Chapter 1636: Chapter 523: Arrival at Balance City_3

His astonishment kept intensifying, because the entire second team’s members stopped moving.

Even the anger on Jiang Ming’s face was frozen.

It wasn’t just the second team members; even the surrounding trees no longer swayed with the wind, and those insects flying in the sky, unwilling to come close, were all frozen at this moment.

This freeze was too obvious, so many spectators speculated that someone had activated the time stop ability.

There was no other way. Liu Jianxin’s ability almost left no other answer, with the first guess being time stop.

On the surface, it appeared to be a divine level skill, but in reality, it was a very tricky ability.

Because the environment would be still, Liu Jianxin could not secretly release it.

Fortunately, this ability, which could be easily guessed, almost had no cooldown time. Lasting seven seconds, with a twelve-second cooldown, the cooldown started right when the skill was activated.

After activating the skill three times, it would take dozens of seconds.

Spectators just needed to use the method of elimination, guessing one by one, and could find Liu Jianxin among the fourteen people.

With hundreds of thousands of people guessing, the probability was enough for Liu Jianxin to die hundreds of times.

But not long ago, Wen Xishu had already caused continuous frustration among the spectators, and now they were eager to achieve "results."

Especially now, as the end was near. They were eager to eliminate these people, so their minds would firmly believe in their first judgment.

The most crucial thing...

The scenario provided by Wen Xishu perfectly matched their judgment logic.

The time stop ability would freeze all living and non-living things around.

But the one who activated the ability would not be frozen.

At this moment, there were only four people in the whole scene who could move.

The fat Wu Xiaorong. The hoarse-voiced Deng Feng, and the young man with weak presence, Chen Youwei.

And Lei Gang.

Yes, no one else.

Including Wen Xishu, Liu Jianxin, even Gu Yu, all three remained still.

So in the eyes of the spectators, only Wu Xiaorong, Deng Feng, Chen Youwei, and Lei Gang were the ones who could move.

Wen Xishu, Liu Jianxin, Gu Yu were all members of the first team, and as the one who activated the ability, Liu Jianxin could naturally move.

But he didn’t move. Moreover, he even used his Inner Strength of Sword Control to forcibly imprison his clothes and those of Wen Xishu and Gu Yu.

At this moment, in the spectators’ view, they were as immobile as the seven members of the second team, all stopped by the time stop ability,

Five seconds passed.

In these five seconds, Lei Gang, Wu Xiaorong, Deng Feng, and Chen Youwei were guessed by hundreds of thousands of people for the time stop ability.

When the spectators guessed one and found it wrong, there were two branches of choices: The first was to immediately switch people and choose from the remaining ones who could still move.

This was undoubtedly the correct approach. After all, at this point, who would guess someone who couldn’t move? It wouldn’t fit the logic of the ability activation.

The second branch was not to change people, but to pick another similar ability to continue guessing the person.

This person was most likely Lei Gang.

Because everyone’s attention was focused on Lei Gang. So the spectators spent quite some time here.

Seven seconds passed. The first round of time stop ended. Liu Jianxin’s second round of time stop was about to activate.

Everything around regained the ability to move.

At this moment, the spectators seemed to notice something was amiss, looking at the bewildered faces of Chen Youwei, Wu Xiaorong, and Deng Feng Lei Gang...

They felt it didn’t seem like an act.

Lei Gang didn’t guess the time stop ability immediately, and even he thought that Liu Jianxin, who was frozen, was not the one with the ability.

His mind short-circuited a bit, because too many sudden occurrences made him unsure of the situation.

But he didn’t have time to think about it, or rather, there wasn’t enough time for him to think more.

Suddenly he twitched a few times and then fell to the ground, not rising again.

In the short few seconds of the time-stop cooldown period, the spectators received explosive news that contestant number 6, Lei Gang, was eliminated.

This caused an uproar, and all the spectators gasped loudly. Attention shifted.

The time stop activated again.

Although the picture in the spectators’ eyes was still, their consciousness was shocked. After all, many spectators were still relentlessly focusing on Lei Gang.

They were wondering what Lei Gang’s ability was.

To the extent that Lei Gang seemed most likely the one who activated the time stop.

But suddenly, Lei Gang fell down, unable to rise. It felt like "the suspect in my eyes was killed by the real culprit."

Simply because the time stop ended, before Liu Jianxin activated the second round, during the skill cooldown gap—

Jiang Ming directly shouted at the fastest speed the sentence that caused Lei Gang to be ousted:

This sentence was—I suspect his ability is the earth spike.

Thus, Lei Gang was eliminated in an instant.

Now Wen Xishu understood that... the consequence of being eliminated was death.

He felt no psychological burden.

Lei Gang’s eyes, filled with fear mixed with anger before dying, widened, not looking at Jiang Ming but at Wen Xishu.

Apparently, he never expected that Wen Xishu, this altruistic person with a bleeding heart, would scheme against him.

In the last moment of his life, Lei Gang finally understood what it meant to have the choice in his own hands.

He paid the price for his greed.

And at this time, Liu Jianxin activated the second round of the time stop.

In the second round of the time stop, Jiang Ming remained frozen.

Wen Xishu and Liu Jianxin also acted very realistically. But the spectators only had three people left to guess.

Deng Feng, Wu Xiaorong, and Chen Youwei didn’t know what was going on.
