Challenge Competition·Buzhou Mountain Arena (Part 4)
Lin Bai raised his head again and looked at the sky which had returned to normal. Colorful auspicious clouds were floating in the sky, like a painting, and the years were peaceful and tranquil.
However, when the other players looked up at the sky above the stadium, their expressions were different, and there was a bit of surprise in their eyes that was difficult to conceal.
They had clearly managed to avoid the aftermath of the collapse of the sky and the earth, but when they looked up, they saw a shattered sky. The sky that originally held the sun, moon, and stars high in the sky was now cracked with dark fissures, like an abyss that could swallow everything.
They stood on the ruins. Although they had tried their best to survive this level, a sense of powerlessness could not be suppressed in their hearts.
The change came unexpectedly.
The moment Lin Bai looked up, the other players noticed almost simultaneously that a multicolored beam of light suddenly flashed across the empty sky. The light penetrated the darkness, slowly spreading, and eventually, strands of light evenly fell across every arena.
Under the reflection of the light, the empty sky began to restore the real sky.
All the contestants' attention was drawn to this sudden change.
This scene was not only noticed by the players, but even the audience in the live broadcast room clearly captured this change.
[This light seems to be the five-colored divine light that Lin Bai just released! ]
So, Lin Bai's actions were unnecessary? Will the sky recover naturally? But her physical stats have clearly gotten stronger! She's clearly a human, but I just checked the official rankings, and her ranking has actually risen!
[We don't understand it anyway, so let's wait and see.]
At the same time, in the Challenge Control Center—
"What's going on?!"
"Is there a problem with the system? Why are the skies of all the stadiums being repaired simultaneously?"
"Report! System data has not detected an unknown energy interfering with the copy operation, causing changes in all copy environments!"
Inside the control center, a group of technicians looked at each other in bewilderment. They had never encountered such a situation before.
Suddenly, a data analyst's pupils shrank as he pointed at the fluctuating data on the screen, his tone unable to conceal his shock. "Here! Look! At this very moment, the logic flow of all the fields has undergone a subtle 'drift' and has ultimately been calibrated to a unified state! And the source of this 'calibration' is Lin Bai's field!"
The hall fell into a brief silence, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the largest video screen in the center.
In the image, Lin Bai lay quietly on the grass, her face still pale, having clearly experienced an extremely exhausting battle. Around her, the multicolored divine light still faintly lingered around her body.
Gu Ping stared at the screen silently for a long time before he gently tapped the table and asked in a deep voice, "What was the final result?"
"...All the contestants' arenas are merging into Lin Bai's arena."
"In other words," the data analyst took a deep breath, "the fifteen venues that were once isolated from each other are now being merged, and all the players may meet."
Silence.
The technicians in the control center were stunned.
"That's impossible..." someone murmured softly. "The challenge's dungeon mechanism is strictly isolated. Even the highest-authority controller can't directly alter the generated dungeon structure."
"But it really happened." The data analyst pointed to the coordinate data on the screen and said in a low voice, "The spatial coordinates are shifting. In other words, all the stadiums are converging towards Lin Bai's stadium."
Gu Ping's eyes darkened slightly when he heard this.
She leaned back in her chair, staring at the girl in the picture who was quietly looking up at the sky, her fingertips tapping lightly on the table.
After a long silence, she finally withdrew her gaze and said in a steady and calm tone: "Monitor the situation and do not interfere for now."
She glanced at all the technicians and said slowly, "If this is truly an unavoidable process, then let it proceed. Observe, record, and ensure fairness. As for the rest…" She paused, her lips curled up slightly, "Let the bullets fly for a while."
Everyone was shocked and thought about something.
Gu Ping raised his eyes, his gaze deep, "This group of young people is the one that the top management is most optimistic about. The future may lie in their hands."
——
Meanwhile, Lin Bai quietly gazed up at the sky, feeling the strength gradually returning to him. A gentle breeze rustled through the grass, bringing a sense of tranquility, as if this moment of peace could last forever.
However, the next moment, her perception was suddenly shaken - a strange breath was approaching rapidly!
Lin Bai immediately became alert, his eyes scanning the surroundings like an eagle, and he cautiously advanced towards the direction of the collapsed Buzhou Mountain. Although Buzhou Mountain had collapsed, the two giants in the distance remained motionless - perhaps the key to passing the level was hidden there.
However, the strange aura was getting closer and closer.
Lin Bai's forehead was covered with sweat, and his body tensed up involuntarily. He quickened his pace while being alert to his surroundings.
"Bang!"
She was caught off guard and bumped into a hard object, and felt a sharp pain in her shoulder.
Lin Bai's expression changed slightly and he turned around suddenly.
There was clearly nothing there just now, but now, a familiar figure stood before her eyes——
Rock!
That mechanical boy.
Rock was obviously stunned as well, a hint of astonishment flashed in his metallic eyes.
Lin Bai's heart sank, and he instantly realized that something had gone wrong on the field.
Their eyes met, as if they were good friends who hadn't seen each other for years, and they understood each other's thoughts in an instant.
"Together?"
"I couldn't ask for more."
In this case, having one more person around can make you feel less lonely.
Rock leaned against Lin Bai, his mechanical back exuding the unique coldness of metal, while Lin Bai held the dagger tightly, and the two looked around vigilantly.
Suddenly, Lin Bai felt an invisible barrier appearing around him. Rock whispered, "It's a lava beast, get out of the way!"
Lin Bai turned around suddenly and saw a blazing fireball rushing towards her!
She dodged sideways in an instant, and the blazing flame brushed past the edge of her clothes and hit the ground directly.
The ground that was hit instantly burst into flames and turned into a scorched earth.
Lin Bai hurriedly whispered: "Yu dredged the Nine Rivers, established the Nine Provinces, worked diligently for the country, passed by his home three times without entering, and never stayed after achieving his goals. His virtue will be passed down to future generations."
Suddenly, the ground beneath Lin Bai's feet began to shimmer with light, and a shadow emerged from behind her.
He was a towering man, clad in bronze armor. His face was resolute and simple, his brow radiating a majestic calm. His figure was as majestic as a mountain, a shrouded in a shimmering mist, like a surging river, breathing in harmony with the heavens and the earth. In his right hand, he grasped a bronze dragon-patterned spear. With a gentle wave of his left, a gentle, moist breeze suddenly blew across the heavens and the earth.
That is Dayu, the water god.
He stepped out from the shadow, the water rippling under his feet. A drop of water fell to the ground and instantly turned into a rushing and turbulent river. He gently raised his broad palm, and the heat wave in the air was instantly swallowed up by a vast water vapor.
The Lava Beast's roar shook the heavens and earth, and billowing waves of fire erupted from its body. The scorching air currents stirred up a storm in the air, cracking the surrounding ground. Its eyes were bloodshot, and after locking onto Rock, it suddenly raised its claws and struck down with a thunderous blow.
"boom!"
Rock's figure flashed, drawing a sharp silver arc on the ground, barely avoiding the all-out attack. The next moment, the lava beast's massive body suddenly rushed forward, scorching flames flowing from its rock armor, sweeping towards him like a violent fire snake!
"Gabaka, his body is as tall as a mountain and as strong as a rock."
Rock shouted in a deep voice, and a huge shadow appeared behind him, rushing straight towards the lava of the lava beast!
“Bang!”
Flames and metal collided violently. Although Gabaka could withstand the intense heat, the lava beast's impact was equally terrifying. Gabaka was shaken in the air, making a humming sound, and when he landed, his limbs sank deeply into the molten earth.
Rock frowned, his eyes cold. He murmured softly, "This isn't a solution."
The lava beast didn't give him a chance to breathe. It roared again, and its huge body suddenly leaped up and pounced forward.
Rock's expression remained unchanged. He suddenly swung his right hand, and Gabaka's huge metal body rushed forward and hit the lava beast's chest accurately!
"boom!"
The air seemed to stagnate as the two massive forces collided! The Lava Beast's massive body shook violently, and the rock armor on its chest cracked slightly from the alternating effects of moisture and impact. However, it was also completely enraged, and its entire body instantly expanded like an active volcano about to erupt!
Rock's eyes flashed, he knew that this was the time when the Lava Beast was at its most vulnerable.
"Lin Bai, the opportunity has come!"
He shouted loudly, and Gabaka suddenly jumped up and charged straight towards the cracked breastplate of the lava beast!
The Lava Beast sensed the threat and roared, raising its claws to intercept Gabaka. However, Dayu suddenly appeared, and with a flash of cold light from his long spear, he accurately cut through the Lava Beast's forelimb joints!
“Puff!”
The lava beast trembled violently, its movements slowed down for a moment, and the crack on its chest was exposed!
Rock seized the opportunity, and Gabaga stomped his limbs on the ground, bursting out at extreme speed. His metal body tore through the air and slammed hard into the crack of the lava beast!
“Crack!”
The lava beast's breastplate completely shattered, revealing the roiling flame core inside!
"Lin Bai!"
Hearing Rock's shout, Lin Bai had already taken off into the air, using Dayu's water vapor to protect his body, and went straight for the core of the lava beast.
“Puff!”
The dagger penetrated the core, and lava splashed everywhere instantly. The flames in the lava beast's eyes flickered violently, and it let out an unwilling wail, and its huge body fell down with a bang!
The flames died down, the charred rocks shattered, and silence returned to heaven and earth.
Lin Bai fell to the ground, breathing slightly, while Rock looked up at the remains of the lava beast, then looked at Lin Bai: "Well done."
Lin Bai chuckled and raised his hand to wipe the dust off his face: "You are not bad either."
They looked at the two giants who were still arguing in the distance.
