As the battle just broke out, Huo Yuhao's pair of Spirit eyes suddenly lit up.
Hum!
An invisible ripple of Mental Force spread outward in all directions from him like water waves!
Spiritual Detection Sharing!
In an instant, an extremely clear three-dimensional image simultaneously appeared in the minds of all the Shrek first-year students present, including Xiao Hongchen and the other two!
Within a radius of several hundred meters, the location and movement trajectory of every single Abyssal Creature were presented in vivid detail within their perception!
"This is..."
Xiao Hongchen was completely stunned, his pupils contracting sharply as his face was filled with disbelief.
He could feel as if an extra Heavenly Eye had appeared in his mind; even without using his eyes to look, he could clearly see everything around him!
From which direction those Four-Clawed Bats were pouncing, how fast they were moving, and even the frequency of their flapping wings were crystal clear!
"So clear..."
Meng Hongchen also widened her eyes, her pretty eyes filled with shock.
"This feeling is simply too magical."
Ji Juechen gripped the sword in his hand tightly; with the assistance of this perceptual ability, his combat capability would definitely improve quite a bit.
At this moment, Xie Xie smiled, turned his head to look at Huo Yuhao, and then slowly spoke.
"Yuhao, your Mental Force has grown way too strong. I remember when the semester just started, your Spiritual Detection Sharing seemed to only be able to cover the few of us? And the detection range wasn't this large either."
"It's really enviable. It feels like you and Boss are both cheating."
Right at this moment, Xie Xie changed the subject, the corners of his mouth curving up slightly to reveal a smug smile.
"However, I haven't made zero progress either!"
Just as Xie Xie's voice fell, a pair of transparent wings slowly spread from behind him!
At the same time, the Light Dragon Dagger and Shadow Dragon Dagger appeared out of thin air in his hands.
Swish!
His figure instantly vanished from the spot, turning into a blurred afterimage as he rushed into the flock of Four-Clawed Bats!
Waving the Light Dragon Dagger, a blade of light slashed out, cutting three Four-Clawed Bats in half at the waist!
The Shadow Dragon Dagger followed closely behind, its black blade of light slicing silently as another two Four-Clawed Bats turned into gray Qi currents!
His figure flickered in and out of view among the bat flock, with every flash accompanied by the death of several Abyssal Creatures!
In less than three breaths of time, Xie Xie cleared out a dozen or so surrounding Four-Clawed Bats, then did a flip and landed steadily on the ground.
"How is it? Am I handsome?!"
Xie Xie raised his chin, smiling so hard his eyes narrowed into slits.
"Aren't I super handsome?!"
Unfortunately, before anyone could answer Xie Xie, a huge roaring sound erupted directly from the other side.
Tang Wulin's figure charged into the area most densely packed with Abyssal Creatures. Waving his dual Golden Dragon Claws, he instantly tore all the surrounding Abyssal Creatures to shreds. In front of Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon Claws, these Abyssal Creatures were like paper, shattering at the slightest touch, and all of them transformed into wisps of gray Qi currents that flew back into the black Abyssal Passage.
Right at this moment, Huo Yuhao also began to act. A terrifying chill surged from within his body, and the surrounding temperature plummeted!
The ground beneath his feet began to frost over. Huo Yuhao raised his hand and waved it, shooting several ice-blue rays of light from his palms that struck three pouncing Four-Clawed Bats!
Crack!!!
The bodies of those Four-Clawed Bats were instantly frozen in ice, turning into crystal-clear ice sculptures!
Then Huo Yuhao gently clenched his fist.
Bang!
The ice sculptures shattered, turning into a sky full of ice chips, and those Abyssal Creatures also dissipated into gray Qi currents.
Ling Luochen was not to be outdone either. Unleashing her Ultimate Ice Spirit with full force, several ice spikes shot out furiously, piercing through those Abyssal Creatures one by one!
Xiao Hongchen stood at the edge of the battlefield, dumbfounded as he looked at the scene before him. Were these people all so fierce?
Maybe I can do it too?
After having this thought, Xiao Hongchen couldn't help feeling eager to try, and then released his Three-Legged Golden Toad Spirit.
Beneath Xiao Hongchen's feet, four Spirit Rings—two yellow and two purple—slowly rose!
The first and third Spirit Rings beneath him lit up simultaneously, and then he waved his hands, scattering at least a hundred metal balls. Following that, these metal balls wrapped around Xiao Hongchen, and cannon barrels grew outward with the metal balls as their core. Then, the second and fourth Spirit Rings lit up. Countless golden light dots suddenly appeared in the air, frantically surging toward Xiao Hongchen's direction with the momentum of all rivers flowing into the sea. The cannon barrels exuded a quite terrifying aura—all of these Spirit cannons were Level 4 Spirit Tools—and they bombarded the surrounding Four-Clawed Bats.
Boom boom boom!
Under Xiao Hongchen's attack, these Four-Clawed Bats suffered varying degrees of damage, and quite a few died at Xiao Hongchen's hands. Xiao Hongchen laughed heartily; as expected, he was still useful.
But right at this moment, mist gradually rose. A Four-Clawed Bat relatively close to Xiao Hongchen suddenly turned crimson in both eyes, transforming into a Six-Clawed Bat, while its aura abruptly rose severalfold!
"Not good!"
Xiao Hongchen instinctively wanted to retreat, but that Six-Clawed Bat's speed was shockingly fast!
Swish!
It turned into a black shadow, lunging straight toward Xiao Hongchen's face, its sharp claws heading straight for his throat!
Fortunately, Xiao Hongchen had Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection Sharing, allowing him to capture the attack trajectory of that Six-Clawed Bat and narrowly evade this move. However, Xiao Hongchen's metal balls and Spirit cannon barrels were directly destroyed under this single claw strike.
Xiao Hongchen broke out in a cold sweat, stumbling under his feet and nearly falling over. He didn't dare to imagine what would happen to him if this move landed on his body. Four claws turning into six claws—wasn't this simply too Heaven-Defying?
At that moment, a piercing sonic wave burst from the mouth of that Six-Clawed Bat!
Hum!
That sonic wave was sharp and piercing, making Xiao Hongchen's eardrums ache terribly. His head buzzed, and his vision darkened for a moment.
"Damn it..."
Right at this moment, a golden light flashed past his side!
Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon Claw swung out fiercely, directly tearing that Six-Clawed Bat into pieces before it once again dissipated into gray Qi currents.
Xiao Hongchen stared blankly at the scene before him, completely stunned. Facing such a formidable existence as a Six-Clawed Bat, Tang Wulin could actually kill it instantly with a casual swipe of his claw. Wasn't the gap between the two of them simply too massive?
The corners of Xiao Hongchen's mouth twitched, and a deep sense of frustration welled up in his heart.
At this moment, Xiao Hongchen's gaze landed on Meng Hongchen and Ji Juechen, noticing that the two of them were also looking over. Xiao Hongchen couldn't help blushing slightly, then gave two light coughs.
"I can't fight anymore, I'd better behave."
Xiao Hongchen had to admit that his title as the Sun Moon Empire's number one Genius had absolutely no use here.
Of course, if someone had told Xiao Hongchen this right from the start, he certainly wouldn't have believed it. Only now, after being ruthlessly beaten by reality, did Xiao Hongchen finally quiet down.
On the battlefield, Huo Yuhao frowned slightly, releasing Spiritual Detection to carefully observe the Abyssal Creatures that, after being killed, turned into gray Qi currents and flew back into the Abyssal Passage.
Soon, his expression grew grave.
"Everyone, the situation isn't quite right."
"After these Abyssal Creatures turn into gray Qi currents and return to the Abyssal Passage, they are basically replenished instantly."
"Do these Abyssal Creatures possess the ability to resurrect?"
Hearing this, Xie Xie also hurriedly chimed in.
"Yeah! I noticed it too! Although our Contribution Points keep increasing, going on like this isn't a solution either. There are simply way too many of these things."
"They can still resurrect after dying; isn't this completely cheating?"
Tang Wulin's gaze fell upon the Abyssal Passage not far away, pondering how he could completely kill these Abyssal Creatures.
We can't just treat the symptoms and not the root cause, right?
