Chapter 46: Angkor, Don't Let Them Escape!

---

Xu Yan's Calculations

Xu Yan pretended to be weak,

Hoping to slip away unnoticed.

It wasn't worth the risk.

The second stage had just begun.

If he wasn't 100% certain of victory,

He couldn't afford to gamble.

If he lost—

He'd fail his system task.

He'd miss his second mutation skill.

He'd ruin everything.

So for now—

He had to retreat.

---

Yu Erlong's Betrayal

But just as Xu Yan was about to leave,

Yu Erlong, captain of No. 32 Middle School,

Pointed at him and shouted anxiously.

"Brother Angkor! Don't let them escape!"

Wu Chengyuan's expression darkened.

Yu Erlong continued quickly.

---

No. 8 Middle School's "True Role"

"No. 8 Middle School is the ally of No. 16 Middle School!"

"They've been lurking in the shadows—

Spying on you!"

"Even though they're just a life-class team,

They have No. 16's invisibility!"

"That makes them the perfect scouts!"

"No one would ever think to declare war on them."

"And because of that—

They can move unseen!"

"They were gathering intel on you!"

"If you let them go now, they'll run straight to No. 16 Middle School and formulate a plan against you!"

"Do you really want to risk that?"

---

Wu Chengyuan's Cold Decision

Wu Chengyuan stared at Xu Yan.

He said nothing.

But his intent was clear.

Yu Erlong had convinced him.

---

The Power of No. 16 Middle School's Stealth

Even Wu Chengyuan had to admit—

No. 16's invisibility was terrifying.

They had been right under his nose this whole time—

And he had never noticed.

If even he couldn't detect them…

Then who else could?

No. 16 Middle School had to be eliminated.

And their minions—No. 8 Middle School—

Had to be wiped out first.

---

Wu Chengyuan Issues His Order

"Kill them."

"Then we move on to No. 16 Middle School."

---

No. 1's Mage Takes Action

A faceless mage from No. 1 Middle School raised his staff.

Underneath his mask,

A twisted grin formed.

"Don't worry."

"They won't escape."

---

Yu Erlong Pushes His Luck

Seeing that Wu Chengyuan was convinced,

Yu Erlong grinned greedily.

"Brother Angkor, see?

Our No. 32 team is useful!"

"Since we helped you…

Can we get a top-three ranking?"

"Our school has never been in the top three before."

"This is our dream!"

He looked at Wu Chengyuan pitifully.

---

No. 1 Middle School's New Ranking Order

Wu Chengyuan thought for a moment.

No. 32's ability to counter stealth was valuable.

He turned to Dong Fei, captain of No. 13 Middle School.

"Dong Fei, you were originally ranked fourth.

Any objections?"

Dong Fei shook his head immediately.

"None."

"We're honored to even be in the top three."

Wu Chengyuan looked at Yu Erlong.

"Fine. No. 2 Middle School stays second."

"No. 32 Middle School takes third."

Yu Erlong was ecstatic.

"Thank you, Brother Angkor!"

---

But Suddenly…

Just as they were settling their rankings…

A huge green circle appeared beneath them.

It glowed brightly,

Surrounding everyone present.

Their expressions changed instantly.

"What the—?!"

---

Xu Yan Strikes First

Before they could react—

Countless saplings erupted from the ground!

The vines instantly wrapped around them,

Restraining every enemy present!

---

"Second-Stage Skill—BLOSSOM!"

Countless pollen clouds spread through the air,

Shutting down every mage's magic circuits!

---

Panic Sets In

The faceless mage from No. 1 Middle School froze in horror.

His staff trembled in his hands.

"I-I'm sealed!"

"I can't use any magic!"

"What the hell are these vines?! I can't even move my staff!"

He turned to Wu Chengyuan, expecting an answer—

Only to see his captain's face frozen in shock.

---

Wu Chengyuan's Confidence Shatters

Wu Chengyuan had already activated his Second-Stage God of War Incarnation.

His level had risen to 16.

His dominance ability should have been absolute.

He should have been immune to all control effects.

And yet…

He couldn't move.

---

"THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!"

Wu Chengyuan's self-confidence collapsed.

"I have absolute body dominance!"

"I should be untouchable!"

"HOW IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE?!"

---

The Ranger Takes Aim

Despite being restrained,

The Wind-Chasing Ranger wasn't affected as much as the others.

His bow was already drawn.

A massive arrow,

Charged with terrifying power,

Was locked onto Xu Yan.

---

Gao Yang & Bai Ding Move to Protect

Seeing the incoming shot,

Gao Yang and Bai Ding immediately stepped in front of Xu Yan.

Even though they weren't combat-class—

They were wearing full Six-God equipment.

If necessary—

They'd take the hit for their captain.

---

Wang Ke Takes Flight

But before they could act—

A figure shot into the air.

Her short hair flew wildly.

Her eyes crackled with lightning.

Thunderclouds churned above.

The air filled with electricity.

---

"Thunder and Lightning Field!"

The moment Wang Ke activated her skill—

Everyone felt it.

A chill ran down their spines.

The storm brewing above them…

Was deadly.

---

A Desperate Counterattack

"RANGER!"

"Forget Xu Yan! SHOOT HER DOWN!"

The ranger immediately changed targets.

He loosed his charged arrow.

---

Wang Ke's Counterstrike

Knowing she couldn't hold out,

She hurriedly released two lightning bolts.

One missed the ranger—

The other hit Wu Chengyuan head-on.

---

Wu Chengyuan's Final Words Before Impact

His pupils shrank.

"Priest! Are you ready?!"

The priest yawned lazily.

"Yeah, yeah. Calm down."

Then—

Wu Chengyuan got struck by lightning.

And instantly fried.
