Chapter 22: My God, the Phoenix (2/2)

“We agreed before to take down Shen Yunxi together, so why are you attacking me now!”

“It’s simply against martial virtue!”

The most important thing is the gang-up, two people against one support, who can bear it!

Jiang Qingyu was not affected by these words at all.

She always maintained the best shooting angle.

No matter whether Su Fu or Lin Mingxi approached, they were within her range.

“It’s all about one’s own ability.”

She calmly said, “Shen Yunxi is already out of the game, so naturally, there are new rules now.”

Above Su Fu’s head, the ghost crows were circling, ready to go at any time.

She casually tapped the ground with her golden cudgel in one hand, and looked at Lin Mingxi with a smile:

“At a time like this, you should see who is more worth cooperating with… ?”

Before the words were finished, a silver arrow shot at her.

Su Fu swung her cudgel and knocked the silver arrow away.

Jiang Qingyu obviously didn’t want to give her the chance to win over Lin Mingxi.

The reason why Lin Mingxi was still alive was that Su Fu and Jiang Qingyu were mutually restrained.

Both wanted to win him over and didn’t want the other to do so.

But seeing the situation, it was clear that Lin Mingxi couldn’t hold on any longer.

Both of them knew that in the end, it would be them competing for the first place.

Lin Mingxi dodged the attacks of the two people dozens of times in a row, and his movements became more and more sluggish.

The emerald green protective shield also began to flicker on and off.

“I… I can’t make it!” He ran while panting, with large sweat beads rolling down his forehead.

“Ah! Don’t chase me anymore!”

Suddenly, he tripped and fell to the ground, rolling in all manner to barely stabilize his body.

“Stop! Stop! Stop!”

He shouted in despair.

But no one stopped.

The ghost crows controlled by Su Fu had already flown to the top of Lin Mingxi’s head, ready to dive at any time.

Jiang Qingyu’s silver arrow also aimed at Lin Mingxi’s chest.

“Stop it all!”

Lin Mingxi broke down and shouted,

“Whoever stops, I’ll give her a hundred thousand credit points!”

The most afraid is the sudden silence in the air.

Su Fu’s ghost crows stopped hard in the air, and Jiang Qingyu’s fingers also quietly loosened from the bowstring.

Lin Mingxi: “???”

Is… is it useful?!

Poor guy Su Fu indicated that if someone said she might not believe it, but Lin Mingxi…

She quietly glanced at the divine artifact in his hand.

The emerald green divine snake fangs were shining with an enticing luster.

How much would this cost?

A hundred thousand credit points were just pocket money to him, right?

Poor guy Jiang Qingyu also quietly scanned the divine artifact in Lin Mingxi’s hand and began to calculate how many times he could go to the training room.

Lin Mingxi suddenly felt threatened and quickly covered his divine artifact.

“Hey! Hey! Hey!”

“What kind of look is that!”

“Where are you looking! Two female hooligans!”

“Annoying!”

At this time, Lin Mingxi suddenly wrinkled his nose.

“Wait…”

What smell?

Why does it seem like something is burning in the air?

He followed the smell and looked back.

Lin Mingxi’s pupils suddenly contracted.

Whoa!

The corrupted forest behind him was on fire!

Without knowing when, the golden-red flames had completely blocked the retreat behind.

And the fire was spreading at an astonishing speed.

The scorching heat even began to distort the air.

The golden-red firelight was reflected on the faces of the three people.

Lin Mingxi was horrified and shouted in fear:

“What the hell?!”

“Damn it, who is so immoral to set fire?!”

In an instant, the corrupted forest was completely on fire.

The golden-red flames rose from all around, forming a perfect circular encirclement.

Encircled!

Jiang Qingyu turned her head and silently looked at Su Fu, “It was you, wasn’t it?”

No wonder those ghost crows flying around, seemingly aimlessly chasing each other.

It turned out that everything was Su Fu’s plan.

She was deliberately stalling to go fishing all along!

Using Lin Mingxi to draw her attention, waiting for the right moment for the fire to spread, and then encircle and annihilate!

“You’re crazy!” Lin Mingxi’s voice was trembling.

He looked at Su Fu and pointed at her with a trembling hand: “With such a big fire, do you think you can escape?”

His pupils reflected the golden-red firelight.

The waves of heat came one after another, and he felt like he was going to be roasted.

He didn’t want to be burned to death by the fire!

Su Fu was simply ruthless!

Even Jiang Qingyu didn’t expect Su Fu to be so crazy!

Even if she had a healing skill, she couldn’t survive in this big fire.

What on earth did she want to do?

Did she want to die together?

Seeing the fire getting bigger and bigger, her pupils shrank.

She couldn’t wait any longer!

She had to take down Su Fu before the fire got close!

Skill activation!

[Wild Hunt Feast]!

A flash of silver light appeared, and dozens of illusions of the hunting goddess appeared in front of her eyes in an instant.

This is the group attack skill of Artemis, a group of illusions.

Each illusion has 30% of the attack power of the main body and is fully covered.

Lin Mingxi:”….”

It is known that the hunter is the strongest attribute of single attack.

Now… group attack?!

With ten illusions stacked, that’s 300% attack power!

He shouted with tears in his eyes, “Are you guys bullying people or what?!”

Behind him was a burning sea of fire.

A single leaf caught in the fire turned into ashes in an instant.

In front of him was the goddess’s group of illusions.

The sky was full of arrows, and there was nowhere to hide!

“Boohoo, do I have to choose a death I don’t like?”

He was just a poor support.

What did he do wrong!

No way up and no way down!

Watching the onslaught of arrows and the raging fire, he simply knelt down, exclaiming, “I hate you all!”

“Shen Yan! I surrender! I’m out, I’m exiting right now!”

“Ding!”

The gentle female voice of Shen Yan AI rang out like that of a savior:

[Candidate Lin Mingxi has chosen to submit his exam early]

[Candidate Lin Mingxi has exited the examination room]

[Current number of remaining candidates: 2]

At the same time, ten figures of the hunting goddess, like a constellation of stars, aimed at Su Fu.

“Fire!”

In an instant, a thousand arrows were launched.

The silver rain of arrows wove into a vast net in the air, with countless arrows blocking out the sky and even refracting the light into a dazzling silver glow.

The whistling sound of the arrows slicing through the air was incessant, like the wailing of hell.

Within the range, there was simply no space to dodge.

As the silver arrows descended like a meteor shower, below was the golden-red sea of fire.

The scorching heat distorted the air, and the space illuminated by the fire seemed to be shattered and twisted.

The two completely different forces intertwined, bursting into a roar—

Now it was a matter of whether Su Fu would die from the rain of arrows first, or whether Jiang Qingyu would perish in the sea of fire.

In the midst of the blazing fire, Su Fu calmly snapped her fingers—

“Go!”

Instantly, hundreds of ghost crows flew in from the horizon, their pitch-black wings glowing eerily under the golden-red firelight.

They seemed fearless of death, madly throwing themselves into the silver rain of arrows.

Like countless moths drawn to a flame.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

The sounds of arrows colliding with ghost crows rang out continuously, with silver light and dark feathers exploding in the air.

Countless ashes ignited, and countless screams arose, ultimately perishing together with the arrows!

It was as if a symphony of blood and fire was playing out before their eyes, with the silver rain of arrows and the black flock of ghost crows constantly colliding in the air, sparking brilliant fireworks.

Seeing this scene, the examination room fell into an eerie silence.

After a long while, someone finally spoke in a tone of disbelief:

“How………………how is this possible?”

“How could she control so many ghost crows!”

Originally, there were only six, but now the state of these ghost crows clearly indicated that they were all under Su Fu’s control!

“Such a quantity……………the divine power consumed……………”

How much would that be!

How much divine power infusion did she receive initially!

In the footage, the two forces were evenly matched, with neither able to overpower the other.

Roaring flames, a crazy rain of arrows, and countless ashes of ghost crows.

How could a winner be determined?

Jiang Qingyu looked at Su Fu, her hair fluttering in the firelight.

Moonlight flowed around her, as if draping her in a sanctified veil.

She reached out and slowly drew the bowstring back.

“Let me show you……the true [Wild Hunt Feast]!”

Boom!

The bowstring vibrated, and a flash of silver light appeared.

The original ten illusions suddenly began to split!

Ten became twenty, and the silver radiance instantly illuminated the entire sky.

It was twenty illusions of the hunting goddess!

Super doubled!

Behind Jiang Qingyu, two massive divine illusions slowly materialized.

Artemis, the Greek goddess of the hunt.

Hecate, the moon witch, the chief of the triad, the eternal goddess who controls magic!

The illusions of the two deities complemented each other, their aura as if the gods themselves had arrived!

Even the golden-red flames trembled in their presence!

The ghost crows let out shrill cries under this terrifying pressure and scattered in all directions!

The monitoring room exploded in an instant.

“Whoa! Twenty illusions!? Is this her true strength?”

“Twenty illusions………………that’s equivalent to 600% attack power!”

“It’s like six Jiang Qingyus attacking at the same time, who can withstand that?”

“The most terrifying thing is that she can maintain the illusions of 20 deities, how much divine power does that consume?”

“Damn it, how much divine power infusion did she receive during the summoning of the deity phase!”

“And she has already lasted so long, and she can still continue to use powerful moves?!”

“She has been hiding her strength from the beginning!”

Jiang Qingyu stood proudly, with twenty illusions surrounding Su Fu.

No escape!

Everyone watching the footage made a quick judgment.

“Now Su Fu is going to lose.”

“With this level of arrow coverage, even a hundred times more ghost crows wouldn’t be able to block it.”

“But Su Fu is indeed very strong,” another teacher sighed.

“To control so many ghost crows at the E level and fight Jiang Qingyu to this point…”

The level of the province is simply incredible.

Jiang Yuqing nodded in agreement, “These two must have received the most divine power infusion. To display such a level in the preliminary contest, it’s simply… incredible. The provincial exam is bound to be an exciting spectacle.”

However, Zhou Nanyuan furrowed his brows, staring intently at the data.

Something was off.

The data didn’t add up.

According to the exam paper settings, during the entire examination process, Shen Yan AI would provide 60% of the total divine power.

And this was for a D+ level exam paper, which was half a grade higher, plus the special bonus for the provincial preliminary contest…

The total amount would be even greater.

Now, although it seemed that Su Fu and Jiang Qingyu’s divine power consumption was extremely high, it was important to note that the other five candidates had not used much divine power.

In other words, it was far from enough.

Even if you added up all their divine power consumption, it was still far from reaching the 60% infusion amount.

This meant… someone hadn’t exerted their full strength?

Who?

At that moment, Zhou Nanyuan suddenly noticed the approaching sea of fire.

Wait a minute!

Inside the exam paper.

The black flock of ghost crows was constantly decreasing under the onslaught of the silver rain of arrows.

The shrill cry of each ghost crow as it fell was like a sigh.

Ultimately, they turned into specks of black mist and dissipated in the golden-red firelight.

When the number of ghost crows decreased to a certain extent, Jiang Qingyu’s rain of arrows would consume Su Fu.

But in the midst of the sea of fire and the rain of arrows, Su Fu remained still, as if… she wasn’t worried about losing at all.

Jiang Qingyu frowned.

Her years of combat intuition told her that something was amiss.

Su Fu was too calm, too calm to be someone on the verge of defeat.

What was she waiting for?

The air was scorching, and the flames licked at her.

Suddenly, Jiang Qingyu felt an urge to ask a question.

She was so curious that she could hardly contain herself.

She couldn’t wait until the end of the exam to find out the answer.

She spoke softly, “Su Fu.”

“What is your deity… exactly?”

The name of a god, the title of a god, both contain the authority of the deity, signifying the power of the god.

If one could know Su Fu’s deity… perhaps one could see through her trump card?

The rain of arrows continued to rage, and the flames continued to roar.

Su Fu, however, was slightly stunned.

This was the first time someone had directly asked her this question.

Not questioning her strength, not mocking her background, but simply wanting to know… what her deity was.

The god she believed in?

The god from the vast universe, a god that had long been lost?

Su Fu slowly raised her head, her long hair moving without wind.

Her gaze pierced through the silver rain of arrows, looking straight at the sky.

Her voice was cold and distant, as if traveling through time and space:

“My god is the Phoenix.”

She sighed, the once incredibly brilliant and dazzling civilization’s… Phoenix.
