However, in Wen Jing's eyes, their strength was only at the level of a poisonous scorpion or mantis on a tree branch. No one could reach the level of the Red and White Bird, let alone the Black Snake and the Queen Ant.

Wen Jing's sword flashed like lightning; he could take down an elite student from the spring semester in just one or two moves.

The fluidity and ease with which he played were so captivating that even his opponents couldn't help but find it a pleasure to watch.

Each move, when broken down, could serve as a textbook for combat techniques.

[What kind of combat power is this?]

Is she really an F-rank?

The older students watching the live stream were terrified, feeling that they wouldn't have fared much better if they were in that situation.

Having never seen Wen Jing fight against someone of the same grade before, I truly understand the significance of breaking the Trial Tower record at this moment.

Some people previously said that the first alliance failed because they were not united and a civil war broke out, which led to their failure to defeat Wen Jing.

But now they realize that even without the civil war, the outcome of the first siege would be no different if the remaining people on the field united to besiege Wen Jing.

Moreover, some of the bodyguards involved in the attack had more Integral than their bosses.

With each attacker eliminated, Wen Jing's ranking jumped up.

In just over ten minutes, he had already broken into the top ten of the competition.

This level of efficiency would have been impossible before she manually reduced the size of the circle.

"Withdraw!"

We can't beat them, we simply can't beat them.

Seeing that their encirclement and attack had backfired, leaving them with no one to fight back.

The alliance leader gritted his teeth and gave the order to retreat.

The second alliance disbanded again, but this time it wasn't due to a lack of fighting spirit; rather, it was because they mistakenly believed that Wen Jing was an opponent they could defeat through siege.

In this situation, avoiding confrontation and securing points is the only way out.

After the alliance was broken up, the remaining hundred-plus people instinctively dodged outside the circle drawn by Wen Jing, just like before.

"The next shrinking zone is in about ten minutes. We'll figure out how to deal with it when we get back..."

When the leader called for a full retreat, this was his thought.

Looking at that familiar ravine, everyone felt a strange sense of security.

You're safe once you cross the line!

However, the next moment, they discovered that Wen Jing did not stay within the circle this time, but instead crossed the line she had drawn.

"How did you go around the circle?!"

Wen Jing pursued them across the line, catching the closest individuals completely off guard; they were instantly eliminated in a flash.

Those who witnessed this scene were both shocked and furious, feeling as if the sky had fallen.

"You, you, you..."

Everyone's first reaction was to scold Wen Jing for breaking the rules, but the next moment, seeing the smile on Wen Jing's face, their faces turned red, remembering that she was the one who set the rules, and whether or not to break the rules was ultimately her decision.

Her previous behavior had given everyone the impression that she wouldn't cross the line, but now that the truth has come out, what rules are there to follow?!

When they formed an alliance to besiege Wen Jing, they didn't talk about any of the rules of the game.

Her sudden change of heart caught the alliance completely off guard, forcing them to retreat into a basin-like terrain.

"Oh no! Where am I...?"

Upon entering the basin, the group immediately noticed unusual fluctuations in energy.

This is a special terrain feature that occupies only 1% of the playing field, an area of abnormal energy radiation.

This terrain is known as the Arena Zone because of the powerful interference. Using energy in this area, whether it's driving combat skills or secret techniques, is five times more energy-consuming and difficult than in other normal areas.

Therefore, in this area, if combat techniques and secret skills are not used properly, the consequences of missing an attack can be fatal.

Throughout the entire journey, no one dared to claim that their combat skills were comparable to Wen Jing's; entering this area only made things worse.

Everyone seemed to be hit by a skill effect that reduced their health by 70%, except for Wen Jing Jingyijian, who seemed completely unaffected and continued to eliminate the remaining opponents.

[This is incredibly unlucky; they even ran into a 1% special terrain feature.]

Do you really think it's a coincidence? Have you forgotten that Wen Jing ran all over the planet at the beginning?

So everything is going according to her plan!

Seeing this, the spectators outside the stadium were shocked to realize what was happening.

Of all the competition planets, only this basin is an area of abnormal energy radiation, and many people didn't even know such an area existed until they were eliminated.

Only Wen Jing, a special case whom no one wanted to fight in the early stages, could complete the planetary map exploration without any scruples.

Wen Jing not use strategy? No, she uses it more than anyone else!

The act of shrinking the circle may seem incredibly arrogant, but it was actually planned from the very first circle she drew.

She deliberately drove everyone to this place, circling around in circles.

Understanding how much strength you can unleash in unfamiliar environments and turning your surroundings into part of your combat power is an essential quality for a master fighter.

Run! Run! Run!

The chaotic crowd was driven to a dead end and scattered in all directions, desperately hoping to escape faster than others, their eyes bloodshot with anxiety.

Doesn't she have any weaknesses?

"Haven't they noticed yet?" Many people watching from outside the stadium were getting anxious.

Wen Jing appears to have no weaknesses in either ranged or melee combat, but in reality, he has always had a significant shortcoming.

Just then, someone leaped into the air to avoid the sword light.

Then, he realized that Wen Jing hadn't followed.

"She has no teleportation range, she can't fly!"

The Wilderness Body, who were like birds, shouted with ecstatic joy.

In the past, no one tried or noticed this because Wen Jing, thus hiding this shortcoming.

Upon discovering this, the awakened individuals whose Wilderness Body were birds Awakened as if they had been granted a pardon.

"Give Integral to those who can fly!"

The alliance leader's eyes lit up, and he shouted decisively.

"Kill me!" she said, setting an example by giving her Integral to the nearest classmate who could fly.

Having endured the terrifying oppression of Wen Jing, the remaining people have truly united as one and formed a united front.

The sons of wealthy families stopped arguing amongst themselves; they would discuss the ownership of the Wilderness Weapon after the competition ended, but they absolutely could not let Wen Jing get first place.

Moreover, even if she obtained the Wilderness Weapon, she wouldn't be willing to trade it.

With a strategy in place, the remaining players gave away points and were intentionally killed, concentrating the Integral on the five players who could fly.

One was a pursuit, the other was an intentional gift of points; with one negative and one positive, the five people's scores quickly rose, even surpassing Wen Jing's.

These five Wilderness Body birds, capable of flying in the sky using their innate instincts. Their bodies are supported by air currents around them, independent of extraterrestrial gravity.

As for the common types of Wilderness Body, there are certainly more first-year students with bird-like Wilderness Body than just these; they just realized it too late.

The five people ascended to the sky with all their might, but encountered an invisible barrier when they were 200 meters above the ground.

Just as the surface material of a planet like the one in the competition is only a dozen meters deep, the planet's atmosphere naturally also has a 'limit'.

However, two hundred meters is enough.

"Wen Jing, you're out of options now, aren't you!"

Instead of leaving for other areas, the five people gathered in the skies above the basin area.

If flying to other areas, Wen Jing might be able to jump up using the terrain, buildings, etc.

In this basin, no matter how high Wen Jing jumps, he can only reach a maximum of fifty meters, and he cannot gain leverage from the air. From any perspective, he is helpless against them.

Of the remaining six players, Wen Jing is currently ranked third in Integral!

With their previous collective effort to give away points, the top two Integral in the competition are both among those in the sky. If anything unexpected happens, they can continue to give each other points. As long as they surpass Wen Jing, they will win.

[Even someone as strong as Wen Jing can't get first place?]

If this stalemate continues, the outcome is uncertain.

Therefore, one should not be too arrogant.

"It's still not working? How could this be!"

The students in the winter class clenched their fists, finding it hard to accept that even after all this, Wen Jing had still missed out on the championship.

"It's a pity she couldn't win first place."

Seeing this, Gao Shi leaned back in his chair on the large platform and gave his summary.

This student certainly had a lot of momentum and was the most outstanding performer in the entire competition. Unfortunately, he had no teammates, didn't understand strategic alliances, and tried to crush the entire grade by himself. How could that be possible?

With vested interests at stake, the conservatives naturally support the sons of chaebols winning the competition.

Many of the mentors present, regardless of whether they agreed with him as a person, had to acknowledge his views at this moment.

"What does the dean think?" the logistics director couldn't help but ask.

Dean Bai remained silent, as did Xie Ming, who was standing next to her.

Both of them had stiff, expressionless faces; upon closer inspection, one could see slight twitching in their facial muscles.

They wanted to laugh just thinking about what was going to happen.

At the same time, on the field.

The five people in the sky confronted Wen Jing below.

They stuck together for warmth and didn't have any intention of attacking Wen Jing; they just wanted to hold onto their own points.

Give up, we'll stay here until the end of the match!

Upon hearing this, Wen Jing, who seemed helpless against them below, suddenly laughed.

"I forgot to mention, I'm actually best at shooting birds."

As soon as the words were spoken, the air in mid-air suddenly compressed, and invisible Wind Blade condensed, then drew a beautiful, cold arc across the sky.

The Wind Blade were fast and sharp, like the scythe of death. Even if the people were prepared, they would not be able to dodge them in this environment, let alone if they were caught off guard.

The attack swiftly sliced through the bodies of the five people in the sky, their faces still bearing relieved smiles before they vanished in a flash of light.

From the very beginning, Wen Jing never used the Wind Blade after discovering that he could not use the gravity of other planets to fly on the race star.

This is the moment we've been waiting for.
