Chapter 265
"We accept." After only two seconds of consideration, the captain of the Milky Way Military Academy nodded in agreement to cooperate.
The other team members also followed the captain's instructions. Since the captain nodded in approval, they naturally had no objections.
[Haha, as expected of Leikedasi, he's already taken in two teams of henchmen right at the start.]
[It's estimated that only the remaining three of the five major military academies joining forces would have a chance to shake Leikedasi.]
[But to be honest, it's not without its advantages that the Red Star and Milky Way Military Academy students are following Leikedasi; at least it's much harder for students from other military academies to easily eliminate them.]
"It's so hot, it's unbearably hot." Xue Zhongqi frantically waved his folding fan, but the surrounding temperature was simply too high. No matter how much he fanned himself, the heat still lingered around him and wouldn't go away.
Xu Jintang slowly raised his hand, his gaze fixed firmly ahead, before channeling his spiritual power.
The glacier instantly erupted from beneath our feet, sending up plumes of cold air that forcefully dispelled the nearby heat.
The group, who had been suffering from the high temperature, immediately felt the coolness, comfortably raised their heads, and took a deep breath of the cold air.
"Comfortable." Song Tianqi lay on the desert with a look of enjoyment on his face, his arms outstretched in a stark shape.
That's right, the extreme cold has just ended, and the hot and scorching weather has followed.
Fortunately, they have Xu Jintang's Domain of Ice, so they don't have to worry about the scorching climate.
"Captain Xu, following you was definitely the right decision!" Gao Xinran was completely convinced by Xu Jintang and relaxed, lying down on the desert, enjoying the constant stream of cold air.
Chapter 265
At first, the group from the Milky Way Military Academy were a little embarrassed to be so nonchalant, but seeing how open and easygoing Gao Xinran and the others were, they gradually relaxed and began to enjoy themselves with smiles on their faces.
"Yeah, I was all prepared for a fierce battle before I came in, but I ended up enjoying myself first. It's really nice to sunbathe and have the air conditioning on at the same time."
The captain of the Milky Way Military Academy, with his hands behind his head and his eyes closed, sighed.
After using his skill, Xu Jintang withdrew his hand, brushed the dust off his sleeves, and lay down in the empty spot left by the others.
She used ice to create an igloo, which was just big enough to accommodate three teams of people to rest.
The surface of the igloo is covered with her spiritual power, which provides excellent insulation, keeping the interior cool even under the scorching sun outside.
"Captain Xu, what are our plans for the next step?" An Xinran asked, standing up.
Xu Jintang leaned against the ice wall, gazing at the scenery outside, seemingly lost in thought. "Let's wait and see."
Although she didn't understand what they were waiting for, An Xinran nodded, "Okay."
The others didn't need to worry about anything; they just needed to wait for instructions.
Compared to the peaceful situation of the three teams here, the other teams in the simulated battlefield are not so safe.
First, the Clifford Military Academy team was unexpectedly ambushed by two other teams. They thought they would suffer heavy losses, but Chu Er, who was leading the team, unleashed amazing strength at the critical moment and easily crushed the two teams.
Just when the audience thought that the two teams that had been crushed were about to be eliminated from the simulated battlefield by Chu Er, Shi Anyu led the Grande Military Academy team to attack again.
Left with no other choice, Chu Er had to lead his team to escape.
The two teams that were abandoned were either wounded or crippled, and they had no ability to resist the powerful Grande Military Academy. They could only be slaughtered at their mercy.
To the audience's surprise, Shi Anyu did the same thing as Xu Jintang: instead of eliminating them, he took all their tokens and recruited them into his team.
This year's league is really strange; not a single team has been eliminated yet.
[Weren't they all incorporated into the government?]
[Hey, weren't Grande and Leikedasi arguing quite fiercely? How come they're doing the same thing now?]
[I suspect that the idea of recruiting other teams was something Leikedasi and Grande came up with together, but something wasn't cleared up, causing the two teams to break up, though they're still using the same strategy.]
Soon, another hour passed.
The familiar notification sound rang out again from the horizon.
"The survival zone is shrinking. Survivors, please prepare. The survival zone is shrinking. Survivors, please prepare..."
"The first round of supplies will be randomly dropped into the new survival zone in ten minutes. A flashing light will indicate when supplies are dropped. First round of supplies..."
Inside the igloo that was about to completely melt, Xu Jintang stood up and casually waved his hand.
The surrounding ice walls melted rapidly, turning into a puddle of icy water.
"Captain Xu, it's starting to shrink again. We need to get going as soon as possible." An Xinran glanced at the green barrier not far away.
The green barrier, which had been motionless just a few seconds ago, suddenly began to shrink toward them.
In a little while, it will probably shrink right in front of them.
"Let's go!" Without further ado, Xu Jintang immediately gave the hand signal and then turned around to head in the direction the green barrier was moving.
Xu Jintang and his group ran wildly, practically chasing after the green barrier.
When the green barrier stopped, the new survival zones were also redefined.
We had barely stopped when another row of red lights came on.
The red light kept flashing, and it was clearly visible for miles around.
"Supplies are being deployed. Survivors, please take note. Supplies are being distributed..."
A new notification sounded.
Xu Jintang immediately looked up, his gaze falling on the flashing red light ahead. "The supply drop-off point isn't far from us; we can still make it there in time."
Gao Xinran reacted quickly and immediately agreed, "Okay!"
The three teams quickly headed to the flashing red light.
When they were a few hundred meters away from the supply drop point, Xu Jintang's third team unexpectedly ran into the Xihe Alliance Military Academy's team.
Led by Song Ziqian Xihe Alliance Military Academy met with Xu Jintang and his group, and everyone immediately became alert.
Standing behind, Ji Nanqing stared intently at Xu Jintang, a hint of excitement flashing in her eyes.
The defeat in the Ability User Competition has become a mental obsession for her.
She understood the gap between herself and Xu Jintang, but the more she knew about the gap, the more she wanted to challenge him again.
"Captain Xu, it's been a long time." Song Ziqian greeted him with a smile.
Xu Jintang gestured to the team members behind him, signaling them to hold their positions for now.
She then stepped forward, smiling as she met Song Ziqian's gaze. "What a coincidence, Captain Song, you're here to grab supplies too?"
Song Ziqian glanced deliberately behind Xu Jintang.
The three teams of men were all neatly arranged and waiting for orders.
The situation is quite clear: these two extra teams, having reached some kind of cooperation with Leikedasi, have now become Xu Jintang's people.
Song Ziqian casually withdrew her gaze, then stepped aside to make room for them. "We were planning to try and get them, but we ran into Captain Xu, so these supplies are naturally out of our reach."
This statement both indicated that they were giving up on securing supplies and also served as a compliment to Xu Jintang.
Xu Jintang smiled slightly and said without ceremony, "Alright, thank you for your kindness Captain Song."
After saying that, Xu Jintang made a hand gesture without turning his head.
Gao Xinran quickly realized what it meant. She immediately pursed her lips, clenched her fist, and activated her spiritual power.
Song Ziqian and the other team members moved to either side.
[Huh? The two sides are actually quite peaceful?]
[I thought Xihe Alliance Military Academy would be quite firm, but they relented so quickly.]
[The scene felt too peaceful; I was a little uneasy about it.]
Just as the audience was wondering what was going on, the scene suddenly changed.
Song Ziqian, who had been all smiles, suddenly made her move just as Xu Jintang and his group were about to pass through them.
Ji Nanqing the other side also launched an attack.
The terrifying skill instantly covered Xu Jintang's three teams, giving the impression that it would wipe them out completely.
"The Vermilion Bird Descends!" Song Tianqi roared.
The phantom of the Vermilion Bird instantly appeared behind him, and the black bird burning with flames spread its wings and immediately spat out a fireball, flying towards Song Ziqian.
At the same time, Xu Jintang's Road of Frost also instantly covered him.
The straight, Road of Frost divided the battlefield into two areas, separating Ji Nanqing and her teammates who were forced to dodge attacks.
Being alone, she immediately became the target of An Xinran and her group's attacks.
The flames of war ignited instantly.
Xu Jintang's Ice Blade Storm appeared from all directions as if it were free.
The Ji Nanqing was no match for the concentrated attack of so many people and soon collapsed to the ground.
An Xinran stepped forward, bent down, and took her token.
The other team members surrounded Ji Nanqing and firmly subdued her.
Meanwhile, the battle on the other side was still ongoing.
Song Ziqian, who had intended to launch a sneak attack, was countered and struggled for a while before being suppressed by the combined forces of Xu Jintang's five men and the two teams from the Milky Way Military Academy.
Seeing that they were about to be completely defeated by Xu Jintang and his group, Song Ziqian bit her lip and immediately gestured for retreat, "Let's go!"
The other three team members exchanged glances, decisively stopped firing, and under Song Ziqian's cover fire, ran into the nearby woods.
"No need to chase them. If they try to run, you won't be able to catch them." Xu Jintang reminded them after seeing that the Milky Way Military Academy members still wanted to give chase.
Only then did the members of the Milky Way Military Academy stop.
"Captain Xu, we've caught one of their members!" Gao Xinran brought Ji Nanqing over to claim credit and ask for a reward.
Ji Nanqing's hands and feet were already bound by the magical ropes.
She bit her lower lip tightly, her face full of resentment. Seeing Xu Jintang intensified her anger. "If you've got the guts, let me go and fight me one-on-one!"
Hearing this, Song Tianqi looked at her in surprise and said, "Girl, you really have guts to challenge our class monitor to a duel."
Even someone as belligerent as him has to avoid the class monitor, yet someone is still thinking of challenging him to a one-on-one fight?
Xu Jintang twirled the token in her hand, then smiled and approached Ji Nanqing. "You must be tired after just finishing a fight. Take a rest, and we'll go get the supplies together later."
