Chapter 259

Fire rained down, and white smoke rose continuously.

The ice, scorched by the high temperature, melted instantly into water, which dripped onto the surface of the arena.

"Colorful Apple Bun!"

A flash of colorful light passed through Yan Yuting's palm, and then two oval-shaped breads covered with apple crumbs appeared in his hand.

"Squad leader, Sister Shiyi!" Yan Yuting called out.

The two people opposite immediately turned around.

At the same time, Yan Yuting tossed the bread in her hand to each of them.

This is the skill effect after Yan Yuting advances to the Fourth Tier.

She has kept it extremely secret; so far, no one except herself knows the specific effects of this skill.

After receiving the apple bag, Xu Jintang promptly stuffed it into his mouth.

A sweet, fruity aroma quickly spreads throughout the mouth.

Immediately afterwards, a cool sensation spread through my mind.

"Eh." Xu Jintang exclaimed in surprise.

After eating the apple bun, her mind, vision, and even her reactions became clearer.

Xu Jintang was somewhat surprised by this change and immediately began to put it into practice.

"Phoenix Feathers Fill the Sky!"

The Golden-Plumed Phoenix spread its wings and charged fiercely.

Xu Jintang had spent a lot of effort responding to this move.

But this time, for some reason, she clearly felt that the Golden-Plumed Phoenix that was pouncing was moving slower, and even Bing Rujiao's movements were slowing down.

Like a slow-motion movie, everyone around her seemed sluggish and clumsy.

As the phoenix swooped down, Xu Jintang raised his hand and concentrated his spiritual power.

The delicate, small Ice Lotus quickly took shape and then slowly floated forward.

All of this seemed perfectly logical to her.

However, the surrounding audience gasped in surprise.

"So fast. I thought Xu Jintang didn't even have time to activate his mental energy."

"No, Xu Jintang didn't have this quick reaction time before."

"It's that bread, isn't it? Yan Yuting's auxiliary ability is to produce bread with beneficial effects. Xu Jintang's amazing reaction occurred after eating the bread she gave him."

Jiang Shiyi had just finished eating an apple bun, also quickly exhibited a similarly rapid reaction speed.

The "Thunder" spell, Kong Ruzhen, had just been unleashed and its effects hadn't even reached her yet when Jiang Shiyi, as if she had anticipated it, quickly picked up the rocket launcher and activated the lock-on bombardment mode.

"Holy crap." Song Tianqi, caught off guard, froze for a moment before quickly retreating to avoid Jiang Shiyi's indiscriminate barrage of attacks.

"Here, this is for you." Yan Yuting tossed over another freshly baked apple bun.

Song Tianqi reached out and grabbed it, taking a deep breath.

The delicate aroma of apples filled my nostrils.

Before even eating, Song Tianqi felt his mind clear up for a moment, and his vision became much clearer.

Song Tianqi immediately understood what was going on, and promptly stuffed the apple bag into his mouth and began to chew frantically.

On the other side, Xue Zhongqi also got his apple bag and started eating.

Bing Rujiao frowned and reminded her teammates, "The bread they just ate likely has a strong buff effect. Let's avoid battle for now and not engage in direct confrontation. We'll wait until their buff effect wears off, then it'll be our turn to counterattack."

"Clear!"

"This feels amazing! All the enemy's movements have slowed down by half, and we can even predict where they'll go next," Song Tianqi couldn't help but exclaim.

Xue Zhongqi reacted similarly.

He held several Inscription Talisman in his hand, and having anticipated that An Yufei might flee north, he immediately flung the runes northward.

[Anticipation? Xue Zhongqi actually possesses such astonishing reaction abilities?]

[No, look at the others in Leikedasi, they all seem to have suddenly developed a very strong predictive ability, just like Xue Zhongqi.]

[It must have been the bread that Yan Yuting threw to them; that bread had a buff effect.]

[Wow. This kind of buff that can predict the enemy's movement is terrifying, but this skill must have a time limit, right?]

With the boost from the apple bag, the combat power of Xu Jintang and his group of five increased dramatically.

Bing Rujiao and her companions dared not continue to confront the enemy head-on, and could only retreat and dodge to buy time.

"Squad leader, don't worry! The buff from this apple bag will last for five minutes!" Yan Yuting suddenly shouted.

The sound traveled through the air in all directions.

Bing Rujiao and the others naturally heard these words as well.

"Five minutes?" Kong Ruzhen's brows furrowed suddenly. "How could it possibly take that long?"

Bing Rujiao's expression wasn't very good either.

As soon as the buff appeared, they were forced into a retreat, and if this situation continued, they would not be able to withstand it no matter what.

"That Xue Zhongqi on the other side is also a bit disgusting," Qiuyue said, her face green after being tormented for half a day.

She was first entangled by Xue Zhongqi's Life Sharing, and then the other party kept using inscriptions to wear her down, and would occasionally use a strong control skill on her. Moreover, for some reason, her mental energy was being consumed several times faster.

Although he hasn't been eliminated yet, Xue Zhongqi's grueling attrition tactics are difficult for most people to withstand.

"Captain, we can't possibly hold out for five minutes!" An Yufei said, her voice tinged with panic.

Bing Rujiao's thoughts were also a bit chaotic.

From the moment they lost the 1v1, she realized that the scales of victory could no longer tip in their favor.

Even if you lose, you must fight with all your might.

The game has only been going on for less than five minutes, and the opponent has already shown this indestructible strength.

"Since things have come to this, let's give it our all one last time!" Bing Rujiao made a decisive decision.

After receiving the instruction, the other team members exchanged glances and nodded in agreement, "Yes, sir!"

Xu Jintang was still curiously experimenting with the beneficial effects of the apple bag.

At first, she thought the buff slowed down the enemy's movements, but after using it a few times, she gradually realized that it wasn't the enemy who was slower, but rather she who was faster.

From thinking to reaction to action speed, everything is at least twice as fast.

"Five minutes..." Xu Jintang muttered to himself.

This buff effect can at least double their overall combat power, and it can even last for five minutes, which is truly incredible.

but...

Xu Jintang seemed to remember something and glanced at Yan Yuting's location a couple more times.

That's what they say, but whether it can actually last five minutes depends entirely on Yan Yuting's words.

"Squad leader, I'm going!" Xue Zhongqi suddenly shouted, and a blinding light flashed from his body.

Xu Jintang snapped out of his daze and immediately turned around to follow.

Chapter 259

The moment Xue Zhongqi charged forward, a Starlight Chain, shimmering with a faint glow, extended from his body.

This time, the Starlight Chain directly targeted An Yufei.

A moment later, the chain was extended in front of her.

An Yufei had no experience, but her intuition told her something was wrong.

She immediately raised her magic wand, "Spell Number One: Rainbow White Horse!"

The familiar children's song began, and then a little white horse with a rainbow appeared above her head.

The Starlight Chain quickly wrapped around the white horse doll.

In an instant, the energy contained within the white horse doll was triggered.

An explosion was heard.

The Starlight Chain snapped with a bang.

An Yufei breathed a sigh of relief, having escaped danger for the time being, but she did not notice the danger quietly approaching from behind.

The glacier had somehow spread to most of the arena.

"Yufei!"

Qiuyue's voice came from the side.

An Yufei subconsciously turned her head, and out of the corner of her eye, she finally caught a glimpse of the glacier that had already spread behind her.

A chill ran down her spine, and she immediately retreated, preparing to dodge.

However, it was too late.

"Water Moon Mirror Sky!"

Water cascaded upwards onto the glacier like a waterfall. The immense resistance of the water flow instantly blocked the glacier.

That's Qiuyue's skill.

An Yufei realized what was happening and quickly ran towards Qiuyue's location.

In her haste, she didn't pay attention to her footing.

The shimmering Starlight Chain quietly wrapped around An Yufei's ankle.

--Absolute Star Chain.

The moment the skill effect was activated, An Yufei's forward charge froze, and her mental energy also solidified at the same time.

Qiuyue felt a sense of foreboding and immediately manipulated the water beneath her feet to sweep it towards the other side.

The water flowed upwards, converging into a water dragon that rushed towards Xu Jintang.

With the added benefit of the apple bag, Xu Jintang anticipated the water dragon's attack trajectory and dodged to the side in advance.

At that moment, Xue Zhongqi's inscription attack arrived immediately.

Qiuyue had to devote some of her energy to dealing with it.

Distracted, Qiuyue had no time to pay attention to An Yufei.

An Yufei, still trapped by Starlink, became the most eye-catching focus of the entire event.

"That's it, An Yufei is trapped in the Absolute Star Chain, she's definitely going to be eliminated."

As soon as the audience member finished speaking, Xu Jintang's Road of Frost stretched straight across his feet.

The referee, having anticipated this, immediately intervened to save An Yufei and announced, "An Yufei is out, the match continues."

Upon hearing this, Qiuyue and the others who were still on stage were visibly flustered for a moment.

Their team was already down one person, and now An Yufei's elimination is like adding insult to injury.

"The Vermilion Bird Descends!"

With a loud shout from Song Tianqi, a phantom image of a Vermilion Bird slowly appeared behind him.

The Vermilion Bird, engulfed in crimson flames, glared angrily at the Phoenix, its body covered in golden feathers.

Jiang Shiyi stood to the side carrying a rocket launcher, its muzzle glowing with a blinding red light, as terrifying energy was brewing.

"Fire! Extinguish!" Kong Ruzhen clasped his hands together, his entire spiritual power instantly converging in his palms.
