Chapter 226: Chapter 226: The Willow Tree on Huxin Island
A green light shone on Liu Yu’s body.
Every examiner and contestant would wear a piece of Qingmu jade before entering Shuiyue New City. When they are seriously injured, the Qingmu jade will automatically activate and heal their wounds. However, this also means that the examiner and contestant are eliminated.
Liu Yu stood up, his heart filled with unwillingness and regret. He never expected that this Black Crow before him would be so powerful. That overwhelmingly strong slash still made him shiver all over just thinking about it.
If he had known, he definitely would have avoided this person.
But if even a C-level examiner is this terrifying, can they really challenge the B-level and A-level ones?
Watching Black Crow disappear at the end of the street, Liu Yu stood silently for a long time. He knew that, being the first eliminated contestant, his name is now nailed to this year’s pillar of shame, becoming the biggest joke of Azure Wood Star Realm, when he should have brought glory to Moon Embrace Star.
Thinking of this, he felt all strength leaving his body, almost unable to hold his longsword.
"All eliminated contestants, please proceed immediately to the rest area."
The city’s broadcast sounded again. Liu Yu sighed, bowed deeply to the empty street, and left dejectedly.
At this moment, Liu Yu’s live broadcast room was in an uproar.
"Trash, I believed in you for nothing, and you were the first one to get eliminated!"
"Damn, you’ve really embarrassed Moon Embrace Star, I won’t buy anything you endorse from now on!"
"You call yourself a three star genius? I think even One Star gives you too much credit. You should have just hidden in a corner instead of actively confronting others, truly lacking any self-awareness."
"No matter what, Liu Yu made it into the top hundred geniuses, letting the name of Moon Embrace Star be known to the outside world. He just had bad luck choosing the wrong opponent, is that reason enough for you to disparage him so?"
"Exactly, Young Master Yu, I still support you. You will always be the pride of Moon Embrace Star."
On Moon Embrace Star, various merchants and brands rapidly contacted Liu Yu’s agent. Now Liu Yu’s failure has clearly affected the brand image, and they decided to immediately terminate the contracts.
Some brands even demanded that Liu Yu bear the high compensation stipulated in the betting agreement.
The once flower-wreathed and honor-clad genius had thus fallen.
And this is the pressure of the genius battle.
If you win, you would naturally become a media darling, favored by capital, with countless wealth and glory raining down upon you like a storm.
But if you lose, and lose miserably, all the glory will immediately leave you, your name will be nailed to the pillar of shame, and you won’t be able to recover for a long time.
......
"There are really a lot of cameras here~"
Spiritual power extended outward, and one by one, the camera devices were clearly presented in Qin Tian’s mind.
Cameras were installed at every corner of the street, seemingly inconspicuous flies, ants, dragonflies, and even the birds flying overhead, all disguised as surveillance devices.
Even the buildings on both sides of the street were filled with cameras.
The entire city virtually had no blind spots in monitoring.
Feeling somewhat uneasy under surveillance, Qin Tian was relieved knowing that the live broadcasts were from the contestants’ perspectives. As long as he didn’t enter the contestants’ live broadcast channels, no one would know what he was doing.
Smell, hearing, and heat source detection radiated out.
Most of the city was within his sensing range, as streams of information were integrated into his brain, quickly forming a real-time dynamic hotspot map.
"Have contestants already formed an alliance so quickly?"
Qin Tian looked towards the southeast. There, three humanoid heat sources emitted warmth, along with a plant-shaped heat source point. It seemed that aside from the examiners, that was a fixed monster.
Like the examiners, spirit plant monsters also guarded artifacts.
"Let’s go over and see, let me join the chaos."
Qin Tian’s lips curled into a faint smile as he walked into the initial shadow of the street. Light distortion occurred, and his figure vanished instantly.
......
In the southeast corner of the city, there was a forest park, with a Huxin Island in the center of the park.
A hundred-meter tall giant plant of a verdant willow shape stood towering, its twisted trunk covered with scale-like patterns resembling ancient trees of a thousand years, thousands of willow branches transformed into dark green long whips, wildly dancing in the air, creating a whirlpool of death, attacking the three figures around it.
Mo Qingyu, a young man in white, had a face cold as frost, with the Profound Iron Blade emitting a biting cold light. Each slash cut through the air with flowing radiance, slicing the lashing willows into a sky full of emerald snow. His steps followed a mysterious pattern, his figure ghost-like as he wove through the shadowy whips, directing his sword where sawdust flew.
Andrew, the man with red hair, had his hair standing on end, Steel Claws gleaming with cold light under the moon, emitting beast-like low growls. His scarlet pupils danced with combat fervor as he agilely flipped and dodged, Steel Claws slashing the willow branches like scythes, with dark green sap splattering on the ground, instantly corroding into wisps of white smoke.
From afar, the red Magic Robe fluttered, and the Female Mage Nangong Yue waved her Magic Staff. The ruby at the staff’s tip burst forth dazzling red light, with countless fireballs dragging orange-red tails roaring out, exploding on the giant willow.
The Flame Shield around her was swallowing and spitting fiery tongues, reducing the occasional breakthrough willow branches to ashes. The strong smell of scorching mixed with the scent of magic energy, permeating the air.
The three heroes battled the willow tree, cooperating quite tacitly.
In fact, the three of them did not know each other, just simultaneously discovering the monster on Huxin Island, deciding to form a temporary alliance to first defeat the willow tree. After acquiring the guardian artifact, they would duel each other.
At this moment, the live broadcast rooms of the three were extremely lively.
Audiences from each planet cheered for their geniuses, while some barged into other genius’s live broadcast room, engaging in heated debates with netizens.
"What is Andrew doing, just playing soy sauce, most of the pressure was on our big brother."
"You can’t rely on a woman; a Fire Mage causes less damage to the willow tree than half of what our big brother did. Are you sending up fireworks?"
"Don’t you have eyes? If it weren’t for our Xiao Yue using the Fire Ring Technique to protect Mo Qingyu, he would have been tied up by the willow tree like a meat dumpling. Well, Andrew really is playing soy sauce; it makes no difference whether he’s there or not."
"Hell no, without Andrew’s strong body blocking in front, would Nangong Yue even have the chance to cast spells? Shameless Dongfang people!"
"Western Barbarian, get out of Azure Wood Star Realm!"
The originally cheering live broadcast rooms quickly turned into battlefields of multi-sided cursing matches. Three major stars, with billions of netizens crazily aligning, the dense barrage almost flooded the entire live stream.
Of course, there were also many netizens who genuinely supported the contestants, shutting off the barrage to focus on watching the contestants’ performances.
Just when everyone focused on the three contestants fighting the willow tree, no one noticed that the stirred lake surface suddenly had a slight anomalous ripple, as if something had dived in.
