Chapter 278

That crazy woman from the Qin family?

Ji Yuan thought secretly.

Although the Dragon Nation was full of hidden talents, Ji Yuan could only think of these three people who could defeat Lu Yucheng and eliminate him in such a short time.

With that woman's temperamental nature, he guessed she would make a move no matter who she met.

At this time, a row of rankings slowly emerged on the teleportation stone.

"Top ten in contest points."

"First place, Jiangzhou Li Yao, 50 points."

"Second place, Linbei City Qin Xuejun, 10 points."

"Third place, Lu Renbing, 10 points."

So far, Li Yao was the only one in the top ten to have gained extra points.

"Jiangzhou Li Yao."

A meaningful smile curled on Ji Yuan's face.

"It's this guy; his strength is indeed not bad."

"Boss," the practitioner beside Ji Yuan asked, "Li Yao's strength shouldn't be weak; in terms of threat, he's no lower than Zhang Yucheng and the others."

"Having eliminated four people in a row, his state probably won't be very good."

"Why not take this opportunity to go and deal with him first?"

Ji Yuan felt a stir and asked a girl in the team.

"Xiaoluo, can you find Li Yao's location?"

Hearing this, Sun Xiaoluo sat down on the spot and took out several oracle bone shells and a transparent crystal ball.

An SS-grade Astrologer practitioner, her combat power wasn't strong, but she possessed some abilities that were unimaginable to ordinary people.

Before long.

Sun Xiaoluo pointed at the blurry image displayed on the crystal ball and said.

"Southeast direction, he is walking toward the outermost edge of the Bone-Shattering Desert."

"But there is already a team chasing in Li Yao's direction."

"How is their strength?" Ji Yuan asked.

Sun Xiaoluo did some more operations on the crystal ball and then said with pleasant surprise: "Not weak, their paper strength is only a line weaker than ours!"

Ji Yuan looked at her, joy in both their eyes, and immediately said.

"Let's go, we're going too!"

Li Yao's strength was not weak; any team wanting to eliminate Li Yao would have to pay a certain price.

They could completely take this opportunity to sweep a team that was only a notch weaker than them out of the game!

It wasn't just Ji Yuan's team.

When Li Yao reached the top of the leaderboard, almost all the candidates noticed him.

Defeating the SS-grade practitioner Lu Yucheng in a short time.

Was enough to prove Li Yao's strength.

But in everyone's eyes, Li Yao might just be that much.

Daring to occupy the top of the leaderboard just as the contest started.

Now, everyone knew that Li Yao possessed the ability to eliminate SS-grade practitioners.

Those top teams composed of SS-grade practitioners, how could they tolerate the existence of such a threat?

If on the deck, everyone discussing dealing with Li Yao was just talk.

Then now, someone might truly be about to take action.

The nail that sticks out gets hammered down.

The earlier one exposes their strength, the easier it is to be targeted.

Preserving strength to the maximum, and then erupting fiercely when others are exhausted to win the championship in one fell swoop.

This was the main theme of the contest.

"Sister! Look at the teleportation stone!"

At this time.

The Shang sisters, relying on some means, successfully joined up.

Shang Zijin leisurely tidied the hair that had been blown away by the wind while falling, and joked: "What, has Li Yao been eliminated?"

"No, he's first," Shang Yana said with a worried face.

"First?"

Quickly glancing at the teleportation stone, Shang Zijin frowned slightly.

It had only just begun; wouldn't it be too early?

Both were sharp-minded people, and Shang Yana hurriedly said: "Let's go, let's hurry and find classmate Li Yao; we must help him!"

"Help my foot!"

Shang Zijin slapped Shang Yana's head in annoyance.

"Honestly farm monsters, gain points, and then honestly hide until the contest ends."

"That's what we should be doing."

"As for Li Yao, if we run into him, we'll help; if we don't, we can't help it."

"With our strength, encountering anyone carries the risk of being eliminated."

"Take care of ourselves first."

On the other side.

In a deep forest.

Two incredibly beautiful girls, one sitting on a tree branch, one standing under the tree, stood facing each other.

Miss Jiutiao Meise's cold voice sounded faintly.

"How about it, are you willing to accept the conditions I mentioned?"

On the tree branch, a little girl with two braids was swinging her fair little legs, showing an appearance of serious thought.

"You mean, whatever I want, you can give me."

"As long as I protect you throughout the contest?"

"Not protection," Miss Jiutiao Meise frowned slightly, correcting her, "it's assistance."

Because of the special nature of her class, if Miss Jiutiao Meise didn't have a Summoner by her side, she would definitely be in the weakest tier among SS-grade practitioners.

So before participating in the contest, she had made plans in advance.

This only SSS-grade Puppet Master in the Dragon Nation was her target for this trip.

The other party liked to collect top-tier equipment.

This was well-known, and even the Qin family couldn't satisfy her appetite.

And she happened to have a bit of "money power."

A Puppet Master, although not as compatible as a summon, could still unleash seven or eight tenths of her ability.

"It's all the same anyway!"

Qin Xuejun leaped down from the tree branch.

Her fingers pulled on transparent magic threads.

A bizarre white-clothed puppet instantly appeared in front of Miss Jiutiao Meise.

Miss Jiutiao Meise's expression remained unchanged, and she said calmly: "So, you're refusing?"

The puppet opened its mouth bizarrely, and ventriloquism spoke: "I agree!"

"But I want a piece of Shi Shi-grade equipment."

"Fine."

As expected, it was indeed a lion's share, but it was within an acceptable range.

"Hee hee, I know a bit about your abilities too."

"If the two of us join forces, the champion and runner-up should be no problem!" Qin Xuejun hopped to Miss Jiutiao Meise's side, giggling and comforting her, "Looking at it this way, you taking out a piece of Shi Shi-grade equipment isn't a loss."

"Don't think about the championship," Miss Jiutiao Meise didn't think so, "there is someone, even if we join forces, we will definitely lose more than we win."

"Who?!"
