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

Lin Chen stood at the highest point of the ice and snow fortress, sipping his milk tea and watching the battle below, occasionally offering a few pointers.

"Long Xiaotian, hit that guy in red. He just cursed at you. Bingqing, stop pushing Bai Ye. Bai Ye can fly by himself."

The supernatural energy emanating from all the Hangzhou contestants reached a level that made their opponents doubt their own sensors were malfunctioning.

Long Xiaotian's fire ability was originally at level 5, SS rank, but now his flames were faintly mixed with a barely perceptible cyan color...

This is a manifestation of the superpower intensity being forcibly increased by two levels.

The scorching heat emanating from him was almost as intense as the flames emanating from Mo Yun, the captain of the Shanghai team.

A level 5 ability user exerted an oppressive aura approaching that of a level 7 ability user.

The number of White Night's shadow clones increased from three or four to seven or eight. Each clone moved as smoothly as an independent entity, and the coverage area of ​​the shadow power more than doubled.

The Shadow Blade is even faster now.

Bingqing's support abilities became exceptionally terrifying under the amplification. The shields she provided to her teammates could be cast almost instantly, and the strength of the shields was doubled.

Each Hangzhou contestant's skill level has been raised by at least two to three levels from their original level.

This increase is all-encompassing... Strength, speed, defense, ability intensity, recovery ability, mental resistance, and even pain tolerance all surge simultaneously.

After several hours of wall-smashing, the 550 students from Yandu and Shanghai generally had their supernatural ability reserves reduced to less than 30%.

Their attacks had already used up most of their strength when they smashed the wall, and now, facing a group of opponents whose strength had increased to level six or seven, they had no chance to fight back.

It's like someone who's completely exhausted is suddenly thrown into a ring, facing a group of new contestants who have just entered the arena.

Even more deadly is that the students from Hangzhou have a very bizarre but extremely effective tactic...

Target the most painful spots, but never inflict fatal damage.

Of course, although Mo Yun from Shanghai had used up more than half of his superpower, he was still an SSS-level level 6 superpower user and remained calm under the siege of the students from Hangzhou.

He seized the opportunity and unleashed a large-scale sea of ​​fire, forcibly forcing the Hangzhou students back a few steps and buying his team some breathing space.

"Retreat and regroup! Don't engage them head-on!" Mo Yun shouted. "Their strength is off; they're at least two levels stronger than the data suggests!"

Zhao Tieshan of Yandu also took the opportunity to bring his troops back.

However, the retreat routes of both teams were quickly cut off by the students from Hangzhou.

Long Xiaotian led thirty men to flank from the side, while Bai Ye led twenty men to block the other side's retreat. Shui Miaomiao directly used an ice wall to seal the ice wall passage they had come from.

The battle turned into a one-sided crushing defeat.

The 550 exhausted soldiers, whose superpowers were more than half depleted, faced 112 opponents whose strength had surged, who were in top form, and who were getting more and more excited as the battle progressed. The outcome of the battle was decided in an instant.

One by one, the students from Yandu and Modu were defeated, and once the accumulated damage reached a threshold, they were forcibly teleported out of the game.

The teleportation array in the arena flashed frequently, each flash signifying the elimination of yet another contestant.

Ling Qianjue led the remaining 270 people to guard the Spring Grounds.

His task is to guard the crystal; he cannot leave easily.

But when he saw the names of the eliminated students in the sky, his expression changed.

In just fifteen minutes, more than half of the 250 people sent out had been eliminated, and the elimination rate was accelerating.

"What's going on with Zhao Tieshan?!" Ling Qianjue roared angrily, but she had no idea what had happened over there.

Sure enough, in less than half an hour, all 250 men sent out by Yandu were wiped out.

The 300 people sent by Shanghai were also cleared out of the venue at almost the same time.

The 550 contestants were forcibly teleported out and sat in the elimination zone at the edge of the arena, their expressions blank and their bodies covered in bruises, as if they had collectively had a nightmare.

The audience was completely silent for a full ten seconds.

Then, as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water into a pot of boiling oil, the entire arena exploded.

"550 people were defeated by 112 people?!"

"It wasn't a victory, it was a complete rout! Fifteen minutes! It was over in fifteen minutes!"

"Aren't the students from Hangzhou injured?! Shouldn't they be at the bottom of the list?! Can someone explain what's going on?!"

"I just bet on Hangzhou to be eliminated first, my money..."

"I don't believe it! The people from Hangzhou must have eaten something special, otherwise how could they be so much stronger!"

On the main stand, Zhao Wuji suddenly stood up, his metal-type superpower uncontrollably unleashing a shockwave around him.

"Old Su! What's going on with your students?! Their strength has increased to this extent; it's definitely not something that can be achieved through normal training!"

Su Changhe remained seated on the fishing platform, leaning on his cane, and took another sip of tea.

"Maybe it's because winter is here, the kids are all more excited. (￣▽￣)"

"You try giving me another winter?!" Zhao Wuji's beard bristled. "112 people fighting at a level close to level seven superpowers, and you're telling me that's just euphoria?!"

Chu Lingyun put down his teacup, his gaze falling on the figure still drinking milk tea on the Winter Field, and spoke softly.

"Teacher Su, it was Lin Chen who did it, wasn't it? The last time your school's physical fitness improvement project was probably related to him too."

Su Changhe smiled without saying a word, and picked up his teacup to cover half of his face.

Xiang Beihong remained silent for a long time before finally speaking. His voice wasn't loud, but it could be heard clearly throughout the main stands.

"To simultaneously raise the strength of more than a hundred people by two to three levels in a short period of time, if this method is used for good, it is a blessing for Blue Star; if it is used for evil, the consequences are unimaginable. Brother Su, after the competition, I need an explanation from you."

Su Changhe put down his teacup, his expression finally becoming serious.

"Brother Xiang, rest assured, my students from Hangzhou will not go astray."

In the arena, Lin Chen was unaware of the conversation taking place in the main stands.

But he knew one thing... his amplification effect lasted for 24 hours, and nearly eight hours had already passed, leaving about 16 hours remaining.

During those sixteen hours, all 112 contestants from Hangzhou possessed combat abilities close to those of a level seven superhuman.

The other three schools' contestants, though strong, have already exhausted half of Yandu and Shanghai's manpower in this war of attrition.

We must strike while the iron is hot.

"All personnel, listen to my command." Lin Chen jumped down from the top of the ice wall, tossing his milk tea cup aside. His landing posture was actually quite stylish...

Unfortunately, I stepped on a piece of ice and slipped, almost doing the splits. "Ahem, everyone, pretend you didn't see anything. (￣▽￣)"

All 112 contestants stared at him.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were different from before.

Previously, it was a wary look that seemed to say, "What are you up to now, you troublemaker?"

Now it's a complex look in his eyes: "Even though you're a jerk, you seem like you can actually lead us to victory."
