In the vast sea of forests, a young girl was holding a rapier, sliding at a steady pace as a group of mysterious creatures gradually gathered behind her.
"That's enough, Ari, don't attract too many monsters. Lingling, open the barrier."
"receive."
Mu Li, who was luring monsters, stopped his "eye-catching" talent, suddenly accelerated, and skillfully got rid of the pursuers.
"receive"
Gong Lingling formed seals with her hands, and her slender fingers wearing spiritual gloves flew and danced. A gray-white barrier emerged like an upside-down giant bowl, and the creatures in the secret realm were confined in the "bowl".
Xie Wutong was high in the sky, and the blazing red wings behind him emitted a scorching heat, as if competing with the sun above his head.
She looked down at the beasts that were about to turn into ashes and were trapped tightly, and calmly raised her long sword.
The next moment, the dancing flames on the wings gathered on the tip of the knife.
Xie Wutong spun forward and slashed. The heat and sharp blade light on the tip of the knife were thrown out at a high speed and instantly reached the restless herd of beasts in the secret realm below.
"Bang!"
【Points earned: 28】
【Candidate: Xie Wutong
Current rank: 3
Current points: 34]
With just one strike, he killed 20 secret creatures that faced the fire and blade!
The other affected creatures were not in much better condition, and most of them were seriously injured.
“Squeak!”
The sword blade cut through the flesh of the beast, easily harvesting points.
【Points earned: 11】
【Candidate: Mu Li
Current ranking: 12
Current points: 15]
【Points earned: 7】
[Candidate: Gong Lingling
Current ranking: 14
Current points: 13]
"Sister Wutong, which direction are we going next?"
Gong Lingling asked as she gripped the dagger and pulled it out from the neck of the last prey.
Xie Wutong put away the flame feather and floated down to his companions' side.
"No, we're going to hunt the children of aristocratic families. I've received requests for help from reformist groups in other cities. They're too rampant, and we need to dampen their spirit."
"Is it too late?"
"The secret realm is too vast. It's definitely too late. We can only fight back in a tit-for-tat manner."
The three of them decided on their next target and without stopping, quickly headed towards the location of the reformist team that had recently reported being attacked.
At this time, the battle there was not over yet. The aristocratic family faction headed by Li Gao, the eldest son of the Li family in Mao City, was besieging other candidates.
In the past half day, the candidates have gained some points more or less. If they can snatch these points from the besieged candidates, it will be more than enough to rush to the top of the list in one fell swoop.
Therefore, Li Gao, whose ranking had dropped, set his sights on ordinary candidates nearby.
The aristocratic faction does not want its monopoly position to be broken, so how could they allow other candidates to rank at the top?
"Be ruthless and kill them directly."
The unified examination actually has a life-saving mechanism, but this year's unified examination is a tool used by the aristocratic families to exclude dissidents and stabilize the rear. The life-saving mechanism was destroyed as early as the beginning of the examination.
Li Gao spoke in a vicious tone, looking coldly at the people in front of him whom he considered to be inferior.
Those who are not from aristocratic families are either the common people who refuse to join or the reformists who intend to rebel. There is no need to keep them.
As for those with average talents, they are not considered human beings. At most, they are just cattle and horses. They can be killed at will.
The aristocratic families have stabilized the city's borders and allowed them to live in peace and stability for so many years. What's wrong with charging some interest?
Li Jie, Song Haomiao and some candidates from Yinshi West District were also among the group that was besieged.
There was a small team among them that were newly recruited members of the reformists, so they were caught red-handed by the children of aristocratic families who rushed over after smelling the scent.
"Hold the protective barrier. I've already called for help from those nearby. They'll be here soon!"
The leader of the reformist team loudly encouraged the people who were barely resisting.
Li Jie sighed in the crowd. He was almost exhausted now.
Although his realm was not high to begin with, he had already used a lot of spiritual energy in the previous head-on confrontation to enhance the status of those around him.
He knew that he couldn't hold on for much longer.
"Old Li, step back." Song Haomiao noticed that he was in poor condition and instantly deduced that he had overused his psychic power.
Li Jie didn't reply, but reached out and cast another power-enhancing state on him.
"Fuck, I don't need it! Stop wasting your little spiritual energy!"
"Everyone, pay attention! The enemy's next round of concentrated attack is coming!"
When Xie Wutong and his team arrived, the sun had already set, and warm blood and dying candidates were scattered on the nearby land.
This was obviously caused by a massive influx of attacks.
The desperate counterattack of the ordinary candidates caused some damage to the team of the aristocratic families, but this not only failed to repel the attackers, but instead made them furious.
The first time, the explosion knocked down nearby trees.
The second time, the surrounding land was plowed and leveled.
The third time, mud mixed with blood and flesh splattered, and a huge pit appeared out of nowhere.
"You! How dare you!"
Looking at the muddy pit that looked like a field full of corpses, he roared and questioned Li Gao, who was a little dusty.
"These are all our fellow tribesmen and peers, the backbone of our future defense against foreign invaders! Are you planning to betray our tribe?"
Li Gao sneered disdainfully, "I'm just cleaning up the house and allocating resources reasonably.
Our family's strong men have protected the human race for many years, and these freeloaders are actually endangering the internal stability of the human race under the guise of reform. They simply deserve to die."
"What nonsense!"
Xie Wutong was too lazy to talk to the scumbag anymore. Although he didn't know why the life support mechanism was not triggered, the most urgent task was to rescue the candidates in the pit.
Her talent was activated, and the blazing flames released a raging rage behind her.
Her companions also grasped their weapons tightly, ready to take advantage of any opportunity and clear out the minions around them.
The scorching heat wave rushed towards the enemy, and some young men around Li Gao who were only at the first level instantly got blisters.
Master Li waved his hand, and cold ice crystals formed in the surrounding air, blocking the scorching airflow.
"You don't know your own limitations!"
Xie Wutong's spiritual power suddenly erupted, and he rushed towards Li Gao in the blink of an eye.
Immediately afterwards, a powerful and heavy slash struck the floating ice armor, and the red high temperature instantly vaporized the crystal clear blue in front of it.
Li Gao doesn't have much spiritual energy left.
Xie Wutong immediately judged the enemy's condition by the thickness of the ice armor.
His strength is comparable to mine, but his spiritual energy reserves are running out at the moment, and he is at the end of his strength.
But why is he so calm when he is clearly at a disadvantage?
Looking at the other party's mocking expression, Xie Wutong became more and more uneasy.
If she were the only one here, she would fight to the death with the other side.
But she still has companions, and she cannot put her teammates who trust her in danger.
His anger cooled by responsibility, Xie Wutong slashed back, knocking Li Gao back, then turned and shouted to his companions, "Retreat!"
"Retreat? Too late!"
"Sister Wutong, be careful!"
One hand grabbed Xie Wutong's head and slammed it hard into the ground.
"Bang!"
