Chapter 420: Chapter 418: The Curtain Falls
Yan Feijie, Yuan Zheng, and Hong Xiuyuan all moved to the front of the team, instantly unleashing their Superpowers to start killing enemies.
After Yuan Zheng released his Superpower, more than thirty fist-sized Energy Light Balls materialized around his body.
These Energy Light Balls could either be smashed directly into enemies to cause physical damage, or they could be thrown into dense zombie hordes and detonated, unleashing terrifying shockwaves.
As for Hong Xiuyuan and Yan Feijie, both of them surprisingly possessed Transformation Abilities.
After Hong Xiuyuan activated his Superpower, his already burly body grew even taller, transforming in the blink of an eye into a three-meter-tall King Kong Giant Ape.
He wielded an Alloy Giant Rod over two meters long. With every horizontal sweep, a dozen zombies were sent flying. His close-quarters combat ability was absolutely terrifying.
However, when Lin Xinghai looked at Yan Feijie, he almost burst out laughing.
The man’s arms had turned into wings and his legs into Sharp Claws. Although his appearance vaguely resembled a swallow in flight, the first word that popped into Lin Xinghai’s mind upon seeing the transformation was: bird-man.
Of course, regardless of his appearance, his combat power was truly formidable. After transforming, he became extremely agile, with his Speed estimated to be nearly 200 points, more than double that of the others.
His legs, now Sharp Claws, were incredibly sharp. Even if a High Level Zombie was caught by them, its head would instantly be pierced with bloody holes.
Moreover, his wings could even release Wind Blades. Although the Attack Power of these Wind Blades couldn’t compare to his Sharp Claws, they were more than enough to reap the lives of Ordinary and Intermediate Zombies.
In other words, Yan Feijie’s Superpower combined both close-range and long-range capabilities. Coupled with his ability to fly, it was, in a sense, practically perfect.
Of course, the true strength of this Superpower depended on who he was fighting.
Lin Xinghai was confident that if he fought him, as long as the distance between them was no more than 50 meters, he could take him down before he even managed to take flight.
He watched for a while longer before deciding not to stay, leaving directly.
Even though he had taken care of the High Level Zombies, the remaining number of Ordinary and Intermediate Zombies was enormous. It wasn’t a mess that could be cleaned up in a short time.
Since he already knew the outcome, he had no interest in waiting around.
The same was true for Zuo Wenyao and the other examiners. After watching for a while and seeing that Yan Feijie and his group were handling the situation without any problems, they all left, leaving only the rescue team from the Military Department behind.
In truth, they hadn’t had to exert much effort. After all, Yan Feijie’s group had only been fighting the zombie tide for a short time before they reached a cooperation agreement with Lin Xinghai.
Then, Lin Xinghai had made his move, sweeping through the High Level Zombies and rapidly turning the tide of the battle.
As a result, the period where they were terrified for their lives lasted less than five minutes. Because of this, the examiners held very little resentment toward Lin Xinghai.
On the contrary, Lin Xinghai’s earth-shattering actions had only deepened their impression of him.
At this point, the top four spots in this assessment were all but set in stone.
...
After leaving, since he no longer needed to collect Energy Balls, Lin Xinghai took out his communication device, contacted Little Fatty, and then headed for the place where Liu Miaomiao and the others were hiding.
"Boss, you’re amazing!" As soon as Little Fatty saw Lin Xinghai, he immediately rushed over to suck up to him.
Of course, this flattery was completely sincere.
When Lin Xinghai had contacted them earlier with his communication device to say that many teams were joining forces against them, it would have been an absolute lie to say they weren’t worried.
They were afraid of being found by the other teams, and they were also worried that Lin Xinghai’s plan would fail.
However, just a short while ago at 6 o’clock, when the Military Department updated the locations of the Energy Balls, they saw Lin Xinghai’s count go from 38 to 48. At that moment, all their worries vanished.
Clearly, Lin Xinghai had not suffered any losses in the past hour; in fact, he had even more Energy Balls than before.
"Boss, did you win in the end? Did you get the Energy Balls from those five people?" Little Fatty was like a curious child, his mind buzzing with questions.
Lin Xinghai glanced at Liu Miaomiao and Jin Tong, and saw the same curiosity in their eyes.
"Since you want to know, I’ll tell you what happened after we split up."
Lin Xinghai sat down next to Liu Miaomiao and began to recount the events one by one.
They weren’t too surprised by the initial events. After all, with Lin Xinghai’s strength, it was completely normal for him to have snatched so many Energy Balls.
But when Lin Xinghai mentioned discovering that teams were gathering, everyone started to get a little nervous.
They couldn’t help but gasp in shock, especially when they heard that Lin Xinghai had scouted ahead and found that the enemy team numbered as high as 3,000 people.
But when they learned that Lin Xinghai had then lured a tide of over 40,000 zombies toward them, they couldn’t help but click their tongues in amazement, silently offering a moment of mourning for that massive 3,000-person team.
When Lin Xinghai mentioned that he had pinned down the enemy and was preparing to extort Yan Feijie and the others, Little Fatty’s eyes lit up.
"Don’t look at me like that. I got a warning afterward." As he spoke, Lin Xinghai opened his Communication Wristwatch and pulled up the message from the Military Department for everyone to see.
"Ah, Ah Xing, will this affect your assessment score?" Liu Miaomiao asked immediately upon seeing it, and Little Fatty and the others also grew tense.
"Don’t worry, it’s fine," Lin Xinghai said with a smile, then proceeded to tell them the rest of the story.
When they heard that Zuo Wenyao, a powerhouse in the Divine Demon Realm, had actually sought out Lin Xinghai and wanted to take him on as a personal student, Little Fatty’s eyes went wide with envy.
This news was so shocking that Little Fatty was barely fazed when Lin Xinghai later mentioned extorting 10,000 Credit Points.
"Boss, you’re going to be a super backer from now on! You have to protect me!" After a long moment, Little Fatty snapped out of it and actually hugged Lin Xinghai’s leg.
Lin Xinghai resisted the urge to kick him away. While pulling his leg free, he said amiably, "Don’t worry. Just have your dad do a good job making my Legendary Level Mecha, and no one will dare to bully you at the academy."
Next, the group ate dinner together. Lin Xinghai then hurried out just before 7 p.m.
By now, it was unlikely that any team would still dare to target Lin Xinghai.
But it was better to be safe than sorry. There was no harm in being cautious.
After all, while the stronger teams might not dare to come, the same couldn’t be said for those candidates who knew they had no chance of getting into East Sea Academy.
They might throw caution to the wind and, counting on the fact that Lin Xinghai wouldn’t dare kill them, team up to try and steal his Energy Balls.
While Lin Xinghai wasn’t afraid of these people, that didn’t mean Liu Miaomiao and the others felt the same.
So, Lin Xinghai planned to go out for a stroll every hour, right when the Military Department was about to synchronize the Energy Ball locations. He would then hurry back after the synchronization was complete.
Although it was a bit troublesome, it would undoubtedly raise their safety level by a notch.
