After all, he didn't recognize the person, and although the effect of the [Cute Head] made him feel that the other had no hostility, there seemed to be some goodwill.

Ai Xiu, after catching Jiang Yuan's puzzled glance, turned her head away again, ignoring him, and couldn't help but stroke her chin.

[It seems now is not the right time, I'll wait a bit longer until we're more familiar.]

[Moreover, the intelligence is correct; he is indeed someone with a bit of social anxiety.]

After smiling, Ai Xiu did not continue to initiate conversation and turned her head to look forward, but still kept pace with Jiang Yuan.

...

...

"It's our turn to make a move."

Huang Huanqing, seeing that there were only a little more than thirty people left on the field, spoke to the two remaining teammates beside her.

Not only her, but Shi Zhuan and Wei Qiyou, who had just been forced to temporarily retreat from the battlefield, were also ready to make their move.

"Go!"

As Li Chengyi once again slew an opponent, Huang Huanqing and the other small teams saw their chance. Their hands gleamed with purple light as they hurried toward the treasure.

"Aim for the treasure; don't get too entangled!"

The three small teams essentially had the same idea: secure the treasure and then retreat immediately.

After all, this treasure had cost them several teammates.

If they didn't succeed in securing this treasure, wouldn't their teammates' sacrifices be in vain?

That's why, despite eliminating so many people just now, they hadn't left the scene.

The harder the challenge, the better the prize.

This had become a subconscious thought.

Basically, everyone present shared this understanding.

After all, about three to four hundred people had been eliminated because of this treasure.

Some had fled, but it didn't matter much now with only a one or two teamless individuals left.

"Shit!"

Seeing the few small teams suddenly rush out, Li Chengyi couldn't help but curse loudly.

He then ceased to hide, instantly revealing his full strength.

In his hand, three Purple Quality cards shone, storm clouds gathered in the sky, and in the next second, a wide expanse of thunderbolts crashed down, engulfing nearly half of the Sunken Star Lake.

Simultaneously, on Li Chengyi in the midst of the thunderstorm, armor composed of lightning appeared.

"Boom!"

The third Skill Card was also released, the card appeared in the air, and a sturdy white thunderbolt was unleashed instantly, engulfing the two people in front of him.

Moments later, the white thunderbolt dissipated, and the two who had been hit by it also vanished, killed instantly, eliminated!

"He's Li Chengyi, the top-ranked fifth-year student from Zhongyuan Academy!"

After Li Chengyi showed his true strength, someone finally recognized him.

"Too late now."

Li Chengyi chuckled lightly, looking towards the person who had just spoken and conjured a Thunderbolt Spear in his hand, hurling it directly at him.

The reason he hadn't revealed his full strength just now was the fear of exposing his identity and being ganged up on.

Just like the top squads from the other three premier academies ranked first.

Indeed, they were powerful, but who among those present wasn't a genius from the four top academies?

Even if they were ranked first on the academy's leaderboard, they couldn't withstand so many people's joint attack.

But now it is no longer feasible; although the number of people left was a bit high, according to his plan, it wasn't time to reveal his full strength.

But those teams that were forced to flee just now have already made a comeback.

It would be troublesome if things didn't speed up.

"Ye Jinhuan!"

"Understood!"

Li Chengyi shouted loudly, and Ye Jinhuan, smilingly, took out several Purple Quality Skill Cards.

As one of the Purple Quality Skill Cards shone, four purple glows entered the bodies of Li Chengyi and his four-person team, including himself.

Following that, the other cards in Ye Jinhuan's hands shone in succession.

Purple mist pervaded the field, red bubbling poison gas also formed a river stream, blocking the teams that had just returned outside.

"Ye Jinhua!"

Seeing this, Shi Zhuan's face turned ugly: "A rare poison attribute Skill Card Master, all his cards possess toxins!"

"Disperse! Flamestorm!"

Just when Shi Zhuan's face turned sour, a member from Huang Huanqing's squad stepped forward.

The Purple Card in hand shone brightly as the Flamestorm emerged on the field, evaporating all the purple weapons in the sky in a mere instance.

"But it's not just that."

Ye Jinhuan smiled, as the card in his hand flickered again.

Before several people could rush in, the poison cloud that had just been evaporated filled the sky once more.

The cloud, which had previously only released thunderbolts, now began to drop green raindrops.

The raindrops hit the now grassless ground, instantly creating a corroded pit.

"Got it!"

While Li Chengyi and Ye Jinhuan made their moves, another player from the team entered the ground and then appeared next to the treasure.

With a wave of his hand, Luo Huannan grabbed all five cards and then vanished from sight.

As an assassin card master, Luo Huannan was very quick, successfully withdrawing from the location of the treasure before the attack arrived.

Previously, others had tried to stealthily take away the treasure using the power of invisibility.

However, although everyone was engaged in battle, their attention remained on the treasure.

Everyone understood what the fight was for, so naturally, no one would allow the treasure to be stolen away in secret.

But just now, whether it was Li Chengyi or Ye Jinhuan, their wide-range attacks had drawn the attention of all the remaining people on the scene.

Add to that the sudden appearance of Huang Huanqing and his allies, and there were no others to pay any attention to them aside from their own opponents.

Under such circumstances, Luo Huannan followed the plan, exerting his full strength to swiftly take down his opponent in front of him and then used the [Earth Walking Skill] to reach the treasure.

After obtaining the treasure, he used [Stealth] to retreat.

Upon seeing Luo Huannan's successful retrieval, Li Chengyi and his two teammates did not hesitate and immediately used their respective cards to leave the site.

Li Chengyi transformed into lightning, vanishing in a flash, while Ye Jinhuan, with a faint smile, turned his body into a purple mist and merged into the air.

Another teammate also chuckled at Huang Huanqing and his group before using the [Earth Walking Skill].

Seeing this scene, whether it was Huang Huanqing or Shi Zhuan, they could hardly contain the anger in their hearts.

Huang Huanqing and Shi Zhuan turned to look at each other, then silently turned their heads away.

Both Huang Huanqing and Shi Zhuan recognized each other and knew the other was the top-ranked individual in their respective academies.

If their teams were to fight here and now, they would undoubtedly both suffer, with neither side coming out unscathed after the other was eliminated.

What's more, Wei Qiyou and someone from the opposing side were present.

They wouldn't let them pick up a cheap victory!

But now, since both of them were irritated, what should they do?

Naturally, they would eliminate some people!

Both teams set their sights on the remaining dozen or so people present.

In all honesty, those who could fight up to this point without being eliminated were certainly not weak.

But that's all relative.

If there had been more of those people, Huang Huanqing and Shi Zhuan wouldn't have done much.

However, the final assault by Li Chengyi and Ye Jinhuan left even those who had not yet been eliminated in a poor state.

Poison is such a thing — vile and of broad impact!

"Kill!"

Without hesitation, Huang Huanqing commanded the Mechanical Crow and Shadow Fire Weasel to attack.

...

...

"They shouldn't be able to catch up to us, let's see what cards are in the treasure."

After running a considerable distance, Li Chengyi finally asked Luo Huannan excitedly.

They were still very interested in the treasure left by the old principal.

"The White Card is indeed Linglong Tower, we can't use it for the time being."

Luo Huannan also excitedly took out the cards from his backpack card, and then began to look at them under the expectant gazes of the trio.

"This is the 36 Transformations, Shrink the Abyss?"

"36 Transformations? Is this a series of cards like the 72 Transformations?"
