On the ancient tree, Su Wan and the others of the Star Academy realized that things were going downhill.
The captain of the two remaining academies looked up at them. It was obvious that they had been discovered.
It was obvious that the enemy had discovered them!
"Eh? As I said, this chaotic battle happened so suddenly that there was definitely something wrong with it!"
Dongchuan Academy’s captain had a black silk ribbon tied around his head. He sneered in disdain.
The captain of North Sky Academy also smiled sinisterly. "Really? You think you can win the championship in this way?" He turned to the captain of Dongchuan Academy. "Why don’t we band together and eliminate this stupid academy?"
When the captain of the North Sky Academy suggested this, the captain of the Dongchuan Academy nodded.
"Paladin, attack!"
The main troop of the North Sky Academy was the Paladin Army.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Spears were hurled at the top of the ancient tree.
"Retreat!" shouted Su Wan.
North Sky Academy and Dongchuan Academy were both famous academies. If the Star Academy had to face them together, the Star Academy might not be their match.
The two academies wanted to band together and attack at the same time.
Facing countless spears, everyone displayed their capabilities. They had made it to the Top Ten, after all. Everyone dodged the spears effectively.
But the problem was...
They had all scattered in different directions to avoid the spears.
"Everyone has dispersed!" said Su Wan. "Scammer Xu, what do we do?"
Su Wan pulled at Xu Yuan and fled in a different direction.
The Lords of the two academies had already made up their minds to eliminate the Star Academy.
Behind Su Wan, Xu Yuan flapped his wings and followed her. He yawned as if he hadn’t slept enough. To him, these battles were meaningless.
"What do we do?!" asked Su Wan again.
Xu Yuan remained indifferent.
"Detestable!" exclaimed Su Wan.
The White Dragon Saint’s plan with the Everchanging Monster was supposed to be foolproof! They had not expected to be discovered this soon.
If those two academies hadn’t noticed them, they could have used the Everchanging Monster to create trouble between them. However, their plan failed.
"With a monster like that, it was only a matter of time before we were discovered anyway," said Xu Yuan. "It’s not like there aren’t other plans besides the Everchanging Monster."
Su Wan stopped in her tracks. She looked at Xu Yuan in disbelief. "What do you mean, Scammer Xu? Just say it!"
Su Wan was looking forward to whatever plan Xu Yuan had come up with. She recalled that Skeleton Soldiers turned into Skeleton Knights under his ability. Even the Golden Behemoth occasionally turned into Black Gold Behemoth.
The defective Everchanging Monster had turned into an effective Everchanging Monster because of Xu Yuan’s ability.
Therefore, Su Wan was eager to see what Xu Yuan had planned next.
"Scammer Xu, share your attribute panel with me. I want to take a look. Just this once, please!" said Su Wan.
Su Wan hadn’t seen his attribute panel in a long time. She was sure Xu Yuan must have gained a lot of new and strange skills.
She remembered when he was in a hurry to upgrade the Territory Core to Level 2. She had told him she would do it if he agreed to show her at least one of his abilities.
And at that time, Xu Yuan had shown her his attribute panel where she could see one of his abilities.
Unfortunately, Su Wan hadn’t had the opportunity to ask him to show his attribute panel once again.
Su Wan asked him now but didn’t hold any expectations that he would agree to her request. Xu Yuan was too secretive and might not show her anything at all.
Su Wan was pleasantly surprised when Xu Yuan agreed to show her his attribute panel this time.
Xu Yuan’s attribute panel appeared in front of Su Wan. In the abilities section, there was one very useful ability.
[Lost In the Night: When this Night Magic is cast, within the range of the magic array, enemies with weak willpower will be lost in the darkness and become its slaves.]
"This skill is awesome!" said Su Wan. "Don’t tell me you can make the enemy troops betray their master!"
Su Wan thought of a special unit in her territory called the Soul Altar. Within the range of the Soul Altar, once the enemy died, they could be revived as their own troop. When she saw the Lost in the Night ability, she thought it might have a similar effect to the Soul Altar.
Xu Yuan’s lazy voice said, "I am not sure. I haven’t used the ability before." He yawned.
Su Wan was now aware of the issue. "Scammer Xu, you just obtained this ability recently, didn’t you?"
Su Wan was sure that he had received this ability recently and hadn’t had the time to use it.
"Not really," said Xu Yuan. "I obtained it a long time ago. I just haven’t used it because I have too many other abilities."
Su Wan was frustrated. ’Too many abilities?’
She really wanted to know how many abilities Xu Yuan actually had. She calmed herself down. At least, she understood something out of this. ’I was right. Scammer Xu is more suitable in supporting the troops than fighting directly,’ she thought.
Xu Yuan’s ability was more suitable to support other troops than fighting himself. She thought about the many times he had strengthened the troops through his ability. She had never seen him fight.
Su Wan was now even more certain of her guess. Xu Yuan had a stronger auxiliary ability than a combat ability.
At that time, Su Wan heard creatures chasing her from behind. "Werewolves!"
Su Wan was shocked. She hadn’t expected that the Lords would send Werewolves to chase after them.
"Master, leave me to deal with these pesky creatures," said the White Dragon Saint. He had bloodlust in his heart. He wanted to kill all the Werewolves.
However, Xu Yuan stopped him. "What’s the hurry?" he said. "Let me try my ability on them instead."
He activated the Lost in the Night ability.
A thick, dark mist spread and surrounded the whole area in a short time. The Werewolves had been very angry in the beginning. They were roaring and snapping around, trying to find Su Wan and the other Lords.
However, their roars gradually softened. They quietened and walked to Xu Yuan’s side, waiting for his command.
