The girl selling goods at the market had never seen money before.

Once caught, the spear will either be released or the player will be pulled into an arm wrestling match.

However, just when Bai Jinxuan thought the spear was about to die a terrible death, he suddenly shouted: "This will end it! Martial arts release, lightning possession, spear infused with spirit!"

"What!?"

A dazzling blue lightning flashed from the spear, traveling directly through it to the hammer.

"Zizzi——!"

A terrifying crackling sound of electricity rang out, and the hammer's body trembled violently.

He released his grip, black smoke billowing from his body, and lost all ability to resist.

The spear did not miss such a good opportunity; a flash of cold light appeared first, followed by a spear thrust out like a dragon.

However, just as his spear tip was about to pierce the hammer's chest, Bai Jinxuan knew it was time for her to step in.

A cherry bomb pierced the sky.

"boom--!"

The violent explosion knocked the spear to the ground, but fortunately he pulled back in time, avoiding the center of the blast and only suffering minor burns.

But it's different for Hammer. He was already on the verge of death, and if he were hit by a bomb, there would be no chance of survival.

"Tsk...!"

The thought that he had fought so hard for so long, only to have it snatched away by someone else, filled him with resentment.

But he quickly came to terms with it, because points can be won back, along with the thief's points!

"Martial arts unleashed! Lightning, grant me power!"

He assumed a fighting stance, covering his entire body with the lightning from his spear, as if charging himself up. The crackling current reached its limit, and then he thrust forward like a thunderclap at the figure in front of him.

This move is one of his signature techniques. After it is used, he will suffer a backlash of lightning for a period of time, resulting in paralysis of his entire body. Therefore, once this move is used, it is either the enemy who dies or he who dies.

"Shh-!"

A trail of lightning followed him.

"You thief, die..."

The powerful impact stirred up the surrounding wind, and it swept past.

But just as they were about to touch the figure, for some unknown reason, the tip of the spear was suddenly pressed down by some force and plunged into the soil.

In an instant, lightning spread across the ground like a spider web.

The tingling sensation from the numbness came from his feet, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

In the mist, her long, silvery-white hair swayed gently.

A strangely shaped weapon, resembling a scimitar, stuck its spear in the ground.

No...no way...Bai...Bai Jinxuan...!

As if to echo his thoughts, the silver-haired girl placed her left hand on the scythe handle, spun around, and kicked herself away.

Oh no! My gun!!!

Seeing Bai Jinxuan take out her sickle and rush up, intending to deliver a fatal blow to him from where he landed, his brain raced, and he abruptly opened the system panel.

Hurry...hurry up...!

"clang!!!"

The crisp sound echoed throughout the forest.

As if sounding a clarion call, three figures appeared simultaneously, surrounding Bai Jinxuan.

A short sword, a gauntlet, and a meteor hammer were thrown directly from the mist, forcing him to parry and giving the spearman an opportunity to escape.

Seeing that the three of them were determined to surround her even as the spears left, Bai Jinxuan frowned slightly.

"Isn't it a bit underhanded to play in a team in an individual competition?"

"Heh... If we don't deal with you, none of us will have a chance, you extraterrestrial demon."

"This is an individual competition, aren't you afraid of committing a foul?"

"Since the referee didn't stop it, it's not a foul!"

---------------------------------------------------------------

"Long Yuxiang, the highly anticipated second-place science student from No. 1 High School, has escaped safely. That last wave was too thrilling! He has already used up all his points!"

"Bai Jinxuan is now surrounded by three people. They are the second, third, and fourth place winners in the science joint exam of No. 2 High School. Each of them is very strong!"

While the commentator was giving his enthusiastic explanation, Murong Yao shouted from the audience, "Foul! This is an individual competition! How can you form teams!"

Her voice was loud, and many people heard it, especially those viewers who admired Bai Jinxuan.

These people come to watch the match to see a battle between strong individuals, not to see a situation where the many bully the few.

"Foul! Foul! Foul!"

They shouted in unison, and some even banged gongs and drums, leading the crowd in a shout.

The loud cheers almost drowned out the commentator's voice, leaving the host with no choice but to reveal the answer:

"Please calm down, everyone. According to the organizers' decision, the purpose of this points competition is to create the most realistic dungeon. Even if you don't get a ranking, as long as you have an outstanding performance, you can participate in the subsequent official competition. Therefore, don't worry too much about temporary success or failure. The real competition is yet to come..."

"She's made her move! She's made her move! The much-anticipated young lady has made her move!"

The host and commentator worked together seamlessly, instantly engaging the audience and drawing their attention to the big screen.

In the scene, Bai Jinxuan takes the initiative to attack, her scythe circling her waist and spinning rapidly, like an insect flapping its wings, leaving several afterimages around her.

As the weapons clashed, countless sparks flew.

"One against three, and she held her own. That's the young lady, that's Bai Jinxuan!"

The commentator's loud voice stunned the audience, who realized that Bai Jinxuan seemed to be quite capable in combat.

"Hey, hey, hey... Is it that powerful? What kind of weapon is that?!"

"A scythe, in theory, should be very heavy, but she puts her spare power into the rotation, so that she can deal the most damage with the least amount of force."

"Genius... She is absolutely a genius. She took on three opponents, all of whom were also at the initial level 3, yet I felt she could win!"

Bai Jinxuan's confidence inspired the audience. Apart from her friends and family from No. 2 Middle School, almost everyone outside the school was cheering her on.

Even many students from the Second Middle School were captivated by her power and charm, and joined the cheering crowd.

Meanwhile, on the big screen...

The silver-haired girl turned gracefully, and the scythe stirred up a gust of wind as her skirt fluttered.

"Tsk, we can't get close to her! If this drags on, we won't be able to leave once the other contestants arrive!"

The short swordsman quickly retreated and shouted towards the meteor hammer, "Think of something quick!"

Upon hearing this, Meteor Hammer gritted his teeth and said, "Damn, she's really troublesome! I can't handle this anymore. You two use your martial arts to entangle her! I'll use my ultimate move!"

"it is good!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he rolled up the sleeve of his left elbow with the short sword and slashed down. The blood, covered in a layer of qi, dripped onto the short sword, and in an instant, it seemed to ignite like flames.

A long trail of red smoke drifted out from the hilt of the sword.

"transposition!"

he shouted.

Upon hearing his words, the gauntlet quickly slid back a few steps, followed by a short sword strike, a three-hit combo that greatly increased both speed and power.

Moreover, the red flames seemed to burn even more fiercely, further enhancing his combat abilities.

On the other side, white steam billowed from the boxing gloves, muscle fibers bulged like steel bars, and the body swelled to more than two meters.

"I'm here to help you! Explosive Punch!"

Seeing the two using their special skills, Bai Jinxuan knew that if this dragged on, she would definitely suffer a great loss.

She's been focusing on magic lately and doesn't know much martial arts. Moreover, the limitations of the initial 3rd tier restrict her movements, making her feel like she's carrying a heavy load, which greatly reduces her overall speed.

Fighting three fully armored enemies in this situation, even if you win, you'll most likely be ambushed and killed by other players, which is not worth it.

I've already secured the points, no need to linger. I'll find a suitable opportunity to take revenge on these three guys later.

Anyway, they can't escape the Misty Forest.

Bai Jinxuan's eyes darkened. She retreated to the tree, took two cherry bombs, a short sword, and a gauntlet from her waist, and then stepped up the tree to escape.

"boom--!"

The two bombs exploded simultaneously, and the powerful impact knocked down several trees in the vicinity.

The gauntlet, unable to react in time, was injured by the explosion and fell from mid-air. The short sword, unable to protect itself, was thrown to the ground and rolled around wildly.

Having fully charged up his martial arts technique, the meteor hammer glanced at Bai Jinxuan, then at the gauntlets that were about to fall. Gritting his teeth, he ignored his teammates and aimed his technique at Bai Jinxuan in the tree.

We only have one chance. If we let her escape this time, how will we fight her when she's at her peak next time?!

"Wind... please, please let it hit me!!!"

Accelerated by the surrounding gale, the rapidly spinning meteor hammer suddenly flew towards Bai Jinxuan's back.

She naturally couldn't fail to sense such a powerful aura.

In terms of a direct confrontation, I might have to think twice, but if you want to run away, do you really think you can stop me with this kind of attack that involves standing still and gathering strength for half a minute?

You were fooled by a single feint, you idiot.

Having anticipated this, Bai Jinxuan suddenly pushed off the tree trunk and leaped into the mist.

By the time the meteor hammer smashed the tree trunk, she had already vanished without a trace.

"Boom——!"

The sound of the armor hitting the ground was crisp and clear.

Watching his teammate's body gradually dissipate, he slammed his meteor hammer into the ground, cursing in frustration, "Damn it!!!"

-----------------------------------------------------------

Offstage, the audience burst into laughter at the sight of Meteor Hammer's exasperated expression.

"Hilarious! They lost 3 against 1 and even got one of them killed. This second-best science student from No. 1 High School is no good. Does he even know how to fight?"

"Hahaha! You know what, as a warm-up program for the selection competition, they were quite entertaining. In terms of humor, I would call them the best!"

"I suggest he tie his head to a meteor hammer and throw it next time. It's one thing to not help teammates who are injured, but to miss with his ultimate is just ridiculous!"

The No. 1 Middle School, a humanities classroom.

Tong Yishan, who was watching the news agency's live broadcast, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Then, the teacher caught him.

"Tong Yishan, is that your name? What are you laughing at? Is my class really that funny?"

"Uh...no...I just thought of something funny..." Tong Yishan quickly turned off her smart bracelet and waved her hand.

But clearly, the substitute teacher didn't believe her: "Get out and stand there!"

Tong Yishan's smile vanished. She walked dejectedly to the door. Since things had come to this, she might as well just keep watching.

So she secretly turned on the live stream on her smart bracelet.

"Now, the toxic fog is starting to shrink, which means the contestants' survival environment will become even more severe!"

The host's explanation excited the audience.

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh!"

The shouts were deafening.

Even professional hosts can't help but sweat when they see such a scene.

Upholding her professional beliefs, she continued to shout, "This means that even fiercer battles will erupt in the Misty Forest. They will not only have to be wary of the contestants lurking in various places, but also face all the monsters of the Misty Forest in a limited arena!"

"all!?"

Someone exclaimed, "Does that mean those shadow monsters will also gather as the poisonous fog shrinks?!"

"Then how can they fight? No matter how strong they are, they'll be instantly killed against so many monsters, right?"
