Yi Han’s movements were extremely fast. By the time everyone reacted, he had already rushed out of the gap in the heavy shield wall with the [Lava Ripper]. It was too late to stop him.
There was a strange silence on the wall.
A moment later, Han Bufan asked with a strange expression, “He seemed to have said something about protecting Yuheng just now… Has he always been so cringy?
Zhou Xiruo held her forehead speechlessly. The others from Yuheng Academy also revealed awkward expressions. Although they were already used to Yi Han’s personality, they still could not accept it.
Fortunately, the people here were relatively professional. The awkwardness only lasted for a few seconds before disappearing.
With a thought, Zhou Xiruo took out dozens of [Energy Core] from the territory and distributed them to everyone. “While Yi Han is stalling the other party, we’ll immediately change the [Energy Core] for the fortifications!”
“Remember! Change in batches of two people. At most, you can change three fortifications at the same time. Otherwise, the strength of our attacks will decrease greatly!”
“Got it!”
The remaining three members of the Yuheng Academy responded and began to move. Zhou Xiruo looked at Fang Tianyu and Han Bufan. “Although it’s a little sudden, we don’t have enough manpower now. We can only ask you for help!”
Five of the ten people from the Yuheng Academy went out as bait. Yi Han was currently fighting the enemy. There were only four people left, including Zhou Xiruo.
It would definitely take a lot of time for the four of them to change the [Energy Core] of dozens of fortifications, and what they lacked the most now was time.
Fang Tianyu also understood this logic. Without a word, she took the energy core. “We’re not familiar with the situation in the base. The two of us will be in charge of the fortifications outside!”
“Good!”
Zhou Xiruo agreed and the few of them immediately split up.
At the same time. outside the heavv shield wall.
With a heart full of hot blood, Yi Han rushed out and realized that the situation was not right. Dozens of fortifications were activated at the same time. The light of all kinds of attacks almost drowned the empty space outside the heavy shield wall. He could not even see where the enemy was!
However, if the base stopped attacking, Yi Han was worried that the other party would take advantage of the situation. After hesitating, he simply stood in the middle of the gap in the heavy shield wall and ordered the [Lava Ripper] to begin a large-scale area attack!
As the [Lava Ripper] waved its claws, bright slash marks swept through the surroundings, causing a whistling sound to break through the air!
Unfortunately, the [Lava Ripper]’s movements were not fast enough. Perhaps it was because the venue in front of it was too big, but even if it swung out more than ten or even dozens of claws in a second, there were still blind spots on the battlefield that it could not take care of.
Yi Han frowned slightly when he saw this, but he did not care too much. This was because he had expected this outcome before the attack, so the attack direction of the [Lava Ripper] was completely random.
There was no pattern, which meant that there was no “blind spot” that was absolutely safe.
Although the enemy still had the possibility of breaking through the defense line, that required extremely powerful luck. Yi Han did not believe that his luck would be worse than the other party.
Outside the secret realm, in the city square.
The audience present did not know that danger was about to approach. They looked at Yi Han, who was bombarding the screen, and sneered.
Yi Han was so confused that he could not see the enemy, but these audience members could see the situation on the battlefield clearly through the perspective of the live broadcast camera.
It was true that Yuheng Base and Yi Han’s attacks looked extremely powerful, but they were only random attacks.
This was because their enemies, the two young lords of Yaoguang Academy, were currently standing at the critical point that could barely be sensed by the fortifications. They had used some item to open a defensive field and were watching this farce with a faint smile.
“I really didn’t expect the two academies ranked first and second to be so impatient!”
“I think this is Yaoguang Academy’s strategy. They know that they can’t defeat the other party with brute strength, so they sent two people as bait to exhaust the energy of Yuheng Academy!”
“That’s indeed possible! Don’t forget that we haven’t seen the Yaoguang Academy team since the beginning of the assessment. Perhaps they’re lying in ambush at this moment, waiting to deal a fatal blow to the Yuheng Academy at the last moment!”
“If this plan really succeeds, the Yaoguang Academy will obtain the points of four teams at once and become the strongest dark horse in this assessment!”
“It’s still too early to say this. Don’t forget that Yuheng Academy has sent five people out. Now that the base is under attack, will they come back to save them?”
Hearing the two commentators speak one after another, Huang Tingwei could not help but frown. His malicious eyes flickered, and it was unknown what he was thinking.
Seeing this, Qin Kaiyang patted Huang Tingwei and advised, “Old Huang, don’t be so angry. Yi Han can’t see the enemy from his position. It’s understandable for him to attack randomly to test the waters!”
“That’s not what I’m thinking.”
Huang Tingwei shook his head slightly. His sharp gaze was locked on the two lords of Yaoguang Academy in the corner of the screen. “Sometimes, Yi Han is not very smart, but his control of the battle tempo is accurate.”
“If the opponent’s strength is really as the commentator said, he definitely won’t do such an impulsive thing.”
Qin Kaiyang narrowed his eyes when he heard this. “You mean… Yaoguang Academy hid the true strength of the participants? But if it’s to win, this seems to be understandable, right?”
Huang Tingwei did not speak. He turned to look at the Academy Head of the Yaoguang Academy and realized that there was no smugness on his face. Instead, he frowned, as if he was also puzzled.
Seeing this situation, Huang Tingwei immediately had an ominous feeling. He hurriedly turned to look at the stands and saw Chen Jinrong sitting upright, but his eyes kept glancing down, as if he was fiddling with something under the table.
Seeing this scene, the ominous feeling in Huang Tingwei’s heart became even stronger.
It had to be known that any competition was an excellent opportunity for the military to choose good seedlings. As the commander-in-chief of the Kaiyang Military Region, Chen Jinrong would not be distracted at this time.
Now that Chen Jinrong was distracted, the most likely possibility was that something had gone wrong!
Thinking of this, Huang Tingwei directly stood up and left. He pretended not to hear Qin Kaiyang call him.
After quickly passing through the crowd to a remote corner, Huang Tingwei looked around and saw that there was no one. Then, he took out his communicator and dialed Chen Jinrong’s number.
A few minutes later, Chen Jinrong walked over with a calm expression. Before he got close, he frowned and asked, “Xiaohuang, the battle in your academy is exciting. Why are you in such a hurry to find me?”
“Sir, I have something to ask you.”
Huang Tingwei said in a low voice with a very serious expression, “Tell me honestly, did something happen in the secret realm?”
