?
Yun Xianghan nodded, then gave her teammates a look signaling them to spread out, while each teammate pulled out a transparent bulletproof glass shield!
They hid their bodies safely behind the shields.
Seeing this, Liu Yang chuckled.
It seemed these people were testing his strength team by team.
The previous group had been instantly wiped out by his ice needles, and now this squad had actually brought out bulletproof shields?
Were these people for real? His ice needle attacks were hardly something a petty little bulletproof shield could block!
To the ice needles forged by Eternal Freezing, bulletproof shields were no different from blocks of tofu.
Not to mention, his ice attacks weren't restricted to straight lines. They could attack from any angle, curve mid-air, retreat, move up or down-he could command them however he pleased!
Liu Yang gracefully waved his hand once more.
"Whoosh!"
Five ice needles zipped toward them from all directions, moving at speeds barely visible to the naked eye, and instantly arrived directly above their heads!
Feeling the bone-chilling air right above them, everyone froze in their tracks.
Yun Xianghan and her entire team were utterly dumbfounded!
Ye Qingdai had been right about the ice element, but she hadn't mentioned that his ice needles could curve around obstacles!
Yun Xianghan offered a helpless smile and called out to Liu Yang, "We yield."
Liu Yang shook his head with a sigh. "What a shame. There are four guys on your team and only one female captain. If those four teammates were half as pretty as you, that would be wonderful..."
Yun Xianghan replied, "You're exceptionally strong. This single telekinetic ability is enough to instantly kill almost any Heaven Ranking superpower user, and ordinary martial artists probably stand no chance against you either. It's truly a technique that can conquer all.
"Still, there's one thing I'm curious about. How far did you actually get during the Heaven Ranking test?"
Faced with her question, Liu Yang didn't answer directly. Instead, he smiled, "If you want to know, come join my base. It'll depend on your performance later!"
Yun Xianghan nodded.
That made sense.
How many floors someone cleared in the monolith was a private secret. Why would he just hand that information over?
With that, she led her teammates away from the training area.
Outside, when the remaining ability users saw Yun Xianghan and her team emerge so quickly, looks of shock washed over everyone's faces.
Xu Changqing strode over and asked, "How did it go?"
Yun Xianghan shook her head. "His telekinesis isn't just about straight-line projectile firing; he can freely control its trajectory and angles on the fly. We thought holding bulletproof shields would block his opening wave, but he struck straight down from above our heads. You can't even fight him. Step inside, and you're dead instantly."
Xu Changqing's frown deepened significantly upon hearing her assessment.
After a moment of tense thought, he ultimately let out a helpless sigh and turned to the other squads.
"Does anyone else want to go in and challenge him? I'll freely share all the intel Ye Qingdai and Yun Xianghan gave me! Of course, the condition is that once you finish your match, you have to share your combat data with me as well."
The crowd exchanged hesitant glances, no one daring to volunteer immediately.
After several long minutes, Chen Qiulian stepped forward. "Give me the intel first, and then I'll decide whether to go in."
"Fine." Xu Changqing nodded and briefed Chen Qiulian on the mechanics of Liu Yang's attacks.
Upon hearing about the curving telekinetic needles, Chen Qiulian's brow furrowed tightly. "Homing attacks that can change angles? Shields are useless... doesn't that mean every single hit lands?
"To win, we have to strike first!
"Telekinesis requires immense mental concentration. Disrupting him right at the start so he can't focus is our only path to victory! Our squad is going to try it!"
"Good! Give it your all!" Xu Changqing nodded, offering Chen Qiulian an unprecedented word of encouragement.
Chen Qiulian led his team straight into the training ground where Liu Yang waited.
This time, without wasting any words upon entry, the four team members instantly scattered to different corners, preparing to unleash their abilities on Liu Yang simultaneously. Meanwhile, their fifth member, Xia Bingbing, had already vanished the moment she crossed the threshold!
Unfortunately, no matter how fast they tried to be, could they possibly outpace Liu Yang?
Before their offensive could even launch, ice needles were already pressed firmly against the centers of their foreheads.
In an instant, they froze, terrified to move a muscle.
The final missing member, Xia Bingbing, was their squad's ultimate trump card!
During his future deduction, Liu Yang really had almost tripped up right here!
But this time, he was fully prepared.
He flicked his gaze toward a patch of open floor ahead.
"Crack!"
A thin layer of frost instantly erupted across the ground, racing outward in all directions.
A startled gasp echoed a second later: "Ah! So cold!"
Xia Bingbing was forced out of stealth not far away, her entire body encased in a layer of frost!
Xia Bingbing's ability was the exact polar opposite of Chen Yuanyuan's.
While Chen Yuanyuan could expand her body to giant proportions...
Xia Bingbing could shrink herself down to the size of an ant.
Ordinary enemies wouldn't even notice her presence.
She could utilize this skill to crawl into an enemy's body through their nostrils or ears, expand back to normal size inside them, and instantly blow their head apart from the inside out!
Against an opponent caught unaware, this ability was an absolute death sentence.
Unfortunately, Liu Yang possessed the Future Deduction ability; their entire hand had already been thoroughly exposed to him long ago!
Looking at Xia Bingbing, who was now frozen like an ice sculpture, Liu Yang rubbed his chin and mused to himself:
"Not only is this woman stunning, but her ability is remarkably useful. If she shrinks her size while we're in bed, wouldn't I be able to just hold her with one hand and... you know?"
That would literally be a living, breathing collectible-sized experience...
Imagining the scene, Liu Yang couldn't help a grin of anticipation.
Enclosed in ice, Xia Bingbing shivered uncontrollably and asked through chattering teeth, "Y-you... how did you spot me?!"
Liu Yang smiled leisurely. "Once you join my base and become my woman, I'll tell you!"
Hearing those words, Chen Qiulian completely snapped.
As the team captain, he had been fiercely pursuing Xia Bingbing for a long time. Seeing Liu Yang brazenly claim her as his future woman was more than he could tolerate.
He pointed at Liu Yang and roared, "Damn you! You're way too arrogant! The teams coming after us are going to crush you into dust! You want to make Xia Bingbing your woman? Keep dreaming!"
Watching him throw a complete tantrum, Liu Yang let out a cold laugh, closed the distance instantly, and delivered a vicious backhand slap.
"Smack!"
Chen Qiulian was sent hurtling dozens of meters backward, flying right out through the open gates of the training grounds.
"Boom!"
With a heavy crash, he slammed hard against the ground right in front of the stunned onlookers, skidding to a halt before collapsing completely unconscious-his face swollen into a grotesque, lopsided pig head.
Seeing this spectacle, the surrounding members of the Flying Eagle Organization were paralyzed with terror.
The previous challengers at least walked out on their own two feet. Chen Qiulian, on the other hand, had literally been batted out like a fly!
What on earth did he say to provoke Liu Yang into such a brutal beatdown?
