Listening to Lü Qiufeng and Lin Miao begin to discuss these trivial matters, Han Zixi was somewhat dumbfounded:
"Uh... that..."
"Aren't you the least bit worried that Lin Ran will... lose?"
He felt he already trusted Lin Ran enough, but not to this extent!
Hearing the tone of the two, it was as if Lin Ran could crush five thousand people as easily as playing.
Lü Qiufeng immediately put on a silly face, making exaggerated expressions, and winked wildly at Han Zixi.
Han Zixi stared at Lü Qiufeng's big face for a long time, and finally realized that Lü Qiufeng was calling him foolish, so he said angrily, "Director Lü, no matter what, that's five thousand people! Genuine five thousand people!"
"I personally believe that at least a basic level of concern should be present, right?"
Lü Qiufeng said nothing, and Lin Miao smiled beside him and said, "But Director Han, that's Lin Ran! Genuine Lin Ran!"
Han Zixi immediately froze upon hearing this. He pondered for a long time, unsure of what to say, and could only shift his gaze back to the screen.
...
Inside the arena.
After a few light, skipping hops, Lin Ran had successfully bypassed countless students and plunged deep into the enemy formation.
Dancing with him in the air were countless ranged energy attacks.
Various elements combined with numerous peculiar abilities created a rather spectacular display.
The only imperfection was that none of these fireworks even grazed Lin Ran's clothes, let alone caused him any harm.
They all became brilliant fireworks exploding in mid-air.
Room displacement!
Lin Ran activated his Room domain, successfully locking onto a student in the center of the ground and swapping positions with him.
This unlucky fellow lacked Lin Ran's reflexes and speed. He was instantly riddled with holes by his comrades' attacks and enveloped by the green light that signaled his removal from the field.
However, the students, upon realizing something was amiss, quickly stopped attacking and did not continue to break through the protective barrier.
In the previous match, Lin Ran had already discovered a problem.
That was, the protection mechanism of this survival match was far inferior to that of the arena matches.
In the arena matches, although he didn't know the specific protection status above, Lin Ran never felt that he could break it.
Lü Qiufeng had even boasted that it was impossible for them to penetrate the protection.
One could imagine that such protective power would be at least eighth-tier.
But in this survival match, Lin Ran felt that the obstruction of the green light was not insurmountable.
When he had previously swept through the students in the building with his King's Treasure, Lin Ran had felt that if he exerted his full strength, he had a good chance of shattering the green light before it transported the student away.
Or, if he used Kamui to attack, he might have directly bypassed the protection and delivered a fatal blow.
But taking their lives was a troublesome matter that would bring endless trouble, so Lin Ran would not intentionally do so.
Unless... it was truly necessary...
Shinra Tensei!
At this moment, Lin Ran had swapped himself into the enemy formation through displacement and decisively unleashed a Shinra Tensei to clear the stage for his performance.
The closest group of people was directly sent into a state of dizziness, their muscles bursting, and their protective barriers appearing frequently.
Those further away were directly launched like cannonballs, with no one able to escape.
In an instant, a vacuum zone with a radius of about ten meters was created around Lin Ran.
"Heh... Ignorant mortals! Come witness... the wrath of a god!"
Lin Ran clasped his hands together and threw a small, dark, spherical object into the air.
Before the students could recover from the previous Shinra Tensei, they immediately felt the ground shaking violently.
"What's going on? Is it a real earthquake?"
"Or did this guy cast a skill that caused the ground to tremble?!"
Many students couldn't even stand steadily, staring at the expressionless Lin Ran in horror.
What kind of perverted skill was this?! It could even cause the ground to shake?
How could he, a mere third-tier awakened being, achieve all this?
Losing one's balance was helpless and terrifying. As they noticed the ground tremors intensifying, countless students began to flee with pale faces.
What a joke!
There were many unstable ruined floors in this area!
If Lin Ran kept shaking it like this, and the building collapsed, they would probably all be crushed to death!
It was not too late to retreat first and return after Lin Ran's skills were exhausted...
At that time, Lin Ran would be in a state of magical exhaustion due to his terrifyingly powerful skill, which would be a great opportunity to take him down!
This was basically what they were all thinking.
But before their legs could even move, the black sphere in the sky suddenly erupted with an unstoppable, powerful suction, pulling student after student upwards.
Of course, along with them were countless amounts of soil, rubble, debris, and wreckage.
Chibaku Tensei!
Lin Ran chanted in his heart.
Under the frantic urging of his Rinnegan, the scale of Chibaku Tensei continued to expand.
Only when all five thousand-plus people were drawn in without exception did Lin Ran calm his mind.
At this moment, an extremely exaggerated and terrifying sphere had formed in the sky.
The sphere was composed of countless students, soil, rubble, debris, and wreckage, forming a unified whole.
During this process, countless students who intended to shout or curse were ruthlessly stuffed with mud by the powerful suction.
Only the outermost group of people had the privilege of breathing and speaking.
Looking at the large sphere floating in the air, they had completely collapsed and began to cry out helplessly, unable to utter any complete and coherent words:
"Ah! It hurts... it hurts! I can't move my whole body! Am... am I going to die?"
"Why am I buried... buried in the dirt in the air?"
"Is this... is this a hallucination before death... before death?"
"Weren't we... five thousand people? How... how did everyone disappear? All... all sucked away?"
"What the hell is this! How can... how can there be such a perverted skill?"
"Mom, I won't... won't fight anymore! Let me down! I... I want to go home! Ahhhh!"
"He's really... really not human! This... how is this possible?!"
"Demon! This guy... this guy is a complete demon!"
"I was so foolish... I was so naive! This is simply not... not a power that humans can defeat!"
