The development of the battle was not out of his expectations. Slardar immediately gave the order for a full-scale charge. After sacrificing a number of his men to withstand two rounds of Flame Explosion from the Twin-headed Ogre Mage and entered Charge range, a wave of Salted Fish Spikes overturned the Ogre.
More than ten Transcendent Great Naga magicians went after the two-headed ogre magician. Li Shengyuan sent out a large number of ogres to stop them, but they did not target the two-headed ogre at all. Instead, they used Salted Fish Thrust's characteristic of being able to charge without a target, and a wave of long-distance charges broke through the interception and reached the two-headed ogre magician.
Then, these two-headed ogre magicians were extinguished. An even more powerful Transcendent opponent was right in front of them, and there was no way they could free up their hands to continue bombarding the battlefield.
At this point, although his men suffered huge losses from the two waves of Flame Explosion, and his total military strength was less than a quarter of Li Shengyuan's, he still had seventeen Transcendent Great Naga magicians. The remaining Great Naga magicians were also much stronger than the ogres, and their raw power was still superior to the ogres.
The situation was basically set, and victory was in sight.
Lin Xiao smiled as he looked down at the battlefield, occasionally glancing at Li Shengyuan in the distance. Although it was a little difficult, he still won in the end.
The last chaotic battle lasted for three whole hours, mainly because the ogres were too tenacious, especially the eight two-headed ogre magicians. In terms of vitality, they were not inferior to the Transcendent Naga magicians, but they were not as domineering as the Overlord Body.
Even the Hunting Whale Knight, who was also a Transcendent, could not kill them in one hit.
At the same time, Lin Xiao also discovered a weakness of Salted Fish Thrust in this battle, and that was that this skill was a piercing attack. It was a godly skill against low-level enemies, but against large enemies with strong vitality, its lethality was a little weak.
One hit could easily penetrate the two-headed ogre magician's body, but with the two-headed ogre magician's extraordinary physique and vitality, this attack was not fatal at all.
Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes and thought to himself. Perhaps he could create a powerful slash skill for Great Naga, specifically to deal with large opponents with strong vitality.
Anyway, he still had two units of Creation Energy, so he could give it a try in the future.
"Mm, I'll write it down as a backup option."
He nodded and focused on observing the battlefield.
Another half an hour later, Li Shengyuan's army was completely annihilated as the Two-headed Ogre Magician, who had the most tenacious vitality, was surrounded and killed by a few Transcendent Great Naga Magicians.
Lin Xiao didn't have it easy either. In the end, there were less than three hundred Murlocs and two hundred Great Naga Naga Hunting Whale Knights left. Even two Level Six Great Naga Naga Hunting Whale Knights had died, all of them killed by the Flame Explosion of the Twin-headed Ogre Magi.
Although the Mighty Body was strong, it was not invincible.
After the battle ended, Lin Xiao thought about the battle just now. Li Shengyuan was indeed the strongest opponent he had ever faced. The difference in strength between the two was very small.
Although he still had so many of his main forces left in the end, that was because this was a field battle. There was no terrain that he could use to his advantage, so he couldn't unleash his opponent's strength at all. If it were any other terrain, as long as there was a bit of terrain that he could use, it wouldn't be so easy for him to win.
After the battle ended and a short rest, the second round began quickly.
As usual, Lin Xiao chose the terrain of the plane. He casually chose the default and looked up at Li Shengyuan in the distance, but he saw the corner of his mouth slightly curled up into a sly smile. He frowned and couldn't figure out what he meant at that moment.
But he quickly understood why his opponent was smiling like that. Because when the terrain of both sides was confirmed, the map that appeared in the virtual plane was a Sheep Intestine Canyon that went from the bottom left corner of the map to the top right corner of the map. He knew what his opponent was planning.
Yes, Li Shengyuan felt that he couldn't win with absolute strength, so he played a little trick and chose the Sheep Intestine Canyon terrain when choosing the map.
According to the default rules of the summer camp, the challenge map was usually the default, starting from flat terrain like plains or wastelands.
If both sides chose the terrain, the terrain that appeared would be a combination of the super complicated terrain that both sides chose. It was easy to create some terrain that neither side was used to, so everyone agreed to start with the plains and wastelands.
If one side chose a favorable terrain in the challenge, it was usually a default that they couldn't beat the other side.
Of course, this was useless. Whether or not they agreed to it didn't affect the outcome. The challenge only looked at the results.
Sheep Intestine Canyon …
Lin Xiao frowned and glanced at the mountain top. There was only a Sheep Intestine Canyon that was less than a hundred meters wide at the center and only a dozen meters at the narrowest. There were cliffs on both sides. He looked up again at the smug Li Shengyuan and chose to surrender.
There was no way to fight. There was no way to fight at all.
His opponent only had to put the cannon fodder in front, and the ten two-headed man-eating Magicians would stand in the middle and continuously throw Flame Explosion. They would be able to flatten the entire path. There was no way to fight at all.
He couldn't say anything about this. His opponent only broke the default rules and didn't violate the rules of the summer camp. He could only say that he was careless and didn't pay attention when confirming the terrain.
With two victories each, Lin Xiao chose the water terrain for the next three most crucial battles.
Since his opponent didn't follow the rules, he definitely didn't have to show mercy. He chose the terrain that his clan tribe was best at.
Both sides confirmed. Soon, a stunning terrain appeared in front of him.
Lin Xiao looked at the simulated terrain in front of him with his mouth wide open. After a while, the corners of his mouth slowly curved into a long arc. He looked up and saw the equally stunned Li Shengyuan. He suddenly reached out and pressed his hand to his forehead and laughed.
"This is retribution!"
He chose the water terrain, and Li Shengyuan probably chose the mountains and valleys. So, both sides chose to combine, forming a strange terrain that was a mixture of countless broken mountains, water, and flat land.
Small mountains with smooth cross-sections were surrounded by water. Occasionally, there would be a piece of land in the water. Sometimes, the grass would be submerged by shallow water. Sometimes, there would be a large piece of flat land with a mountain on one side and water on the other. One would have to swim to get to the other land.
In short, this was a chaotic terrain. Although the different open spaces and grasslands weren't completely blocked by mountains and there were paths to go, many places were blocked by water. One had to swim to get there.
So, Lin Xiao said that it was retribution after looking at the terrain. It was that this terrain was Li Shengyuan's weakness. Just like how his opponent chose the Sheep Intestine Canyon to suppress him. Now, Li Shengyuan's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
This was one of the reasons why the terrain had to be chosen by default. Different races had different suitable terrains. If both sides chose terrains that were suitable for their clan tribe, it was easy to create this kind of deceptive terrain when combined.
This wasn't considered strange. If one side chose the terrain of the underground world, and the other side chose the terrain of the normal surface, then some more ridiculous maps would appear. One side would have no way to fight at all.
At this time, Li Shengyuan had already sent his clan tribe into the battlefield with a dark face. Fortunately, although the terrain was strange, there was a large open space for both sides' clan tribe to enter at both ends of the plane. It was basically surrounded by mountains on three sides. There was only a narrow valley exit, and outside was a large body of water.
Li Shengyuan released all his clan tribe and sent cannon fodder to block the valley entrance. It seemed that he wanted to defend this place to the death and had the idea of defending and counterattacking.
It was a pity that this was impossible.
With the order of the epic hero Slada, many murloc Naga rushed out of the valley entrance like a swarm of bees and plunged into the water. They cheered along the twisting and turning water path in the plane.
This path was super twisting. The straight path wasn't very long, but the twisting and turning made it very long.
After spending more than an hour on the road, the army stopped at a body of water not far from the valley where Li Shengyuan's clan tribe was born.
Slada climbed up the mountain to observe the terrain. He ordered the murloc warlocks to start summoning water elementals.
One by one, water elementals were summoned. After four waves, more than four thousand water elementals were accumulated. Then, the warlocks rested for a while and started summoning, pushing the lake water in the nearby body of water to slowly surge up.
The summoned water elementals also had the power of summoning. They worked together with more than a thousand warlocks to gather the lake water from further away. In the end, they gathered into a huge wave of more than thirty meters high and surged towards the valley entrance.
There was a wave of exclamations in the sky. Someone said with certainty.
"Li Shengyuan is bound to lose!"
"He's bound to lose the moment the terrain is revealed."
"This hero is quite powerful. He actually has such excellent command and adaptability."
"He defeated Li Shengyuan. This young man's strength is already ranked among the strongest in the second echelon of this summer camp. Whether it's strength or potential, he's so outstanding that he deserves a special invitation."
"Are you sure you want to take one out?"
Someone asked doubtfully.
"I remember that your Ether only has five specially-recruited slots this year?"
"Yes, I have two on hand now, but in reality, the second one might not even be needed."
"That's true. Those six have already been decided internally. There are more than ten people in the second echelon. It's already good enough to get one. Those below the second echelon don't have enough strength and potential. They're not worth a specially-recruited slot."
"You don't want it?"
"Yes, but I only have one specially-recruited slot. I wanted to give it to him, but I also found a good seedling just now. He also accepted the invitation."
"That's not a coincidence."
"Yeah, it's a pity that there are too few specially-recruited slots. Otherwise, I'd definitely fight with you."
"Hehe …"
While they were chatting, the battle in the plane was also nearing its end.
The Murloc Warlocks only summoned two waves of tides. The first wave rushed into the valley that was sealed on three sides and directly swept most of Li Shengyuan's cannon fodder out. Then, the second wave swept out all but ten of the Twin-headed Ogre Magicians. Under the influence of the Murloc Warlocks and the Water Elementals, the torrential river water formed an undercurrent whirlpool outside the valley. A large number of Murloc Naga dived into the water and dragged the enemies in, drowning them alive.
After that, there was no more after that.
There were only ten Twin-headed Ogre Magicians left. It was impossible for them to overturn the situation. The densely packed Murloc rushed into the valley with the waves and chopped them alive.
The battle was over. Lin Xiao's seat rose to Li Shengyuan's, while Li Shengyuan's seat fell to the Bronze level.
At this point, all the challenges in this stage were over. Six Mythical-quality five-star cards, one Primordial God Card, and two extra slots were in his hands.
Yes, it was not over yet because there were still contestants who had not completed their challenges. However, he was already in the bag. Next, Lin Xiao sat calmly on the silver throne, which was second only to the nine gold thrones. He sat and watched the other contestants challenge each other. Occasionally, he would look at the rostrum.
At this point, most of the contestants had completed their challenges. More than two-thirds of the contestants who did not have a seat had been eliminated. There were only two or three hundred people standing below the fifth level.
The host, Instructor Mo, was already standing on the rostrum. He smiled as he looked at the few remaining challenges. Occasionally, he would communicate with the academy's observers in the void and smile.
Suddenly, he tilted his head to one side.
