"Kill!"
As the sound of battle starting rang out, the contestants in the fighting arena simultaneously charged towards their nearest enemies.
However, there were exceptions: the areas where Ender and 'Storm' were located, as no one was willing to approach them!
Bang, bang, bang!
Clang, clang, clang!
Various sounds continuously echoed as 98 contestants in the fighting arena fiercely slaughtered each other, forming over twenty battle groups. Some engaged in one-on-one duels, while others ganged up on a single person, making the battle scene extremely chaotic.
Flying in the air on his Wind Piercing Shuttle, Ender coldly observed the fiercely battling contestants around him, with a shield formed by a fourth-tier Spirit Weapon protecting him.
In the distance, 'Storm' stood quietly in place, his four arms holding three Force Weaponss, vigilantly watching the battling contestants around him to prevent any sneak attacks.
"Hmm?" While remaining vigilant, 'Storm' used his divided avatar to observe Ender, noticing that he seemed to have no intention of making a move. This made him somewhat puzzled. "As the match time increases, the arena will gradually shrink. As a Spiritual Master, he will lose his flexibility advantage in a confined space. Isn't he afraid of being ganged up on once the arena shrinks?"
'Storm' knew Ender was strong, but when a Spiritual Master loses flexibility in a confined space, they can easily be defeated by an equally strong enemy and are also vulnerable to being ganged up on.
Seeing that no contestant dared to enter the areas where Ender and 'Storm' Luke were located, the spectators from the Molten Rock Empire and Ganwu Universe Country cheered and shouted, proud of the Geniuses from their nations!
...
Time passed, and three minutes went by.
In five minutes of fierce slaughter, over forty contestants were eliminated, leaving more than fifty. This was still far from the ten winners needed for the final roster.
"It's time to end this." Seeing the intensity of the battle decrease slightly, with some even trying to fish in troubled waters, Ender felt it was time to conclude.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
Five Azure Wood Thorns flew out from the Green Vine Pillar behind him. With a thought from Ender, five streams of cyan light, imbued with a hint of the Wood Origin Law's power, shot out in all directions!
"What is this?" Seeing Ender unleash the Azure Wood Thorn to attack in all directions, 'Storm's' expression changed dramatically as he made a guess. "Could it be that he intends to..."
Just as he thought, the five streams of light formed by the Azure Wood Thorn shot towards the remaining contestants who were still battling.
Pfft!
Clang!
Pfft!
Three of the five streams of light directly pierced through three contestants, instantly killing them. The other two streams of light were momentarily blocked but still broke through the targets' defenses and killed them.
"What is going on?!"
In less than a second, five contestants were killed and eliminated, causing all the remaining contestants present to tremble.
They had been battling for three minutes, and only over forty contestants had been eliminated. But now, five contestants were eliminated in an instant. How could they not be terrified?
"Green Demon!" Seeing that the five extremely fast cyan streams of light had killed five contestants in less than a second, a contestant shouted loudly, "It's Green Demon who made a move!"
"What?!" Hearing this, many contestants were shocked. How could they not know the fearsome reputation of 'Green Demon'? They couldn't help but exclaim, "Wasn't Green Demon watching the battle like 'Storm'? Why would he start a slaughter!"
Seeing a cyan stream of light shooting towards him, a contestant who was in the midst of battle let out a desperate cry, "No!"
Pfft!
The cyan stream of light pierced through the enemy he was fighting, and then pierced through his own body. Two contestants were eliminated one after another. "Green Demon! As expected of Green Demon!" Watching Ender manipulate the Azure Wood Thorn to slaughter the contestants, 'Storm' couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "How arrogant!"
At this moment, he had guessed why Ender was doing this. He couldn't help but admire his courage and strength. Before, he had hoped for an opportunity to fight him, but now he didn't want to fight the other party at all.
Because 'Green Demon' was too strong; he was no match!
Simultaneously manipulating five Azure Wood Thorns to attack multiple contestants from multiple directions indicated that he could certainly unleash more than just five Azure Wood Thorns. He must have hidden his strength, and his true power was unfathomable!
"Green Demon!"
A contestant frantically shouted. Facing the incoming cyan stream of light, he unleashed his Domain and fully activated the amplitude secret runes on his Original Force Battle Shield, attempting to block the Azure Wood Thorn's attack!
Clang!
The contestant barely managed to block the Azure Wood Thorn's attack. Although he was sent flying and his Original Force Battle Shield almost slipped from his grasp, he ultimately managed to block it.
He blocked it this time, but how could he block the next attack?
"It's over!" The contestant closed his eyes, his heart filled with despair, "My Pinnacle Genius Battle journey is over..."
Pfft!
The sound of flesh being pierced rang out again. The contestant opened his eyes, surprised to find that he had not left the fighting arena; he had not been eliminated!
"What is this...?" He looked at the other contestants fleeing and shouting in the fighting arena, confused. "Why wasn't I eliminated?"
Clang!
he saw an contestant being attacked by a cyan stream of light, barely blocking it, and not being killed or eliminated.
And when that cyan stream of light failed to hit its target, it did not continue its attack but instead turned to attack other contestants.
Seeing this, the contestant suddenly realized, "I understand!"
Whoosh!
A contestant, controlling a flying Spirit Weapon, fled in the direction away from Ender. He had already figured out the pattern of the cyan light attacking the contestants.
At the same time, he also understood Ender's intention: if you could block one attack from the Azure Wood Thorn, you had the right to live; if you couldn't, then you died!
"Flee! Get away from Green Demon!" The contestant frantically fled, calculating inwardly, "As long as I live longer than the others, I'll have hope of entering the top ten roster and making it to the one-on-one arena duels!"
Whoosh!
A cyan stream of light, trailing a long tail, chased after the contestant who was fleeing on his flying Spirit Weapon.
The contestant's Spiritual Force scanned an anomaly. He looked back, only to see a cyan stream of light gradually enlarging in his vision.
"No!"
He only managed to let out a desperate cry before the contestant was pierced through by the cyan stream of light with a "pfft" sound.
Amidst shouts and sounds of blocking, contestants were killed and eliminated one by one. Finally, as nearly ten seconds passed, the cyan streams of light stopped in front of two contestants.
Beep...
A long ringing sound echoed in the ears of everyone in the fighting arena. The arena free-for-all had ended, and only ten people remained in the fighting arena.
"So... so close!" The hearts of the two surviving contestants pounded violently. They had successfully survived 'Storm's' slaughter.
"You two are lucky." A contestant who had blocked the Azure Wood Thorn's attack looked at the two who had not been attacked by 'Green Demon' and felt a bit envious.
He envied these two for not having been attacked by 'Storm' and still managing to survive by luck to reach the top ten roster, successfully advancing to the one-on-one arena finals.
As the match ended and the final ten-person roster was decided, the previously quiet spectator stands, which had been silenced by Ender's furious slaughter, suddenly erupted in cheers!
