Chapter 404

"We held on!"

The remaining people, including Wang Xuan, were overjoyed.

The S-rank skill Hand of God could be said to be Zhou Yi's most powerful skill.

Only by withstanding this one skill would they have a chance to keep fighting!

"Held on?"

Zhou Yi raised his sword-shaped brows. "This has only just begun!"

"Sacred Storm!"

"Light's Punishment!"

Boom—

A massive storm of holy light gathered and appeared among Wang Xuan and the others, gale winds howling, holy light running rampant!

In the sky, a golden thundercloud likewise appeared, continuously hurling down bolts of thunder and lightning!

Every single strike eliminated at least one contestant!

At the same time, Zhou Yi's entire body transformed into a phantom as he charged forward.

"Die, all of you!"

Zhou Yi swung a giant golden axe radiating golden light, like a bulldozer, hacking again and again at the machines and summons closing in around him.

And every swing of his giant axe could kill at least over a dozen summons or machines! Xi.

Slicing!

Slicing!

Whoosh—

Whoosh—

Above the broad plains of the Emerald Green Forest.

A golden thundercloud was continuously raining down bolts of lightning as thick as water buckets!

A colossal storm, condensed from holy light and standing over thirty meters tall, raged back and forth.

The entire plain seemed to have plunged into doomsday, with student contestants being eliminated one after another amid the thunder and storm.

The tall figure wielding a giant axe in the distance looked like a god descending to the mortal world.

No matter what level of machine or summon it was, it took only a single axe.

"So...... so strong!"

Wang Xuan, seated inside the cockpit of the Arbiter mech, watched this scene in shock.

He knew Zhou Yi was very strong — after activating his bloodline Secret technique, he could even slay Legend Rank magical beasts.

When deciding on the alliance of the nine academies, he had already prepared himself to fight Zhou Yi.

However......

It was only when he truly faced Zhou Yi that he realized what a terrifying power this was!

There were a full 48 contestants here!

These 48 people were not ordinary professionals — they were top geniuses from across the nation, all at least level 17!

A group like this gathered together would be enough to stride across the Emerald Green Forest unopposed!

But now......

Wang Xuan looked at the screen inside the cockpit.

This Arbiter mech gathered together all kinds of advanced technology, and could analyze and mark opponents' strength on the screen.

And at this moment, the screen prominently displayed a series of strength analyses.

This series of strength analyses converged together, ultimately producing an 'Extremely Dangerous' marker.

Beside it, there was also a 0% win-rate analysis.

"Win rate...... 0%?"

Wang Xuan gave a bitter smile.

The Arbiter mech would not only tally its own strength, but also tally the comprehensive strength of the strongest around it.

In other words, according to the intelligent system's analysis, even if all these people combined their strength, they were still no match for Zhou Yi.

Not even the slightest possibility of victory!

"Had I known it would be like this, there was no need to ally the nine academies at all."

Shaking his head, Wang Xuan also knew that regretting now was useless.

Then his gaze hardened, and he immediately piloted the Arbiter to speed toward Zhou Yi.

"At this stage, even if we clearly know we'll be defeated, we can't give up!"

Whoosh—

Zhou Yi, besieged by numerous summons, swept his axe in a wide arc — the blade, like lightning, sliced across the bellies or heads of the magical beast summons.

But without exception, after such a swing, copious fresh blood would inevitably spurt out!

This made the summoner contestants, protected within by the mages in the distance, heartache beyond measure.

One had to know —

A summoner strength was roughly equal to the strength of their contracted magical beasts.

The stronger the contracted magical beast, the stronger they were.

And these contracted magical beasts, one and all, were ones they had contracted only after enduring countless hardships.

Yet now, Zhou Yi was slaughtering them as easily as chopping melons and cutting vegetables.

How could they not feel the heartache?

"Zhou Yi!"

With a roar, Wei He charged forward, battle blade in hand.

His eyes were blood-red, his entire body shrouded in a crimson protective aura.

Clearly, his Berserk skill and Battle-Madness talent had both been activated!

Around him were also several warriors and knights, some wielding blades or swords, others shields.

"Blazing Slash!"

The broad battle blade wreathed in crimson flame carved a scarlet arc through the air, hacking toward Zhou Yi.

Wei He's face was utterly savage, as if this single strike had gathered every ounce of his strength!

Zhou Yi's expression was as indifferent as ever, and the thick, long Blood-Weeping Battle Axe, sheathed in ice, came chopping down toward Wei He as well.

"The moment he takes this axe, Zhou Yi will have to bear the damage from the other contestants' attacks!"

"We've got six of us here. Even if we can't eliminate Zhou Yi in one go, we can still grievously wound him!"

Wei He's slash looked like the fiercest offense, but in truth it was meant to draw Zhou Yi's strike!

And with his Battle-Madness talent's 80% damage reduction, he was confident he could take that axe!

Clang—

Just as he was thinking this, a tremendous force traveled along the battle blade and into his arm.

At the same time, an overwhelming power of ice also surged up from the battle axe!

The battle blade, wrapped in crimson flame, along with his arm, was instantly frozen into solid ice!

Solid ice is hard, but also brittle!

When solid ice meets tremendous force, the result is very simple......

Boom!

Wei He's two hands gripping the battle blade instantly dissolved into a spray of blood-red ice mist!!

With just one axe, his forearms along with both hands were simply gone!

"Aaargh!!"

The searing agony of losing his arms made Wei He let out a scream, and also caused the surrounding contestants, who had been launching their own attacks, to falter for a beat.
