Meng Chen led the group forward in high spirits, pushing deep into Three Talents Academy's grounds.
Avatars were a wonderful thing. Even if they were destroyed, the loss was minimal, making them perfect for scouting ahead. Nearly thirty people in the team released their avatars, forming them into a scout unit that hurried forward.
This was a highly practical method. They could use avatars to trigger many traps and let them take the risks in place of their true bodies. In past Heroes Gatherings' Trap Wars, everyone did this.
Fan Lang did not release an avatar. Instead, he had a more direct idea. With a wave of his hand, he tore open space and created a Space Channel connected to the far end of the grounds, intending to teleport over just like that.
If he succeeded, it would not matter how many traps lay along the way.
This was permitted by the rules. If one truly had the ability to teleport straight to the end, one could win directly!
However, things would not be that simple. Both sides would take every precaution against such a possibility and set up countermeasures.
Fan Lang opened the Space Channel and discovered that the space at the far end had been altered. It had become extremely unstable, making it difficult to establish a stable passage. Forcing a teleportation would entail unknown risks. Repairing it, meanwhile, would take far too much time and was not worth the effort.
This basically cut off the possibility of teleporting there directly.

It would have been surprising if
