Chapter 291 It's not that the soul beasts are too incompetent, but that humans are too cunning; you should all commit suicide.
On the other side of the team, a burly young man, nearly ten feet tall and radiating a dark golden light, blocked most of the overflowing sword energy for his teammates.
Yang Nianxia narrowed her eyes slightly, spat on the ground, and whispered to the person beside her, "Old Xu, how's it going? Is it any good? This guy's a tough nut to crack. But I don't think she can launch that kind of attack more than a few times."
The boy, who was holding a huge black scythe and had an ordinary appearance but a very pale face, now had a serious look on his usually indifferent face.
Xu Yucheng shook his head and said, "My body is too fragile. If I were to fight her head-on at close range, I'm afraid she would send me to my death with a single sword strike, without even giving me a chance to activate my soul skill."
Upon hearing this, Yang Nianxia's eyes darted around, and an idea came to her.
He then suddenly raised his voice and shouted to all the surviving students around him: "Brothers, don't be afraid, she's just putting on a brave face and unleashing her full power!"
"If we all attack together, she's only one person; she can't possibly kill us all. Once her soul power is exhausted, she'll be doomed."
As he spoke, he seemed to want to prove his words were true with action, and with a roar, his body emitted a burst of dark golden light.
He charged straight at Ye Xinglan, seemingly determined to defeat her in one fell swoop.
Yang Nianxia had thought it through clearly. With the powerful defensive capabilities of her Dark Gold Bear Martial Soul, she was certain she wouldn't be instantly killed by a single sword strike.
As long as you rush to the front, pretend to be stabbed a few times by her, and then you can withdraw from the battle and wait for others to exhaust Ye Xinglan's soul power.
At that time, victory will be within our grasp.
Encouraged by Yang Nianxia's shout, quite a few students got carried away and rushed out with him.
In an instant, the whole scene descended into chaos.
The various colors of soul skill light and the crisscrossing sword energy complemented each other, like a dazzling display of fireworks, which was quite a sight.
As for Yang Nianxia, who was full of confidence and led the charge?
Ye Xinglan's icy gaze immediately locked onto the guy who was shouting the loudest.
At the tip of the sword, a single, exquisite starlight burst forth, transforming into streaks of golden light.
As the first spirit ring lit up, the sword's edge, like twinkling stars, arrived in front of Yang Nianxia in the blink of an eye.
The next moment, the dark golden light on Yang Nianxia's body was pierced through as if it were made of paper.
Before he could even utter a sound, the extremely sharp sword pierced through his chest and vanished in a flash of white light.
Meanwhile, in the space more than ten meters deep beneath the open ground where the battle was raging.
Gu Yue's eyes were faintly gleaming, and his right hand hovered above a constantly rotating water sphere in front of him, his fingertips moving slightly.
As she manipulated it, the water element was constantly decomposed and recombined, producing oxygen from it and maintaining the cycle of this underground space.
Xu Xiaoyan watched intently, her big eyes sparkling with admiration, completely captivated by Gu Yue's exquisite manipulation of the elements.
"Sister Guyue, you are really amazing. You even know how to produce oxygen."
Xu Xiaoyan praised it from the bottom of her heart.
But then a hint of doubt crept onto her face, and she couldn't help but ask softly, "But, isn't it a bit inappropriate for us to just stay hidden underground and watch them fight so fiercely up there?"
Through Dai Yun'er's real-time shared mental probes, they were fully aware of the battle situation on the ground.
Under the fierce back-and-forth attacks, the students disappeared one by one in white light.
In Xu Xiaoyan's view, the scene was no different from harvesting wheat in autumn.
The loud fighting noises kept drawing teams from other areas to join the increasingly chaotic battle.
Gu Yue's expression remained unchanged as she calmly said, "All's fair in war; that's a basic principle. Besides, this place is similar to the Ascension Platform. Although the feeling of death is weakened, it's still far from pleasant."
There's no need to suffer like that for nothing. It's safest to wait until they've done most of the fighting, then go out and clean up the mess.
During the years that Gu Yue studied in the human world, she did indeed learn a lot.
She finally understood why, in just a few hundred thousand years, humans had managed to drive the once incredibly powerful Soul Beast race to the brink of extinction.
It's not that the spirit beasts are too incompetent, but that humans are too cunning.
Compared to the cunning humans, the members of the soul beast clan are like students who have just stepped out of school and into society, so innocent that it's almost frightening.
Fortunately, he was the Silver Dragon King who had inherited the wisdom of the Dragon God, and he was different from those ordinary mortals.
This also made her understand a principle even more clearly.
In the face of absolute power, no amount of wisdom or strategy is of any use.
Especially now, with her primordial power sealed, she really couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't be pierced through by Ye Xinglan's bloodthirsty state.
Avoiding their sharp edge and showing forbearance is the safest strategy.
Hearing Gu Yue's blunt words, Dai Yun'er, who was usually called the little witch, couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and think to herself.
As expected of someone who controls elements, their cunning is truly ruthless; they're even more cunning than I am.
Of the four of them, Wu Siduo was the one who felt the most uncomfortable at the moment.
Given her arrogant and warlike nature, she would probably have already rushed out and put on a show of fighting against multiple opponents.
He should prove the value of his place on the list of young geniuses with his actions, and let Ling Bing take a good look at him.
Instead of like now, like a lurking underworld figure, secretly squatting underground.
They're just waiting to jump out and fire a sneak attack, catching their opponents off guard.
"ah."
Xu Xiaoyan suddenly let out a gasp.
"Sister Gu Yue, it's Xie Xie and Jin Xi."
In the mental probe transmitted by Dai Yun'er, there was an unusually huge figure that resembled a bone dragon. That was Wang Jinxi, who was in a state of martial soul fusion with Zhang Yangzi.
The giant bone dragon claw, accompanied by a whistling sound, slashed fiercely at Ye Xinglan.
Ye Xinglan felt the strong airflow rushing towards her, and her eyebrows furrowed almost imperceptibly.
Her body instinctively tried to move at high speed to avoid the attack, but the sudden appearance of a black light barrier around her made her feel as if she were stuck in a quagmire, unable to move an inch.
On the other side of that dark curtain of light, there was another hidden figure, constantly shifting positions like a ghost, rapidly approaching Ye Xinglan.
The nearly transparent Shadow Dragon Dagger silently stabbed straight towards the back of Ye Xinglan's head with a speed that was terrifying.
Zheng—
The Star God Sword emitted a soft hum, and its blade trembled violently.
The tip of the sword emitted a dazzling light, reflecting starlight and creating a mesmerizing effect.
Starlight condensed again at the tip of the sword, compressed to its limit, and Ye Xinglan's figure spun rapidly in place.
The thrusting sword, seemingly a simple strike, was in fact the condensation of hundreds or even thousands of sharp sword shadows in an instant.
Ye Xinglan's Star God Sword arrived first despite being behind, its tip grazing the incoming Shadow Dragon Dagger, producing a piercing metallic scraping sound.
Xie Xie originally wanted to use the Light Dragon Dagger in his other hand to deflect the force, hoping to control Ye Xinglan's body even for a moment.
This would create an opportunity for Wang Jinxi so that the Bone Dragon's giant claw could successfully grab her.
However, the light dragon storm brought up by the Light Dragon Dagger in his hand almost instantly came into contact with the edge of the Star God Sword.
It was shattered and destroyed by the starlight contained by Ye Xinglan's first soul skill, Sword God Star, turning into countless points of light and dissipating.
The next instant, Xie Xie's figure soared high into the air.
Before the sense of death had fully taken hold, in his last moments of vision, he saw Wang Jinxi's enormous bone dragon claw successfully engulfing Ye Xinglan.
Thus, his mission was accomplished.
"Jin Xi, promise me."
Xie Xie cried out silently in his heart.
"For our victory, use Bone Dragon Claw on her!"
Watching Xie Xie vanish in a burst of white light, Wang Jinxi, who always valued friendship, seemed to understand the unfulfilled "last will" in Xie Xie's eyes before he disappeared.
Roar--
A deep dragon roar rang out from Wang Jinxi's mouth.
The enormous bone dragon claw suddenly exerted its force, intending to crush the blonde girl beneath it into pieces.
However, Ye Xinglan did not back down at all.
The Star God Sword in her hand spun rapidly, and her second soul ring suddenly flashed.
In an instant, a dense net of swords burst forth.
The starlight intertwined on the bone dragon's claws, so densely packed that it resembled a dazzling firework blooming in the night sky.
However, these cascading sword lights, when they landed on the surface of the bone dragon claws, only left countless fine white dots.
"this----"
A look of astonishment appeared on Ye Xinglan's cold and arrogant face for the first time.
She had no idea that the bone dragon claws could be this hard.
Wang Jinxi wore a calm smile.
The hardness of the Bone Dragon Claw is ten times that of his own bones.
Moreover, he is currently in a state of Martial Soul Fusion with Zhang Yangzi.
In this state, the defensive power of the Bone Dragon Claw is significantly enhanced.
In addition, his second soul skill, Bone Soul Conversion, can convert a part of his body into a spirit in a very short time, thus making him completely immune to physical attacks.
Therefore, he was able to calmly withstand Ye Xinglan's terrifying sword net attack.
"Go to hell!"
At this moment, Wang Jinxi, carrying Xie Xie's unfinished "legacy," roared out.
The three brothers were of one mind and vowed to kill the arrogant Ye Xinglan completely.
But Ye Xinglan's third spirit ring flashed again.
She transformed into a flowing ball of starlight, soaring into the sky from the gaps in the bone dragon claws.
This time, however, she did not swoop down like a shooting star as before, but instead landed lightly on an open space not far away.
Ye Xinglan's aura became visibly weak, and her face was deathly pale.
But those starry eyes remained dazzling and sharp.
Clearly, the three-minute boost from the Bloodthirsty Red Bean Bun has reached its limit.
Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Xinglan raised the Star God Sword in her hand, the tip of the sword pointing directly at her chest.
The next instant, to Wang Jinxi's incredulous gaze, the Star God Sword pierced the girl's chest.
Ye Xinglan's figure suddenly shattered, turning into a ball of white light and dissipating into the virtual space.
For a moment, Wang Jinxi felt as if he was about to spit out a mouthful of blood.
Ye Xinglan would rather commit suicide than be killed by his own hands.
The three brothers should have been of one mind, but they never expected it to end in such a hasty manner.
An indescribable sense of frustration welled up inside me.
Before Wang Jinxi could shake off his depressed mood, a clear and familiar girl's voice suddenly rang in his ears.
"Jin Xi, Yang Zi, you should both commit suicide as well."
The four sisters emerged from the underground space, and Xu Xiaoyan wore a smug smile on her face.
After that fierce battle, it's safe to say that there are probably fewer than ten students left in the entire virtual space.
The four of them were still at their peak in terms of soul power and physical strength.
Moreover, they not only have Sister Gu Yue, but also Wu Siduo, who ranks ninth on the list of young geniuses.
In this situation, their team is absolutely certain of victory.
The positions of class monitor and deputy class monitor are practically a piece of cake for them.
Thinking of this, Xu Xiaoyan's smile grew even brighter, and she even began to secretly make plans in her heart.
Once Gu Yue becomes a class committee member, she can take advantage of her best friend's position to "run rampant" in the class.
"Xiao Yan, I will continue to fight to carry on Xie Xie's legacy. I will not back down!"
Even when facing a friend from the same city, Wang Jinxi still adopted a fighting stance.
Dark light re-emerged on the bone dragon's claws as it warily stared at the four people in front of it.
But the next moment, a glint flashed in Dai Yun'er's eyes.
A sharp pain shot through Wang Jinxi's mind, as if he had been struck by an invisible hammer.
He only had time to let out a muffled groan before his eyes rolled back, and he collapsed unconscious, his body turning into white light and disappearing.
Not much to say.
Coming from a small place like Donghai City, Wang Jinxi and his companions have always had a weak point in terms of mental strength.
Their spiritual cultivation was only at the low level of the Spiritual Connection Realm.
For Dai Yun'er, who had already reached the Spirit Sea Realm and had been specially taught the techniques of using spiritual power by Huo Yuhao, defeating them was a piece of cake.
As if completing a trivial task, Dai Yun'er stretched and placed her hand on Xu Xiaoyan's shoulder, chuckling, "Xiaoyan, don't forget. Once only the four of us are left in this virtual space, it will be your turn to commit suicide."
"I can use Soul Impact to help you then. It'll be quick and easy, and won't cause you much pain."
Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaoyan quickly shook her head, shaking it like a rattle drum.
"No, no, I'll just admit defeat then. Teacher Shen is beautiful and kind-hearted, she definitely wouldn't want to see a good student like me suffer."
Are you kidding me!
If I were killed by a soul attack, I would definitely have a headache for several days after leaving the virtual space.
When that time comes, it would be better to conjure an ice blade and stab myself to death with it.
