Chapter 143: Chapter 124: Repelling the Masses (Part Four) Chapter 143: Chapter 124: Repelling the Masses (Part Four) Each of the top geniuses from the different academies felt a slight tremor in their hearts under Su Yuan’s gaze, while the entire venue erupted.
“Taking them all on?
Damn, Su Yuan is crazy arrogant!”
“Yeah, he wants to go one against many?
There are still plenty of geniuses left from each academy!”
“He might be crazy, but he has the skills to back it up.
If you don’t like it, just go up there yourself.”
“Uh, yeah, maybe not…”
…
At Demon Capital Academy, everyone was still reeling from the news that Su Yuan was a warrior.
The chaos resumed.
“What…what is he doing?
He wants everyone to come at him?” Xia Yue’s eyes widened.
Zhang Tai, Du Tao, and the others were equally speechless, feeling numb.
Shang Baiyu glanced at Su Yuan and the others from the academies, saying slowly, “Although he says that, ordinary students can’t just go up.
First, if their strength is too low, it’s a waste.
Second, if a few go up and win, that’s fine.
But if ten or twenty people go up…they’ll lose face even before the fight starts.
So, if anyone goes up, it’s only the top geniuses from each academy.
I believe that’s Su Yuan’s intention.”
Zhang Tai smacked his lips and said, “Even so, it’s enough to be shocking!
He’s already defeated top experts from East Pole and Liu Zhou.
Now he wants to challenge the best from multiple academies…
Damn, incredible!
No matter the outcome, I’m impressed!”
Xia Yue and others looked at the stage, unsure if any students would step up.
It would be best if none did, letting this turmoil end here.
But just then, a figure from Wanzhou Academy rushed into the real battlefield.
“Wanzhou Academy, Ling Long.” Ling Long looked at Su Yuan.
“Jiu Jun always wanted to fight you.
Since he has already lost, I will challenge you in his place.”
As soon as Ling Long finished speaking, a man and a woman from Qing Province and Yongzhou Academies also stepped onto the platform.
The man was slightly tanned, not tall but muscular, exuding power and speed.
The girl wore a black dress and appeared quite demure.
“Qing Province Academy, Zheng Chun.”
“Yongzhou Academy, Tang Huamei.”
Seeing these three take the stage, the audience began to murmur.
“Wanzhou, Qing Province, and Yongzhou… Looks like everyone is here except for South Pole Academy.”
“Right, as for South Pole Academy, their teachers probably told them not to get involved since they’re the hosts.”
“Hmm?
Another one from East Pole Academy!”
Clear Wind swirled, and a tall, sunny youth leaped into the arena.
“East Pole Academy, Fang Mingyu.” Fang Mingyu scratched his head after introducing himself.
“Although someone from East Pole Academy already fought, I still want to spar with you.”
“Fine,” Su Yuan nodded, then looked around, “Anyone else?”
After that, no one else stepped up.
Ling Long pulled out a long knife, Fang Mingyu gripped a longsword, Zheng Chun put on gloves, and Tang Huamei of Yongzhou Academy drew a fire element magic wand.
Tang Huamei’s movements immediately caught the attention of Ling Long, Fang Mingyu, and Su Yuan.
Star Card Masters were known for solo combat, not to mention that Ling Long, Fang Mingyu, and the others were unfamiliar with one another’s skills.
In this situation, while they didn’t need to force skill coordination, some basic teamwork principles were still essential.
For example, with a strong magician on their side, they needed to consider the magician’s safety and attack space.
A quick glance among the three boys, Ling Long, Fang Mingyu, and Zheng Chun, facilitated silent communication.
Seeing everyone ready, Su Yuan ran his hand across his long knife, with pitch-black space power once again enveloping the Dragon Armor Saber.
Su Yuan said, “Alright then, let’s begin.”
The four of them heard him, their expressions all becoming serious.
Su Yuan pointed his long knife, and two Hellfire Beasts immediately charged out.
Facing the Hellfire Beasts up close, the oppressive feeling was far more intense than from watching outside the arena.
Ling Long and Zheng Chun leaped out first.
Ling Long’s left hand sealed a mark, and purplish light enveloped him, quickly forming a layer of Purple Crystal Armor.
Meanwhile, a large amount of chilling black energy surged around Zheng Chun as he ran, his body swelling rapidly.
In a matter of moments, his appearance transformed.
Now hideous and ferocious, his muscles knotted, and his height grew over five meters!
Although still shorter than the Hellfire Beasts, the black energy swirling around Zheng Chun and his fierce aura almost rivaled the Hellfire Beasts with their evil green flames.
Blue Skill, Nightmare Demon Transformation!
“Zheng Chun is strong!” people exclaimed.
Bronze Middle Stage strength, massive size, staggering aura!
From the outside, Zheng Chun seemed the closest match to the Hellfire Beasts.
After transforming, Zheng Chun charged ahead towards the two Hellfire Beasts.
Black energy coalesced into tiger forms around his fists as he roared, delivering a twin-fisted attack at the Hellfire Beasts!
“Demon Tiger Roar!”
To everyone’s surprise, Zheng Chun alone knocked back the two Hellfire Beasts half a step!
But this didn’t mean much damage to the Hellfire Beasts, as they quickly regained their stance and counterattacked Zheng Chun.
“Hurry up!” Zheng Chun whispered, “I can hold them off for a while!”
Ling Long, close behind, took advantage of Zheng Chun holding off the Hellfire Beasts, sped up, and drew a purple arc as he charged at Su Yuan.
But before Ling Long could strike, Su Yuan’s eyes flashed silver.
He instantly teleported from his spot and appeared next to Tang Huamei, swinging his blade.
“I won’t let you!” Fang Mingyu shouted from the side.
A strong gust surged, creating an intense wind field between Su Yuan and Tang Huamei.
The sudden wind field not only hindered Su Yuan’s approach but also lifted him into the air, making him a floating target!
“Flame Destruction Pulse!”
In the heat of battle, a swift gaze exchange allowed the four to cooperate seamlessly.
Ling Long and Zheng Chun attacked Su Yuan and held back the Hellfire Beasts.
Tang Huamei provided long-range firepower, while Fang Mingyu acted as a free agent, assisting attacks and protecting Tang Huamei.
Thus, Fang Mingyu set up a wind trap around Tang Huamei in advance, waiting for Su Yuan to fall into the trap, creating this opportunity!
Always prepared, Tang Huamei’s magic wand flared with fire as she pointed at Su Yuan.
The fire grew, sending a scorching flame shot from her wand.
Su Yuan struggled in the wind field, almost unable to dodge!
“Well-coordinated, now’s our chance!” Spectators from various academies brightened up at the sight.
However, just then, Su Yuan suddenly felt lighter, using the wind to swiftly ascend into the sky, narrowly dodging the flaming shot.
Not only that, Su Yuan stayed airborne as if unaffected by gravity.
This unexpected turn left Tang Huamei and the hopeful onlookers stunned.
Fang Mingyu quickly reacted, his expression tense.
“It’s the Perfect Level Elemental Magnetism Pressure!”
With thousands of Star Cards in the world, many knew common skills’ effects and traits, but most were still mysteries.
Fang Mingyu, as a Wind Element Star Card Master, happened to know some flying skills, including the Perfect Level Elemental Magnetism Pressure.
Seeing Su Yuan in the air, Fang Mingyu’s thoughts guided a surge of wind behind him to form two Wind Element wings, remarkably similar to He Huanyan’s previous flying skill, Wind Wings!
With a flap, winds roared as Fang Mingyu, wielding his longsword, soared into the sky to battle Su Yuan.
Tang Huamei supported with multiple fireballs.
“He can fly too!” Ling Long and Zheng Chun frowned from afar.
Initially, if Su Yuan couldn’t fly, they could fully utilize their combat capabilities.
They could have withheld the Hellfire Beasts and launched constant attacks.
Now, with Su Yuan airborne, Fang Mingyu and magician Tang Huamei could manage, but Ling Long and Zheng Chun found it more challenging.
At the Lower Three Levels, flying skills were exceedingly rare, not everyone possessed them.
Plus, unlike Zhou Hao, Ling Long and Zheng Chun were close-combat warriors, relying on superior physical strength, not adept at ranged skills.
ƝοѵǤᴑ.ᴄο
Thus, their threat to Su Yuan drastically reduced.
Seeing Zheng Chun being pushed back by the Hellfire Beasts, Ling Long immediately rushed to assist.
“Since he’s up there, let’s first take down the Hellfire Beasts and cut off his support!”
“Alright!” Zheng Chun agreed.
They both focused, each using their skills, engaging the Hellfire Beasts head-on…
In the air, Su Yuan dodged Tang Huamei’s skills while clashing with Fang Mingyu.
Though it seemed like a two-on-one, Fang Mingyu and Tang Huamei felt very pressured.
Firstly, they were unfamiliar with each other, lacking coordination.
Secondly, Instant Movement was extremely tricky…
Many had high-speed movement skills, but Instant Movement was rare.
Fast, agile, and almost without warning or trajectory!
Fang Mingyu attacked while staying alert for Su Yuan potentially Instant Moving to take out Tang Huamei.
Meanwhile, Tang Huamei found it hard to use wide-range skills amid the close combat, feeling restrained.
Moreover, using ultimate moves required considering Su Yuan’s potential to dodge with Instant Movement, needing Fang Mingyu to force Su Yuan’s Instant Move first.
Since they didn’t know each other’s precise abilities, they acted on their own judgment.
Tang Huamei, realizing the situation, decisively stopped assisting Fang Mingyu.
Her thoughts guided a significant amount of Star Power into her wand, radiating an increasingly intense fire element wave…
Seeing Tang Huamei seemingly preparing a powerful skill, Fang Mingyu knew he had to force Su Yuan’s Instant Move and restrain him!
With this in mind, Fang Mingyu attacked Su Yuan more aggressively, releasing Star Power silently into the surrounding void.
