Empty Street
Crossroad
Four teams stood at different roads, staring at each other from a distance.
"Everyone, there are only 17 of us from 4 teams left now."
Zhuge Yu looked ahead and said calmly:
"Just right, there are four A-level examiners too. Letâs eliminate them first before we compete as the final ten. What do you all think?"
"I agree."
Wu Ziyan, ranked third among the five-star geniuses, spoke up.
"I agree!"
"I agree too!"
The remaining team leaders also expressed agreement.
The rule of the competition is that when only the last ten contestants remain, they directly enter the next stage of the arena match. At that time, neither examiners nor participants are allowed to fight anyone else.
If we cannot eliminate the A-level examiners before the arena battle, the high-level artifacts they guard will be unreachable for everyone, which no one wants to see.
"Then letâs each pick one."
Zhuge Yu said, "God once wounded Zhong Liying, so our squad chooses the God examiner."
"We choose the Demon examiner."
Wu Ziyan said second.
Ranked fifth among the five-star geniuses, Shangguan Lei followed: "We choose the Demon examiner."
"Then letâs choose the Ghost examiner."
Ranked sixth among the five-star geniuses, Lei Yao said.
The stronger teams choose opponents first, this is the unspoken rule everyone understands.
However, for each team, it doesnât really matter which examiner they choose.
The examinersâ strengths donât differ much, thereâs no easy target to pick.
As for what artifact they are guarding, no one knows, but their values should be similar, so no one gains an advantage.
"Alright, but before we make any moves, I must remind everyone of one thing."
Zhuge Yu scanned the surroundings, seemingly looking for someone, "Make sure to guard your spoils well, donât let someone steal them."
With this remark, everyone knew who Zhuge Yu was hinting at.
Black Crow
This notorious figure, whose very name makes people grit their teeth.
Among the 17 people, quite a few fell victim to Black Crow, having their hard-earned spoils snatched away, becoming a joke to billions, even hundreds of billions of viewers.
"Donât worry, if he dares to show up, Iâll make sure he never leaves!"
Wu Ziyan gritted her teeth angrily, implying she had suffered at Black Crowâs hands too.
"Alright, letâs take action then, after eliminating our opponents, weâll have our final battle here."
"Alright!"
"Alright!"
The four teams parted ways to find their respective opponents.
Meanwhile, the livestreamâs popularity hit its peak.
"The best part is finally here, the genius teams against God, Demon, Demon, and Ghost!"
"Got my popcorn ready, hoping the A-level examiners make it exciting for everyone."
"A-level examiners are all Tier Six experts, can the geniuses handle them?"
"Are you kidding? Faced with four or five Tier Five geniuses with golden and silver bloodlines, a Tier Six expert canât hold out."
"Anything else is fine, but Zhuge Yuâs warning about Black Crow really amused me. Who wouldâve thought a C-level examiner could be more feared by geniuses than an A-level examiner."
"In this event, Black Crow is the MVP!"
......
"Have they begun acting?"
Qin Tian floated high above, stealthily, with all four groupsâ movements under his control.
Now, itâs finally the stage for the geniuses to confront the A-level examiners.
But eliminating A-level examiners isnât so easy.
First of all, accurately finding someone in a medium-sized city is a real test of skill. Either you possess extremely strong perception abilities like him, or you can calculate someoneâs trajectory like Zhuge Yu.
The examiners are not fixed NPCs who stay in one place, they also engage in guerrilla warfare with the geniuses.
The rule for examiners is, the longer they survive, the richer the post-match rewards. This applies to A-level examiners too.
If they can eliminate a contestant and acquire their guardian artifact, great. If not, then guerrilla warfare or simply hiding is a good strategy.
Therefore, Qin Tian judged that aside from Zhuge Yuâs squad, the remaining three squads might not have smooth operations.
Especially the squad that chose the "Ghost" examiner.
Even he hadnât been able to find the "Ghost" examiner these days, let alone these guys.
......
Nameless Street
"Eight Trigrams Array, arise!"
The ground suddenly lit up with mysterious runes, and the "God" encased in gilded armor suddenly realized he was trapped in the center of an array.
Wuhou Eight Trigrams Array, Zhuge Yuâs ultimate skill, Sealing Heaven and Earth, entrapping the enemy without form!
"Godâs" eyes turned cold, blazing white Spiritual Energy surged in his palm.
"Celestial Sword, slash!"
Swishââ!
Fu Ningâs silhouette manifested from the sky, where his sword pointed, a hundred-meter Sword Qi poured down like a galaxy, unmatched in ferocity, slicing even the space into fine cracks!
"God" snorted coldly, meeting the attack head-on with his right fist, the blazing white Fist Seal rising against the skies to collide with the Sword Qi!
Boom!!!
Energy storm exploded, Sword Qi shattered into countless light feathers falling down, each like a cannonball hitting the ground, the street collapsed instantly, dust soaring up the sky!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Just as "Godâs" previous strength was exhausted and new power hadnât arisen, three crimson arrows shot through the air, aiming for his back! Zhong Liyingâs arrows, fast, accurate, vicious, timed perfectly to the finest detail!
"God" erupted Spiritual Energy around himself, forming a shield to take the arrows, howeverâ
"Roar!"
A dragonâs roar exploded by his ears, Yue Shenghe charged like a mountain, dragon patterns glowing on his right arm, Power of Rock gathered at his fist, heavily punching towards "Godâs" chest!
