Battle After Battle
The Nine-Layer Thunder Domain, which is completely and Mysterious Fusion with 'speed,' caused the speed of the unicorn beasts trapped within it to plummet to less than one percent of their full speed as soon as it appeared!
Furthermore, it was subjected to indiscriminate lightning attacks.
The domain, which has been perfectly integrated with the laws, is powerful enough to severely injure these adult wildebeests with its attacks alone, and also has a strong Paralysis Profundity effect.
"Sizzle sizzle~"
In an instant, a violent current of electricity swept through the wildebeests within the area, leaving their thick scales riddled with holes under the omnipresent lightning.
"Swish swish swish!"
Upon seeing this, Jarvis, Fengling Yue, and other Spirit Reader immediately used their Spiritual Weapon to Strangulation the wildebeests that had lost their ability to resist.
The Martial Artist also brandished their weapons and joined the battle.
"Hold head high!"
"Hold head high!!!"
Seeing their companions being slaughtered, the wildebeests behind them completely lost their minds and charged fearlessly into Yang Yu's territory.
"This is a real headache." Yang Yu continued walking along the edge of the domain, constantly reaping the maddened horned beasts. After killing so many, Yang Yu had become numb.
"There's another large herd of wildebeest coming from 100 kilometers behind us. Yang Yu, you guys need to find a way to shake off these wildebeest," Babata said.
"Sigh." Yang Yu sighed softly, "I didn't expect to have to use this move so soon."
Immediately, the Thunder Domain surrounding Yang Yu suddenly released dazzling Purple Lightning, and gentle Thunder energy also appeared around Fengling Yue and the others, enveloping them.
"Disease!"
Yang Yu gave a low shout.
Suddenly, Yang Yu's speed increased dramatically, and everyone in the domain also accelerated, becoming more than ten times faster than them!
In an instant, they shook off the wildebeest herd behind them.
"What!"
The Third Imperial Princess and the others, who were leisurely watching the battle from afar, were already shocked enough when Yang Yu suddenly unleashed his domain; they never expected that Yang Yu's abilities were far more than that.
"This level of mastery is probably already at the ninth level, and it seems to contain a deeply hidden Lightning Origin Law. With such strength, he would be enough to secure a place in the top 1,000 of the Ganwu Universe Country in the Genius Competition! Where did this genius come from?"
The Third Imperial Princess was stunned into silence.
"That's outrageous!" exclaimed Naya, the guard.
They had initially thought that Yang Yu's team was surrounded by tens of thousands of wildebeests, and that it would be good if even one or two people could escape.
Unexpectedly, Yang Yu's sudden outburst turned the tide and led everyone to safety with ease.
In the Thunder Domain.
As Fengling Yue and the others felt the scenery rushing past them at breakneck speed, and watched the wildebeest chasing them further and further away, they were filled with immense shock.
Although they knew Yang Yu was very strong, stronger than they had imagined, the fact that he was this strong still made them feel like they were dreaming!
Such an astonishing domain, along with the powerful fluctuations of Lightning Law within it, meant that if Yang Yu ignored them, he could single-handedly slaughter the entire herd of wildebeests behind him.
But Yang Yu didn't do that. Instead, he used his domain technique to take them with him.
This moved them especially deeply, as they were originally slaves.
Two hours later.
After speeding for over 10,000 kilometers and completely shaking off the raging wildebeest herd behind them, Yang Yu led the group to rest by the Cui Ling Lake.
The unleashing of his domain technique, leading more than ten people in a frantic run, had consumed a significant amount of Yang Yu's Origin Force.
"You all keep watch around, I'm going to meditate and recover." After saying that, Yang Yu swallowed a Purple Source Crystal, which quickly restored his Origin Force.
An hour later, Yang Yu, having fully replenished his Origin Force, opened his eyes. "Let's continue on our way and try to reach the Dark Forest before nightfall."
"Yes, Master!" Fengling Yue and the others responded loudly. They had barely expended any energy in the battle just now, and were now in peak condition.
So the group changed direction and continued heading into the Dark Forest.
At the same time.
Another group of people participating in the assessment are flying from another direction of the Flower Language Plain towards the Dark Forest.
It looks like the two sides will meet soon.
However, this group only numbered around twenty people, and given the fighting strength of Yang Yu's squad, Babata didn't even bother to remind them.
"Brother, we've had some bad luck this time. We've ended up in the Flower Language Plain. It'll take us half a year to get to the Core Region. Those who were lucky enough to land in the Core Region or peripheral areas might have already completed half of their missions," said Garde, a young man whose battle suit bore the insignia of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire's Hundred Tiger Tower.
"Don't panic. It's normal for an assessment mission to take three to five years. Besides, we've been lucky. We found Deruzan's team not long after we fell. If we cooperate with them and are careful, it won't be difficult to reach the Core Region. We can also make a little money from those lone assessors." The man who seemed to be the leader revealed a cruel smile at the end of his sentence.
As an elite carefully cultivated by Hundred Tiger Tower, one of the four major forces in Black Dragon Mountain, his strength is quite good among the Star Level 9. With the cooperation of his teammates, ordinary examinees would indeed be in big trouble if they encountered them.
"That's right. With your strength, Brother Xien, we can make some extra money along the way." Garde looked expectant.
Although he was also an elite student of the Hundred Tiger Tower, his strength was still far behind that of squad leaders like Xien and Deruzan.
By hanging out with Xien and his group, he could plunder lone or weak teams in the assessment world and get a share of the profits.
"Alright, let's hurry and get to the Dark Forest as soon as possible. Then we can take the shortest route to the Core Region, where there are the most examinees," Xien said.
Others also agreed.
"Master, it seems like quite a few people are approaching from the left rear," Jarvis said, flying to Yang Yu's side.
"Oh? So you've finally encountered other examinees?" Yang Yu said with interest. "How many of them are there? Are they lone examinees or trained by other forces?"
"Judging from the insignia they wear, they seem to be from the Hundred Tiger Tower, and there are twenty of them."
"They're probably students from the Hundred Tiger Tower taking their assessment as well. There are quite a few of them. Let's ignore them and keep going," Yang Yu said casually, waving his hand.
If the other party is sensible enough not to provoke Yang Yu and his group, then Yang Yu will naturally not attack them without reason.
But if they thought Yang Yu and his group were easy targets who wanted to make some extra money, then they couldn't blame Yang Yu for killing them.
"Yes, Master." Jarvis flew back to the rear of the group and continued to keep watch on the surroundings with another companion.
"Hey, boss, there's trouble ahead!" Garde exclaimed. "There are some unlucky guys who've also landed on Flower Language Plain, thirteen of them in total."
"Thirteen? Are they from other forces?" Xien asked.
"Let me take another look." Garde zoomed in on the detector on his arm, which showed Yang Yu and the others dozens of kilometers away.
The detectors equipped on their team were of a very basic type, capable of detecting only a general area within a radius of 100 kilometers. They could not assess the strength of their opponents, nor could they detect underground structures.
However, it can still be used for simple alerting and observation.
"Big brother, they seem to be just an ordinary squad. They don't have any other faction's insignia or symbols on them. As for their strength, we'll have to get closer and use our Optical Brain to detect it."
"Since it's not from any other faction, let's go check it out first. If it's a good fit, we can all make some extra money." Xien said cruelly, his face contorted with malice.
As core students carefully cultivated by Hundred Tiger Tower, their teamwork is extremely strong. Even if dozens of ordinary rogue cultivators at the Star Level 9 came, they would not be a match for them.
This is also the source of their confidence.
"Hehe, we'll listen to our big brother," Garde and the other underlings said excitedly.
Even Deruzan, the captain of the other squad, agreed.
In the few days since they arrived in the Shilan World, they have done this kind of thing more than once.
Having reached a consensus, the group grinned maliciously and flew towards Yang Yu and the others.
The distance of tens of kilometers was covered in just a few minutes by traveling at full speed at the Star Level 9, bringing them to within a few hundred meters of Yang Yu and his group.
"Big brother, they're all Star Level 9, and they seem to be using pretty good weapons and equipment," Garde, the younger brother, said with a smile.
Those who don't come from powerful families and use decent weapons and equipment are undoubtedly the best targets for exploitation in their eyes.
"Haha, the weapon you're using seems pretty good." Xien laughed and flew forward.
"Greetings, friends ahead. I am Xien, and we are elite students from the Hundred Tiger Tower. You only need to pay a hiring fee of 100 million Black Dragon Dollar, and our two teams will guarantee your safe passage through the Dark Forest ahead."
The Hundred Tiger Tower students behind Xien also appeared harmless at this moment.
But if Yang Yu and Yang Yu team agree, it means that their strength is only average. In that case, what they want is not just 100 million Black Dragon Dollar.
"Hiring fee?" Seeing the hostile group approaching from behind, Yang Yu gestured for Jarvis and the others to stop, then flew over and asked Xien and the others, "You want a hundred million from me with just these two small teams?"
"Yes, it's 100 million for the job! How about this, if you think that's too much, I'll give you a 20% discount. You can hire us as bodyguards for 80 million Black Dragon Dollar. That's an absolute steal."
Xien laughed loudly.
"Then I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you, I don't have any Black Dragon Dollar," Yang Yu said with a smile.
"No Black Dragon Dollar? My friend, are you kidding us?" Xien frowned slightly. They can afford such good weapons and equipment, and yet they say they don't have Black Dragon Dollar?
"I don't have any Black Dragon Dollar, but I do have Ganwu Dollar. Do you want them?" Yang Yu said jokingly.
"Haha, this friend is really joking. Ganwu Dollar is great! We're going to Ganwu Dollar! If you don't pay, my friends, you'll have a hard time getting out of here; it's very dangerous."
Xien's face immediately lit up with a smile; it seemed he had truly found a juicy target this time.
However, the threat was unmistakable beneath the surface.
If someone can afford to use Ganwu Dollar, and isn't affiliated with Ganwu Dojo, North Dragon City, or other powerful factions, then they are undoubtedly easy prey.
Perhaps they are scions of wealthy families who have gone out for trials; they have encountered similar situations before.
Without exception, the money in the pockets of these fat sheep ended up in their hands.
This time is no exception!
Xien is very confident.
Although they are nominally elite students trained by Hundred Tiger Tower, each batch of such students consists of tens of thousands. If even one of these tens of thousands can become a Universe Level student, then it will be a profit for Hundred Tiger Tower.
With so many people, it's easy to imagine how few resources each person can get, so naturally their situation won't be very good.
After finishing speaking, Xien looked at Yang Yu and the others, and at the same time signaled the other teammates to surround Yang Yu and the others.
"Prepare to attack!" Yang Yu commanded his subordinates in his mind.
"Your name is Xien, right?" Yang Yu realized that these guys were just planning to rob him outright, only using "hiring fee" as a nicer excuse. "Unfortunately, Flower Language Plain will be your burial ground."
"Kill!"
Yang Yu roared, and Thunder Domain suddenly appeared. The Thunder Blade instantly transformed into Blade Diagram and charged towards Xien, who was hundreds of meters away.
"How dare you attack first!" Xien was initially furious, but then he saw the bright Purple Lightning flashing around Yang Yu's body and was immediately terrified.
Star Level domain expert!
At that moment, Xien wished he had more legs.
The others reacted similarly to Xien.
Those who came from the Hundred Tiger Tower naturally recognized the domain, and knowing that the Star Level meant they understood what the domain represented.
Pity.
They chose a path of no return.
"Boom!"
"Click!"
The blade array, transformed into lightning, swept past Xien with a deafening roar, effortlessly slicing through his expensive Tier 2 Force Battle Suit. His head then exploded like a watermelon.
He died instantly, beyond any hope of survival.
"Ah, run!" Garde finally snapped out of his reverie. "Someone actually dared to attack the elites of their Hundred Tiger Tower first!"
"And he so easily killed their strongest member, Xien!"
At that moment, Garde suddenly regretted that he had spotted Yang Yu and the others with his sharp eyes.
But there's no going back.
Upon receiving the order to attack, Jarvis and the others drew their weapons and charged towards the Hundred Tiger Tower elites who surrounded them.
Jarvis, Fengling Yue, and the others already possessed Combat Power comparable to these so-called elite students. After obtaining the Liulan Star Secret Manual, the Yunmo Planet Martial Artist Manual, and upgrading their equipment, their strength improved even further.
Now, in a one-on-one situation...
Jarvis's Mental Force throwing knife instantly pierced Garde's eye, and with a gentle twist, Garde died instantly.
Fengling Yin was even more decisive. She activated her Wind Domain, transforming into a wind spirit, wielding a sharp War Blade, and swiftly reaping the lives of one elite student after another from the Hundred Tiger Tower.
The remaining Fengling Yue and Doris were no pushovers either, and they unleashed their ultimate moves.
The battle was completely one-sided.
In just a few breaths, the two squads, consisting of twenty elite students from the Hundred Tiger Tower, were all slaughtered.
The only one who put up a relatively long resistance was Deruzan, the captain of another squad, but he was only able to fight Fengling Yin for two breaths before being cut down.
Seeing his men act decisively, Yang Yu nodded in satisfaction.
"Good job. Next time you encounter someone with ill intentions who comes up demanding fees, just take action."
"Yes, Master!" Jarvis and the others were extremely excited after carefully testing their Combat Power with these Hundred Tiger Tower.
"Clean up the battlefield and give all the spoils to Fengling Yue for now," Yang Yu said with a smile.
"No problem, Master." Jarvis and the others smiled and began cleaning up the battlefield.
Yang Yu simply watched from the sidelines.
Star Level student who can't even afford decent weapons naturally wouldn't have anything of value.
Sure enough, after searching around, the most valuable item was the Tier 2 top-grade Force Battle Suit worn by Xien; the rest of the weapons were quite ordinary. Even the weapons Yang Yu equipped for his most average-strength subordinates were better than that.
"Is everything cleaned up?" Yang Yu asked, noticing that everyone had basically searched the place.
"Yes, Master, everything has been cleaned up," Fengling Yue replied.
