The Fierce Battle of the Second Half

"I never imagined that a mere sophomore could turn things into this mess."

Seeing the situation spiraling out of control, Ma Xuan knew that they had reached the worst possible point.

The two people in front of them, Xiao Qingxuan and Zhang Yu, were enough to turn the construction site upside down.

If he were to intervene to stop the two, Shi Huaiyu, without his restraint, would soon be able to lead his team to break in.

If a large-scale melee breaks out on the construction site without any cover, then it's likely that the bunker won't be able to be built in the end.

"But there was no other choice..."

Ma Xuan withdrew the Small Three Harmonies technique that had been suppressing Shi Huaiyu in the distance, then pushed out with a palm. Mud and sand rose into the sky from beneath his feet, like a flash flood, surging towards Zhang Yu and Xiao Qingxuan in front of him, instantly blasting the two away!

At the same time, Shi Huaiyu seized the opportunity and led his team through the raging mud!

Cong Na and Yang Yan had also retreated and were blocking the way in front of the bunker!

The entire construction site was instantly divided in two by the two sides!

The two sides stood facing each other, their eyes clashing in the air, filled with fighting spirit!

Ma Xuan sighed and said calmly, "Bu Ziran, come out and join us in the defense!"

"Gusu Su, you alone must do everything in your power to build as many as you can!"

He clasped his hands together, and waves of mud transformed into a barrier, completely enveloping the bunker behind him!

The next moment, a fierce battle suddenly broke out in front of the bunker!

Che Yufei and Shi Yunxiang rushed to the front and collided directly with Cong Na and Bu Ziran, unleashing waves of powerful air currents!

Shi Huaiyu manipulated the sand and mud to crash towards the bunker, but a deafening roar, like the clash of metal, rang out!

Shi Huaiyu explained, "The Finger Pointing Turns to Steel in the Seven Absolutes is one of the Seven Absolutes that Ma Xuan learned more of than I did!"

"After using the Finger Pointing Turns to Steel, we can temporarily abandon flexible control over the earth and switch to rigid protection!"

With a light step, Ma Xuan sent pillars of rock shooting towards the group like steel spears from the ground!

At the same time, Ji Yuan Shu unleashed bursts of Thunder-Fire Gang Qi from afar!

With a thought from Zhang Yu, several Formless Warrior suddenly appeared, blocking all the incoming Thunder-Fire Gang Qi!

Then, with a punch, the surging Gang Qi blasted towards the barrier in front of the bunker!

Bu Ziran spat out Lung Metal Sword Qi to intercept, but then Tian Yang attacked again, accompanied by a sandstorm!

On the other side, Xiao Qingxuan roared violently with Dragon-Shaped Gang Qi all over his body, frantically crashing into the barrier erected by Ma Xuan. In the midst of the fierce battle, the entire construction site shook back and forth, as if it had experienced one earthquake after another!

Although Ma Xuan and the others had tried their best to resist, the battlefield was too close to the buildings, which made them dare not unleash their full power!

In contrast, Zhang Yu's side attacked without any restraint, suppressing Ma Xuan and the others so much that they couldn't even raise their heads!

The barriers erected by Ma Xuan gradually crumbled, and with each repair and reconstruction, the fortifications behind them were constantly exposed!

"The fighting broke out on the construction site; this is the worst possible outcome!"

Although Ma Xuan thought this way, he knew that at this point, he was powerless to change the situation and could only do his best to hold on and try to increase the score in this round!

When this round ended, Ma Xuan and his team's bunker completion rate was rated at 42%.

Seeing this result, Bu Ziran glared at Ji Su Su angrily and said, "What did you do? We blocked so many attacks, and you only managed 42%?"

Ji Su Su said calmly, "The foundation is about to be shattered, so 42% is already pretty good!"

Ji Yuan Shu said, "Isn't it because they broke in! I don't understand, with so many of you, why were you defeated by Zhang Yu to that extent?"

Bu Ziran frowned, glanced at Ji Yuan Shu, and said, "What's your department's ranking? Do you even understand the competition?"

Ji Yuan Shu opened his mouth, but found himself speechless!

Ma Xuan sighed and said, "The attacking side naturally has the advantage; there's nothing we can do about it!"

"This next game is our home turf!"

"As the attackers, our Overall Strength advantage will be continuously amplified!"

Ma Xuan glanced at the location of Zhang Yu and the others, and said coldly, "In the next round, I'm going to reduce their completion rate to 0%!"

"Don't leave them even a single brick!"

On the other side, Shi Huaiyu laughed and said, "That was a beautifully played game!"

She looked at Zhang Yu: "Especially Zhang Yu, if it weren't for you disrupting their formation, our attack wouldn't have gone so smoothly!"

Zhang Yu smiled slightly and said, "On my own, I can only cause some trouble. I have to thank you for your support behind the scenes!"

Che Yufei the side, looked at Shi Yunxiang and asked, "How are you?"

Shi Yunxiang looked at the once brand-new Hand Skeleton with some heartache, now covered in pitted and bruised scars!

Shi Yunxiang: "That guy Yang Yan, he's targeting me, a Hand Skeleton, on purpose, isn't he?"

Che Yufei sighed, "It was intentional, just to make you unable to bear it!"

"That's why I never participated in competitions when I was in lower grades; it was a waste of money and I couldn't win any prizes!"

Xiao Qingxuan interrupted the crowd and asked, "The next battle will be against Ma Xuan's offensive, which won't be easy!"

Shi Huaiyu nodded. "We must keep them out of the construction site!"

"Once we get to the construction site and let them do whatever they want, we probably won't even achieve 10% completion!"

A short while later, with the break over, the second half of the battle officially began!

Ma Xuan glanced in the direction of the construction site and said calmly, "Annihilate them all!"

Relying on the superior numbers and Overall Strength of the attacking side, they wiped out the opponents one by one, and then crushed all the building materials into dust. This was the tactic that Ma Xuan decided on!

In his view, this is the safest, most convenient, and most difficult-to-turn-around tactic when one's strength surpasses that of the opponent!

"Let's run over it together!"

Moments later, clouds of mud and sand rose from both sides of the battlefield, colliding violently like two tsunamis moving in opposite directions!

Amidst the swirling mud and sand, the team members from both sides were already locked in fierce combat!

Through the shared Eye Remains of each team member, Ma Xuan clearly controlled the entire situation. He could see Zhang Yu, enveloped in a cloud of Gang Qi, rushing towards Cong Na!

You can see Xiao Qingxuan manipulating nine Dragon-Shaped Gang Qi, constantly tearing through the mud and sand, attacking him!

He could also see Shi Huaiyu launching Small Three Harmonies attack, constantly competing with him and supporting his teammates, and his final gaze was fixed on Che Yufei!

"Leaving aside Shi Yunxiang, who's still under construction, you're the weakest among these people!"

"Then let's start with you!"

Under Ma Xuan's command, Cong Na and the others began to gather Che Yufei, hoping to eliminate Che Yufei first!

Shi Huaiyu and the others reacted immediately to this!

Ma Xuan observed the other party's movements and murmured, "Does he want to support Che Yufei?"

"It's useless. With your inferior strength and numbers, continuing to send reinforcements like this will only lead to you being defeated one by one!"

But Ma Xuan quickly noticed a change in the opponent's movements and raised an eyebrow slightly, saying, "Oh? They've gone to surround and attack Cong Na?"

"Is the intention to attack where the enemy is forced to defend, thus turning the tables and taking the initiative?"

"You think that just because we repelled Che Yufei, you'll also repel Cong Na? Forcing us to come back to reinforce?"

Seeing Shi Huaiyu's arrangement, Ma Xuan sneered, calmly stirring up the mud and sand, directing his team to continue pulling the battle lines apart. As the two sides engaged in fierce fighting and attacks, and as the battle lines were constantly stretched, Ma Xuan's gaze suddenly sharpened. "This is it!"

Suddenly, he stirred up a heavy mass of mud and sand, turning it upside down like a bowl, and then activated the Finger Pointing Turns to Steel, continuously hardening and reinforcing it!

Inside the bowl that Ma Xuan turned upside down, besides Che Yufei, were Ma Xuan, Yang Yan, Bu Ziran, and Ji Su Su!

During the constant stretching of the battle lines, Ma Xuan was looking for an opportunity to temporarily divide the battlefield by using his Finger Pointing Turns to Steel, leaving the opponent isolated and helpless!

At this moment, within the barrier, he, Yang Yan, Bu Ziran, and Ji Su Su are ganging Che Yufei!

Outside the barrier, Ji Yuan Shu will lead Cong Na to retreat at high speed, giving Shi Huaiyu and the other three no chance to attack!

As for breaking through the barrier!

"Even if Shi Huaiyu and the other three go all out, it will take them at least 20 seconds to break through this barrier I'm holding up!"

"And 20 seconds!" Looking at Che Yufei in front of him, Ma Xuan thought to himself, "That's enough time for us to defeat this poor bastard countless times!"

However, Ma Xuan knew that he couldn't kill his opponent during the competition!

So Ma Xuan simply said, "Crush his hands and feet!"

At the same time, he looked at Che Yufei and said, "If you don't want to get beaten to a pulp, just surrender!"

If the other side surrenders directly, they can save some time and mana!

But faced with Ma Xuan's threat, Che Yufei simply smiled and rushed forward!

Seeing this, To Ziran snorted coldly and rushed forward first. He opened his mouth and spat out streaks of Lung Metal Sword Qi!

"A penniless wretch who's practically on his deathbed, does he even deserve to participate in the competition?"

At the same time, the other three also made their moves and attacked Che Yufei together!

But the next moment, with a collision of Sword Qi and Gang Qi, Bu Ziran felt a strange sense of familiarity coming from the opponent's Gang Qi!

It's you.

Under the onslaught of the crowd, Che Yufei's body was twisted and deformed by the immense pressure, revealing Zhang Yu's face!

Zhang Yu looked at the four people in front of him and said calmly, "You think we can't see through your obvious manipulation?"

Ma Xuan frowned, thinking to himself, "Did Shi Huaiyu deliberately bring up Che Yufei's position and intentionally create the current situation after knowing my target?"

"They must have used mud and sand to conceal Zhang Yu and Che Yufei's figures, allowing Zhang Yu to transform into the other!"

Meanwhile, just as the barrier rose, isolating the inside from the outside, "Zhang Yu" standing outside saw the Formless Cloud Gang that enveloped him suddenly collapse, revealing Che Yufei's appearance!

As for the rankings and Foundation Establishment Domain above their heads, both sides had shut them down before the battle even began in order to conceal their presence during the fight! Having finished his thoughts, Ma Xuan looked at Zhang Yu in front of him, and a series of ideas flashed through his mind like lightning!

"During the first half, I had to maintain Small Three Harmonies from a distance, making it difficult to unleash my full power against Zhang Yu who was close by!"

"But now, by controlling the ground beneath my feet with the Small Three Harmonies, I can maintain the barrier while attacking Zhang Yu without any hesitation!"

"And Zhang Yu is far from being at his peak right now. With the limited rest time, how much of the mana he expended in the first half and how much of his damaged body has he recovered?"

"So, should we make the best of a bad situation and take advantage of this opportunity to go all out and see if we can beat Zhang Yu to a pulp?"
