Chapter 278: The Battle Is Round the Corner

“You old fogies are terrible. My God Pi is obviously going to be ranked high, and yet, you guys made him out to be so terrible. Hahaha, the newbies are being scared away by you. ”

“According to the data updated on the official website just now, God Pi has already obtained the 19th place in the cohort… I’m shocked to death. Damn it!”

“It’s really scary. Although people have spoken highly of the Medical Awakened of Beijiang, no one has ever made it to the top twenty in the National League.”

“With more than 200 elite supportive members across the nation, we actually managed to come in 19th place. It’s just like a dream!”

“The supportive members got ranked low, partly because the overall level of the team is not up to standard, and the abilities and competencies of the Beijiang Medical Awakened are not exhibited. On the other hand… the controllers were too weak.”

“Yes, it makes sense. The Beijiang Medical Awakened are passable, but the control is weak. Most of them have control Star Techniques from Dameng Province and are affected by the environment.”

“God Pi has the Sound of Silence! It’s a Gold Quality Star Technique! Besides, it’s also an incredible Sound of Silence that has amazing functions. Didn’t you see what role he played in those two battles just now? How did he come in 19th place? The officials are really looking down on us, huh? I doubt they can find anyone with Sound of Silence in this cohort, eh?”

“You’re a bunch of jerks. Just now, you lied to us… and said that our Xiaopi is ranked below the 200th place and is in the 400ths. Yet, you’re now saying that he’s in the 19th place. I’m going to cry.”

“Shut up! Shut up! I’m going to punch you! I’ll hit you to death! I’ll beat you up until you die!”

…

While watching the competition, Su Rou chatted with the viewers leaving pop-up comments on her live broadcast. Whenever someone complimented the team from her class, she would feel delighted and thrilled. She was radiant and was looking forward to enjoying the annual feast for the eyes.

Su Rou was so delighted that she couldn’t stop grinning. On the other hand, the two teams settled down.

Why?

Because the guardians arrived.

There were four teams of guardians standing silent along the way. None of them made a single sound as they picked up the students on the ground, one by one. Then, they left.

Liu Yang scurried forward and questioned, “You must have lost your combat abilities and withdrew from the competition, huh?”

In the end, the guardians ignored him.

Liu Yang turned around and extended his arms helplessly.

At the side, the silent He Fan finally spoke. “Do we go in a group of eight with one commander or two groups of four with two commanders?”

The question was a bit sensitive. When they were preparing to defend against the enemy, Han Jiangxue directly deprived Cai Yao of her commanding rights. Now that they had the time, they could solve the problem.

Cai Yao walked over and said, “Regardless of my position or my professional priority, I should be the commander.”

“Huh?” Han Jiangxue snorted and turned around to look down at her.

Cai Yao was barely 1.7 meters tall and was much shorter than Han Jiangxue. However, she had a domineering aura. She raised her head slightly to look at Han Jiangxue quietly.

Indeed, supportive members were much more suitable for being the commander because they had a natural advantage.

Jiang Xiao held Han Jiangxue’s arm and gently dragged her to his side. He then said to everyone, “We’d better go in two teams. It’d be best for us to help each other and survive together.”

“Sure.” Cai Yao nodded and thought to herself that it’d better not be the case where an internal fight began before they even formed the alliance…

“Let’s go in and take a look.” Jiang Xiao patted Han Jiangxue on the back a few times for comfort.

However, he was reading too much into things because Han Jiangxue was an extremely calm person and was only putting on a brave front in front of others as she should.

In the past few years, she had been showing the world the toughest side of herself ever since her parents left. She had never been weak or vulnerable before.

Lately, there had been some changes in her behavior. Ever since Jiang Xiao became 'sensible” and saw a huge increase in his competency, Han Jiangxue’s mentality changed a lot. For example, when they were in the backyard of Xia Yan’s house, and in the cave deep in the snowfield, she occasionally rested her head on his shoulder and enjoyed the rare feeling of being taken care of.

The two teams walked along the wall as if they had entered another mausoleum. The mausoleum was indeed massive, and there were all sorts of rooms inside.

“Over there.”

“Nothing is going on there,” Zhang Qinzhou said at the same time as Li Weiyi.

The two teams looked at each other and moved quickly and quietly towards the sounds.

Beyond the broken wall behind them was a team that encountered issues in choosing a direction. Just when they were clueless about where to go, they saw a team of guardians walking out of the “alley” with four contestants.

Everyone in the team looked at each other. They really wanted to leave with the guardians, for that would at least be safer.

After the soldiers left, they could only hear the sounds of the members of the team chatting with each other. “The four of them are really unlucky. I wonder if they passed out or dropped dead.”

A girl suddenly exclaimed, “Let’s enter this alley!”

“Xiaoqi? Are you out of your mind? Didn’t you see that just now? Those contestants were carried out by the guardians. It’s unknown if they’re dead or alive!”

Xiaoqi said, “Yeah. But doesn’t that mean that the guardians have entered to rescue them? Think about it. The guardians didn’t look too disheveled and actually looked rather composed and relaxed. That group of participants didn’t have any broken limbs. Obviously, this group of soldiers rescued them in time and also killed the Ancient Warriors. They also rescued the participants from the enemies.”

The team members were rather stunned, and they thought, This train of thought…

Xiaoqi continued, “Hiding here is not a solution. Even if we finally manage to persist for 72 hours, we still won’t get any points. This is a good opportunity for us.”

“What’s the matter?”

“What opportunity?”

With a look of disdain, Xiaoqi rolled her eyes at her teammate and said, “The Ancient Warriors in there must have been taught a lesson by the guardians just now! They must be really weak and severely injured now. We must seize the opportunity!

“Haven’t you seen it? The guardians successfully rescued those students just now. Don’t you know what the Ancient Warriors are like? They wish they could eat human flesh and drink our blood. They won’t let the guardians simply take their spoils away, so the guardians must have had a huge battle with the Ancient Warriors!

Haven’t you seen how calm and relaxed the guardians were just now? The soldiers have obviously taught them a huge lesson! You’re a bunch… a bunch of fools. Was I the only person who saw it?”

The teammates looked at each other and thought about it for a while, after which they suddenly felt that Xiaoqi’s analysis did make some sense…

At this moment, everyone heard the sounds of birds chirping from behind.

“Here?” a girl asked coldly.

“Yes, it can’t be wrong,” said another girl with a beautiful and melodious voice. However, the conversation between the two girls was not in Mandarin. No one could understand them.

“It’s just a small mistake, but they took so long to make up for it. Mo, we must concentrate and live up to Teacher’s expectations,” Shen Xing said coldly but with a sullen expression. However, he was probably filled with worries and hence dared not flare-up.

Xiong Chumo had a look of grievance on her face, and she looked like she was about to cry, making her male teammates feel sad for her.

She expressed assent softly and chased the bird hovering in mid-air while quickly entering the alley.

Shen Xing took a cautious look at the team of four standing beside them in the alley. The teams passed by each other without any communication.

Xiaoqi’s teammate smacked his head in frustration and said, “They beat us to it. Hurry, let’s go.”

“No.” Xiaoqi rolled her eyes and said, “Isn’t it better to have a team find the way for us?”

Her teammates were suddenly enlightened and nodded silently.

There are a thousand routes to take, but safety comes first.

Xiaoqi waited patiently for a while and then said, “Come on, let’s follow.”

“Let’s go!”

The two teams belonging to Jiang Xiao and Liu Yang slowly found their way to the borders of the battlefield of the mausoleum while following the rumbling sounds and the pulsating fire.

The so-called battlefield was a huge house in front of everyone. The walls of the house were not solid, but there were hollow carvings on the wall, which were rather beautiful.

The closer they got to the battlefield, the more frightened everyone felt. The air seemed to be filled with angst Star Power, and the temperatures were rising. The room in front of everyone was red as if there were already huge flames inside.

Jiang Xiao quietly touched it and placed one hand against the pillar while looking into the house through the hollow carved stone wall, only to get a great shock.

There were flame dragons all over the sky and three-headed fire snakes everywhere. The room was filled with volcanoes erupting and magma spurting outwards.

An army of Ancient Warriors and a group of high school students were having an intense battle…
