“Oh, no.” Xiong Chumo’s face turned extremely sullen. Clearly, Qi Yan’s Wind Blade couldn’t defeat the creatures of other dimensions’ Bone Shields on the other side.

Everyone was at a loss. The invincible powerhouses finally became “ordinary” participants as they were completely helpless.

On the one hand, the audience in front of the TV was worried about them, but on the other, they were somewhat relieved.

That was what normal High School Awakened should be like!

How could you beat the Gold Quality Boss-level creature immediately? You guys aren’t acting like humans at all! 

Han Jiangxue frantically threw out a shot of Chain Lightning.

Crack!

The Bone Shield that had been heavily damaged by the blades instantly blew into pieces under the output of the violent lightning, leaving behind some bone debris all over the ground.

Bones grew continuously out of the bodies of the Ancient Warriors, together with Bone Shields.

That wasn’t all. A shocking scene appeared, too.

In order to protect her younger brother and prevent him from rushing to the frontline, she actually summoned a large Bone Wall.

The crushed bones on the ground surged up and continuously condensed in front of the Ancient Warriors. Bones also grew out of the Ancient Warriors’ bodies before falling onto the ground continuously, becoming the new materials for the Bone Wall.

The Bone Wall made up of white bones pushed forward.

They had to stay firm and plan every move.

After the Bone Wall appeared, the Ancient Warriors roared loudly while their arm muscles bulged from their flesh. The Bone Wall also continuously pushed forward and blocked all the attacks from the Rules Awakened.

The Wind Blades, lightning, ice, and fire had all lost their effects. The Ancient Warriors continued to approach the contestants, making the audience feel extremely nervous.

How dangerous would it be to go forth without Sound of Silence?

It was that dangerous!

Under such circumstances, Jiang Xiao had already thought about it and suggested that they run away.

After all, they did so to reduce the number of casualties, but they also sacrificed speed and vision. Hence, they could all just turn around and run away.

However, Han Jiangxue seemed to have gotten ahead of herself. Or rather, she was too confident.

“Li Weiyi!” Han Jiangxue summoned suddenly.

“Here,” Li Weiyi frantically answered.

“Use Scorch later! Blast all the Ancient Warriors away.” She stepped forward and took the lead. “I can’t use any lightning Star Technique. Liu Yang and Xia Yan, harvest their heads. If their heads are not severed, they will be able to live forever.”

“You.” Han Jiangxue looked at the Shield Warrior from Cainan Province.

“Huh? Ah!” The boy subconsciously stood still. Even though he had already recovered from the shock, he still couldn’t relax. He thought to himself, This commander from Beijiang is too domineering. 

Han Jiangxue said leisurely, “Carry your Flower Shield and rush forth with the two Shield Warriors from Tianji, Jiang Xiaopi, and Cai Yao. Remember that your only mission is to dissolve the Arrow Of Plague.”

“Okay! Okay!” The Shield Warrior from Cainan Province hurriedly nodded. The other Shield Warriors could stop the poisonous arrows, but they couldn’t dissolve them. Hence, the poisonous arrows would definitely emit a poisonous fog.

Even a small detail on the battlefield would be a deciding factor for victory or even death.

Han Jiangxue waved her hand, and Sky Smasher appeared in front of her. She said to the Tianjin Shield Warriors He Fan and Zhang Qinzhou, “Your only mission is to protect Cai Yao and Jiang Xiaopi.”

The two of them looked at each other, feeling rather hesitant. They actually wanted to retreat. Hence, they looked at their own commander, Cai Yao.

However, Han Jiangxue said to Cai Yao and Jiang Xiao, “Your only task is to find the Soul Of The Ancient Warrior and attack it with Sound of Silence. Leave the rest to me.”

In just tens of seconds, Han Jiangxue had formulated a detailed combat strategy. She was clear-headed, and her instructions were concise.

The audience was mesmerized. An outstanding commander had to be not only wise, intelligent, and competent, but also be able to take control of the situation and unite the hearts of the team members.

No one would dare to defy the commander’s orders.

If the commander instructed his team to fight, none of the members would dare to retreat.

Those still a little distraught at first, only had one goal left at this moment. Hence, they put away all of their other thoughts and focused on their respective tasks.

Han Jiangxue was extremely domineering and brilliant. Hence, she took the position of the commander and the commanding rights from Xiong Chumo. Even Cai Yao from the Tianjin team didn’t raise any objections.

The commander was the brain of a team.

If the commander was calm, wise, and could formulate strong battle strategies, it would definitely give the team a rebirth and greatly increase their combat effectiveness!

“Pay attention,” Han Jiangxue said while staring at the Bone Wall rushing towards them. The debris actually disappeared inch by inch in front of her.

Gold Quality Sky Smasher!

People finally saw the shape of Sky Smasher, which was a large and irregular oval shape.

Why?

Because there was a huge oval shape on the Bone Wall.

Li Weiyi tilted his head and listened, after which he suddenly said, “About 10 centimeters to the left, just a little bit more.”

Han Jiangxue raised her eyebrows and closed Sky Smasher, before opening it again at a spot that was more than 10 centimeters towards the left.

Behind the Bone Wall, an Ancient Warrior Tomahawk was yelling maniacally while green veins bulging from its pale face. It was doing all it could to push the wall, only to realize that the Bone Wall had lost all of its weight.

Why? Why can’t I breathe anymore? She wondered.

Han Jiangxue abruptly put away Sky Smasher and retreated before opening it again. During the gap in time, Li Weiyi entered through the hole in the Bone Wall before slamming his foot down on the ground heavily!

Beijiang Star Technique Scorch!

The flames of the explosion spread outwards and warmed up the environment with the overwhelming heatwave. Although it didn’t cause fatal damage to the Ancient Warriors, it did overturn them.

The Bone Wall finally stopped and was blown up into pieces by the flames.

After the flame explosion sounded, Han Jiangxue hurriedly closed Sky Smasher while flames burned on Xia Yan’s body. He then plunged straight into the hole in the Bone Wall.

Liu Yang’s eyes glistened, and he hesitated for a second before his body sprung out.

Han Jiangxue then caught up, and a Flame Pillar emerged from her hand. In the chaotic corridor, the painful cries of the Ancient Warriors could be heard clearly.

“Friend, go! Go!” Jiang Xiao urged the Shield Warrior of Cainan Province. He had really forgotten the latter’s name.

The opportunity was fleeting. They had to grasp it. Besides, if they didn’t leave through the hole in the Bone Wall, they might really get attacked by the poisonous arrow.

“Okay, okay!” The Shield Warrior from Cainan Province hurriedly scurried over and raised both arms, after which red roses sprouted from one of them.

The dense layers of roses were fragrant, and the Flower Shield had taken shape. The Shield Warrior from Cainan Province took the lead and scurried forward.

They say that passion and enthusiasm are romance for men. 

Wrong! 

Extremely wrong! 

Jiang Xiao finally knew that there was a higher opportunity.

The Shield Warrior from Cainan Province went against the Ancient Warriors with 999 roses and extreme passion!

If he won, he would marry them!

If he didn’t, he would die and be buried underground. He had already gotten the flowers ready…

The old song that went viral on the Internet more than a decade ago, “The Funeral of Roses,” is probably about this scene, right?

The Shield Warriors Zhang Qinzhou and He Fan standing behind the Shield Warrior from Cainan Province, together with Jiang Xiao, who executed orders decisively, and Cai Yao, who remained silent.

She still obeyed the arrangement, after all.

However, the situation did not go as smoothly as she had imagined. As the team rushed forward, broken bones and debris gathered together abruptly, and several long bones surged from the ground!

—Silver Quality Star Technique, Bone Prison!

Although it was called Bone Prison, the bones could also be used to stab the targets in the process of its formation.

“He Fan!” Cai Yao exclaimed, and the entire team tilted towards the right as a Bone Prison emerged from the ground, trapping He Fan inside.

He Fan was slammed into the Bone Prison.

Didn’t this Bone Prison condense too quickly?

“The Ancient Warrior is hiding in the right corner of the wall in front!” Zhang Qinzhou had always been able to receive more information, and she reckoned that Li Weiyi had the same Star Technique.

Without hesitation, Jiang Xiao looked at the corner of the corridor about ten meters away, after which he threw out another shot of Sound of Silence.

He also absorbed a Gold Quality Fallen Shadow Witch Star Bead.

At this juncture, his life was at stake. It definitely wasn’t the time to save on Star Beads.

He had to employ limited resources where they were needed most.

Enmity, Gold Quality Level 1 -> Level 2

Counter-current Light, Gold Quality Level 1 -> Level 2

Sound of Silence, Gold Quality Level 3 (9/100) -> Level 4 (9/100)

Feeling his Star Power surge, Jiang Xiao put his right hand behind his back and held onto it tightly.

After 5000 years, it’s finally my turn to go on the arena!
