Chapter Forty-Six: Premature Victory

  The advantages of high attributes are fully revealed in direct physical collisions.

  It wasn't just Hu Si Ming and Liu Feng's block that was easily broken through, even Zhao Feng, who had arrived early to intercept them, only ended up wasting one second of his time.

  But this is enough!

  He quickly turned around and ran away, and Liu Feng released the sleep spell, which took about one second. In the middle of the three-second sleep spell, Hu Si Ming and Zhao Feng intercepted him twice, wasting another two to three seconds for him. If you count the actual time he used to escape, it was at most only three or four seconds.

  At this time, Hu Siming's 30-second cooldown for his brave charge had already ended!

  Although the repeater student had gradually shaken off Hu Siming, a 40-point acceleration was not enough to allow him to run out of the distance of the Brave Charge in three seconds. Just as he was secretly rejoicing at his successful escape, Hu Siming launched a charge, rushing over with a speed like the wind. The huge impact force and the not-so-obvious stiffness disrupted the repeater student's pace. Hu Siming took advantage of the opportunity to stab out with one sword, once again hanging the Frost Slowdown effect on him.

  Almost at the same time, a pale purple vortex card reappeared in his hand.

  A card that can automatically recharge itself, without wasting a single bit of magical power, formed a magical vortex under the feet of the Re-reader.

  2-second restriction!

  In ordinary times, two seconds is just a blink of an eye. But for a repeater, this moment is the distance between life and death. Although he was shocked and angry, the current situation could no longer afford him to make other choices. If he didn't use his lifesaving skills, he might be killed by the newcomer.

  Although he was reluctant, he still took out the only bottle of light green medicine from the fifteen-grid storage bar.

  Small transparent potion

  Enter stealth mode within 30 seconds after use.

  As the potion took effect, Fleur's body rapidly became transparent in a second and gradually disappeared into thin air.

  It should be safe now, right?

  Fuxu Sheng knew that Tianhui Fang's team had someone with a True Eye, but after the True Eye was inserted into the ground, it couldn't be moved. At his own speed, he could quickly run out of the range of the Reverse Concealment. He didn't believe that Tianhui's people could do anything to him!

  But this confidence was shattered in front of the specially made tomb torches.

  A faint blue glow, piercing through all hidden and false things. Even when he re-read the life under the effect of transparent medicine, it still appeared in the blue light. This situation made him feel shocked and desperate.

  "How is this possible? This torch actually..."

  For a brief moment, he was incredulous, but then his face regained some of its composure. Since the unified exam began, he had vaguely felt that there were places where he had been left behind, and after thinking everything through, he got an explanation. The only thing that the repeater hadn't anticipated was that these new students from Tianhui were actually so strong, even discovering things that he himself hadn't thought of.

  Although he was very unwilling, he had to admit that he lost without regret!

  As the last trump card was broken, the repeater knew there was no way to escape and turned around to fight desperately with Hu Siming. Although he consumed all of Tianhui's healing, and also beat Hu Siming to residual blood, the repeater still failed to kill one, and was killed by Zhao Feng with a single punch.

  The battlefield prompt pops up again.

  Killed one member of the Nightmares team, greatly improving combat evaluation!

  Compared to the +1 evaluation for killing newbies, this time's hint is a significant boost in combat evaluation. This has greatly excited Tianhui's freshmen. After defeating the core fighting force of the Nightmare team, they have almost won the unified exam in advance. The only suspense lies in whether they can successfully escape to the ground and get the perfect evaluation reward.

  "It's really not easy, compared with the unified exam, the compulsory course battlefield is simply child's play."

  Zhao Feng let out a sigh of relief and began to lament.

  Liu Feng also had the same feeling, but she was more concerned about what good things the True Name Key dropped by the Re-reader would unlock. The previous ordinary freshman was very stingy and only gave 100 general points. This re-reader is so strong, it should unlock some good stuff, right?

  In their expectation, Hu Siming turned the key again.

  This time, they didn't draw a common point or consumable item, but instead drew an equipment!

  Slipper

  Low-grade treasure.

  Movement speed +20 points, effect does not stack with any other shoe equipment!

  "No wonder he ran so fast!"

  The properties of this low-level treasure left the four people stunned. It was precisely because of its bonus that the repeater could grasp the rhythm of the battlefield so easily. Fortunately, Hu Shiming had obtained the Frost Ball, which restrained him. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to get rid of this repeater.

  "Then, as usual, let's roll a random point."

  After determining the distribution method, the three of them started rolling dice. Hu Shiming also wanted this treasure very much, but after getting Frost Ball, he gave up on this round's draw and could only watch as Zhao Feng rolled 85 points, overpowering the other two and obtaining the ownership of the Convenient Shoes.

  "It wasn't a wasted trip after all!"

  Although the value of this treasure can't be compared with Frost Ball, Zhao Feng was still very excited.

  Both times didn't win the lottery, Yan Shao Ou was definitely a bit disappointed, but his mental quality was still good, and he quickly adjusted his mood, asking: "So, now that the Nightmares team's threat has been resolved, do we need to go back and kill the Tomb Guardian?"

  His words left the three of them speechless.

  Hesitated for a few seconds, Hu Siming said: "If it's out of caution and to ensure the current gains, then let's go back. But just now we killed the Rebirth Reader, our magic is almost depleted and our state isn't good either. If we wait until we fully recover and then fight the tomb guardian again, even if we win, it'll take a lot of time. We've already wasted ten minutes in the main chamber, if we waste more time...

  After pointing out this fact, he changed his tone and said: "Of course, the underground tomb is very dangerous. Just on the third floor, there are mechanisms like knife blade maze. Going up two more floors will definitely be even harder to walk. Even if we rush straight to the ground, it's not necessarily guaranteed that we can pass the level successfully. So, whether to go for the perfect evaluation of escaping back to the ground or to ensure the 200 universal points benefit in front of us first, depends on everyone's opinion."

  One is a more substantial but uncertain reward; one has a greater chance of being obtained immediately, but only 200 general points.

  One of two!

  "I think it's better to give up on it."

  "Alright, let's think this through... We've already seen the attributes of the LV5 monster, the Tomb Guardian. With our current strength, we can definitely beat it, but we'll probably have to use up all our skills and might even lose someone. Is 200 universal points really worth that? The perfect score reward for the unified exam is definitely more valuable than that. Since we've already defeated the Nightmares team ahead of schedule, why not try going for a perfect evaluation?"

  He took down the repeater, Zhao Feng's morale obviously rose, he patted his thigh and said: "Well, it's rare to gamble, so let's go big. Anyway, at worst, we'll just die in the tomb, but with two evaluation boosts in hand, even if we fail, we'll only lose a year or two of our lives. I think this price is still bearable for everyone!"

  "That..."

  Zhao Feng's words made Liu Feng hesitate, seemingly wanting to say something. From her expression alone, it was clear that she didn't have enough confidence in the four of them successfully escaping back to the surface, so she wanted to get as much information as possible before speaking up. However, facing the three people who had already made their decision, she hesitated again and swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

  It was again passed unanimously.

  Although giving up an optional task seems a pity, life is like that, always having to give up something in order to gain. Wanting to have everything and eat it all will only end up losing more!

  With this in mind, the four of them headed towards the end of the second floor of the underground mausoleum.

  Because of killing the repeater, Hu Shiming's blood volume was severely damaged. This time, it was Zhao Feng's turn to walk in front. But very obviously, he had something on his mind that he wanted to say, so he walked a few dozen steps and then turned back to take a look. Just as Hu Shiming and Yan Shao were about to bear it no longer, Zhao Feng finally couldn't suppress his curiosity and took the initiative to ask: "Hu brother, I've been wanting to ask since we left the tomb, where did you get that card from?"

  In the two rounds of replay, that light purple card played a crucial role and didn't consume any magic. Looking at Zhao Feng's envious expression, he planned to find a way to get one after returning.

  In his mind, if newly-born Hu Si Ming can get it, then the difficulty of obtaining this card shouldn't be too high, at least he himself also has a chance.
