Chapter 553: 415 Job Application (4000 words)
Four thirty revision.
“That’s right,” Xiang Beifei said without changing his expression.
“Are you guys alright?” Yu Hongbo asked.
“Not too bad,” Xiang Beifei glanced back at Tang He, who was from Qingzhou University. Their team’s situation seemed very grim at the moment.
When Tang He saw Yu Hongbo and the others, he also showed a shocked expression, for he hadn’t expected to encounter people from Yanzhou University. To think that their Qingzhou University’s Hou Chengwu had died at the hands of “Zhu Pengfei”!
However, he didn’t dare to say much now. Being only a Qi-Controlling later-period SR-level Awakener and without any teammates by his side, he was no match for the people from Yanzhou University.
“How long have you been in this withered forest?” Xiang Beifei asked.
“We’ve been here since last night!” Yu Hongbo replied.
“Last night? You’ve been here for almost a day?” Xiang Beifei was somewhat surprised.
“Yes, we came here last night!”
Yu Hongbo now had no intention of dealing with Xiang Beifei. On the contrary, he even entertained the idea of joining forces with Xiang Beifei.
Because their team was also in a very embarrassing position.
This place was just too strange; they were trapped and couldn’t find a way out. Upon seeing Xiang Beifei, Yu Hongbo felt a glimmer of hope.
Xiang Beifei was strong; maybe he had a way!
“So you’re fine?” Xiang Beifei asked.
“One of us had an accident,” Yu Hongbo said with a heavy tone.
Now only four people remained in their team.
“Have you been on this mountain since last night?” Xiang Beifei inquired.
“Not exactly; we initially walked through the withered forest, but then it suddenly got dark, and things seemed off, so we ran up the mountain. We found that those treants wouldn’t dare to come up, which was a relief. We weren’t on this mountain at first; we were on another one.”
“Are you that N-level Awakener, Xiang Beifei?”
Chen Baiwen’s expression wasn’t good as he faced Xiang Beifei. He didn’t really want to come up because Hou Chengwu had lost inexplicably before, and he didn’t see clearly how Hou Chengwu lost.
If he lost to an N-level student as well, his reputation would be almost ruined.
However, if he didn’t come up to challenge Xiang Beifei, it would be even more cowardly, as if indirectly proving that he, a distinguished SSR-level Awakener, was afraid of an N-level one!
That would mean Xiang Beifei triumphed without a fight.
After all, like Hou Chengwu, he had also scoffed at Liangzhou University for recruiting N-level students and was persuaded by other universities not to go to Liangzhou.
Chen Baiwen, having chosen to give up on Liangzhou University initially, was an SSR with a high opinion of himself. How could he not prove himself?
Xiang Beifei just looked calmly at Zhu Xinjue, but a murderous intent appeared in his eyes.
He had not killed this guy last time, and dealing with Zhu Xinjue, who apparently came to kill him, meant he must kill Zhu Xinjue this time!
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he felt his knees bend, and with a “snap,” he suddenly knelt before Xiang Beifei!
Zhu Xinjue and the others were also stunned!
“Hou Chengwu, what are you doing?” Chen Baiwen asked in surprise.
Hou Chengwu was also shocked by his own actions!
Why had he knelt down?
Wasn’t it agreed to bring Xiang Beifei down?
Why on earth was he the one who ended up kneeling?
Hou Chengwu’s face turned red with anger as he tried to stand up, only to find that no matter what, he couldn’t get up!
——
But just then, Hou Chengwu, with sharp eyes, suddenly spotted Xiang Beifei and shouted, “He’s over there!”
This time everyone saw clearly, Xiang Beifei was a real person!
Others also saw Xiang Beifei, but because of the flood, it was difficult for them to separate.
“Yu Hongbo, you watch these SRs for us, we’ll deal with him!” Hou Chengwu called out.
“Alright!” Yu Hongbo had to take care of his subordinates; otherwise, the SR-level Awakeners would be directly submerged by the flood.
Zhu Xinjue’s eyes showed a trace of ferocity as a huge glass ball appeared in his hand. Between flashes, the glass ball turned into an illusory light, enveloping the void.
“This time, I’d like to see where you can go!” Zhu Xinjue sneered.
The glass ball was a UR-level space system item, capable of rendering any form of spatial teleportation ineffective. Since everyone had Forfeit Talismans, Zhu Xinjue was worried that Xiang Beifei might escape.
Soon Hou Chengwu, Zhu Xinjue, Chen Baiwen, and He Qiutong surrounded Xiang Beifei. Their powerful auras were no weaker than the flood, and they watched Xiang Beifei closely.
“Xiang Beifei, although I know you are strong, now there are four of us, so I advise you to forfeit,” He Qiutong said.
He Qiutong was unaware of Zhu Xinjue’s plan; like Chen Baiwen, her aim was merely to get Xiang Beifei eliminated.
Xiang Beifei looked indifferently at the four people in front of him.
Four people, easier to deal with than five.
“That’s right, we don’t want to harm you. Just drop out peacefully to avoid trouble,” Chen Baiwen said gravely.
However, Hou Chengwu and Zhu Xinjue beside him were filled with endless killing intent.
“What are we waiting for? To make him drop out, we need to take him down first!” Hou Chengwu exclaimed.
This time, facing Xiang Beifei, he had full confidence. Despite his unexplainable defeat on the stage last time, now it was four against one. No matter how powerful Xiang Beifei was, in his eyes, he was definitely a dead man this time!
