267: One by one

Ye Jiuling left the ice lake and returned to Jianyan.

He Xuanjia tried to comfort her: "Minister..."

Ye Jiuling smiled and said: "Losing is losing. I'm not as skilled as my opponent, especially since they defeated me with sword techniques. I'm completely convinced by my loss."

She said to the club members with some apology: "I can't represent the Blade and Sword Club on the National War arena this time, I'm sorry."

Everyone was flustered, speaking in a jumble:

"That's not the case at all."

"Minister, you've already done enough."

"Yeah."

"It's just that the opponent is too strong."

"Anyway, in our hearts, the Minister will always be the best!"

...

Looking at the club members in front of her, Ye Jiuling's face showed a gentle smile.

"Thank you."

She turned her head to look at the constantly roaring ice lake.

Three giant dragons soared in the sky, spewing dragon breath. Magic arrays appeared in the sky one after another, unleashing a variety of high-level magic downwards. Chang Baimo, dressed as a ranger with a large bow, constantly moved along the edge of the battlefield, his figure sometimes visible, sometimes hidden, sometimes splitting into Clones, finding the best angle, and then shooting arrows containing various powers at Jiang Yuan.

"The archer skill Thousand Mile Eye, combined with my talent... Mind's Eye, is enough for me to see the momentary flaw revealed in his blood flow!"

Chang Baimo's eyes overflowed with pure white light, full of confidence.

"Boom!!"

Dragon breath and a lava meteor magic struck, the explosion roared, and a black light rushed out from it.

Chang Baimo's eyes flashed.

"He's coming!!"

He instantly drew his bow and nocked an arrow, activated all enhancement skills, and activated the attached skill of the golden-grade great bow - Armor Penetration.

"Spiral Arrow. Dawnbreak!"

Whoosh—

As Chang Baimo released his fingers, the air vibrated,

A beam of fiery red spiral arrow, like a meteor cutting through the sky, went straight towards the back of the black-clothed youth who had leaped into the air.

"Clang!"

This strike directly hit Jiang Yuan's back of the neck. The collision between the extremely sharp spiral arrow and his fair skin produced an incredibly crisp sound. The spiral arrow spun rapidly, but it was difficult to advance even an inch, instead rubbing out countless sparks.

Chang Baimo, who had spent half a day waiting for the best opportunity, was completely stunned,

"...Huh?!"

You must know that he is now a sixth-order Martial Artist, his talent is S-Class [Mind's Eye], and he also seized the only flaw. Logically speaking, this arrow should have dealt a critical hit effect of [Heart Strike]. Even a sixth-order Lord-level bone beast could be pierced by one arrow, but against him...

He couldn't even break through his defense?!

What kind of monstrous physical physique is this?

His defense is too strong?!

"You're distracted."

Jiang Yuan's voice sounded.

Chang Baimo reacted instantly. The black-clothed youth's figure was no longer in his sight, causing his hair to stand on end. Without thinking, he immediately drew the short blade from his waist and slashed behind him.

The strike missed.

The youth's voice still sounded behind him.

"Do you think I didn't see your attack? I just deliberately exposed a flaw for you. The most important characteristic of an archer is to remain calm at all times. But you failed to do that."

"So you're eliminated."

Jiang Yuan, wearing the Blood Sacrifice Gloves on his left hand, grabbed Chang Baimo's neck, suppressed him with Psychokinesis, and casually threw him out of the ice lake.

Tenth in the entire school, Bow King Chang Baimo - eliminated.

"He's truly a monster."

Gao Tian sighed and shouted to Stone Crusher.

"Hey, are you okay?"

At this moment, Stone Crusher, who was trapped in the ice mountain, had his right arm hanging down, dripping blood. This was the first time Gao Tian had seen him in such a miserable state.

Stone Crusher raised his head with difficulty, "Nonsense, nonsense. Who, who do you think I am? Give me a few seconds to rest and I'll recover."

Although he said that, at this moment, he could barely feel the existence of the right half of his body.

Just taking one punch made him feel like he was dying.

It was too terrifying.

That guy's attack completely exceeded the limit he could adapt to now.

You must know that he is a Hegemon Body, known for his strong physique and tough defense!

Gao Tian sighed: "It's a pity I'm not a healing-type Martial Artist. At most, I can only help you increase your recovery speed a bit."

"Then why don't you... hurry up."

"Vitality of the Stars."

Saying that, he released his skill to assist Stone Crusher in recovering quickly.

...

On the other side.

"Swish!"

A sword full of extreme cold energy struck down. Everything in its path was frozen.

Jiang Yuan dodged sideways.

The sword energy landed on the ice lake, splitting a hundred-meter crack, while sharp ice thorns rose from the ground along a straight line like bamboo shoots after rain.

Lin Qingyan's slender body leaped into the air, her black hair turning into an extreme ice blue, her skin appearing transparent, and her eyes a dreamy, indifferent light blue.

"Innate Martial Skill. Heaven and Earth Frost White."

She swung her ice sword, and white light shone.

Jiang Yuan's body was frozen for a Moment, but only for a Moment.

"Elemental control has little effect on me," Jiang Yuan said with a smile, clenching his left arm and punching casually.

The several layers of ice shields in front of Lin Qingyan were directly punched through, and her figure flew backward dozens of meters.

"She actually reached such a high Realm in swordsmanship? And she can perfectly integrate her innate talent and Martial Skills?" Ye Jiuling was stunned by Lin Qingyan's performance. "Isn't the Aptitude of this year's freshmen a bit too Heaven-Defying?"

In addition to Lin Qingyan's performance, which shocked Ye Jiuling.

Yan Runan also immediately erupted with astonishing combat power that exceeded Ye Jiuling's imagination.

Holding a short blade, she rushed out the Moment Lin Qingyan was forced back, arriving behind Jiang Yuan at an extremely fast speed.

"Instantaneous. Acceleration."

As her right eye shone with divine light, a new pupil technique skill was displayed. The time flowing around her instantly became slow, which manifested externally as extreme attack speed!

"Swish swish swish swish swish swish..."

Yan Runan swung the short blade in her hand thousands of times. The space behind Jiang Yuan seemed to collapse in an instant, replaced by countless sword lights.

But the next second.

More sword lights bloomed in front of Yan Runan's eyes, like flowers opening.

"Clang clang clang clang clang clang..."

Every strike she unleashed was precisely blocked, and finally all converged into one.

The black-clothed youth held the purple-black Demon Blade, smiling as he sliced through her blood energy shield, stopping between her eyes.

Yan Runan took a deep breath and said with a wry smile: "You can even block that?!"

Jiang Yuan smiled: "If you could pause time for a second, I wouldn't be able to block it."

"Alas, compared to time acceleration and reversal, pausing is the most difficult. I have little chance of doing it before becoming a Quasi-King," Yan Runan sighed. "What is this move called?"

"Moment. Flower Bloom."

Yan Runan nodded, "I'll remember that. I'll be more careful later."

After saying this.

A drop of blood tear flowed from her right eye, and the space-time in front of her instantly froze, shattering like glass.

Time flowed back to the Moment she finished her strike.

Without any hesitation.

Yan Runan directly withdrew and instantly flashed away, fleeing the area.

After countering all of her attacks, Jiang Yuan, with his eyes that could see through everything, noticed some fluctuations in the surrounding space-time and smiled slightly,

"Did she come back?"

Lin Qingyan's heart also moved, and she looked at Yan Runan.

The two girls, who both possessed talents that could affect time, exchanged glances. Yan Runan didn't understand why, but she still smiled kindly and said: "This fellow countryman of yours is really not easy to deal with."

Lin Qingyan found it hard not to agree.

It was more than just not easy to deal with.

He was simply flawless.

"Whoosh!"

A sonic boom mixed with the sound of air breaking came flying.

Jiang Yuan looked up and smiled:

"Coming at me with this?"

More than a dozen missiles, with slender tongues of fire trailing from their tails, descended from the sky.

"Hahahaha, it's finally assembled! Let me show you the power of technology!!"

The technology fanatic Zhang Kai laughed wildly. His whole body was surrounded by parts, which assembled into a Mithril mecha under the action of powerful electromagnetic force. It was covered with a layer of elemental magnetic shield, with incredibly powerful armor-piercing thunder bombs mounted on its arms, and tracking missiles launched from its back, becoming the entity with the greatest firepower output on the field at this Moment.

"Da da da da da da da da..."

"Boom!"

Under the wide-eyed gaze of thousands of surrounding teachers and students.

The area where Jiang Yuan was located was submerged by the massive amount of firepower unleashed.

Flames mixed with constant explosions.

Even the giant dragons in the sky found it difficult to approach.
