Godslayer: At the start, the power of the Five Elements transforms into Iron Fist Tiger.

Just as Tianping and Cao Yuan were pulling and tugging at each other, the air suddenly fell silent.

At the last second, Cao Yuan stared wide-eyed at his right hand, which was gripping the balance dagger.

"Brother, you should still put up a fight..." Tianping, who was still immersed in his emotions, was unable to extricate himself and did not realize the seriousness of the matter.

Tianping was puzzled when he saw that Cao Yuan had not returned the dagger to him for a long time.

Then, in the next second, black baleful energy ignited on Cao Yuan's body, covering his entire body with a tangible baleful energy, and Cao Yuan had transformed into a humanoid creature with a monstrous appearance.

"Hehehe!!!" Cao Yuan's mouth was already stretched to his ears, making him look incredibly terrifying.

Scorching flames of malevolent energy erupted from Cao Yuan's skin, instantly burning away his clothes, leaving only a black, humanoid-looking garment of malevolent energy enveloping him.

Tianping had already sensed something was wrong and moved away from Cao Yuan the moment the murderous aura emanated from him.

In an instant, everyone in the training camp, from new recruits to instructors, turned their gaze toward the battlefield where Cao Yuan and Tianping were fighting.

"Hiss~ This is Sequence 031, [Black King Annihilation]!? It's truly terrifying!"

Inside the basement, the instructors stopped watching the battle between Wang Mian and Ling Yue and turned to look at Cao Yuan. They could feel the palpable killing intent emanating from him even outside the screen, let alone those present.

"Monster... Monster!!"

"Someone's gone mad! Someone's gone mad!" Many timid recruits glanced at it and then closed their eyes, afraid that if they looked again, it would explode.

"Your team seems to be in a bit of trouble." Iron Fist Tiger smirked. Although he didn't know why Cao Yuan had used the Forbidden Ruins this time, he was certain there would be some fun in it!

Wang Mian's lips twitched slightly, but he remained calm: "I believe in them. Now, let's continue our fight!"

Ignoring Ling Yue's desire to watch the show, he continued to slash out several sword energies.

Ling Yue, who had been ambushed, was a little annoyed. He felt that since Wang Mian was so upright and honest, but Wang Mian lacked martial ethics, then he didn't need to give way to Wang Mian.

"Ha, since you have no sense of martial ethics, then don't blame me!!"

Ling Yue then became serious, his entire body enveloped in earth-elemental brown, and in the blink of an eye, he transformed into a stone-armored bear.

ohGGB, be a hero in a fairy tale —

While Wang Mian was fully focused on the battle, it seemed as if a bug was playing from all around him. He tried to see who was playing the music, but he looked around and found nothing. It was as if the background music had appeared out of thin air, or as if it were in his own mind.

"Take this punch!" The Stone Armored Bear slammed its fist into the ground, drawing earth elements from it. The rocky ground it struck resembled parched land, devoid of life and riddled with cracks.

The Stone Armored Bear's fist was far stronger and larger than before, even larger than its body, but it was much slower.

Upon seeing this, Wang Mian held nothing back and unleashed 99 consecutive slashes at the stone-armored bear at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.

"Earth Spirit Power!" The Stone Armor Bear continued without dodging or avoiding, using the Earth Spirit Power from its feet. A gradually elongating spike was stepped on and charged towards the king's face, its speed far exceeding its previous steps.

The rock fist clashed with the blade aura, and for a moment large chunks of rock were cut down to the ground by the blade aura emitted by the king's face, but in the end, it did not wear down the rock fist in the stone-armored bear's hand.

Five meters! The two were now five meters apart! But Wang Mian continued to swing his sword, while the Stone Armored Bear, unfazed by the sword's aura, charged towards Wang Mian, stepping on the rock spikes.

Three meters! The King Face was only three meters away from the Stone Armor Bear's Rock Fist, but the King Face continued to swing his sword rapidly.

One meter! Finally, Wang Mian used the Divine Ruins. His speed increased dramatically while the Stone Armor Bear slowed down. The air in front of the Stone Armor Bear whistled, but it could not see Wang Mian's figure.

At this moment, Wang Mian used all his strength. His figure moved so fast that even his afterimage was hard to see. The only proof that he was still there was the blade energy he emitted and the whistling wind.

"Roar!!" The stone-armored bear let out the roar of the early Xiong Da and Xiong Er, but the loudness of the sound was far beyond what Xiong Da and Xiong Er could match.

His chest was slightly bulging, and one could vaguely see that his strong body already had pectoral muscles.

"Bang—" A sound like a meteorite hitting the ground rang out. Ling Yue and Wang Mian's attacks collided, but they were covered by dust and mist, making the onlookers curious about who would win.

"Chief Yuan, do you think Wang Mian can win this battle?" At the same time, a heated discussion broke out underground.

"Yes!" Yuan Gang's tone was extremely certain, but his heart was not as calm as it appeared. "Damn it, Ling Yue, you little brat, you didn't mess things up, did you?!"

'If you really win, then his training camp will lose all credibility...' Yuan Gang didn't have much time left to struggle with this decision.

"But I feel that even the most mysterious beings in the Chuan region couldn't withstand Ling Yue's attack."

Yuan Gang looked up and glared at the instructor.

In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Finally, the dust and mist surrounding Ling Yue and Wang Mian dissipated, and apart from the already crazed Cao Yuan and Tian Ping, who was being chased and hacked by Cao Yuan, everyone else was watching the outcome closely.

It can be said that if Wang Mian wins, then the "Masked" team has already won; and if Ling Yue wins, then he can remove Wang Mian's mask, and then their recruit camp will have won.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the stone-armored bear and the king's long sword, afraid of missing even the slightest detail.

The Stone Armor Bear's massive rock fist had vanished, and the back of its fist, now encased in rock, was pressed against the tip of the King's blade.

Wang Mian, with his knees slightly bent and maintaining his balance, gripped the knife with both hands, the tip of the blade pointing directly at the stone-armored bear's clenched fist.

Three seconds later, Wang Mian was sent flying backward!

"team leader!"

"Yes, we won!"

'How is this possible? Ling Yue is playing me?!' Seeing this, the surrounding recruits and the [Masked] squad, including Yuan Gang underground, all thought that Wang Mian had lost.

Only the parties involved knew, only Ling Yue knew. Although Wang Mian was fighting him, he had no idea how much mental energy Ling Yue had left. And the two had been fighting for almost an hour; it would be very strange if he suddenly ran out of mental energy to undo his transformation, wouldn't it?

However, in reality, Ling Yue's transformation time depends entirely on his physical strength. As long as he has the physical strength, he can transform indefinitely without any problem. His mental strength only affects the strength of his use of elemental power before and after transformation. Of course, he seems to have only told Chen Muye about this; no one else knows.

Among everyone's attempts, the transformation duration of the transformation-type forbidden realm must be related to the level of cultivation and the amount of spiritual power, but they did not know that Ling Yue had a cheat!

Wang Mian may seem to have lost, and in fact he has, but Ling Yue will not do that.

Blood was flowing from the Stone Armor Bear's fist, a wound inflicted by Wang Mian's full-force strike with [Ge Yuan].

Wang Mian was blasted away, but in reality, he only suffered some internal injuries. In addition, his spiritual power was severely insufficient, and he was far from being completely powerless to resist after defeat, as everyone thought.

A brownish-yellow light emanated from Ling Yue's body, then enveloped him, gradually transforming him into a human form.

Ling Yue crouched down, his right fist, bleeding, hanging down so that no one could see it and they would think he was seriously injured.

This is where Ling Yue's acting skills will be tested. He coughed violently, breaking the surrounding tranquility.

"Cough cough! Captain [Masked] lives up to his name! I lost!" After saying that, Ling Yue squatted down on the ground as if he had exhausted his mental energy.

Wang Mian:???

Wang Mian was somewhat bewildered. He had expected an even more intense battle to follow, since he hadn't used any of the ultimate techniques from the Five Elements Lock that he knew of, so how could the transformation have been inexplicably canceled?
