With so many throwing knives, she had absolutely no chance to escape.
She pursed her lips, a dark glint flashing in her eyes.
Then we'll just have to tough it out.
Xu Jintang spread his legs apart, clenched his fists, and the Power of Dragon Blood within his body rapidly spread throughout his entire being.
As the flying knife struck, the burning Power of Dragon Blood reached its peak.
"Break!" Xu Jintang gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his arms, and stomped his feet firmly on the ground.
The energy wave formed by the Power of Dragon Blood surged outwards, instantly deflecting many flying knives.
But then, more throwing knives came flying in.
The energy waves of the Power of Dragon Blood gradually weakened and were faintly suppressed by the flying knife.
Xu Jintang bit her lip, and because she bit too hard, blood gradually seeped from the corner of her lips, and her face turned pale due to the great exhaustion of her physical strength.
"Oh no, is she about to give up? Should we call a halt?"
"Don't let yourself get eliminated."
" Fang Kexin is really a pervert."
Fatty Fang saw this, the corner of his mouth twitched again.
When he first met Fang Kexin, he only thought she was a cute and adorable girl.
Later, after a friendly sparring session, Fang Kexin suddenly turned into a knife-throwing maniac, almost slicing his head off.
After that incident, Fatty Fang developed a rather deep trauma regarding this cute girl.
"Whoosh--"
The edge of the throwing knife grazed Xu Jintang's cheek, leaving a bloody mark.
More and more throwing knives pierced through Xu Jintang's protective shield and stabbed directly at her body.
Seeing this, Fang Kexin hesitated for a moment, wondering whether to stop.
But then, a sudden change occurred.
A deep blue light burst forth from Xu Jintang's body, concealing a faint dragon shadow, and suddenly pounced on the flying knives around him.
A chill descended, and the surrounding air instantly turned cold.
The throwing knife, which was rushing forward, seemed to be blocked by something, and suddenly stopped for a moment, then was frozen in place.
A terrifying cold wave suddenly erupted, freezing all the remaining throwing knives in place.
Under the light, the countless flying knives in the air turned into ice sculptures, shimmering with a cold light, before falling to the ground with a crisp sound.
After feeling the immense energy surging within his body, Xu Jintang realized something.
Brother Long not only modified her blood, but also transformed her spine into a dragon bone.
This power originates from the keel.
She pursed her lips, clenched her fists, and suddenly charged at Fang Kexin.
Fang Kexin, who was waiting to win the match, didn't even have time to react before Xu Jintang rushed in front of her and punched her, pinning Fang Kexin to the ground.
Fang Kexin was caught completely off guard.
"How is that possible?" she asked incredulously.
Upon entering the simulated battlefield, everyone's superpowers were sealed and rendered unusable.
How could Xu Jintang possibly resort to such methods?
The teammate beside him snapped out of his daze and quickly announced, "The defending champion wins this match."
The outcome of the duel was decided. Xu Jintang released her, stood up again, and reached out to Fang Kexin up.
After standing still, Fang Kexin hesitated for a moment before finally asking, "What was that just now?"
Xu Jintang smiled and said, "It's a secret."
Fang Kexin fell silent.
Since the simulated battlefield sealed everyone's supernatural abilities, what just happened was definitely not a supernatural effect. Could it be a special effect of some kind of magical artifact?
The onlookers stared in astonishment at Xu Jintang was completely unharmed.
"Is this a special effect of a magic weapon?"
I think so.
"I thought Fang Kexin would respond in this round."
"I'm impressed. You guys are all incredibly skilled."
The burly man, who had lost the first match, also looked at Xu Jintang with a serious expression.
He thought he was the only one who possessed this special artifact, but it turned out everyone was hiding their trump cards.
Two consecutive matches completely changed everyone's perception of Xu Jintang.
When the team members hosting the challenge asked again, no one dared to take on the challenge.
Even a psychopath like Fang Kexin was quickly dealt with; the others were no match for her.
Fatty Fang was also hesitant about whether to take on the challenge.
The power that Xu Jintang suddenly unleashed just now felt quite strong.
With his strength, it seems he really might not be able to win.
"If no one challenges, then the defending champion wins," the team member asked again.
Still, no one answered.
Fatty Fang pursed his lips, and when he looked up, his face was already smiling again. "In that case, let's make Sister Jintang our team leader."
The other team leaders involved in the selection process exchanged glances, and after a few seconds, they all nodded in unison, "We have no objections."
Although the group could use a series of attacks to wear down Xu Jintang's physical and mental strength before challenging him again.
But that would be an unfair victory.
Moreover, even if they win, their strength is indeed inferior to their opponents.
Nobody wants a victory won that way.
So after Fatty Fang spoke, everyone went along with it.
The brief title defense has ended.
Before long, news of the owners of the wooden houses uniting together spread.
"I heard that those who have already occupied the cabins have joined forces, so there's even less chance we'll survive now."
"It's alright, if they team up, we'll team up too. There's only so much space in the cabin, and our group is definitely bigger. It's hard to say who'll win in a fight."
"But... even if we join forces, we might not necessarily be united."
The trainees scattered throughout the simulated battlefield all heard about this.
Having just escaped danger, Wang Qian returned alone to the cave where she had stayed the previous night to warm up.
The temperature outside is getting lower and lower.
Even spending a long time outdoors during the day can slow down blood circulation.
We need to stop and warm ourselves by the fire for a while.
Recalling her encounter with Xu Jintang just now, Wang Qian lowered her head and fell into silence.
It would be a lie to say she doesn't regret it. If she hadn't chosen to go in alone, her situation might be completely different now.
But once the arrow is released, there's no turning back.
From now on, it's up to her to rely on herself.
Wang Qian rubbed her hands together, and after feeling warmer, she got up and left the cave, intending to start looking for new teammates.
Xu Jintang and his team's joint plan inspired her.
In this test of survival, cooperation is essential, and only through cooperation can we have a chance to win.
Chapter 154
After the selection of the captain, everyone dispersed and returned to their respective territories and cabins to guard them.
The gray sky grew even lower, and just before noon, snowflakes began to fall from the horizon, quickly covering the ground with a thin layer of snow.
"Squeak--"
Xu Jintang pushed open the wooden cabin door, stepped outside, and looked up at the continuously falling snowflakes.
Lu Wei'an was following behind, suddenly said, "It feels like it's going to get colder again tonight."
"If the temperature drops further, relying solely on the wooden house and ordinary firewood for heating won't be enough," Xu Jintang replied.
"They'll probably use some special fuel for ignition," Lu Wei'an pursed his lips, then added, "But if that happens, our Cabin Alliance is very likely to experience internal strife."
The reason the Cabin Alliance can still maintain peace is largely because the members are a community of shared interests.
However, once new resources become the focus of competition, this peaceful situation will soon be shattered.
"Bite--"
"Friendly reminder: The temperature in the Extreme Cold Simulation Battlefield has dropped to minus thirteen degrees Celsius. As night falls, the temperature will continue to drop. Survivors, please take precautions to keep warm."
The broadcast suddenly blared.
Xu Jintang stretched and beckoned to Lu Wei'an, "Let's go back inside, it's too cold outside."
Lu Wei'an hummed in agreement and turned to follow.
The snow was falling heavier and heavier, and the snow on the ground was already up to people's ankles.
Survivors who couldn't find cabins could only search for caves to keep warm, but the caves were poorly insulated, and the wind kept blowing into them, so the fires they managed to start were quickly extinguished.
"Ouch... It's so cold."
Fatty Fang leaned against the wall of the wooden house, his body curled up in a ball.
Xu Jintang glanced at him. "So cold?"
"Yeah, aren't you cold?" Fatty Fang looked over in surprise.
Although everyone was inside the cabin, the cold air outside was almost penetrating the walls and seeping into the cabin.
Even though Fatty Fang has a lot of fat, he can still feel waves of cold seeping in from the outside.
Xu Jintang was taken aback.
It's probably due to Brother Long's modifications to her body and the subtle influence of his supernatural abilities that she is now basically immune to most cold currents.
She didn't continue the topic.
"The next likely battleground will be for resources like Fire Seeds and Special Fuel. Our alliance has too many teams; it's possible we won't be able to provide everyone with a set. What are your thoughts on this?"
Fang Kexin also participated in this meeting.
She fiddled with the braid hanging over her shoulder, a slight smile playing on her lips. "Or we could just leave it at that, and each team could go and grab it themselves. If they got it, they could keep it; if they didn't, they'd have to bear the consequences."
Fatty Fang offered a different opinion. "The teams that fail to secure a spot will definitely harbor resentment, and they're unlikely to offer help when other cabins are in danger."
"But if they can't get it, it just means they're not as skilled as others. Who can they blame?" Fang Kexin continued to argue.
The sounds of their argument continued to echo inside the cabin.
The other team members stood quietly to the side with their heads down, pretending not to have heard anything.
Xu Jintang raised his hand to interrupt them, "You two be quiet. Let me think of a way to solve this."
The two then calmed down, each leaning against one side and ignoring the other.
