Although no audience was willing to believe it, as the camera zoomed in, Wang Xiao’s appearance appeared clearly on the big screen.
Coupled with the endless beast tide around him, he could basically confirm his identity.
Silence. The entire city square was dead silent.
Everyone’s faces were filled with confusion, not understanding when Wang Xiao had entered the secret realm.
Not only the audience, but even the two commentators were confused.
After a few seconds, one of them said with a strange expression, “Ladies and gentlemen, we can now see that the [Beast Tamer Lord] of Yuheng Academy, Wang Xiao, has appeared in the arena.”
“However, according to the list reported by Yuheng Academy this time, Wang
Xiao is not one of their participants. Is this situation considered a violation?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the director separated a small scene on the screen and replayed the scene of Wang Xiao taking off the [Nirvana Mask].
When another commentator saw this, he said, “Logically speaking, this kind of behavior is against the rules. However, Wang Xiao was once one of the participants of the Yuheng Academy. Later on, for some unknown reason, he was late, so he chose Xu Junrou to replace him.”
“Now, we can see that the substitute Xu Junrou is disguised by Wang Xiao. Although it’s somewhat morally inappropriate, I personally feel that there’s no problem. Why don’t we ask Commander… Commander Chen? Commander
Chen!”
The commentator wanted to ask for Chen Jinrong’s opinion, but when he turned around, he realized that the other party had disappeared!
Just as the two commentators were searching everywhere, Chen Jinrong held the communicator and said in a low voice, ‘Wang Xiao took the initiative to reveal his identity. He should have already confirmed the existence of the enemy. Tell the assault team to take action immediately!”
“Yes!”
The person on the other end agreed. Chen Jinrong hung up the communication device and looked at the stands. He realized that Huang Tingwei was also looking at him.
As soon as their gazes met in the air, they nodded in unison and rushed towards a corner of the venue!
In the secret realm, Yuheng Base.
Wang Xiao stood patiently at the entrance of the base for ten seconds. He estimated that the audience outside should have already seen it. Only then did he wave his hand and disperse most of the mutated beasts, leaving only the Silver Shadow Leopard for the journey.
“I’ll go take the lead and stall for time. You guys act according to the plan!”
After turning around and instructing everyone in the base, Wang Xiao jumped onto the back of the [Silver Shadow Leopard] and turned into a silver light that rushed towards the ice mountain field.
“Then I’ll see you at the ice mountain venue!”
Fang Tianyu cupped her hands and bade farewell. Han Bufan immediately summoned the [Holy Knight], which carried the two of them to the lava field.
The remaining people from Yuheng Academy looked at each other for a moment. Gao Lixuan muttered softly, “I’m the captain.” Then, he called Yi Han and hurriedly set off.
At this moment, only two Yuheng Academy members were left in the huge base.
Although the strength of these two people was not bad, they were still a little inferior to the others. Moreover, they did not have soldiers who were fast enough. Gao Lixuan asked them to rush to the ice mountain field first and wait for the main group to arrive before setting off together.
However, just as the two of them walked out of the base and were about to summon soldiers to the ice mountain venue, a person suddenly staggered out from the dust that was gradually drifting not far away.
“It’s the enemy!”
A Yuheng team member recognized that person’s Yaoguang battle suit and his expression immediately turned solemn. “Isn’t the enemy at the ice mountain venue? Why is there still one here?”
“Use your brain. There are two of us!”
Lang Lina chuckled, and a hint of admiration appeared in his eyes. “Brother is indeed right. Wang Xiao has always been hiding here, and they have indeed split up… Unfortunately, there are fewer people.”
Realizing that their actions had been seen through, the expressions of the two Yuheng team members immediately turned ugly. However, the other party was only one person, so they might not suffer a loss!
Thinking of this, the two Yuheng team members immediately summoned their respective soldiers. However, before they could take action, they saw a strange scene!
Lang Lina frowned, as if he was enduring some kind of pain. Then, a few patterns emitting a faint purple light extended from under his collar along his neck and slowly climbed up his face.
These two Yuheng members did not know of the existence of the Purple Star people. When they saw this scene, shock immediately appeared on their faces. “What exactly are you?”
Lang Lina let out a long sigh and brushed the purple patterns with his fingertips. The expression on his face became violent. “The thing that wants your life!”
Before he could finish speaking, a light purple spatial vortex suddenly expanded, and a powerful aura that made people despair suddenly descended!
At the ice mountain venue.
Wang Xiao rode the [Silver Shadow Leopard] and arrived in just a few seconds with the enhancement of the [Silver Flash] skill.
Then, Wang Xiao changed to the [Ice Thunder Horn Wolf]. After climbing onto a nearby ice mountain, he took in the scene above the cliff.
First, he saw Zhou Xiruo not far away, looking for something among the scattered parts. Beside her was a fledgling [Artificial Teleportation Gate]. Looking at the remaining parts on the ground, it was probably going to be completed soon.
Beside the teleportation gate, Lang Buli was holding a boy from the Yuheng Academy hostage. The boy had injuries on his legs, and his face was as pale as paper. His eyes were tightly closed, as if he had already lost consciousness and could die at any moment.
However, Lang Buli did not seem to care at all. He only looked at Zhou Xiruo, who was building the teleportation door, and did not realize Wang Xiao’s arrival at all.
Seeing this situation, Wang Xiao could not help but think to himself that it was difficult.
With the distance between Lang Buli and Zhou Xiruo, Wang Xiao was completely confident that the Ice Thunder Horn Wolf could jump between the two of them. However, the boy was caught by the other party. With his current position, he could not save him no matter what.
Just as Wang Xiao was thinking about what to do, the boy coughed lightly and woke up. Their gazes almost instantly met!
“Your Majesty…”
As soon as the boy spoke, Wang Xiao hurriedly gestured for him to keep quiet. At the same time, he pressed down with one hand, indicating for the other party to calm down.
Fortunately, although the boy was unconscious, he had not lost his mind. He was slightly stunned before reacting and closing his eyes again.
With the crisis temporarily resolved, Wang Xiao heaved a sigh of relief and shouted through the [vassal contract], “Xiruo, I’m here. Can you hear me?”
“Wang Xiao? You’re finally here! Three minutes are almost up. I can’t hold on anymore!”
Zhou Xiruo’s voice was filled with anxiety, but her movements were still unhurried, afraid that she would reveal a flaw and alarm Lang Buli. “Don’t be nervous. You’ve already done very well.”
Wang Xiao persuaded gently through the [vassal contract], “Our reinforcements will be here soon. Don’t worry.. I have a plan to save you, but we have to cooperate perfectly, so you have to listen carefully…”
