Firefly Journey

Chapter 210 The Contest of Prodigies (11)

He actually had accomplices? No wonder he was so fearless!

However, no matter how strong you two are, you won't fare well against a group of superhumans.

Unless you two reach the level of demigods or above, it is impossible for you to fight against overwhelming odds.

Below the level of demigod, the number of times one can complete awakening can indeed measure strength, but that is limited and cannot bring about a qualitative change.

Only demigods are the dividing line for those who transcend.

On another note, you're already a demigod, why would you participate in an academy competition?

No matter which faction you join, you'll be treated like an ancestor and worshipped!

Lin Yuanran rescued Lü Jianming from the predicament, and they were temporarily out of danger. However, his actions put both of them in a predicament.

Lu Jianming simply smiled in response.

"It's unnecessary. Whether I'm eliminated or not doesn't matter. The important thing is to keep my points."

The two reunited, and the crowd's offensive slowed down, giving them time to chat.

Lin Yuanran said, "As you said, it's true that I can run away with the Earth Element Crystal now, but what about after that? If I can't find other classmates, with my strength, I probably won't be able to hold on."

Lu Jianming thought about it and realized that made sense. Lin Yuanran's overall combat strength was only at the level of an average person, and he wasn't particularly outstanding among the many talented contestants.

Although Lu Jianming's cultivation level wasn't particularly high, his unparalleled swordsmanship talent and the various magical artifacts of the Chu royal family made him a figure of considerable importance.

With him around, Lin Yuanran will be safer.

However, how can we solve this problem that is so close at hand?

Leaving aside others, take the Dark Temple, which had its Earth Crystal stolen. They're definitely locked in a life-or-death struggle with the two of them now. It's either them eliminating you, or you eliminating them; there's no turning back.

As for the others, they had no hatred towards the two; they were simply coveting the Earth Element Crystal.

Lin Yuanran said in a low voice, "Why don't we just throw that thing out? If we keep it, we're really going to be eliminated."

Lu Jianming remained silent for a few seconds.

In fact, he knew all too well that this Earth Element Crystal was a hot potato; whoever tried to take it would get burned.

But if he always gives in, how can he accumulate points? Faced with this dilemma, he chose the most direct approach.

In retrospect, that was somewhat irrational.

Lu Jianming said, "We've already offended everyone; it's probably too late."

Lin Yuanran smiled: "Perhaps not entirely."

Lin Yuanran stepped forward, waving the Earth Element Crystal in his hand, and said, "Friends, my classmate was negligent just now. We are now at our wits' end and do not want to be eliminated prematurely. We are willing to hand it over in exchange for your cessation of action."

After saying that, Lin Yuanran didn't hold back at all. He directly conjured a fireball, wrapped the earth element crystal in it, and shot it onto a mound of earth like a soccer ball.

Seeing his resolute determination, the crowd discussed among themselves but did not launch another attack.

What's the point of relentlessly pursuing someone who doesn't want their things anymore?

Provoking their anger and inviting a counterattack would be a completely thankless task.

The Earth Element Crystal lay there quietly, and no one dared to take it anymore. After all, given the lessons learned from the Dark Temple and Lü Jianming, those who considered themselves inferior to them were unwilling to become unlucky.

The masses remained silent, but the Dark Temple did not.

Having been outmaneuvered several times, they were already burning with rage and were determined to eliminate you no matter what.

At this moment, Joanna, Philip, and the others realized that the two were quite strong and not easy to deal with, so they decided to go all out.

The five of them were positioned in five different directions, and each of them emitted a beam of light from above their heads, shooting straight into the sky and converging in mid-air.

Lin Yuanran asked, "Fight or run?"

Lin Yuanran actually preferred to run.

Tu Yuanjing no longer intends to participate. As long as the two of them avoid this turmoil and find their teammates step by step, with the overall strength of Class 29, they are in a class of their own, if not invincible.

Lü Jianming shook his head slightly.

The feud has been formed, and the two sides are locked in a life-or-death struggle. Even if the two are willing to back down, the Dark Temple may not be willing to let them go.

Lu Jianming's idea was correct. Long before they set off, Hantina had told everyone that she didn't expect any good ranking in the academy competition; her only goal was to do her best to help the Holy Maiden win first place.

Out of respect for the Temple Master's authority, Joanna's faction felt uncomfortable but dared not say anything.

No, she doesn't represent the Temple, so why should we assist her? On what grounds?

Later, when Wind Chime taught them a lesson at the church, it made them even more unhappy.

Now that I've encountered two fools, since I no longer need to worry about the rankings of the Dark Temple, I have nothing to fear. I'll make them pay the price!

Seeing the Dark Temple's formidable forces, the two knew their opponent was going all out. Without a chance to escape, they needed to strike first to avoid elimination.

Nip it in the bud before that bizarre oracle takes shape.

The two exchanged a glance, which was somewhat in sync, and without saying a word, they launched a two-pronged attack.

Although their routes were different, their goal was the same: the short-haired woman.

They also realized that the short-haired woman was the leader of the five, a fact evident from the fact that the long-haired man had just tried to shield her from a knife attack.

This time, Joanna was on guard and wouldn't give the two any opportunity.

She retreated quickly, while the four men, including Philip, formed a counter-encirclement around Lin Yuanran and his companion.

Lin Yuanran looked up at the faint light that had converged between them in the sky. As a result, he witnessed the change that was taking place.

Five beams of eerie light converged and merged into one, forming a huge sphere, like a strange eye watching the two of them.

Suddenly, a tentacle extended from the sphere and headed straight for Lin Yuanran!

Without time to think, Lin Yuanran covered his hands with flames and grabbed the tentacle.

The tentacles were easily severed by the scorching flames. However, the eerie giant sphere became restless and began to buzz.

"Oh no, it's going to explode!" Lin Yuanran suddenly shouted.

He initially thought the oracle was a control-type deity, but then he realized that the tentacles were too weak, so it was just a cover-up; the real killing move was yet to come.

Lu Jianming also realized something was wrong and quickly stepped back.

Joanna smiled slightly. In the face of the explosion, all beings are equal; just wait to be eliminated!

In order to ensure the ball would hit its target after exploding, Philip and his three companions rushed towards the two men.

This is a ruthless move—they'd risk their own elimination to ensure the other two are out!

Buzz!

The turbulent sounds from the giant sphere grew louder and louder, and finally, it erupted with a deafening roar!

Bang!

The sphere exploded, engulfing everything around it, and a huge sandstorm swept up the yellow sand.

Many contestants who didn't have time to dodge were caught in the crossfire.

Seeing that the two people at the center of the explosion were about to be eliminated, Lin Yuanran took out the "Fantasy Ledger" and used the defensive oracle reserved in it to block the damage.

On Lü Jianming's side, he also took out the jade pendant again, trying to minimize the damage.

Just then, amidst the sandstorm caused by the explosion, a faint light appeared in front of the two of them.

It comes from a noble girl from Radiant City.

Finne Roberts, a loyal ally, used her identity as a "fortune teller" to guide the two of them.
