Although they really wanted to directly deal with the Spirit Hall team that they found so repulsive, since Lu Jingming had no intention of acting, they did not move rashly.
"Their strength is decent, and besides, this is a simulated universe. Killing them here wouldn't be very meaningful. If you really dislike them, there will be plenty of opportunities to deal with them later," Lu Jingming said, shaking his head gently.
He knew that March 7th and the others were inherently kind and could not stand an evil organization like the Spirit Hall.
However, getting rid of them in the simulated universe was not only pointless but also meant missing out on many interesting developments.
But if they were to encounter these evil spirit masters in reality, he wouldn't stop March 7th and the others from acting. At that point, those evil spirit masters could only blame their bad luck.
"Alright, so what should we do next?" March 7th quickly put the Spirit Hall team out of her mind and refocused on the competition.
"Let's split up. If we stick together, we'll be too strong," Lu Jingming suggested.
"Okay! I want to be in a group with Sister Robin," March 7th's eyes immediately lit up. She affectionately took Robin's arm, her face filled with excitement.
As a support, Robin's direct combat ability was relatively weak, so she needed someone to protect her. Having March 7th by her side was more than enough.
Lu Jingming's suggestion was unanimously accepted by everyone.
After all, if they acted together, their strength would be too overwhelming. Furthermore, they weren't competing for the championship, so there was no need to put too much pressure on the other teams.
Soon, the seven of them split up. Apart from March 7th and Robin's pair, the others all went on their own.
Lu Jingming looked in the direction where Huo Yuhao and the others had left. After thinking for a moment, he decided to follow them.
His intuition told him that by following the Spirit Hall team, he might witness more interesting things.
On the other side, Wang Qiu'er, Ye Guyi, Lan Susu, Lan Luoluo, Meng Hongchen, Xiao Hongchen, and Lan Ruoruo, who was also a part of the Common Alliance with Ye Guyi, formed a team of exactly seven.
Lan Ruoruo was sent to St. Freya Academy with Ye Guyi by Shangguan Wei'er. Although her talent was not as good as Ye Guyi's, it was still quite impressive.
Although her surname was also Lan, she had no blood relation to the Lan sisters, as she was from the Sun-Moon Empire.
But precisely because of this, she had a good relationship with the Lan sisters. Coupled with her friendship with Ye Guyi, they invited her to join the team when they were short on people.
At this moment, the seven of them were slowly making their way toward the center of the island, collecting resources along the way.
They were lucky. They hadn't encountered any other teams when they first landed and only ran into one team while gathering supplies.
But with Wang Qiu'er, Meng Hongchen, Xiao Hongchen, and Ye Guyi, who were all Spirit Kings, plus the Lan twin sisters and Lan Ruoruo, who were three talented Spirit Ancestors, that team could only obediently become 'delivery people,' handing over their supplies to them.
Just then, a red dot very close to them lit up on the virtual map, instantly drawing everyone's attention.
Having read the rules of the competition, they knew that a red dot on the map meant a high-level supply drop had appeared.
"It's so close to us. Should we go?" Meng Hongchen looked at Wang Qiu'er.
Wang Qiu'er was the current captain of the team, as she had won the most sparring matches in their daily practice.
"Go, of course, we're going!" Wang Qiu'er immediately summoned her Golden Dragon Spear.
In this competition, she feared no one except Lu Jingming and his team.
Besides, Lu Jingming and his team had made it clear that they would not be competing for the championship, so they had a great chance.
If they could get more high-level supplies, their chances of winning would naturally be greater.
Not just Wang Qiu'er, but Ye Guyi and Xiao Hongchen were also proud and confident in their own strength. They had no fear and immediately set off toward the high-level supply drop.
Not only Wang Qiu'er and her team, but all the teams on the island could see the location of the high-level supplies.
Except for the teams that were too far away, most of the teams in the vicinity chose to rush toward the high-level supply drop.
Of course, a small number of teams played it safe, unwilling to participate in the upcoming free-for-all. They chose to stay away from the high-level supply drop.
There were also some 'sneaky' teams that chose to ambush near the high-level supply drop, planning to pick up the leftovers after the battle was over.
Teams with various mindsets existed, and the first climax of the Battle Royale competition was about to begin.
The audience outside the venue all turned their screens to the high-level supply drop, ready to watch the upcoming melee.
A red pillar of light shot up into the sky. Within the pillar, a huge chest radiated a dazzling light, clearly showing that this was the chest containing the high-level supplies.
With such a noticeable special effect, even without a map marker, people nearby could easily spot it.
The first to arrive was the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy team. Yu Tianheng led Dugu Yan and the others, rushing toward the chest as quickly as possible, clearly wanting to get the high-level supplies and then retreat quickly.
But it was obvious that the simulated universe would not let them succeed so easily.
Opening the chest required one minute.
When they saw the countdown to open the chest, Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan were instantly dumbfounded. They had no idea there was a countdown to open the chest!
"Captain, why don't we retreat first? The other teams are probably on their way and will be here soon!"
Osler, a member of the Heaven Dou team, felt an unprecedented level of tension. Just thinking about the other teams rushing toward them, or even ambushing them nearby, made him break out in a cold sweat.
"What are you afraid of? We are the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy team." Yufeng feigned calmness, but he couldn't help but look around.
Yu Tianheng's face was filled with hesitation. He also understood that the first team to get the supplies from the chest would likely become the target of all the other teams.
But he really couldn't bear to part with the supplies in the chest. After all, they were the closest and had arrived first. It made no sense to give up.
"Just a little longer, it's almost done!" Yu Tianheng gritted his teeth, ultimately unable to resist the temptation of the high-level supplies.
The Invincible Golden Body and the Teleportation Ring alone from the supply list could greatly enhance their strength. How could they give up so easily?
Soon, one minute passed, and no other teams had arrived. Yu Tianheng and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
The chest opened. Looking at the neatly arranged spirit tools inside, as well as some items that were clearly pills and potions, Yu Tianheng's face couldn't help but show a look of pleasant surprise.
But in the next moment, a dragon's roar echoed around them. A giant dragon, condensed from raging blue lightning, opened its huge, blood-filled mouth and bit down on them.
"Not good!" Shi Mo and Shi Mo, two members of the Heaven Dou team, immediately released their Mysterious Tortoise spirits and held their tortoise shell shields in front of the team.
But in the next second, the two of them were sent flying back by the lightning dragon. The raging lightning wreaked havoc, instantly destroying their bodies.
When the two of them landed on the ground, they had already been turned into two scorched lumps.
Instant kill! With just one strike, two Spirit Ancestor-level defense-type spirit masters were instantly killed. Their charred bodies turned into specks of light and dissipated, leaving behind only two undamaged blue revive chips.
"How is this possible!" Yu Tianheng and the others' faces turned pale with shock as they witnessed the tragic state of their two teammates.
One must know that the Mysterious Tortoise spirit that Shi Mo and Shi Mo had was by no means ordinary. Even though they had defended in a hurry and didn't have time to use their spirit abilities, they should not have been instantly killed!
"Leave the supplies, and you can get out of here!"
Just then, not far away, a tall and burly figure led six other figures, slowly approaching with steady steps.
The person at the front had short blue hair and a firm face. His whole body was surrounded by threads of lightning, and blue dragon scales faintly appeared on his body.
Two yellow, two purple, and one black spirit ring rhythmically fluctuated on his body. This scene instantly made Yu Tianheng and the others' faces extremely ugly.
"Spirit King!" Yu Tianheng gritted his teeth and squeezed out these two words. His face was exceptionally gloomy.
No wonder his two teammates were instantly killed. The huge gap in spirit power, coupled with the opponent's powerful spirit and a premeditated sneak attack, made it no wonder that Shi Mo and Shi Mo couldn't block it.
However, the more Yu Tianheng looked at the opponent's spirit, the more he felt it was similar to his own Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon spirit. This couldn't help but make him feel suspicious.
"You bastard!" Dugu Yan's temper was always fiery, and she immediately used her spirit to possess her body.
Two yellow and two purple spirit rings appeared in order, circling her body.
Her legs gradually transformed into a snake's tail. A green scale slowly appeared between her eyebrows, and purple poisonous mist quickly spread from her body. Her whole being instantly radiated a dangerous aura.
As her third spirit ring shone, Dugu Yan suddenly opened her mouth. A thick purple poisonous mist spewed out like a surging tide, rapidly sweeping toward the opponent.
"You're overestimating yourself!" Yu Tianlong just snorted when he saw this and quickly brought his hands together.
In an instant, a blue ball of lightning condensed in his palm. And as he continuously compressed it, the blue lightning ball instantly turned into a deep black.
Then, he pushed his hands forward forcefully. The black lightning ball shot out like a launched arrow, carrying a wildly powerful force of lightning. It was like a roaring beast, charging fiercely toward Dugu Yan.
And that seemingly very dangerous purple poisonous mist appeared so vulnerable in front of this violent lightning power.
The moment the poisonous mist came into contact with the current, it was forcefully disintegrated by the power of the lightning. It couldn't even get close to Yu Tianlong and the others and was completely consumed by the surging lightning in mid-air.
"Yan Yan, be careful!" Yu Tianheng's face changed drastically. Without hesitation, he also used his spirit to possess his body.
His arms instantly transformed into two strong, blue dragon claws. His body was tightly wrapped in a layer of blue lightning, and he quickly blocked in front of Dugu Yan.
"Boom!" The black lightning ball heavily struck Yu Tianheng's arms, instantly causing a fierce explosion.
The black lightning wildly swept out in all directions, and in the blink of an eye, it enveloped Dugu Yan and the others.
