Chapter 68: Did She Teleport You Here to Die?
“Isn’t this a bit inappropriate? Shouldn’t we intervene?”
Seeing the students begin forming teams one after another, someone could not help asking.
Wei Zheng did not even turn his head. “Why should we intervene?”
“When facing a powerful enemy, refusing to cooperate leaves only one road—death. That fits the rules of the battlefield perfectly.”
At those words, everyone gave slight nods.
“Now it just depends on which team manages to defeat this instructor first.”
Among them, only Wan Feipeng once again spoke in indignation:
“What kind of strength is it to have so many teams gang up on one person? If they have real ability, let them fight him one-on-one!”
This time, no one mocked Wan Feipeng, because it was the truth. The instructor he had brought had already beaten most of the squads into submission.
To force these squads, each made up of prodigies from across the country, to join forces against a single instructor—
Such a thing had never happened before in the Genius Special Training Camp.
Wu Ming chuckled softly. “That’s enough, Old Wan. Ye Ze has already proven his strength.”
“When he comes out, he definitely won’t receive any less than the rewards he deserves!”
“At least your trip here this year wasn’t wasted...”
That last remark still carried a trace of teasing. Compared with the ‘geniuses’ Wan Feipeng had brought in previous years, this Ye Ze had utterly stunned everyone.
Still, everyone present, Wu Ming included, tacitly accepted one fact:
Now that the squads were joining forces against him, Ye Ze’s elimination was probably not far off.
At that moment.
Outside the dungeon, inside the medical tent.
Leng Feng, who had been beaten unconscious, was revived by the physicians of the special training camp.
Although no one truly died inside the dungeon, the injuries and pain one suffered there still left a person unable to recover immediately.
After waking up, Leng Feng covered his face miserably and prayed inwardly...
“I just hope Liu Anran didn’t see me getting knocked out...”
Even he himself felt it was humiliating.
He had wanted to pull off something impressive, only to make a complete mess of things instead.
If he had been able to unleash the full power of the Apocalypse Battle Armor, and if he had not rushed in point-blank and gotten instantly taken down, he might still have had room to maneuver...
After going over the fight again in agony, Leng Feng’s gaze fell onto his own arm, then swept over his entire body in disbelief...
“Where’s my equipment?!”
“Where did my five Epic pieces go?!”
His wail spread through the entire medical tent.
It even drew over quite a few physicians from medical classes, who thought his injuries had flared up again and hurried over to examine him.
Not far away were several students who had previously been robbed by Ye Ze.
Seeing this, they quietly began to feel fortunate:
“Even Leng Feng got robbed of five pieces of equipment, while we only lost one. Suddenly that doesn’t seem so bad!”
“Doesn’t that mean we actually performed better than Leng Feng?”
“That’s possible...”
...
The third layer of the Ancient Battlefield.
After a brief discussion, Duan Tianchen’s team and Chu He’s team agreed to cooperate with Liu Anran.
Naturally, it was not because they had believed Liu Anran’s words outright.
Rather, through the kill points on the rankings, both powerhouse teams had already noticed that something strange was happening in the Ancient Battlefield, so this was a convenient opportunity to form a temporary alliance.
“Let’s settle this first. After killing that instructor, who gets the points?”
Chu He looked coolly at the two captains from Central China, but Liu Anran cut him off before he could continue.
“It’s still too early to think about that.”
“I’m afraid we’ll need to bring in another strong team if we want to deal with him.”
The moment she said that, Duan Tianchen, Chu He, and several of their teammates all showed displeased, indignant expressions.
Two top-five teams joining forces, and in Liu Anran’s eyes that still would not be enough to deal with one instructor?
What a joke!
Liu Anran did not bother explaining much further and directly had Luo Yao explain the reason.
Because while Liu Anran had been dueling the mantis alone, only Luo Yao had witnessed how their teammates had lost, as well as the strength of Ye Ze’s summoned beasts...
Only after hearing the words “He blew apart Leng Feng’s Epic mech with a single punch” did Duan Tianchen and Chu He, after a brief hesitation, agree to recruit one more team.
“Let’s just call it an added precaution.”
As hard as that was to believe, Duan Tianchen knew Luo Yao. This little girl simply was not good at lying, which made her credible.
Just then, another full five-man team approached.
Any team that had entered the third layer and still maintained a full lineup had to possess some real strength.
And the moment they saw the captain at its head with his distinctive red hair, the identity of the newcomers became obvious.
“Zhu Xiao, you came at just the right time!”
“What, looking for a fight? Both your teams can come at me together if you want!”
Zhu Xiao’s body was packed with powerfully coiled muscles, and his blazing red hair was as arrogant as his temperament. Barehanded, he still strode straight toward the two powerhouse teams.
At the sight of him, Chu He silently cursed, “Brute.”
Duan Tianchen said indifferently, “If you want to fight, there’s no need to rush. There’s a special situation right now...”
“Hah?”
Zhu Xiao curled his lip in disdain. Then Liu Anran briefly explained the matter all over again and invited him to cooperate.
Who would have thought that after hearing it, Zhu Xiao would burst into laughter, making no effort to hide the mockery and scorn in his voice:
“What kind of nonsense is this about some instructor being too strong?”
“At the end of the day, it just means you’re too useless!”
“You actually got beaten by a single instructor until you fled in panic? Hah!”
At those words, everyone’s expression darkened. Even the little Luo Yao could not help flaring up in anger.
Pointing at him, she gritted her teeth and shouted, “What did you say?!”
If he insulted her, that was one thing, but when he insulted Liu Anran, she absolutely could not tolerate it!
Unfortunately, Luo Yao was only a support, and with her petite, sweet appearance, even when she cursed at someone, it carried almost no force...
In her anger, she accomplished little beyond getting angry.
“Hm?!”
Zhu Xiao shot her a glare. Tiger-like fur and whiskers surfaced along both sides of his face, and with his cold snort came an imposing force like a tiger’s roar.
An invisible martial pressure descended over everyone present.
Luo Yao’s little face went pale. Pouting, she hurriedly shrank back behind Liu Anran...
Liu Anran’s expression did not change, and her calm demeanor remained intact as she said,
“If that’s the case, I can help teleport you to him. Do you want to try?”
“To him? That instructor?”
Zhu Xiao tilted his mouth in a crooked grin. “Heh. I’m not one of you women!”
“At least five or six instructors have already died by my hand!”
With that, his tone shifted. “But why shouldn’t I kill all of you first?”
Before the displeased Duan Tianchen and Chu He could speak, Liu Anran said first, “If you can beat him, all of Central China’s Second Team’s points can go to you.”
“Otherwise, as long as I’m here, you won’t eliminate a single person!”
The moment he remembered that Liu Anran had a spatial class, even Zhu Xiao could not help feeling a trace of difficulty.
If he could get all of Central China’s Second Team’s points, then he might as well agree.
“You, a woman—aren’t you lying to me?”
“Believe it or not, that’s your choice,” Liu Anran replied without the slightest courtesy.
Yet Zhu Xiao laughed instead, and believed her a bit more.
With an arrogant look, he said, “Fine! Teleport me over there!”
“Once I eliminate that instructor, I’ll come back for your points!”
At those words, Duan Tianchen and Chu He wore strange expressions and silently looked toward Liu Anran.
She immediately raised her staff. A magic formation containing the power of space enveloped the five members of West China’s First Team and activated teleportation!
Any enemy hit by her spatial skills would be marked with a Spatial Mark, allowing her to locate and teleport them for a period of time.
A moment later, Zhu Xiao’s team vanished in teleportation.
The destination was precisely near where Ye Ze was!
Seeing this, Luo Yao blinked her big eyes and asked curiously, “Sister Anran, will he die?”
Liu Anran lightly turned her staff. “Don’t worry.”
...
Elsewhere in the Ancient Battlefield.
This time, Ye Ze had been randomly teleported to a very bad location—exceptionally remote, so much so that he could not even see any other teams within sight.
He could only start moving toward Vanguard City, the central area of the third layer.
But unexpectedly, with a flash of spatial ripples, a five-man team was suddenly teleported right into the area around him!
“You’re that instructor?”
Looking at the suddenly appearing Zhu Xiao, whose presence was overbearing, Ye Ze smiled with interest.
“Oh? Let me guess...”
“You offended Liu Anran, didn’t you?”
“Otherwise, she never would have teleported you over here... to die!”
