Chapter 156: Immensely pressurizing qualifier

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Seven people—that was one-third of the students in the Elite Junior Class! It was due to the lack of judgment that ended their assessment.

Having not even demonstrated their strengths, they could be said to be aggrieved. But in this test, it was impossible for them to try again.

Those who remained in the test were lucky and very grateful to Lan Xuanyu.

If not for his tip, Jin Xiang and Lu Qianxun would still have joined up even if they could dodge this attack. And if the five people at the bottom continued to stay together, it was impossible for them to be able to survive the next fireball.

Even after dispersing, their situation was still tough, as they had to face the attacks of the horde of Ground Fire Lizards. But at least it was much better than facing the Ground Fire Scarlet Dragon.

At this moment, Lan Xuanyu’s team was already at the top of the mountain, following Liu Feng’s lead.

Once they climbed up to the peak, they couldn’t help but gasp.

They could now clearly see what was on the other side of the mountain...

Valley, the other side had a gigantic valley, but more importantly, in the valley on the other side, their exact situation was going on. It was as if they were seeing the reflection of a mirror.

There were massive amounts of Ground Fire Lizards and a huge Ground Fire Scarlet Dragon. There were also countless young Soul Masters scurrying off like frightened rats.

It was another battleground for the qualifier on the other side of the valley! And by the looks of it, the situation there seemed worse and there were less than five people there.

“Quick, get down!” Qian Lei yelled all of a sudden.

Lan Xuanyu pulled Liu Feng without hesitation, and the three people that were standing at the top of the mountain squatted immediately.

Then, two enormous fireballs flew towards their direction from both sides of the mountain.

Lan Xuanyu poured his Soul Power into Liu Feng. His White Dragon Spear moved quickly and the three of them rushed to the side along the mountain wall.

Lan Xuanyu didn’t even have to explain it to Liu Feng and Qian Lei for them to understand the situation they were in.

The mountain peak would also trigger the attacks of the Ground Fire Scarlet Dragon. Whoever reached the mountain peak would not be attacked by one Ground Fire Scarlet Dragon but two simultaneously from both sides.

On the other side, Jin Xiang’s team was also facing the same situation. The moment their heads popped up and they saw the situation on the other side, they were immediately attacked by a huge fireball, which frightened them so badly and caused them to fly down instantly.

However, being able to fly was in their favor because the Ground Fire Lizards weren’t able to! Or so Jin Xiang thought.

In the next second, they were met with a disaster.

A fiery red pillar of fire suddenly spewed out of the Ground Fire Scarlet Dragon’s mouth; it wasn’t targeted at anyone but aimed towards the sky. The pillar of fire shot up in the sky, and in the next moment, there was a fiery meteor shower.

A large-scale attack without discrimination.

The entire valley looked like it had transformed into a human purgatory.

This...

The first to bear the brunt was Jin Xiang’s team, who flew to the top and was gliding in the air. The torrential fiery meteor showers rained down on them as if they had eyes. Before they could scream in agony, the three people completely disappeared.

“Stick close to the mountain walls! Hurry!” Lan Xuanyu suddenly pulled his golden-patterned Blue Silver Grass and pulled Liu Feng, who was charging out at high-speed. At the same time, he waved his right hand and grabbed the mountain wall; his five fingers were completely inserted as he forcefully pulled Liu Feng back and pressed Qian Lei against the mountain wall with his left hand.

As fiery meteors fell from the sky and a violent roar echoed throughout the valley, the inside of the valley became a sea of fire.

When Liu Feng and Qian Lei turned around, they were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They only just realized how horrifying a strong soul beast could be!

But what surprised them was that a fiery meteor shower of that might didn’t even fly towards them, but merely swept across the sky a distance away before crashing against the ground.

“It targets flying-type Soul Masters. How could Shrek’s qualifier have any loopholes? With Jin Xiang’s team flying so freely in the sky, they were courting death,” Lan Xuanyu said helplessly.

Yes, no loopholes! There were only opportunities in this qualifier, but no loopholes, and they could be targeted at any Soul Master of any ability.

They stuck close to the mountain walls, for the attacks were targeted at the skies and not the mountain walls. If Liu Fen continued to jump, once they got too far from the mountain walls, they might also be affected. Hence, Lan Xuanyu once again made an accurate judgment instantly.

It had certainly allowed them to survive another calamity.

But the others were not so lucky. Among the five people at the bottom, the group with only two people remaining was engulfed by the fiery meteor shower. Being closer to the mountain walls, the group of three managed to avoid the fiery meteor shower, but the Ground Fire Lizards were also hiding from the fiery meteor shower and there were more Ground Fire Lizards charging towards their side; they wouldn’t be able to ward them off for long.

Sticking close to the mountain wall and not being too high or too low was the best way to survive this test.

With this series of changes, Lan Xuanyu already had an assessment of the situation in his heart.

There were already Ground Fire Lizards climbing upwards along the mountain wall, but there weren’t too many of them.

Was this test of survival really testing one’s battle strength? That was clearly not the case. If one could clearly understand the characteristics of that Ground Fire Scarlet Dragon, one would still be able to survive for a period of time even with lower cultivation.

This was Shrek’s test!

Lu Qianxun displayed his wisdom at this moment too. While fighting off the Ground Fire Lizards with his teammates and climbing upwards, he observed Lan Xuanyu’s movements. When the fiery meteor shower came down, he saw that Lan Xuanyu’s team stuck close to the mountain walls, so he quickly pulled Ye Lingtong and Chang Jianyi to do the same. As expected, they managed to get through another disaster. When the massive amounts of fiery meteor shower came down, those Ground Fire Lizards decreased drastically as well, giving them a chance to breathe.

Time went by and the Ground Fire Lizards still wreaked havoc below; those that appeared out of nowhere seemed to be infinite. The team at the bottom of the valley survived for another three minutes before they, too, were swallowed by those Ground Fire Lizards.

21 Elite Junior Class students, seven teams, went into the valley. Right now, there were only Lan Xuanyu and Lu Qianxun’s teams left.

There were more and more Ground Fire Lizards, and they were starting to climb up the mountain.

“Lan Xuanyu, what should we do next? Do you have any good ideas?” Lu Qianxun yelled towards Lan Xuanyu.

From the start of the qualifier, Lan Xuanyu’s team had been making the right choices and though there were only their two teams remaining now, in actuality, Lan Xuanyu’s team had used up much less energy. The attack power of the Ground Fire Lizards climbing up the mountain would be much smaller, far less than their strength on the platform.

Also, Lan Xuanyu’s team was near the peak and there weren’t many Ground Fire Lizards climbing up.

Lan Xuanyu’s judgment had not been wrong even once since the beginning, and this chap was simply too wicked. Look at what he was doing! He released his ice element down the mountain walls, making it too slippery for the Ground Fire Lizards to climb up. It was almost impossible for those lizards to attack them now.

If this went on, Lan Xuanyu’s team would definitely be able to survive for a longer time.

Lan Xuanyu looked in Lu Qianxun’s direction and said helplessly, “I don’t have any good ideas either. We can only dawdle for now. The longer we stay here, the better our results, right?”

Lu Qianxun was silent for a moment and said, “Are there any loopholes?”

Lan Xuanyu shrugged and continued to complete his major ice-making project.

Just then, Liu Feng stuck his White Dragon Spear into the mountain wall and provided a resting area for the three of them. While Qian Lei and Liu Feng sat on the White Dragon Spear, Lan Xuanyu clung to the mountain wall with one hand and simultaneously used the other to release ice downwards, trying to maximize the area of the ice so that it would be tougher for the Ground Fire Lizards to climb up. Once these lizards slid down, they would be like rolling timbers and stones, and would crash into those Ground Fire Lizards that were climbing up from the bottom. Their current situation was clearly the safest.
