With a flash, he was already in front of the stone aspect.

As though it had sensed a threat, the stone aspect lifted its battle ax up, looking somewhat ready for battle. It continued to inch closer.

Liu Feng came to an abrupt stop as he thrust forward with the white dragon spear. He stretched it as far out as he could towards the stone aspect.

The stone aspect held the battle ax with both hands and swung down. It targeted Liu Feng alone and ignored his spear.

“Boom!” The white dragon spear struck the stone aspect and left a small hole on its body. But the battle ax swung downwards, bringing forth an ominous inertia.

Liu Feng’s figure flickered as he dodged the battle ax. The white dragon spear extended outwards and struck the stone aspect once again.

Every attack left a small hole on the stone aspect’s body as it swung its battle ax endlessly. Unfortunately, the stone aspect’s movements were a tad too slow and obvious and were unable to land an attack on the agile and ridiculously fast Liu Feng.

To prevent losing control over his speed, Liu Feng controlled himself to be within a fixed speed. Although his offensive strength had not been strengthened, it was far better than losing control. This was the strategy that he had polished and refined after the immense strengthening when he and Lan Xuanyu worked together.

He discovered that what he was most afraid of was not about the lack of offensive strength, but losing control. Losing control over one careless move meant that the whole game would be lost.

“Frenzie, come back.” Lan Xuanyu shouted out to Liu Feng.

Liu Feng turned with the white dragon spear in hand and returned to Lan Xuanyu.

“This monster is slow and although it has strong defensive capabilities, it should not be able to withstand my attack after sufficient time. If I were to go full force, I should be able to smash it.” Liu Feng quickly rationalized his thoughts out.

“En, we’re not in a rush, let’s wait for it to come closer.” Lan Xuanyu whispered.

The stone aspect continued to inch forward. After a bit of time, the distance between them was less than 10 meters.

Lan Xuanyu: “When it is right in front of us in a while, we will smash it with our full force.” While saying that, the golden patterned Blue Silver Grass appeared on his right hand, to which he placed on Liu Feng’s shoulder.

The white dragon spear in Liu Feng’s hand lit up as the dragon eyes opened, unleashing an extremely sharp aura.

Just as the stone aspect closed in, Liu Feng roared: “I’ll take the lead.” With that, he sprung forward with a speed faster than before, appearing right in front of the stone aspect in an instant. The white dragon spear in his hand was like a dragon leaping out of the ocean as he thrust it forward. Before the stone aspect could even prepare to launch an attack with its battle ax, the spear was thrust into its chest.

Rock fragments flew as a large cavity appeared on the stone aspect’s chest. Liu Feng swung the spear downwards, borrowing the momentum to swing his entire body up. With a leap, he landed on the top of the stone aspect. This prevented the stone aspect to hit him with the battle ax and at the same time causing more damage will pulling the spear out.

“Pu”, he landed a blow and smashed half of the stone aspect’s head.

At the same time, Lan Xuanyu rushed forward and leaned to the left, nimbly avoiding the battle ax. Identifying that the stone aspect’s right hand was the main fulcrum for the battle ax, he clenched his own right hand into a fist that had golden scales and threw a powerful punch forward.

“Booom”. The stone aspect’s right arm was struck numb as the battle ax fell to the ground. Lan Xuanyu did a flip and unleashed another punch on the stone aspect’s shoulder.

The white dragon spear in Liu Feng’s hands snaked in and out as he jumped down from the stone aspect, landing three blows one after another on the stone aspect’s head, completely rendering it to pieces.

“Bang! Boom! Boom!”

The instant the head was smashed into pieces, the entire frame collapsed and turned into rubble.

Lan Xuanyu retreated just in time to prevent himself from being smashed by the falling rocks.

“It was really not that strong!” Qian Lei clicked his tongue and commented from behind.

Liu Feng performed a flip and landed on top of the rubble with the speartip pointing towards, emitting a powerful and domineering aura. The aura from the white dragon spear in his hand gradually receded as the strength amplification provided by Lan Xuanyu disappeared.

He leaped downwards and gave a thumbs up to Lan Xuanyu. In fact, it could be said that he alone had destroyed the stone aspect. And it was settled in a swift manner. He was no longer lacking in any way like before.

Lan Xuanyu returned a thumbs up to him.

“What do we do now?” Qian Lei walked forward excitedly Seeing Lan Xuanyu and Liu Feng’s coordination, he had become restless. Everyone wanted to display their own strength in the test!

Lan Xuanyu smiled. “We won’t do anything and just wait here.” While saying that, he pointed to the ground and sat cross-legged.

They were at a dead end with a wall behind them and a pound of stone rubble in front of them. Seated down, they naturally became concealed by the stone rubble from the other side of the path.

“We’re going to skive?” Qian Lei stared at Lan Xuanyu, shocked.

Lan Xuanyu fumed: “Why are you making it sound so shameful? This is called honing our strength and biding our time. Our chance of being discovered here is small. And it won’t be easy to discover another location like this in the maze. We shall sit here and wait. We will wait until the others have exhausted and fought amongst themselves for a while, it won’t be too late for us to engage them then.”

Hearing his words, Liu Feng’s expression turned weird as well. He had just eliminated the stone aspect to his satisfaction and was prepared to fight further. Who would have thought that Lan Xuanyu would come up with such a tactic?

“Xuanyu, who would have thought that hidden behind your thick brows and eyes will be a sinister mind! Who would have thought?”

“How am I sinister? This is called strategy.” Lan Xuanyu replied indifferently.

“Alright.”

Liu Feng and Qian Lei sat beside him as the stone rubble concealed the three figures perfectly. If another person stood from the other end of the passageway and looked in, all they would see is a dead end in the distance, followed by rubble. That was all.

Lan Xuanyu hauled the battle ax to his side. Despite the immense weight, he was able to move it with his strength. I’ll treat it as a weapon. It ain’t that bad.

At the same moment within the training grounds, eight teachers stood in front of and observed a large screen.

The large screen had divided equally into 10 images that reflected the situations the 10 teams were in.

The teachers would occasionally nod their heads or frown. Obviously, they all had different opinions towards the students.

Mu Zhongtian’s eyes remained fixed on Lan Xuanyu’s group the entire time. From the previous incident, he placed more importance on Lan Xuanyu as compared to the other students.

Lan Xuanyu’s ability to obtain 10 additional points twice had surprised him. He never expected Lan Xuanyu to be of such caliber.

To be safe from being eliminated in the first term was already considered good. After all, his Soul Power was only at the 14th rank. Compared to his peers in the Elite Junior class, he was definitely lacking.

According to his knowledge, Lu Qianxun had the highest cultivation. Having broken through the 19th rank, Lu Qianxun was a step to the realm of the second soul ring. The institute was only satisfied to see such a level.

For the sake of grooming the Elite Junior class, the institute not only assembled the strongest and most qualified teachers, but they had also dispatched a few middle school teachers over to teach the Elite Junior class. All the mecha classes for the Elite Junior class were taught by middle school teachers.

The current term’s test was viewed especially heavily; It was to the extent that even the vice president was amongst the teachers.

After three months of training, the school hoped to watch the carefully selected students transform into extraordinary and powerful students!

Mu Zhongtian had naturally witnessed the situation where Lan Xuanyu and Liu Feng faced against the stone aspect.

“Eh, Liu Feng’s offensive capabilities…” Mu Zhongtian quickly realized that when Liu Feng struck the stone aspect the second time, his offense abilities had increased by a great margin.

The stone aspect was designed to not be too strong because the school viewed the student’s coordination to be the most important and thus did not manipulate the maze to be too powerful. Otherwise, everyone would not have the opportunity of performing.

But the speed at which they had dealt with the stone aspect was too fast. Liu Feng’s attack was completely unlike the past. What’s going on?
