Zheng Jiang blocked his tall, imposing figure in front of the team, frowning at the chaotic battlefield. The three unconscious melee fighters looked miserable, not to mention the sobbing girl in the distance.

"Instead of acquiring weapons yourself, you rob other teams?" Zheng Jiang said. "I'm really impressed. Others think having more friends means more paths, but you, you offend everyone you can."

His words were clearly soft but firm.

Gao Junwei sneered, "Do you think everyone is qualified to be my friend? Are you worthy?"

Xing Lang was furious. Gao Junwei used to be his classmate and was arrogant in the school bully team. He didn't expect to be so arrogant even after being kicked out of the school bully team.

Just as Xing Lang was about to say something, melee fighter Zhang Hui's voice suddenly came from the invisible earpiece: "Xing Lang, there's no need to conflict with them. If you want to fight, wait until the rematch."

Against normal teams, Xing Lang's "recklessness" was enough, but against this kind of top team, he shouldn't be impulsive!

Zhang Hui came behind Xing Lang, grabbed him, and walked to the side.

This suited Zheng Jiang's wishes, and he hurriedly helped.

Gao Junwei looked at the commander Zhang Mingming and asked, "What do you think, Commander Zhang?"

Zhang Mingming had all the teams' information in his head. While the two sides were talking, he had already analyzed it. He nodded and said, "We can fight. There's no problem."

"Did I let you leave?" Gao Junwei immediately shouted at Xing Lang's team members.

Liu Chang, the female magic user in Xing Lang's team, also lost her temper. She seemed unable to stand the arrogance of the other side and shouted, "Do I need your permission to leave? Who do you think you are!?"

Yu Zhen looked Liu Chang up and down, and was about to say something when she suddenly saw Zhang Mingming raise a fist high in front of her.

The next moment, a team of soldiers ran quickly from a distance towards the unconscious students and the crying girl.

Seeing this, Zhang Hui hurriedly dragged Xing Lang away, constantly winking at Zheng Jiang.

Under Zhang Mingming's gesture, the team did not launch an attack on Xing Lang's team. Of course, even if they attacked, as long as they didn't kill anyone, it wouldn't be a foul, but Zhang Mingming seemed unwilling to do so when soldiers were present.

Until the soldiers left with the injured, Xing Lang's team disappeared without a trace under Zhang Hui's strong persuasion.

"You and Gao Junwei go after them. Zhang Weiliang and I will guard the spoils." Zhang Mingming said to Yu Zhen.

Yu Zhen was slightly stunned. Split up?

To be honest, she wasn't worried about losing, but she was a little worried that Zhang Mingming and Zhang Weiliang would be in danger.

"Go ahead, it's okay." Zhang Mingming seemed to see through Yu Zhen's thoughts and said with a smile, "Zhang Weiliang and I will take the spoils back to the mission point. We'll wait for you there."

Zhang Mingming's choice was interesting.

First of all, it was very close to the mission point.

Secondly, they were taking the spoils back to the mission point, where there were guardian soldiers.

Although there was no explicit rule prohibiting fighting at the mission point,

students probably wouldn't dare to cause trouble at the mission point, which also objectively protected Zhang Mingming and Zhang Weiliang, whose team was understaffed.

Zhang Mingming continued, "Gao Junwei, don't make a sound. It's best to use a sneak attack strategy in this battle. Make good use of your *ju hou* (fearful roar) Star Technique. The primary target is Xing Lang. As long as he falls, this team will fall. Yu Zhen, pay attention to that female mage. Weiliang and I will wait for you back at the mission point."

Gao Junwei nodded, and he and Yu Zhen ran out quickly.

In the deep forest, Xing Lang's team was marching quickly. Liu Chang was obviously still upset and couldn't stand the arrogant appearance of the team just now.

"Okay, Liu Chang, stop talking about it." Zhang Hui said in a unique Northern Jiang dialect, "Didn't you see how many headbands Gao Junwei has on his arm? Didn't you count how many teams they kicked out? You don't know Gao Junwei's strength. If he went to Third High, would he go to a weak team? It's most important for us to get a ranking."

"I'm not boosting his morale," Zhang Hui said coldly. "A team like Gao Junwei's should be fought by Han Jiangxue's team."

*Ping!*

A bolt of lightning suddenly struck down, exploding in front of everyone!

!!!

Although the lightning didn't strike the team members, it was very close to them, and they were inevitably affected.

Zhang Hui reacted the fastest and dodged the fastest, but his expression changed drastically.

Dense footsteps came quickly. Gao Junwei charged in alone and shouted, "Stop!"

This wasn't an ordinary shout, but a shout carrying a Star Technique - *ju hou* (fearful roar)!

Because Xing Lang's team was suddenly attacked by lightning, their formation was unstable, and they were flustered, which led to Gao Junwei directly rushing in.

This roar was almost face to face.

In an instant, the four members of Xing Lang's team were shocked and became even more flustered. Even the brave and unparalleled Xing Lang suddenly felt a sense of retreat in his heart.

Deep in the woods, there was a tall girl with a ponytail, covering her ears with both hands, as if she already knew what was about to happen.

Of course, her actions didn't do much good, it was just some psychological comfort.

Strictly speaking, *ju hou* (fearful roar) is a range Star Technique. Whether you cover your ears, wear earplugs, or even if you are deaf, as long as you are within the range of the *ju hou* (fearful roar), you will be frightened.

Yu Zhen calmed herself down and quickly joined the battlefield, while Gao Junwei was like a tiger in a flock of sheep.

The sharp Tang sword could kill people.

But Gao Junwei knew what he was doing and didn't plan to joke about his team's competition qualification, so his Tang sword didn't hit the target's vitals.

Xing Lang's team didn't make any effective resistance at all. Under Gao Junwei's sneak attack with the *ju hou* (fearful roar), they were directly shocked and chaotic.

Except for Xing Lang, who looked embarrassed and barely stood firm, the others even turned around and ran away.

The gap and effect of Star Techniques are so obvious.

This roar made the tall shield warrior Zheng Jiang run far away, and Zhang Hui, the agile warrior, and Liu Chang, the magic user, also ran away with him.

The difference was that Zheng Jiang and Liu Chang stopped as soon as they stabilized their minds and quickly turned around to support Xing Lang.

But Zhang Hui ran away without a trace.

"Xing Lang!" Zheng Jiang's expression changed drastically. As soon as he turned his head, he saw Xing Lang being slashed away, covered in blood.

Zheng Jiang subconsciously condensed an ice shield and ran over in a hurry.

*Ping!*

A bolt of lightning crashed down, but the target wasn't Zheng Jiang, but Liu Chang, who had just stabilized her position.

Deep in the forest, Yu Zhen was holding a phantom scepter, with a deep blue gem on the top of the scepter, emitting a faint light.

Yu Zhen saw Liu Chang being blasted away by the lightning. She didn't have any joy or satisfaction. She didn't even have much emotional fluctuation. She felt that everything that happened was as it should be.

Liu Chang was blasted away by the sudden lightning strike, her body was numb, and blue currents covered her body, not only causing her injuries, but also interfering with her body movements and even preventing her from mobilizing the star power in her body.

Gao Junwei carried the Tang sword and plunged towards Xing Lang. Without saying a word, he delivered another "charge"!

"Stop!" Zheng Jiang's face was livid. He looked at Gao Junwei with gritted teeth. At this time, there was no classmate friendship. Zheng Jiang understood Gao Junwei's personality and didn't think about that at all.

Xing Lang gritted his steel teeth and twisted his face, but he didn't shout out.

But his chest, including his left arm, was already scorched black. Under the black and charred flesh, even the white bones were exposed, and blood was flowing in large quantities. The scene was extremely cruel.

Gao Junwei stood up, held the sword in front of his eyes, and said, "Be thankful, if it wasn't a competition, he would be dead."

Zheng Jiang hurriedly said, "You leave here, and we'll withdraw from the competition."

Gao Junwei's naturally lowered hand held the Tang sword and directly picked towards Xing Lang's head.

Zheng Jiang's expression changed suddenly, and he shouted, "Stop!"

Gao Junwei said with a smile, "What are you yelling about? I like to collect headbands, the bloodier the better."

Xing Lang was really a tough guy. He tried hard to turn over, raised his still mobile left arm, grabbed the bloody Tang sword with one hand, and didn't care that the sharp blade cut through his palm. His voice was a little tight as he spoke: "Sneak attacks... what kind of... skill is that!?"

Before Gao Junwei could respond, he heard a scream from behind. He turned his head and saw a cold and arrogant ponytail girl, holding a phantom scepter, fiercely unleashing her power.

"Stop it, we'll withdraw from the competition, we admit defeat!" Zheng Jiang shouted loudly.

Yu Zhen ignored Zheng Jiang at all. Instead, she increased the output of star power. The deep blue gemstone on the top of the scepter became even more intense in color, and lightning splashed everywhere, even affecting Yu Zhen herself.

But Yu Zhen didn't seem to feel it, nor could she hear Liu Chang's screams. She just looked at Liu Chang coldly: "Keep your mouth clean."

Gao Junwei was slightly stunned, and didn't know what Liu Chang had said that would make Yu Zhen teach her such a lesson.

"Stop! You..." Zheng Jiang's face changed again and again. From the moment Xing Lang was driven out of the forest by Gao Junwei, their team had made the most fatal mistake.

Now, it would have been better to have opened up the formation and fought the opponent just now.

At least everyone would have been mentally prepared and known how to fight.

Now, Gao Junwei's sudden entry, coupled with that disgusting Star Technique, directly wiped out the entire team.

Damn Zhang Hui, who knows where he ran off to. Dammit.

Zheng Jiang made a decisive decision, and didn't care about the ranking anymore. Life was the most important thing!

Zheng Jiang took off his headband and pointed the miniature camera at himself, saying, "Team 41 withdraws from the competition, repeat, team 41 withdraws from the competition."

Gao Junwei was slightly stunned and understood what Zheng Jiang was doing. Since the other party chose to withdraw, his side could no longer attack.

The next moment, the referee's voice came from everyone's invisible earpieces.

Yu Zhen flicked her right hand, and the illusory scepter in her hand disappeared without a trace. She casually kicked Liu Chang away and finally stopped.
