First to Claim the Prize

Inside the driver's Bi'an, through the panoramic window.

Luo Yan saw the human-faced bird fan out a large amount of powder, which was then propelled over by a strong wind.

He had no intention of avoiding it; the Divine Weapon grade shield 'Xuanwu' stood in front of him, activating a barrier with up to 36 layers.

And concentrate them in front, layering them on top of each other.

At the same time, the Energy Absorption characteristics of the Super Core Matrix, 'Taotie', are activated.

The mechs strode forward, their movements shaking the earth and causing the ground to undulate.

At this moment, the powder blown by the human-faced bird began to explode, spewing forth Blazing Flame.

It transformed into a raging river of fire, crashing against the Bi'an.

Inside the driver's cab, Luo Yan felt the vibrations; outside the panoramic window, all he could see was raging, crimson flames.

He activated ' Unbounded Blazing Eyes,' his gaze piercing through the flames and landing on the human-faced bird with broken wings.

That cunning Upper-tier Giant Beast used a raging torrent of flames to intercept Luo Yan, and also used the flames to obscure Luo Yan's vision.

Unable to fly away, it folded its single wing and swiftly took flight, intending to escape this place.

How could Luo Yan let it escape?

The 'Black Tortoise' shield, with its 36 layers of barrier, blocked the raging fire, while the 'Taotie's' Energy Absorption properties simultaneously absorbed the impact of the Blazing Flame.

And the intense heat brought by the crimson flames.

In the blink of an eye, Luo Yan piloted the Bi'an out of the flames, and then he activated the Bi'an's thrusters.

Boom!

The eight main and secondary thrusters on the back of the mech were firing at full power, generating tremendous propulsion.

This caused the Bi'an to whistle and rush swiftly along the ground towards the human-faced bird in front.

With only one wing left, unable to take to the sky, how could Yong possibly outrun a mech equipped with a jetpack on the ground?

Outside the panoramic window, Shadow Flight, leaving only the silhouette of the human-faced bird growing larger and larger.

The longsword 'Flying Cloud' soared into the air, unleashing a burst of Primal Energy, creating a wisp of sword shadows as ethereal as wind and smoke.

Ultimate Skill, the Yi River Wind and Smoke!

After continuous refinement and rigorous training day and night.

Luo Yan's ultimate Ultimate Skill finally possessed some of the hazy, misty charm of the Yi River.

The human-faced bird glanced back and saw a sword strike approaching, devoid of any warmth or power, appearing gentle and weak, like a spring breeze and drizzle.

In an instant.

Like a gentle spring breeze and nourishing rain, it nourishes all things silently.

The countless sword shadows had already passed by the human-faced bird.

Yong froze for a moment, then tens of thousands of jets of blood burst forth from his entire body.

Arrows of blood shot into the sky, and feathers fluttered everywhere.

The ground and trees behind the behemoth suddenly exploded into fine powder, which was blown away by the Sword Wind, turning into a hazy mist that slowly dissipated.

The human-faced bird let out a miserable scream.

At this moment, the middle-aged man's face, in his two eyes...

The image reflects the Bi'an's rotating body and the posture of its long sword 'Flying Cloud' poised to sweep horizontally.

Then a head flew into the air, dripping with blood, before falling to the ground.

It rolled across the grass for a while before finally coming to a stop.

Luo Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief in the driver's seat.

He exhaled a long breath.

He shook his head slightly.

After Nether Gate Opening the Essence Gate, he unleashed his Primal Energy and used his Ultimate Skill, "A Strip of Rainbow," to cut off Yong's wings.

It took another Ultimate Skill to severely injure him before finally beheading him.

You should know that Di Zheng didn't have to go through this much trouble back then.

Using the Combat Skill ' Startling Thunder: Flash ', he killed the same giant beast.

From this perspective...

Luo Yan deeply felt that there was still a considerable gap between himself and Di Zheng.

At this moment, the image of Luo Yan sweeping off the head of the human-faced bird appeared on the screen of the event organizers.

Soon, all the students who participated in the Forbidden Zone Combat received a message.

"Hundred Battles Academy has slain Upper-tier Giant Beast, earning 20 points."

"The Hundred Battles Academy points will be temporarily allocated."

This news immediately caused a huge stir.

"Am I seeing things? Upper-tier Giant Beast?"

"It's only the second day, and Bai Zhan has already taken down a Shangjie?"

"Are you trying to kill us?!"

"If it's Upper-tier Giant Beast, it should be in the danger zone. Has anyone from the Hundred Battles Academy already ventured into the danger zone?"

"No doubt, it was Luo Yan who did it. That guy's mech is Divine Guard-class; only he could break into the danger zone."

"That's too strong! Even piloting Divine Guard-class carrier, it's outrageous that one person could take down an upper-level one!"

"I'd believe it if you told me he was a third-year student at Tiannan Third Hospital, but Luo Yan is only a first-year student."

Various types of radio waves were transmitted through the communication channels of different Academy.

Upon hearing the news, Fu Yan from the Lingchuan Academy's team exclaimed, "Senior Li Jun, let me lead the attack!"

"It's just a high-level cultivator. If Luo Yan can take him down, so can I!"

Li Jun asked in a deep voice, "Do you Divine Guard Mecha?"

"What you're using now is just a Advanced Mecha; its performance is far inferior to that of the Divine Guard."

"Rushing into danger zones without teammate support will only lead to certain death if you encounter a tough opponent at higher levels."

Fu Yan muttered to himself in the cockpit, "I can use technology to bridge the gap between different mechs."

Li Jun said, "There's no need to do that. Today, our entire team is going into the danger zone to hunt."

"I think Tiannan and Yingtian will probably do the same."

"There's no need to waste time in the Safe Zone."

Upon hearing this, Fu Yan exclaimed, "Great! Let's go, let's set off now!"

In the danger zone, next to the corpse of a Mid-tier Giant Beast lying on the ground, is a quaint-style mech.

With its gilded body, armor resembling that of an ancient warrior, and wielding a long spear, this is Qin Feng's mecha.

In the driver's seat, Qin Feng saw the message sent by the conference organizers and smiled as he spoke.

"Luo Yan is really lucky."

He looked around. "I've been here since yesterday, but unfortunately I haven't run into the upper steps."

After the mech extracted the behemoth's core and retrieved it, Qin Feng piloted the mech away.

After the initial shock subsided, the students calmed down and, following the advice of various advisory teams, began to take action.

The same applies to the Hundred Battles Academy.

Upon hearing that Luo Yan had slain Upper-tier Giant Beast, Zhao Ping and the others were all invigorated. After cheering, they threw themselves into the competition.

Inside the Forbidden Land, a figure resembling 'Black Nothingness' wearing a black cloak was guiding the group towards a Mid-tier Giant Beast.

That's the ' Jue Ru '. In the jungle, its ' Wood Control ' ability will be maximized.

Therefore, the four members of the Hundred Battles Academy prepared to finish the battle quickly.

Using Bai's eerie tactics to suppress the enemy, Lin Wei quickly killed him, while Liu Ruohan and Zhao Ping provided support and cover, while preventing other Academy teams from stealing the credit.

Soon, they spotted their target, but just as Bai was about to act, the shadow behind the giant deer suddenly rose silently and transformed into a black mech.

The mech, composed entirely of shadows, was drawing a long sword, about to attack the behemoth.

To the left of where the Great Deer was located, deep within a forest, a Pitch Black Mecha lay dormant.

It then synchronized its movements with those of the shadow mech.

Inside the Mecha Cockpit, Dong Huang chuckled, "Thanks, you Little Madman."

"I knew I'd gain something from following you."

"Let me show you my progress over the past six months. I've developed my own Divine Treasure and unleashed new abilities."

"You're not the only one making progress!"

As they were speaking, Dong Huang was about to thrust his long sword down when, at that moment, seven or eight Phantom Wolf suddenly rushed out from the bushes on the side.

The Wolf Pack swarmed forward, knocking down Dong Huang's mecha and disrupting his control over the giant beast's shadow.

The shadow mech immediately collapsed.
