Chapter 137 (continued)
The Heavenly Endeavor Squad charged toward the Zero Three Squad, and along the way they were busy eliminating almost Star Wielders they passed.
Some were lucky enough to give up the moment they saw them, thus avoiding elimination.
Some people weren't so lucky; they barely made contact with the enemy before being killed on the spot by the Heavenly Endeavor Squad.
The situation was similar for Zero Three Squad.
They wouldn't sit idly by and wait to die. Now that the Heavenly Endeavor Squad had arrived, they wouldn't back down from the fight!
As for the pre-match avoidance agreements discussed by the three favorite teams...
It was long ago wiped out because of the fall of the Tiger-Sheep Squad.
Heavenly Endeavor Squad felt that Zero Three Squad was pushing their luck, not only killing Tiger-Sheep Squad first, but also stealing the spotlight from their "Heavenly Rain of Blades".
Zero Three Squad was equally self-righteous, feeling fortunate that they had taken advantage of the Heavenly Rain of Blades, otherwise they would have been killed by Heavenly Endeavor Squad, just like Tiger-Sheep Squad.
Both sides believe they are in the right, so the only option left is to fight!
After Li Yang and Lu Yanbie lay in ambush, they first spotted Heavenly Endeavor Squad.
The entire Heavenly Endeavor Squad consists of top-tier Star Formation Masters, but that doesn't mean they lack close-combat capabilities.
Regardless of profession, once you reach this level, you are capable of fighting independently.
They will compensate for their shortcomings through other means to ensure they can leverage their strengths in actual combat and achieve victory!
The Heavenly Endeavor Squad's weakness is very obvious: their formation needs to be prepared in advance.
In an encounter battle, the enemy won't give them time to prepare.
Therefore, the Heavenly Endeavor Squad all possess Star Skill that enhance speed. This speed not only increases their own movement speed but also their formation speed.
Moreover, they were all equipped with expensive and rare Qiankun Bag.
This Qiankun Bag is specially made and can hold some semi-finished Star Formation.
Once a suitable location is chosen and the Star Formation is deployed, they can quickly replenish it.
An ordinary Qiankun Bag cannot hold this kind of semi-finished Star Formation.
This is also the experience accumulated by the Star Formation Masters through countless battles.
The Heavenly Endeavor Squad has already set up the Star Formation.
Lu Yanbie's spiritual power was slightly higher; his eyes were bright, but he didn't dare to say much to Li Yang.
The distance is too close, and the Star Formation Master on the other side also has extremely high mental strength, and may even have some counter-reconnaissance measures.
While communication through the Spirit Sea is discreet, it still carries the risk of being exposed in the presence of some Star Wielders with high spiritual strength.
Li Yang and Lu Yanbie must not reveal their whereabouts now!
Although Li Yang didn't quite understand the Star Formation, he could still sense its power.
Li Yang and Lu Yanbie fought to the limit when facing the Tiger-Sheep Squad.
If Li Yang hadn't risked his life to save Lu Yanbie, their Fire Fox hybrid team would have disbanded on the spot.
It was precisely because of the battle with the Tiger-Sheep Squad that Li Yang became more cautious and did not want to clash head-on with the other two popular squads.
Their margin for error is too low; if Lu Yanbie, they will be in danger.
Li Yang was able to escape the Life-and-Death Battle thanks to the protection of her Invincible Shield, Lu Yanbie?
Lu Yanbie must not die.
Everything is going very smoothly for now, and Heavenly Endeavor Squad and Zero Three Squad have indeed started fighting like dogs.
Li Yang and Lu Yanbie just remain calm and wait until one of the teams is eliminated, or until both sides are exhausted, before making their move.
Without a doubt, all the spectators outside the venue focused their attention on this perspective.
The Heavenly Endeavor Squad and the Zero Three Squad were about to collide, but the two clever fire fox hybrids had already laid an ambush.
What was the final outcome?
Nobody knows.
And this suspense is undoubtedly the most exciting part!
Heavenly Endeavor Squad and Zero Three Squad have a group of loyal "fans" who are now showering them with rewards and cheering for their supported teams.
Seeing their rapidly increasing reward points, Heavenly Endeavor Squad and Zero Three Squad became even more determined to have a big battle.
One less person means a larger share of the profits.
They are the ones who will stand until the very end!
The amount involved in this Life-and-Death Battle is terrifying; it may ultimately exceed one hundred million Star Coin.
What does this mean?
That's enough to buy several small Realm Domain!
The more Heavenly Endeavor Squad and Zero Three Squad thought about it, the more excited they became, and the onlookers were also thrilled.
They certainly wouldn't receive the reward points, but simply participating in it excited them immensely.
It feels like your team has won first place too!
At this point, the organizers promptly launched a prediction contest for the final battle.
There are four options: Heavenly Endeavor Squad wins, Zero Three Squad wins, Fire Fox Squad wins, and a random passerby gets lucky and snags a bargain.
The fourth option has the lowest probability, but it's not impossible.
Given the current situation, there are at least 20 players remaining on the field.
The Heavenly Endeavor Squad has five members, the Zero Three Squad has eight members, and with the addition of the Fire Fox Squad's two members, there are only 15 people in total.
Five survivors remain.
Although they are currently far from where Heavenly Endeavor Squad and Zero Three Squad are fighting, once the battle starts, someone might risk coming to pick off their enemies.
When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman profits.
Until the very end, no one can say for sure who will be the fisherman.
Although there was a fourth option, very few people chose it.
The Heavenly Endeavor Squad and Zero Three Squad won the most, accounting for 80% of the total betting amount.
Another 15% chose the Fire Fox Squad.
Judging from the current situation, the Fire Fox Squad has the best ambush.
But there were only two of them, and none of the off-field viewers who were focused on the Heavenly Endeavor Squad and the Zero Three Squad paid any attention to the Fire Fox Squad's perspective, or even knew about the Invincible Shield.
Most of those who bet on Fire Fox Squad to win were spectators in the arena.
Jiang Yuqing recalled Li Yang's words, "Only a fool wouldn't make money when he could."
He hadn't even bothered to place his bets before, he was just too nervous, afraid that something might happen to Li Yang.
The advantage is that he collects enough Shock Points, so whether he bets or not doesn't matter anymore.
Now that he had finally recovered, he quickly took out all the Star Coin he had and gambled them all on the Fire Fox Squad.
His 100,000 Star Coin were insignificant compared to Li Yang's reward.
But based on the current odds, it could be four or five times higher.
Four or five hundred thousand Star Coin is a considerable sum!
Even if Jiang Yuqing could quickly refine pills and make money, to earn this much money... good heavens, no wonder everyone is obsessed with Life-and-Death Battle.
The speed at which he makes money is comparable to that of Heavenly Fortune Bearer in the Alchemical Dao Department!
The betting on the final battle closed quickly.
The audience was even more excited about the match.
Not all viewers are there to tip; many also want to make a quick buck by placing bets.
Sometimes, making a quick buck like this can earn you far more than a fighter participating in a Life-and-Death Battle!
Of course, the ultimate winner is always the one who comes out on top in the Life-and-Death Battle.
The team that remains standing in the secret realm will take all the rewards and become the undisputed champion.
Who is this year's champion in the Life-and-Death Battle?
Everyone is incredibly excited!
Jiang Yuqing was also extremely nervous. He even forgot Li Yang's purpose in coming to the Life-and-Death Battle. His mind was filled with nothing but winning the match!
If this huge sum of money were to go down the drain, he would be heartbroken and unable to sleep all night.
Inside the secret realm, Heavenly Endeavor Squad and Zero Three Squad finally clashed head-on!
Comparatively speaking, Zero Three Squad is the most well-rounded of the three well-known squads.
The Tiger-Sheep Squad leans towards Star Magic, the Heavenly Endeavor Squad leans towards Star Formation, while the Zero Three Squad is a very typical all-around lineup.
Star Formation Department, Star Magic Department, Spirit Department... they even brought a Star Support Department.
Teams with the Star Support Department have strong endurance.
Some support-type Star Skill are far more powerful than elixirs.
It can quickly heal wounds, bringing a near-death warrior back to full health.
Such abilities are something that elixirs simply cannot achieve.
If a team has a strong Star Support Department, it's like having twice the number of people!
Of course, against a team with the Star Support Department, the primary objective is often to eliminate that Star Support Department.
However, the Star Support Department also has its own countermeasures. They either have powerful defensive Star Skill or hidden Star Skill that are difficult to see through.
In short, it won't be easy to take them down.
The Heavenly Endeavor Squad and the Zero Three Squad exchanged several blows in the blink of an eye.
As Star Formation Masters, the Heavenly Endeavor Squad is also very strong in actual combat. They are no weaker than the Star Combat Department in close combat, no worse than the Star Magic Department in ranged combat, and even have corresponding Star Skill in terms of control.
Li Yang was overwhelmed by what she saw; she hadn't expected that Star Formation Master could be so comprehensive.
However, upon closer examination, the array formations of Star Formation Masters are all-encompassing. If they are not proficient in other schools, it would be difficult for them to create corresponding Star Formation.
Moreover, these five Star Formation Masters have different inclinations.
They had excellent teamwork, clearly having practiced countless times before, and their coordination was superb.
The same applies to Zero Three Squad.
Li Yang learned a lot from them.
In terms of team combat, Li Yang still lacks a lot of experience, but this observation has given him more insights.
If we're really talking about comprehensiveness, the Nature Department are truly comprehensive, with no blind spots.
Li Yang is very confident in the talents of his junior brothers and sisters. If they can be given targeted training based on their personalities, their team will become even more stable and powerful!
The aftermath of the battle between Heavenly Endeavor Squad and Zero Three Squad was significant.
It was precisely because of this aftershock that they felt completely at ease about their surroundings.
They had no idea that Li Yang possessed such a secret treasure as the Invincible Shield.
