Chapter 83: S Genius Squad Crashes?

In the exam rules stated by the examiner earlier, there was no mention of a BOSS existing in this Peak Secret Realm.

However, since it wasn't mentioned, it didn't rule out the possibility of one.

It was just unclear what kind of powerful BOSS it was, as even his B-Grade contracted servants were struggling to hold it off.

Zhou Chu crumpled the food bag in his hand into a ball, stuffed it into his Storage Space, and crept toward the direction where his servants had been killed.

Not long after, a fully armed five-person squad appeared within his line of sight.

Judging by the equipment on these five, the quality was not low; it was clear that everyone was from a wealthy background.

And judging by the skills they used, they were not ordinary Soul Professional skills either.

Only then did Zhou Chu recall that he had indeed seen this five-person squad earlier at the Secret Realm Plaza.

According to the discussions of other examinees, these five were examinees from Daxia City, hailed as the Daxia 5S Genius Squad.

That is to say, all five of them had bound an S-rank Soul Profession.

Originally, Zhou Chu hadn't found S-rank Soul Professions to be all that strong.

Now, seeing five S-rank Soul Professions combined, they did indeed look very strong.

These five were also hailed as the "Stars of Tomorrow" of Shenxia; not only were they the most formidable competitors for Shenxia University in this competitive exam, but they were also the cream of the crop among the entire young generation of Soul Professionals in Shenxia, attracting attention from all sides.

Zhou Chu squinted as he sized up these five genius Soul Professionals, while in his heart, he was thinking about what method to use to harvest them.

Presumably, these five had been invincible throughout this assessment and must have earned quite a few Assessment Crystals.

As for those B-Grade contracted servants, they could only be considered the lowest-level cannon fodder to Zhou Chu for now; he hadn't even summoned the real heavy hitters yet.

If he just summoned one God-level servant, these 5 geniuses would be wiped out in one wave.

Since that was the case, Zhou Chu suddenly felt that this forest seemed a bit empty; it seemed that having a few more statues wouldn't be bad.

Thus, with a wave of his hand, Zhou Chu summoned Pain Banshee Xiduo from the Hero Tomb, who had not been out for battle in a long time.

When it came to making statues, especially ice sculptures, Xiduo was currently a professional.

I choose you!

To be honest, with so many God-level servants, it was really hard to decide who should be the one to perform.

Meanwhile, through the efforts of the 5 geniuses, they finally finished off all those dozen or so B-Grade contracted servants.

"Let me handle the looting!"

Shadow Blade Assassin Yuan Wei hadn't spent much effort from start to finish, but only when he saw the monsters were almost killed did his courage grow, and he snuck in to harvest a Grave Digger.

Seeing the ground full of monster corpses, he was even more excited and danced about, running over in a flash to start looting the corpses.

"Nothing?"

"Nothing here either?"

"Still nothing?"

"How is there still nothing?"

"Damn it, how is there absolutely nothing?"

Yuan Wei searched through all the monster corpses in one breath; let alone Assessment Crystals, he didn't even find a single hair from the monsters.

"Captain, we didn't kill a bunch of fake monsters, did we! We spent so much effort, and didn't get a damn thing!"

He sat on the ground in a slump, his whole person instantly EMO!

"How is that possible?" Bai Fei had exhausted almost all his Soul Power in this battle; hearing Yuan Wei say this, he dragged his exhausted body over and said, "You kid aren't trying to hog it all, are you, deliberately lying to us that you didn't get anything!"

"You'd better not try those petty thieving skills of yours in front of us; if I find out you dare to hide anything, you'll be sorry!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Wei immediately became anxious.

He stood up from the ground with a "whoosh," his face flushed red as he loudly defended himself: "Bai Fei, don't you go making false accusations! Am I that kind of person? I clearly searched through all those monster corpses just now; there really is nothing, not even a single hair, so what the hell would I be hiding!"

Seeing the two start their bickering mode again, Captain Lan Ya frowned, stood up, and searched through the monster corpses once more.

Indeed, she found nothing.

She didn't believe Yuan Wei had the guts to use his stealing technique to embezzle these crystals.

After all, they were teammates in the same squad; even if one took more, they would still split it evenly or share it among themselves.

"Haven't you guys noticed that we didn't get any experience after killing these monsters?"

At this moment, Min Ye, who was on the side, suddenly said.

His words awakened the dreamer.

His remark made the other four freeze in surprise.

That's right.

Monsters in the Peak Secret Realm give experience.

Yet these monsters in front of them, which were ridiculously strong, didn't drop a single bit of experience.

This seemed a bit contrary to common sense.

"Leng Jian, what do you think?" For a moment, Lan Ya, as the captain, couldn't figure it out either, so she could only ask the Marksman, who was always calm-headed.

Leng Jian pondered for a moment and shook his head.

But just as the five were sitting on the ground, completely baffled by what had happened, they suddenly felt a cold chill spreading out.

As the chill grew more intense, a layer of frost gradually condensed on the surrounding trees and grass.

It was as if the entire forest was about to be frozen by the frost.

"Are you all prepared to welcome the cold torment?"

Suddenly, a woman's voice rang out abruptly, like icy spikes, piercing deeply into the hearts of the five.

The five looked in the direction the voice came from, but saw nothing; their eyes were filled with frozen frost.

The next moment, countless cold iron chains shot out from the gloom, carrying a biting chill, whistling toward the five.

Those chains were covered in thick layers of ice, flickering with a ghostly cold light in the dim environment, as if they were soul-reaping chains from hell.

Where the iron chains swept past, the ground was covered in a thick layer of ice, and the five members of the Daxia City genius squad were instantly turned into five ice sculptures, remaining in their previous postures and frozen there forever.

From the very moment they were frozen, the five of them did not even know what had happened, and just like that, they were sent out of the Secret Realm in confusion.

Five geniuses from Daxia City, hailed by the people as the "Stars of Tomorrow" of Shenxia, had actually capsized in such a manner.

Seeing these five ice sculptures, a lewd smile even appeared on Zhou Chu's face.

There was not much time left before the assessment ended; it was time to go and scavenge the Assessment Crystals on their bodies.

Zhou Chu retracted Xiduo back into the Hero Pool, then took a few steps forward to pick up the Assessment Crystals that had fallen to the ground.

But just at this moment, a holy radiance began to flicker on one of the ice sculptures.

The light grew brighter and brighter, as if a powerful force was surging within the ice sculpture, attempting to break through the shackles of the ice.

Zhou Chu sensed something unusual, turned his head abruptly, and his heart tightened suddenly.

Could it be that these five people still had some trump card?

He hurriedly turned around, only to discover that the female Warrior had somehow melted the layer of ice on her body; she was now steaming all over, and she looked at Zhou Chu with eyes full of shock.

"You, what on earth are you?!"

The shock on the female Warrior's face had not diminished in the slightest, but she still instinctively raised the greatsword in her hand and slashed down toward Zhou Chu.
