There were trial takers from both camps who rushed out regardless of the danger. They targeted a few of the Sky Tribe corpses that were still in the process of transforming and unleashed countless magic spells. Like a swarm of locusts, the trial takers rushed toward the Sky Tribe corpses that were still unsteady on their feet.
The terrifying battle formation only lasted for an instant before it was destroyed by a burst of black smoke that soared into the sky!
Those terrifying magic spells were all destroyed, and a murmur that seemed to originate from ancient times slowly played on the battlefield. This was the murmur of a man, and it seemed to be complaining about an unfair fate. It also seemed to be cursing this world and all the humans that were still alive.
Li Xiang was slightly taken aback. Even with his high concentration and the dark golden aura protecting his body, he was still affected by this strange murmur.
He recovered from his daze and looked around. He found that many trial takers had glazed eyes and were beginning to mutter to themselves, chanting some unknown incantation along with the murmur. Some of them even involuntarily walked out of their hiding places and walked toward the center of the battlefield step by step.
After all the magic spells were broken, the trial takers who had rushed out were immediately exposed to the sight of the Sky Tribe's skeletons. They had a bad premonition and turned back, but they were affected by the sudden whispers and fell from the sky one after another.
The Sky Tribe corpses were bathed in the murmur, and the black smoke became thicker and thicker, wrapping around their bodies. After a while, the final transformation was completed.
The corpses' previous stiffness and decay were swept away, replaced by skin and bodies that glowed with a dazzling black light. Pairs of black wings spread out from their backs, and they picked up a series of divine weapons that were scattered on the ground in their hands.
Puchi!
A sky race skeleton thrust out its sword, its sharp blade piercing through the trial challenger who was still mumbling to himself. Blood sprayed out from his mouth as his body was lifted high into the air by the sword. His body continued to twitch, but he continued to mumble as if he didn't hear anything. Even when his body was torn apart by countless blades, he still didn't wake up.
Those Trial Takers who were fighting to be the ones to eat crabs were all shocked and ran back one by one. However, they were all intercepted by the skeletons that flew into the sky, and a desperate fight broke out.
Like Li Xiang, some of the trial takers finally woke up from their stupor. They put away their lazy and mocking gazes and prepared themselves for battle. One by one, they moved forward in groups, distancing themselves from the tyrannical remains of the sky clan.
"Roar!"
A tall Sky Race warrior leapt into the air, an Origin Substance short sword protruding from its back. The person attacking it was a young woman in a black dress who was hiding in the darkness. The young woman had a voluptuous butt and a slender waist. From the way she fought, it seemed like she was an assassin.
Each of the three main classes had its own merits. Those who had the potential to become a Magician would not reject this most versatile class. Most of the others would choose to become a Guardian, which was more effective on the battlefield. On the other hand, the Assassin class, which was known to be the strongest in terms of combat power, was the least popular.
In this year's School Championship Competition, Li Xiang had indeed rarely seen people walk the path of an assassin. The expression of the young woman in the black dress changed slightly, as if she did not expect that her sneak attack would not have any effect.
"She panicked before the battle and exposed her position. She's dead for sure." Li Xiang sighed. He had already made a judgment for the young woman in the black dress. Although he walked the path of a Secret Magician, he had also learned a lot of assassination techniques from Ming Xu. This kind of panicked behavior before the battle was the path to death.
Sure enough, after the young woman in the black dress exposed her position, the Sky Race warrior immediately noticed her. It suddenly turned around and lifted her up with one hand. Its thick and solid arm muscles bulged, and a huge force that could be seen with the naked eye suddenly burst out, crushing the young woman in the black dress in an instant!
Countless pieces of flesh and blood splattered, waking up those Trial Takers who still had a trace of hope!
These 100 Strengthening Points were not so easy to obtain.
Li Xiang estimated the Strength of the Sky Race warrior. It was probably very close to 10000 kg. Because it was a corpse, it did not have any combat skills, so its actual combat strength was slightly reduced. However, it was still at the level of a top Level-3 Magician.
A few Trial Takers who had tried to sneak up on the Sky Race warrior saw the remains of the young woman being crushed and felt their hearts palpitate. They did not dare to have such thoughts anymore and immediately retreated.
Countless Sky Race skeletons awakened from the ground. They heard the dark whispers coming from an unknown place and crawled out of their graves, roaring as they charged towards the Trial Takers.
Their bodies thirsted for fresh flesh and blood, and they could not wait a moment longer.
The army of Sky Race skeletons surged forward like a tidal wave. The few Sky Race warriors at the front were like bulldozers, and any Trial Takers who tried to stop them were brutally dismembered.
They were able to tear apart a Level-3 Magician's body with pure strength, and their speed was frighteningly fast. Among this batch of participants, the only ones who could compete with them in terms of strength were probably Li Xiang and Xuanyue, who had abnormal Physiques.
Seeing the skeletons charging towards him at high speed, Li Xiang had no desire to fight. On the other side, Xuanyue, Yue Xingling, and Ji Xiaoyi were the same.
The four of them turned into four shooting stars and ran in different directions. At first, no one paid them any attention. After all, everyone was running around like stray dogs. As long as they did not get in the way of others, no one would notice what they were doing.
However, after a while, the first person to notice Li Xiang's strange behavior was Qin Mu, who had been silently observing him.
After being slapped in the face by Ming Xu and then brutally abused by Luo Chu, Qin Mu had finally put away the pride in his bones. He paid special attention to this unfathomable youth.
It was also because of this that he was able to see Li Xiang's figure in the sea of people. Rather than saying that he was running away, it was more accurate to say that he was intentionally leading the Sky Clan skeletons to a certain place.
The Trial Takers realized that the more people there were, the more conspicuous it would be. They immediately spread out, and the area with the fog of war and the complicated terrain made the Blood Forest and the ruins of the Holy City suitable for hiding and fighting instantly became the most popular places.
Only Li Xiang's group of four took a strange route. They led a group of Sky Clan skeletons in a direction that no one had expected.
Because they had split up, there were only a dozen or so Sky Clan skeletons following behind Li Xiang. If not for the fact that there were two Sky Clan warriors among them, he would have had the urge to turn back and fight.
Suppressing his desire to fight, he continued to run at high speed. His previous systematic training had allowed him to be like a fish in water in any kind of terrain. The Sky Clan skeletons were not slow, but there was still a large gap between them and him. With the help of the terrain, they were led around in circles by him.
After running for a while, Li Xiang finally saw that familiar obelisk building.
He was actually leading the Sky Clan skeletons to his own faction's defensive facility!
Qin Mu, who was secretly observing from the side, was amazed by Li Xiang's courage and extraordinary Physique. He hurriedly found a good place to hide and watch. He really didn't know what kind of sparks would fly between the obelisk and the Sky Clan skeletons.
Would they just ignore them, or would they attack indiscriminately like how they attacked the Trial Takers of the enemy faction?
Seeing that Li Xiang was about to rush into the range of the obelisk, the Sky Clan skeletons didn't stop. Instead, they ruthlessly attacked.
Whoosh!
A milky white light flashed, and a dazzling white light shot down from the top of the obelisk. The Sky Clan skeletons at the front bore the brunt of the white light, and a charred smell wafted out. The first round of attacks from the obelisk was extremely powerful. It could instantly destroy a Level-3 Magician, and these Sky Clan skeletons were no exception.
Li Xiang glanced behind him. He was secretly delighted. It really was useful.
The Sky Clan skeletons that had been slain provided him with quite a lot of stat points.
However, after the skeletons exploded, they immediately turned into black mist and blasted into the obelisk. The health bar at the top of the obelisk immediately dropped from 9652 to 9613. The black mist formed by the Sky Clan skeletons after they died could actually deal damage to the obelisk!
Qin Mu trembled with fear. The Trial Takers who were also secretly observing the situation from the side snorted in displeasure.
This was clearly using the obelisk for personal gain.
However, even though they were displeased, there was nothing they could do to stop it. They also didn't have the ability to do so.
In order to lure a large number of Sky Clan skeletons to the side of the obelisk, one had to have sufficient speed and stamina. One also had to be able to withstand their violent attacks at any time. Otherwise, one would be torn to shreds by the skeletons before they even reached the obelisk.
Moreover, the slightest pause could cause one to be surrounded and beaten to death.
It was clear that Li Xiang knew this area like the back of his hand. He had a good sense of direction, and his Physique was astonishing. Only then could he accomplish such a feat.
On the other side, the obelisks on both sides also lit up. Ji Xiaoyi and Xuanyue were using the obelisks to bombard the Sky Clan skeletons.
Yue Xingling had also benefited quite a bit from following Xuanyue. Her large eyes darted around, and she discovered that there were many people in the dark who were gritting their teeth in anger. However, there was nothing they could do. She immediately admired Li Xiang for coming up with such a despicable plan.
Only he would do something like this without caring about the risks. However, his gamble had paid off!
However, luring the Sky Clan skeletons over was a troublesome matter. She and Xuanyue had almost been surrounded by a group of Sky Clan skeletons a few times. Fortunately, her sister's strength was astonishing, and she was able to drag her out of the pile of skeletons.
The two of them were both injured. These Sky Clan skeletons were just as Ji Xiaoyi had said. They were too powerful, and it was impossible for a single person to deal with them. However, compared to the large amount of Strengthening Points they had gained, these small injuries were nothing. They would recover after soaking in the hot spring.
However, the Defense Spire wasn't omnipotent. Its attacks were single-target, and there was a time gap. After the first Sky Clan skeletons that charged into its attack range was killed, before the second attack could come, the Sky Clan skeletons had already surrounded Li Xiang.
They attacked at the same time, either attacking Li Xiang or attacking the defense spire!
Li Xiang punched out, knocking one of the skeletons back several steps. On the other side, the other skeletons had already struck the Defense Spire several times, shaving off a few dozen more health points.
After a round of attacks, Li Xiang was drenched in sweat. Finally, he had cleaned up the Sky Clan skeletons that he had lured over.
The Defense Spire's white light had weakened significantly, and it was no longer able to kill a single Sky Clan skeleton.
Now, he would have to think carefully about how to lure more monsters.
He took a few deep breaths, but was still quite satisfied with this strategy. He looked up and saw that the Defense Spire's health was fixed at 9125, while the top and bottom lanes were at 9844 and 9812, respectively.
He had plenty of health, but his attacks were getting weaker and weaker. At this rate, if he lured over too many skeletons or elite Sky Clan warriors, it would be difficult to clean up the mess.
He had thought that there would be a lot of trial-takers who would object if he kept doing this, but no one stepped forward to interfere.
There were quite a few people who were secretly dissatisfied, but they had all learned their lesson. Those who had been able to last until now were all elites, and after seeing Li Xiang's strength and methods, no one was willing to take the lead.
After all, it wasn't unacceptable to lose one or two hundred health points this time.
After resting for a while, Li Xiang ran back to the battlefield to lure more Sky Clan skeletons. When he arrived at the graveyard, he discovered that most of the trial-takers who had run into the Fog of War had died.
They had thought that the Sky Clan skeletons would be affected by the Fog of War like them, but the truth was that they were the only ones who would lose their vision. The skeletons were completely unaffected. Many of them didn't even have time to communicate with the mark before becoming a meal for the skeletons.
After devouring a trial-taker, the skeletons would become more solid, which was not a good sign.
At this rate, the longer they lived, the stronger the skeletons would become.
The elite Sky Clan warriors were as strong as Level-3 Magicians. In a one-on-one fight, Li Xiang wouldn't be able to kill them without taking any damage.
The longer this dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for both sides. When the time came, they wouldn't even have to kill each other. Just the Sky Clan skeletons pouring out of the Polar Night would be enough to destroy them.
Li Xiang quickly walked forward. Suddenly, he saw Xuanyue and Yue Xingling running at top speed. They had lured quite a few Sky Clan skeletons over. Due to Xuanyue's cold aura, the skeletons' movements were much slower. She first lured a large wave of skeletons, then had Yue Xingling use her agile movements to lure a portion of them to the defense tower.
Yue Xingling was faster than Xuanyue, and her movements were much smoother. With the two sisters working together, their efficiency gradually caught up to Li Xiang's.
"Xuanyue, give me some!" Li Xiang's black eyes flashed. The corner of his lips curled up as he shamelessly took the spoils of their battle.
Xuanyue was slightly annoyed. She glared at him, but still gave a small portion of the Sky Clan skeletons to Li Xiang.
On the other side, Yue Xingling waved her fists, cursing her sister from afar for siding with outsiders. She wanted nothing more than to take all the Sky Clan skeletons for herself and not give a single one to Li Xiang.
These were all enhancement points that would make anyone jealous. After tasting the sweetness of the enhancement points in the previous two environmental changes, no one was willing to share their gains with others.
Xuanyue's physique was special, and she was especially eye-catching in her giant form. As a result, she lured the skeletons much faster than Li Xiang. Li Xiang was indeed taking advantage of her.
The two looked at each other and smiled. Just as Li Xiang was about to turn and head towards the middle, something happened!
A black figure flashed past, his expression somewhat panicked as he desperately tried to get close to Xuanyue.
Upon closer inspection, they realized that this man also wanted to use the defense tower to earn enhancement points. However, he was not strong enough. The Sky Clan skeletons behind him were about to catch up. Moreover, the one chasing after him was not an ordinary Sky Clan skeleton, but a terrifying elite Sky Clan warrior!
He was clearly trying to get Xuanyue to do his dirty work!
