Outside the secret realm.
Everyone saw Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo being pulled into the [Challenge Arena].
Although the two commentators were not confident, they still maintained their professionalism.
“The two participants of Yaoguang Academy have activated the [Challenge
Arena]! Looks like they want to fight Wang Xiao to the death!”
“That’s right! Moreover, after the internal strife in Yaoguang Academy just now, the helpers they broke the rules to get have disappeared. I wonder if they found their conscience and let the helpers leave?”
“Compared to this, I want to know more about the direction of this battle. Although Wang Xiao only has the talent of a beast tamer lord, his strength is obvious to all!”
“In that case, I think these two participants from Yaoguang Academy are a little conceited. Is it a wise move to give up their helpers to personally fight Wang
Xiao?”
Listening to the two commentators speak one after another, Chen Jinrong’s expression darkened slightly. On one hand, he felt that these two people were noisy, but he was more worried.
Under Chen Jinrong’s cover many times, the audience only thought that this was a simple academy ranking assessment. However, he might know better than the participants in the secret realm how dangerous the situation was! “It’s been so long. Why hasn’t the assault team gone in yet?”
Chen Jinrong was secretly anxious when his gaze suddenly focused. He discovered that in the corner of the screen, in the sky above the lava field, a light blue spatial vortex was slowly expanding.
Due to the angle and distance, the light blue spatial vortex was inconspicuous in the sky. Even the audience watching the battle did not notice it.
However, the anxious Chen Jinrong still noticed it at a glance. At the same time, his heart that was in his throat slowly relaxed.
Secret realm, lava field.
A few minutes ago.
The ten people of the Kaiyang Academy were gathered on an isolated island. Fang Tianyu, Tang Hengshan, Han Bufan, Yang Fan, and Lin Dong stood on one side, and two boys stood on the other. The remaining two boys and one girl in the middle. Everyone’s expressions were not good.
Fang Tianyu looked at the two boys opposite her and frowned. “I’m the captain.
I’ve decided to support the Yuheng Academy now. Are you going or not?!”
“You’re just a temporary captain!”
One of the boys replied coldly, “Do you really think you have so much power?”
The person who spoke was called Liang Shuang. He was once ranked eleventh in the Kaiyang Academy, but after Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo transferred schools, he also ranked in the top ten.
As soon as Liang Shuang finished speaking, another boy called Sun Weiting added, “I felt that something was wrong from the beginning. From the beginning, you told us to kill mutated beasts here and said it was to hide our strength. Then why don’t we have to hide it anymore?
“Moreover, Wang Xiao is no longer a Kaiyang student. What does it have to do with us whether he’s in danger or not? Dont forget that this is the academy’s ranking assessment. Now that you’ve helped him, can he give up the championship?”
“You guys!”
Fang Tianyu was instantly suffocated. She wanted to talk about the Purple Star invasion, but she was afraid that these two would be frightened and not dare to go. However, if she did not say anything, she did not know how to convince them.
If it were any other time, Fang Tianyu might have abandoned these people and gone directly. However, when she saw Wang Xiao in the artificial secret realm previously, she had already told Wang Xiao about all ten participants of the Kaiyang Academy.
The missions and plans Wang Xiao gave them were also based on the [Lord Talent] and strength of these ten people. Every one of them had their own use. Not a single one of them could be missing!
However, now that these two people insisted on not going, even the remaining three people were watching. If Fang Tianyu could not convince Liang Shuang and Sun Weiting, the five of them would probably be the only ones who would support Wang Xiao in the end.
Looking back at the challenge ring on the ice mountain venue, Fang Tianyu was anxious and helpless.
At this moment, Tang Hengshan suddenly walked in front of the two boys and said coldly with a dark expression, “If the captain asks for support, we’ll go and provide support. If you don’t go, you’re disobeying orders. Do you believe that I’ll deal with you?”
Tang Hengshan was a full head taller than the two boys. Coupled with his burly figure, just looking at him made others feel extremely oppressed.
The two boys were so frightened that they shrunk their necks in unison. Indeed, they were no longer arrogant. However, Liang Shuang still braced herself and replied, “The captain’s orders might not be all right! We’re not his vassals. Why should we listen to her for everything?!”
Sun Weiting swallowed and said, “The few of you usually hang out with Fang Tianyu. Now that you’re so obedient to her, don’t tell me you’re up to something unspeakable?”
Hearing this, the three people watching immediately looked at Fang Tianyu strangely.
Although Fang Tianyu was the famous ice goddess of the Kaiyang Academy, she had indeed been hanging out with these four boys recently. No one said anything on the surface, but rumors had already begun to spread behind her back.
Fang Tianyu had heard many versions of the rumors herself, but she had a clear conscience and did not take them seriously. However, the four boys who treated her like a sister could not listen to this.
“What did you just say?”
Han Bufan’s expression darkened. He walked in front of Sun Weiting in a few steps. Yang Fan and Lin Dong also walked over. Although they did not say a word, they also had unfriendly expressions.
Suddenly surrounded by these four people, Sun Weiting’s face turned pale.
Just as the atmosphere was tense, the girl watching suddenly cried out in surprise. Everyone who had been attracted looked up in the direction of her gaze and saw that a spatial vortex had unknowingly opened in the blue sky!
“What’s that?”
Tang Hengshan frowned in confusion. “There are still participants who haven’t entered?”
“No! It’s reinforcements!”
The sharp-eyed Fang Tianyu cheered. Then, a figure descended from the sky and landed on the ground. It was a young officer in the military uniform of the Blue Planet!
Almost at the same time, another group of figures landed on the ground. There were at least thirty of them. They were all wearing the military armor of the Blue Planet, and a murderous atmosphere spread with their appearance.
As if he had not expected to encounter so many people, the young officer was stunned for a moment before saluting. “Don’t be afraid. I’m the commander-in-chief of the Kaiyang Military Region, Qi Lianjun—are you participants from the Kaiyang Academy?
“Yes!”
Fang Tianyu agreed and hurriedly went forward. “I’m the captain, [Frost Lord] Fang Tianyu.”
“Hello, I heard Wang Xiao mention you.”
Qi Lianjun nodded and asked softly, “How’s the situation now?”
“I don’t know.”
Fang Tianyu shook her head with a difficult expression. “I’m here to lead a team to reinforce Wang Xiao, but I encountered a little trouble…”
Qi Lianjun looked at Liang Shuang and Sun Weiting, thought for a moment, and saluted again. “In the name of the Kaiyang Military District, I’m informing everyone that the academy ranking assessment has been suspended. You’ve been temporarily recruited by the Kaiyang Military District.. Please cooperate
with us next!”
