Chapter 107: Chapter 85: Dragon Transformation Sword Intent, the First Person in the History of Luocheng

Therefore, when other Foundation Establishment Evil Objects suffered setbacks, the rest wouldn’t care—and might even gloat—as long as it didn’t endanger the entire Black Rock Tribe.

But things were different for Lu Chen and his group this time. In just three short days, Lu Chen, Mu Xiaoye, and Shen Feiyang had slaughtered a total of four Foundation Establishment Evil Objects.

To the remaining Foundation Establishment Evil Objects, this was undoubtedly a very dangerous signal. It made them suspect that the Immortal Alliance had secretly sent experts into the ruins of Jade Mountain City without their knowledge. Faced with this life-and-death crisis, the petty squabbles among the Evil Objects suddenly seemed insignificant.

As a result, the six surviving Foundation Establishment Evil Objects made the rare choice to act collectively in the ensuing days. First, they dispatched all their subordinates to conduct a carpet search. Then, the moment they discovered the presence of one or more candidates, they would immediately command all surrounding Evil Objects to swarm the location in a shameless siege.

Faced with such human-wave tactics, the candidates—who were only at the Qi Cultivation Stage—naturally found it difficult to cope. Consequently, a large number of students were quickly eliminated.

However, every cloud has a silver lining. When the Foundation Establishment Evil Objects focused their attention on the main urban area, it was undoubtedly good news for the candidates who chose to flee Jade Mountain City, hoping to prolong their survival time to secure better exam scores.

Among the forty-odd students still alive in the examination venue, over twenty had survived because of this. The person who organized this escaping faction was the top student of Third High School’s cohort, Liu Daozhao.

As for the other twenty-one students remaining in the main urban area, twelve were scattered across various districts, carefully evading the patrolling Evil Objects. The remaining nine had gathered together. Lu Chen, Mu Xiaoye, and Shen Feiyang were among these nine.

Inside a presidential suite of a hotel in the West City District.

"You dead-fish-eyes from Third High School, were you... not listening to us? Lu’s words just now were perfectly clear.

"If you want to get a high score in this Alien Race invasion exam, the best method is definitely to kill as many of the Alien Race as possible, or to sabotage their original plans.

"And these two things can absolutely be done at the same time. Why are you objecting?"

Suppressing her inner anger, Mu Xiaoye glared darkly at Shen Feiyang, who was sitting on the sofa. If Lu Chen hadn’t been right next to her, forcing her to maintain her image as the sweet girl next door in his eyes, she would have long used her Iron Fist to teach this arrogant brat a good lesson.

She fumed inwardly, "How dare you disagree with the plan Lu proposed? Who do you think you are?"

Between reasoning and blindly supporting Lu Chen, Mu Xiaoye had always been firmly in the pro-Lu Chen faction.

Facing the domineering Mu Xiaoye, Shen Feiyang—having witnessed a fraction of her power earlier—understood his position perfectly. Unless he completely exposed his trump cards, he had absolutely zero chance of winning against a monster like her.

Thinking of this, Shen Feiyang let out a helpless sigh. He then turned to look at Lu Chen, who was sitting by the floor-to-ceiling window. "Lu Tongxue, I still think it would be better for us to act according to my plan.

"There are six Foundation Establishment Evil Objects, one of which is a special Foundation Establishment entity possessing the Royal Family bloodline. Even if the three of us join forces, we absolutely cannot be their match.

"Rather than storming their stronghold in what is essentially a suicide mission, it’s better to lure them out as much as possible and defeat them one by one.

"After all, you’ve seen it yourselves. Because of our previous actions, these Evil Objects are already on their guard. Without absolute certainty, they definitely won’t come out casually. And when they do come out, they will move in groups of at least two Foundation Establishment entities.

"If we follow your plan, Mu Tongxue and I will intentionally cause a commotion and feign weakness to the point where the Foundation Establishment Evil Objects feel they can easily devour us, thereby luring four of them out.

"Setting aside whether Mu Tongxue and I can survive the nearly endless army of Evil Objects until the moment those four Foundation Establishment Evil Objects leave their nest... do you really have complete confidence that you alone can defeat the Royal Family Evil Object left guarding their stronghold?"

Looking at the serious expression on Shen Feiyang’s face, Lu Chen remained silent for a moment before answering, "...Fifty percent."

Hearing this, Shen Feiyang spread his hands helplessly. "You said it yourself, it’s only fifty percent. While that success rate isn’t low, it isn’t high, either.

"But if we adopt my plan, we can slaughter at least one or two Foundation Establishment Evil Objects before being eliminated.

"One option gives a fifty percent chance of returning empty-handed, and a fifty percent chance of returning fully loaded. The other option offers an average yield, but guarantees a one hundred percent chance of gaining something.

"Any smart person should know how to choose, right? After all, you and Mu Tongxue can’t possibly be unaware of the principle that a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

"I still stand by what I said. I do not agree with your risky plan, because it’s completely unnecessary.

"Since we are already guaranteed a high score, there’s absolutely no need to risk everything for a higher one. As things stand, it’s impossible for anyone’s score to surpass the three of us.

"The risk-to-reward ratio of your plan... is simply too poor. Besides, the mock exam scores aren’t counted toward the college entrance exam anyway, so why are you pushing so hard? Wouldn’t it be better for us to wait peacefully until the exam ends?"

Faced with Shen Feiyang’s questioning, Lu Chen didn’t know how to refute him for a moment.
