54 Come to the door
◎Donores: Hahahaha! I'm here to see you, Gu Hezhi! ◎
In Yunchen's exclusive lounge at the opening ceremony, Huangfu Wen propped up his chin and looked at the terrifying death cross icicle on the screen, sighing:
"He Zhi looks a little angry. This newcomer probably won't be able to get up again. Maybe he won't be in the next class."
Yin Yu frowned at the disheveled Guo Yunzheng and pursed her soft red lips. She glanced at the live broadcast screen from Yu Li's perspective and saw that Yu Li was rapidly approaching Guo Yunzheng's location. She felt relieved and continued knitting a scarf with her hands. She said,
"That's the only way to teach these clueless rookies a lesson. Otherwise, do they really think we, Yun Chen, are anyone who can be trampled upon?"
"That's true. They went too far in bullying Yun Zheng. They used poison and hidden weapons, and even chopped the Soul-Loving Grass into pieces. These bad guys should be taught a lesson!" Fuling also agreed, shaking her head.
"Yes! I hate these meaningless people."
"So, Chief Gu did a great job!" Lin Qianqian and Lin Momo held hands together, leaning on each other intimately and continued with Fuling's words.
In the VIP lounge, three men of different styles and imposing manners sat on ebony carved chairs under a retro embroidered screen. The decoration here was elegant and quiet, and a faint fragrance emanated from the black and gold dragon-shaped incense burner.
Xuanye looked at Fei Yuxin, who was casually lying on the cushion with her chin propped up and eating purple jade grapes, and Yun Xiuzhu, who was holding a sky-blue ice-cracked jade teacup with a calm expression, and felt his solar plexus twitch.
"Why are you all staying here?"
"Tsk, staying at Yunchen's place isn't as comfortable as staying here with you. Besides, Miss Yuli isn't there either. I don't want to be with those little bastards. It's too noisy."
Fei Yuxin replied lazily, a few strands of dark blue hair scattered on his muscular chest, and the blue-green gem necklace sparkled, looking very seductive and sexy. He lowered his eyes, opened his mouth, bit off a juicy grape, and swallowed it with a movement of his throat.
Xuanye looked at Fei Yuxin, who was dressed in colorful clothes like a peacock spreading its tail, and felt that his eyes were burned by flames. He quickly shifted his gaze and looked intently at the girl on the light screen who was moving quickly and was as beautiful as a purple butterfly fairy. Her style was completely different from her usual style, but still very attractive.
He silently took note of the girl's appearance, thinking that he could give her some of this type of jewel accessories when they met next time, hoping that she would like them.
Unlike Xuanye and Fei Yuxin, Yun Xiuzhu opened an extra light screen from the perspective of Yunchen University. He looked at Ji Fangli, who was forced to collapse physically and mentally by Gu Hezhi, and nodded slightly with satisfaction. He didn't want the culprit who made her so angry to be eliminated so easily.
At the bustling opening ceremony, host Duan Jieshu excitedly exclaimed, "As expected of our Yunchen University's top leader! The man known as the 'Ice Approval'! He rushed over to support and counterattack in this critical moment. He's truly reliable! Compared to the other two, he's truly reassuring!"
"And judging from the big map, the rest of Yunchen's team is rushing over quickly. It seems Yunchen has successfully overcome this crisis and even gained a large number of points, widening the gap between them and other teams."
[Old Duan, just say Huangfu Xi and Donores' names, hahaha!]
[This is hilarious. Of the three chiefs, only Gu Shen is reliable. The others are always being held in the background by the commander, afraid that if they accidentally lose sight of him, their chief will disappear!]
[Tsk tsk, but after being hit by Gu Shen like this, it seems that Kukas will find it difficult to get up from now on.]
[To be honest, Ji Fangli's abilities are actually quite strong, but he's too aggressive (shrugs). Perhaps he simply doesn't have much of a sense of reality for these established, prestigious schools that consistently rank in the top ten.]
…
In a building behind the opening room, people were coming and going, many of them dressed as healers. This was the area where the eliminated players were treated for their injuries. Kukas and his team were lying in the emergency room, and S-level healers were there to remove the strings of rules that were wrapped around them, as they had been frozen into ice. Then other healers would treat them.
The circle surrounding this top-notch healer was filled with her students, who chattered about this rare case:
"These injuries are arguably the most serious they've suffered in recent days. Even if we heal them, they'll still suffer from significant psychological scars!"
"Gu Shen's control over power is truly remarkable. If other ice-type psychics were to freeze someone, their body would likely break due to uneven energy output, but Gu Shen doesn't. The energy in their bodies is very evenly distributed, which is truly rare."
"Yeah, I only noticed it when you mentioned it. It's actually possible to achieve such a balance!"
Standing in the middle, Li Lanru, a top-tier healer invited by the Federation to take charge, listened to the mutterings of her students and smiled helplessly. She waited patiently for the students to finish their discussion before speaking:
"Okay, I'm going to start pulling out the threads of rules now. This is a rare opportunity, so you must experience it carefully."
"Okay, instructor." The students around her responded in unison.
Li Lanru raised her hand and summoned a snow-white sika deer. It appeared and subconsciously rubbed against Li Lanru, chirping softly.
“Yoyo——”
It indicated that it was ready. Stars of light flashed around it, and these lights gathered into the shape of a brush in Li Lanru's hand. She held it carefully and began to clear the lines of rules that were entangled with them.
…
Yu Li quickly arrived at where Gu Hezhi and the others were. As soon as she arrived, she saw Guo Yunzheng, who was in a miserable state and covered in wounds, with large stains of blood on his clothes, and there was not much of the Enchantment Grass left. She frowned tightly and quickly switched to Jungle Dream to heal him.
He took a quick look at the ruined terrain and angrily said, "This is too much! We should bring them over and give them a good beating!"
Guo Yunzheng's emotions calmed down due to the arrival of Gu Hezhi and Yu Li. He felt the gentle four-leaf clover blending into his body, and his original wounds began to heal visibly. He looked at Yu Li, who was obviously angry, and said soothingly:
"Don't be angry. Gu Shen has already taught them a lesson for me. They were miserable when they were eliminated. The Soul-Loving Grass has been protecting me the whole time. Gu Shen also arrived just in time. I wasn't seriously injured, I just looked a little miserable."
"It is indeed the Soul-Loving Grass and Chief Gu who have done great things." Yu Li listened to his comfort and slowly calmed down. She looked at the Soul-Loving Grass lying on the ground, constantly absorbing healing energy, and encouraged him:
"Then after the preliminary round, how about I treat Xiao Mi to a feast? The Soul-Loving Grass did a great job this time!"
“Rustle!!!!”
The Soul-Loving Grass that was originally lying on the ground stood up instantly. The ordinary grass looked much more energetic. It took the initiative to offer its emerald green leaves to Yu Li to touch.
Yu Li smiled and touched it, agreeing with it to ignore Guo Yunzheng who was trying to stop them from behind. However, Gu Hezhi, who had been silent at the side, spoke at this time:
"What about me?"
"Hmm? How about we have a nice meal together after the preliminary round? We can go to that famous Taoist restaurant, Sifang Pavilion. I think the dishes there will suit your taste."
She remembered that the pictures on Star Network last time were all square dishes, and Chief Gu should like them very much!
When Yu Li heard Gu Hezhi's sudden question, she was stunned for a moment, then turned around and spoke to the handsome man in front of her with an indifferent expression.
"As for a dinner party, I think we can go after dinner..." Guo Yunzheng also came over at this time and actively offered suggestions.
Not long after the three of them were chatting, Xie Yi and Han Chengfeng arrived one after another, and the Yunchen team gathered again.
After a night of traveling and fighting, the sky was already bright. It was the last day of the competition and the countdown began - there were only 12 hours left.
The five people gathered together to discuss. Since the four of them had killed a team each, they had enough points. So they planned to take a break and kill some more monsters in the last few days instead of looking for other teams to get points.
While Yu Li and the others were resting, a group of people from Gran University were hunting exotic beasts and looking for any other teams that came to provoke them. Unfortunately, they didn't encounter any such blind teams during their entire journey.
Donores was already very impatient with such a boring task. It was not as exciting as the faction battle a few days ago. On the contrary, Yan Qianxing had been diligently pulling the longbow, shooting flaming arrows at a high speed, taking the lives of the fleeing beasts one by one.
Samuel had long noticed Donores's constant patience. He raised his hand to look at the real-time score list on the bracelet and noticed that Yun Chen's score had been increasing at an abnormal rate for a while. He guessed that he was probably ambushed and killed in return.
After Team Gran had killed the group of strange beasts, Samuel spoke before Donores exploded:
"Our current points are already sufficient. Even the points gained from hunting exotic beasts are not enough to improve our ranking. After all, Yunchen University's current score is around 6.15 million, which is almost double the points. I speculate that they must have encountered an ambush from a school ranked in the twentieth century. However, they must have fought back to achieve such a big increase."
Sure enough, Donoles calmed down when he heard the name of Yunchen University. Listening to Samuel's words, Donoles' eyes slowly lit up, and his originally fierce expression became silly. The black flames surrounding his arms began to shake violently. He looked at the man with black knife-shaped earrings on both ears with expectant eyes.
As expected, Samuel lived up to his expectations and said, "So, in this final time, you can choose what you want to do? Rest, continue hunting exotic beasts, or find an opponent you're interested in?"
"Go find Gu Hezhi!" Donores stood up and said loudly, a few strands of red hair swaying with his movements.
Samuel nodded as expected and looked at the other team members. Yan Qianxing also wanted to go and nodded in agreement. Avitt also had no objection. He said, "No problem. If the Chief wants to find someone, I can open the Eye of the Void. Where is Joseph?"
Donores gave Everett a look of a good brother, and then looked longingly at his nanny Joseph, with a hint of meaning.
Joseph smiled gently and said, "I have no objection. If the Chief wants to do it, then go ahead and do it. We will all support you!"
"Okay! Let's go then!!!" Donores said excitedly.
…
After Yu Li and the others had rested, they continued to kill the monsters. Time slowly approached an hour. Not long after they had killed a huge, hideous snake-like monster, Gu Hezhi and Yu Li suddenly looked in one direction.
Yu Li was a little confused: Who are those fire-attributed rule powers?
Gu Hezhi was already very familiar with it. He raised his hand and a cross flew over, carrying an endless sense of coldness.
“Squeak!!!”
The cold ice spikes collided with the scorching black flames, sending out a large amount of white steam. Donores waved his hand, and the black flames instantly filled the sky and earth. His black hair spread out, and a few strands of bright red dyed in it stood out against the overwhelming black flames. He looked at Gu Hezhi, whose expression was cold, and his eyes burned with the fire of fighting spirit. He said:
"Hahahaha! Gu Hezhi, let's have another match!!"
Hmm... I think it would be better for the chief of Gran University to keep quiet.
Yu Li looked at Donoles who was showing his dominance with a wave of his hand, but as soon as he opened his mouth, it felt like he instantly turned from a wolfdog into a husky, and she couldn't help but complain in her heart.
