Just as Jiang Hao thought victory was within reach...
An enormous icy flame, several meters in diameter, shot across the battlefield.
Everything in its path was instantly frozen before shattering into pieces.
The three Saiyans immediately sensed the overwhelming danger.
Without hesitation, they leaped from the city wall.
Boom!!
Even the twenty-meter-high wall was blasted open with a massive gap.
Although the three Saiyans avoided the direct hit, the freezing aura released by the attack still engulfed them.
In an instant, all three were frozen solid.
Watching the scene, Song Yuanqiao's tense expression slowly relaxed.
After all, once someone was frozen by intermediate ice magic...
Even steel would become brittle enough to shatter, let alone flesh and blood.
"It's a little unexpected..."
"But I still won."
Song Yuanqiao murmured to himself.
In his eyes, the three Saiyans had already displayed their full strength.
What surprised him most was that his very first opponent had forced him to reveal so many trump cards.
Seeing this, Jiang Hao's expression darkened.
As expected...
Every genius had earned their title.
Outside the battlefield, Amosi watched everything unfold with a cold expression.
He slowly uttered four words.
War Fervor.
500 × 10 × 3
15,000 combat power.
ROAR!!
The three Saiyans, who had been frozen into ice statues, suddenly let out deafening roars that echoed across the entire world.
Cracks rapidly spread across the ice imprisoning them.
The frozen shells shattered apart, revealing their powerful bodies once more.
"How... how is this possible?"
Song Yuanqiao's triumphant smile instantly froze.
"They can still become stronger?"
"Isn't that completely absurd?"
"How is this any different from cheating?"
Although he hated to admit it...
Jiang Hao's Saiyans had shocked him time and time again.
Amosi glanced at the combat data displayed on his scouter.
36,000 combat power.
Even after activating War Fervor, the three Saiyans would still lose...
They might even die.
"You three, fall back."
Amosi ordered through the communicator.
In a battle of this level, even they could easily be killed.
Saiyans were never afraid of death.
But throwing away their lives in a hopeless battle was nothing but foolishness.
The three berserk Saiyans had already lost most of their reason.
Yet the moment they heard Amosi's command...
The violence in their crimson eyes gradually faded.
Such was Amosi's absolute authority among the Saiyans.
The moment Jiang Hao witnessed that enormous icy flame, he understood.
The battle could no longer be won by relying on ordinary Saiyan warriors alone.
"As expected..."
"This truly is an era where countless geniuses shine."
Just then...
Amosi moved.
Artificial Moon.
Great Ape.
Amosi's Great Ape transformation was completely different from that of ordinary Saiyans.
Not only could he retain his sanity...
His transformed body was also significantly larger.
Song Yuanqiao watched Amosi charge toward the inner city like a falling comet.
The surprise on his face quickly turned into fear.
He finally realized that this mysterious race experienced an overwhelming increase in strength after transforming.
"His combat power..."
"It may have already surpassed Gold Rank!"
To eliminate any possibility of failure, Amosi transformed immediately.
After advancing to Gold Rank, Amosi's normal combat power had tripled.
6,000 × 10
60,000 combat power.
Like a meteor crashing into the earth, Amosi landed directly in the center of the inner city.
The surrounding magicians stared at the nine-meter-tall giant with expressions of absolute terror.
Compared to Amosi...
They looked no more significant than insects.
Although the magicians froze in fear...
Song Yuanqiao did not.
"Thorn Cage—Activate!"
As the third-ranked genius of Jincheng No. 1 High School, he naturally possessed more than a single intermediate spell.
His greatest trump card was...
A Grand Magic Array.
The entire inner city had already been transformed into a gigantic magic formation.
The moment anyone entered its range...
Countless ice thorns would erupt, shredding every enemy trapped inside.
"I can't lose!"
Song Yuanqiao roared inwardly, his expression becoming increasingly ferocious.
Boom!!
Huge shards of enchanted ice exploded into the air before crashing down across the city.
Many magicians failed to dodge in time.
Ironically...
They were crushed to death by the very magic they had created.
The five intermediate magicians maintaining the formation looked on in horror.
"Our lord's magic array..."
"It was destroyed with a single punch!"
Seeing the shattered formation, they collapsed to the ground in despair.
A moment later...
A clear chime echoed across the battlefield.
"You've lost."
"My lord has no need for meaningless slaughter."
Jiang Hao's objective had never been indiscriminate killing.
He had come for resources.
Besides...
Making mortal enemies of these geniuses during an examination would be extremely unwise.
Before long, every one of them would become influential figures.
This was merely an assessment.
Not a life-and-death war.
After the battle, the cleanup was simple.
Jiang Hao ordered the Saiyans to strip Song Yuanqiao's planet of every valuable resource.
"Magic crystals? Take them."
"Mystic cards? Pack those too."
"The Philosopher's Stone?"
"I'll take that."
"What's this?"
"An entire magic ore vein?"
"Take all of it."
"Move everything back to Planet Vegeta."
"..."
Watching the Saiyans plunder his world like seasoned bandits, Song Yuanqiao felt as though his eyes were about to burst from their sockets.
This civilization...
He had painstakingly built it himself.
In the end, Jiang Hao's Saiyans even dismantled the magic cannons mounted on the city walls.
"What the hell?"
"Can't you at least leave me something?"
Song Yuanqiao cried out in grief.
But as the defeated party, all he could do was watch helplessly while the Saiyans carried away every valuable resource they could find.
"They're nothing but robbers!"
If Jiang Hao had heard that comment...
He would have proudly accepted it.
That's right.
They were interstellar raiders.
---
Outside the battlefield—
"What happened?"
"Song Yuanqiao actually lost?"
"The Star Wars have only just begun!"
"I wonder who defeated him."
"Someone capable of defeating Song Yuanqiao must be incredibly strong."
"My guess is Liu Ruyan from Huaicheng."
"If her cultivation civilization fought Song Yuanqiao's magic civilization, she'd have a good chance of winning."
"What a pity."
"With Song Yuanqiao's strength, he was almost guaranteed a place in the top thirty."
"Now he'll probably end up near the bottom."
"Even so, plenty of universities will still fight over him."
"Anyone capable of defeating Song Yuanqiao is definitely a top-tier genius."
"I just wonder who it is..."
...
"He's coming out!"
A burst of exclamations erupted.
Song Yuanqiao walked out of the Star Wars Chamber with a gloomy expression.
He muttered under his breath,
"Damn Jiang Hao..."
"That guy's a bandit among bandits."
"He could've at least left me something!"
Even so...
Deep down, he knew Jiang Hao had shown mercy.
Otherwise...
He wouldn't have merely lost resources.
"Please don't let me run into that monster again."
"My luck's already terrible enough."
The surrounding students exchanged confused glances.
"Who exactly is this Jiang Hao?"
The unfamiliar name quickly became the center of everyone's discussion.
Meanwhile...
Jiang Hao was already organizing the spoils from his third conquered planet.
At that moment, another newly connected planet appeared before him.
The moment he recognized its owner...
A faint smile appeared on his face.
Li Shuibao.
Found you.
