My anime-style card deck is fine!

"It's so noisy! Who knew Amon couldn't even kill corn!" Jun said, somewhat embarrassed and annoyed.

He launched a barrage of attacks, intending to take down Amon and Wang Quan directly, but not only did none of his main targets die, almost all of his teammates were wiped out!

The Silver players were pointing and commenting on the fungus in the Battlegrounds.

Let's leave aside the rain in Wushan, since they didn't die. But they were eyewitnesses, and they clearly had a lot of complaints about the lack of cooperation from Jun and the terrible bombing of friendly forces.

However, Jun maintained his composure, looking down at the crowd in the canyon, a cold smile playing on his lips:

"Huh? You haven't forgotten, have you? Your return here was the work of me and Huang Jie. In the end, you were nothing more than bait to trap Wang Quan and Amon here!"

"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind; we are the oriole, my fellow mantises!"

It's as if it echoes the words of the bacteria.

Suddenly, figures emerged from all around, their numbers growing ever larger!

The densely packed figures almost filled the surrounding area!

Figures could be seen in the sky, on the ground, and even in the canyon. Although Wang Quan and the other Silvers did not recognize these people, they quickly figured out their identities!

—The army of test takers led by Huang Jie and the Institute of Bacteria!

"In this exam, it's not just you who are [answering questions], but also me, us, and them, everyone active on this ultimate battlefield!" Jun's expression became even more jubilant.

A total of four thousand people surrounded this battle-hardened canyon.

Each and every one of them is a top student from all over the country, and now they are gathered here, on the battlefield that would otherwise make them mediocre, to officially take the stage!

In a single instant, the power it gathered was enough to shake mountains and bring down a giant dragon!

"You can't beat us."

Jun looked earnestly at Wang Quan and Amon: "Admit it, Wang Quan, Amon! Victory is ours!"

Chapter 73: The Rumble of the Earth!

That's always how it is on the battlefield.

One act ends and another begins, the drama unfolds in waves, and there's never a calming torrent.

Even Amon, who was initially at the center of the battlefield, has seen his status as the protagonist shift, from being shared with the royal power to now being taken over by a larger group!

Yes, when those four thousand men appeared on the battlefield.

The protagonist of the war has changed!

The sheer force of four thousand men brought the battle that was about to erupt in the Battle Canyon to an abrupt halt in an instant.

The Silvers looked at the densely packed figures around them, sighed slightly, and did not make a move.

There's no need for that anymore.

"The encirclement is complete. This is different from the previous attack on El Capitan. This is not a siege, but a field encirclement!" Without corn, a major weapon of war, and without the advantage of terrain at El Capitan, the power of numbers can now be maximized!

"This is our strength!"

The bacteria stood at the very front of the crowd.

The war eventually returned to its original form. After Amon's multiple wide-area attacks, the previous troops were annihilated one by one, and even he and his men trembled under the baptism of corn.

But in the end, they found the path to victory!

Just as he said, whether it's the royal power, Amon, or those high-ranking Silver Saints in this Battle Canyon, they are all just bait!

Amun raised the clarion call of war.

Then the five groups joined forces to attack, and their offensive attracted everyone on the battlefield, turning into a huge storm that swept everything into it!

This storm was truly magnificent and spectacular!

So much so that everyone so engrossed in it, whether they were on the battlefield or spectators, forgot that a unit had survived on this battlefield!

They were also among the examinees in this examination hall!

Now it's their turn to answer the questions!

"I still have to thank you for this, Wushan Yu." Jun looked at Wushan Yu beside him and said with a smile, "If it weren't for your power that brought Wang Quan and the others back to this Battle Canyon, they might have escaped!"

His initial corn bombing was intended to provide cover for the main force that would follow.

I thought that since everyone else was already at Silver rank, even if they were at their worst, they wouldn't be wiped out by the Corns in one fell swoop, right?

And it really turned out to be true...

These guys, relying on the free resurrection chances, are completely reckless in trying to drag the royal power down with them.

As a result, he was almost wiped out, while Wang Quan was unharmed except for being a bit disheveled. The remaining survivors were also easily killed.

One of them was even killed by Amon!

The encirclement wasn't complete yet, but it had troubled him for a long time. If he were to betray himself, he definitely wouldn't be able to sleep well that night!

Fortunately, I still have Wushan Yu by my side...

"Really? I'll accept your thanks." Wu Shanyu's smile didn't fade; in fact, it grew even stronger.

Let's fight! The more exciting the fight is, the better!

Let's draw everyone's attention...

In the Battle Canyon.

The silver-ranked students looked at the surrounding examinees with amazement, and some of them immediately put away their cards and sat down on the ground: "We got tricked, well done, Jun."

After this group of people appeared, the silver beings discovered that the power that maintained their form was beginning to weaken.

Although they are barely managing to maintain their existence, that's all they can do.

It's now very difficult to launch card attacks as freely as before.

"They really were used and discarded."

The Silver players didn't bother to react and started chatting amongst themselves: "And Huang Jie, right? I see most of the people here are Huang Jie's people. I guess he was the one who planned this."

"Huh? Then why hasn't he shown up yet? That guy Jun is just smugly gloating over there, it's really annoying!"

"Huang Jie must have been exhausted, but his mind is as sharp as ever, which actually made him the final winner."

"Could Qi Bing be one of their men too? Isn't this canyon Qi Bing's doing?"

"6."

"As expected of the most cunning one among us."

"Those two are really insidious."

The silver-sellers were buzzing with discussion.

Now that things have come to this, what's the point of fighting? The fact that we were able to revive was originally Huang Jie and his group's doing. It's only natural that we'd be used as bait before victory was assured.

Who would be so kind as to help you out of the blue?

They simply have ulterior motives.

"call--"

Surrounded at the very center, Wang Quan sighed softly.

Even he found the scene overwhelming; being surrounded by an army was a completely different situation from being pursued or besieged.

The former is undoubtedly the ultimate embodiment of maximizing the power of a violent group like a legion!

Throughout history, countless legendary armies and wars have revolved around encirclement and counter-encirclement, and many miracles of defeating the weak with the strong have also been based on this principle!

"Why are you sighing? It's not time to despair yet."

Beside him, Amon, now a giant, grinned, exuding a relaxed and cheerful air completely different from his surroundings: "Hey, thankfully this time the environmental reversal won't affect my hand cards. Thanks to this, my preparations are complete."

"Huh? You have a backup plan to resolve this situation?"

Wang Quan was also somewhat surprised.

Somewhat surprised, he turned back to look at Amon. Not only him, but everyone else around who had been watching the two, including Jun, Wushan Yu, and the audience outside the venue, subconsciously looked at Amon.

This former heart of the battlefield, now silent and inactive, is the original eye of the storm!

"Fufufu~"

Amon let out a strange laugh because he was too happy: "I was quite unhappy when corn wiped out [the enemy] before. After all, it was a rare big move, and it would be a pity if there were no audience and opponents."

"Now is just right!"

"This is the kind of grand stage we need! This is how it should be!" Amon stood up straight, and the giant raised his hands high as if to celebrate the arrival of something.

His overflowing joy was palpable: "I extended an invitation to everyone, all for this moment!"

The corn that swept across the entire field.

That figure standing like a demon king on El Capitan was nothing more than an invitation to all the candidates.

—I'm about to make a big move, come and stop me!

Amon smiled and lowered his head, looking at the somewhat astonished expressions of Wang Quan and the others around him. His smile widened, but his body was like a tree, with large amounts of white substance gushing out of his body.

It extends deep into the ground like a rhizome.

Like branches and leaves, it spreads towards the sky!

"To deal with an army, you really need an army! [Quantity] is about countering [quantity]. If I finally gather all the necessary conditions but don't have an opponent to counter it, wouldn't it be too lonely for me to launch this move?"

Amon's voice echoed through the canyon.

A rising sense of unease made Jun instinctively shout, "Stop him! Don't let him activate his effect!"

"It's too late!!!"

The only response to the bacteria was Amon's triumphant and arrogant laughter: "I activate the effect of the Founding Titan!"

"Trample the earth, giants, destroy everything before you!"

"—[The Rumble]!!!!!"
