  Through gritted teeth in anger, his voice hoarsely sounded, “Gao Ye, then what are you waiting for!? Let’s mobilize ASAP! And hunt down Li Yao!”

  “WAIT!”

  Gao Ye’s entire face was entwined in a complicated knot. He looked as if he was considering every angle. He muttered, “Strange. I’ve factored in every detail in my calculations. I also succeeded in fending off his attack. Why do I still feel restless? It’s like I missed something… WHAT’S THAT!?”

  Gao Ye’s expression changed and he pointed to a military pack amidst the center of everyone, letting out a shriek.

  This military pack’s surface was smeared all over with mud, and even a few weeds and moss. It had been casually tossed in the core area of the command center.

  It was like a rock at first glance. None had noticed when this pack had appeared.

  “How is there a pack? Whose is it?”

  All the Blue Team competitors were at a loss. They looked at each other with dismay. It seemed that none of them had ever carried a pack such as this.

  In the eyes of Gao Ye, this commonly found pack transformed into a large demon egg, as if an incomparable fearsome existence was about to break through the cocoon and burst forth. Gao Ye’s face warped and he shrieked, “Do you all still remember when dealing with Li Yao? He would hold an explosive device composed of over twenty crystal cells connected in series. He would say its might is tremendous, enough to flatten an entire supply point, and he would threaten us with mutual destruction.”

  When these words were spoken, everyone’s faces underwent enormous changes. They all remembered!

  “We’re f*cked!”

  Gao Ye’s, Helian Lie’s, and several dozen Blue Team competitor’s pupils shrank simultaneously to their minimum!

  500 meters away in the forest.

  Li Yao had his back leaning against a large tree. He stood unmovingly and extended 10 fingers. One by one, they bent down: “9… 8… 7… 6… ”

  “Who is it!?”

  Two Blue Team competitors had suddenly emerged from the forest. They never thought a Red Team competitor would actually appear in a location so close to their command center. They could not help but be shocked.

  Li Yao glanced an eye at them faintly and didn’t reply. He continued being engrossed in his countdown: “5… 4…”

  “There’s something weird with this fellow. I think he’s that Li Yao that the communication channel was talking about just now. Let’s quickly drop our artifacts, use ordinary weapons instead, and notify the command center!”

  The two Blue Team competitors were on high alert as they maintained a distance of 10 meters between themselves and Li Yao. They gave not a hair of opportunity to Li Yao.

  Li Yao continued as before doing what he was doing. He counted down leisurely: “3… 2… 1!”

  When the number “1” was spoken from his mouth, a loud earth-shaking rumbling boom exploded 560 meters behind him in the forest!

  The entire forest shook and swayed, and a large gigantic white mushroom cloud gradually rose. A surging heatwave rolled and spread at high speeds, soon reaching out over 500 meters.

  The two Blue Team competitors’ pupils were captured by this mushroom cloud. The hair on their heads was roasted and scorched by the heatwave. Broken branches and crushed rock were mixed in the shockwave, cleaving onto their craniums and smashing onto their bodies!

  In a flash, the two were stunned and covered in dirt and grime, becoming like two clay statues.

  Static came from the communication channel. Not a single person was still capable of answering their shouts.

  “What... What the hell did you do?” The two Blue Team competitors could not hold back from trembling.

  “I’m terribly sorry. From now on, the Blue Team’s Command Center no longer exists.”

  Li Yao slowly took out his black daggers and walked over to the two Blue Team competitors with a smile.

  Chapter 63: Slaughtering Everything In Their Paths! |

  Over a hundred competitors were still noisy and in disorder within the Red Team’s communication channel. Each of them vented at, insulted, and complained at each other; it was extremely chaotic just like the clamoring noise of a market.

  The sound of the giant explosion coming from the center of Devil Flood Dragon Island intimidated them all simultaneously into silence. No one spoke a word for a long time.

  Only after a long time had passed did a lazy-sounding voice sound out.

  “I’ve already ‘beheaded’ the Blue Team’s commander. The entire command center has been bombarded to the skies! Right now, they’re like a flock of dragons without a leader. It’s a great opportunity!”

  “What y’all must do next is very simple. You don’t need to assemble, don’t need to form squads, don’t need to cooperate. All you need to do is tear your throat screaming the words ‘Gao Ye’s dead! The Red Team shall prevail!’ Scream as if you’re a pig about to be slaughtered. Then, wave your giant swords crazily and slaughter all in your path. And that will be fine. Understand, everyone?”

  “Who are you? Why should we believe your words!?” it was silent for a moment until someone who was unconvinced had spoken.

  “It’s up to you if you want to believe me. Anyways, I’m going to go mow some grass. Everyone, do as you please~ It’s best if you just stay where you’re at and not move. Let me take all the points alone. Hahahaha. Gao Ye’s dead! The Red Team shall prevail! Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die!”

  A pig-slaughtering howl came from the communication channel. From the incomparably arrogant laughter, everyone could imagine this certain fellow heaving a Chainsword to go around chopping down people in a mad slaughter, harvesting all the “heads” he wishes.

  “Look, the opposing Blue Team is acting a bit strangely. They haven’t made a movement in a while. It’s like they’ve gone retarded!”

  Two Red Team competitors whispered in each others’ ear at the corner of Devil Flood Dragon Island.

  “Damn it! It'll be a dead end if we keep being suppressed like this as the battle goes on!! F*ck it! Gao Ye’s Dead! The Red Team shall prevail!”

  Two Red Team competitors hardened their hearts. They heaved their giant swords and charged over like hungry wolves throwing themselves at lambs. They blazed and collided with the Blue Team’s combat unit!

  “Gao Ye’s Dead! The Red Team shall prevail!”

  “Gao Ye’s Dead! The Red Team shall prevail!”

  “Gao Ye’s Dead! The Red Team shall prevail!”

  Berserk battle howls rang simultaneously from far and near on Devil Flood Dragon Island.

  The Blue Team competitors just found out the news of the instant annihilation of their entire command center by the enemy through their communication channel. They were shocked into panic from this astonishing news and were caught off guard by the crazed assault of the devils and fiends that are the Red Team competitors. Their ears were filled with the Red Team’s hellish demonic howls. They were completely unable to bring forth the least bit of intention to fight!

  At first, the scales of victory were completely slanted towards the Blue Team. No one ever thought that Li Yao would take this scale and kick it to crap. The remaining Blue Team and Red Team competitors all sank into the ugliest, the most entangled, the most pestering of chaotic melees.

  And relying on their high morale and excitement from this miraculous reversal, the Red Team actually began to hold the upper hand!

  On the Distant Expanse, both inside and outside of the monitoring center was absolute silence. Everyone was dumbstruck. They were all completely shocked from the brilliant performance that Li Yao had demonstrated just an hour ago.

  In the beginning, he had killed four scout groups of the Blue Team in succession. Then, he purposely showed himself in front of the new Blue Team scout group. Then, he tailed Helian Lie and company, infiltrating the Blue Team’s command center in utmost secrecy. And he even laid in wait in the command center in the branches above for an entire
half an hour. Lastly, he continued with two consecutive attacks to distract all the Blue Team members’ attention. Upon success, he set up the explosive pack inside the Blue Team’s command center. After he safely evacuated the area, he blew the Blue Team’s entire command center up in the sky.

  This was absolutely a brilliant, outstanding, smooth, textbook-like, and classic “Beheading Operation”!’

  And from initial planning to actual execution, it was all actually done solely by Li Yao!

  “Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh!”

  Several dozen names suddenly faded from the ranking board, and Li Yao’s name was rising like crazy! Moving like a hurricane!

  This was due to the sudden “explosive death” of several dozen Blue Team commanders and powerful members. An astronomical number of points had rushed to Li Yao. He directly blitzkrieged his way through to the number one ranking like a hot knife through butter. And his total points was actually over ten times greater than that of second place!

  In the history of the Limit Challenge Competition, this was an unprecedented high score!

  “Amazing. He’s too amazing! Let’s just focus on the efforts he made to increase the explosive power of his bomb. He filled the pack with rocks, metal artifact parts, and sharp Demon Beast bones to increase the power of the bomb by ten times! This is absolutely something an experienced military veteran would do! Our Federation’s First Military College will want talent as great as this! Who dares fight over him with us!?”

  After a short few seconds of reticence, a straightforward howl had broken the silence in the monitoring center. Soon, every scout was discussing lively and bellowing simultaneously.

  “On what grounds? This kind of genius should belong to our Star Nebula University!”

  “Our Empyrean Capital School of Medicine also needs this type of young talent. I’ve already prepared a special enrollment for him. Your move!”

  “Hmph! Special enrollment is nothing special. Our Star Nebula University can offer him an enormous scholarship in addition!”

  Countless cultivators had flushed red faces and ears from vying for Li Yao. The scene was fiery to the extreme.

  Only Xie Tingxian was smiling without a word in the corner, keeping a cool head in this tense situation. He held a victory contract calmly in his hands.

  And sitting not too far away from him was Ding Lingdang firmly biting her lip. She walked to and fro fretfully and worried. She was like a bound female dragon that could erupt in flames at any moment,

  “This kid. Why the hell is he bringing out such an outstanding performance? It’s over It’s over. With this many schools wanting to give him special enrollment, this kid certainly won’t choose our Grand Desolate War Institution! Can it be that I need to knock him out and directly carry him back to Grand Desolate?”

  Ding Lingdang frowned and thought seriously for a second. Then she shook her head, rejecting this plan. “I can’t. With my fist being this powerful, what if I kill him with a single punch?”

  In the hallway outside the monitoring center, Li Yao’s gorgeous performance set off even more stormy waves.

  It seemed as if all the youths were shocked to the max. Quite a few of them rubbed their eyes with force. They did not dare to believe everything they’ve seen. Some people even let out strange cries.

  “Mother of god! One person flattened the entire Blue Team’s command center? Isn’t this way too abnormal?”

  “An evildoer. He’s one hundred percent an evildoer. He’s really way too dreadful!”

  “Where did this monster come from? Floating Spear City? I’ve never heard of such an expert in Floating Spear City. I’ve only heard of Helian Lie and a Zheng Dongming. I never thought that even Helian Lie wasn’t able to withstand him and was directly screwed!”

  “What a fearsome fellow. He must have come from some cultivator family. Compared to us ordinary rich and powerful kids, we’re not of the same world! We’re no match for him!”

  Right when these competitors were wagging their tongues spiritedly, the ejected competitors of the Blue Team command center members who had just been blown to “death” by Li Yao also returned to the Distant Expanse. They entered the spectator area with faces filled with bewilderment.

  Suddenly, they were surrounded in an impenetrable circle by the two thousand competitors.

  In an instant, they, especially Gao Ye and Helian Lie, turned into the focus of attention of a great many people.

  “Gao Ye, you’ve always been the pride of our East Harmony City. Everyone knows you to be a commander genius. I never thought you would actually be toyed with and be ‘beheaded’ by the enemy. You okay? How do you feel?” a person asked from within a crowd in a voice dripping with sarcasm.

  Gao Ye faintly chuckled. Not even a trace of the prior defeat remained on his face. He spoke calmly and peacefully, “It’s really pleasant. Really. To be able to meet such an amazing opponent who made me realize that my own commander skills are too infantile. To know that I still have great room for improvement. If we encounter each other next time, I certainly won’t make the same mistake. I will absolutely hunt this Li Yao immediately!”

  He paused a bit and looked around him in a circle. Gao Ye’s eyes finally focused on Li Yao’s figure within the giant hologram. He observed Li Yao for a long time before he spoke with complete seriousness, “However, I wish even more to fight side-to-side with Li Yao on the battlefield against Demon Beasts. I even can create several dozen different tactics with him being the core. I am confident that as long as we work together, with my commander abilities combined with his individual combat capability… Needless to say of high-level Demon Beasts, even if it’s the King of the Demon Race… Those powerful Demon Generals, Demon Kings, and even Demon Gods… They won’t be able to escape the palm of our hand!”

  Chapter 64: A Torrential Storm Shower |

  Gao Ye was filled with the bearing of a general as he expressed himself, drawing quite a few students, especially the girls, to exclaim in admiration.

  However, another fellow who desired to stir up trouble was disappointed by Gao Ye’s speech. His eyes turned, and he started to go after Helian Lie.

  “Helian Lie, I’ve heard you and Li Yao are of the same school and that you have some personal beef with each other. Can you speak in detail what that’s all about?”

  The majority of competitors were from the surrounding cities of Floating Spear City. They had no scruples about teasing Helian Lie. Onlookers would never be afraid of escalating the chaos. So there wasn’t much respect in the fellow’s words. Instead, he was doing the utmost to provoke Helian Lie.

  Helian Lie’s face changed to white. His teeth were gritting deeply into his lips. His two fists were clenched rigidly tight. He felt indignant to the extreme!

  He was silent for a good while before he squeezed out a stiff smile. He spoke reluctantly, “Li Yao and I previously had some misunderstanding; however, we’ve long since settled things. Li Yao has improved at lightning speed over the past month. He’s the pride of our Crimson Nimbus Second. I very much admire his efforts. Any personal grudges are simply complete nonsense! Apologies, please let me through. I need to go to the restroom.”

  Without waiting for additional questions, Helian Lie pushed his way through the crowd of competitors. He seemed to be escaping, jogging his way to the restroom.

  “UGH!”

  Helian Lie could not hold himself up any longer in the stall. His stomach was overturning in a mess, causing him to vomit with large mouthfuls. He vomited until he was dizzy; it was as if he had vomited every last drop of stomach acid.

  “Li Yao!”

  Helian Lie lifted his head. His eyes were red from vomiting for a long time. His entire self looked to be haggard, withered, and crazed. He looked like a malevolent demon.

  “Li Yao, you piece of trash! You entrail waste! You better not give me a chance. Not even a hair’s worth of opportunity! When I get the chance, I won’t let you go. I will absolutely use all my resour
ces to play with you till you die! Till you die!”

  Helian Lie’s pair of hands dug into the wall of the restroom. He clawed powerfully, tearing the wall. He was imagining the wall to be Li Yao’s laughing face.

  10 deep notches were dug out in the metal wall by him. Each notch flowed with crazed fresh blood!

  …...

  The Li Yao who had just been bitterly cursed by Helian Lie was comfortably concealed in a supply point in the depths of Devil Flood Dragon Island.

  He was checking his total points through Small Ji’s hologram.

  He was firmly holding the top ranking position ever since the moment he blasted the Blue Team’s command center to the skies. It was impossible for his position to be rattled, save for the sudden sinking of Devil Flood Dragon Island!

  To be honest, at the very beginning when Li Yao opened the backdoor on his artifacts, he did not think this far and profoundly. All he wanted was to seize and earn some convenient points.

  But what followed was the emergence of the Blue Team’s genius commander, Gao Ye, and the Red Team was forced to a dead end in an instant. Desperate times calls for desperate measures, and so Li Yao was forced to go all in.

  This Beheading Operation carried with it the highest level of risk. Luck had a huge role to play. It was a staggering risky gamble.

  In order to preserve his own safety, the explosion of the crystal cell bomb was delayed by half a minute. If the opponents had discovered the bomb immediately, they would have time to throw the bomb far far away.

  All that could be said was that luck stood by his side. Even the heavens gave him a helping hand. He was destined to enter Deep Sea University!

  Li Yao was not pressed to go out and slay Demon Beasts since he has earned sufficient points. The remaining surviving competitors were few in number. The entire Devil Flood Dragon Island had transformed into a Demon Beast paradise. Quite a few Demon Beasts possessed strength at a super high, tyrannical level. Even Li Yao wasn’t sure if he was capable of slaying them.
