Chapter 96

Just like with smart devices, when you focus your gaze on the text, you immediately receive a detailed description of the effects.

[Speed increased by 20% for 30 seconds. Effects of the same type cannot be stacked.]

"Understood, enhance the buff in the arena."

Wen Jing couldn't help but recall, "If he had used that speed-up effect just now... well, I could still have caught up."

In general, acquiring resource packs should be somewhat useful at the same level, but it becomes useless if there is a significant difference in combat strength.

Moreover, the effect is only temporary and cannot be stacked with similar products, which imposes many limitations.

This makes sense, though. Resources mainly serve to speed up the game and increase unpredictability. It's obvious that getting resource points won't magically transform a player.

In addition, resource packs will only drop when a player is killed, unless the holder actively transfers them.

Wen Jing walked back a distance with his spoils, only to be met by seven students from Ocher Soil who had been chasing after him.

"Wen Jing!"

Yu Yang and Kevin walked in front and waved to her, followed by the remaining five students from the Ocher Soil area.

Thank you.

The two people who were rescued by Wen Jing from the Azure Jade students looked relieved and frightened as they thanked Wen Jing.

One of the girls, in particular, looked somewhat complicated and embarrassed.

Because, speaking of their connection, she was Tan Wenshan's cousin during the grade ranking competition, and was the leader of the "Second Anti-Jing Alliance" at the time.

In the Freshman League, Red Earth Academy basically adopted a defensive strategy, avoiding strong opponents from the other two academies.

All the first-year students in Ocher Soil shared a consensus that Wen Jing would achieve even better results in this league than in previous years.

But the people who were rescued never expected that she, who had mercilessly beaten everyone in the grade ranking competition at the academy, would be so friendly outside the academy and would even be willing to help them.

Wen Jing wouldn't lose anything by not saving them; with her strength, she could compete for resources or do other things.

The group was still experiencing a mix of emotions when Wen Jing say:

"Do you want to come with me?"

*

Because they are used to being at the bottom every year, the students of the Red Earth Academy will at most scatter and run away when they encounter strong opponents, and they will compete with each other when only Ocher Soil students are present.

After all, in this arena, everyone is essentially an opponent.

Of the three schools, Azure Jade is the most united Mystic Radiance is arrogant and has few members, with one person forming an army. Ocher Soil students, as the background in the Freshman League, are basically a disorganized mess.

However, in this year's competition, one person seems to want to change all of this.

"Is this a collaboration between people from our school? Interesting."

"What's the use? Even if we unite, the rest of the members from the Red Earth Academy are too weak."

"She clearly has more advantages when she goes it alone!"

The spectators watching Wen Jing's competition from the sidelines naturally saw her intention to join forces with other students from Ocher Soil, but they were not optimistic about it.

On the track, which is over 200 kilometers in diameter, all sorts of events are happening every moment, and students are being eliminated every minute.

Even those viewers who pay attention to Wen Jing are only a small fraction of the total audience.

Those top-ranked Mystic Radiance on the leaderboard, those with a Azure Jade score of 59%, are the focus of everyone's attention.

Of course, the player who is currently receiving the most attention from casual viewers in the entire league is Luosi, the only A-level potential Awakened in this season.

He was floating in the air, his golden hair shining brightly, and he was enveloped in a holy light.

He didn't even need to look at it; everything in the area below was completely transparent to him.

This includes resource points hidden in the environment, without any energy fluctuations, which other players need to get close to a certain distance to discover.

True Sight, one of Luosi's innate abilities.

"You people of Ocher Soil are far too easy to kill..."

At the same time, in a grassland.

He was initially quite wary upon his arrival, but after discovering that none of the opponents he encountered were a Ocher Soil for him, he gradually became more confident.

In this rarest safe terrain on the map, he watched the fleeing Ocher Soil student, toying with his prey as he chased after him:

"Hey, have you seen Wen Jing? If you can go find her, I'll let you go, okay?"

He decided that even if he didn't encounter Wen Jing on the field, he would still fire that group of staff members and replace them with a new group.

The earlier part was meant to motivate him, but during the competition, he was constantly reminded to be cautious when facing Wen Jing.

It made him lose confidence day by day, even though he was already fifth in the class.

Just then, ■■■ saw the person being chased suddenly show a look of surprise.

--Did you actually run into Wen Jing?

■■■ He said it all as a joke, but deep down he knew that the chances of encountering Wen Jing in the early stages of the league were extremely slim.

Unless she doesn't compete for resources and just wanders around, and it also requires a certain amount of coincidence, there's a chance she'd run into him...

"Wen Jing?!"

The next moment, ■■■ saw the figure that had been a shadow over his mind for the past six months.

It's still that familiar hairstyle, that nonchalant smile, and that arrogant look in his eyes!

"Wen Jing!!"

With a loud shout, he completely ignored the student from the Ocher Soil he was chasing and fixed his gaze on Wen Jing not far away.

The six-month agreement will be settled today.

After a brief moment of shock, his heart surged with passion, and without a word, he strode straight towards Wen Jing.

"Boom..."

A layer of ethereal flames enveloped his body, leaving a trail of burning flames wherever he went.

■■■'s Wilderness Body is an elemental mutated lion, with its mane and tail entirely composed of flames, and its attacks are accompanied by high temperatures.

' Flame Charge, followed by Explosive Flame Claw Strike!'

As Wen Jing drew closer, ■■■ mentally planned out a combo attack.

We will avenge our past humiliation today.

For a fleeting moment, his advisor's words flashed through his mind, but he quickly internalized them and accepted them in his own way—he would give it his all and fight Wen Jing without reservation!

"Roar--!!"

Just as the two closed the distance to ten meters, a roaring lion's head phantom appeared above ■■■'s head, emitting a roar that could terrify all beasts.

At the sound of the roar, several other people some distance away paused and froze briefly.

Roar, this is a rare superpower with a certain degree of mental attack, and it is also the talent that is considered to have the most potential by ■■■.

This is his real trump card against Wen Jing!

Wen Jing, an F-rank student from the Red Earth Academy, what does he know about mental attacks?

Mental attacks are the hardest to defend against; once someone is stunned, all their subsequent attacks are guaranteed to hit.

However, just as the charge was about to hit, ■■■ suddenly saw Wen Jing, who should have been unable to move, suddenly tilt his body against his instincts, completing a dangerous yet accurate dodge.

His heart skipped a beat as his attack missed its mark.

Then, that feeling of utter helplessness from six months ago returned.

In the moment when he was frozen in place, unable to turn around, a simple yet powerful punch landed lightly on his lower back.

This is also the weakest point in his energy and power.

"Bang!"

The Fire Mane Body Protection ' talent, comparable in strength to a regular level 2 shield and possessing extremely high fire resistance, shattered like paper under Wen Jing's attack, which was only amplified five times with less than its full power.

His body, which was even taller and stronger than it had been six months ago, suddenly turned into light and vanished.

One-hit kill!

"Oh, young master, young master..."

The staff watching the entire match live were stamping their feet in frustration, repeatedly warning him to be careful when facing Wen Jing. But instead, he used all his skills at once and was taken down by a single basic attack from the opponent.

On the other side, having just returned to reality, [name omitted] blankly removed his helmet.

He didn't even have time to say his own name this time!

Chapter 96

"He's a D-rank at least, and he got instantly killed by an F-rank right away? So weak!"

Some spectators happened to witness Wen Jing's instant kill, which subjected him to another round of public humiliation.

The contestants she eliminated earlier were either among the few E-level players in Azure Jade, or they had fought several rounds, or they had been hiding for a while; at least it seemed that their reasons were understandable.

Only [unclear text], with its aggressive and all-out attack, made everyone think a great battle was about to begin, and that Wen Jing was about to unleash some powerful move. But in the end, he was defeated with a single punch, making it utterly unwatchable.

The casual viewers didn't care whether Wen Jing was a genius from Ocher Soil or not. Due to long-standing perceptions, if a Ocher Soil player killed multiple Azure Jade players in a row, no one would think that the Ocher Soil player was strong, but rather that the Azure Jade players were weak!

"Judging from his appearance, Wen Jing's basic abilities are excellent among Azure Jade students..."

Laymen watch the spectacle, experts see the details; some professional staff and Analysis are also working on it.

This seemingly effortless sale actually revealed Wen Jing's capabilities through numerous details.

Three months ago, someone specifically Analysis her performance in the ranking matches of the Ocher Soil grade. If she really struggled even against a D-level winter class student, she wouldn't have been able to break through the Trial Tower every month.

To underestimate Wen Jing, at least in terms of combat skills, is the most foolish thing to do.

Most of their advice to customers is to not try to outmaneuver their opponents, but to use an indiscriminate, overwhelming style of play.

On the battlefield, Ocher Soil, who had been rescued by Wen Jing, joined the followers.

She was like a thread, moving across the battlefield, stringing together all the students she encountered, like beads on Ocher Soil.
