“Listen up, everyone! The army fights in large formations, but we will fight as a squad. We'll form a team to harvest the magical beasts around the edges of the battlefield. Coordinate with each other and look out for one another. Do not push too deep. Understood?” Zhang Ye said to Lina and the others beside him.
Everyone nodded, immediately forming a squad with Zhang Ye at the head.
The squad detached from the main army and moved to the flank of the battlefield.
“Fight freely, but watch out for friendly fire!” With that, Zhang Ye flung out hundreds of spiked shackles, skewering dozens of oncoming magical beasts before throwing their carcasses back into the beast tide, knocking over many more.
Lina also got into character immediately.
Having previously gone on missions and trained with Zhang Ye, she already knew what it felt like to hunt magical beasts.
Thus, she executed several consecutive Blinks, plunging right into the midst of several magical beasts. Unholstering her dual pistols, she unleashed a torrent of compressed mana bullets. Following that, compressed mana light blades over a meter long extended from the bottoms of her pistols. As she swung them, they rapidly lengthened to dozens of meters, slicing through the surrounding magical beasts' bodies like a knife through butter.
With her immense mobility, not a single magical beast could even touch her. Once again, she transformed into a ballet dancer in a storm, dancing gracefully across this brutal battlefield.
Nan was like a ghost, concealing his aura. His whole body became illusory, and even the puddles on the ground barely rippled as he stepped on them. Only when he struck could a flash of lightning be seen, decapitating several magical beasts before his figure vanished once more.
Talia swung her fists like the incarnation of violence. Her giant fists clashed head-on with the magical beasts. With a single punch, a magical beast renowned for its strength was sent flying, reduced to a bloody mess!
Paige spread her arms, her pink hair fluttering as a faint, eerie light glowed all over her body. The next moment, she let out a sharp shriek. The soundwaves condensed into a single stream, sharp as a needle. As the soundwaves swept over the magical beasts, they bled from their seven facial orifices and collapsed, their eyes rolling back.
Just like his eldest sister, Renomon was enveloped in blue flames. The fire was fierce, carrying the roar of a majestic lion. Wherever he went, terrifyingly hot flames followed, blasting the magical beasts in front of him into ashes.
There was also Samanra, Shana, Katelansi, and the other students. Each was incredibly outstanding. Though their combat styles differed, they harmonized beautifully, forming a gorgeous scroll of magic that contrasted with the blood mist drifting in the air—beautiful yet deadly.
Among them, the most dazzling was Zhang Ye.
Lightning snakes surged across his body, and countless lightning clones split from him at every moment. He then executed a series of Blinks, trailing streaks of deep blue starlight. With every Blink, several magical beasts collapsed.
The fallen magical beasts all shared one characteristic: their deaths were swift!
Whether their heads were smashed by a single punch, their brains instantly pierced by electric currents, strangled by wild winds, or incinerated into ashes...
They died incredibly quickly. They were charging one second and dead the next. Their bodies did not even have time to react, running forward a short distance before slowly collapsing, lifeless and practically painless.
Wherever Zhang Ye passed, the magical beasts fell in droves!
Not a single magical beast below Tier Ten could last a single round against him. It was like mowing down grass in a musou game.
Watching this, everyone could feel Zhang Ye's immense power even more deeply.
Lina gazed at Zhang Ye's figure, her eyes filled with absolute admiration.
She wanted to be just like Zhang Ye!
She wanted to be as strong as him!
“Roar!!!” Suddenly, a mantis-like, Tier Ten Newly Advanced magical beast lunged at Lina like lightning.
As everyone knew, a mantis's strike speed was extremely fast, impossible to capture with the naked eye—let alone a Tier Ten mantis magical beast.
Lina was still lost in her admiration for Zhang Ye. By the time she snapped out of it, the mantis's scythe was already right above her head.
Time slowed down.
Lina's eyes flickered slightly.
She hadn't activated her Time Domain, had she?
The next moment, she understood.
Zhang Ye's figure appeared beside the mantis. With a hand blade, he chopped off the mantis's dual scythes, then threw a full-force punch that shattered the mantis's head.
The green fluid slowly splattered in all directions in midair, as if someone had pressed the slow-motion button.
Watching this, a brilliant light flashed in Lina's eyes.
“Brother Ye...” Lina said subconsciously.
Zhang Ye walked up to her and smiled. “A Pseudo-Time Domain. I've also touched upon its threshold.”
Saying that, he gently patted Lina on the head twice. “Don't get distracted during battle.”
Lina snapped out of it and nodded vigorously. “Mhm! I won't do it again!”
Zhang Ye smiled. The next moment, time returned to normal. Almost no one noticed the brief temporal shift, and the battle continued.
“Triple Thunder Prison Kill!” With a loud roar, Nan's figure appeared in the center of the ground battlefield. Two other lightning clones lunged from different directions. The trinity directly turned the central area of several hundred meters into a lightning purgatory. Any magical beast below Tier Ten inside was instantly killed, and even Tier Ten magical beasts could only barely resist for a brief moment.
Seeing this, the corner of Zhang Ye's mouth curled up. “Three Hundred Thunder Prison Kill!”
The next moment, a lightning purgatory spanning hundreds of meters expanded. Hundreds of Zhang Ye's lightning clones scattered in all directions. Thunder rumbled across the battlefield. Within the lightning purgatory, even Tier Ten magical beasts were instantly vaporized!
Nan: “???”
He was completely dumbfounded.
Zhang Ye smiled at him triumphantly.
This hundredfold version of the 【Triple Thunder Prison Kill】 was incredibly powerful. The only downside was its massive consumption. Had he not advanced to Tier Nine and possessed a massive, extremely pure mana reserve, he wouldn't have been able to cast this hundredfold Triple Thunder Prison Kill at all.
This single cast instantly drained seventy percent of his mana, leaving him slightly lightheaded. But to show off, it was totally worth it!
Looking at his smug little expression, Nan turned his face away and pursed his lips. “Childish.”
Yet, the corner of his mouth curled into a slight arc that even he didn't notice.
He could feel that Zhang Ye was paying attention to him.
Meanwhile, the battle in the sky had entered a fever pitch.
Leona and the Dark Cloud Tiger were locked in a world-shaking battle.
Leona found the Dark Cloud Tiger extremely troublesome. Its dark-attribute mana could actually weaken the power of her magic, as well as her perception and strength. When it came to pure physical clashes, she was up against a magical beast, so she didn't gain much of an advantage.
Meanwhile, the Dark Cloud Tiger was also filled with shock. It felt that this human was far too powerful.
She was practically the strongest opponent it had ever encountered!
Its strength was its greatest pride; ordinary Five-star Saint-tier magical beasts were no match for it. Such was the power of its lineage. Yet, facing Leona, it actually felt immense pressure—her strength was even greater than its own!
If not for the various weakening effects of its dark-attribute mana, it wouldn't even be Leona's match in terms of strength!
Furthermore, Leona's combat techniques were incredibly solid, and her battle instincts were too sharp. Every single one of its attacks was either blocked or neutralized by her. After fighting for so long, it hadn't managed to injure Leona at all, while it had already sustained significant injuries.
Had it not been for a magical beast's incredibly robust life force and physical constitution, any human would have died long ago!
This gave the Dark Cloud Tiger an illusion—Leona was not a human, but a lion!
A blazing lion powerful to the absolute extreme!
The Dark Cloud Tiger knew that if this continued, it would never be Leona's match.
It couldn't keep fighting!
Having developed the urge to retreat, its attacks grew conservative as it gradually shifted to defense, looking for an opportunity to slip away.
But how rich was Leona's combat experience?
She immediately picked up on the Dark Cloud Tiger's intentions, a fierce glint flashing in her eyes.
Want to run?
As if you can escape!
Leona let out a furious roar, her strength suddenly surging to a new level as she threw a punch at the Dark Cloud Tiger's mana shield.
Instantly, the shield shattered. The air itself exploded under the compression of that terrifying force, forming a vacuum zone.
Within the vacuum, because of the environment, the blue flames condensed into a blue sphere of light, resembling a star!
It illuminated the entire battlefield!
Leona's strength was not exhausted; on the contrary, it was only now fully erupting.
Looking at the terrified Dark Cloud Tiger before her, steel-like muscle lines defined themselves on Leona's arm as a thunderous shout echoed through the sky.
“【Star Burst · Red Lotus】!!!”
The star bloomed.
It actually transformed into a red lotus, blossoming in the sky. Accompanied by that blazing, cool light, it was as if a red lotus was blooming within a star.
Boom!!!
