Different from Chen Yu's defense with broad openings and strong bridges and hard horses, the defense area in charge of Zhou Yuxuan relies on a section of half-collapsed factory buildings and intricate ruins, and the terrain is much more complex.

He fought almost silently.

A pair of specially made short knives were in his hands, like poisonous snakes' swords.

He did not stand in the most conspicuous position, but wandered between the shadows and broken walls.

The azure source energy condensed into flying needles as thin as cow hair or blades as thin as cicada wings at his fingertips.

A "Burrowing Worm" suddenly emerged from the ground, opened its huge mouth full of sharp teeth, and bit into a soldier who was concentrating on shooting.

The soldier didn't even have time to react.

"Whoosh!"

An almost invisible light blue thin line flashed past and accurately shot into the depths of "Burrowing Worm"'s wide-open mouthparts.

The giant mouth froze less than ten centimeters away from the soldier's calf, and then hung softly.

The soldier turned around in shock, only to see the figure of Zhou Yuxuan disappear behind the broken wall in the distance, as if he had never appeared before.

Zhou Yuxuan's eyes were always calm. While he was commanding his teammates through the battlefield communicator, he was like the most efficient hunter, calculating the consumption and return of every source energy.

He rarely fights head-on with Abyssal Beast. Instead, he uses terrain and precise attacks to delay, weaken, or even silently eliminate those individuals that pose the greatest threat to the defense line.

Sometimes, he would even deliberately let go of one or two low-level Abyssal Beasts and let them rush into the fire network at the rear, in order to test and mobilize the reactions of his teammates, as if he was constantly fine-tuning his tactical strategies in the virtual space.

When a Source Energy Unit "Blade Mantis" with about 3000 points broke through the fire network at extremely high speed and rushed towards a weak point of defense, Zhou Yuxuan did not try to intercept it head-on.

He raised his hand and shot three Flying Shuttle, not attacking the hard shell of Blade Mantis, but shooting at different positions on the ground in front of it.

"Puff puff puff!"

Flying Shuttle exploded, forming three pits.

The "Knife Mantis" charging at high speed was caught off guard and stepped into the air. His body instantly lost his balance and rolled to the ground in a panic.

The other source warriors and heavy firepower weapons that had been prepared immediately focused their fire and drowned it instantly.

On the flanks of the frontal battlefield where the pressure on the defense line is greatest, Zhao Gang stands like Rock.

He was holding a heavy tower shield, and each strike was accompanied by a dull loud noise, smashing the charging Abyssal Beast into pieces along with their charging momentum.

Zhao Gang's fighting style is still fierce, with energy surging when the war hammer is swung, full of a sense of power.

But upon closer inspection, you can see the difference.

Nowadays, although every heavy attack of Zhao Gang is still powerful and heavy, in the gap between attacks, the tower shield will stand steadily in front of him, protecting himself and the small area behind him.

His breathing was heavy but carried a unique rhythm, as if he was deliberately adjusting the flow of source energy.

When an elite "One-Horned Abyss Rhino" lowered its head and slammed into his tower shield with its horns, Zhao Gang did not choose to hard top, but tilted the shield slightly, guiding the huge impact force to slide away from the side. At the same time, the war hammer hit "One-Horned Abyss Rhino"'s flank exposed by the charge.

"Boom!"

With a muffled sound, "One-Horned Abyss Rhino" howled miserably and was thrown away, while Zhao Gang only swayed, and the energy consumption was much smaller than if it were a head-on collision.

"Hey, I've been killed by this move twice in the virtual space. How could I not guard against this move?"

He grinned, showing his white teeth, but his eyes were more focused than ever.

The lessons of countless collapses from exhaustion in Endless Mode made him very clear about the importance of the word "persistence".

On the other side, as a leader among foreign students, Adams's figure is like a strong wind on the battlefield.

His rapier turned into streaks of silver flash, moving through the Abyssal Beast group.

Adams's style is now a bit more pragmatic in its elegance.

He uses his high mobility to continuously support various crisis points. He will actively attract the attention of the powerful elite Abyssal Beast and lead him into the fire coverage of his teammates. Or when his teammates are besieged, he will launch a surprise attack from an unexpected angle to disrupt Abyssal Beast's formation.

When a student in the special training class faced a "Blade Giant Ant" with a Source Energy Unit with a high 4800 points, he accidentally made a move and was easily torn apart by the sharp forelimbs of "Blade Giant Ant". He was about to be disemboweled.

"Whoops!"

A tiny black ray of light spanned the space and passed by.

The movement of the fierce Blade Giant Ant suddenly froze, and immediately starting from the part hit by the black light, the entire body was erased as if by an eraser, silently decomposing and vaporizing, leaving only a wisp of black smoke that quickly dispersed and the White Crystal that fell to the ground.

Lin Yi hangs high in the air, overlooking the entire battlefield.

His soul is like an invisible net, covering the entire battlefield, and every student's performance is clearly reflected in his heart.

Chen Yu learned command and rhythm control from being reckless, Zhou Yuxuan utilized precision and terrain to the extreme, and Zhao Gang understood that power requires persistence. Every detail, every progress, is clearly reflected in his heart.

Who is bravely advancing, who is decisive in command, who can remain calm in a crisis, and who has exposed his shortcomings are all the basis for him to select the members of Training Corps.

While observing, whenever a student encounters a Stardust level Abyssal Beast that cannot be resisted, or the defense line is about to be torn apart by a powerful Abyssal Beast, the black lightning representing absolute destruction will arrive as scheduled, erasing the threat accurately without missing a beat.

"Medium Nest reinforcements have entered the battlefield, please pay attention to all units!"

Not long after, Nie Chang's solemn voice sounded on the channel.

A group of elite Abyssal Beast whose pressure far exceeds that of ordinary Stardust level, accompanied by a huge number of low-level Abyssal Beast, swarmed in from the direction of Medium Nest.

Among them, there are many powerful ones with Source Energy Unit exceeding 30,000 points and even close to 50,000 points. Among them, Leader level has 54,900 points.

Those Stardust level students all felt the huge threats in the distance. Likewise, they knew in their hearts that once these high-level Abyssal Beast approached, the defense line would be instantly destroyed.

However, no one was worried about this.

At the same time, Lin Yi also set its sights on those Abyssal Beast whose Source Energy Unit exceeded 10,000 points.

Immediately, his mind moved slightly, and the Myriad Forms Sphere that was originally missing three or four diamond-shaped pieces instantly decomposed. As the black thin lines flashed by, those high Source Energy Unit Abyssal Beast were silently annihilated at the same time.

However, he deliberately left some Source Energy Unit Stardust level Abyssal Beast below 10,000 points.

Because those Source Energy Units with over 10,000 Abyssal Beasts are currently something that students cannot contend with.

As for those Abyssal Beasts whose scores were below 10,000 points, which were enough to pose a fatal threat but had a slight possibility of victory, he left them to the New Stars on the battlefield.

After all, it is possible to kill Abyssal Beast of this level, whether through group cooperation or an individual's desperate situation.

These are the real tests prepared for students, especially for outstanding people like Liu Yuan.
