More importantly, nobody wants to take the risk.
Anyone with a brain knows that the first person to go through would be used as a human shield by those behind, with no way to retreat but only death.
"Let those who are confident in their abilities and are also recognized by others go in first."
Engaging the Ark for a dozen seconds to give everyone time to enter is the best course of action. Finally, a student proposed a relatively safe plan.
However, the person who truly wanted to step forward has yet to appear.
Everyone is assessing their own capabilities and considering whether it's worth taking the risk.
"I'll do it. I've heard a lot about Ark's reputation, and today I'm going to test your skills."
A combat student with two one-handed swords hanging from his waist slowly walked forward.
His voice was steady, carrying an undeniable confidence.
"Wei Beifeng, a key member of the Tiger City Military Academy."
"Wei Beifeng actually made an appearance."
"Let's see how arrogant he can be now."
As soon as Wei Beifeng stepped forward, the crowd began to murmur amongst themselves.
As the strongest student on the Tiger City Military Academy team, Wei Beifeng is considered by many to be a formidable fighter comparable to Jiang Yaoyue, the number one seed student of Dragon City Military Academy.
His appearance undoubtedly gave the trainees present a great deal of confidence.
Wei Beifeng's expression was calm as he slowly walked towards the crack, his steps steady, each one seemingly treading on the hearts of everyone present.
He said to the Ark inside the crack, "Ark, your prediction is amazing."
However, I can tell you that our [Shadow Stream Sword Sect] class excels at maneuvering in confined spaces.
Be careful, or I might catch you in the act.
"No wonder you're so confident, it turns out you're from the Shadow Stream Sword Sect." Fang Zhou smiled slightly.
These combatants sacrifice some armor but gain increased mobility and damage reduction skills, making them highly survivable.
Mages and warriors are natural enemies.
However, mages can usually restrain warriors through ranged attacks.
However, the Shadow Stream Sword Sect is an exception.
They are known as "mage killers," a very rare and powerful warrior class.
Since the beginning of the mythological era, all battles and history have proven one point.
There are no absolutely invincible professions, only relatively invincible professionals.
When skills and equipment are roughly the same, the relationships of counters between classes are interconnected, and there is no perfect class.
"Shadow Leap!"
Wei Beifeng roared angrily.
He was now at the edge of the spike trap, a shield appearing around his body to protect him, and then he suddenly leaped up.
At the same time, the moment he jumped up, Ark also fired a Bone Shackle with lightning speed.
With a "snap," the bone shackles struck Wei Beifeng's left leg.
Although his skill wasn't successfully interrupted, the necromantic energy attached to it severely disrupted his rhythm.
Everyone saw Wei Beifeng's body, which was jumping, suddenly spin around as if he had lost his balance.
Immediately afterwards, the second attack, Death Ripple, struck Wei Beifeng, who was spinning like a windmill.
However, due to Wei Beifeng's damage reduction skills, the damage dealt by Ark's attack was not high.
However, it is precisely this damage reduction skill that has become the culprit behind the spread of pain.
Due to the immense force of the jump and the powerful inertia, although Wei Beifeng tumbled in mid-air, his body still flew towards the ark.
Meanwhile, the Ark had begun to build up its power.
As Wei Beifeng tumbled and flew over Fang Zhou's head, Fang Zhou released the bone spear in his hand.
"boom--""
With a deafening roar, the bone spear struck Wei Beifeng in the waist, unleashing its immense power.
Wei Beifeng's body tumbled and was blasted into the sky by the enormous impact.
All the trainees gasped in surprise, hardly believing their eyes.
From the moment Wei Beifeng leaped into the air, Fang Zhou had already calculated the timing and force of each attack.
Although the Bone Shackles did not interrupt Wei Beifeng's skill, they successfully disrupted his balance.
Although the Death Ripple didn't deal much damage, it caused him to lose control, ultimately giving Ark the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.
Afterwards, Fangzhou put away the necromancy orb and coldly watched the students who were trying to take advantage of the chaos and enter while the two were fighting.
boom--
Less than half a minute later, Wei Beifeng fell from a height of about twenty yards and died instantly.
His eyes were filled with humiliation, anger, and resentment, but he ultimately could not resist the rules of the simulated battlefield and was teleported to the graveyard.
The students who were about to squeeze in saw Wei Beifeng fall to his death, swallowed hard, and slowly withdrew from the gap.
They originally thought Wei Beifeng could cause enough trouble for Fangzhou, but reality proved to be cruel.
"If you like to jump, I'll let you jump as much as you want in the sky."
Fang Zhou glanced indifferently at the students outside the crack, his tone tinged with boredom: "Who else? Or perhaps you might as well all charge in together."
The scene fell into complete silence.
Whether it was the participating students who wanted to kill the portable meditation array of the Ark, or the countless spectators outside the arena, everyone was unusually quiet at this moment.
The scene was truly bizarre.
They were shocked; they could hardly believe their eyes. They even began to doubt whether it was real.
They all knew that Ark was very strong.
Although Wei Beifeng was the top seed student at Tiger City Military Academy, he was definitely no match for Fang Zhou, something they had anticipated.
However, they never imagined that Wei Beifeng would die in this way.
The Ark could actually use magic to prevent its opponent from falling, making them tumble and spin in the air like a windmill.
Then you can violently push the other person's body into the air at a height of more than ten yards, eventually causing them to fall to their death.
Such technology and methods only exist in dreams.
And now, it has indeed appeared before their eyes.
How could they not be shocked?
"Pinch me to see if I'm asleep and dreaming."
"Mommy, come out and see Superman!"
"What is this? How can you play like this?"
"I'm speechless, Ark, from now on I'm your die-hard fan, this is so awesome."
"It was really exciting, but I didn't understand why Wei Beifeng rolled over when he was attacked during his jump?"
"Ask the same question."
"same."
"Please explain."
Meanwhile, at the Haicheng Military Academy, Liu Diewu took a deep breath and said, "There is only one explanation for this situation."
That's the solution; Wei Beifeng's jump was countered by Fangzhou's skill. Gu Yueyuan nodded and said, "That's right, it was countered."
You see, Wei Beifeng's jump is different from that of ordinary combatants.
He jumped with his body leaning forward and his legs slightly back.
Fang Zhou seized his balance point and struck him squarely.
Liu Diewu watched the replay with shining eyes and continued, "Actually, the power of this Bone Shackles attack was not great, far less than that of the Bone Spear that sent Wei Beifeng flying into the air."
But he hit the balance point, causing his body to lose its balance and tumble under the influence of various forces.
At this point, Liu Diewu sighed softly and continued, "Don't think that just because you understand the principles, everyone can do it."
You should know that jumping and charging are both very fast and fleeting.
We only understood it thoroughly after watching the slow-motion version.
But you should know that judging the balance point and hitting the target is just a matter of a blink of an eye.
In actual combat, Ark's perception capabilities are simply terrifying to the extreme.
In fact, even without Liu Diewu's explanation, the students watching the battle were well aware of the high difficulty of this kill.
Let alone the most difficult thing to crack, the ability to control a person in mid-air is something that only non-humans can do.
At this moment, in the simulated battlefield, Fang Zhou looked at the silent crowd and laughed, "Why isn't anyone moving? Are you already chickening out at the very beginning?"
"Damn it, don't be so arrogant," someone shouted unwillingly.
"Exactly, is it so great to get lucky and try your hand at trapeze once?" another student chimed in.
"You've only gained a favorable position. If you're so tough, remove the spikes and skulls on the ground, and we'll wipe you out in a second." Someone tried to provoke Ark.
"joke."
Although Fangzhou knew they were deliberately provoking him, he still said disdainfully, "I didn't even have to use my skeleton army, yet you couldn't hurt a single hair on my head."
Fang Zhou was unaware that he had ignited the passion of the entire audience; he simply looked at the crowd outside with a half-smile.
"This is outrageous! Even if he's good, he shouldn't insult people like that," one of the contestants said indignantly.
"That's right. Killing someone is just a matter of beheading them. How can you humiliate someone like this and make them live a normal life?" another student chimed in.
"Alright, stop shouting."
What are we all here for? To loot other people's equipment.
They can use any means necessary; if they want to take advantage, can't they even retaliate?
Just then, Jiang Yaoyue, the [Holy Judgment Knight], frowned and couldn't help but speak a word of justice.
"Who are you? Why are you speaking up for the Ark inside? Are you in cahoots? Let's kill her first!" someone shouted from the crowd.
"Who said they wanted to kill me? Step forward." Jiang Yaoyue coldly scanned the crowd.
The trainees in the crowd looked at each other, none of them daring to stand up and answer her question.
Jiang Yaoyue's imposing presence clearly intimidated everyone present.
"Ahem, wasn't that just a case of 'the fox mourns the death of the rabbit'? What do we do now?" someone tried to ease the tension.
"I'll try again. You can come in when you have a chance," Jiang Yaoyue said coldly.
"With the big shot Yaoyue stepping in, that's the best we can hope for." Everyone agreed.
As the top seed student of Longcheng Military Academy, the first military academy, Jiang Yaoyue's strength is beyond doubt.
"Fangzhou, I've set my sights on your treasure. I'm coming to collect it now."
Jiang Yaoyue, despite being a stunningly beautiful and heroic woman, surprisingly took out a heavy shield and a one-handed hammer and slowly walked towards the crevice.
"Another bunch of people coming to their deaths alone, how boring," Fang Zhou said, shaking the crystal ball in his hand.
"It's pretty boring, but don't take it seriously. Let me kill you once," Jiang Yaoyue said with a smile. She had already squeezed through the crack and reached the tunnel.
"You're Jiang Yaoyue? You're still so confident after seeing my attack power. Let me guess what you're relying on."
Fang Zhou raised an eyebrow and said calmly, "After thinking it over, there's only one way."
You must be a Holy Judgment Knight, having learned the enhanced version of Judgment Light Shield.
Otherwise, with your short legs as a knight, you wouldn't even dare to think of getting close to me without a mount.
Jiang Yaoyue's confident smile vanished, replaced by a serious expression for the first time.
She stopped at the edge of the spike trap and said seriously, "You are a terrible person."
"If you feel there's still hope, why not back out?"
Fang Zhou smiled and said, "You're not a bad person. Although you're not exactly a saint, you're at least better than those high-sounding people."
I'm too lazy to kill you.
"You're being too boastful. I'm really going to give it a try."
After a few seconds of shifting emotions, Jiang Yaoyue slowly said, "The pressure that Fangzhou brought me was just too great."
In fact, knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle.
The reason why Fangzhou is so familiar with Jiang Yaoyue's Holy Judgment Knight class is naturally because Instructor Su Xinyan was once defeated by this class.
Therefore, she has always harbored resentment towards this profession.
Upon learning that there was also a new generation of Holy Judgment Knight in this year's class at Dragon City Military Academy, Instructor Su Xinyan immediately handed over all the information she had collected about this rare profession to Fang Zhou.
Furthermore, in exchange for receiving several thorough massages from Fang Zhou, she demanded that he properly punish this professional during the recruit competition.
Jiang Yaoyue took a deep breath, steadied herself, and slowly stepped forward.
She knew that Fang Zhou was very familiar with her professional background, which meant she had to be extra careful.
"You seem to know a lot about the Holy Judgment Knights," Jiang Yaoyue said, her voice tinged with wariness.
"Of course, someone gave me a detailed analysis," Fang Zhou replied frankly, "so I know your strengths and weaknesses."
Jiang Yaoyue stopped and said seriously, "It seems you're ready, but I won't give up easily. The Holy Judgment Knight isn't just short-legged."
"I believe you," Fang Zhou said, "but I also have my own methods."
At this moment, Jiang Yaoyue was enveloped by a semi-transparent shield and stepped into the spike trap without hesitation.
But she wasn't hurt at all.
The three skeleton archers began firing continuously, but all the arrows were blocked by her shield, and the force of the arrows only made her pause slightly.
Judgment Shield greatly reduces the amount of negative energy damage received for a period of time.
This is one of the Holy Judgment Knight's main defensive skills, extremely powerful, especially effective against negative energy classes like necromancers. "Crack, crack—"
The spikes beneath their feet could not penetrate this shield that significantly reduced damage.
The Ark slowly gathered its strength and then unleashed the Bone Spears.
"Bang—" Jiang Yaoyue raised her shield and blocked the flying skeletal spear.
During the skill's duration, she also did not suffer any damage.
But the shockwave still lingered, and she involuntarily took a few steps back.
