It did not take long for Chu Yunfan to arrive at Exile Zone 66’s spirit stone mine. Evidence of mechanized mining could be seen everywhere. At the outermost part of the mine was a long wall that blocked off the mine inside.
It was originally meant to prevent criminals from escaping the mine. But now, it had become a huge barrier for the students.
Thousands stood in front of the mine. The place was crowded. There were enough people to blot out the sky and cover the Sun.
The students and criminals around the mine added up to this situation.
There were people everywhere. The appeal of the top three expert students was clearly displayed. It was not something that other people could compare to.
Chu Yunfan quietly returned the Thunder Winged Beast into the space within the Mountain River Diagram as he quietly stood amongst the students.
There were about seven thousand students here and it was impossible for them to all know each other. As far as the eye could see, they were greeted by the sight of people they were not familiar with. This made it convenient for Chu Yunfan to take advantage of the situation.
Not far away, Chu Yunfan saw a group of people standing atop a hill in a formation of stars to the Moon. Three students stood inside this formation. This group was divided into three different camps.
One of them was Dong Fanghao, whom he had seen once before. Chu Yunfan also saw his cousin, Chu Yuntian standing beside Dong Fanghao.
As for the two other central figures, one of them was tall. His brow carried a European characteristic and had sharp eyes and a tall nose. He looked awe-inspiring.
One did not need to guess to know this person’s identity. It was the Eurasian descendant—Jiang Pengfei. Beside Jiang Pengfei stood another one of Chu Yunfan’s old acquaintances, Jiang Lei.
Besides these two was another middle-sized youth with a delicate and pretty face. He was followed by a large group of students. This person must be the number one high schooler in Nanhua who was on par with Dong Fanghao and Jiang Pengfei, Liang Haoyu.
“As expected, they’ve all stepped into the Acquired Stage.”
Chu Yunfan could sense from afar that these three people were different from the rest of the students. The energy in their bodies had been connected as one. It was clear that they had stepped into the Acquired Stage. These three were the cream of the crop among this batch of students. They were also the top elites of the entire human race.
Chu Yunfan knew that these three had probably long been on the list of people that the Federation Government would focus on nurturing. Most of the students from Federation University were the pillars of human society. These three were among the small group of people who had hope of making it as the pinnacles of human society—the president of the Federation, the Grand Marshal, the head of a major financial magnate, and so on. These positions would determine the future of human society and they all had hope of reaching such positions.
But Chu Yunfan was not discouraged. A year ago, he had only been one among the countless students. However, he was now able to compete with the most outstanding students of the Federation. Given some more time, he would definitely be able to catch up to these people.
Chu Yunfan had already stepped into the sixth level of the Energy Refinement Stage. The Acquired Stage was not far off!
These students gathered together and stood in neat formations. Everyone was preparing for the final battle. They were testing the weapons and checking the armor on their bodies to make sure they were in good condition.
These were all human elites. Of course, they were not as messy as the common rabble.
Chu Yunfan’s eyes darted around and spotted his teammates, along with Yao Xueyi and the others from the base. However, Chu Yunfan did not quickly step forward and acknowledge them because he knew that it was not the right time yet.
Not long after, Chu Yunfan received a mass message saying that it was almost time to launch the attack. Numerous criminals stood atop the walls surrounding the mine. Compared to the base that Chu Yunfan had previously attacked, this mine was on a completely different level. The base was nothing compared to the big picture.
Thousands stood atop the walls of the mine and were densely packed together. This made the attacks from these students much more difficult.
Immediately after, there was a burst of loud shouts. Dong Fanghao, Jiang Pengfei, and Liang Haoyu led their troops to attack the mine from three different directions. It was clear they did not want to interfere with each other, so they each attacked one side. Who would get the most points would depend on their abilities.
Each of them led over two thousand students, so it was clear that they did not need to worry. Their numbers alone were enough to crush the condemned criminals standing on these mine walls.
Chu Yunfan followed the crowd and attacked the wall. But the walls were not very wide and there was not enough space for too many people. This was the key reason why the students’ numerical advantage could not be fully unleashed for a while.
Both sides did not hold back. This was a life and death battle, and it was not a situation where they could afford to hesitate.
For a time, the battle was in a stalemate. However, the students had the advantage in terms of numbers. In addition, these students were elites among the elites, the greatest of the greatest.
After a period of stalemate, the students managed to open a path and thousands poured into the mine.
Inside the mine were many criminals. At a glance, intense battles were happening everywhere.
Chu Yunfan flew over the wall. Just as he landed, he saw a tall criminal on the other side. The criminal was grinning hideously as he brandished the huge ax in his hand. He pounced toward Chu Yunfan, and his ax headed straight for Chu Yunfan.
This ax was as tall as a person and extremely thick and heavy. If it connected with its target, the resulting consequences would be obvious. It was extremely terrifying.
A person could be split into two by an ax. It was one of the best heavy weapons around.
Ordinary students would not dare to clash head-on with such a heavy weapon. Unfortunately, this tall criminal had met the wrong person.
Facing this criminal who was rushing straight at him, Chu Yunfan was fearless. He merely raised his eyebrows slightly. Then, the Shadowless Saber appeared in his hand and smashed down on the huge ax.
Bam!
The tall criminal was flying away at a speed faster than he had come.
Boom!
The tall criminal landed on the ground and took a few steps back before he collapsed. He could not believe that there was someone who had such great strength. Just a casual slash had sent him flying. And before he could react, he realized that an eagle-like figure was swooping down on him.
Using the Thousand Pound Drop, Chu Yunfan came to stand in front of this criminal in the blink of an eye.
A black light flashed!
The head of this tall criminal was instantly separated from his body as his head was chopped off.
