In the latter half of the night, when people are most tired, a terrified scream shattered the tranquility of the night and chased away everyone's drowsiness.
What happened?
Some people who were woken up looked around, only to be told by those next to them to look at the screen.
So everyone searched around the screen, and when they saw the monster on the screen, screams erupted one after another, almost shattering their eardrums.
"What is that?"
"What else could it look like? A ghost!"
"Oh my god, waaaaah, this is so scary!"
......
The timid audience members were so frightened that they cried out.
The ten judges sat before the screen, their faces grave. The two principals had already ordered all soldiers to protect the students; the competition had to be temporarily suspended.
"What are those things?" Principal Meng asked in confusion. Even though he had lived most of his life and was very knowledgeable, he had never seen such things before.
"It's neither human nor ghost; it must have escaped from an illegal laboratory. Tell the students and soldiers to be careful and keep these things away from them," Principal Zhang said.
The next second, a loud bang was heard, and everyone was stunned again. What happened?
Why are there still bombing sounds? Didn't Greedy Wolf Star start checking for bombs and other dangerous items more than twenty days ago?
"Principal, parts of those things can explode, with a power no less than that of a level four artillery shell. Also, what just exploded was a severed finger of the enemy," the soldier at the scene reported.
"Stay away from them," Principal Zhang said immediately.
"Have all the students board the mechs and escort them back safely," Principal Meng decided immediately.
No sooner had they finished speaking than several more explosions rang out.
"The situation isn't good." Principal Zhang turned to look at Li Ze, He Xingjue, and the others, his eyes pleading.
He Xingjue immediately stood up. "I'll go and meet them."
Li Ze also stood up, "I'll go too."
“No, you stay here. I’m worried they might have something else up their sleeve,” He Xingjue said. There were two or three hundred thousand spectators present; if something happened, it would be a huge disaster.
Li Ze wasn't going, but others could. He Xingjue turned to Zhou Yi and said, "Commander Zhou, let's go together."
“I can stay and protect the audience,” Zhou Yi said. Those inhuman, ghostly things were too disgusting, and he didn’t want to face them.
“Commander Zhou, I remember your White Tiger Legion is recruiting this year, right? If the students know you're sitting here, they might be unwilling to go and rescue people—”
"Yes, I'll go, I'm going right now!"
Besides He Xingjue and Zhou Yi, there were also many assistant judges backstage who piloted mechs to rescue the participating students.
With He Xingjue and Zhou Yi taking action, everyone present felt much more at ease.
While keeping an eye on the situation on the screen, Li Ze released his divine sense, covering the entire viewing area and the competition venue. He could sense any situation immediately.
He Xingjue and Zhou Yi arrived at the scene quickly, thinking that the situation would be brought under control soon. However, this was not the case. Explosions continued, and smoke filled the entire screen. People outside the screen could not know the specific situation at the scene and could only speculate from the sounds.
"Holy crap! Aren't they people? How can they fly?!"
"Holy crap, they dismantled my mech's energy system! Damn it! It ate my energy!"
"They're not living things at all, they're like growing robots!"
"Brother, give me a hand, I can't fly anymore."
"Damn, your mech is too heavy, I can't carry it. I told you to switch to a lighter mech a long time ago, but you wouldn't, you insisted on choosing this big guy, now you regret it. I'll give you two choices, first, you climb out of the mech and I'll carry you away, or you stay in your mech and continue to wait for rescue."
"Someone will help me transport the mech back afterwards, right?"
"Yes, yes, that is, provided your mech is still intact."
......
The students' noise actually drove away a lot of their fear.
Just as everyone's attention was focused on the screen, Li Ze suddenly stood up, walked to the host's position, took the microphone, and said, "Everyone, please note that no matter what happens, everyone should remain in their seats and not move around."
Everyone looked bewildered. What happened now?
"Remember, don't move from your seats. I will protect you." After saying that, Li Ze immediately took out a large and heavy sword from his spatial storage.
"Mr. Li Ze, what's wrong?" Principal Zhang asked anxiously.
"Headmaster, everyone, take out your weapons, something is coming." Li Ze stared at a certain spot in the sky and said without turning his head.
The next second, he leaped up and flew towards a certain place.
That's right, it's flying. No one can jump more than 100 meters from flat ground, not even the strongest sentry!
Wow--
Everyone present was stunned. What kind of operation was this?!
Is this even human?
Next, something even more shocking happened: the boy stopped in mid-air, raised his heavy sword, and slashed it down hard into the air!
Pfft—
Blood splattered everywhere as a huge black head crashed down from mid-air.
The boy also floated down from the sky.
Those are Void Beasts!
Everyone was terrified. Why was there such a thing?!
"It's a higher-level Void Beast," Principal Zhang murmured. "High-level Void Beasts don't appear easily, so how come there's one here?"
Principal Meng was also shocked. "I haven't seen this thing in decades. Don't delay, let's get into the mechs quickly. Our physical bodies are no match for this thing."
As he spoke, Principal Meng glanced at the boy on the field. This boy was probably no ordinary person.
At first, there were only one or two Void Beasts, but as the exit continued to grow, countless Void Beasts surged out like a thousand horses galloping out.
The audience screamed wildly, their first instinct was to run away.
"Don't run! Don't run around! Li Ze said to trust him!" someone shouted.
The crowd paused for a moment, then realized that the Void Beasts were unable to approach the audience seats, as if they were blocked by some kind of barrier.
Everyone was dumbfounded. What was going on?
Next, Void Beasts appeared in front of, behind, and in the sky of the audience, but none appeared in the audience area.
Something is protecting the stands!
At that moment, they remembered Li Ze's promise to protect them, and their eyes widened in disbelief. Could it really have been Li Ze? How did he do it?
On the field, Li Ze wielded a heavy broadsword, relying solely on his physical strength and graceful movements without the aid of a mecha, wreaking havoc among the void beast hordes. Every move he made was crisp and clean, without the slightest hesitation, and every strike drew blood.
Beneath his feet, the corpses of Void Beasts piled up like mountains, the heavy stench of blood almost making one vomit.
"One head slashed, one head slashed—such a bloody scene, yet I actually found beauty in it," one audience member murmured.
