Chapter 191

It was probably because of her strategic retreat! Thinking of this, even Yan Yuexin couldn't help but blush.

However, she didn't explain much. After all, the experience of having a blade held to her throat was indeed shameful enough, and it was understandable that she had some lingering trauma.

"The final teleportation," crossing the spatial node, Lu Li looked at the Minos Knight blocking the entrance to the third floor of the labyrinth and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Looking at it this way, I should be the first contestant to arrive here. Not bad luck."

As the words fell, Guanghui had already constructed half of a ship's hull. A large number of carrier-based aircraft filled the space, and the giant cannons on the bow were all aimed at the Minos Knight.

The next moment, the roar of artillery fire, accompanied by the carpet bombing of the bombers, directly engulfed the Minos Knight.

With the carpet bombing of the bombers and the pinpoint shooting of the ship's cannons, the Minos Knight guarding the entrance to the third floor of the labyrinth didn't even have time to activate its charge skill before it was blown over and defeated.

Although it shared the eight-star sequence with Guanghui, the gap in strength was obvious.

"Alright, time to go see the third floor of the labyrinth. I just don't know what kind of situation the third floor will be." Casually casting a Stripping Art on the defeated Minos Knight, Lu Li headed to the third floor with Guanghui.

Unexpectedly, the third floor of the labyrinth was a circle smaller than the second floor; one could see the end at a single glance. At the end stood a high platform, and a card emitting a special luster floated upon it.

"Is that the quest item that will decide the final winner of this Academy Battle?" Withdrawing his gaze, Lu Li swept his eyes across the third floor again and found there were no enemies here, which couldn't help but give him a sense of eeriness.

However, he didn't think too much about it; he simply stepped forward, took the card from the high platform, and then turned back.

"I hope Lu Li can successfully leave the Minotaur Labyrinth." Seeing Lu Li take the quest item from the third floor, there was no joy on Wen Xiuyuan's face; instead, it became much more grave.

After all, the next part was the focus of the Academy Battle. Only the contestant who successfully brought back the card serving as the quest item would be the final winner.

On the other side, Changsun Xuanjing, Mu Zhan, Xia Lantong, and Kou Shan did not lose their composure just because Lu Li was the first contestant to obtain the quest item; they simply continued to wait quietly for the next development.

It wasn't just the people on the rostrum; even the mentors of the four major academies and the eliminated students subconsciously focused their spirits at this moment.

【Announcement! Updating the latest coordinates for the quest item. The new coordinates are...!】

The contestants who were originally working hard in the second floor of the labyrinth to find the entrance to the third floor were all startled by this sudden voice in their ears.

Even the contestants who were in the middle of a battle subconsciously stopped their infighting.

"Someone has already reached the third floor and taken the quest item?" In an instant, many people thought of this; after all, only this possibility could explain why the coordinates of the quest item had changed!

"Damn it! This person's luck is too good; to think they passed such a complex second floor so quickly."

"This is trouble! Although I know the coordinates where the quest item has moved, with these spatial nodes blocking the way, it's possible I won't even be able to run into them."

"Since that's the case, I'll go back to the first floor and wait for the rabbit! To leave the ruins, one must pass through the teleportation array on the first floor!"

"Although the area of the first floor is larger than the second, without the delay of these spatial nodes, I will definitely run into them."

In just a few seconds, almost all the contestants had set off toward the first floor of the labyrinth.

Although finding the entrance to the third floor was very troublesome, the lowest among them had reached the Monarch Realm, and there were even some Kings; naturally, they remembered the way back.

"This is truly a bit unexpected." A flash of astonishment appeared on Ku Zimo's usually cold face, but he soon returned to normal: "I hope you are a contestant from our Northern Frontier. Otherwise, even if you have obtained the quest item now, I will not let you successfully take it out of the Minotaur Labyrinth!"

361. Then I'll Just Fight My Way Out

"Commander, there doesn't seem to be anyone here anymore." Returning to the second floor, Guanghui frowned and said suddenly: "It seems everyone is heading toward the first floor of the labyrinth."

When she first entered the third floor of the labyrinth, Guanghui did not withdraw the carrier-based aircraft deployed on the second floor; therefore, through these aircraft scattered everywhere, she quickly learned the movements of all the contestants.

"Not unexpected. After all, we knew from the beginning that as long as we obtained this quest item, we were destined to be besieged by the others." Lu Li waved his hand, not caring about this: "We also received the news of the coordinates just now."

"Then, Master, how do you intend to handle this?" Guanghui tilted her head, looking slightly cute.

"Aren't you asking what you already know?" Reaching out to pinch the fair little face of this white-haired ship girl, Lu Li said under the girl's coquettish gaze: "Since I can't hide, I'll just fight my way out."

His tone was very calm, as if he were stating something that was a matter of course, but a smile rose in Guanghui's eyes because she knew her commander was not boasting, but possessed sufficient strength and confidence!

"Even if you're joking, you should look at the situation clearly! You have to know that you aren't facing one or two opponents, but all the contestants!"

"To contend with so many opponents at once, even the strongest Ku Zimo probably couldn't do it. What does Lu Li have to be able to?"

"Since when did your Northern Frontier's Ku Zimo become the strongest? Besides, don't forget that Lu Li still has our Tianfu as his backing. The opponents he has to face next aren't as many as you imagine!"

"Yes, but does your Tianfu intend to fight our three major academies on your own? Don't be ridiculous, okay?"

The strength of the four major academies was originally on par. By what right does your Tianfu want to fight the three major academies on your own? By that ethereal luck?

Even Yan Yuexin couldn't help but have a flash of strangeness on her face. She knew that Lu Li also held a nine-star Magic Card, but that didn't mean he could ignore the contestants of the other three major academies at the same time.

Just Ku Zimo alone was a tough nut to crack! Not to mention that the contestants holding nine-star Magic Cards from the Yougong and the Mingdian hadn't been eliminated yet!

As for herself, uh, she should be considered an outlier; her luck was just not very good.

For a time, following Lu Li's statement, the ruins suddenly became filled with discussion.

"That really is quite enthusiastic!" Following the route they came by, Lu Li and Guanghui soon reached the entrance between the second and first floors. During this time, the two hadn't run into any contestants, but just as they entered the first floor, an attack came head-on.

Although there was more than one entrance and exit for the first and second floors of the Minotaur Labyrinth, some contestants were lucky enough to run into Lu Li.

And after confirming that the other party was not a contestant from their own academy, these people immediately took action.

Facing the incoming attack, the Thunder Dragon Beast transformed into lightning, dodging away with Lu Li and Guanghui, while Guanghui, in Lu Li's arms, had already raised her hand at this moment.

The next moment, a large number of carrier-based aircraft appeared under Guanghui's summoning. Clearly, this white-haired ship girl had no intention of holding back.

The carrier-based aircraft bombed the attackers who initiated the assault wave after wave, and the sound of explosions was incessant.

It wasn't until a short while had passed that this space became quiet again, but those Magic Card Masters from the three major academies who attacked Lu Li were also eliminated by Guanghui.

"Let's go!" Withdrawing the Thunder Dragon Beast and Guanghui, Lu Li summoned the Red-Eyes Black Dragon in the blink of an eye. The massive black dragon carried the two of them into the high sky and flew rapidly toward the labyrinth entrance.

Taking the land route would definitely lead to many attacks. Although Lu Li wasn't worried, there was no need to look for trouble for himself.

"Although taking the air route will reduce the probability of encountering enemies, the location of the labyrinth entrance must have already gathered quite a few contestants," sitting on the back of the Red-Eyes Black Dragon, Lu Li couldn't help but glance at the Eternal Land.

"Since that's the case, how about I just wipe them all out in one go?" A bold idea gradually took shape in Lu Li's mind.

While pondering, the figure of the Red-Eyes Black Dragon suddenly trembled. With its heart as the center, a freezing cold aura continuously spread, instantly eroding most of the dragon beast's figure.

Noticing this, Lu Li directly picked up Guanghui and jumped off the Red-Eyes Black Dragon. The next moment, the entire dragon body of the Red-Eyes Black Dragon was frozen and then shattered into pieces of ice.

However, soon, raging flames ignited from the ice shards. The Red-Eyes Undying Dragon emerged, and silver metallic reflective armor covered the illusory dragon shadow. The Red-Eyes Undying Black Iron Dragon swooped down and caught the falling Lu Li and Guanghui.

At the same moment, a large number of ice crystals covered the low-flying Red-Eyes Undying Black Iron Dragon and gradually spread, forming an ice-snow empire...

"Good!" In the ruins, the people from the Northern Frontier who saw this scene couldn't help but become excited.

When Lu Li first summoned the Red-Eyes Black Dragon to take the air route, they had the thought that he was taking advantage of a loophole.

But now, seeing Lu Li fall into Ku Zimo's ice-snow empire, they had the feeling that this was a sure win.

You have to know that Ku Zimo was the strongest in their Northern Frontier, and even the strongest in this Academy Battle!

Now that Lu Li was targeted by Ku Zimo, the ending would likely not be good. As for Lu Li's earlier statement about fighting his way out, they naturally wouldn't take it seriously.

Yes, you Lu Li might have had a brilliant performance at Tianfu, but this isn't Tianfu; it's a competition of the four major academies, and Ku Zimo isn't some piece of trash.

This point had already been verified many times in previous battles; the elimination of Yan Yuexin and Ou Hanxiang was the most powerful proof.

"This is trouble. Of all people to meet, why did it have to be Ku Zimo?" Unlike the excitement of the Northern Frontier crowd, the people from Tianfu looked at each other, especially Xu Zhiyun and Ou Hanxiang, who had personally experienced Ku Zimo's ferocity.

Even though Lu Li's strength was not bad, the crowd didn't have much confidence. After all, the strongest Magic Card Spirit Lu Li had summoned so far only reached the eight-star level.

"Don't think too much." Mentor Zhan Tai Mingyue spoke at the right time to stop everyone from letting their imaginations run wild: "Just keep watching. Lu Li is hiding deeper than you imagine."

When Lu Li fought against Wo Wenyao, Mentor Zhan Tai Mingyue was on the scene and saw with her own eyes the Throne Angel Beast easily take care of the Abyss Monarch, and the Abyss Monarch's strength had reached the nine-star legacy level!

The Throne Angel Beast could take care of the Abyss Monarch so easily; although there was the reason of attribute restraint, Mentor Zhan Tai Mingyue estimated its grade definitely exceeded the legacy level.

Even if it were just a nine-star collector's grade, taking care of the Ice Emperor Scorpion and the giant ice-snow python would be a piece of cake for Lu Li.

Thinking of this, even Mentor Zhan Tai Mingyue couldn't help but complain in her heart: this kid Lu Li is simply a freak even more outrageous than Meng Ningdie. Sure enough, they are two of a kind.

Uh!

Hearing Mentor Zhan Tai Mingyue's words, the people of Tianfu couldn't help but be stunned, and then they were filled with disbelief, because they had come up with a shocking conjecture!

362. Desire Demon Lord · Lilithmon

"A bit careless. I didn't expect to be ambushed." Being in the ice-snow world, Lu Li wasn't too panicked. He just fixed his gaze on Ku Zimo and the two Magic Card Spirits behind him, revealing a look of realization: "No wonder the Red-Eyes Black Dragon didn't even have time to detect the attack before it was killed in seconds."

Nine-star rare giant ice-snow python!

Nine-star legacy Ice Emperor Scorpion!

"The one who made the move just now must have been the Ice Emperor Scorpion, but this attack range is really quite long," withdrawing his gaze, Lu Li looked toward Ku Zimo.

Even facing dual nine-star Magic Card Spirits and a high-tier King, Lu Li didn't have many thoughts; he remained calm.

"A very special Magic Card Spirit. Even after being killed, it didn't die, but survived in another way, and its strength became even stronger than before," Ku Zimo's eyes reflected the figure of the Red-Eyes Undying Black Iron Dragon. Seeing the Red-Eyes Black Dragon transform into the Red-Eyes Undying Black Iron Dragon, a trace of imperceptible envy flashed in the depths of his eyes.

However, this trace of envy disappeared quickly. What isn't one's own is ultimately not one's own. Moreover, no matter how much the strength of Lu Li's Red-Eyes Undying Black Iron Dragon improved, it was still only an eight-star Magic Card Spirit. Compared to the giant ice-snow python and the Ice Emperor Scorpion, the gap remained huge.

Even if it is a dragon species, don't even think about making any waves in front of two nine-star Magic Card Spirits.
