75: Chapter 75 I, Yan Zidong, have a sense of shame!

Lin Feng looked at Zhang Xinyu and chuckled sinisterly: "You just said that after Li Murou finishes casting a skill, she relies on the high-speed movement Su Xiaoxiao provides to the team to dodge the backlash of the sound waves. In other words, under the suppression of this map, Li Murou shouldn't be able to cast skills on her own."

"In Chen Xi's team, the only one who is truly a threat is Su Xiaoxiao!"

Lin Feng slapped his palm suddenly and looked at everyone: "Isn't this our chance?!"

"In a moment, when they start fighting the monsters, when Su Xiaoxiao is fully focused on attacking the BOSS... we will launch a sneak attack from behind!"

"Under these circumstances, that good-for-nothing Chen Xi won't be able to fight back at all! Li Murou will also be just a decoration!"

"We only need one wave of focused fire to knock their whole team down! Let them leave with 0 points and become the laughingstock of the entire school!"

"Then... we can take advantage of the situation to finish off the low-health BOSS, and the championship will be ours!!"

It must be said that although Lin Feng's strength was average, he indeed had a surprising talent for such sneaky, backstabbing tactics.

Even Fang Yue and Sun Lin couldn't help but nod repeatedly after hearing this, thinking the plan was excellent. It avoided risks, allowed them to take revenge, and secured the championship—it was truly killing three birds with one stone!

However, just as everyone was immersed in this beautiful fantasy, an untimely voice coldly cut in: "Leave Su Xiaoxiao to me."

Everyone was stunned and turned to look. They saw that Yan Zidong had gripped his flame magic staff at some point, and his aura was climbing steadily.

Lin Feng was taken aback and asked hesitantly: "You... God Yan, you want to do it?"

"What?" Yan Zidong raised an eyebrow, his eyes instantly turning unfriendly, and his voice growing colder: "Do you think I can't beat Su Xiaoxiao?"

Sensing Yan Zidong's displeasure, Lin Feng was startled and hurriedly waved his hands to deny it: "No, no, no! God Yan, you've misunderstood!"

"How could I possibly doubt your strength? You are our freshman year's recognized strongest damage dealer!"

"I just think... since it's a competition, we could have a better solution that allows us to resolve the battle without bloodshed. Why must you risk it yourself..."

"Heh, a better solution?" Yan Zidong sneered, cutting Lin Feng off.

He slowly raised his head, his gaze directed at the faint drone cameras in the sky, and a look of extreme arrogance appeared on his face:

"To be honest, Lin Feng. I look down on these sneaky, backstabbing tricks of yours."

"Although I care about points and want to win the championship, don't forget that the stage we are standing on right now is the Freshman Challenge Tournament!"

"Thousands of teachers and students in the school, school leaders, and perhaps even big shots from the military are watching us on the screens right now!"

Yan Zidong adjusted his collar and straightened his back: "I, Yan Zidong, care about my reputation!"

"If I'm going to win, I will win fair and square! I want to defeat Su Xiaoxiao head-on in front of everyone's eyes! I am the undisputed number one damage dealer!"

These words were spoken with great resonance and righteousness. But to Lin Feng, it sounded like his brain was filled with water.

He looked at the arrogant Yan Zidong, and ten thousand alpacas were stampeding wildly in his heart.

"No way... is this guy brain-damaged?!" Lin Feng roared frantically in his heart: "What time is it now, and he's still posturing?! Still 'fair and square'?!"

"Zhou Tianren brought twenty people and still got wiped out by Su Xiaoxiao in seconds! And you want to go one-on-one with her?"

"Reputation? Can you eat your reputation? Winning is the hard truth, big brother!"

Of course, Lin Feng only dared to curse like this in his heart. After all, Yan Zidong was the only real powerhouse on their team. If he were driven away, Shenfeng Battle Team would really be left with nothing.

Therefore, Lin Feng took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his speechlessness, and tried to find a compromise.

Although Yan Zidong was pretentious and arrogant, one thing had to be admitted. In terms of individual strength, he was indeed much stronger than Zhou Tianren's group.

Moreover, if he were to go and pin down Su Xiaoxiao head-on... A glint suddenly flashed in Lin Feng's eyes.

"What if we don't ask him to win, but just have him hold Su Xiaoxiao back?"

"As long as Yan Zidong can withstand Su Xiaoxiao's firepower head-on, even if it's only for five minutes!"

"The reason Li Murou dares to cast mass freeze is because Su Xiaoxiao's teleportation is there. Once Su Xiaoxiao is restricted, Li Murou will be useless."

"Then, the three of us—Sun Lin, Fang Yue, and I—can definitely instantly take out Chen Xi and Li Murou, who have no combat ability!"

"And without Li Murou's mass freeze, no matter how fierce Su Xiaoxiao is, she can't hit all five of us with one move, right? In that case, won't the remaining Su Xiaoxiao be easy for us to handle?"

Having figured this out, the depression on Lin Feng's face vanished instantly, replaced by an even more sinister smile.

"Good! No problem!" He slapped his thigh suddenly, gave Yan Zidong a thumbs up, and said with a beaming smile:

"As expected of God Yan! This vision! This spirit! It's truly something we can't compare to!"

"Since God Yan wants to fight head-on, then we will fight head-on!"

"When the fight starts, Su Xiaoxiao will be left to you! We will be responsible for clearing out the other small fry and definitely won't let anyone disturb your fun!"

Hearing this, Yan Zidong nodded with satisfaction, his overbearing arrogance intensifying even further. He gripped his magic staff, his eyes burning with fighting spirit: "Then it's settled." "Let's go!" "Yes!"

Lin Feng responded loudly and then turned to call his other teammates: "Time to work!" "Target the central area!" "Let's go take revenge!!"

... Deep inside the Echo Gobi, the sandstorms gradually subsided. Three figures were shuttling rapidly through the intricate rock forest like arrows released from a bowstring.

While sprinting, Chen Xi raised his wrist and quickly glanced at the real-time leaderboard on his points bracelet.

[1st Place: Five Rings Team, Points: 1200] [2nd Place: Water Dragon Team, Points: 500] [3rd Place: Shenfeng Battle Team, Points: 400] ... [12th Place: Nirvana Battle Team, Points: 0]

Looking at that glaring "1200", Chen Xi's eyes narrowed slightly. "Five Rings Team... these five brothers are indeed something."

In such a short time, to be able to soar to this level of points means they not only have extremely high efficiency in farming monsters, but their route planning is also perfect.

More importantly, Chen Xi noticed that the team currently in second place had become the Water Dragon Team. Meanwhile, the Shenfeng Battle Team, which had been biting at their heels in score previously, had their points strangely stuck at 400, not having moved for a full half hour.

"Except for Shenfeng, the points of every other team are rising steadily and orderly."

Chen Xi's brain was operating at high speed, but his pace did not slow down in the slightest: "It seems these people have no interest in the BOSS. The Five Rings Team is even smarter; holding such a large advantage, as long as they play it safe and farm small monsters, by the time the competition ends, this first place will be in the bag."

"After all, going to fight that unknown BOSS is too risky. If you get it stolen halfway through or get wiped out, you'll lose everything."

This conservative strategy was originally a good thing for Chen Xi. As long as no one competed with them for the BOSS, they could wholeheartedly surpass the points in an instant by killing Echo Frogs and take the championship.

However... Chen Xi's gaze fell on the stagnant points of "Shenfeng Battle Team", and his brows furrowed slightly.

"But... in this battle, besides wanting to take first place, I also need to trample those ungrateful wolves under my feet!"
