The genius who counterattacked the mainland

Inside the hall, light crisscrossed, and beams of energy roared like a raging dragon, sweeping toward the crowd. Xu Tiancai's figure flashed, and the power of the stars formed a pale blue light curtain around him, trying to resist the surging attack. However, every time the beams hit the light curtain, his body trembled slightly, and the star power was rapidly depleted like a tide.

Ah Gang swung his battle axe, his eternal fighting spirit transforming into golden arcs that collided with the beams, sending up dazzling sparks. "These damn things, there's no end to them!" he roared, veins bulging on his face, clearly exhausting all his strength. But despite his fierce resistance, some of the beams still managed to break through his defenses, leaving bloody streaks on his arms, and the wounds instantly sent waves of excruciating pain through him.

Lin manipulated the element of wind, forming a massive vortex of wind above everyone's heads. Like a powerful vacuum cleaner, the vortex sucked in some of the energy beam, attempting to crush it. However, the energy contained in the beam was too overwhelming. After a moment, the vortex began to crack, creaking and squeaking, as if it would collapse completely in an instant. "I can't hold on any longer! This energy is too overwhelming!" Lin cried anxiously, her forehead covered with beads of sweat.

The Ice Princess tapped the ground with her wand, and a massive wall of ice rose from the ground. The ice wall, shimmering and translucent, emanated a biting cold. It attempted to block the rain of beams, but wherever the beams reached, the ice wall quickly melted, transforming into puddles of icy water that flowed across the ground. The Ice Princess bit her lip, continuously injecting magic power to maintain the ice wall. Her lips gradually paled, and her body trembled slightly.

Su Yao sat in a corner, a guqin resting across her knees, her fingers dancing swiftly across the strings. The guqin's sound transformed into invisible sonic shields, enveloping everyone. The shields rubbed against the energy beams, producing a sharp hissing sound, as if two powerful forces were engaged in a fierce quarrel. But as time passed, the power of the guqin's sound gradually weakened, and the sonic shields grew thinner and thinner.

While fending off the attacks, Xu Tiancai used his stellar power to sense the energy sources of the surrounding treasures and artifacts. He discovered that these energy sources seemed to resonate with the elemental forces within the hall, forming a complex energy circulation system. "Everyone, pay attention! The energy sources of these treasures are related to elemental forces. We need to find the key elemental nodes to destroy them!" Xu Tiancai shouted, his voice clearly echoing throughout the chaotic hall.

As everyone struggled to hold on, a strange transformation suddenly occurred within the hall. The raging energy beams gradually converged, forming several massive energy clusters. These clusters began to twist and deform, gradually transforming into elemental spirits of various forms.

One of the fire spirits was ablaze with flames, its body like a miniature sun, its scorching heat distorting the surrounding air. The fire spirit danced and swirled through the air, scorching the ground wherever it passed, emitting acrid smoke. "How dare you, puny human, trespass here? Accept the judgment of fire!" The fire spirit roared sharply, then unleashed a massive column of fire towards the crowd.

Another water elemental sprite was composed of flowing blue liquid. Its body was soft and flexible, like an invisible water snake. It swam swiftly across the ground, leaving a wet trail in its wake. It opened its mouth and unleashed a powerful stream of water, like a high-pressure water gun, towards the crowd. The force of the water was so strong that it seemed to crush anyone.

There was also an earth elemental spirit, enormous, like a giant made of rock. Every step the earth elemental took shook the ground. It swung its massive stone arms and smashed down upon the crowd, the wind whipping up from them whirring like a miniature tornado.

Faced with these sudden appearances of elemental spirits, everyone's pressure suddenly increased. Xu Tiancai looked at them, quickly thinking of a countermeasure. He knew that these elemental spirits were formed by the power of the elements. To defeat them, he had to exploit the principle of mutual generation and mutual restraint between the elements.

"Lin, use the wind element to attack the fire elf and weaken its power. Agang, attract the attention of the earth element elf, and I will find a way to deal with the water element elf. Ice Princess and Su Yao, you support in the rear and be careful to protect yourselves!" Xu Tiancai gave the order quickly, and everyone took action immediately after hearing it.

Lin manipulated the wind element, forming sharp wind blades that swept towards the flame spirit. The wind blades and flames collided with each other, making a crackling sound. The flame spirit's fire was shattered by the wind blades, and the flame's temperature also dropped slightly. But the flame spirit was not to be outdone, and it increased its flame output, trying to burn all the wind blades.

Agang, brandishing his battle axe, charged at the Earth Elemental. Leaping high, he slashed fiercely at the Earth Elemental's arm with his axe, brimming with eternal fighting spirit. With a resounding clang and sparks flying, Agang carved a shallow crack into the Earth Elemental's arm. The Earth Elemental roared in anger, swiping its other arm toward Agang. Agang nimbly dodged and continued to engage it.

Xu Tiancai combined the power of the stars with the power of the water element. In his hand, a water sword condensed from the water element appeared. Xu Tiancai swung the water sword, stabbing at the water elemental spirit. The water sword merged with the water elemental spirit's body, Xu Tiancai attempting to disrupt the water elemental spirit's energy structure from within. The water elemental spirit sensed the threat and began to twist violently, trying to throw Xu Tiancai away.

The Ice Princess swung her ice wand, and her icy magic transformed into ice cones, shooting towards the flame spirit. The moment the ice cones made contact with the flame spirit, a hissing sound was emitted, further suppressing the flame spirit's fire. Su Yao played a soothing piano tune, which transformed into healing forces that flew towards the injured Agang. Agang's wounds healed rapidly under the healing power of the piano music, and his strength was also restored to a certain extent.

With everyone's concerted efforts, the elemental elves' attacks were gradually contained. However, these elemental elves were also constantly adapting to the attack methods of the crowd, and they began to change their tactics and cooperate with each other.

The Fire Spirit and the Water Spirit joined forces. The Fire Spirit heated the surrounding air, creating a high-temperature environment. The Water Spirit, in turn, transformed the water into steam within this high-temperature environment. This steam was then compressed into a high-pressure steam bomb, which was fired towards the crowd. The high-pressure steam bomb was extremely powerful, and if it exploded, it would cause serious damage to the crowd.

The earth elemental spirit seized the opportunity to launch an even more violent attack on Agang. Sharp stone spikes sprouted from its body, gleaming coldly in the sunlight. The earth elemental spirit swung its stone-spike arms at Agang, who was unable to dodge and was scratched by the stone spikes. Blood instantly stained his clothes red.

Faced with the elemental elves' new tactics, everyone was in trouble. Xu Tiancai knew that he had to find the elemental elves' weaknesses as soon as possible, otherwise they would find it difficult to withstand this powerful attack.

During the fierce battle, Xu Tiancai discovered that whenever the elemental spirits launched a joint attack, the energy connection between them would momentarily fluctuate. With a sudden thought, he shouted, "Everyone, pay attention! The energy connection between the elemental spirits fluctuates momentarily during a joint attack. That could be their weakness!"

Everyone's spirits lifted upon hearing this. They began adjusting their tactics, waiting for the elemental spirits to launch another joint attack. As the fire and water elemental spirits prepared to launch high-pressure steam bombs and the earth elemental spirit rushed towards Agang, everyone seized the opportunity.

Lin manipulated the wind element, forming a powerful wind barrier between the flame and water spirits, severing the energy connection between them. The flame and water spirits' attacks instantly lost coordination, and the high-pressure steam bomb exploded in mid-air, causing no harm to anyone.

Xu Tiancai took advantage of the moment the Earth Elemental Spirit attacked Agang and unleashed his ultimate move, drawing on the power of the stars. "Starry Devil Slash!" he shouted, and the Star Sword shone brightly, sending a powerful sword energy slashing towards the Earth Elemental Spirit. The Earth Elemental Spirit was unable to dodge and was struck by the sword energy, leaving a huge crack on its body.

Agang seized the opportunity and swung his battle axe, slashing at the crack in the earth elemental. "Eternal Break!" Agang roared, and with all his might, the battle axe struck the crack in the earth elemental. The earth elemental roared in pain, and its body began to crumble, turning into a pile of rubble that scattered on the ground.

The Ice Princess and Su Yao also concentrated their strength and launched an attack on the Fire Spirit and the Water Elemental Spirit. The Ice Princess compressed her ice magic to the extreme, forming a huge ice ball, and shot it at the Fire Spirit. Su Yao played the piano at her strongest, and the music turned into an invisible energy wave, merging with the ice ball and attacking the Water Elemental Spirit.

Under the joint attack of everyone, the fire elves and water elemental elves were also completely destroyed.

Everyone collapsed on the ground exhausted, breathing heavily. The battle just now had almost exhausted all their strength, but there was a hint of relief in their eyes.

"Finally, we got rid of these elemental elves." Agang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said breathlessly.

Lin nodded slightly, "Yes, but there are definitely other dangers in this ruins. We can't take it lightly."

Xu Tiancai looked at the stone platform and the dark blue crystal ball in the center of the hall and said slowly, "Let's rest for a while and recover some strength before continuing on."

During his rest, Xu Tiancai began to study the crystals of elemental power left behind by the elemental spirits after their disappearance. These crystals contained pure elemental power, and Xu Tiancai tried to absorb the power from them, and found that the fusion of his star power and elemental power had been further enhanced.

"Everyone try to absorb the power of these crystals. Maybe it will be helpful for our next actions." Xu Tiancai said to everyone.

As a result, everyone began to absorb the crystals of elemental power. During the absorption process, their respective strengths were enhanced to varying degrees, and their physical injuries also recovered to a certain extent.

After a short rest, everyone stood up again and walked towards the stone platform in the center of the hall. They approached the platform cautiously, fearing to trigger new mechanisms or traps. When they reached the platform, Xu Tiancai reached out and slowly touched the dark blue crystal ball.

The moment he touched the crystal ball, a powerful message flooded into his mind. This message revealed the ultimate secret of this alien space and the method of leaving, but it also brought a shocking news...
