As these few individuals appeared, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Chen Baiwen, Yu Hongbo, Zhu Xinjue!
It was the team from Yanzhou University!
Who would have thought that they would also show up here?
Zhu Xinjue's eyes immediately found Xiang Beifei in the crowd; his heart missed a beat, and then a resentful expression flashed across his face, but he quickly concealed this resentment.
Because their current alliance with Qingzhou University had fallen apart, there was no way to join forces against Xiang Beifei.
When Yu Hongbo and Chen Baiwen saw Xiang Beifei, they were also slightly shocked! The two exchanged a glance involuntarily!
Just yesterday, they had thought about joining forces with Qingzhou University to deal with Xiang Beifei, but they hadn't found him. Instead, Hou Chengwu from Qingzhou University ended up dead.
They hadn't expected to encounter Xiang Beifei in this place either.
"Don't panic! He probably doesn't know about yesterday's incident!"
Chen Baiwen made a gesture to Yu Hongbo and the others, and without speaking, they all understood each other's meaning.
Yu Hongbo composed himself and said, "Xiang Beifei, I've long admired your name. I am Yu Hongbo, captain of the Yanzhou University team."
Chen Baiwen also nodded slightly but did not speak.
Xiang Beifei regarded the people from Yanzhou University thoughtfully, his gaze sweeping over them before resting briefly on Zhu Xinjue, and then after a long moment, he said, "What brings you here?"
"After we entered these withered woods, we realized something was wrong, so we ran up this mountain. The situation outside is pretty bad; did you also encounter those strange tree creatures just now?" Yu Hongbo asked.
"That's right." Xiang Beifei replied without revealing anything.
"Are you all okay?" Yu Hongbo inquired.
"Not too bad." Xiang Beifei glanced back at Tang He. Tang He was from Qingzhou University, and the situation of their team now seemed quite bleak.
When Tang He saw Yu Hongbo and the others, he too showed an expression of shock; he hadn't expected to run into the people from Yanzhou University there. Hou Chengwu from Qingzhou University had died at the hands of "Zhu Pengfei"!
However, he didn't dare to say much now. Being merely a late-stage Qi-Controlling SR-level Awakener, without any teammates around, he was no match for these people from Yanzhou University.
"How long have you been in these withered woods?" Xiang Beifei asked.
"We came in last night!" Yu Hongbo replied.
"Last night? Have you been here for nearly a day?" Xiang Beifei was somewhat surprised.
"Yes, we have been here since last night!"
Now, Yu Hongbo no longer had the intention to deal with Xiang Beifei. On the contrary, there was a hint of wanting to act together with Xiang Beifei.
Because their team was also in a very difficult situation.
This place was too peculiar; they were trapped and couldn't find a way out. Seeing Xiang Beifei, Yu Hongbo still felt a glimmer of hope.
Xiang Beifei was strong, maybe he had a way out!
"So, are you all right?" Xiang Beifei asked.
"One of us had an accident." Yu Hongbo said with a heavy tone.
Currently, only four members were left in their team.
"Have you been on this mountain since last night until now?" Xiang Beifei inquired.
"Not exactly, at first, we were walking through the withered woods, but then suddenly, it got dark, and the situation seemed wrong, so we ran to the mountain. We noticed that the tree creatures dared not up, which gave us some relief. We weren't initially on this mountain but another one."
"So, you are that N-level Awakener, Xiang Beifei?"
Chen Baiwen's expression was not pleasant when facing Xiang Beifei; he actually didn't want to come up here. Given the previous situation, Hou Chengwu's loss was inexplicable; he hadn't even seen clearly how Hou Chengwu had lost.
If he were to lose to an N-level student, that would almost certainly ruin his reputation.
However, if he did not come up to face Xiang Beifei, it would make him seem even more like a coward, tantamount to indirectly proving that he, an eminent SSR-level Awakener, was afraid of an N-level!
That meant Xiang Beifei would practically win without fighting.
After all, like Hou Chengwu, he had scorned Liangzhou University for recruiting N-level students and was persuaded by other universities not to go to Liangzhou.
Having chosen to forego Liangzhou University, Chen Baiwen was an SSR with high self-esteem; how could he not prove himself?
Xiang Beifei just looked calmly at Zhu Xinjue, but a murderous intent appeared in the depths of his eyes.
He had not killed this man last time. Faced with a clear intent to kill him, he must kill Zhu Xinjue this time!
However, just as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt his knees buckle; with a "snap," he unexpectedly knelt in front of Xiang Beifei!
Zhu Xinjue and the others were also stunned!
"Hou Chengwu, what are you doing?" Chen Baiwen asked in astonishment.
Hou Chengwu was shocked by his own actions as well!
Why had he knelt down?
Wasn't it agreed that Xiang Beifei would be the one thrown off?
Why had he knelt down instead?
Hou Chengwu's face turned beet-red as he tried angrily to stand up but found that no matter what, he couldn't do it!
But just then, Hou Chengwu, with his keen eyes, suddenly saw Xiang Beifei's figure and loudly exclaimed, "There he is!"
This time everyone saw clearly; Xiang Beifei was indeed a real person!
