Plunging into the Valley, Ice Umbrella

At this moment, Nan Xuanyu and the other two had already reached the mountaintop.

"Damn!"

On the other side of the mountaintop was another enormous valley. Qian Lei could not help but curse.

There were also large numbers of Earthfire Lizards in the valley, along with a massive Earthfire Red Dragon.

Several Soul Masters were currently fleeing in panic.

Without a doubt, the other side of the valley was another battlefield of the preliminaries.

The situation over there was even worse. Only five people remained.

"Get down!"

Qian Lei suddenly shouted.

The three quickly crouched down.

At that moment, fireballs flew in from both valleys almost simultaneously.

All of them were aimed at the three.

Nan Xuanyu abruptly unleashed powerful Soul Power and swiftly used Water Element Control.

In an instant, two thick Ice Walls formed on either side, protecting the three within.

Then he used Wind Element Control. As he poured Soul Power into Liu Feng's body, he swept the three of them sideways to evade.

Upon reaching the mountaintop, they had to face the attacks of two Earthfire Red Dragons.

Jin Xiang and his two companions faced the same situation. Terrified, the three had no choice but to fly downward.

But in the next instant, disaster struck them.

A red pillar of flame spewed from the Earthfire Red Dragon's mouth and shot into the sky.

The pillar soared skyward, and a rain of fiery meteors fell from above.

It was a large-scale, indiscriminate attack.

Jin Xiang and the other two had no time to evade. Before they could even scream, they vanished completely.

"Stick close to the mountain wall! Hurry!"

Nan Xuanyu used Water Element Control again, building an Ice House that enveloped the three of them and fitted tightly against the mountain wall.

Fiery meteors rained down one after another.

The booming reverberated throughout the valley, which had already turned into a sea of flames.

Liu Feng and Qian Lei were frightened pale.

A trace of relief appeared on his face as Qian Lei gave Nan Xuanyu a thumbs-up.

"Xuanyu, your Water Element Control is incredibly useful. It's practically our savior."

Although he was shivering inside the Ice House, they had at least avoided the meteor shower.

They were safe for the moment.

The five people below were instantly swallowed by the fiery meteor shower and vanished.

Seeing Nan Xuanyu's group escape disaster by pressing themselves against the mountain wall,

Lu Qianxun, Ye Lingtong, and Chang Jianyin did the same and also survived the attack.

Very soon, of the twenty-one students from the High-Energy Youth Class who had entered the valley in seven groups, only Nan Xuanyu's group and Lu Qianxun's group remained.

Everyone else had vanished and been eliminated from the preliminaries.

The Earthfire Lizards instantly lost their targets and crawled toward the two groups.

Nan Xuanyu continued releasing Water Element, rapidly freezing it to reinforce the Ice House.

At the same time, he released frost toward the mountain wall directly in front of the three.

The mountain wall was frozen over.

With the wall now slick with ice, it became far more difficult for the Earthfire Red Dragon to climb up.

The three were temporarily safe.

Lu Qianxun's group had already been targeted by the Earthfire Lizards. Pressed against the mountain wall, they continuously launched attacks.

Though somewhat bedraggled, they were temporarily safe as well.

"Damn, above us!"

Qian Lei suddenly cried out, startling Nan Xuanyu and Liu Feng.

The two looked up at the same time.

Earthfire Lizards appeared one after another above the mountaintop, trying to crawl downward.

These were the Earthfire Lizards from the other side of the valley.

Clearly, everyone on that side of the battlefield had been eliminated.

"What do we do?"

Liu Feng and Qian Lei immediately looked at Nan Xuanyu.

They were being attacked from both sides, and the pressure had doubled.

Lu Qianxun's group below also saw the situation. Chang Jianyin could not help but smile slightly.

"Looks like they're closer to them."

Lu Qianxun's group below also saw this, and relieved smiles appeared on their faces.

They even seemed a little gleeful at the others' misfortune.

"Xuanyu, what now?"

Liu Feng asked urgently.

"We're going down!"

Nan Xuanyu thought for a moment, then quickly dismissed the Ice House and used Water Element Control again.

A giant dragon instantly appeared around his body and charged toward the valley.

Before their astonished eyes, it swiftly transformed into a groove.

"Go!"

Nan Xuanyu shouted, grabbing Liu Feng and Qian Lei with his left and right hands.

Amid their cries of surprise, the three landed one after another on the Ice Sled and sat down.

"Damn, that works?"

Only then did Qian Lei understand that Nan Xuanyu intended to descend into the valley.

This method was seriously amazing.

The three sat on the Ice Sled and rapidly slid toward the valley.

The only problem was that their butts felt icy cold.

"Xuanyu, aren't we just throwing ourselves to our deaths by going down there?"

Although he trusted Nan Xuanyu, Liu Feng could not understand what Nan Xuanyu was trying to do.

He immediately drew the White Dragon Spear.

"Have they gone mad?"

Seeing Nan Xuanyu's group descend into the valley, Ye Lingtong widened her eyes, confusion written across her face.

"Should we follow them?"

Chang Jianyin looked at Lu Qianxun, asking for his opinion.

Nan Xuanyu's judgments had all been correct before.

Should they follow him now?

"Let's watch a little longer."

After hesitating, Lu Qianxun decided that the three would continue holding their position here.

For now, their location was the most advantageous.

They could hold out longer here.

For the moment, they could also watch how Nan Xuanyu's group dealt with the Earthfire Lizards after going down.

"Turn! Can we turn?"

Seeing that the three were about to fall into the densest cluster of Earthfire Lizards, Qian Lei cried out. His heart pounded wildly, practically leaping into his throat.

He and Liu Feng yelped frantically behind him, their whole bodies tense and cold sweat pouring down their foreheads.

"Stay calm!"

A huge Water Ball appeared in Nan Xuanyu's palm again. He threw it onto the Ice Sled, where it spread into the distance.

He controlled the sled's direction.

The Ice Sled extended toward another direction.

Now, the three of them were the only prey left. Everyone else had been eliminated.

The Earthfire Lizards had long been waiting for them below.

Lu Qianxun and the others truly could not understand what they were doing.

Why did they insist on throwing themselves to their deaths?

Very soon, the three slid to the ground, avoiding the densest cluster of Earthfire Lizards at the foot of the mountain.

Although Earthfire Lizards still rushed at them from all around, there were fewer of them.

Just then, the Earthfire Red Dragon flew overhead, and the meteor fire rain descended once more.

"I'll cover us. You take me toward the Earthfire Red Dragon!"

Nan Xuanyu swiftly formed an Ice Umbrella and held it over the three of them.

Liu Feng immediately used the White Dragon Spear and charged toward the Earthfire Red Dragon with the other two.

The fiery meteor rain fell. The Earthfire Lizards curled up on the ground and trembled.

The impacts against the Ice Umbrella produced sharp hissing sounds.

Nan Xuanyu pushed his Soul Power to the limit, barely managing to withstand the meteor fire rain for the moment.

Qian Lei was completely terrified by now.

The Earthfire Red Dragon was currently raising its head and continuously spewing a pillar of flame into the sky.

Even the Earthfire Lizards were terrified senseless.

The valley was filled with a terrifying, frenzied aura.

"Get beneath the Earthfire Red Dragon's belly!"

Nan Xuanyu shouted.

At this moment, the safest place in the entire valley was beneath the Earthfire Red Dragon's belly.

Lu Qianxun's group pressed themselves against the mountain wall.

In their minds, Nan Xuanyu's group was finished.

Liu Feng was currently in the White Dragon Return state, when his speed was at its greatest.

Like a little white dragon, he became one with his spear.

Within seconds, he brought Nan Xuanyu and Qian Lei close to the Earthfire Red Dragon.

The meteor fire rain continually struck the Ice Umbrella and crashed onto the ground with repeated booms.

Scorching waves of fire surged in from every direction.

The three wore grave expressions and kept their nerves taut, watching in all directions and listening carefully as they advanced with caution.

While supporting the Ice Umbrella, Nan Xuanyu also released icy mist to help the two dispel the fire poison.

"That works too?"

Looking at the Ice Umbrella above Nan Xuanyu's group, Lu Qianxun cried out in astonishment, his face full of admiration.
