F-class thief? Sorry, I can steal anything.

Chapter 308 Total Annihilation

The archer was still reeling from the shock of his teammate's sudden death.

Suddenly, a chill burst forth from the back of his neck, making the hairs on his body stand on end.

not good!

Almost instinctively, he wanted to activate his movement skill to escape.

But his body felt as if it were bound by invisible shackles, frozen in place, unable to move.

A very soft voice, almost touching his ear, rang out, carrying a hint of mockery.

"You're next."

Before the words were even finished, the shadowy figure had already arrived!

[Spatial Flash]!

Chen Yifan appeared out of thin air behind the archer.

The dagger in his hand drew a cold arc, precisely slicing through the gap in the opponent's leather armor at the neck.

There were no screams, not even a sound.

The world of archers suddenly began to spin.

Before his consciousness completely sank into darkness, the last thing he saw was his own body turning into specks of light, his neck separating from his body.

[Ding! Ironblood Squad member 'Wind Chaser' has been eliminated!]

Another chilling system notification sounded, like a death knell, striking heavily on the last person's heart.

From instantly killing the mage to beheading the archer, the whole process didn't even take more than ten seconds!

It's so fast it's breathtaking!

It wasn't until the second teammate vanished in a flash of light that the berserker captain, who had been relentlessly attacking Wang Fugui, finally snapped out of his utter shock.

Two living teammates just vanished right before his eyes?

Fear and rage instantly overwhelmed his reason.

"Aaaaaah! I'll kill you!"

The berserker went completely mad, his eyes bloodshot, and abandoned the hard, unyielding "tin can" in front of him.

He swung a giant axe, as big as a door panel.

He turned around and launched a sweeping attack towards Chen Yifan's position.

The violent air currents whipped up dust from the ground, creating a terrifying spectacle.

However, he was met with a pair of completely expressionless eyes.

Under Chen Yifan's perception through his "Mind's Eye," the berserker's movements, completely distorted by rage, revealed fatal flaws all over his body.

Chen Yifan didn't even bother with any extra steps, simply taking half a step back.

call!

The heavy axe blade, whistling through the air, narrowly missed his nose.

It's now!

In the instant when the berserker's old power was exhausted and new power had not yet been generated.

Chen Yifan leaned forward, like a cheetah locking onto its prey, and the dagger in his hand followed the trajectory of the berserker's raised arm, thrusting forward like a venomous snake.

The dagger was enveloped in mental energy.

The psionic energy erupted instantly.

Target!

The seam where the heavy arm armor is attached!

"Pfft!"

A faint, teeth-grinding sound of flesh being struck rang out.

The sharp blade encountered no significant resistance and precisely pierced through the weak point in the defense, penetrating all the way to the hilt!

"Well……"

The berserker's roar abruptly ceased, and his charge froze instantly. He stood frozen in place like a statue, and the giant axe in his hand crashed to the ground with a loud thud.

He lowered his head with difficulty, looking at the blood-stained tip of the knife protruding from his chest.

He couldn't understand why his expensive B-grade enchanted heavy armor felt like it was made of paper.

He couldn't understand why a freshman could be as strong as a monster!

Chen Yifan expressionlessly drew his dagger, sending a shower of scattered light flying out.

He flicked away the non-existent, illusory bloodstains from the blade, letting the other person, filled with resentment and confusion, completely dissipate into the air.

[Ding! The Iron-Blooded Team is completely wiped out! The Jiangcheng Squad wins!]

As the system notification faded, the surrounding simulation scene receded like a tide, returning to the cold, metallic battle room.

The "Earth Barrier" effect on Wang Fugui also disappeared.

He stood there, looking at the empty space opposite him, then at the unharmed Chen Yifan, his mind completely blank.

This is...

Won?

The three people who were just beating me up like a punching bag, just like that...

That's all?

Lin Xiaoyu also came over. She looked at Chen Yifan but couldn't say a word.

That wasn't a battle just now.

It was clearly a one-sided massacre.

"Fan...Fanzi, you..."

Wang Fugui opened his mouth, but his throat was so dry that he couldn't make a sound.

"How does it feel?" Chen Yifan didn't look at him, focusing intently on wiping the dagger.

"What? How is it?" Wang Fugui was taken aback.

"How does it feel to be pinned to the ground and beaten?" Chen Yifan raised his head and looked at him.

Wang Fugui's face instantly turned a deep liver color, and heat rose from the base of his neck all the way to the top of his head.

"I...I..." He stammered for a long time, unable to utter a single word.

So frustrating!

Despite having a full set of S-grade equipment, he didn't even have a chance to fight back and was played like a fool.

"Do you know why you lost?" Chen Yifan asked again.

"They coordinated so well, with the mage's control and the archers' harassment..." Wang Fugui subconsciously defended himself.

"wrong."

Chen Yifan's voice wasn't loud, but it was like a bucket of ice water being poured over someone's head.

"We lost, and there's only one reason."

He glanced at Wang Fugui and Lin Xiaoyu, and uttered a few words, one by one:

"Because you guys are too bad."

These two words seemed to weigh a ton, striking Wang Fugui so hard that he swayed and all color drained from his face.

Lin Xiaoyu also lowered her head, gripping her staff tightly.

"Vegetables?" Wang Fugui's voice trembled. "Fanzi, I... I have the highest defense in our class, and I also have talent..."

"so what?"

Chen Yifan interrupted him.

"Your so-called highest level of defense doesn't even include the most basic blocking and positioning. Did your 'Savage Charge' even hit the opponent's shadow? What's the point of your 'Taunt' except making yourself an even more conspicuous sitting duck?"

"Is your brain just for show?"

Every word he uttered was like a poisoned dagger, precisely piercing Wang Fugui's heart.

He wanted to refute it, but found that everything Chen Yifan said was true.

Chen Yifan turned his gaze to Lin Xiaoyu.

"And you, [Bloodthirsty Poison Girl], with both ice and fire forms, capable of both control and attack. What did you do? You actually tried to cast spells like a mage right from the start?"

"Where's your poison ivy?"

"I...they were too fast, I couldn't find an opportunity..."

Lin Xiaoyu's voice was barely audible.

"If you can't find an opportunity, create one!"

Chen Yifan's voice suddenly rose in pitch.

"You think this is some mindless dungeon monster fight? Do you think the enemies will just stand there and let you lock on? They'll use tactics and capitalize on every mistake you make!"

"If I hadn't been there, you would have been teleported out, lost all your credits, and your achievements would have become bragging points on the forums! Is that what you wanted?"

Both of them lowered their heads, and the silence was deafening.

The air in the battle room seemed to freeze.

Seeing their dejected appearance, Chen Yifan sighed inwardly, but his expression remained unchanged.

He admitted that he had spoken too harshly!

but……

He really hadn't expected it.

The behavior of these two people was so outrageous.

Previously, when I accompanied Mu Wanqing to participate in a game.

These two are clearly not like that!

but……

Back to basics!

Some things are better said now than to die in the mouth of monsters later.

"In this school, in this world, weakness is the greatest original sin."

"If you're weak, you deserve to be beaten. It's only natural."

He walked up to the two of them, his voice softening slightly, yet becoming even more penetrating.

"I can't be by your side forever and solve all your problems. One day, you will have to face enemies a hundred or a thousand times stronger than these guys today."

"I can save you today, but what about next time? And the time after that?"

Wang Fugui suddenly raised his head, his eyes bloodshot, filled with suppressed humiliation and a beast-like stubbornness.

"Fanzi, I don't want to be a burden anymore!" he practically roared. "Tell me what to do! No matter how hard or tiring it is, I'll accept it!"

Lin Xiaoyu also raised her head, her eyes reddening, but she gripped the staff in her hand even tighter.

"Me too."

Seeing the rekindled flame in their eyes, Chen Yifan knew that his words had worked.

"It's very simple."

He pointed to the control panel in the battle room.

"You two, continue with team matchmaking."

"If you lose, immediately review the game to see exactly where you went wrong. Then play again."

"When you can win a game on your own without relying on me, then come to me."

He took one last look at Wang Fugui.

"While I'm away, you're the captain. Remember, protecting your teammates is your first responsibility. Use your brain to fight, not your brute force."

After saying that, he turned and left.

"Fanzi, where are you going?" Wang Fugui called out hurriedly.

Chen Yifan didn't stop walking, nor did he turn his head, leaving only one sentence floating in the air.

"Me? I'm going to earn some extra money."

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure disappeared through the doorway.

Wang Fugui and Lin Xiaoyu stood there, looking at each other in bewilderment.

After a long while, Wang Fugui's chest heaved violently. He glanced at Lin Xiaoyu beside him, then at the match button, and his expression changed completely.

"Xiaoyu, Fanzi is right."

"We can't hold them back any longer."

He strode to the control panel, stretched out his still slightly trembling hand, and pressed the random matching button heavily.

"Come on! I'm going to fight them to the bitter end right here today!"
