Near the forest.
On a stone platform, there stood five figures dressed in white robes, all of them women.
"Captain, I heard that there's a newcomer this time who's quite formidable, named Lin Xiu. Are you confident?" asked a woman with a smile to the figure facing away from her.
"If you have such little faith in me, maybe Moon Spirit should just disband," the woman turned around.
She was tall, with slightly gaunt cheeks, but possessing a rare beauty.
Her skin was fair as snow, paired with a white robe, not quite like a fairy, but even more beautiful.
And the most striking feature about her was her silver long hair.
She stood there, emanating an aura of aloofness.
"I was just joking, Captain, don't be so serious," the girl who spoke earlier teased, sticking out her tongue playfully.
However, Han Yue remained solemn, "The outcome of this match is important to me and to Moon Spirit. I hope you all take it seriously."
At her words, the girl was stunned, "Captain, you don't actually think those newbies can be our opponents, do you?"
As she finished speaking, not only her, but even the other three girls, wore expressions of surprise.
"Of course not, but I want you all to take it seriously too," Han Yue spoke confidently, without hesitation.
These days, she had also heard the rumors among the seniors.
In summary, the junior named Lin Xiu was said to be very fast, very strong, and possessed Lightning Attribute Dou Qi.
Although she was not good at explosive strength herself, she was still in the Spirit Realm, and could completely use her realm advantage in combat.
At this moment, Han Yue seemed to sense something and stopped speaking, turning to look not far away.
In the forest, figures emerged, dozens of them, with some momentum.
And in front of those people, five figures dressed in black robes stood like mountains.
They were the five members of the Black Evil Stopper Team.
"Captain, aren't we going over?" the woman, seeing so many people, couldn't help but feel overwhelmed.
Sometimes, when there are many people, there can be a visual impact.
"No need, they are no match for the Black Evil Stopper Team!" Han Yue said confidently.
The five members of the Black Evil Stopper Team ahead, watching Lin Ge and the others approach, remained calm, showing no signs of panic.
"Their momentum is quite strong."
"No wonder they're the Black Evil Stopper Team, completely different from the seniors in the forest before."
"I suddenly feel a bit nervous, don't know why."
Dozens of new students stopped, and some of them even dared not meet the eyes of the Black Evil Stopper Team.
The man standing next to Li Yan stepped forward, "Senior Brothers, we have forty-five people. If you start a fight, you may not necessarily win. Step aside now, and you can avoid unnecessary pain."
"Forty-five people? What for? Trying to scare us with numbers?" scoffed one member of the Black Evil Stopper Team.
The man's face stiffened slightly, his voice deep, "Are you Senior Brothers sure you want to start a fight with us? We have... "
"Quit the nonsense. If you want to get through, you have to beat us!" interrupted a member of the Black Evil Stopper Team.
He had long noticed that the man's strength was only at the level of a 3 Star Dou Grandmaster, not even as strong as the girls beside him.
"Since Senior Brothers want to taste some bitterness, classmates, get ready to fight them! As long as we get past the Black Evil Stopper Team and then the White Evil Stopper Team, we can create a legend of our own!"
Lin Ge's voice was impassioned, his expression excited.
"That's right, let's fight them!"
"Nine against one and they can't win? What face do they have to enter the inner courtyard?"
"Let's fight them!"
A large number of new students responded eagerly, drawn by both their efforts over the past days and the breaking of the tradition of the Fire Energy Hunting Competition, giving them powerful motivation.
Observing this scene, the five members of the Black Evil Stopper Team only curled their lips in a shallow sneer.
Sometimes, in the face of true strength, numbers are nothing!
With such a group of people gathered together, the strongest among them was only Li Yan, a 4 Star Dou Grandmaster.
In contrast, all five members of the Black Evil Stopper Team were 9 Star Dou Grandmasters, and the captain was even a half-step Dou Spirit.
The two sides rushed towards each other, and soon, the five members of the Black Evil Stopper Team were engulfed by the crowd.
However...
Neither the White Evil Stopper Team nor the two elders showed the slightest worry; they remained calm.
It seemed they already knew the outcome.
At this moment, not far from the chaotic battle, five figures stood behind trees, peering through the gaps at the tumultuous battlefield.
Wails and roars filled the air incessantly.
The movement of Dou Qi was unceasing.
Amidst this chaos, figures were constantly being thrown out, upon closer inspection, all of them were freshmen.
The battle lasted for half an hour, with dust flying everywhere, even obstructing the line of sight.
When the dust settled, Li Yan, Lin Ge, and the others were all lying on the ground, their faces marked with injuries and their bodies bearing footprints.
"Still want to yell?" One member of the Black Evil Stopper Team stepped on the chest of the man who spoke earlier, "I thought you were something, but you couldn't even handle a couple of moves. You're not even as good as a woman. Dare to talk big to me?"
"Don't waste time, collect their Fire Energy, there's another team coming up next, deal with them, and we'll call it a day." Ordered the Captain of the Black Evil Stopper Team.
The four team members complied, collecting all the Fire Energy from everyone.
"What's going on? Lin Xiu and the others are clearly nearby, why haven't they made a move?" Elder Zhao found it somewhat strange, seeing Lin Xiu and the others lurking.
Their concealment might deceive the Black White Evil Stopper, but it couldn't fool the two powerful elders.
"I'm not quite sure, could there be some deeper meaning?" Elder Li also felt puzzled.
Because the Black Evil Stopper Team had just fought with others, it was a perfect opportunity for a surprise attack. With the strength of Lin Xiu's team, a sudden strike could indeed disrupt the Black Evil Stopper Team.
As the two pondered, they suddenly noticed Lin Xiu and the others starting to move.
They saw Du Chaoping stepping forward alone.
Just as the members of the Black Evil Stopper Team finished collecting all the Fire Energy, they noticed someone approaching and turned their gazes in unison.
"A 9 Star Dou Master? Why is there only him, where are the others?"
"Where's Lin Xiu? I heard this kid is quite something. Even Bai Feng was defeated by him in one move. I'm curious to test his skills."
The members of the Black Evil Stopper Team looked at Du Chaoping and discussed amongst themselves.
Suddenly.
"Senior Brother, are you looking for me?"
A voice echoed from the woods, coming from behind the group.
"No one's looking for me?"
"Weird, am I that weak?"
Following this, several more voices emerged from different directions.
The members of the Black Evil Stopper Team each looked in a different direction.
Among them, the one who wanted to test Lin Xiu had just turned around when he saw a figure rushing towards him from a distance. In the blink of an eye, the figure was already in front of him.
His expression tightened as Dou Qi surged from his body, swiftly forming into a Dou Qi Armor.
At the same time...
A palm fell accurately, landing on his Dou Qi Armor.
Buzz!
The air seemed to distort under the pressure. With an unremarkable palm landing on the Dou Qi Armor, the next second, the armor experienced intense fluctuations, unexpectedly crumbling apart.
"How is this possible?"
The man was stunned.
To have one's Dou Qi Armor shattered with a single palm, was this the power only a Dou Grandmaster could possess?
Lin Xiu paid no attention to his changing expression. The Thunder Snake on his arm surged towards his palm.
Boom!
A thunderous sound reverberated.
Moments later, the man was thrown back more than ten meters, crashing heavily onto the ground, motionless.
