What? You opened a resort on the battlefield of all races?

Chapter 89

Blood spurted out as the bone spur was pulled out, instantly staining his Qinglan Martial Arts University uniform red.

Sun Hao's eyes widened, filled with astonishment and fear.

He opened his mouth to scream, but only mouthfuls of blood and foam came out.

Why?

Where is the shield that was supposed to withstand a full-force attack from a low-level Nine Heavens Realm alien race?

Filled with endless confusion, Sun Hao lowered his head, his life force completely extinguished.

"Sun Hao!"

Not far away, several students from Haichuan Martial Arts University stared in despair, letting out desperate roars.

"This jade token is useless! The shield won't activate!"

A male student from Haichuan University shouted.

He tightly gripped the life-saving jade pendant that the Cangyun Martial Arts student had just thrown to him. Facing a Flying Sky Realm Thorn Feather Clan member swooping down, he used all his strength to crush the jade pendant.

The jade pendant shattered.

It was still just a cloud of white powder drifting in the wind, without any energy shield rising.

"Sizzle!"

As the sharp claws of the Thorn Feather Clan slashed across, five deep, bone-revealing gashes were torn open in the boy's chest, and he fell screaming into a pool of blood.

"Mine is useless too!"

"The jade pendant has stopped working! Everyone run!"

Panic spread like wildfire across the Stone Forest battlefield.

Five or six other students from other academies, each holding a life-saving jade token from Cangyun Martial Arts University, died one after another from the bone spikes and claws of the Thorn Feather Clan after crushing the tokens, without receiving any life-saving Yuan Power shields.

This scene completely shattered everyone's psychological defenses.

However, it was less than thirty meters away from them.

A student from Misty Moon Martial Arts University was cornered by two peak-stage Rock Realm Thorn Feather Clan members. With nowhere left to retreat, he ripped off the life-saving jade pendant from his waist and crushed it with force.

"Buzz—"

A dazzling white beam of light shot into the sky.

A thick, sturdy, semi-transparent elemental shield instantly formed, completely enveloping his entire body.

"Bang! Bang!"

Two thorny foes crashed into the shield, the immense recoil sending them flying. The shield remained completely undamaged, only experiencing tiny ripples on its surface.

The contrast between the two is extremely stark.

The jade token from Wuyue Wuda has taken effect.

The only life-saving jade pendant he received from the Cangyun Martial Arts student turned into a pile of useless powder after being crushed!

"What's going on?!"

"The jade plaque from Cangyun Martial Arts University is broken?!"

The students who survived the battle were completely blank in their minds.

-

Nanjiang Prefecture, the main venue for the Youth Martial Arts Competition.

The holographic projection screen, suspended in mid-air, broadcast this scene with crystal clarity to the 100,000 audience members present.

The entire circular grandstand fell into a deathly silence that lasted for ten seconds.

Then, with a loud "boom," the 100,000 people were in an uproar.

"It's malfunctioned?! The life-saving jade amulet has stopped working?!"

"I watched with my own eyes as that student from Qinglan Martial Arts University was stabbed right through the heart! He crushed the jade pendant, but not a single spark of light appeared!"

The man in the baseball cap suddenly stood up, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

"Isn't this a life-saving item distributed by the Federation?!"

"Why is it that when you crush a Wuyue Martial Arts student, they gain a shield, but when you crush a Cangyun Martial Arts student, they're just a pile of ashes?!"

The man in the short shirt slammed his hand on the seat, his face turning ashen.

"Was the jade plaque from Cangyun Martial Arts University affected in some way?"

"That's impossible!"

"Cangyun Martial Arts University and Wuyue Martial Arts University have been in the same area since entering the Battlefield of the Heavens. If it were environmental interference, then the jade tokens of both universities should have become invalid simultaneously!"

The audience was abuzz with discussion, their faces filled with shock and anger.

on the rostrum.

Li Shanshan, the president of the Human Race Martial Arts Association, suddenly stood up from her leather chair.

Her usually dignified and composed face was now so gloomy it seemed as if it could drip water.

Has the life-saving jade pendant failed?

Moreover, it was just one academy whose jade tokens all became invalid?

This is no longer a simple accident during the competition; it's a blatant slap in the face to the Martial Arts Union in front of the entire human race!

If this matter is not handled properly today, the credibility of the entire federation will be completely destroyed!

"check!"

Li Shanshan suddenly turned her head, her sharp gaze sweeping over the several council deacons behind her, her voice icy cold.

"Immediately seal off all remaining jade token supply depots!"

"Find out exactly who was responsible for producing and inspecting these jade plaques for Cangyun Martial Arts University!"

"Not a single one can be missed!"

"I need to see results within half an hour!"

The deacons trembled with fear, nodded repeatedly, and fled to carry out the order.

Li Shanshan braced her hands on the edge of the podium, staring intently at the fierce battle unfolding on the holographic screen, her heart sinking ever lower.

"If this isn't handled properly, the University Association could face a major upheaval!"

The battlefield of the heavens, deep within the stone forest.

The violent waves of elemental energy collided wildly between the stone pillars.

"boom!"

Crimson flames shot into the sky, forcing back two Thornfeather Clan members who were attempting to launch a flanking attack.

Luo Yurou plowed two deep furrows in the black soil with her feet before she could barely steady herself.

She was panting heavily, her bright red combat suit had been cut open more than a dozen times, and blood was dripping from her arms onto the ground.

Her Yuan Power, at the second level of the Flying Heaven Realm, circulated wildly in her Qi Sea, and she pushed the Devouring Power of the S-rank martial art "Burning Technique" to its limit.

However, around her, there were three Flying Realm early stage Thorn Feather Clan members, forming a triangular formation to tightly surround her.

midair.

The Thorn Feather Royal Family member, Gelie, hovered in the Nine Heavens Realm.

It didn't take action itself, but instead played like a cat playing with a mouse, flapping its bone wings with dark gold patterns, its scarlet vertical pupils coldly looking down at Luo Yurou.

"Can't hold on any longer, can you?"

Gretel let out a hoarse, cold laugh.

Luo Yurou gritted her teeth, ignoring Ge Lie's sarcasm.

She swung her right arm violently, and crimson Yuan energy transformed into a wave of fire, smashing away a thorny feathered tribesman who pounced on her.

But another thorny winged creature immediately filled the gap, its half-meter-long bone spike grazing her shoulder and sending up a trail of blood.

Luo Yurou turned her head and glanced around.

tragic.

It was too tragic.

The students from Haichuan Martial Arts University, Wangchuan Martial Arts University, and Qinglan Martial Arts University who were originally acting alongside them have now suffered more than half of their casualties.

The fifty people from Cangyun Martial Arts University were also in extremely poor condition.

Although the Mad Dog fighting style was fierce, it quickly depleted the stamina and energy of the Thorn Feather Clan's elite troops, who outnumbered them by a wide margin.

"Pfft!"

A male student from Cangyun Martial Arts University had his left leg pierced by a bone spur and fell heavily to the ground.

He gritted his teeth and swung his sword to cut off the Thorn Feather Clan's claws, then reached for his lower back with his left hand.

There, hidden is a teleportation scroll for the Wanzu Ethnic Resort.

"Brothers, I can't hold on any longer! I'm going first!"

He forcefully tore open the scroll.

"Whoosh!"

A dark blue light instantly enveloped him.

The space distorted slightly, and the boy's figure vanished into thin air, leaving the Thorn Feather Clan members, who had come up empty-handed, standing there in impotent rage.

One after another, blue lights illuminated the stone forest.

More and more critically injured and dying Cangyun martial arts students, after exhausting their last bit of strength, tore open the scroll and were teleported back to the resort.

As long as you don't die, you can return to the resort and soak in the life-giving hot springs, and you'll soon be full of energy again.

But at that moment, Luo Yurou's heart sank to the bottom.

With a single palm strike, flames erupted, forcing back the Thorn Feather Clan members in front of her. Using the momentum, she retreated more than ten meters, her back resting against a stone pillar.

Students at Cangyun Martial Arts University can use a roll to escape.

But what about the students from Qinglan, Haichuan, and Wangchuan Martial Arts Universities?

They don't have the resort's conveyor belt!

The jade pendants they were given as protection have inexplicably stopped working!

If all the students from Cangyun Martial Arts University were to retreat using scrolls, the remaining students from other schools, now incapacitated, would face only one fate when confronted with the overwhelming force of the Thorn Feather Clan.

A one-sided massacre.

Why?

Luo Yurou bit her lower lip tightly, drawing blood.

"Why hasn't the rescue arrived yet?!"

Even if the teachers had to climb, they should have reached the top by now!

A feeling of despair gripped the heart of every student present like a vine.

"It's hopeless..."

A female student from Haichuan Martial Arts University slumped to the ground, looking at the Thorn Feather Clan in mid-air, and dropped the broken sword in her hand.

"Today, we are all going to die here."

Mid-air, Gretel seemed to have grown tired of this war of attrition.

It slowly raised its right arm, and the dark gold patterns burst forth with dazzling light.

The terrifying pressure from the Nine Heavens Realm slammed into the ground like a tangible force, causing Luo Yurou's knees to buckle and nearly causing her to kneel down.

"The game should end now."

Gretel opened his large mouth, which was full of fangs.

"Die, all of you!"

At this moment, all the Thornfeather Clan members let out sharp screechs, folded their wings, and prepared to launch a final, desperate charge.

Just when things were at their most critical moment.

"Buzz—"

A violent spatial fluctuation suddenly erupted in the open space in the center of the stone forest.

"What is that?!"

Gretel abruptly stopped, his crimson vertical pupils fixed on the burst of blue light.

on the ground.

Those students from other schools who had closed their eyes and awaited death opened their eyes and stared blankly at the ball of light.

"Rescue has arrived?!"

"The teachers finally found us?!"

A beam of light suddenly shone into the abyss of despair, and an extremely fervent will to survive instantly ignited in everyone's eyes.

Even Zhao Feng, despite his serious injuries, shouted excitedly.

"There's hope! The teachers are here!"

Luo Yurou also suddenly opened her eyes, staring intently at the ball of blue light.

look familiar.

He probably guessed it.

All eyes were focused on the center of the light, awaiting the arrival of the rescue teachers clad in armor and radiating immense power.

Two figures slowly appeared.

The man on the left is thin and holds a standard long knife upside down in his hand, with the back of the knife resting on his shoulder.

The dark-colored Cangyun Martial Arts University uniform was still wet, with two buttons undone at the collar.

The person on the right has a high ponytail and is wielding a dark red whip.

The two swaggered out of the spatial ripples.

It was Liu Bo and Rong Jing.

These two guys, who were seriously injured and teleported back to the resort, have obviously soaked enough in the Life-Giving Spring and are now fully healed. They have then used the teleportation scroll to teleport back to their original location!

The entire room fell silent.

The fervor in the eyes of those students from other schools froze instantly, as if someone had poured a bucket of liquid nitrogen over their heads.

What's going on?

Liu Bo had barely landed when he was caught off guard and hadn't even had a chance to strike a pose.

An extremely strong smell of blood and a violent, malevolent wind rushed into his nostrils, causing him to cough repeatedly.

He rubbed his eyes, his gaze passing through the smoke and dust.

Corpses littered the ground, along with severed limbs.

In the sky, swarms of Thornfeather Clan members flapped their bone wings, their scarlet eyes fixed intently on them.

At the highest point, a massive member of the Thorn Feather Royal Family, exuding the aura of the Nine Heavens Realm, was releasing its killing intent from above.

The standard-issue longsword that Liu Bo was carrying slipped from his hand and clattered onto the back of his foot.

He didn't even have time to cry out in pain; his mouth was agape, making a scene of three mouths on a pig, and his eyes were practically bulging out of their sockets.

Liu Bo swallowed hard, his hoarse voice cracking in the empty stone forest.

Holy crap!

"Yu Rou, we just went back and took a bath..."

"You fucking raided the Thornfeather Clan's lair?!"
