"Isn't this too early for them? We still have to see the results of their training in the confidential class this month." said another elder.
"Indeed, we still need to take a closer look. This is also for the sake of being responsible for their lives."
"Hey, first of all, which team will win?"
"I think it's Chen Yan and the other eight."
"I think the Tiger-Wolf Squad has a good chance of winning. Even though they're being suppressed right now, don't forget that they've been in the Secret Academy for a few years. Their overall strength isn't too bad. They won't lose to the Freshman Squad."
Several elders from the confidential institute expressed their opinions.
…
At this time, Chen Yan and his eight men were walking side by side, followed by the ten men of the Tiger and Wolf Squad. The distance between them was getting closer and closer, and an atmosphere of urgency ensued.
The people on the track included Qi Lingxuan and eight others, as well as the five senior students.
They noticed that Chen Yan, the Tiger and Wolf Squad and the others did not take them seriously, and they felt a little unhappy.
Seeing that Chen Yan and the others were about to finish the second lap, while they had not yet passed the first lap, they naturally felt a little unbalanced.
Huo Baoer and the others were at the fifth level at this time. Seeing Chen Yan and the others quickly join them, Huo Baoer's eyes darkened. A hidden weapon slipped out from under her sleeve, and she aimed at Chen Yan's back and threw it.
When Chen Yan sensed the murderous aura coming from behind him, he immediately turned around to defend himself.
clang!
A hidden weapon was knocked down.
The person who knocked down the hidden weapon was Pei Wusu. He put away the black sword and turned his head slightly to glance at Huo Baoer.
Chen Yan followed his gaze and her eyes fell on Huo Baoer, and she saw that she looked panicked as if she had been discovered.
Huo Baoer...
Chen Yan's expression grew increasingly cold. She saw that Long Xiuming and the others were almost catching up, so she said to Pei Wusu, "Let's go first."
Pei Wu Su nodded.
The two continued forward.
Huo Baoer, who was still standing there in a daze, turned pale and panic flashed across her eyes. She was actually discovered by them!
Soon, she calmed down. Even if they found out, so what? She just wanted to deal with Chen Yan, just wanted to deal with their team, and didn't want them to win!
Long Xiuming quickly entered the fifth checkpoint. His expression was fierce: "Don't even think about escaping!"
At the critical moment, Yu Changying, Xiao Zechuan, Wen Yuchu, Jiang Xianyue, Zhuge Youlin, Pei Wusu, and Chi Yue all passed the fifth level and completed another lap!
But Chen Yan stayed at the fifth level.
"Yan Yan!" Jiang Xianyue looked back and saw Chen Yan still stuck at the fifth level. She exclaimed.
Because Long Xiuming is almost catching up with Chen Yan!
Chen Yan's eyes were cold and indifferent. Clutching the Spirit Phoenix Sword, she stood at the fifth checkpoint, like a plum blossom in the cold wind, her pride unconcealed. She said calmly, "Keep going. I'll hold them off. Don't waste time."
Her voice was neither arrogant nor impatient, and seemed to have the ability to calm people's hearts.
Jiang Xianyue and the others looked at her back with mixed feelings.
"Chen Yan, let me cover your retreat next time!" Zhuge Youlin couldn't help but shout, his eyes dark. He felt that since he was older than Chen Yan, he should take care of her like a younger sister, but now, she was the one taking care of him...
Chen Yan: "Don't talk nonsense."
Pei Wusu's eyes turned and he said in a deep voice, "Let's go."
Chen Yan buys them time. This is both a tactic and a strategy.
If the eight of them passed together, the Tiger and Wolf Squad would also pass without any obstacles. At that time, the distance and speed of the two teams would not be much different, almost the same. However, the Tiger and Wolf Squad had two more people, so in the subsequent competition, their team's total number of laps would lag behind the Tiger and Wolf Squad.
Chen Yan stopped the Tiger Wolf Squad alone in order to buy them time and to have a chance to knock the members of the other team into the vortex hurricane. Then, the other members' laps would not be completed and would not be counted in their results.
Jiang Xianyue's face darkened. She withdrew her gaze and re-entered the 'Mountain of Knives' area as quickly as possible.
The others quickly followed.
Seeing this, Long Xiuming couldn't help but feel anxious. He then sneered at Chen Yan and said, "How long do you think you can stop me? Your cultivation level is not even at the Earth Level. You were able to rank first in the entrance test before, but it was only because of your summoning ability. Now that you can't perform summoning magic, your trump card is useless!"
After Long Xiuming finished speaking, he avoided the layers of traps at the fifth level and approached Chen Yan's position with a mace in hand!
"Get out of here!"
With a roar, Long Xiuming struck Chen Yan hard with almost all his strength.
clang——
Chen Yan raised her sword to block, but the sudden heavy blow put great pressure on her arms. Despite this, she still blocked the attack.
Long Xiuming's expression changed slightly.
How is that possible?
How could she possibly block his attack that was almost at his full strength?
Chen Yan's arms were numb from the shock. She gritted her teeth, forced his mace away with a sword, then took the initiative to rush towards Long Xiuming and stabbed him in the chest with a sword.
With a bang, Long Xiuming, holding up his mace, blocked Chen Yan's sword attack.
Long Xiuming's expression changed, his gaze fixed on her hand gripping the hilt of the sword. The gauze bandaged around her hand was almost stained red with blood. His expression changed from the previous gloom, and the corners of his mouth curved up. "You're quite capable indeed! But how long can you hold on?"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Long Xiu knew that her hands were injured, so he picked up the mace and smashed it hard against her Spirit Phoenix Sword. Every time he hit her, the wounds on Chen Yan's hands would be broken. The waves of stabbing pain made Chen Yan's face turn pale in an instant.
Long Xiuming wanted to torture her deliberately, but Mei Songxue's anxious voice came from behind him.
"Brother Long, they have entered the second level!"
Long Xiuming took a look and saw that Jiang Xianyue and the other seven had already entered the 'sea of fire' area and were heading towards the third checkpoint at an extremely fast speed.
Long Xiuming's face darkened instantly, and he stared at Chen Yan with eyes as sharp as a blade.
"It's time for you to go down!"
He roared angrily, not intending to tangle with Chen Yan anymore. Although he was big, he was extremely agile. In a flash, he had already arrived behind Chen Yan, raised his mace with both hands, and wanted to knock Chen Yan down from the whirlpool hurricane.
Chen Yan dodged even faster.
She turned her wrist slightly and swept the sword across.
The sword wind was cold and pierced Long Xiuming's abdomen in an instant. Although the wound was not deep, blood soon seeped out.
Long Xiuming felt pain and was enraged.
Why is this Chen Yan so difficult to deal with?
"court death!"
Long Xiuming's attack speed increased, and at this time, Chen Yan abandoned the long sword as a weapon. She dodged continuously. The weight rings on her feet affected her movements to a certain extent.
With a "bang", Chen Yan's left shoulder was hit by the mace. In an instant, she felt the pain of broken bones and flesh, and her face turned pale.
She gritted her teeth and endured the pain, and suddenly a red flaming dagger appeared in her right hand. She raised her eyes suddenly, and her gaze was as cold as the air across a glacier, cold and terrifying.
She stepped forward, her figure so fast that it was almost invisible.
