Withdrawal

Wu Siduo was incredibly fast; her body moved like a black lightning bolt, cutting directly from five meters away to Yun Jingheng.

His hands transformed into sharp claws, and a dark blue light condensed at his fingertips into ten sharp blades of energy.

One claw aimed straight for his face, while the other blocked his escape route.

Yun Jingheng did not back down.

His First Soul Ring lit up, and three silver-white Moon Blade were unleashed. One was aimed at her left claw, one at her right claw, and the third blocked her path of advance.

Wu Siduo's claws collided with the Moon Blade, and with a clang, her left claw was knocked away, as was her right claw.

Her body was blocked by the third Moon Blade, forcing her to stop.

Then, Yun Jingheng flashed forward, and the Moonlight Sword thrust upwards, the tip piercing through her abdomen and emerging from her back.

There was no blood on the silver-white sword, the stench of blood in the virtual space was masked, but Wu Siduo felt pain.

The pain was real, sharp, like being stabbed in the body with a red-hot iron rod.

Her pupils contracted, and her mouth opened, but no sound came out.

Yun Jingheng's sword tip emerged from her back, and a silvery-white light flowed across the blade.

He looked at her, his expression calm.

"It's a virtual arena; I won't really die." He drew his sword and took a step back.

Wu Siduo's body began to dissipate, starting from her feet, turning into specks of light that spread upwards little by little.

She looked down at her dissipating body, then looked up at Yun Jingheng.

She wanted to say something, but the light had already spread to her chest.

Her mouth moved slightly, but no sound came out.

Then her head turned into specks of light, and she disappeared completely.

Yang Nianxia stopped in her tracks.

He stared at the spot where Wu Siduo had disappeared, then at Yun Jingheng, his fists clenched.

Luo Guixing pushed up his glasses, and stopped drawing circles in the air with his fingers.

Zheng Yiran straightened her head, which had been tilted, and the smile on her lips vanished completely.

Xu Yucheng pulled his hands out of his pockets and let them hang down at his sides.

The four people looked at Yun Jingheng, but none of them spoke.

Wu Siduo was eliminated, and none of them saw it clearly.

The four people looked at Yun Jingheng, but none of them spoke.

"There are 14 people left in the field. Let's reduce the size of the field."

Yun Jingheng looked at them and smiled slightly. It wasn't a provocative smile, but a smile that said, "You don't need to be nervous." It was very faint and light, like a fallen leaf drifting into the lake.

He moved, retreating quickly, his body like a beam of light, moving from the center of the open space to the edge.

His speed was astonishing, but he wasn't retreating in a straight line; he was retreating in an arc.

Four geniuses:???

Why aren't you attacking?

Yang Nianxia's heart skipped a beat when she saw Yun Jingheng smiling at them from the edge of the room.

He turned to continue fighting Tang Wulin, only to find that Tang Wulin had retreated ten meters away, arms crossed, with an expression that said, "I'm not fighting anymore."

He then looked at Xie Xie — Xie Xie was crouching behind a tree, only half of his head showing, grinning at him.

He then looked at Xu Xiaoyan — Xu Xiaoyan had somehow ended up next to Yun Jingheng and was now winking and smiling at them.

All four people withdrew.

Only one person remained in the center of the open space— Gu Yue.

Yang Nianxia's pupils contracted.

He tried to run, but it was too late.

She raised her hand and pointed to where Yang Nianxia and the other three were standing.

Elemental Storm.

The four elements of ice, fire, wind, and earth spun wildly at her fingertips, like four vortexes, before merging into a massive, spinning, and Destruction tornado.

The icicles spun rapidly in the storm, like countless sharp blades.

Fireballs exploded in the storm like miniature suns, and wind blades sliced through the storm like invisible daggers.

Spikes burst from the ground, like sharp teeth from underground.

The four elements intertwined, forming an elemental tornado with a diameter of twenty meters, which swallowed Yang Nianxia, Luo Guixing, Zheng Yiran, Xu Yucheng, and the entire area behind them.

Yang Nianxia crossed her arms in front of her, the dark gold patterns shining brightly.

But the ice spikes sliced through his skin, the fireballs scorched his clothes, and the wind blades left countless fine wounds on his body.

He gritted his teeth and didn't back down an inch, but his body swayed in the storm like a tree in a tempest.

Luo Guixing's spatial ripples rose up in front of him, blocking most of the attacks, but the power of the Elemental Storm was too great. His spatial ripples began to shatter, falling off piece by piece like glass.

Zheng Yiran's poisonous fog was blown away by the storm, and her body was cut by the wind blades, leaving several cuts on her school uniform.

She crouched down, covering her head with her hands. Poisonous mist seeped from her fingertips, but was swept away by the storm before it could spread.

No matter how fast Xu Yucheng was, he couldn't outrun the storm. His body darted left and right through the storm, but each dash was blocked by wind blades, forced back by fireballs, and struck by ice spikes.

Ten seconds.

The storm has passed.

The open space was empty. Yang Nianxia, Luo Guixing, Zheng Yiran, and Xu Yucheng had disappeared, turning into specks of light and dissipating into the air.

The ground was covered with craters from icicles, scorch marks from fireballs, trenches carved by wind blades, and cracks left by earth spikes.

The place was a complete mess.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Gu Yue, as fierce as ever!"

Xie Xie peeked out from behind the tree.

Tang Wulin scratched his head and laughed.

Gu Yue turned to look in Yun Jingheng's direction, where Yun Jingheng and Xu Xiaoyan were slowly emerging from behind the tree.

Xu Xiaoyan grabbed the former's clothes in "fear".

Yun Jingheng looked at the messy scene, his lips twitching slightly.

This ruthless person is not to be trifled with...

"There are still 5 people in the area; continue to shrink the space."

The mechanical sound fell from the sky like a bucket of cold water poured over everyone's head.

Five people? Aren't there still the five of us?

He counted on his fingers— Yun Jingheng, Gu Yue, Tang Wulin, Xu Xiaoyan, and himself.

"So, there's no one else?"

Tang Wulin also realized what was happening. He looked at Yun Jingheng, then at Gu Yue, then at Xu Xiaoyan, and then at Xie Xie.

Five people stood at the edge of a messy open space, looking at each other in bewilderment.

Yun Jingheng glanced down at the ejection device on his wrist.

A small, silvery-white disc was affixed to the skin, with a fine ring of soul-guiding circuits around its edge.

This is automatically attached when you enter the virtual arena; a simple tap will exit.

Aunt Cai said before that the last one to leave would be the class monitor, so knowing her usual behavior...

I have reason to suspect that the second-to-last and third-to-last students to leave were the vice class monitor.

So...

Whoever wants to be class monitor can be, I'm leaving.

Yun Jingheng raised his hand and slapped it on the ejection device.

With a soft "snap," a silvery-white light exploded from his wrist, spreading rapidly throughout his body like a ripple.

His body began to dissipate, starting from his feet, turning into specks of light that spread upwards little by little.

He looked at the three people opposite him, smiled slightly, and said, "You can take your time fighting for the class monitor position. I won't bother you. I'm leaving now."

Xu Xiaoyan was taken aback.

She watched Yun Jingheng's body dissipate, then looked at the exit device on her wrist, and then raised her hand to pat it.

"Snap." Her body also began to dissipate, starting from her feet, turning into specks of light.

"I'm leaving too, bye-bye." Then she disappeared.

Xie Xie was a step slower. He looked at Gu Yue and Tang Wulin and said, "You two continue, you two continue."

Tang Wulin watched the group of people disappear into deep thought.

"Gu Yue... they..."

He looked at Gu Yue and found that Gu Yue was "glowing".

Goodbye, squad leader.

Tang Wulin:...
