"

"Their luck has finally run out!"

"To be honest, if the Li Fan Squad keeps coasting like this, I truly suspect foul play!"

"If you ask me, there is foul play! Letting the Li Fan group coast into the finals—if there wasn't foul play, how could they have hardly encountered anyone for almost a month?"

"I agree! With that kind of luck, I feel like I could do it too!"

"Seventieth or eightieth place should be their limit. If they manage to coast into the top ten, it would be a huge joke!"

The Sparring Partner area was now in an uproar.

The exciting matches over the past month had almost made them forget about the existence of Li Fan and his group.

Now, seeing that the Li Fan group had actually coasted into the final round,

they were all eagerly anticipating the elimination of the Li Fan group.

If Li Fan and Peng Song really managed to enter the top ten purely on luck,

they probably wouldn't be able to sleep soundly for a long time.

... Meanwhile, regarding Li Fan.

As Peng Song and the others prepared themselves,

Li Fan also turned his gaze towards Chen Xing and the others.

"Brother Fan, let us go up to test the waters first. You can observe from the rear and provide backup," Peng Song said, turning to look at Li Fan, his eyes filled with strong fighting spirit.

The rest of the group immediately echoed his sentiment.

They understood Li Fan's strength.

Once Li Fan made a move, they would probably just have to watch again.

They hadn't had enough of a fight last time.

Now, facing a squad that possessed the Golden Shelter, they desperately wanted a satisfying battle.

As for Peng Song and the others' suggestion,

Li Fan felt a wry smile creeping onto his face.

If Peng Song and the others could indeed handle the opponents easily, he would be happy to take a break.

However, just as he was preparing to be a hands-off manager and observe the situation before acting,

the roar of the beast tide in the distance caught his attention.

Looking at the Beast King charging at the very front,

a flash of inspiration suddenly struck his mind.

He had practiced his Mental Energy for so long,

always using ordinary Starry Sky Giant Beasts as experimental subjects, never a Beast King.

Perhaps this was a chance to try it out?!

For a single Starry Sky Giant Beast, he could maintain control for about ten minutes.

A Beast King far surpassed ordinary Starry Sky Giant Beasts in both strength and Mental Energy, so this time limit would likely be discounted.

But exactly how much of a discount, he would need to experiment to find out.

Thus,

making a swift decision,

Li Fan immediately fixed his gaze on that Beast King and began activating his Mental Energy.

It could be seen that,

the moment Li Fan activated his Mental Energy,

the Beast King's pupils instantly glazed over, and its body momentarily froze.

Immediately following that,

the Beast King let out a terrifying roar and began to change direction, surging towards the Golden Shelter where the Chen Xing Squad was located.

This sight,

immediately caused everyone's expressions to change.

However, this alone did not cause too much surprise among the crowd.

Because the movement of the beast tide often changed.

But as the beast tide surged towards the Chen Xing Squad's shelter,

the movement of the tide directly stunned everyone.

A normal beast tide saw the giant beasts simply sweeping over like locusts, relying only on impact force to cause damage.

But this time,

these Starry Sky Giant Beasts attacked the shelter from all directions as if they were not afraid of death.

In an instant,

the Golden Shelter where the Chen Xing Squad was located was submerged by hundreds of millions of the beast tide.

"This... what is going on?"

"Brother Xing, this beast tide is wrong!"

Inside the shelter,

the members of the Chen Xing Squad watched the Starry Sky Giant Beasts outside attacking them as if they didn't value their lives, and their expressions changed drastically.

This situation was something they had never encountered before!

And judging from the current situation,

the platform they were on had begun to shake slowly.

If these giant beasts continued to charge like this,

the Golden Shelter might also collapse!

"Damn it!"

"What in the world is happening?!"

Chen Xing, who was usually calm, was now flustered, his face filled with confusion.

He had just been thinking about how to eliminate the Li Fan Squad.

Unexpectedly, before he could even make a move, he was targeted by this abnormal beast tide.

And soon,

the entire platform began to shake violently, and the sound of golden cracking slowly began to emerge.

That's right,

this Golden Shelter was about to give way!

At this moment, all five members of the squad looked on with despair and unwillingness.

To be eliminated just like this—wasn't it too stifling?!

But this was not something they could choose.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Accompanied by bursts of terrifying explosions,

the Golden Shelter directly cracked and disintegrated.

The five squad members were teleported out immediately.
