If you slap me, the whole world will suffer the same harm.

In the second hour, Longdu University broke the silence.

Lei Zhen dispatched a reconnaissance team of two hundred men, who made their way towards the Spring Field and the Summer Field respectively.

However, his reconnaissance team was discovered by sentries from Yandu and Modu as soon as they reached the border. The two sides exchanged fire for a few rounds before retreating.

In the third hour, the tour leaders from both Yandu and Shanghai simultaneously realized a problem...

Instead of going head-to-head with Longdu, it's better to eliminate the weakest city, Hangzhou, first.

Anyway, Hangzhou only has 112 people, and all of them are injured, making them the weakest team. They can be easily eliminated in a few matches.

With Hangzhou eliminated, the remaining three contenders will be vying for the top spot, and at least they can secure a top-three position.

So, four hours into the game, Yandu University and Shanghai University reached a tacit understanding.

On the Spring Field, Ling Qianjue selected 250 people, led by the vice-captain, and they set off from the south, sneaking into the southwest corner of the Winter Field.

On the Autumn Field, the Mo Yun and Mo Yu brothers personally led three hundred people, starting from the west and sneaking along the northwest corner of the Winter Field.

In total, there were 550 people on both sides.

Hangzhou University, on the other hand, has only 112 students.

The troop strength was five to one, and all of Hangzhou's soldiers were injured.

In the audience, the students from Hangzhou were so nervous that their palms were sweating.

"They're here! Yandu and Modu are coming to attack us together! (;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`)"

"Five hundred and fifty against 112, what the hell are you talking about!"

"It's over, it's over, the curse of one percent every thirty years is going to continue."

The audience from the other three schools, on the other hand, had expressions of anticipation, as if they were watching a good show.

At the betting booths, the odds for Hangzhou University to be "eliminated first" had dropped to 1.2, meaning almost everyone was betting on Hangzhou University to be the first to be eliminated.

No one can win by betting on Hangzhou.

Two hundred and fifty people from Yandu approached the boundary of the Winter Grounds from the southwest and saw the ice and snow fortress in the distance.

The team was led by Zhao Tieshan, the deputy captain of Yandu, a level 5 earth-type ability user. He was as burly as his name suggested, and the ground would shake when he walked.

"An ice wall?" Zhao Tieshan frowned. "Have the flight-type pilots fly up and check how many layers there are, but don't get too close!"

"Reporting to the deputy captain, we've gone up to check; there are thirty layers of ice walls in total," the scout replied.

"Build a 30-layer ice wall in four hours? How did more than a hundred of them do that?" Zhao Tieshan's teammate looked incredulous.

"...Never mind, even if the ice wall is thick, it's still just ice. If all 250 of us attack together, it won't last long."

Meanwhile, three hundred people from Shanghai arrived from the northwest.

Mo Yun looked at the blueprints drawn back by the scouts, squinted at the layers of ice and snow fortresses on the blueprints, and remained silent for a few seconds.

"Brother, what's wrong?" Mo Yu asked.

"The way these ice walls are arranged is quite interesting." Mo Yun pointed to the spacing between the ice walls, "Each layer is five meters apart, and there are passages inside."

"After smashing through one layer, you have to go through the passage to smash through the next layer, and after smashing through the next layer, you have to go through another passage. By the time you get to the innermost layer, you have to smash through at least thirty layers of walls and go through thirty passages."

"So what? It's just ice. I can burn through the whole floor with a wall of fire."

"Burning through one layer consumes one point of your ability; burning through thirty layers consumes thirty points." Mo Yun turned to look at his younger brother. "By the time you reach the crystal, how much ability will you have left?"

Mo Yu was taken aback, and the relaxed expression on her face disappeared.

"This is their real purpose." Mo Yun's gaze passed over the ice wall and landed on the faint crystal light deep within the ice and snow fortress.

"They're not trying to stop us, they're trying to wear us down. By the time we break through all the ice walls, our powers will be almost exhausted, and then they'll be waiting in ambush."

"...Then we must finish this quickly." Mo Yu clenched his fist, a ball of flame rising from it. "We can't give them more time to reinforce the ice wall. We and Yan Du are attacking from both sides. They have over a hundred men; they can't handle that."

"Okay." Mo Yun nodded and gestured to the team behind him, "Attention everyone, target... the ice wall, attack with full force, don't hold back."

At the same time, Yandu University also issued an attack order.

A pincer attack, with 550 superhumans striking simultaneously.

Zhao Tieshan roared and slammed his hands on the ground, unleashing his full level five earth-type superpower.

The snow-covered ground trembled violently, and thick, sharp rock spikes emerged from the ground, whistling as they crashed into the outermost ice wall.

In Shanghai, Mo Yu took the lead, sending a wall of fire directly up the mountain.

The flames crashed against the ice wall, exploding into a blinding white light, with steam hissing outwards.

The ice wall had a layer of its surface burned away, but the main body still stood firm.

Two hundred and fifty different kinds of supernatural abilities poured down from the southwest, while three hundred crashed down from the northwest.

Fireballs, ice spikes, wind blades, rocks, lightning... all sorts of attacks rained down on the outer walls of the ice fortress.

The explosion was deafening, sending ice and snow fragments flying everywhere, and the shockwave blasted large craters into the surrounding snow.

The outermost ice wall shattered in less than thirty seconds under the concentrated fire, with large chunks of ice hitting the snow with a dull thud.

"The first layer is broken!" someone cheered.

However, the cheers quickly caught in his throat.

Because behind the first ice wall is the second ice wall.

Furthermore, there is a five-meter-wide passage between the second and first floors, filled with sharp icicles, which is clearly a trap set in advance.

"There's a trap! Don't rush in!" Zhao Tieshan shouted.

The 550 people had to slow down, clearing the traps while simultaneously smashing down a layer of ice.

The second layer of ice wall was thicker than the first, and it took a full minute to break through it.

Then comes the third floor, the fourth floor, the fifth floor...

When they hit the thirtieth floor, Zhao Tieshan began to feel that something was wrong.

His superpower had been used up by nearly 30%, and his teammates around him were panting heavily with sweat on their foreheads.

On the other hand, the ice walls... they had already smashed through thirty layers, but the ice walls behind them showed no signs of decreasing. As far as the eye could see, there were still layer after layer, with no end in sight.

"What's going on? How many layers did they build?!"

The situation in Shanghai is even worse.

Mo Yu's fire ability was originally the best way to deal with the ice wall, but after releasing dozens of large-scale fire walls in succession, his ability had been consumed by nearly half.

The ice wall not only didn't break through, but it seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, and the color of the ice blocks in the later layers changed from transparent to light blue...

This is a reinforced ice brick that has been reinforced twice by Shui Miaomiao using her water-based supernatural abilities. Its hardness is three times that of ordinary ice.

"These guys are reinforcing the ice wall inside!" Mo Yu shouted through gritted teeth, his relaxed expression completely gone, replaced by disbelief and anger. "They're inside watching us smash it while they keep piling new ice on top!"

He was right.

At this moment, deep within the Ice Fortress, Lin Chen was standing next to the crystal, leisurely sipping his milk tea.
