Chu Long observed the distance.
A group of students from the Gifted Academy was discussing something.
Chu Long suddenly said with some worry, “There are so many of them. Are you going to attack us? There are so many of them. Should we hide for a while?”
Luo Qingcheng nodded slightly and said, “I also feel the way. Maybe they want to attack us together.”
Chu Long and Luo Qingcheng were suddenly a little worried. They were support-type team members, and their combat strength was not very strong.
Naturally, there was no doubt about the combat strength of Liu Yan and Murong Xue. The two of them also believed in Liu Yan’s combat strength.
But there were many opposing students, about forty to fifty people.
Moreover, these students were not weak either. They were all elite students of the Gifted Academy, so their strength was still passable.
If forty to fifty students were to attack Liu Yan’s team together, Luo Qingcheng and Chu Long were a little worried.
Liu Yan took a look, but he shook his head slightly and said, “It’s not easy to avoid them in this swamp. It would be even more troublesome instead. There’s not much time left. If they dare to make a move, we will fight back. Once we beat them up, they won’t dare to have any evil thoughts anymore.”
Liu Yan knew there was not much time left. They had only a little over an hour.
Meanwhile, Liu Yan still had to capture the last fierce beast, which would concern his score for this trial.
The reason why Liu Yan was willing to give that fierce beast to Chu Long was that Liu Yan had a better choice.
......
When capturing this fierce beast, Liu Yan used his A-grade perception skill Omniscient Insight to observe all directions. He sensed that there was another fierce beast not far away.
That fierce beast was the smallest. It was not even the size of a palm.
If he could capture that fierce beast, Liu Yan believed he would definitely obtain the highest score in this trial. In the end, he would also be able to get the sacrificial gemstone of the altar of fragrance.
And now, it was naturally best to get rid of these Gifted Academy students as soon as possible.
Otherwise, if they continued to pester him, it would greatly affect Liu Yan’s capturing actions.
Although the Gifted Academy students were quite strong and had many people, Liu Yan wasn’t too worried. There was no other reason. Their temporary alliance wasn’t stable.
As long as Liu Yan’s team beast defeated the ruthless students at the very front, the other students would be frightened and not dare to attack them anymore.
Like the saying, ‘strike one punch to avoid a hundred punches.’
Sometimes, Liu Yan liked to avoid some trouble. However, if these people really wanted to provoke him, he naturally did not need to avoid them.
When Chu Long and Luo Qingcheng heard Liu Yan’s decision, they also chose to believe him and nodded their heads to prepare for the battle.
Murong Xue was even more fearless. Her face was full of anticipation as she rubbed her fists as if she had been waiting for a long time.
After entering the Lighthouse Academy, she had been studying and training. She did not have many chances to fight.
Even after they had entered the fourth level of the Tower and started the trial, she had not fought other students.
A militant like Murong Xue had endured her urge for a long time. She needed a satisfying battle to vent her frustrations.
At this moment, the group of Gifted Academy students was also discussing.
They were precisely discussing attacking Liu Yan’s team.
They desperately needed the three high-score fierce beasts of Liu Yan’s team. It would bring them a great help. Not only would it allow three more of them to pass the trial, but it would also allow them to pass the trial with high scores.
On the other hand, it would prevent Liu Yan from obtaining high scores and might even be able to get first place.
The fierce beast that Liu Yan had captured just now was extremely small. It was indeed possible for it to obtain the highest score.
Liu Yan had already obtained first place in the two altar trials previously and had got the sacrificial gemstones from the previous two altars.
The students of the Gifted Academy were already somewhat displeased. They were not happy Liu Yan outclassed the students of their academy.
Yet, they hadn’t been able to deal with Liu Yan previously because they couldn’t break the rules.
And this time, it was the best opportunity.
There were no rules in this trial. It meant that they could do whatever they wanted.
Liu Yan’s strength was formidable. These students weren’t a match for Liu Yan in a one-on-one. After all, even Zheng Tainan, who was ranked in the top 30 of the Gifted Academy, wasn’t a match for Liu Yan.
But if everyone attacked together, they wouldn’t be afraid of Liu Yan.
At this moment, the students of the Gifted Academy were discussing in low voices.
“Isn’t it a bit unfair? It would be more embarrassing if word got out.”
“What’s there to be afraid of? The rules allow it anyway.”
“That’s right. The rules didn’t say that we can’t attack someone together.”
“Let’s hurry up. We don’t want Liu Yan and the girls to notice us and run away.”
“That’s right, hurry up and make a move. In any case, Liu Yan is so strong. He can continue to capture fierce beasts. There’s no need for us to feel guilty.”
“Three fierce beasts with high marks. How much help can they bring us?”
“We have to move quickly. As for the ownership of the three fierce beasts, we’ll discuss it after we’ve plundered them. Let’s make our move together first.”
…
The group of students continued to discuss. Their intentions towards Liu Yan and the others were not good.
However, these students were not aware that their intention was exposed. Even though they were far away and lowered their voices, Liu Yan could hear them clearly with his perception skill, Omniscient Insight.
With Omniscient Insight, any movement within a hundred-meter radius would not be able to escape Liu Yan’s perception.
Liu Yan heard their conversation and shook his head helplessly.
On the other hand, Murong Xue took two steps forward. She shouted extremely arrogantly at the group of Gifted Academy students, “Sigh, I say, all of you are elite students of the Gifted Academy. Why are you all so cowardly? All of you don’t have the guts to attack us, yet you still want to discuss it for a long time. You are just a bunch of rookies. What kind of elite students are you!”
Among this group of Gifted Academy students, a small number of students felt that 40 to 50 people bullying Liu Yan and the others would be too much. They felt a little uncomfortable. After all, they were all on the same side.
But after hearing Murong Xue’s arrogant provocation, they no longer felt any guilt. Their faces were filled with anger as they prepared to make a move.
“This is too much. Murong Xue dares to humiliate us.”
“Yeah, I admit that as exchange students, you are the top students of Lighthouse Academy. Your strength is indeed stronger than ours, but you can’t be so arrogant.”
“You’ll regret not taking us seriously.”
“I don’t believe that we are still not a match for the four of you.”
“Brothers, surround them together. Don’t let them escape. Let them experience the combat strength of our Gifted Academy elite students!”
…
These Gifted Academy students were instantly enraged and chose to attack Liu Yan’s group.
Forty to fifty students went forward and were immediately surrounded by Liu Yan and the others, ready to attack.
Meanwhile, Liu Yan and the other three had long been prepared for battle. They looked at the opposite side with fearless expressions.
An intense battle with a huge difference in number was about to start!
