Chapter 155

Perhaps he didn't even have the qualifications to stand before the other party, let alone fight them.

Now, he could only pray that Li Yao would emerge alive and completely defeat that unknown creature.

Otherwise,

once that creature radiating terrifying pressure emerged, none of the examinees present would be its match!

There was no doubt about that!

With this thought in mind,

Zhang Zhang Yucheng performed a flourish with his long sword and sheathed it.

He slowly bent his body into a horse stance.

All his momentum gathered in his right hand, which gripped the sword hilt.

[Heaven-Slaying Draw Sword Technique]

This was Zhang Zhang Yucheng’s ultimate skill. Once released, he would fall into a 24-hour state of weakness, and it required a full three minutes of charging time during which he could not move.

The price of such an extreme, harsh side effect was unprecedented power!

In his mind, the image of Li Yao facing countless monsters alone surfaced.

"You’ve already gone this far."

"Then I naturally cannot hold you back!"

However,

someone was faster than him.

After learning from Kujo Mase that Li Yao was sitting on the back of a giant dragon, and then witnessing with her own eyes the dragon flying into the cave,

followed immediately by the arrival of two terrifying auras,

Qin Qin Xuejun didn't need to think to reach the same conclusion as Zhang Zhang Yucheng.

She was naturally unwilling to accept this.

The two auras made her feel almost fearful.

Why should a Summoner dare to go over and face them alone?

That familiar energy fluctuation appeared on Qin Qin Xuejun once again.

The last time her release was interrupted midway, she had already been severely injured; now, doing it again, Qin Qin Xuejun could not withstand the skill’s backlash, and a mouthful of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.

Yet, Qin Qin Xuejun revealed a strange smile.

Manipulating her monsters, she emitted a sound that all examinees could hear.

"Leave all these bugs to me!"

"You bunch of weaklings! All of you, go deal with that big guy!"

This voice left all the examinees stunned.

Who are you?

You’re going to handle all the flying bugs in the sky?

And you want us to go deal with that monster that looks like a small mountain?

You’re seeking your own death, and you want us to be buried with you?

Only Mi Sha, Luo Ji, Ji Nie Yuan, and the others knew it was Qin Qin Xuejun’s voice.

Zhang Zhang Yucheng immediately shifted his target, locking all his energy onto the Bone-Splitting Larva.

Ji Nie Yuan also slowly stood up with the help of his teammates.

"So everyone is getting serious now."

His two single-handed hammers gradually merged, transforming into a massive war hammer nearly ten meters long.

Dragging the war hammer, Ji Nie Yuan walked toward the Bone-Splitting Larva.

Like him, top examinees such as Mi Sha and Shou Hunting Xixia also moved toward the Bone-Splitting Larva without prior agreement.

Once they left,

the remaining examinees felt their pressure increase significantly.

The flying insect monsters attacked them without restraint.

"Hey, hey, these big shots aren't actually going to believe that voice from just now, right?"

"Don't mess around. How could anyone possibly handle so many monsters alone? Besides, my health potions are almost out. If they leave, what are we supposed to do?"

"Damn it! The higher-ups haven't abandoned us, have they? Otherwise, why hasn't anyone come to support us by now? Do they have to wait for someone to die before they show up?"

"Support?"

"Wait!"

"Could that voice be the top-tier professional the little Sword Head mentioned earlier who was coming to support us?"

"Holy crap! It actually seems like it!"

"We examinees are only level twenty-something; how could anyone handle all these monsters alone? It must be a professional sent by the higher-ups!"

"You should have said so earlier! I feel like I can hold on for a while longer. Brothers, do you have any potions? Toss me two!"

"I only have two high-level potions left, I need them myself. Do you want intermediate health potions?"

"Give them to me quickly!"

"Healers, keep an eye on my health bar! I’m going all out!"

""

In an instant, the confidence of all the examinees soared.

Having support meant there was a chance of survival!

They all brought out their trump cards to fight the swarms of flying insect monsters.

Qin Qin Xuejun didn't keep them waiting long.

With her energy accumulated to a certain level, Qin Qin Xuejun floated into the air.

The seven puppets that were still fighting the flying insects stopped their movements, and a pale purple halo appeared on their bodies.

The next second,

the seven puppets’ mouths moved mechanically, and they spoke in unison with a bone-chilling, dry, mechanical voice:

"Secret Technique: Hundred Puppet Manipulation!"

Everyone was startled by this demonic sound and looked up at the sky.

They saw hundreds of small portals appearing behind each of the seven puppets.

In an instant, thousands of identical, eerie puppets appeared in the sky.

One gives birth to two, two to three, and three to ten thousand things.

Qin Qin Xuejun controlled the seven puppets, and then the seven puppets controlled all the other puppets!

This was the ultimate skill of the SSS-rank professional, Qin Qin Xuejun!

"You have to protect me when the skill ends later."

Qin Qin Xuejun sat on the ground, saying weakly.

However,

Kujo Mase was no better off than her!

Qin Qin Xuejun had summoned so many puppets at once; in order to help, Kujo Mase hadn't missed a single one, applying buffs to every single puppet.

This allowed Qin Qin Xuejun’s ultimate skill to unleash power far beyond the ordinary!

The two girls sat back-to-back like this.

"The rest is up to them," Qin Qin Xuejun muttered before falling into a deep sleep.

Kujo Mase gazed in the direction of the cave.

Li Yao-kun,

you should be able to come out alive, right?

With the help of thousands of puppets, the examinees felt much more relaxed for a while.

They only needed to stand behind the puppets and throw out a few skills to ensure their own safety.

However, they also knew that until that behemoth in the distance was completely dealt with, they weren't truly safe.

So they didn't slack off, helping the puppets clear the flying insect monsters as quickly as possible.

The good news was...
