Chapter 436 - 322: Powerful Damage Immunity, Frenzy Magic Cycle!

"It’s useless. Let’s see what else you can do," Jiang Yaoyue said, her voice laced with confidence. She then turned to the people behind her. "What are you all waiting for? Get ready to come in."

Seeing this, the students outside were overjoyed. They began scrambling to squeeze into the crevice.

"It looks like Jiang Yaoyue’s Judgment Light Shield can actually withstand Fang Zhou’s attacks!" one of the spectating students exclaimed excitedly. "Yeah! This gives us a chance!"

"Hurry, get in there! Don’t let the opportunity slip away!"

Several students had already squeezed into the passage. Jiang Yaoyue had just stepped out of the Spiky Trap’s effective range and was about to speak when she suddenly felt a deathly chill. An instant later, Skeleton Shackles erupted and coiled around her, freezing her in place.

What’s happening?

Jiang Yaoyue was shocked. She tried to struggle, but the icy shackles bound her limbs tightly, rendering her immobile. She could feel the Energy Fluctuations in the surrounding air, as if an invisible force held her fast.

Meanwhile, three or four students had gathered in the passage and were just about to cross the Spiky Trap. Suddenly, a Death Ripple drifted from Fang Zhou’s hand, floating leisurely into the narrow corridor.

BOOM!

Accompanied by a massive explosion, none of the students in the passage could dodge the attack. Every one of them sustained massive damage. Blood splattered across the stone walls, and the air filled with the smell of scorched flesh.

But it wasn’t over. Fang Zhou shot another Skeleton Flying Spear at them. Although it only killed the Combat Professional in the front, the ensuing explosion inflicted secondary damage on the students nearby.

Fang Zhou’s Skeleton Flying Spear had been subjected to Extreme Enhancement. Even the aftershocks from its explosion were unbearable for the ordinary participants. Several students were instantly left in critical condition, and from the rear, Healing Professionals scrambled to treat them.

But Fang Zhou’s barrage of spells from his Magic Array had only just begun. Under the students’ despairing gazes, he took out the Ripple Ring. Using this powerful Marvel that he had personally crafted and enhanced, he unleashed another Death Ripple at no cost.

In the crowded passage, all three or four students fell in an instant.

The other students crammed into the crevice opening took less damage, but they were terrified and hurriedly retreated. Bound by the Skeleton Shackles, Jiang Yaoyue could only watch helplessly as a wave of powerlessness washed over her.

The students outside turned pale with fright. No one had expected the situation to turn out this way! With a nonstop barrage of spells, Fang Zhou had efficiently wiped out the handful of students who had made it inside. They had died in such a pathetic and anticlimactic way.

Just then, Fang Zhou saw that Jiang Yaoyue was about to break free from the Skeleton Shackles. A cold glint flashed in his eyes.

"Charging Scroll!"

A flash of black light flared, and the Skeleton Flying Spear, empowered by the Charging Scroll, shot forward.

BOOM!

The enhanced spear struck the bound Jiang Yaoyue, sending her flying into the edge of the crevice. An Assassin who had been trying to sneak in was knocked out of stealth by the impact. He scrambled to his feet and scurried out of the crevice. A squishy character like him could never withstand Fang Zhou’s attacks.

However, Jiang Yaoyue was worthy of her title as the No. 1 Seed Student of Dragon City’s military academy. In the split second before Fang Zhou’s empowered strike hit, she reacted, activating several Marvels. These items clearly possessed extremely powerful defensive effects. Combined, their power was enough to block Fang Zhou’s charged attack.

"How many seconds left on your Judgment Light Shield?" Fang Zhou asked lazily.

"Long enough to hold you off," Jiang Yaoyue retorted, her competitive spirit ignited. She got to her feet and charged at Fang Zhou again.

"Still coming? You’re dead for sure," Fang Zhou said, raising his Crystal Ball to fire another Skeleton Flying Spear.

Jiang Yaoyue was blasted back several steps. Thanks to the Judgment Light Shield, she still hadn’t taken much damage, but the shield offered no immunity to control effects.

Next came Fang Zhou’s Skeleton Shackles. Although they dealt no damage, each cast bound Jiang Yaoyue in a humiliating posture for all the spectators to see.

Jiang Yaoyue gritted her teeth, trying to break free of his control. But every one of Fang Zhou’s Skeleton Flying Spears struck her with unerring accuracy, preventing her from taking even a single step closer. Each impact forced her back, and Fang Zhou simply repeated the same attack over and over.

Jiang Yaoyue’s expression was grim. Her Judgment Light Shield had been active for a long time, yet she had been forced all the way back to the Spiky Trap. It was a humiliating loss of face.

The competing students outside the crevice were deeply conflicted. They wanted to seize the opportunity and rush in, but the sight of the corpses strewn about the passage made them falter.

Death Ripple, Skeleton Flying Spear, Skeleton Shackles, and on top of all that, the Skeleton Archers’ Arrow Rain... In such a confined area, these skills were extraordinarily effective, leaving almost no room to dodge within the narrow passage. Furthermore, Fang Zhou’s damage was terrifying. The students who had just rushed in were all high-health, high-Defense Professions, yet they were still wiped out. As for the squishier Professions, the Skeleton Archers’ Arrow Rain and a single Death Ripple would be more than enough to finish them off.

"How dare you be so arrogant? I’ll put you in your place soon enough!" Jiang Yaoyue was growing anxious. She was now in an untenable position.

Initially, seeing his strength and skill, she had been impressed. But it was only admiration; his methods seemed flashy but insubstantial, as if he were just grandstanding. Now, truly facing him, she finally understood the meaning of helplessness. The feeling of being completely unable to even touch her opponent was driving her mad.

"Is that so? Your shield has a few seconds left. I’ll wait. Come and put me in my place," Fang Zhou said with a laugh, casting his spells slowly.

"You’re too arrogant!" Jiang Yaoyue’s face flushed with anger. In her eyes, Fang Zhou was being utterly disdainful. He wasn’t even going all out against her. He clearly didn’t take her seriously at all.

She only needed to take one more step to get within range for her Holy Strike.

However, Fang Zhou wasn’t one to gamble with his own life. Jiang Yaoyue’s body froze as another set of Skeleton Shackles coiled around her feet.

"I gave you a chance. Too bad you couldn’t take it," Fang Zhou’s voice dripped with mockery as another Skeleton Flying Spear shot out.

With her feet bound, Jiang Yaoyue was instantly knocked to the ground. Before she could even get back up, a Death Ripple and a volley of arrows from the Skeleton Archers descended on her.

Jiang Yaoyue managed to struggle back to her feet. Relying on her own stamina and the potent effect of the Judgment Light Shield, she weathered the barrage of attacks, but her movements remained incredibly slow.
