Chapter 89: Spread the rabbit

By all means, Ji You has to escape from these demons, she has no time to mourn lost love, nor can she afford to seek them out. She looked around and ran towards a direction away from the crowd.

At this moment, Lou and Lance’s groups were engaging in a fierce fight, while Shen Changqing’s men sneaked aside, waiting to benefit from the aftermath. The short-lived alliance between Yue Qiguang, Yue Qiyuan, and Chu Jiaojiao was also quietly disassembling.

Several small forces, unwilling to be left behind, stealthily staked out in the battle zone, hoping to pick off some easy gains.

...

The practice ground was in total chaos, and Ji You found a small hill to hide herself. Before hiding, she carefully checked the area for traps. As long as she wasn’t unlucky enough to be discovered, she could absolutely stay hidden until the exercise ended.

Ji You intended just that.

Fight?

Create trouble?

Opportunistic pickings?

No way, all the freshmen remaining in the field were above Double E-level; as someone of Double E-level, Ji You had no lofty ambitions. She just wanted to stay quietly and safely in this hole and survive until the end.

Time quietly slipped away.

Suddenly—

A roaring thunderous noise came from the sky.

The fighting crowd abruptly stopped and involuntarily looked up: they saw an antique-style helicopter gradually descending towards the ground, and when it was about 10 meters in the air, over a hundred rabbits were thrown out from the helicopter.

Yes!

Rabbits!

And these rabbits, whether by operational error or intentionally, were thrown directly into the middle of the chaotic crowd.

Clattering—

Everyone fighting stopped.

"Wow!"

"Props are here!"

"It’s rabbits!"

"They really are rabbits!"

"How many of them?"

Then, Principal Hong’s voice came from above: "First wave of props delivered onto the practice field: 100 rabbits, catch one and get 10 points! Props can be transferred, stolen, discarded—enjoy, gentlemen."

Just as everyone was fiercely fighting, Principal Hong’s sudden tricky move completely baffled everyone, some lucky ones had rabbits smack right into their arms, while the less fortunate, who had barely touched rabbit fur and hadn’t even time to feel pleased, were swept away by others along with the rabbits.

At that moment, who cared about fighting? Everyone was busy catching rabbits, but the rabbits weren’t waiting to be caught; their legs were especially developed, hopping and skipping away, they quickly ran into the forests and disappeared from sight.

Everyone: "..."

Lou looked at Lance, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Still want to fight?"

Lance watched as the rabbits gradually escaped from view and said resentfully, "Louise Carter, I’ll let you off for now."

After saying that, Lance raised his hand and called, "All together!"

Lance’s teammates quickly gathered around him, centering on Lance.

It was then that Lance found out he had less than 30 men left; his vision darkened.

Looking again at Louise Carter’s side, there were still about 80! The frustration in his heart knew no bounds, also realizing that without the sudden appearance of the rabbits, continuing the fight would only lead to their downfall... fortunate that the rabbits had appeared, attracting the attention of Louise’s men, otherwise—the consequences would have been unimaginable.

If not now, when?

Lance said, "Retreat!"

Including Lance, a total of 28 people swiftly left the battleground with the rabbits, quickly distancing themselves from the combat zone. Then, Lance said, "First, let’s find a secluded place to recuperate and— avoid Shen Changqing’s people as much as possible."

At this moment, Lance felt somewhat horrified.

The fight was fierce just now. What if Shen Changqing suddenly appeared, how could his 28 men stand against Shen Changqin’s 500? Even with Lou’s 80 men, they couldn’t beat Shen Changqing.

No!

How is it possible that Shen Changqing didn’t make any moves?

Could it be—

"Not good!" Lance suddenly leaped up, about to warn his teammates, when he suddenly felt a burst of strong wind. Startled, he tried to dodge but it was too late. The enemy’s attack was swift and fierce, hitting him directly in a critical spot.

Being an S-level Physique, Lance endured the attack without dying. He dodged in time, but the enemy’s next attack came swiftly. Gritting his teeth, he intercepted another hit.

"Shen Changqing!"

"You’re too despicable!" Lance managed to curse furiously during a breather.

"Despicable?" Shen Changqing’s gaze was steady, every move lethal. "If the rules allow it, how can it be called despicable?"

Lance stepped back, looking around; his original 27 teammates had dwindled in the blink of an eye to just 15. Whereas Shen Changqing had a fresh force of 100 vigorous and energetic troops.

What about his side?

After a chaotic fight, everyone was exhausted. How could they possibly stand against Shen Changqing?

As Lance retreated, he complained, "Why bully a small fry like me? If you’re brave, go fight that bastard Louise Carter!"

Surprisingly, Shen Changqing revealed a slight smile, saying, "Don’t worry, I won’t forget to send him a big gift."

In fact, after assessing the situation, Shen Changqing divided his troops into three groups: the most elite force of 350 men specifically to surround Louise and his 80 teammates. The second group, smaller but adept with 50 men, was to deal with Yue Qiyuan, Yue Qiguang, and Chu Jiaojiao. The third group, led by Shen Changqing himself with 100 men, was to encircle Lance.

Shen Changqing was waiting for the opportunity to completely settle Louise, Lance, and others.

When Louise and Lance’s forces were engaged in a melee, it was actually a very good opportunity, and Shen Changqing didn’t even need to split his forces to surround them directly.

However, it felt too smooth, which was always disconcerting.

After careful consideration, Shen Changqing felt it still necessary to wait for the right opportunity.

Therefore, when the helicopter dropped the rabbits, Shen Changqing felt this was the perfect opportunity and immediately took action.

If silent, then stunningly impactful.

Upon hearing this, Lance realized both he and Louise had been deceived into Shen Changqing’s divide-and-conquer scheme.

Despicable!

Truly too despicable.

Lance shouted loudly, "Everybody listen, scatter and run! Even if you can’t escape, drag down one if you can!"

With that, Lance stopped fighting and started running.

How could Shen Changqing let him go? A lethal move slashed toward Lance—just then, suddenly a rabbit darted in. The rabbit vanished in a blink of an eye, then Yue Qiguang shouted, "The rabbit! My rabbit!"

Everyone was stunned.

Lance seized the chance to escape, running far away in an instant. Shen Changqing, with an S-level spiritual power but only B-level physical strength, let Lance escape in that moment of hesitation. His gaze hardened: "Chase him!"

As for Yue Qiguang, who popped up halfway?

He would deal with him later.

Yue Qiguang, chasing a rabbit, had no idea he had blundered into someone else’s battlefield. Although he was hot-tempered and straightforward, he was not foolish; alone, how could he contend against dozens or hundreds of others?

Yue Qiguang ran, disappearing in an instant.
