111: Chapter 111 almost blinded me.

Everyone looked up.

Leading them was a man in a Zhongshan suit, with white hair and beard but looking energetic.

It was the Wu Tian of Jiangcheng University—Wu Tian.

Beside him was Vice Principal Zhou Hanguang.

Wu Tian floated in mid-air, looking down at the devastated Trial Grounds and the students lying in pools of blood. Monstrous rage instantly erupted in his eyes.

"Vile beast! How dare you run wild in my Jiang University!!"

Wu Tian took a deep breath, his chest swelling like a bellows.

Two beams of solid golden light actually shot out from his eyes.

The next second, he opened his mouth, his voice booming like a clap of thunder:

"Oh—Ha!!!"

Rumble—!!!

At that moment, the air in the entire Trial Grounds seemed to be shattered by this sound.

A terrifying sonic wave, like a materialized tsunami, centered on Wu Tian and crushed down toward the beast herd in a fan shape.

"Hiss..."

"Ow..."

The Flame Lizards, which had been crazily biting students and ignoring pain...

Under this soul-striking sonic impact, they actually let out extremely shrill screams.

One by one, their massive bodies felt like they had been hit by a heavy hammer, curling into balls in pain and rolling frantically on the ground while holding their heads.

Meanwhile, Zhou Hanguang, floating on the other side, was not idle either.

Although he was submissive in front of Li Zhenhai Li Zhenhai, as the Vice Principal of Jiang University, his strength was also not weak.

"【Rubber · Thousand-Handed Arhat】!"

Zhou Hanguang muttered something, and his normally sized arms suddenly stretched and softened like noodles, instantly splitting into dozens of hundred-meter-long tentacles in the air.

These tentacles were incredibly flexible, weaving through the battlefield at high speed.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!

The students who were frozen by fear or lying on the ground seriously injured were accurately grabbed by the large rubber hands.

"Rise!"

Zhou Hanguang gave a light shout, and his arms retracted.

Like tossing dough, he threw dozens of students from the center of danger into the air.

Then he caught them steadily and gently placed them on the relatively safe open ground behind Chen Xi.

"Quick! Anyone who doesn't want to die, run over there!"

Zhou Hanguang shouted instructions.

Following closely, another dozen streaks of light descended.

Those were the deans and core teachers of various colleges in the school. Among them, the freshman grade head Tian Lin, Grade Head was also present.

As soon as Tian Lin, Grade Head landed, his gaze froze when it touched a twitching Flame Lizard.

Those dark red scales, that purple fire burning on its back...

"This... this is?"

Tian Lin, Grade Head was all too familiar with the appearance of these ferocious beasts. They were exactly the same as the ones he had seen in the Flaming Dense Forest some time ago.

However, back then, these monsters were only Dungeon Monsters.

When they saw a slightly higher-level Professional, they would hide immediately.

What was with this current fierce and bloodthirsty appearance?

Looking at the mess everywhere, cold sweat instantly broke out on Tian Lin, Grade Head's forehead.

"Could it be... a follow-up effect caused by the Spatial Collapse back then?"

The more Tian Lin, Grade Head thought about it, the more afraid he became. His face turned pale, and his movements slowed down by half a beat.

"Tian Lin, Grade Head!! What are you dazing off for!!"

In the sky, Wu Tian's roar was deafening:

"Clear the field!! What are you still standing there for!?"

This roar immediately brought Tian Lin, Grade Head back to his senses.

He shuddered, not daring to think more, and quickly responded loudly:

"Yes! Wu Tian!"

The next second, the aura on Tian Lin, Grade Head's body suddenly erupted.

Together with the other teachers who had arrived, he began a one-sided slaughter of the huddled Flame Lizards below.

Boom boom boom!

Various high-level skills bloomed like fireworks. Frost, fire, lightning, sword qi...

Under the combined attack of the teacher group, the Flame Lizards had no power to resist at all and were instantly cleared from a large blank area.

Seeing the situation reverse instantly, Chen Xi, standing at the back, finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Saved..."

He wiped the soot from his face, but his gaze was tightly locked on Wu Tian in mid-air.

"So strong..."

Chen Xi sighed inwardly.

He had originally thought that with the attribute bonuses of a Miracle Card Maker, he was already an invincible existence among his peers and could even trade blows with teachers.

But Wu Tian's shout just now had directly shattered this bit of pride.

That was a crushing suppression of life level.

"But... since the ferocious beasts have no sense of pain, why were they deterred by the sound like this?"

A strong curiosity rose in Chen Xi's heart.

Was it a mental attack?

Or some kind of rule-based power targeting the soul?

Out of Professional habit, Chen Xi subconsciously narrowed his eyes and activated that tried-and-true skill toward Wu Tian in mid-air—

"【Card Affinity Reflection】!"

Hum!

The moment the skill was activated, Chen Xi felt his vision blur.

A series of detailed data panels did not pop up as usual.

Instead, just as his mental power touched the faint golden light around Wu Tian's body—

"Clang—!!"

A sharp metallic tremor exploded deep in his mind.

Then, a terrifying psychic force as heavy as a mountain...

Followed his skill's path and surged back mercilessly!

"Ugh!"

Chen Xi's face turned pale, feeling as if someone had hammered the top of his head with a heavy mallet.

He let out a muffled groan, subconsciously cut off the skill link, and staggered back a step, almost falling.

"Captain Chen! What's wrong?"

Su Xiaoxiao was quick and supported him.

"No... nothing, a backlash."

Chen Xi rubbed his temples, horrified.

Is this a powerhouse?

Comes with a built-in mental defense mechanism?

His investigation skill, in front of a level 100 big shot, was like using a magnifying glass to peek at the sun.

It almost blinded my own eyes.

Meanwhile, Wu Tian in mid-air seemed to have sensed something.

He turned his head slightly, and those eyes, whose golden light had not yet completely dissipated, glanced meaningfully toward Chen Xi.

There was no blame in that look; instead, it carried a hint of surprise and... warning.

Although he didn't speak, Chen Xi instantly understood the meaning of that look.

It seemed he still had a long way to go on the path to becoming a true powerhouse.

...

With the strong intervention of the teacher team, this sudden beast tide crisis was quickly suppressed.

Within ten minutes, hundreds of Flame Lizards had all turned into corpses.

However, although the battle was over...

What was left for the school was a shocking sight of ruins.

The once flat and wide Trial Grounds were now pitted and scarred, with craters smashed by meteors and gullies torn by the ferocious beasts' claws everywhere.

More than half of the surrounding stands and rest area buildings were destroyed.

The expensive Dungeon Portals that had originally stood in the center of the square were also affected during the battle.

They had shattered into crystal fragments all over the ground.

Occasional sizzling electrical sparks still popped.

The smell of gunpowder and blood lingered in the air, refusing to dissipate.

"All students, follow your Instructors and evacuate in an orderly manner immediately!"
