Free Web NovelChapter 268: Chapter 212: The Final Battle of the Yanhuang Federation’s First Assessment Round
It was the seventh day of the Yanhuang Federation’s first round of assessments for the University Alliance Training Camp.
A heavy, solemn atmosphere filled the entire Starry Hall!
After the build-up of the past six days,
every student, regardless of whether they had visited the Starry Hall in the previous five days,
gathered there on this seventh day.
After all, today was the day that would decide their fate in the Yanhuang Federation’s first round of assessments.
It would determine whether a student was eliminated, forced to leave the University Alliance Training Camp after nearly two months,
or if they would successfully seize a Throne of a corresponding tier, earning the right to continue on in the assessment.
Everything would be revealed today!
Moreover, since it was the final day, every participant was ready to go all out.
They no longer needed to consider the consequences.
The battles today were guaranteed to be brutal.
After all, the winner would take all, and the loser would be sent home!
Due to time constraints, a student could only accept three challenges and issue three challenges per day.
Therefore, most students, seeking to maximize their advantage and avoid risk, waited for the afternoon, planning to issue their challenges during the final time slot.
This only intensified the heavy atmosphere in the Starry Hall.
Zhang Yi, however, wasn’t paying much attention to the lower ranks.
The battles between the Silver and Golden Thrones were his focus for the day.
Seated on the fifth Golden Throne, Zhang Yi calmly watched a Divine War that had already begun below.
This was merely the calm before the storm!
None of the students who had made it this far were cowards.
Seizing this final opportunity to make their move
was what every student here was thinking.
Sure enough,
when the clock struck three in the afternoon,
marking the last window to issue challenges for the day,
just as three o’clock passed,
a student suddenly stood up in the Silver Throne section.
His gaze was like a torch as he stared toward the Golden Thrones.
"Ye Ling’Er of the ninth Golden Throne! I, Xiao Xinwen from Zhongchong Province, challenge you!"
Xiao Xinwen’s voice was loud and clear, ringing like a bell.
It instantly captured the attention of all the students on both the Golden and Silver Thrones.
After Xiao Xinwen paid five Divine Domain Cards as the price for his challenge and entered the Divine War Space with Ye Ling’Er to begin the battle,
below the Silver Thrones, many students who had been a step too slow—too slow to speak, too slow to stand—let out sighs of frustration.
Apparently, Ye Ling’Er, whose Main Clan was the Flower Fairies, was considered a "soft target" in the eyes of many students on the Silver Thrones.
She was the one they most wanted to challenge.
Zhang Yi paid no mind to their sighs.
He shifted his gaze to the scene displayed on the ninth broadcast screen.
On the broadcast screen,
once the initial preparation phase was over,
Xiao Xinwen of Zhongchong Province immediately launched an attack on Ye Ling’Er.
In the broadcast, Xiao Xinwen’s Main Clan was shown to be Lizardmen, a type of Half-beastman.
Specifically, they were the same Green-skinned Lizardman Clan as Li Boyang’s.
These Green-skinned Lizardmen were thick-skinned and battle-hardened, fearing no death. After donning their Armor, they surged like a tide toward Ye Ling’Er’s Flower Fairy Clan.
These beautiful Flower Fairies, on the surface, looked completely harmless.
However, as the Green-skinned Lizardmen charged to within a kilometer of the Flower Fairy troops,
everything changed in an instant!
The ground instantly burst open.
Countless thick, thorny vines shot out like giant pythons, tightly coiling around the Lizardmen’s ankles and bodies.
The thorns on the vines injected a paralyzing toxin, instantly incapacitating the frontline Lizardmen.
Next, the Flower Fairies chanted in unison, and a soft light showered down.
The thorny vines seemed to be infused with Life, becoming even more frenzied and resilient, even actively burrowing out of the ground to whip at the enemy!
At the same time, a strange, sweet fragrance drifted on the wind into the ranks of the Green-skinned Lizardman Army.
The eyes of some Green-skinned Lizardman Warriors suddenly glazed over.
Some Green-skinned Lizardmen swayed unsteadily on their feet, as if they had drunk too much cheap liquor;
the pupils of others, originally green, instantly turned red as they raised their Weapons and swung at their own comrades.
Chaos spread like a plague throughout the entire Green-skinned Lizardman army!
Xiao Xinwen’s expression changed drastically.
He sensed that the commotion in his Green-skinned Lizardman Army was caused by that floral fragrance.
He hurriedly cast a Divine Art,
conjuring a great wind within his legion to disperse it.
The rear legions were spared from the fragrance,
but the front ranks were already in complete disarray.
However, the Heroic Clan serving as the Conductor for the Green-skinned Lizardmen had decent combat discipline.
It quickly Conducted the troops to separate from their mutated comrades in the front ranks who had inhaled the fragrance.
Unfortunately for them, the Flower Fairies’ abilities were far from exhausted.
All sorts of strange plants began to appear.
Man-eating flowers that could swallow two or three Green-skinned Lizardmen in a single gulp;
round, yellowish-brown plants buried in the ground that could explode;
epiphytic plants in the grass that would suddenly sprout sharp thorns;
For a time, plants with all kinds of bizarre functions became the main characters on the battlefield!
This strange spectacle captured the attention of the countless students spectating the Divine War.
The situation only began to change when Xiao Xinwen deployed a giant unit from his Lizardman forces: a Heavy Armor megalania over ten meters long.
But if Xiao Xinwen had a trump card, it was in Ye Ling’er’s Nature to have one of her own.
A giant squash fell from the sky.
