Chapter 182: Sunset

As the battle on Li Luo's side was drawing to a close, in another place, the fierce fighting was also gradually entering its final stage.

This was a stretch of woodland that had been violently torn apart by raging phase force, with shattered trees strewn across the ground, showing just how intense the great battle that had erupted had been.

This was the battlefield of Qin Qin Zhulu's squad and Beside Yi Yi Lisha's squad.

Hoo.

A breath of icy frost-like air gently exhaled from the corner of Lv Qing'er's lips. She had already shed her Ice Silkworm Thread gloves, frost flowing across her slender frame, and the nearby leaves were all coated with a thin layer of cold air.

At this moment, she seemed to be in a state where she could not move. Looking closely, one would discover that some chains were wrapped around her body. The chains were formed from phase force and displayed a faint starlight hue.

However, under the erosion of the cold air, these starlight chains were rapidly growing thin and weak.

In the end, the cold air ground them down to nothing.

Only then did Lv Qing'er raise her beautiful, moving face, looking at Si Si Qiuying before her. The latter was likewise in a posture where she could not move, with sharp ice prisms extending out from the surrounding air, pointing at the vital spots all over her body. The moment she made the slightest unusual move, these ice prisms could directly take her life.

"Classmate Si Qiuying, it seems this time I've beaten you by just a little," Lv Qing'er said softly.

Si Si Qiuying bit her lip, somewhat unwillingly saying: "If it were at night, I wouldn't lose to you!"

Her own phase was the Star Phase, so beneath the starry night sky, her phase force would become more active and powerful. The current time period was not the best opportunity for her.

Lv Qing'er neither agreed nor disagreed. Saying these things now was meaningless—after all, she also wanted to say that in an icy, cold environment, her strength could likewise receive a boost.

Her gaze lifted, looking ahead, where the forest seemed to have been shoved aside by some terrifying thing, extending all the way deep into the woods.

That was the destruction caused by Qin Qin Zhulu.

"The Purple Radiance Squad truly is no simple matter," Lv Qing'er sighed inwardly. They had come this time targeting the "One Leaf Autumn Squad," originally relying on Qin Qin Zhulu's fearsome reputation. But who would have thought the other side was not afraid, and instead, with the aid of Si Si Qiuying's starlight phase force, blocked out the light pillar overhead, then launched a covert ambush, eliminating Yin Yin Yue from the squad in the very first exchange.

Fortunately, Qin Qin Zhulu truly lived up to his fearsome reputation. Even after losing one person, he still fought one against two, battling Yi Yi Lisha and Qian Ye alone.

On her side, she had faced Si Si Qiuying. After a fierce battle between them, she had narrowly gained the upper hand and won.

"I wonder how Qin Qin Zhulu is doing over there..." Lv Qing'er's willow-leaf brows slightly furrowed. After her great battle with Si Si Qiuying, her phase force was also nearly spent, and she had absolutely no strength left to help Qin Qin Zhulu.

"Although Qin Qin Zhulu is formidable, with Yi Yi Lisha and Qian Ye joining forces, they may not necessarily lose to him!" Si Si Qiuying also looked in that direction and spoke.

Although she had lost by a small margin here, it would not affect the overall situation. After all, even though Lv Qing'er had beaten her, she was powerless to provide further support.

As long as Yi Yi Lisha and Qian Ye could join forces to hold off Qin Qin Zhulu, even if they didn't win, as long as they protected themselves, that would count as a draw.

Lv Qing'er did not trade verbal barbs with Si Si Qiuying, and simply waited quietly.

This waiting did not last long. From deep within the dense forest, heavy footsteps suddenly came. Lv Qing'er and Si Si Qiuying both widened their beautiful eyes and looked.

Then they saw a burly figure walk out from the shade of the trees, a murderous aura rushing toward them. At this instant, even the birdsong in the forest abruptly fell silent.

That figure was Qin Qin Zhulu.

One could see that at this moment, Qin Qin Zhulu's body was covered in bloody wounds, looking extremely miserable, but his face was brimming with a rare smile, that smile filled with a sense of exhilaration.

"Thrilling!" Qin Qin Zhulu's laughter was like a tiger's roar, reverberating through the mountains and forests. He casually tossed the pouch in his hand toward Lv Qing'er; inside were the battle merit badges obtained from Yi Yi Lisha and the others.

Lv Qing'er caught the pouch and breathed a sigh of relief.

Beside her, Si Si Qiuying's pretty face went deathly pale, and she could not help saying: "How is it possible? Even the captain and Qian Ye joining forces couldn't stop him?!"

"What kind of monster is this!"

At another battlefield, the situation was extremely heated. Bai Bai Doudou, Seeing Yu Lang, and Qiu Luo were sprinting through the mountains and forests, the wind whistling past, going at full speed.

And the expressions of all three were somewhat unpleasant, because behind them, a full dozen-plus Gold Radiance squads had formed up and were madly pursuing them.

From time to time, blocking figures from Gold Radiance squads would also appear ahead, forcing them to constantly change direction.

Looking as wretched as stray dogs.

"Damn it, these people have gone too far. How did so many of them show up? Have they no decency!"

Seeing Yu Lang's face went pale, because he could hear the voices coming from behind: "Beat Seeing Yu Lang, beat Seeing Yu Lang!"

Seeing Yu Lang was both panicked and furious. Were these people stupid? In this squad, he was clearly just a tool. Even if they had anger, they shouldn't be taking it out on him.

"There's no road ahead." Suddenly, Bai Bai Doudou spoke, her expression somewhat complicated.

Seeing Yu Lang and Qiu Luo hurriedly looked, and sure enough saw that ahead had become a cliff, with drifting clouds and mist, clearly at no small height.

From behind, Gold Radiance squads leapt in one after another, their expressions unfriendly.

Qiu Luo swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said: "How about... we hand him over to them?"

Seeing Yu Lang looked at Qiu Luo in shock. WTF, are you even human? I've contributed so much to this team, and you still want to hand me over?

Qiu Luo said: "Anyway, they can't really beat you to death. At most they'll give you a beating, and that way we can still keep our points."

Seeing Yu Lang shook his head violently: "If I do that, how will I get by in the future? Will I still have any face left?"

Qiu Luo curled his lip and said: "Face has nothing to do with you in the first place, right?"

The two were arguing here. Bai Bai Doudou helplessly waved her hand to stop them, saying: "Enough nonsense. Handing over a teammate is absolutely out of the question."

"Get ready to sprint at full power!"

She held her long spear in hand, and her eyes instead flickered with fervent, eager light.

Facing such an impassioned Bai Bai Doudou, Seeing Yu Lang and Qiu Luo were also helpless and could only grip their long spears tightly. The next moment, wind phase force rippled across the three of their bodies, and as the sound of breaking wind rang out, the three shot forth like an iron cavalry charge.

Ahead, over a dozen Gold Radiance squads of no weak strength also shouted one after another, forming line after line of defense, meeting the three's death charge.

However, just as both sides were about to collide, the light in this world suddenly grew somewhat dimmer. Then everyone saw the setting sun on the horizon completely sink below the skyline at this moment.

The sun had set.

All the students were stunned for a moment, then simultaneously let their tense bodies relax little by little.

The first ranking battle was over.

Seeing Yu Lang and Qiu Luo both simultaneously heaved a great sigh of relief, while Bai Bai Doudou's eyes showed regret.

Seeing Yu Lang dry-coughed once, went up to meet those resentful Gold Radiance squads, and regardless of the expressions on the other side, directly threw his arms around the shoulders of the two.

"We're all friends after the fight. If there's a chance later, let's drink together. But you guys really are something, chasing the Purple Radiance Squad all over the mountain."

Flattered by Seeing Yu Lang, those two squad leaders were also a bit pleased with themselves, saying: "The Purple Radiance Squad has to fear numbers too... But that Seeing Yu Lang in your team is really too arrogant."

"By the way, what's your name?"

Yu Lang blinked and revealed a friendly smile.

"My name is Qiu Luo."
