The real challenge!
Cheng Xiao's simple words seemed to turn into a heavy despair, pressing down on the heads of all the new students.
Only now did Cheng Xiao reveal his true strength!
What did those thousands of challengers before mean to Cheng Xiao?
A warm-up??!!
"Is this guy's energy really this strong? He's been fighting until dark, he's not tired, but I'm getting sleepy just watching." Ai Tutu yawned.
She looked at Mu Nujiao beside her and found that Mu Nujiao's eyes were practically glued to Cheng Xiao.
The scattered light from the barrier seemed to be blooming for Cheng Xiao, highlighting the aura of 'invincibility'!
"Mu Nujiao." Ai Tutu called out.
Mu Nujiao didn't respond, so she raised her voice a bit:
"Mu Nujiao!"
"Wh- what is it?" Mu Nujiao's delicate body trembled, and she looked at Ai Tutu with a puzzled expression.
"Mu Nujiao, you're the eldest young lady of the Mu Family, can't you pay a little attention to your image?" Ai Tutu said speechlessly:
"You usually have the nerve to criticize me for being boy-crazy, but now you're so smitten with Cheng Xiao, you're not much better than me."
Mu Nujiao's face was thin-skinned, her cheeks instantly flushed with two streaks of crimson, and she angrily rebuked:
"Ai Tutu!"
Ai Tutu saw Mu Nujiao's embarrassment and felt emboldened, completely different from how she looked when she used to be scolded, and asked:
"I'm going to buy something to eat, what do you guys want?"
"Buying things to eat, won't that be inappropriate?" Mu Nujiao couldn't help but ask.
"Mu Nujiao, haven't you noticed? Cheng Xiao clearly intends to defeat all the new students until they submit. It's only a thousand people now, there are over three thousand more spots after this, he won't finish fighting until dawn."
Ai Tutu pointed at the senior students sitting at the top of the spectator stands: "Look, those senior brothers and sisters have already started eating."
Mu Nujiao looked in the direction she pointed, and indeed, those senior students who enjoyed watching the excitement had already bought dinner and late-night snacks.
Even more excessive, a senior student from the Fire Element even set up a barbecue grill in public.
According to the rules, this wasn't allowed, but now the focus of the entire venue was on Cheng Xiao, who would care about these things?
"Then, alright, just buy me a bowl of mala tang." Mu Nujiao was a little embarrassed, and asked Ye Xin Xia:
"What about Xin Xia?"
"I'll have the same as Mu Nujiao."
"Okay, I'll go buy it then."
...
Ye Xin Xia looked towards Ai Tutu's departing back, intentionally or unintentionally, and sighed inwardly.
Cheng Xiao Gege is truly too outstanding, there will probably be even more women who admire Cheng Xiao Gege in the future, right?
...
Cheng Xiao could be said to have become famous in one battle, and this battle was still ongoing.
Those magic web reporters who had come prepared to record earlier were even more ecstatic.
The news uploaded now saw its viewership soaring, directly topping the trending lists on several magic web platforms!
"The only Undead Element student of Mingzhu Academy openly challenges all new students, defeating thousands and standing tall!"
"Undead Element new student becomes the final BOSS, Shanghai's prodigies join forces to attack, but are suppressed instead!"
"Two Commander-level Undead are invincible, battling through the night, sweeping away everything!"
The news that spread was initially thought to be an exaggeration.
But as time gradually passed, everyone realized the seriousness of the matter.
Twelve hundred, fourteen hundred, sixteen hundred, two thousand!
It was already three in the morning, and nearly half of the school's new students had been defeated by Cheng Xiao!
The number of defeated people in the thousands jumped, and the entire Mingzhu Academy completely erupted.
Those senior students from Qing Campus and students from Main Campus all came to watch in person.
Many people also discovered the top-ranked prodigies from different departments in the Main Campus, and even the department heads were attracted.
These top-ranked geniuses from the Main Campus were basically the most elite Intermediate-level mages, with double spirit seeds, and spirit-level Magic Tools and Magic Tools as a baseline.
But from their shocked expressions and gazes, it was clear how much the battle on the field was subverting their understanding!
Challenging all the new students with the strength of one person.
Even the department heads of the Main Campus couldn't do it.
"This kid, will he ever get tired?" Even Teacher Gu Han, who was the referee, swallowed.
Even as a High-Rank, he didn't think he could reach Cheng Xiao's level.
The battle lasted for a full fifteen hours, and Cheng Xiao's condition was still good. Judging by his complexion, his magic energy definitely hadn't dropped below half!
Aside from dealing with those few Middle-Rank who joined forces, Cheng Xiao hadn't made a move himself.
But where did Cheng Xiao get so much Undead Element magic energy to support the actions of these two Commander-level Undead?
Teacher Gu Han was completely baffled.
Seeing this, Cheng Xiao couldn't be viewed as a normal mage; he was simply an astonishing monster.
In the spectator stands.
Ai Tutu leaned on Mu Nujiao's shoulder, her eyelids heavy, but couldn't sleep due to the surrounding noise.
"Mu Nujiao, that guy has been fighting for most of the day and doesn't seem tired at all. With this stamina, you'll be blessed in the future." Ai Tutu teased weakly.
Mu Nujiao didn't understand what Ai Tutu meant at first, but after a few seconds of thought, she immediately pushed her away.
Mu Nujiao's cheeks were flushed red, and she said irritably:
"If you dare to talk nonsense again, go sleep on the floor!"
Ai Tutu chuckled, and after acting cute, leaned back again.
There were many people in Ai Tutu's situation, but the new students couldn't leave due to regulations.
Senior students, however, had no restrictions and could go back to sleep when they were tired.
...
On the arena.
"The challengers are getting fewer and fewer, are the two War General Level too much of a blow to the new students?"
Cheng Xiao looked at the two Corps Commanders in front of him, his face full of helplessness.
By showing too much strength, the new students lost the desire to challenge, and some even didn't dare to go on stage.
Since that was the case, Cheng Xiao said:
"Yegret, Bell, you two return to recover first."
"Ya ya ya? King, your subordinate can still fight!"
Bell was loyal and eager to serve, clearly wanting to continue fighting for Cheng Xiao.
Yegret instantly understood Cheng Xiao's meaning, and without waiting for Cheng Xiao to speak, he pulled the reluctant Bell back into the shadow.
"Huh? Why did he recall the shadows? Is it because he doesn't have enough magic energy?"
"We lost over two thousand people, and finally we've gotten rid of those two War Generals!"
"Brothers, those two War Generals have been recalled by him, let's hurry up and go! Don't give the War General Undead a chance to breathe!"
...
Perhaps the oppressive feeling given by the War Generals was too strong.
Now that the War General Level were gone, the challengers rushed onto the stage, completely forgetting their previous fear.
After all, facing Intermediate-level mages was much better than facing War General Level!
And this was exactly what Cheng Xiao wanted to see.
The new batch of challengers was a full fifteen people, it seemed they were truly scared and wanted to resolve Cheng Xiao in one go.
"Lowering the difficulty, and sure enough, they have the courage to come up and challenge again." Cheng Xiao's face still held that calm smile.
He slowly opened his mouth and spoke that command again:
"Stand up!"
