Chapter 172 Cloud Dream Forest
The next day.
Nine o'clock in the morning.
More than 2000 geniuses boarded 16 airships and flew towards the outskirts of Kyoto Prefecture.
Less than half an hour.
The airship arrived at its destination.
From the air, the forest is shrouded in a continuous mist, with occasional tree canopies peeking out from it.
The low growls of monsters could be heard from time to time.
"Wow, this environment is pretty harsh."
Many participants felt a bit scared just looking at this. It would be fine if they saw monsters directly, but it is the unknown that makes people feel fear.
The teacher leading the group said, "Don't worry, there are many teachers and strong individuals secretly watching over you. They will ensure your safety and there will be no danger to your lives."
"You must also remember not to kill anyone, otherwise you will be disqualified from the competition. Also, do not step into other areas, or you will be disqualified."
slowly.
The airship's speed decreased.
"Come on, go down in order of the numbers I just gave you."
Each airship dropped off a genius every two kilometers within its designated area.
Soon, they reached Xiao Weiqing, descended along the rope, passed through the mist, and landed on the ground.
Not long after.
The bracelet sent a notification.
The scoring system is based on defeating monsters and other geniuses.
First tier: 10 points; second tier: 50 points; third tier: 500 points; eliminating other geniuses earns you a quarter of their points.
"The match begins!"
Xiao Weiqing looked around at the tall trees, dense bushes, and thick fog.
I randomly chose a direction and moved quickly.
This is to prevent malicious people from noting his location. It wouldn't be good if he were surrounded; he might accidentally get caught off guard. It's better to be careful.
He planned to hide first and see how things went. If he could avoid taking action on the first day, it would be best not to.
After running for about a kilometer, Xiao Weiqing leaped up a tall tree.
But unexpectedly.
There are people in the tree.
The man was also somewhat bewildered at this point.
"Um... Hello, teacher!"
That's right.
Xiao Weiqing accidentally bumped into the referee.
"Teacher, I'm sorry, I'll be leaving now."
The referee said, "It's alright, it was my fault. I didn't expect you to move so quickly. I had only just taken my position myself."
After saying that, the referee vanished and moved to another location.
Xiao Weiqing didn't even realize how he disappeared; his strength was at least at the sixth realm.
soon.
There was a commotion all around.
A fight has already broken out, not with the monsters, but between the students.
The sounds of fighting grew closer.
"Bang!"
A dull thud.
A genius flew out from the bushes below.
Then, another person, dressed in a white combat uniform with the words "Azure Dragon" embroidered on his chest, slowly emerged from the shadows.
Xiao Weiqing's eyes narrowed. "People from the Azure Dragon Academy?"
below.
The genius from Qinglong Academy coldly replied:
"Admit defeat, you are no match for me."
"Impossible. The academy sent me here from afar, not so that I would admit defeat."
The young man limped to his feet, ready to fight again!
"Bang!"
Blood splattered in mid-air.
The young man was knocked away again, completely unable to resist.
Just then.
A drone dropped a cover from the sky and took the young man away.
Less than five minutes into the match, eliminations had already begun.
Suddenly.
"call out!"
A throwing knife flew straight at Xiao Weiqing.
Xiao Weiqing dodged the flying knife by tilting his head, but unexpectedly, the knife turned around in mid-air.
"Clang!~"
Xiao Weiqing drew his sword and slashed the flying knife down, then flipped over and leaped down from the tree, his eyes icy cold.
"Spiritual practice!"
The flying knife that was cleaved down did not fall to the ground, but hovered next to the genius of the Azure Dragon Academy.
"Not bad. What's your name?"
Xiao Weiqing did not answer, but simply raised his hand slightly.
"Fire Owl!!"
A pillar of flame, imbued with a violent aura, blasted out instantly.
"What?"
The genius from Qinglong Academy was shocked and hurriedly dodged. At the same time, two flying knives shot out from behind him, together with the flying knife in front of him, attacking Xiao Weiqing in a triangular formation.
On the other hand, the young man himself did not completely avoid the flames; his shoulder was grazed by the fire, and a burnt smell wafted out.
"Go to hell!"
Despite the excruciating pain, his spiritual energy surged forth.
He controlled three throwing knives to attack Xiao Weiqing at extremely high speed and with unusually tricky angles.
If it were an ordinary person, they would most likely be taken down in one round under the combined attack of these three throwing knives.
but.
He met Xiao Weiqing.
"cut!"
"cut!"
"cut!"
The Thousand Flame Blade, enveloped in divine fire, slashed three times in succession, slicing down three flying knives.
Each strike felt like it was slashing into the minds of the geniuses of the Azure Dragon Academy.
"Hmph!"
After the first two blows, the young man turned deathly pale, and the third blow knocked him unconscious.
The drone arrived just in time and took the young man away.
"Points +0!"
Looking at the notification on the bracelet, Xiao Weiqing felt helpless.
"All that work for nothing."
He casually slaughtered a few foolish monsters, then leaped back onto the tree and began to wait.
The referee, who was watching from the shadows, was slightly surprised by Xiao Weiqing's behavior. "This student is quite interesting."
"What is Xiao Weiqing doing? He should go on a killing spree!"
Many people were watching Xiao Weiqing's live stream, but unexpectedly, after eliminating a contestant from Qinglong Academy, Xiao Weiqing jumped up into a tree.
"You don't know anything. This is called conserving strength. So what if the players are eliminated because their scores are low?"
"Good idea. Let the other contestants kill the monsters first, fatten them up, and then kill them."
"Change the channel, change the channel, let's watch someone else."
"Brothers, look at District 4! There's a fierce guy from the Azure Dragon Academy. He's a killing machine. He's already eliminated 6 people in a short time, killing them all instantly."
"Really? I'm going to check it out."
New viewers kept pouring into the main live stream room in Zone 4, and the number of viewers quickly exceeded ten million.
"Just arrived, what's going on?"
"Qinglong Academy, Zang Yu, innate skill unknown, uses a sword, all opponents are instantly killed, even a level 5 genius cannot withstand a single strike."
"It's over, Li Han from our academy is going to be eliminated too."
Yunmeng Forest, District 4.
Hu Qingqing gripped the longsword tightly; only in this way could she feel a sense of confidence.
The young man in front of her was expressionless, his cold eyes sending a chill down Hu Qingqing's spine, for they lacked any human warmth.
He stood there, as if he were the master of this place.
"We can't wait any longer."
Hu Qingqing told herself that if things continued like this, she was afraid she wouldn't even have the courage to draw her sword.
With a sudden burst of strength, Hu Qingqing shattered the stones beneath her feet and transformed into a streak of blue light, shooting out like lightning.
Without any probing, they went all out from the start.
The distance of less than twenty meters passed in the blink of an eye.
Faced with terrifying and sharp sword energy.
Zang Yu's cold eyes remained completely unmoved.
When the sword tip is less than half a meter away from it.
Zang Yu made a move.
A cold light flashed across this world.
"Ding!~"
A crisp sound.
Hu Qingqing's pupils contracted sharply; she couldn't believe it.
His own elemental weapon broke, with just a light, fleeting slash.
"Bang!"
next second.
A heart-wrenching pain spread from my chest.
Hu Qingqing lost consciousness.
"?"
"?"
"....."
Countless people in the live stream raised questions.
"How...is this possible?"
"I know Hu Qingqing from Qingyu Academy. She's ranked around 130th on the Heavenly Ladder. How could she have been defeated in just one move?"
"Strong, too strong. This Zang Yuqiang is terrifying. How can there be such a player?"
"The key is that this person defeated several people in a row without even revealing his innate skill."
