The situation was indeed as Li Yao had predicted. The scales of victory were irrevocably tilted towards Team Blue.
From the enormous hologram in the monitoring center, it could be clearly seen that Team Blue had completely assembled in less than three hours.
They formed the core combat unit in the scale of three to five contestants. Most of the members came from the same school or region, so they were familiar with each other. Moreover, the offensive and support-type contestants were well-matched, combining attack and defense as one.
The distance between each combat unit was just right. All of the combat units faintly formed a large circle, surrounding the "command center" with Gao Ye as the head and a dozen or so contestants with talent for management as support.
The command center was the brain, and all of the combat units were the fist. Team Blue started from the north side of Devil Flood Dragon Island and headed south, sweeping through everything.
The contestants on both sides were randomly selected. Their overall strength was almost the same. Using an organized combat unit to fight an unorganized group of loose sand was simply a one-sided massacre!
Along the way, whether it was Demon Beasts or Red Team contestants, there was practically no one who could resist the existence of Team Blue.
Even if there were a few Red Team contestants with tyrannical strength who could hold on for a while, there would immediately be three or four or even five or six Blue Team combat units surrounding them. Under a flurry of blades, the Red Team contestants were all sent into the gel and expelled from the exam grounds!
Before the first day was even half over, Team Red had already lost over 120 contestants. They were beaten senseless by Team Blue and were utterly defeated.
On the other hand, Team Blue had only lost a trifling thirty or so contestants. Moreover, as they became more and more familiar with each other, Team Red's range of activity was further suppressed. The "battle loss ratio" between the two sides was still increasing.
"There's no suspense. If this continues, Team Red will be completely annihilated in less than a day and a half!" In the monitoring center, several experienced officers came to a conclusion with absolute certainty.
Numerous cultivators sighed one after another. They never thought that such a heaven-defying genius in command would emerge from Team Blue. He effortlessly obtained an overwhelming victory.
To the ordinary contestants on both sides, this was actually somewhat unfair.
However, this was reality. On a true battlefield, luck was sometimes more important than strength.
In the corner of the monitoring center, Xie Tingxian and Ding Ling Dong tightly furrowed their brows. They never thought that such a one-sided situation would occur. Team Blue had already taken control of the situation. Even if Li Yao's individual strength was stronger, it would be of no avail.
It would be very difficult for him to kill his way into the top 300.
"Li Yao, what are you waiting for?"
The two of them stared at the red dot representing Li Yao on the huge light screen.
From the map, it could be seen that Li Yao's little red dot had been staying at a certain dark corner in the north of Devil Flood Dragon Island. It hadn't moved since the beginning.
Even when a large patch of blue light rolled over in front of him, he didn't have the slightest intention of jumping out.
Now, Li Yao had appeared at the rear of Team Blue.
The surroundings were empty. Apart from him, all the other members of the Red Team had been killed. Only the four Blue Patrol Teams were still patrolling the area.
In the deepest part of the dark bushes, a pair of eyes slowly opened, emitting a bright light.
He was like a hungry vulture that had found the fattest lamb.
"Rustle, rustle, rustle, rustle." The bush shook for a while, and Li Yao came out unhurriedly.
He carefully observed the footprints on the ground and the traces of friction on the surrounding tree trunks. Then, like a large python, he slithered up the large tree.
Li Yao slithered noiselessly between the branches. His speed was faster than if he were running madly on the ground.
Very quickly, a small patrol team formed by three Blue Team examinees appeared in his line of sight.
Unsurprisingly, these three people were holding close-combat magic treasures that he had assembled.
Li Yao faintly smiled. This situation had long been within his calculations.
In the preliminary round, he had assembled several hundred close-combat magic treasures. There were only six hundred candidates who had entered the finals. Practically every one of them had one.
In addition, Team Red had lost a portion of their manpower. Their magic treasures would certainly have been seized by Team Blue.
"The magic treasures in your hands were all assembled by me … How are you going to fight me?!"
Li Yao stomped with his two legs. His strength was so great that it caused the branches under his feet to snap with a cracking sound.
He was like a giant owl, descending from the sky and pouncing towards Team Blue's patrol team!
"Enemy attack!"
After working together for half a day, Team Blue's patrol team had long since cultivated some degree of tacit understanding. They didn't lose their heads out of fear because of Li Yao's sneak attack.
The three people activated the activation glyph arrays of their close-combat magic treasures within 0.1 seconds.
The chainsword let out a rumble, the Thunder Saber began to vibrate, and the Burning Sky Battleaxe's edge turned orange in an instant!
But in the next 0.1 seconds, a piercing pain came from the palms of the three people. It was as if a sharp electric current flowed from the grip of the weapon into their arms. It flowed all the way to their hearts and fiercely stung them!
"Ah!"
The three patrolmen simultaneously let out miserable cries. Their bodies couldn't help but stiffen for a second!
In the short span of one second, two black streaks of light flashed past their necks. Just as they were about to make contact with their skin, the three Puji Critters promptly spat out a gel, firmly protecting the three Blue Team contestants. At the same time, it also cut off their hopes of continuing forward!
The three Blue Team candidates were judged to have failed and withdrawn from the competition!
"Swish swish swish swish!"
The points under their names were immediately transferred to Li Yao's name. Li Yao's name suddenly jumped up 30 places on the rankings board!
"What's going on?"
Quite a few cultivators in the monitoring center had seen this short sneak attack.
They were puzzled by the three Blue Team candidates' clearly somewhat stupid performances.
"What are the three Blue Team candidates doing? Why are they all dumbfounded all of a sudden? If it weren't for that one second of stiffening, even if they had to pay a little sacrifice, they could've completely finished off this Red Team candidate! "
"Huh? This Red Team candidate seems to be the refining expert who assembled several hundred close-combat magic treasures in the preliminary round. Who would've thought that he would actually persevere until now and even kill three Blue Team candidates in one go? His strength is so strong! "
"No, there's something strange. There's something strange about the three Blue Team candidates' weapons!"
A few cultivators with better insight immediately saw through the ins and outs of the situation. Everyone cast their gazes towards Xie Tingxian.
Xie Tingxian's eyes were wide open as he paid attention to Li Yao's splendid performance. Only when Li Yao once again disappeared into the darkness did he let out a long sigh of relief. He revealed an expression of sudden realization.
Looking around, Xie Tingxian smiled and said:
"Fellow Daoists, there's no need to be surprised. When this student Li Yao assembled each of the magic treasures, he made some small modifications. He designed a small spiritual energy circuit that allowed each of the magic treasures to receive his remote control at a close distance. In an instant, a spiritual energy overload would appear, causing spiritual energy to overflow and release a small spiritual energy fluctuation."
