At this moment, the entrance of the Black Abyss Cave was already packed with people. Not only were there students who were preparing for the second round, there were also quite a few academy students and instructors who had come to watch.
"Please enter the cave for the second round of the free-for-all. The match will begin in two incense sticks of time!" At this time, the Elder in charge of supervising the second round of the free-for-all shouted loudly.
"Let's go." Di Yuling nodded to Bai Yuhao beside her.
The two of them followed the other students who were participating in the second round of the free-for-all and entered the Black Abyss Cave.
There were only a few holes at the top of the cave that allowed for a weak light beam to penetrate through. From the depths of the cave, mournful howls of the wind could be heard from time to time, making it seem as if one could swallow a person into the abyss at any time.
After the students entered the cave from the second round, a ghost-like figure appeared in front of them.
"Now let me briefly explain the rules of the free-for-all. After the battle begins, all of you can immediately enter the cavern to begin the battle, and there will be no restrictions on any means in the battle, be it ambushing or assassinating, or using trap arrays, the only taboo is not to intentionally injure the opponent's life, and that's all. Of course, if you accidentally injured your opponent, it can be done to the extent allowed. In a duel, if one was not a match for the opponent, one could forfeit at any time. At that time, a specialist would appear and send the person who forfeited into the safe zone within the cavern, waiting for the battle to end. Do you understand? " The figure confirmed after finishing his sentence.
All the students that were participating in the second round nodded.
At this moment, the figure turned his head to look at the incense lit in the cave. Seeing that the incense had almost finished burning, he said to the students already in the cave, "We can begin. Wishing everyone luck!" With that, his figure also disappeared from the spot.
At this moment, the gathered students looked at each other, then suddenly dispersed. They all used their movement techniques and headed into the depths of the Black Abyss Cave.
Very quickly, the building was empty.
Bai Yuhao and Di Yuling were also the first to search for a favorable terrain within the Black Abyss Cave. Fighting in such a terrain, not only would it test one's strength, it would also test the students' individual abilities.
Due to the lack of light and the fact that the criss-crossing terrain was suitable for all kinds of ambushes and assassinations, a trap array had already been set up. Therefore, students who specialize in this area would have the advantage in such terrain. However, those with absolute strength would not be affected by the terrain factors.
Simply put, those with strong strength could take the initiative to attack, while those with weak strength could rely on their own mind and ability to make up for their weakness in terms of strength.
In addition, this free-for-all didn't specifically prohibit the formation of small groups or factions. Of course, it couldn't be too brazen. If it was just two or three people joining hands, that was also allowed.
So, in fact, before the second round of the competition, some of the academies who were on good terms with each other or were on the same side as them had already secretly joined forces to send people out to the outside world.
Of course, although teaming up against an enemy would give them a better advantage, there would only be 32 spots for the third round. Therefore, at the final moment, they could make enemies out of each other and kill each other for their own quota.
Not long after, Bai Yuhao and Di Yuling found a relatively hidden area, which was surrounded by a natural rock barrier. At the same time, because the stalactites above their heads continuously seeped water and formed puddles on the ground, they were able to detect the commotion at the first possible moment.
"What do you think?" Bai Yuhao squinted his eyes and asked.
"We'll just wait here. If there's anyone who's alone, we'll work together to deal with them. If they work together with us, we'll let them pass." Di Yuling had already made plans.
"Then I'll listen to you. I'll go take a rest." Bai Yuhao naturally didn't have any objections. He found a corner, sat down cross-legged, and meditated.
Di Yuling glanced at Bai Yuhao, but she wasn't as relaxed as Bai Yuhao. Instead, she was vigilantly observing her surroundings.
Not long after, a student with low Spirit Infant Stage carefully appeared as well.
"Shh!" Di Yuling immediately signaled to Bai Yuhao.
Bai Yuhao opened his eyes and looked through the gaps, only to see that although the low leveled Spirit Infant Stage student Xu seemed to be moving alone, but if one looked carefully, they would see that the student's hand was always behind his back, as if he was ready to be a secret signal at any time.
"Let's go." Di Yuling obviously didn't notice it. She dashed forward with a flick of her body.
In the blink of an eye, Di Yuling appeared in front of the student with low Spirit Infant Stage.
However, not only was the student with low Spirit Infant Stage not afraid, he even revealed a deceptive smile.
Upon seeing this, Di Yuling seemed to realize that something was wrong.
Very quickly, another two figures appeared at the same time, and one of them was even at the middle stage of the Spirit Infant Stage.
"Decoy?" Di Yuling's eyes narrowed.
"Boss, this is a great beauty!" The low-level Spirit Infant Stage student who had acted as bait earlier immediately had an evil grin on his face, as though he was drooling in desire.
"A beauty is indeed a beauty, but it's just a little stupid, and actually fell for it so easily. However, the strength of the middle level Spirit Infant Stage is not weak at all." Gray-Robed Man, who was in the middle stage of the Spirit Infant Stage, gave Di Yuling a glance and immediately detected the middle stage Spirit Infant Stage aura that Di Yuling had concealed.
At this time, Di Yuling, who noticed that Bai Yuhao did not follow them, also had a clever expression and immediately sneered, "With just the three of you, I alone will be enough to deal with you."
"Stop trying to be brave. I think you should give up obediently!" Your strength and mine should be on par with each other. If the three of us join forces, you won't be able to gain anything from it. " Gray-Robed Man said confidently.
"Cut the crap, let's fight!" Di Yuling's Spiritual Energy soared and a pair of silver daggers immediately appeared in her hands. In an instant, her delicate body nimbly transformed into a pair of elegant white feathers and charged into the three people together. Her momentum was not weak at all.
Bai Yuhao, who was still hiding in the dark, calmly observed the situation and didn't seem to want to help.
Even though she was fighting against three, Di Yuling was not weaker. Furthermore, she did not go head to head with Gray-Robed Man, who was in the middle level Spirit Infant Stage. Instead, she went against two lower level Spirit Infant Stage experts, seemingly intending to get rid of two weak ones.
After a stalemate, the fighting strength of the two students with low Spirit Infant Stage were obviously weakened. But at the same time, under Gray-Robed Man's pestering, Di Yuling also seemed to be powerless, and after a short while, Di Yuling was suddenly forced into a difficult situation.
Almost at the same time, a figure appeared from the darkness, and silently appeared behind one of the students with low Spirit Infant Stage.
With a blood-curdling scream, the low-level Spirit Infant Stage student's chest was instantly dyed with blood. Although the wound wasn't deep, in reality, a wave of Spiritual Energy was crazily rampaging through his body.
"You dare injure my brother …" Seeing this, the other student with low Spirit Infant Stage also became angry and immediately charged forward.
"Traceless Sword!"
When the sword images disappeared, they were instantly shocked to realize that it was already at the chest of another student with low Spirit Infant Stage.
Boom! *
Another student with a low Spirit Infant Stage was directly sent flying.
In the blink of an eye, two students with low Spirit Infant Stage were dealt with.
