Lin Fan was completely confused by this outcome, but of course he wasn't the only one.
All of them had seen Yan Huo's exchange with Lin Fan yesterday and it was clear that they didn't like each other.
However, at the most critical moment, Yan Huo out of all of them had sacrificed himself to protect Lin Fan from taking a fatal blow. He had borne all the damage that Lin Fan would have taken, damage from a beast that had a higher realm of cultivation than him, damage that had seriously injured him all for Lin Fan.
No one could make sense of this situation at all, but they didn't have time to think about it since they were fighting for their lives at this moment.
Lin Fan didn't hesitate either as he suddenly burst forth with power at just this moment, making it seem like he was using a trump card to take revenge for Yan Huo. Or at least that's what it seemed for the others.
But the real reason Lin Fan did this was because he knew he could no longer continue his plan in this situation or it would be easily seen through.
Since that was the case, he would just have to improvise.
Lin Fan suddenly exploded with golden light that completely surrounded him, creating a force that completely suppressed everything around him.
This sudden explosion of power stunned everyone who saw it, including the beasts in front of him.
Lin Fan gathered his power into his fist before sending out a single punch that contained power in the mid Platinum Realm.
Even with the strong physique of a beast, this sudden increase in realm was not something the Charge Bear could resist, but it couldn't dodge it either since there was a strange suction force that pulled it towards Lin Fan's fist. That suction force was too strong for it to avoid, so it had no choice but to meet Lin Fan's attack head on.
Of course, it was smart about it and had the other Gold Realm beasts combine their power with it, allowing it to grow stronger. However, Lin Fan wasn't that easy to defeat.
The key to this was that the strange suction force actually took a part of the Charge Bear's energy, which greatly weakened the Charge Bear's attack.
When the claws of the Charge Bear met Lin Fan's fist, there was no resistance at all as Lin Fan completely shattered the bones in the paws of the Charge Bear and continued forward to land his fist on the Charge Bear's chest.
The Charge Bear's chest collapsed and it was sent flying straight into a giant tree that was far away, falling down without a sign of life.
With that punch, there was a shockwave that had hit all the Gold Realm beasts that had gathered behind the Charge Bear to provide it with energy. That shockwave burst forth and severely injured most of the Gold Realm beasts, making them unable to fight any longer. Only those that were a bit further back received lighter injuries, but they still would have a hard time continuing the fight.
As for Lin Fan's arm, he sent life energy through it that created rips and tears all along his arm, making it seem like this was the backlash from the special move that he had just used. Of course, with the quick healing power that came from the suns in his dantian, he could easily heal this minor wound, he didn't since he needed to keep up this act.
The young geniuses saw this and they all believed that Lin Fan had just used a special skill to suddenly explode with force, otherwise if he really was a mid Platinum Realm Expert at his age, he would have been too much of a monster for them to accept.
On the other sides, the other Platinum Realm beasts could tell that this situation was bad for them. Now that one of them had fallen, the one that was freed would be able to attack them.
The first thought that they had was retreat, but how could their opponents let them escape.
While everyone was focused on Lin Fan, Xiao Huo, Xiao Lei, and Angela turned up their powers a bit to take down their opponents.
Before the three beasts could even react, their enemies suddenly attacked with power that was in the mid Platinum Realm. The attacks of their enemies could not be resisted by them and they all collapsed.
When everyone's attention finally came off Lin Fan, they turned to find that all the Platinum Realm beasts other than the Gale Rabbit had been taken care of.
The Gale Rabbit had tried to go all out when it saw the Charge Bear go down since it knew that if it didn't do anything, their side would be at a disadvantage, but how could Yue Jin let it do that?
Yue Jin completely focused on shooting arrows at the Gale Rabbit without care for his own consumption. He just knew that he had to buy some time and let the others finish first, or at least give Lin Fan some time to rest first after suffering the backlash of his special skill.
When the Gale Rabbit and Yue Jin both relaxed a bit and took a look at the situation, they saw that the situation had completely turned.
The Gale Rabbit knew that this was bad, so it gathered all of the remaining beasts present and tried to use them as shields for it to escape, but that plan didn't work at all.
Now that Xiao Huo, Xiao Lei, and Angela had finished their opponents, they were finally free to turn their attention to the Gale Rabbit. They wouldn't let such an easy prey escape, not to mention that if they did, it might bring information to their hidden enemy.
The Gale Rabbit gathered all of its life energy into its legs and utilized the full power of its laws of wind to increase its speed to the max, but even then it couldn't keep up to Angela's speed.
Angela quickly moved through the beasts, flying above them. She caught up to the Gale Rabbit and sent wind blades that accurately fell right in front of it.
The Gale Rabbit was completely focused on speed right now, so it was hard for it to control its direction. If the Gale Rabbit had continued charging forward without care, it would have been hit directly by Angela's wind blades. Since it had no other choice, the Gale Rabbit could only slow down.
However, once the Gale Rabbit did slow down, Xiao Huo and Xiao Lei immediately caught up. With roars from the two of them, they surrounded the Gale Rabbit with a cage of flames and lightning, completely trapping it inside.
The Gale Rabbit clearly wasn't a match for two Platinum Realm beasts of the same realm combining their powers together to form a cage. Since it had no chance of breaking through, it could only face the enemy that was attacking it.
Angela didn't give the Gale Rabbit a single chance to fight back as she floated there in the air, sending down a torrent of wind blades down at it.
At first, the Gale Rabbit could defend by gathering the power of its wind laws around itself, but this didn't last long. Eventually with attacks of fire and lightning that came from the walls around it, as well as the downpour of wind blades that fell down from the sky, the Gale Rabbit's defenses were eventually cracked and it fell to these attacks.
The Gale Rabbit had one last aggrieved look in its cute red eyes as it watched the attacks land.
The young geniuses saw that the final Platinum Realm beast was taken down and they were filled with energy. It didn't take them long to finish off the rest of the beasts.
During this time, Lin Fan had sat down to "stabilize" his injuries.
After cultivating for a bit, Lin Fan stood up and came over to Yan Huo who was still on the ground, but had already been treated by the librarian looking girl.
Yan Huo looked up at him, but he said nothing.
Lin Fan looked down at him and also said nothing for a bit, but then he suddenly said, "Why?"
Yan Huo revealed a faint smile and said, "Brother Lin, we are both humans standing in the face of the Beast Clan. At the very least, we shouldn't let our emotions stand in the way of our duties, right?"
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes a bit, but then he gave a nod before turning around.
The rest of the young geniuses had finished sweeping through the rest of the beasts and were picking up the spoils of their battle, but Lin Fan quickly interrupted them, "There's no time for that right now, we have to get out of here immediately. We don't know if there's a second wave coming or not."
The other looked a bit reluctant, but they knew that Lin Fan was right, so most of them quickly picked up a few Gold Realm beast corpses and put them in their storage before coming back to the main group.
As for the Platinum Realm beast corpses, no one went to touch them.
There was an unspoken rule between experts and that was that they didn't steal each other's prey. Not to mention that their pride wouldn't allow them to take it, even if they were rare Platinum Realm beast corpses.
They quickly gathered with Yan Huo and two of the young geniuses with lighter injuries helped carry him back to the camp.
But as they left in a hurry, what they didn't notice was that all of these Platinum Realm beasts still had traces of life in them, even though they were incredibly faint.
