Seeing that Gao Lixuan seemed to want to agree, Zhou Xiruo immediately became anxious.
“Brother Xuan! You can’t agree!”
Zhou Xiruo shouted anxiously, “Liu Yuyang is very cunning! We can’t believe his words! ”
“But… I think what he said makes sense.”
Gao Lixuan revealed a troubled expression and looked at Zhou Xiruo. “Why don’t you also tell me your reason? Why do we have to eliminate them?”
Zhou Xiruo was immediately speechless. This was because even now, she did not know why Wang Xiao insisted on eliminating these two teams, but she believed that Wang Xiao must have a reason.
However, she could not expose Wang Xiao’s existence yet. What reason should she use to make Gao Lixuan reject the other party?
Seeing that Zhou Xiruo could not explain, Gao Lixuan sighed secretly. He waved his hand and called Yi Han over, as if he wanted to discuss it with him.
At this moment, the Ice Thunder Horn Wolf that had been silent suddenly moved. It waved its claws and slashed out a [Berserk Thunder], tearing through the air and heading straight for Liu Yuyang!
Clang!
The claw broke through the air, causing a clang. This sudden attack exceeded everyone’s expectations!
When Liu Yuyang sensed that something was wrong, the claw attack had already arrived in front of him. His eyes turned cold as he pulled someone from the side and blocked it without hesitation!
BANG!
With a muffled sound, that person was sent flying by the huge force. Before he landed, he disappeared in a golden light. He had already been directly eliminated.
All of this happened in an instant. When everyone returned to their senses, they realized that the person who was used as a shield was actually Zhao Tiankuo!
“Liu Yuyang! We’ll fight you to the death!”
The people of the Xuanji Academy roared angrily and immediately summoned their soldiers to attack. When the people of the Nine Heavens Academy saw this, they subconsciously summoned their soldiers to fight.
The battle between the two academies was about to begin at any moment. The light of various attacks instantly drowned the entire battlefield.
Seeing this, Gao Lixuan hurriedly retreated with his men. He took a few steps to Zhou Xiruo’s side and questioned coldly, ‘Who asked you to attack! Can’t you see that we’re talking?!”
At this moment, Zhou Xiruo was confused because the sudden attack of the [Ice Thunder Horn Wolf] was not her order at all!
However, after seeing “Xu Junrou” in the base, Zhou Xiruo instantly reacted. She composed herself and replied in a low voice, “I’ve said it before. Liu Yuyang is very cunning. We can’t believe what he says!”
Gao Lixuan’s expression darkened when he heard this. “I’m the captain! It’s up to me to decide if I believe him, not you!”
Zhou Xiruo lowered her head and did not say anything, but she had no intention of apologizing.
Gao Lixuan was secretly angry for a while. In the end, he sighed helplessly. “Eliminate them!”
“Yes!”
The team members agreed in unison and immediately summoned their
soldiers to join the battlefield.
After the series of battles between Xuanji and Nine Heavens, they were already at the end of their rope. After the Yuheng Academy entered the battle domineeringly, the other party did not last long before they began to collapse.
A few minutes later, the battle ended. Only two people from Yuheng Academy were slightly injured, and the participants from Xuanji and Nine Heavens had already been eliminated.
Gao Lixuan glanced at Zhou Xiruo again and sighed helplessly. “No matter what, with the points of these two teams, we should have already locked onto first place, right?”
“I think so.”
Yi Han nodded and opened the interface to check the points of his team. “Xuanji Academy is ranked sixth. The entire team has 2,050 points, the entire Nine Heavens Academy has 550 points. Including Quan Shu’s 1,550 points, although I can’t see the points of the other academies, but…”
Before he could finish speaking, Yi Han suddenly said, “Huh?” He counted with his fingers for a moment and looked at Gao Lixuan in confusion. “Brother Xuan, the points are wrong. I think 100 points are missing…”
“100 points missing?”
Gao Lixuan was stunned. He also opened his interface and frowned after some calculations.
The four academies did not kill any mutated beasts, so they only obtained initial points from them.
After eliminating the academies ranked sixth, seventh, and ninth, the total points of Yuheng Academy should be 8,700, but now, they only had 8,600.
“It’s Liu Yuyang!”
At the side, Zhou Xiruo suddenly said, “When they eliminated the Quanshu Academy, their points were still normal, so the problem lies with Xuanji and Nine Heavens.”
“Among them, Xuanji Academy is ranked sixth. The initial points of the team members are 200, the captain points are 250, and the initial points of the members of Nine Heavens are 50. The Nine Heavens’ captain’s points are exactly the 100 points we lack!”
“I see!”
Yi Han and Gao Lixuan looked enlightened, but Yi Han immediately looked puzzled. “But when did he run away?
“It should be during the last battle.”
Gao Lixuan said coldly with a gloomy expression, “After that guy captured someone as a shield, he escaped while our attention was attracted by the battle.”
As he spoke, Gao Lixuan and Yi Han set up a pergola and looked into the distance. Where was Liu Yuyang in the huge wilderness? “Zhou Xiruo is right! He’s really a cunning fellow!”
Gao Lixuan cursed angrily, but there was nothing he could do.
The chaotic battle between the three schools just now lasted for a few minutes. At this moment, Liu Yuyang might be anywhere in the secret realm.
Although Gao Lixuan’s [Lord Talent] could change the terrain of the secret realm, it was not powerful enough to affect the entire secret realm.
However, no matter what, 4,050 points had already given Yuheng Academy an absolute advantage. Therefore, Gao Lixuan was not in a hurry to find Liu Yuyang. Instead, he gathered everyone to return to the base to rest.
After passing through the gap in the heavy shield wall, a building filled with fortifications came into view.
On the tall wall, there were eight [Flame Magic Towers] in pairs. On the corners of the walls, there were four [Thunder Magic Towers].
Within ten meters of the wall, nearly a hundred [Arrow Towers] and [Flame Catapults] were scattered. However, the most shocking thing was the ten-meter-tall wall. Its surface was dark and lightless. It was completely made of [essence iron]!
“Did you just build all this?”
Gao Lixuan looked at Zhou Xiruo in shock. The remaining complaints on his face disappeared. The others also looked at Zhou Xiruo in shock, as if they had seen something extremely unbelievable.
Although the area of this base was not too big and was only about 100 units, it would take at least an entire day for ordinary lords to build it!
Zhou Xiruo was a little embarrassed by everyone’s gaze. She stroked the hair beside her ear and whispered, “Practice makes perfect… Time is limited, so I can only build it like this for now. I’ll continue to improve it next.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the base slowly opened. “Xu
Junrou” walked out with a smile. “Everyone! Welcome back!”
Seeing Xu Junrou, Gao Lixuan suddenly revealed a meaningful smile. “It’s all thanks to your counterattack plan that we were able to return victorious.. I can only say that as expected of you… Wang Xiao!”
