Liu Yang pulled out a pile of Star Beads from Li Howard's pocket.

Everyone: "......"

At the same time, the referee's voice came through the invisible earpieces of the four members of Liu Yang's team.

Liu Yang's smile stiffened, and he obediently put the Star Beads back.

Everyone: "......"

Unexpectedly, Liu Yang then pulled out a dagger, pinched it with two fingers, and tapped the heads of the four-member team one by one with the cool blade. He pressed down on the invisible earpiece with one hand and said, "I'm saying, this team can't be counted as just one rescue, this has to count as losing combat ability. They should be considered directly eliminated from the competition. My dagger strikes swiftly, you all saw it, right?"

The four members were either knocked unconscious by Han Jiangxue or had numb limbs and were unable to move at all, leaving them at the mercy of Liu Yang's mockery.

No one knew what the referee said in Liu Yang's team's earpiece, but they saw Liu Yang grinning mischievously.

At the same time, the beautiful, shawl-haired Miss Cai Yao walked over, stretched out her right hand towards Jiang Xiao, and showed a playful smile on her face, "It seems you know their secret too."

Xia Yan looked blank and nudged Li Weiyi beside her with her elbow. "What do we know?"

Li Weiyi: "......"

Han Jiangxue frowned slightly, seeming to hear other meanings in the girl's words.

Cai Yao tilted her head towards the broken wall over there, her right hand still extended in front of Jiang Xiao, and said, "We all need companions, the kind who can support each other and break into the rematch. It's very difficult for your team alone to snatch food from the tiger's mouth."

Jiang Xiao's heart stirred. If he had only guessed before, then Cai Yao's words completely confirmed his inner thoughts.

What did "snatching food from the tiger's mouth" mean?

Did he even need to ask?

Either it was the Star Beads of the Guwu Military Group, because these Star Beads could be turned into points. But with the fighting power of the Guwu Military Group, could they be called "food"? Don't be ridiculous.

Then the only remaining possibility was that somewhere behind this broken wall, there was a special weapon worth 200 points in this layer.

Jinmen area was under the feet of the emperor, it seemed that they, like some teams in the capital, also had some special information?

Jiang Xiao had an idea. Bluff!

"Just one weapon, how do we divide it between two teams?" Jiang Xiao raised an eyebrow and asked.

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Cai Yao's mouth, as if unwilling to let people see such a beautiful scene. She covered her mouth with one hand and said softly, "Isn't there a next level?"

Jiang Xiao was certain.

Indeed!

There was a special weapon worth 200 points here!

Moreover, the people from the Capital Alliance clearly knew this information in advance.

Judging from what Cai Yao meant, did she also know the location of the weapon on the next level?

You damned behind-the-scenes players, today I, Edogawa Coxiao, will give you a good lesson!

Jiang Xiao turned to look at Han Jiangxue and said, "I'm not the captain."

The team members were a little caught off guard by this sudden alliance.

But the only thing Jiang Xiao could confirm was that this team had done very detailed homework on their team, and might even have a special understanding of each person's personality characteristics.

Otherwise, in such a realistic and cruel competition, they would not easily form an alliance with a team.

Jiang Xiao wanted to form an alliance with this team, on the one hand because of the information they had, and on the other hand, because of their strength.

Liu Yang's 29 Star Slots were real, and the information clearly stated that this guy was a Fallen Shadow Assassin in human skin, and his combat power and Star Technique intensity were beyond doubt.

And his companion, Cai Yao, was also one of the few people in this year's competition who possessed the Voice of Silence.

Even among the high school students in the Jinmen area and other representative teams in Yanzhao Province, only a very few had absorbed this Star Technique.

There was no doubt that Cai Yao had a wealthy family and was very powerful, and her personal qualifications were also first-class. With such two top teammates, how could the strength of the remaining two students be poor?

Jiang Xiao was just now figuring out that although this preliminary competition was fought by teams for their own honor, if you really wanted to enter the rematch, you had to form gangs and seek benefits for the small team within the larger group.

This competition also tested one's brain.

Han Jiangxue understood Jiang Xiao's eyes, but her aloof personality made her say such a sentence, "Can you keep up with our rhythm?"

"Yo, sister, look what you're saying." Liu Yang immediately stood up and smoothed his buzz cut, "If our team claims second in Jinmen, no one dares to claim first. Not to mention anything else, just take our Yao Yao. Among this year's auxiliary students, she is definitely one of the best."

Liu Yang rolled his eyes and suddenly smiled, "But then again, my eyes have been wandering around these students in the capital, Jinmen, and Yanzhao, seeing who can use money to smash out another Voice of Silence. I really didn't expect it, but such a person actually emerged from Beijiang."

Jiang Xiao: ???

Liu Yang smiled and said, "Don't misunderstand, this is admiration, this is surprise, this is..."

Han Jiangxue directly interrupted Liu Yang's chatter, "No matter where you get the weapons, we take the first one, you take the second one, we take the third one, and so on."

Hearing this, Jiang Xiao finally reached out and grasped Cai Yao's little hand that had been stiffly in front of him, "It's a deal."

Cai Yao: "......"

What the heck is "it's a deal" from you two siblings?

Seeing that the two teams had finally reached an agreement, the other two boys from Nankai High School in Jinmen finally spoke.

The two boys were sturdy, both empty-handed, and both around 1.7 meters tall. The slightly taller boy said, "He Fan, Shield Warrior."

The slightly shorter boy said, "Zhang Qinzhou, Shield Warrior."

Dual Shield Warriors!

What kind of combination was this from Nankai High School in Jinmen!?

Two shields, one support, and one DPS.

Moreover, the DPS was a physical DPS – Liu Yang.

If Liu Yang were replaced with a magic DPS, the team's configuration would at least be passable... but looking at it now, the team's profession configuration was simply deformed.

From another perspective, how high was Liu Yang's DPS!?

To make the school come up with this risky, three-protect-one lineup?

How strong was this kid?

This was the Jinmen representative team under the imperial city, and the competition for its member slots was extremely fierce, but this kid actually managed to get a three-protect-one lineup.

Don't look at Liu Yang's smiling, glib appearance, this kid was truly gifted, with as many as 29 Star Slots, and a body full of strange Star Techniques, most of which were related to "shadows."

If it weren't for the fact that Yuan Qinghua from Nanyue was suddenly filmed advancing to the Star River Realm, then this Jinmen thug Liu Yang would definitely be qualified to compete for this year's chief assassin.

Cai Yao struggled gently, but her little hand held by Jiang Xiao still didn't pull away. Instead, she heard Jiang Xiao whispering in her ear, "Have you been kidnapped?"

Cai Yao was stunned for a moment and pulled her little hand out of Jiang Xiao's hand with force. "No, what are you talking about?"

Jiang Xiao's expression was slightly strange. "Then why do you keep winking at me?"

Cai Yao supported her forehead with one hand, looking incredulous. She stared at Jiang Xiao with wide eyes and asked, "Do I even need to ask? Are you the legendary straight man of steel?"

Jiang Xiao smiled embarrassedly, scratched his head, and looked very shy.

Suddenly, he winked his left eye at Cai Yao, a scene so abrupt that Cai Yao almost thought she was seeing things.

But she heard Jiang Xiao whispering, "Do you know that when you wink at me, I've already thought about where to bury your boyfriend?"

She was flirted with!

This old lady has been wandering the martial world for decades, and she was actually teased by this little toxic healer from Beijiang!?

Wow, it's so uncomfortable!

She tried to flirt but was ambushed instead!

Cai Yao's face turned slightly red. Before she could say anything, she heard Li Weiyi say, "Someone's coming."

The next moment,

Li Weiyi, He Fan, and Zhang Qinzhou, the three Shield Warriors, stepped out at the same time and stood in the front row.

Xia Yan turned her head and glanced at Liu Yang with disdain. Both of them were Agility Warriors, and they habitually stood in the second row of the team before the battle began.

"Sister, don't look at me~ Look ahead." Liu Yang said, and a faint shadow suddenly rushed out of his body, quickly merging into this dark ancient imperial mausoleum.

"You two, go to the back." Han Jiangxue stood in the center of the team, directly seizing command of the two teams.

Cai Yao was originally the team's commander, but her heart was a little flustered after being ambushed by Jiang Xiao. She subconsciously obeyed Han Jiangxue's order. Just as she turned around, she felt that something was wrong, but she was pulled and dragged to the back by Jiang Xiao...

The alliance of the two teams was seen by the audience, and their reactions were mixed.

But for the audience in the Beijiang representative team's base camp – Su Rou's livestream room – this was undoubtedly a great joy!

"It's done! Holy crap! Awesome! Among the 200 teams in this year's competition, there are a total of 202 support personnel. Cai Yao's comprehensive strength can rank in the top three in this year's support personnel strength rankings!"

"This is really hugging a big thigh! Holy crap, that Liu Yang is a real strong man! Among the nearly four hundred DPS, he is ranked in the top ten!"

"Why did such a strong team form an alliance with us?"

"Because we're even more awesome~ Do you think our Snow Goddess is just a pretty face?"

"Wow, that's a nice thing to say!"

"+1!"

"+2!"

"+..."

"Did your little mouth get honeyed?"

...

"A weak question, where does our Little Leather rank among the support personnel?"

"Don't ask, asking means you can't say."

"Don't ask, asking means you're too embarrassed to say!"

"Why are you bringing up things that hurt our morale? Don't ask questions that diminish our prestige!"

"You fake fan, get out!"

"F*** you! Can our Leather God be ranked among the support personnel? You have to put him in the DPS rankings, and then you'll find out that it's better to throw him in the support personnel..."
