Upon hearing this, Chi Chen looked at the other two people still standing in the arena. He had some impression of them. One of them was named Qiu Sheng, whose forbidden ability was to enlarge or shrink his body at will, stretching it like a spring.
The other newcomer is named You Yu. His forbidden ability is the same as Xiang Ming's, a summoning ability that can materialize an incredibly tough armored rhinoceros. Both of them had two outstanding performances during the recent training camp.
From the equally unpleasant expressions on Qiu Sheng and You Yu's faces, Chi Chen knew that they hadn't gleaned any particularly useful information either.
"What should we do, Chi Chen? Should I just use Annihilation on him?"
Lin Bai leaned closer and whispered to Chi Chen.
Upon hearing this, Chi Chen thought it wasn't a bad idea. Lin Bai's Annihilation had a wider range and greater power than the previous Rebirth using ice blades. Under the bombardment of Annihilation, Lan Yue might actually reveal more of her true colors.
"It's worth a try!"
Chi Chen responded to Lin Bai in a low voice, and then secretly gave Gan Yuan and the other two a look that signaled them to retreat. Although the three were puzzled, they still retreated quickly. At the same time, Chi Chen also took a few steps back, leading everyone to increase the distance between themselves and Lan Yue.
"Slap! Slap!"
"Bang! Bang!"
As Lin Bai snapped his fingers twice, a small black hole appeared in front of Lan Yue and behind her.
"Annihilation? Just how many destructive-level forbidden and ultra-high-risk forbidden beings are among this batch of new students?!"
Surprise and helplessness appeared on the face beneath the Blue Moon mask. These two annihilation attacks must have consumed a lot of his mental energy, and there were still dozens of people in front of him. Even he couldn't completely block them from behind.
Moreover, Chi Chen, whom he had specifically sought out, was also among the crowd. Although Lan Yue had never seen Chi Chen make a move, his innate intuition told him that Chi Chen was definitely not simple.
In the distance, even the instructors looked at Lin Bai with some surprise. The power of those two annihilation attacks was truly impressive. This kid's mental strength had increased considerably since the beginning of the training camp.
"Won't he be blown up?"
The newlyweds, watching the two balls of fire radiating heat, raised their hands to shield their eyes slightly. They had never seen Lan Yue's figure emerge from the firelight.
A moment later, the firelight dissipated, and everyone immediately stared in that direction, their expressions instantly filled with shock.
"This won't hurt him at all?"
Chi Chen looked at the figure whose clothes hadn't even been annihilated or blown off by Lin Bai, and his heart was filled with fear of the unknown. If such a person really became his enemy, could he survive under his hand?
"Holy crap! Is he some kind of ghost that's immune to all attacks? Again?"
Lin Bai's mouth gaped open wide enough to fit an egg. His Annihilation technique hadn't even managed to destroy a single hair on the opponent's head.
"No need, you should save some of your mental energy for when you need it!"
Chi Chen reached out and stopped Lin Bai. Lin Bai's Annihilation was a powerful weapon. If the Seven Rainbows Squad came to support them, even if they couldn't win, they could use Lin Bai's Annihilation to cut off the enemy's pursuit and buy time for their own side to escape.
"Newcomers below the Radiant Realm, quickly scatter and retreat. Find hidden places to hide. Even if you can deplete his spiritual power, it probably won't be of much use. It's better to scatter and hide, increasing their search time. Perhaps we can hold out until the deadline!"
Chi Chen said to the new students behind him, "According to what Gan Yuan said earlier, even those at the Radiant Realm are few who can withstand Blue Moon's strange attacks, let alone Ming Deng. In the current situation, their previous plan to use sheer numbers is just a waste of time and energy to send Blue Moon to its death."
It would be better to let the newcomers of the Bright Lamp Realm scatter and hide.
"this..."
Upon hearing this, the new students from the Bright Light Academy were all somewhat unwilling and hesitant. In this first practical test of the training results, they seemed to be nothing more than prey to be slaughtered. Apart from hurriedly fleeing and hiding, they seemed to have no other options and might even be a burden to others.
"Don't be discouraged, everyone. Even if we all fail, we might still have to rely on you in the end. So you must hide well and try to find people with complementary forbidden abilities to work with, but don't have too many people, and try to spread out!"
Seeing this, Chi Chen also offered words of comfort.
Upon hearing this, the group stopped worrying and quickly went off in pairs to look towards various parts of the mountain. Chi Chen was right; they still had a numerical advantage. If they could buy enough time, they still had a chance to win.
As the newlyweds left, Lan Yue watched quietly without making a move. Firstly, he couldn't stop everyone from leaving, and secondly, he had already consumed a lot of his mental energy, so now was the time for him to recover it.
A few minutes later, only a dozen or so people remained around Blue Moon.
Lan Yue looked around and saw that the people who remained were all quite powerful. If they attacked at the same time, she would really be overwhelmed.
Especially with Lin Bai's annihilation, it would take a considerable amount of effort to neutralize his attack.
Lan Yue listened to the sounds coming from all over the mountain and felt somewhat helpless. The quality of the newcomers this time was quite high, and Zi Ye and the others must have encountered considerable obstacles, otherwise no one would have rushed up the mountain yet.
In the arena, the newcomers at the Bright Lamp Realm left, and the remaining Chi Chen and the others surrounded Lan Yue in the middle, but they did not rush to attack. All their previous attacks had been ineffective against Lan Yue, which made them somewhat unsure of how to make a move.
After a moment of silence, Lan Yue spoke first, because the longer the delay went on, the worse it would be for them.
"I have a suggestion that might be beneficial to you. What do you think, would you like to hear it?"
Upon hearing this, Chi Chen and the others looked at Lan Yue with some confusion. Why would she take the initiative to offer a suggestion that would benefit them?
"Sure! Any suggestions?"
Chi Chen spoke.
Having received a reply, Lan Yue looked at Chi Chen through her eyes beneath the mask and said:
“If the others don’t intervene, it’ll be a one-on-one fight between the two of us. If you can knock off or destroy the mask on my face, I’ll consider you the winner. How about that? Don’t worry, my team members listen to me and keep their word. Conversely, if you lose to me, it won’t count as a loss. The others can still attack me or run away and hide.”
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze to Chi Chen. Why would he make such a suggestion?
Did they know each other before?
But when they saw the same puzzled look on Chi Chen's face, they gave up on the idea.
"Chi Chen, did he fall in love with you at first sight?"
Lin Bai moved closer to Chi Chen, looking at Lan Yue and then at Chi Chen with some suspicion.
"roll!"
Chi Chen rolled his eyes at Lin Bai and cursed in annoyance, "Lin Bai's thoughts are getting more and more improper."
"Just kidding, just kidding! I was just trying to lighten the mood."
Seeing this, Lin Bai replied with a grin.
Chi Chen looked at Lan Yue. Was this person really targeting him?
But why?
Chi Chen pondered for a moment before speaking, "I have no problem with it, but this matter is not something I can decide alone."
"I have no objection!"
"I don't have any either!"
Seeing this, the others also agreed, since the terms were basically not disadvantageous to them; at most, they would lose one person.
Although Chi Chen performed well earlier, under these circumstances, his individual abilities were not enough to turn the tide, so they were naturally happy to accept it.
Perhaps during their battle, Chi Chen might be able to uncover the secret of Lan Yue's forbidden ability, which would be even more advantageous for them.
"Okay! It's settled then!"
Seeing this, Chi Chen stepped forward, and the others also took a few steps back, leaving enough space for the two of them.
"Then, let's go!"
A smile appeared on the face beneath the Blue Moon mask, signaling Chi Chen to attack. Now was the time to test the accuracy of his intuition.
Seeing this, Chi Chen didn't mince words. He drew his long sword from his waist, exerted force with his feet, and kicked up layers of dirt with his domineering power. In an instant, he arrived beside Lan Yue and slashed at her without hesitation.
The battle between the two instantly erupted.
