Chapter 265: Chapter 217: Beheading the Gold
B-3 Island, southern coast.
In the distant sea, a dense, dark mass could be seen. This was far more terrifying than the previous two hundred-plus Star Beasts!
At the island’s edge, eighty members from five squads of the Demon Capital Academy, along with over two hundred and sixty students from other academies, had arrived and were ready for battle. A Barrier Master from the military, escorted by soldiers, also arrived to activate the trap barrier.
Meanwhile, in the sky above, three academy teachers, including Yu Hui, flew over the large group of Sea Beasts, continuously casting spells. Waves of intense Star Power Fluctuation emanated from the three.
“Are the Shining Star level going to take action?”
Many students looked towards the distant sky with a sense of anticipation.
Stranded on the island, facing at least 1,500 Sea Beasts, 99% of the students had no way out.
To escape by air, they would need Flying Skills, which those in the Lower Three Levels would typically lack.
And as for escaping by sea…
Even for Water Element Star Card Masters, unless they were extremely lucky, it would be nearly impossible to break through.
In such a situation, the main source of confidence for students from all academies was the Shining Star level individuals in the sky!
At this moment, accompanied by a peculiar fluctuation, the three in the sky completed their magic techniques.
In Yu Hui’s hand appeared a dark blue, half-foot-long rhombus-shaped ice crystal, bearing a Frost Rune filled with rich Ice Element.
Yu Hui took a look at it and then threw it toward the sea.
The object fell from the sky and immediately drew the attention of many Sea Beasts below.
Some nearby Sea Beasts launched various long-range Star Power Impacts at the crystal, including water bubble bombs, acid sprays, and black jade ink…
But the ice crystal was quite strange, not only did it remain unaffected by the attacks, it also froze all forms of water element attacks that came its way in an instant.
Soon, the ice crystal landed on the back of a Sea Beast with hard fish scales, piercing right through it and falling into the sea.
The sea surface paused slightly, and the surrounding Sea Beasts suddenly felt an enormous threat from their instincts, frantically fleeing in all directions!
Yu Hui’s eyes narrowed, and he said, “Art is freezing!”
The next moment, a terrifying, bone-chilling cold erupted from the sea!
From where the ice crystal fell, the sea surface began to freeze rapidly in all directions at an astounding speed, turning an area nearly a kilometer wide into a massive ice cube in just a few seconds!
The ice cube floated up slowly, rising over three hundred meters above the sea level.
Inside, hundreds of lifelike Sea Beasts frozen in their panicked escape.
Bronze level, Silver Stage… even Gold Level!
As long as they did not escape this range, they were all frozen within the ice cube, like a magnificent, naturally formed artwork!
“Crack, crack, crack…”
The sound of ice shattering continuously echoed, and the entire ice cube turned into a myriad of ice shards, vanishing before the astonished eyes of the numerous students on the shore…
As Yu Hui made his move, Teacher Yao from Wanzhou Academy and Teacher Zhang from Qing Province Academy also took action.
Teacher Yao performed a Sealing gesture towards the densest cluster of Sea Beasts, causing the sea in that area to quickly sink in. The circulating water currents dragged all the Sea Beasts in its range, the Rapid Flow slicing them to shreds like a knife, slaughtering all the Star Beasts within.
Teacher Zhang’s method was more straightforward and violent. He smashed his hands downwards, causing massive water pillars resembling Sea Demon Tentacles to surge into the sky, creating chaos. Sea Beasts were dragged up, slapped to death, or torn apart, their blood staining the sky!
Glacial Abyss, Abyssal Depths, Sea Demon Tentacles…
Each Blue Skill, in the hands of the Shining Star level powerhouses, wielded mountain-and-sea-shifting power!
In terms of power and range, these skills, backed by the immense Star Power of the Shining Star level, far exceeded the effects Gold Level could ever achieve!
The numerous vicious Sea Beasts had almost no resistance to such overwhelming power, falling like pigs to the slaughter!
Over 1,500 Sea Beasts were reduced at a visible rate, and soon, only about a thousand remained!
Even Gold Level Sea Beasts, once caught in the trio’s attack range, could barely withstand it!
“Such is the Shining Star level…”
On the southern coast, Su Yuan watched the three in the sky, a serious look in his eyes.
It was the first time Su Yuan had seen Shining Star level in action, and the gap was even larger than he had imagined, like heaven and earth!
“Just their Star Power alone crushes the Gold Level. Not to mention those Star Card Masters in Second Awakening can use the power of Soul Cards.”
Su Yuan shook his head. Shining Star level opponents were not something he should consider now.
By this point, the three teachers’ super-strong AOE attacks had slaughtered three to four hundred Sea Beasts, but more were diving into the deep sea, speeding towards B-3 Island.
Yu Hui asked the other two teachers, “Teacher Yao, Teacher Zhang, did either of you detect any Shining Star level?”
“No.”
“Neither have I.”
Yu Hui nodded, “Then let’s try to kill a few more. This number still poses a challenge for the students below.”
“Alright, let’s go!”
After their brief exchange, their forms gleamed and they dove down into the water to continue hunting.
…
After a while, large groups of Sea Beasts charged onto B-3 Island.
