"You think this is over?"
The moment the words fell, a surge of undead aura suddenly descended from the dark clouds that had been coiling in the sky for so long.
Wherever that aura passed, the air filled with a sinister chill.
When it touched the dry bones on the ground, the Three-eyed Underworld General, which had already been torn to pieces, began to reassemble itself unstoppably.
The light source that had once radiated dazzling brilliance was swallowed mercilessly by the dark clouds at the very same moment.
The Three-eyed Underworld General descended once more in perfect form!
By now, Bai Cangfeng was long since utterly exhausted. He did not even have the strength to raise a hand, let alone stop any of this from happening.
"Just an Undead Mage. Just an Undead Mage!"
Bai Cangfeng's eyes were bloodshot, a vicious glare burning in them. The hatred in his heart was like a volcano on the verge of eruption, almost blasting his chest apart.
Just then, Jiang Yuan easily tore open the Light Blessing shield trapping him.
He strolled over to Bai Cangfeng's side as if taking a leisurely walk.
Behind him, the Three-eyed Underworld General stood silently, the marks previously left by the searing light already gone without a trace.
The Three-eyed Underworld General's powerful aura was like an invisible mountain, pressing down until Bai Cangfeng's spine bent. His knees went weak, and he dropped to the ground against his will.
Jiang Yuan looked down at Bai Cangfeng from above.
No one had ever dared humiliate him like this before!
Even all the disciples of Modu's four great clans would never dare offend him like this to his face!!
Bai Cangfeng burned with rage and used every ounce of strength he had to try to stand again, but that overwhelming pressure made it impossible for him to rise.
To be honest, Jiang Yuan had not expected Bai Cangfeng to be so stubborn.
If he had called out his surrender early like Luo Song, he would at least have kept a shred of dignity.
Now, kneeling under the eyes of several thousand people, he had completely disgraced the Bai Family.
But it was fine if he refused to concede. This was the perfect chance to leave him with a memory he would never forget for the rest of his life.
"Just an Undead Mage," Bai Cangfeng was still muttering the same words.
But the instant his gaze met Jiang Yuan's, he plunged into an endless abyss of darkness.
Immediately after, a godlike, towering figure appeared in the sky above the abyss, boundless and limitless.
With just one glance, Bai Cangfeng sank completely into the darkness.
"Throw him down," Jiang Yuan ordered the Three-eyed Underworld General calmly.
An intense and drawn-out match had finally ended.
Next, it was Zhuang Lifeng and Mu Nujiao's turn to go onstage.
The two of them wore grave expressions, a trace of tension and unease showing in their eyes.
The power of the undead had far exceeded their expectations.
They had originally thought that after the successive attacks from Bai Cangfeng and the other four, the Three-eyed Underworld General would at least be heavily injured.
But!
Just a single surge of undead aura falling from the dark clouds had restored it to its original state!!!
They raised their heads and looked at the pitch-black sky, where countless streams of undead aura shuttled overhead.
How were they supposed to fight this??
"Future elite mages of Pearl Institute, I will be setting a new schedule for today's Beast Taming Competition."
Just then, Dean Xiao's voice suddenly rang out. Though it was not loud, it spread clearly throughout the entire venue.
Everyone's gazes immediately focused over there.
Dean Xiao smiled faintly and said, "Student Jiang Yuan's undead surpass all of you by far. I need to increase your chances of winning."
"The new format is called the King of the Hill Match, and Jiang Yuan will serve as the champion. Each team taking part in the challenge will have its number increased to ten."
"If you can successfully defend the hill, Jiang Yuan, I will personally reward you with a top-grade Spirit Seed, or an item of equal value. At the same time, you will be granted the title of Rookie King of Pearl Institute, along with the opportunity to enter the Three-step Tower and meditate for three days!"
The moment these words came out, the whole venue was in an uproar.
When the older students who had come to watch heard that Dean Xiao was actually offering a chance to enter the Three-step Tower, every one of them grew so excited they nearly went mad.
That was the Three-step Tower!
A sacred ground only elite students of the Main Campus were qualified to enter!
Even for elite students, entering the Three-step Tower was as difficult as climbing to heaven. Who knew how many people had fought tooth and nail for that opportunity?
At that moment, their hearts were filled with envy, and they wished they were the ones standing on the stage right now.
With the older students' explanations, the new students quickly understood what the Three-step Tower meant as well.
The atmosphere instantly boiled over, and everyone was eager to give it a try.
However, Dean Xiao had not finished explaining the rules he had set.
"The condition for successfully defending the ring is to defeat one hundred teams. Of course, if the defense fails, this reward will be divided equally among the team that succeeds in the challenge, and each of them will receive the honorary title of Pearl New Star, as well as one day's opportunity to cultivate in the Three-step Tower!"
"So, student Jiang Yuan, do you choose to become the ring defender, or do you choose the target of two hundred people from before?"
Dean Xiao had clearly noticed something unusual.
That was why he had created such an unprecedented ring battle.
There had never been such a precedent in the past, not to mention that the rewards this time were so generous they were practically without precedent.
The top-grade supreme Spirit Seed went without saying. It was an Elemental Seed countless people dreamed of, worth nearly tens of millions.
More importantly, there was the chance to enter the Three-step Tower. That was treatment only the elite among elites could enjoy.
Dean Xiao had already put it that way.
How could he refuse?
Jiang Yuan knew he had no other choice, so he nodded firmly.
"I choose to become the ring defender!"
According to Dean Xiao's rules, all the teams underwent a reorganization and restructuring, with each team's number changing from five to ten people.
Among them, the team Zhuang Lifeng and Mu Nujiao were on had five Intermediate mages and five Beginner level mages with full cultivation.
Although their actual combat experience was relatively lacking, such a lineup still absolutely could not be underestimated.
What Jiang Yuan had to face next was the challenge of one hundred teams, as many as a thousand people!
How many freshmen were there in the entire Green Campus to begin with?
However, when it came time to decide the order of appearance, huge disagreements arose among the teams.
Under this kind of challenge format, the later a team went on, the higher its chances of victory.
No team was willing to go out early as cannon fodder and pave the way for the teams behind them.
With no other choice, the disciples from great clans began promising all sorts of benefits, trying to use profit to drive the commoner freshmen to go first.
In truth, for disciples of great clans, the academy's rewards were secondary. What they valued more was that honor.
If they could win honor for their clan, then after returning to the clan, their say within the family would increase, and they would receive even greater attention.
The ring battle finally began.
Right now, every team's tactic was to first pin down the Three-eyed Underworld General, then directly attack Jiang Yuan's main body.
However, the first eighty-plus teams were all unable to break through the Three-eyed Underworld General's defensive line.
It was not until the eighty-seventh team took the stage that a freshman who had hope of breaking through the line finally appeared among them.
He was a Wind element mage who had mastered Intermediate magic.
When he released his magic, green light symbolizing the wind element swirled around him, and the corners of his clothes fluttered in the wind.
The Wind element mage was brimming with confidence. He believed that even Bai Cangfeng's Wind element magic was a few steps inferior to his own, and he had absolute confidence that he could deal with Jiang Yuan at the first opportunity.
But when he was only ten meters away from Jiang Yuan—
"Whoosh~~~!!"
A sharp sound of something tearing through the air rang out. A cleaver flew past almost grazing his cheek, then buried itself deep into the ground ahead.
Immediately after, the Three-eyed Underworld General descended from the sky like a demon god!
He subconsciously touched his slightly stinging cheek, his face filled with disbelief.
"No way!"
"This is Chow! It's definitely Chow!!"
His teammates were also completely stunned.
Just now, they had seen with their own eyes the Three-eyed Underworld General throw the huge cleaver in his hand, then leap up, jumping a full ten meters high and instantly leaving his original position.
In the previous battles, the Three-eyed Underworld General had never displayed such terrifying strength!
Even the audience was left dumbstruck.
Anyone even slightly clever immediately realized a terrifying fact: the Three-eyed Underworld General had not used his full strength at all!
How could a Great Warrior-level undead be that simple?!
Please don't stockpile chapters, everyone. If there aren't enough follow-up reads, this book is going to die a violent death!
Right now, this book doesn't have a single recommendation. It needs more follow-up reads before it can get recommendations. If this continues, it really is going to become a super flop.
I'm begging you!!
