Linfeng leaned back slightly as he felt the sharp wind coming at him. He dodged a ferocious whip kick. At the same time, he used the dagger in his right hand to block in front of his chest. Sparks flew as he slashed the oncoming machete away. Using the impact, he retreated quickly.
Linfeng seemed to be struggling to resist the pincer attack of the four people, but he was not hurt at all.
"Akai, this brat, actually had this trick up his sleeve. I was worried for nothing."
Seeing that Yunkai was temporarily safe, Linfeng was not in a hurry to defeat his opponents. He only used his eyes to signal Dong Yunan and Lin Xiaofei to quickly find Yunkai and not join the battle.
It was now the most critical moment of the Sovereign Challenge. Everyone had chosen their target seat. Roars and screams rose and fell one after another.
At this time, there might still be people hiding their strength, but no one dared to avoid the battle. Even if they wanted to fish in troubled waters, they did not dare to be too obvious. They had to pretend to fight, otherwise they would become the target of everyone's attacks.
"What a good Ancestral Swords!"
Linfeng was also shocked by Yunkai's performance.
Faced with the Ancestral Demonization Talent Ability, even he could not help but exclaim, "Abnormal!"
He was the person who knew Yunkai the best. Naturally, he knew about the Golden Lion King's Talent Ability, Metal Transformation. However, he did not know that Yunkai could control metal.
Logically speaking, Yunkai would not hide it from him. Linfeng guessed that Yunkai might have just awakened this Talent Ability.
Even he did not have the ability to kill more than ten Rank-1 martial artists in an instant. Linfeng did not think that any freshman could do it, not even Bai Ji.
As a poison beast master, Bai Ji's attack style was strange and unpredictable. His body seemed to have countless poisonous insects hidden in it. However, other than that, his physical fitness was not strong. His speed and strength were far inferior to people of the same rank. If there was no help, as long as they were careful and controlled their distance from him, they could still fight back.
Linfeng thought of Ye Qiu amidst the cheers.
This scene was very similar to that of the Day of Awakening.
As for Ye Qiu, he refined the Bramble Demonic Dragon, ranked 46th on the Earth Ranking. He's a nationally recognized genius Demon Spiritualist. However, his demon spirit has yet to mature. At the initial stage, relying on the advantage of Atavism, he's obviously inferior to Yunkai.
The shock and deterrence brought about by the Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin left a pool of blood under Yunkai's feet. The surroundings were empty, and for a moment, no one dared to touch the edge. It was only when Yunkai ascended to the third throne that everyone finally reacted.
"Are you out of soul power?"
Although Yunkai appeared to be very calm, the moment he sat on the third throne, he quickly exited the Demon Transformation state.
Seeing this scene, the eyes of many powerful new students flickered slightly.
At this moment, everyone understood that Yunkai's soulforce had been overdrawn. Otherwise, he wouldn't have exited his demon transformation state so easily.
That's also true. Consecutively using 'Metal Transformation' and 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin', it would be strange if a new student's soulforce wasn't overdrawn.
Because Yunkai's soulforce was overdrawn, many people who originally didn't have any hope for the third throne were now somewhat restless.
The Throne Challenge doesn't have any restrictions. Roundabout tactics, bullying with numbers, taking advantage of other's perilous situation, and being the oriole behind are all tactics.
Whoever can occupy a seat and have the last laugh will be the winner.
If it was someone else, even if it was Ye Ming and the others, the new students wouldn't have such scruples. However, Yunkai's radiance was too dazzling. Many people admired him in their hearts. Even if they had other thoughts, they didn't want to be enemies with him.
With Yunkai's talent and strength, he'll definitely become an influential figure in Hongyun University in the future. No one wants to be the target of his revenge. It's better to be rational.
Therefore, even if many people felt that they could replace him, they still gave up on the idea.
"Get down here!"
However, this hesitation didn't last long. Seeing Yunkai take out a pill from his bag to recover his Qi, blood, and soulforce, Zhang Xin, who was originally fighting for a seat, finally couldn't resist the temptation. He left his opponent and rushed towards Yunkai.
It was less than ten minutes until the end of the Throne Challenge. If he gave it his all, he might still have a chance.
For Zhang Xin, compared to the consequences of offending Yunkai, the temptation of the reward of the third throne clearly had the upper hand.
He didn't have any resources. In Hongyun, where stars gathered, his talent could only be considered average. If he didn't fight now, how could he stand out?
Zhang Xin's speed was very fast. However, before he could rush in front of Yunkai, a strange pitch-black shadow appeared again. It followed the ground and quickly chased after his footsteps.
"Again …"
The young man quickly discovered the shadow. His expression changed slightly and he dodged in time. However, the moment he jumped, green vines intertwined with each other and turned into a cage, trapping the young man in it. Not long after, he heard a voice: "Fireball Technique."
Fierce flames broke through the cage and instantly enveloped the youth.
"Ah …" Accompanied by a pungent burnt smell, a mournful scream sounded.
"If you want to fish in troubled waters, why don't you pick your target?"
Looking at the pitiful person who was rescued from the sea of fire and was about to become charcoal, a youth sitting on the sixth throne sneered. The Fireball Technique just now was from him.
Seeing Yunkai's gaze, the youth waved his hand and greeted him.
He had made his move because Yun Kai had used Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin to eliminate his opponent, allowing him to smoothly sit on the sixth throne and return the favor.
Secondly, he wanted to be on good terms with Yunkai. Even if he was familiar with him, he might be able to repay him in the future.
Yunkai also nodded slightly. His gaze lingered on the youth's face for a while, but he didn't say anything.
As for the two people who helped just now, Yunkai wasn't unfamiliar with them. One of them was the Treant youth from before, and the other was the youth who trapped him and refined the shadow puppet. With this help, they probably had the intention of letting go of their previous enmity.
Yunkai quickly ate a pill, and his blood and Soul Power quickly recovered. At this time, Lin Xiaofei and Dong Yunan had already arrived behind him.
Seeing Zhang Xin's fate, no one dared to try again. The battle wasn't over yet, and his throne wasn't really stable.
"The third throne has been taken!"
Seeing Yunkai sit on the third throne, Ye Ming and Deng Cheng looked at each other. They were clearly a little anxious.
Their combined strength was the strongest in the field. Both of them were aiming for the first throne, so naturally, a battle was inevitable. Although they wanted to eliminate Bai Ji, it was clear that they were wary of each other. As the team leaders, they didn't even use Demon Transformation to maintain their condition.
But at this time, the two of them had no intention of preserving their battle strength.
"Eliminate Bai Ji first!"
The two of them had a tacit understanding. Soul Power surged into their bodies, and their bodies quickly mutated.
The six of them attacked at the same time. For a moment, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged, and their innate skills were released.
"Dodge!"
Bai Ji didn't hesitate and hurriedly dodged. Originally, he was surrounded by two teams and was in imminent danger. If not for Ye Ming and Deng Cheng's misgivings, he would have been eliminated long ago.
"Little idiot, come and chase me!" Bai Ji slipped away quickly. While dodging, he still had time to turn around and taunt.
Ye Ming and the others' expressions didn't change in the face of Bai Ji's provocation, but their speed clearly increased again.
Bai Ji had the strength to fight for the first throne. If they didn't eliminate him, they wouldn't be at ease.
"Why do the two of us have to fight to the death? As long as we cooperate, no one here is a match for us. Give me the first throne. I'll give you 50 million and owe you a favor!"
Deng Cheng quickly said to Ye Ming while running.
"You know my uncle's identity. This favor is definitely worth it!"
Ye Ming ignored him and said with a smile, "We can cooperate. Why don't I give you 100 million and add on a favor to let me take the first throne?"
50 million wasn't a small amount, but to Ye Ming, who was the young master of a financial group, money wasn't a problem. As for the favor, whether it was worth it or not was still a problem.
As for Deng Cheng's uncle, the vice-chancellor, Ye Ming didn't care.
Although the three vice-chancellors had a lot of power and could provide some convenience to Deng Cheng, they wouldn't directly participate in the competition between students.
Just as the two of them were discussing, Bai Ji, who was circling the field, had a change in expression. He ran toward Lin Feng's direction.
"How about it? Let's cooperate?" Bai Ji asked.
Even if he didn't refine a demon spirit, Lin Feng's fighting strength was unquestionable. He definitely had the qualifications to compete for the top ten. If Lin Feng cooperated with him, he wouldn't be chased by Ye Ming and the rest.
Lin Feng stood where he was. He didn't reject Bai Ji's approach. However, when he was about to refuse Bai Ji's suggestion, his face suddenly changed. A fiery red fireball flew toward Lin Feng.
"Explode …"
Lin Feng's figure flashed. Just as he was about to dodge, the fireball suddenly exploded.
Under the violent energy, Lin Feng immediately covered his body with spiritual energy. Although he reacted in time and didn't suffer any injuries, there was a large hole in his shirt.
Lin Feng raised his head and looked at the youth who attacked him. Facing his gaze, the youth's expression didn't change. The flames on his hands leaped and the corner of his mouth slightly raised. He smiled and asked, "What's wrong? You don't agree?"
"Yang Rui, who told you to attack?"
Deng Cheng, who had caught up, looked at the youth playing with the flames with a trace of dissatisfaction.
Since the beginning of the Throne Challenge, he had avoided a direct confrontation with Lin Feng's team. He never thought that his subordinate would attack.
Attacking was fine. After all, fighting in the Throne Challenge was normal. However, after attacking, he actually used words to provoke the other party. This was a bit too much.
"Let's not attack!"
Ye Ming whispered to the team members beside him. He intended to watch coldly from the sidelines. He didn't understand why Deng Cheng's subordinate was so crazy.
Was there a need to provoke Lin Feng when he was full?
Seeing Deng Cheng's questioning gaze, Yang Rui didn't speak. However, he didn't seem to care.
Deng Cheng frowned. Although he was dissatisfied, he didn't say anything.
Even if Yang Rui was being unreasonable, he was still his team member. His talent and strength were outstanding. If he reprimanded him, he might leave the team. If he wanted to compete for the first Throne, he had to rely on him.
"Do you want to cooperate?" Behind Lin Feng, Bai Ji asked again.
"Yang Rui?
The Yang family? "
A thought flashed through Lin Feng's mind.
He didn't know why Yang Rui attacked, but he didn't care.
However, he realized that when Yun Kai became the center of attention, shining brightly, he seemed to have been looked down upon by others.
He could vaguely feel it from the eyes of others!
"F * ck, someone actually dares to provoke Lin Feng?"
"What's the background of this kid?
He seems to be quite strong. "
"If Bai Ji and Lin Feng cooperate, they might be able to fight."
"Ye Ming and Deng Cheng are too strong. Six against two, they can't be opponents. A wise man knows better than to fight when the odds are against him. Seats are important!"
The audience looked at the two sides on the screen and discussed.
They weren't too excited, because in everyone's opinion, Lin Feng would retreat in the face of difficulties. After all, there was a great disparity in strength between the two sides, and there was no chance of winning.
But the next moment, everyone stood up abruptly. Cheers and screams resounded in the martial arts field again.
On the screen, Lin Feng's eyes were indifferent. His figure flashed, and he rushed toward Yang Rui with a dagger in his hand.
Under the shocked eyes of the audience, Lin Feng used his actions to explain.
"Fight if you don't accept it!"
