"Everyone, don't panic!"
At this moment, a student from Qingshan No.1 Middle School finally gritted his teeth and realized a crucial problem. "He's using so much true qi in succession. Even a second - rank martial artist can't hold out for long!"
"Yes, that's right!" Someone exclaimed, joy evident on their brows. "His true qi must be almost depleted now. He's probably trying to scare us with a show of force to buy himself time to recover!"
"What? Is that so?!"
"This... this... what you said makes sense!"
"Everyone, don't let him recover!"
The student who first discovered the problem roared, his eyes fixed on Ye Li in front of him.
He wasn't sure if it was an illusion.
He actually saw a hint of pallor on Ye Li's face, which was a sign of huge consumption!
My guess was right after all!
This student was overjoyed and shouted excitedly, "Everyone, attack with me! Let's see how much true qi he has left to squander!"
After saying that, everyone was swayed by his words. The fear that had initially emerged quickly dissipated, and they began to surround the young man in black robes in unison.
Seeing this, Jiang Qingzhu's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly.
What the other side said was true. Ye Li's previous moves were astonishingly powerful, not only showing no sign of conserving true qi but even appearing a bit wasteful.
Such a waste of true qi would inevitably lead to huge consumption.
Based on her own true qi reserve, she had already consumed about seven - tenths.
And since Ye Li's martial - arts level was lower than hers, the proportion of his consumption was likely even higher than seven - tenths.
Thinking of this, Jiang Qingzhu picked up her long spear and was about to rush over.
Unexpectedly, Ye Li gave her a cold glance.
The warning was very obvious.
"...You don't want my help?"
Jiang Qingzhu stopped her movements, looking at Ye Li, who remained calm among the crowd, feeling a bit confused and unable to understand.
But she respected Ye Li's choice.
Her steps paused slightly, and her gaze was filled with worry as she stared at the other side.
Meanwhile, the first - rank martial artists from Qingshan No.1 Middle School had already approached Ye Li.
The nearest student was no more than about three feet away from him.
At this moment, this student suddenly noticed that Ye Li closed his eyes.
Then, the white qi on his body instantly converged, and his semi - transparent body became solid.
No matter how one looked at it, this was a posture of having exhausted his true qi and being forced to stop his cultivation!
This student originally wanted to smile.
But for some reason, a trace of fear suddenly welled up in his heart.
An extremely dangerous aura almost rushed towards him.
It wasn't just him; the people beside him also felt a chill, with their hairs standing on end. They unconsciously looked up.
only to see the young man in black robes raised his pair of pitch - black eyes, and a hint of sky - blue light quietly emerged.
Under the illumination of the bright lights, it was like the the center of the lake of a lake in winter with snowflakes falling!
The next second, a visible violent storm erupted from the young man in black robes' body!
This storm carried an extremely strong chill. The temperature in the air plummeted by dozens of degrees, and a spiral - like shockwave spread rapidly in all directions!
Frost and Snow Fill the Sky?!!
Jiang Qingzhu, who recognized this move, suddenly constricted her pupils. An extremely absurd emotion violently surged in her heart, leaving her stunned.
He obtained the breathing method less than an hour ago, and he's already mastered Frost and Snow Fill the Sky?!!
How could this be possible!!
"Heh——"
At this moment, under the platform, accompanied by the young man's soft laughter.
In an instant, this extremely cold storm swept through an area dozens of meters in radius!
Dozens of first - rank martial artists' faces changed drastically. Those who wanted to retreat were thrown into chaos on the spot and were instantly swallowed up by the storm!
What a terrifying martial - art skill!
In the last few seconds before losing consciousness, this same thought emerged in their minds.
Buzz! ——
Amidst the howling sound like a blizzard in the extreme north, the teeth - chattering ice - cracking sound rang out continuously, mingling with countless screams, forming this symphony named [Frost and Snow Fill the Sky].
When the storm dissipated, dozens of human - shaped ice sculptures, frozen lifelike, were revealed.
No matter how the human - shaped figures struggled within, it was difficult to break through the ice.
Dang dang——
One by one, the ice sculptures crashed to the ground, making a series of clear and pleasant sounds.
In the astonished eyes of Jiang Qingzhu and the others, the young man in black robes unreservedly exhaled a puff of white qi. He walked out slowly from among the dozens of ice sculptures, looking composed.
The true qi in his body was really almost depleted this time.
Fortunately, the harvest was substantial.
As he walked, he listened to the prompt sounds ringing in his ears.
[Severely injure a first - rank peak martial artist, evil value +1000!]
[Severely injure seventeen first - rank fifth - layer martial artists, evil value +8500!]
[Severely injure forty - six first - rank third - layer martial artists, evil value +13800!]
[Severely injure...]
[Current evil value: 46000 points. Can draw treasures]
Ye Li walked slowly towards the exit, in a rather pleasant mood.
In this way, the evil values consumed on the breathing method had been made up.
He could go back to count the harvest and wait for the exchange competition in the afternoon.
"Clean it up properly."
In the astonished gaze of Jiang Qingzhu and the others, Ye Li waved his hand. After casually saying this, he walked out of the gate of the martial - arts arena.
Just as he left the martial - arts arena, he head-on ran into Wang Yongfeng and a group of teachers from Qingshan No.1 Middle School walking over, chatting and laughing.
"Ye Li? Have you finished your business?"
Seeing Ye Li, Wang Yongfeng was slightly surprised. "I was planning to go back and ask if you needed any help!"
"No need, thank you, Teacher." Ye Li politely nodded and walked straight past him.
"Oh!"
"Teacher Wang, is this Ye Li from your team? He seems very polite!" A teacher smiled.
Another burly teacher was a bit dissatisfied. "A martial artist looks gentle and refined, like a literature student. It's not right. How can he have no edge?"
"Teacher Wang, I remember Ye Li is at the peak of the first rank, right?"
While everyone was discussing Ye Li, a teacher from Qingshan No.1 Middle School asked subtly, "So, his talent is quite good. I wonder if he has awakened a martial - arts talent?"
"This... won't you know in the afternoon?"
Wang Yongfeng rolled his eyes and smoothly changed the topic with a smile. "Let's not talk about him for now. It's almost time for a meal, and there's a competition in the afternoon. We need to go call the students who are visiting the martial - arts arena to have a meal!"
"That's true."
The group quickly walked into the martial - arts arena.
But when they saw the scene in front of them clearly, the people who were chatting and laughing just a second ago were now completely stunned on the spot.
only to see in the entire martial - arts arena, students from Qingshan No.1 Middle School were lying everywhere. Some were collapsed under the broken walls, some were lying prone on the ground not far away, and some even had their entire heads buried in the ground....
In addition, dozens of crystal - clear human - shaped ice sculptures stood under the battle platform, and cracks were continuously spreading on the surface of the ice layers.
And on the ground in the center of those ice sculptures, there were traces of ice spreading out in circles. These ice traces were in irregular shapes, like the marks left after being impacted by a powerful force, extremely eye - catching.
There was no doubt that a thrilling battle or a violent release of energy had taken place here just now!
"My god...."
Seeing this scene, Wang Yongfeng and the teachers from Qingshan No.1 Middle School felt dizzy, and even their spirits were a bit dazed. They almost sat down on the ground.
Looking at the school team members, these were all senior - year martial - arts students of Qingshan No.1 Middle School!
So many of them are lying here now. What exactly happened....
In the huge venue, only a few people from Linhai No.1 Middle School were still standing, their faces showing shock.
Wang Yongfeng managed to steady his nerves, looked at Jiang Qingzhu on the opposite platform, and asked in a trembling voice the question that everyone was most concerned about at the moment:
"This is.... Who did this?"
