Destroy Yang One-Blade! Snatch Xiao Xun'er!

"Boss Yang, you're really something!"

Upon seeing the message from Xiao Aotian, Yang Shan calmly replied, "Luck, luck."

Xiao Aotian: "I only have one question! I implore Boss Yang to answer honestly."

Yang Shan: "You said, 'Speak freely and without reservation.'"

Xiao Aotian: "How much favorability do you have with Medusa?"

Yang Shan: "Medusa? I don't even know what Medusa looks like!"

Xiao Aotian: "That's good. If you've even managed to get your hands on Medusa now, I'll still get you even if we don't cooperate anymore. It's infuriating!"

Yang Shan: "Boss Xiao, there's no need for that. Battle Through the Heavens countless beauties; how could you possibly collect them all?"

Xiao Aotian: "Of course I know I can't collect them all, but whatever I do, I must set a lofty goal!"

"For example, in a school exam, if your goal is a total score of 600, you might only get 600 at most. But if your goal is 700 and you really work hard towards that goal, you might get 650! In this way, even if you don't reach the goal in the end, the achievement is still higher than having a lower goal!"

Xiao Aotian has a rather unique perspective on "setting goals".

But upon closer examination, this might not be a bad idea.

But the prerequisite is that you have to "brainwash" yourself and make yourself believe that the goal you set has a chance of being achieved.

Yang Shan now understands why Xiao Aotian insisted on setting a goal to collect all the beautiful female characters in the original work.

Xiao Aotian: "After the Strong Ranking Competition, I will definitely find an opportunity to go to Tagor to find Medusa!"

In Battle Through the Heavens, many plot points occur at different times than in the original novel.

For example, the Medusa storyline hasn't even started yet, mainly because the players are too weak.

It's unrealistic to expect a group of Dou Master to get involved in the battle of Dou Emperor.

And it's unlikely that Xiao Aotian will be able to find Medusa anytime soon! After all, the plot at the Jia Nan Academy is progressing much faster than that of Medusa! Otherwise, why would they have specially opened up 30,000 spots for entering the Inner Courtyard this time?

We're counting on these players to protect Jia Nan Academy together!

Yang Shan and Xiao Xun'er continued chatting and laughing.

Xiao Xun'er didn't care about the opinions of others.

Yang Shan is different from Xiao Xun'er; he's just shameless!

Before long, Yang Shan sensed that several fluctuations of energy were approaching from ahead.

Yang Shan stood up and stretched his shoulders:

"Boss Xiao! Come on, we've got some work!"

According to the previous plan, their team of five would be divided into two lines of defense.

The first group consisted of Yang Shan and Xiao Aotian, while the second group included Xiao Xun'er, Han Yue, and Hu Jia.

Yang Shan gave a lot of serious analysis, but the only reason for this arrangement was that he and Xiao Aotian were players!

Naturally, you should try to collect as many Fire Energy Points and experience points as possible.

Xiao Xun'er and the others can just pick up the scraps.

Xiao Aotian asked excitedly, "They're really here?"

Yang Shan: "They've really come!"

Xiao Aotian could already see countless black dots in the distance gradually growing larger.

"Good heavens, is a four- Dou Wang's perception really that much stronger than mine?"

Xiao Aotian looked Yang Shan up and down. "Your Soul Strength has reached the Spirit Realm?"

Since Xiao Aotian said that, he must have also unlocked the Soul Strength cultivation section!

Yang Shan: "Not yet, Mortal Realm Perfection."

Xiao Aotian said smugly:

"Actually, I was just an ordinary Soul Strength a week ago, but I found a spiritual plant in the forest outside the academy that can enhance Soul Strength, and it skyrocketed to the Late Mortal Realm in just one day! It seems that I'm almost catching up with you in terms of Soul Strength!"

Why did Yang Shan say he was at the Mortal Realm Perfection? Wasn't it just to make Xiao Aotian feel better? If he were to honestly admit that he was almost at the Spirit Realm Middle Stage, wouldn't Xiao Aotian be furious?

One should still have a conscience. Xiao Aotian is, after all, a business partner in the pill business. One should at least leave others with some hope.

In the distance, approximately five hundred players from the Outer Courtyard gradually approached.

Xiao Aotian stepped forward, his Giant Ruler, taller than a person, creating a crater in the ground. He pointed to the plaque beside him and declared domineeringly:

"Come on, let's see how many of you can escape from under my Giant Ruler!"

Compared to Xiao Aotian, Yang Shan appeared much more humble, and his smile was warm:

"Friends, I'm sorry, but it's an order from Great Elder Su Qian of the Inner Courtyard. We have no choice. This time, the Black White Gatekeepers only have one team. If we can get past you, we will win. Good luck!"

A stir ran through the crowd opposite. "Holy crap! Yang Shan? Xiao Aotian?"

"I knew it! Why hadn't we encountered the Black White Gatekeepers? Great Elder Su Qian actually arranged for players to deal with us!"

"I'd rather face Lin Xiuya and Liu Qing than these two."

"What do we do now? Two Dou Wang, who can beat them?"

"Don't be afraid! There are many of us!"

Just then, a person suddenly stepped out from the crowd and looked at the breathtakingly beautiful woman behind Yang Shan and Xiao Aotian:

"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! Is that Xiao Xun'er?! Is that Xiao Xun'er?"

Xiao Xun'er thought for a moment, then stepped forward and politely said:

"Fellow juniors, this is the final hurdle you will face in this Fire Energy Hunting Competition. Whether you can enter the Inner Courtyard is not determined by whether you pass this hurdle, so we will not hold back. We hope that you juniors can show your best."

Xiao Xun'er has never appeared in the expansion pack.

Therefore, very few players can actually see Xiao Xun'er in the game.

This is the largest number of players Xiao Xun'er has ever faced in her life.

Xiao Xun'er's appearance made the male players ecstatic.

Even many female players' eyes lit up when they looked at Xiao Xun'er.

The vast majority of girls have no problem with their sexual orientation, but they also really enjoy looking at beautiful women.

This is simply a girl's love and appreciation for beauty.

Yang Shan believed that at this moment, many players must have already turned on the recording.

Yang Shan joked, "Senior, you're being so gentle with them, are you not planning to be ruthless later?"

Xiao Xun'er shook her head:

"Of course not. Guarding this last hurdle is the only way to be responsible to our juniors."

"That's good. Let's try not to miss a single one."

Xiao Aotian couldn't stand Yang Shan and Xiao Xun'er's intimate and natural interaction any longer, so he grabbed Giant Ruler and charged forward. "If you want to pass the level and get the reward, come on! Defeat me!"

Xiao Aotian plunged into the crowd, and blue flames rose from the Giant Ruler.

As Xiao Aotian waved his hand, a large area of blue flames spread.

Xiao Aotian's Beast Flame must have been replaced; its power is much greater than before.

It's probably Beast Flame with a sixth or Seventh Order mutated Magic Core!

However, out of a million players from the Outer Courtyard, only 30,000 participated in this Fire Energy Hunting Competition, so they were certainly no pushovers.

At the very least, they should be players who are relatively well-developed within the top tier.

Among these five hundred or so players, Yang Shan no longer saw Da Dou Shi.

Even the lowest level is Two-Star Dou Ling!

Although Xiao Aotian and Yang Shan are teammates, they are actually competitors.

Fire Energy Points and experience points both have to be fought for! After a long period of development, Xiao Aotian is no longer the same novice he once was.

Compared to the Jia Nan Academy recruitment competition in Cloud Frost City, Yang Shan couldn't really estimate how strong Xiao Aotian had become now.

Although Yang Shan did not think Xiao Aotian could defeat him in a one-on-one fight.

But for all the other players, Xiao Aotian's current strength can probably only be described as "terrifying".

Although those 500-plus players activated their Dou Qi Armor the moment Xiao Aotian made his move.

However, under the terrifying offensive launched by Xiao Aotian's Giant Ruler in conjunction with the Azure Beast Flame, his Vitality Shield was rapidly declining.

Compared to Xiao Aotian's grand gesture, Yang Shan's actions were much less dramatic.

With the Thunderbolt Blade in hand, Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning, he was struck.

"Tyrant Blade" stance, activate!

Yang Shan didn't use any movement Dou Technique, but his speed was already much faster than many players who did use movement techniques!

"Damn! Watch out, Yang One-Blade is coming!"

"Keep it easy, let's deal with Yang One-Blade first."

"Where is Yang One-Blade? Where is Yang One-Blade? Someone tell me where Yang One-Blade is! Ah!"

The player who had been searching for Yang Shan but was completely disoriented by Yang Shan's absurd speed was slashed through by Yang Shan's sword, which cut off all his health.

The player's health immediately increased, and then he turned into a white light, appearing in an area specially marked out Inner Courtyard gate.

This player has ended his Fire Energy Hunting Competition journey.

He needs to stand here until the game is completely over.

What just happened?

The player watched as the crimson lightning bolt weaved through the crowd of players, and with just a couple of casual strikes, he could summon an unlucky soul to join him as an ally.

White light flashed continuously around me.

More and more players are being eliminated.

"Damn it, what's the point of fighting now?!"

In a moment of quick thinking, the player shouted ahead, "Brothers, run! You're no match for these two monsters! Run! Gather all the brothers from the Outer Courtyard! I refuse to believe these two can hold off 30,000 people!"

Many players may not be very skilled, but they are really good at thinking.

In fact, many people had already chosen to leave before this player even reminded them.

"Run!"

"Brothers, run first!"

"Go back and call your friends!"

"They'll get their revenge sooner or later! How dare they be so arrogant with just two players!"

"We have to gather everyone. So what if Top Player? We can just treat them as bosses and take them down!"

However, the fact that players can treat Yang Shan and Xiao Aotian as bosses means that they are now extremely outrageous.

In just that short time, Yang Shan and Xiao Aotian personally eliminated nearly a hundred players.

The other players had already fled.

Yang Shan and Xiao Aotian got back together.

Xiao Aotian complained:

"You're quite fast!"

Yang Shan: "It's a minor issue."

"A minor issue?"

Xiao Aotian poured cold water on the situation:

"Easy for you to say. Didn't you hear them say that next time they'll probably have to deal with 30,000 players? Can you handle that?"

Yang Shan shook his head:

"I can't handle it."

Xiao Aotian: "Then why are you so calm?"

Yang Shan: "If I can't handle it, I can call my senior."

"Hey! You want to be disgusting, huh?"

Xiao Aotian decided not to argue with Yang Shan to avoid causing himself trouble. He said seriously:

"We can't just sit here and wait to die!"

Yang Shan: "Yes, I have an undercover agent in the Outer Courtyard."

Xiao Aotian laughed and said, "What a coincidence, I also have an undercover agent!"

Yang Shan: "Then this matter will be easy to handle. We can take the initiative and fight a guerrilla war."

Xiao Aotian: "Great minds think alike. We have Dou Qi Transformation Wings, so whether we fight or run away is up to us."

Yang Shan: "Let my senior, Han Yue, and Hu Jia stay behind."

Xiao Aotian: "There's no time to lose, let's hurry!"

Yang Shan immediately opened his friend list and clicked on Su Yitang's profile picture:

"Calling Su Yitang!"

Su Yitang called directly via voice message.

As soon as the call connected, Su Yitang's soft, sweet voice rang out. "Boss, boss! What's wrong?"

Yang Shan: "Where are you now?"

Su Yitang: "We should be getting close to the inner gate. Oh, I see a lot of players running from the direction of the inner gate."

Yang Shan: "Follow them, they want to gather all the players and charge in."

Su Yitang: "Okay, boss, I'll get on it right away! Oh, by the way, boss, there's something I need to report to you. One of the players from the Outer Courtyard has reached the Dou Wang level!"

Yang Shan: "Dou Wang? What attribute? Do you have a screenshot?"

Su Yitang: "No, I rushed too fast at the time. When I looked back, the person was already gone, but the aura he showed earlier should have been that of Dou Wang."

Yang Shan: "Okay, I understand."

There are currently many Top Player being discussed on the forum.

Leaving aside the three players signed by Yang Shan.

Jin Shankao and Ye Suifeng of the Hero King Manor.

Xiao Aotian and Li Batian of the Heaven Flame Alliance.

Hao Yunqi of the Tian Hao Alliance.

Then there's Lucky Poison Hand, the leader of the Hidden Thorn.

Even Lucky Poison Hand and Li Batian are still on their way to becoming Fighting Dou Wang because they have only recently developed rapidly.

Suddenly, another Dou Wang appeared? Which Great God from the previous life is starting to exert his power again?

Could it be Yi Qingyang of the "Sword Sect"?

But it seems he didn't Jia Nan Academy in his previous life.

Yang Shan was somewhat curious.

No matter who it is, we're bound to run into each other in this competition.

Soon, Su Yitang reported the situation to Yang Shan.

The four hundred retreating players have already started calling on their friends through chat.

They also went to pick up other people in batches, preparing to gradually gather 30,000 players together in one place.

Su Yitang took the opportunity to infiltrate the group, gathered a lot of information, and carefully selected two groups of players heading towards the rendezvous point for Yang Shan.

The quantities are all over a thousand! Yang Shan immediately explained the situation to Xiao Xun'er and the others.

Xiao Xun'er: "Junior, I want to go too."

Yang Shan: "Senior, if you go, there will be no one to guard this place! Don't worry, we're just going to weaken their strength a little!"

Xiao Xun'er nodded. "Okay, I'll do whatever you say."

Xiao Aotian has already contacted an "undercover agent".

The two split up and headed towards the large groups of players!

In the northern part of the forest, thousands of players headed towards the gathering point.

The player community is never short of busybodies.

They even created thirty large group chats with thousands of members each!

Then, another thirty group administrators were quickly selected.

Develop plans and coordinate resources.

They even issued all sorts of slogans:

"We are all one family in the Outer Courtyard; advancement depends on everyone!"

"Let's enter the Inner Courtyard together, and meet at the pinnacle!"

"Although we don't know each other, we both want to kill Yang One-Blade!"

"Kill Yang One-Blade! Snatch Xiao Xun'er!"

"Before, I could only curse Yang Shan, saying he deserved to die! Now I can work with my brothers to kill him!"

"Family members, does anyone need used stockings?"

(The player "My Stockings Are Very Easy To Tear" has been removed from the Outer Courtyard chat group #5.) Yang Shan Shanren was almost numb when he heard the news.

"No, why is it all directed at me? Where is Xiao Aotian?"

Although Xiao Aotian is arrogant, he doesn't have nearly as much ability to incite hatred as Yang Shan!

Putting everything else aside, Ya Fei is now Yang Shan's woman! Countless players hate Yang Shan to the core.

But who could do anything to Yang Shan? Now it's different. There are 30,000 people, each with Dou Ling. They could overwhelm Yang Shan with sheer numbers!

At least that's what these players from the Outer Courtyard think.

Su Yitang also praised them for their ambitious goals.

It's just a bit too ambitious.

At this stage, let alone a group of Dou Ling, even Dou Emperor Yang Shan from leaving if he wanted to! Don't forget that last time in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, Yang Shan single-handedly lured away the Amethyst Winged Lion King!

Su Yitang's assessment of Yang Shan's ability to escape was:

Don't even try to get involved if you haven't reached the Dou Zong! In front of this group of about a thousand people, there was actually a small team of five people.

These are the senior students from the Inner Courtyard.

They were originally there to give the new students in the Outer Courtyard a challenging lesson.

Unexpectedly, it was himself who was assigned the most difficult task.

"Run! Run!"

The five senior students panicked and ran haphazardly, fearing that if they were even a little slow, their own Fire Energy Points would be lost.

The new students are also full of talent, including some Wind Attribute Dou Ling who have learned the Xuan-level movement technique.

More than thirty Wind Attribute Dou Ling blocked the five senior students.

"Five seniors, hand over the Fire Energy Points, and we won't have to fight, right?"

The five veteran students were quite unwilling to accept this.

They were preparing to take out their Crystal Card and transfer the Fire Energy Points to the new students.

The crimson figure gradually approaching on the horizon rekindled hope in the five veteran students:

"It's Junior Yang!"

"There's hope! There's hope now!"

"Junior Yang! Over here! Over here!"

Yang Shan fell from the sky.

No one could see his face clearly; all they could see were crimson lightning flashing back and forth.

More than thirty Wind Attribute Dou Ling with Xuan-level movement techniques seemed like infants who couldn't walk nimbly in front of Yang Shan.

Two Wind Attribute Dou Ling didn't even have time to activate their Dou Qi Armor before Yang Shan slashed their throats and teleported them away as white light.

"Damn! Yang One-Blade!"

"Wasn't he supposed to be blocking the entrance to the Inner Courtyard? How did he end up here?"

"Is he really Yang One-Blade? I can't see clearly!"

"That's precisely why he's so fast! Who else can be as fast as him?"

"Stop chatting, damn it! Fight back now!"

"Retaliation? In the blink of an eye, three of my buddies turned into white light."

"Run! Run now!"

Running away is useless.

After helping the five senior students out of their predicament, Yang Shan immediately charged into the main force at the front.

Yang Shan is feeling extremely distressed right now.

If only I had a different kind of Heavenly Flames.

With such a dense crowd, an Overload would wipe them out in seconds, so why bother cutting them down piece by piece? A minute later, another unlucky soul appeared in the "elimination zone" next to the Inner Courtyard gate.

But instead of giving up, this player opened the chat and yelled:

"Calling the administrator! Calling the administrator! The situation has changed, Yang One-Blade has arrived!"

"Yes, yes, yes, right here with our Twenty-Seventh Team!"

"I'm already dead. Quickly send more men to try and surround and kill Yang One-Blade on the spot!"
