Faintly, the auras emitted by these man-eating flowers had already reached the Third Rank.
"So weak. They can only test others."
"To me, they're useless."
Xu Chen waved his hand. In an instant, several Spiritual Qi Streamers shot from his palm, heading straight for the man-eating flowers.
In the blink of an eye, those man-eating flowers had their roots severed by the streamers and died completely.
Before dying, thick dark-green sap had flowed from their roots.
He paid it no mind. Just like in his previous life, there was no difference at all.
Against attacks of this level, there was simply no need for him to use his Body-protecting Qi.
He continued onward and discovered that with merely a wave of his hand, every poisonous flower and toxic plant vanished without a trace.
Very soon, Xu Chen left the poisonous flower and toxic grass area and arrived at the Swamp Area.
"This swamp will swallow anyone who enters it. Their feet won't be able to escape, making it extremely difficult to cross."
"This is actually a formation. As long as the formation is broken, the swamp will disappear."
Xu Chen recalled.
He smiled. If he had been a new student, he naturally would have found it difficult to know how to break the formation.
But he was not. He knew every inch of this place like the back of his hand.
Soon, he walked up to a certain tree and fiercely struck it.
Crack!
With a sharp cracking sound, the tree toppled over.
Bang!
The next second, the formation barrier shattered.
Countless lights scattered with the sound, like fireflies drifting through the air.
The swamp rapidly vanished, as though it had never existed.
Just like that, Xu Chen had broken through the second stage.
"The main thing is that the final stage, the third stage, isn't something everyone encounters—only some people will."
"And only five people can pass the third stage. Those who fail will be directly eliminated."
"Duan Qianyuan will appear in the third stage."
Xu Chen said with interest.
Perhaps he could start killing people now.
PS: Ninth update!! Please give all kinds of support!!!
Xu Chen arrived at the third stage, which was also a formation.
However, it was not a swamp formation, but the Five Vortex Formations.
There were five temporarily sealed Vortex Passages here, each capable of allowing one person through.
Once someone passed through, the Vortex Passage would disappear and close completely.
As for everyone else, they would be eliminated.
Xu Chen narrowed his eyes and looked over. The Vortex Passages were unfathomably deep like black holes, yet they glittered like a starry sky.
The vortices churned continuously, silver light flickering within their dark depths.
In roughly a quarter of an hour, the Vortex Passages would fully open.
At this moment, Xu Chen gradually saw quite a few people arriving beside the Vortex Passages.
Other than Xu Chen, all of them bore injuries to varying degrees.
When they saw that Xu Chen was completely unscathed, their mouths fell slightly open. "Not injured at all?"
Their words carried a trace of disbelief.
Duan Qianyuan, dressed in blue, also arrived. Hearing this, he narrowed his eyes. "Perhaps he was lucky."
Xu Chen chuckled but said nothing more.
According to the original plot, Duan Qianyuan would be able to pass.
Xu Chen had no intention of stopping him either. There were too many people here, making it inconvenient to kill.
After passing through the Vortex Passages, there would be fewer people and more demonic beasts. Then it would be much easier to kill someone.
"I'm here."
Just then, a Female Voice rang out as well.
Xu Chen turned his head and discovered that it was the cool and elegant Bu Fengshuang.
When she saw Xu Chen, she walked over under everyone's jealous gazes.
Without saying a word, she consciously positioned herself behind Xu Chen.
Her meaning was crystal clear: whoever opposed Xu Chen would bear the consequences.
Xu Chen's face twitched painfully. No, she was not his maid. There was absolutely no need for this.
I've rejected you all this time, so why are you still clinging to me?
The people around them twitched at the corners of their mouths. Damn it!
There were not many beautiful women who had entered, yet the prettiest one had been completely captivated by Xu Chen. This was absurd.
Xu Chen did not waste words and said directly, "I want one spot. Who agrees, and who objects?"
The moment those words fell, no one dared utter a single word.
They all pretended not to hear him, which counted as silent agreement.
Xu Chen smiled. This was the benefit of being strong.
If he had hidden his strength like the protagonist, perhaps some clown would have jumped out just now.
Bu Fengshuang also said, "I'm reserving one as well, and I don't want anyone to object."
Everyone's teeth ached. Who would dare oppose her?
Academy Grand Competition Champion—was opposing her not simply courting death?
Immediately afterward, Duan Qianyuan released the aura of the Late-stage Third Rank. "I'm reserving one too. Who dares object?"
His voice was loud and resounding, even carrying a faint trace of smugness.
Because aside from Xu Chen and Bu Fengshuang, he was the strongest person here.
He had every right to be a little arrogant.
As expected, the people around them still did not dare speak.
But the next thing Xu Chen said made Duan Qianyuan's body instantly stiffen.
"Whoever can beat Duan Qianyuan senseless, I'll reserve a spot for them."
Xu Chen said flatly.
To prevent Duan Qianyuan from making trouble for him later, he might as well strike first.
This guy was also highly skilled with poison. In his previous life, Xu Chen had fallen into Duan Qianyuan's trap, which was why things had ended up that way.
Duan Qianyuan's expression darkened slightly. "Xu Chen, we have no grievances between us, do we?"
Xu Chen chuckled. "But I have a grudge against Ye Xuan. Aren't you quite familiar with Ye Xuan?"
Duan Qianyuan gritted his teeth. Damn it, he had been seen through.
He had originally planned to join forces with Ye Xuan to deal with Xu Chen after passing the third stage.
Who would have thought that Xu Chen would toy with him first?
Thus, he said coldly, "I'd like to see who dares."
In an instant, his Late-stage Third Rank aura and Highly Toxic Spiritual Qi began to emanate from his body.
Quite a few people's expressions changed slightly, and they hurriedly moved away.
Buzz!
But at that moment, Bu Fengshuang made her move.
With a casual gesture, she formed a Fifth Rank grand formation, instantly trapping Duan Qianyuan within it.
The next second, countless bolts of lightning struck toward Duan Qianyuan, electrocuting him until his face blackened and his smoking hair stood on end.
Hiss!
