Chapter 369: One Against a Thousand? Qian Yi's Sword!
Chapter 369: One Against a Thousand? Qian Yi's Sword!
Numerous figures rushed back to the Dream Isle at top speed.
Soon, a multitude of figures gathered around the Dream Isle.
Among them were participants who had already visited the Dream Isle before.
However, the threat posed by the mutated origami figure, Qian Yi, was too great to ignore. The news of him instantly slaying Cheng Cheng with a single sword stroke had spread far and wide, and he had also directly killed a Sovereign-rank Black Water Serpent with a single strike.
Such formidable strength inevitably made everyone wary.
Therefore, some people initially thought it unnecessary to compete with Su Ping for this matter, as there was no need! The provincial exam's mystic realm was so vast!
With so many beast resources available, why fight with Su Ping here and risk both parties getting injured? This was clearly unreasonable.
Thus, aside from a few reckless and arrogant individuals, most people directly left.
They decided to stabilize their rankings first before returning to the Dream Isle.
However, during this day and night, Su Ping's exam credits increased at an astonishing rate! As the Dream Isle was the core of the provincial exam, it was understandable that Su Ping's score was so high, as the top rank in the provincial exam would still need to be determined at the Imperial Capital's final exam.
Therefore, as long as they entered the top ten in the provincial exam, the ranking didn't matter much to many people.
But there were just too many people! Inside the Dream Isle, with so many resources and exam credits available, if those students waiting outside directly joined forces and entered the Dream Isle, causing the rankings of those hunting outside to drop, what would they do then? Precisely because of this consideration, on the second day when the provincial exam officially started, a large group of people headed straight for the Dream Isle.
Regardless, Su Ping had monopolized the Dream Isle for an entire day, so it should be enough, right?
This tacit understanding, born from their shared awareness, led to the current situation where hundreds of people once again gathered at the Dream Isle!
"Yan Fan? You're here too?"
A female voice called out to the figure beside her, slightly raising her eyebrows.
Yan Fan smiled faintly, "Li Yaoyao, your score isn't good either? Weren't you saying that the first place in this provincial exam was yours? How come you're only third now?"
The woman named Li Yaoyao scoffed lightly, "We're only fifty points apart, what's the point of saying that? But you, how come you're so far behind him?"
Countless people looked at the two who spoke as if no one else was around.
Through the student bracelets, they could clearly see the rankings!
These two, along with the person still in the Dream Isle, were the top three in the provincial exam, and it was highly likely that this ranking wouldn't change in the end!
Yan Fan's expression didn't reveal much, but he smiled slightly, "I didn't expect that the Dream Isle, as the core of the provincial exam, could really be held by one person. Su Master, you're truly extraordinary!"
His words were full of praise, but the confidence in his tone never wavered.
Li Yaoyao nodded, "Regardless, we should still go into the Dream Isle and take a look, right? That Dream Mist Stone will be perfect for Miaomiao!"
As she said this, Li Yaoyao gently patted the pitch-black creature on her shoulder.
This was a strange cat that seemed to merge with the shadows and mist, its body's contours obscured, revealing only a pair of emerald green eyes that appeared eerie and enchanting.
It was a Shadow Mist Cat, a Sovereign-rank potential companion beast, and Li Yaoyao's Shadow Cat was even more extraordinary.
Even Yan Fan, upon seeing this creature, felt a hint of wariness.
"I wonder if this Su Xiaodi has obtained the Dream Mist Stone. If he hasn't, then his strength is truly not to be underestimated."
It was evident that among the members taking the provincial exam, Li Yaoyao didn't know that Su Ping's high score was due to obtaining an Imperial-rank Dream Mist Stone, which directly increased his score by a thousand points, or from killing a beast.
"Alright, let's stop chattering and enter the Dream Isle first!"
Yan Fan nodded. He looked at the distant Dream Isle and took the lead, with a massive Thunder Peng appearing and spreading its wings to carry Yan Fan across the river, landing at the entrance to the Dream Isle's valley.
The faint mist couldn't hide the excitement on everyone's faces.
Many of them had been turned away from the Dream Isle before.
Even more had witnessed Su Ping's arrogance firsthand.
Especially Li Han.
After being rejected by Su Ping when he wanted to team up, he challenged Cheng Cheng and was instantly killed, then left the Dream Isle. Now, he had already climbed into the top fifty rankings.
Seeing so many people personally coming to the Dream Isle, he naturally followed along!
"With Elder Yan and so many of us here, let's see if Su Ping dares to block us with his origami figure again!"
Li Han smiled faintly, earning the approval of many, "How is that possible? Su Ping's strength is indeed formidable. But most of us are Overlord-rank beastmasters, each with three contract beasts. Even if he wants to block us, he won't be able to!"
"Exactly. With Elder Yan and Senior Li Yaoyao here, they'll lead us into the Dream Isle."
"In my opinion, we should have joined forces earlier and entered together. Otherwise, we wouldn't have given Su Ping such a huge advantage..."
"If you say that, without Elder Yan and the others, who would have the influence to gather us?"
The crowd discussed animatedly, but despite their seemingly heartfelt words, they were all in different camps, except for team members.
Yan Fan and Li Yaoyao witnessed this scene but didn't pay it much mind, understanding the situation.
With so many of them here, entering the Dream Isle was inevitable.
Even if Su Ping was truly stubborn and domineering, he couldn't stop them from coming! There were just too many people.
But who among those remaining was a fool?
Everyone was well aware of the situation.
However, within the provincial exam's mystic realm, there were only so many wild resources.
Now, why had these people gathered at the Dream Isle? It was because, with the participation of these students, the wild beasts and resources in other areas had been almost depleted.
Their exam credits were already stable.
So, was there any other way to increase their credits and improve their rankings?
Yes, it's these participating students themselves!
One of them has twenty exam credits!
This is also normal, as some had previously speculated that during the past two days, all the students were likely vying for wild resources. However, on the last day of the provincial exam, it's the most brutal mutual confrontation!
So, despite how close these people seem, almost everyone is on guard.
Unless there are wild resources in Dream Island for everyone to plunder, otherwise, the civil war among the students, the great chaos and confusion, is very likely to break out within Dream Island!
This isn't a guess, but a highly probable fact.
After all, Su Ping has too many exam credits, and this huge lead in credits is enough to prove that even if there are other resources within Dream Island, it's absolutely impossible for everyone to be satisfied.
When the time comes, the Beastmaster battle will be triggered!
Undoubtedly, this scene has also attracted the attention and eyes of all the viewers at this moment:
"Speaking of which, I really want to see Yan Fan and Li Yao Yao's companion beasts fight against Su Ping's origami figure. That origami figure seems so strange!"
"It's unlikely. Su God isn't stupid. Even if so many people gang up on one person, Su God's estimated exam credits should still be able to secure a spot in the top ten. There's no reason for him to face so many people, right?"
"That's right. Instead of expecting that, it's better to look forward to the chaos that will happen when we enter Dream Island, and where that Dream Mist Stone is located!"
Someone analyzed the current situation and predicted the most likely direction of events.
In fact, this is indeed the case. The commentators, judges, and logistics and medical teams are all on high alert at this moment, waiting for the Beastmaster battle that has been ignited ahead of schedule.
The main live perspective is also locked onto the valley of Dream Island at this moment!
It's placed on that person who still stands like a city unto himself, wearing a huge straw hat and a floor-length cloak, blocking the entrance to the valley.
However, what made many viewers slightly stunned was the five-colored light radiating from the origami figure.
It's like a flashing neon light, and compared to its previous low-key appearance, this strange origami figure is now too dazzling.
Nevertheless, even so, Yan Fan, who is at the forefront, doesn't seem to mind. He doesn't look directly at the origami figure but seems to look through it, gazing at Su Ping within the valley.
It's clear that Yan Fan isn't the type to underestimate others. Even if he could defeat Su Ping, it doesn't prove that he's stronger than this younger man who is four years his junior.
So, Yan Fan is extremely polite:
"Master Su, I also want to explore Dream Island. May I ask your companion beast to give way?"
He believes that Su Ping can hear him, and he also believes that Su Ping already knows the current situation in front of Dream Island.
In fact, it's indeed the case.
Su Ping's figure slowly emerges from the faint mist behind him, walking towards the thick cloud layer and stopping not far away.
He also knows that many people have come to Dream Island.
However, it's not through Qian Yi's observation and soul contract but through his last companion beast.
Yes, it's Fei Fei who informed Su Ping.
First, Fei Fei can connect to the wireless network anytime through the mystic realm, and the realm's network and signal blockade have no meaning for Fei Fei.
Not to mention Fei Fei's spiritual power simulation of wireless signals, even without such a powerful signal connection, Fei Fei has already completed the invasion of the entire provincial exam mystic realm's network. He has long been aware of the situation within.
So, on the online forum, many people are speculating about Su Ping's third companion beast, which he has never summoned, as a hidden trump card.
But in fact, Fei Fei has already played his role, just not on the front battlefield.
Therefore, these people's actions are as transparent as an open satellite map to Su Ping, who sees all the light points of people approaching him clearly.
But this is good, or rather, this is best.
It saves trouble.
So, after understanding the current situation, Su Ping walks out of the valley of Dream Island and comes to the entrance.
Naturally, Yan Fan's words are also clearly heard in his ears.
Seeing Su Ping's figure reappear, the eyes of those present light up slightly, but no one openly provokes him. After all, if they enter Dream Island, the so-called companions by their side will be the real ones they will be the ones they truly need to be wary of.
At the same time, Su Ping also speaks:
"As I said before, entering Dream Island is simple. Just defeat Qian Yi!"
"Since that's the case, then thank you..."
Yan Fan, who had prepared to express his gratitude, suddenly freezes, looking at Su Ping in disbelief as if he had misheard.
However, Su Ping's repeated words tell him and the others that they didn't mishear.
"I said, entering Dream Island is simple. Just defeat Qian Yi!"
Su Ping's calm words leave all the Beastmasters present stunned.

They indeed dare not believe their ears, nor dare they believe what Su Ping is saying, which is such a statement!
At this moment, how many people are present? Is Master Su not afraid of being ganged up on? What kind of companion beast can withstand the siege of so many people? Not to mention, the combat power of companion beasts like Yan Fan and Li Yao Yao, who are ranked at the top, is definitely not something that can be measured by level alone.
Even Yan Fan blinks, feeling a little dazed: "Master Su, you..."
Yan Fan is truly speechless. If it weren't necessary, he wouldn't have picked a fight with this genius who seems to have a slightly slow mind.
But now that it has come to this, even though he was initially polite, the other party doesn't seem to want to accept his kindness? A hint of coldness flashes in Yan Fan's eyes, and he's not the type to shy away from trouble.
"Since that's the case, then let me have a go at Master Su's strange paper companion beast?"
However, as he finishes speaking, the Thunder Peng and two other companion beasts appear, but Su Ping shakes his head:
"No need. Since you're all here, why don't you all come together?"
All together?
Yan Fan was stunned again.
If he remembered correctly, the use of mechanical weapons was prohibited within the Provincial Exam Mystic Realm, wasn't it?
So, where did this guy get such audacity?
It made no sense!
Not only was he bewildered, but everyone present, and even countless others outside the arena, were also bewildered.
This was indeed unreasonable! But, the Su Ping before them seemed to be serious, not joking around. He retreated, and the bizarre origami figure companion beast, glowing with colorful lights like a neon sign, slowly approached from behind.
It was clear that he wasn't joking.
At this moment, no one was mocking or scorning; the situation on the field was beyond everyone's expectations. Meanwhile, even those outside the arena, including Yin Yin, who rarely streamed anything other than Dream Heart games, and some of her employees, were also stunned and began to doubt their boss.
Could their boss have gone crazy? Why else would he start talking nonsense at this moment?
At the same time, across the ocean, as night fell, the master and apprentice, both looking like neither human nor ghost, also began watching Su Ping's live stream.
Mu Yu was amazed. Why would his master, with his status and strength, pay so much attention to a mere Overlord-rank beastmaster from the Dragon Nation?
But he dared not question his master's decision.
However, Mu Yu also found it unbelievable and couldn't spare a thought for anything else.
What kind of companion beast could face a thousand of the same rank?
Even a mutated origami figure wouldn't be so exaggerated and absurd.
He glanced at his master, wanting to speak, but it felt a bit unrealistic.
Charles, however, noticed his disciple's actions and continued calmly, "Let's keep watching. This little guy is quite interesting, and so is his companion beast."
At this moment, his flickering crimson soul fire's frequency increased, indicating that he wasn't as nonchalant as he claimed.
Indeed, it was as they thought.
Yan Fan, Li Yaoyao, and everyone present felt something was amiss.
But Su Ping's nonchalant demeanor and fearless words indicated he wasn't joking.
However, Yan Fan felt a bad premonition about so many people ganging up on one person, making him look bad.
Just as he was feeling this way, so many people had already arrived, eager to enter the Dream Island. It seemed they had to pass Su Ping's test first!
Yan Fan thought for a moment and let out a sigh, "Master Su is right. It's not fair for so many of us to gang up on a younger beastmaster. But since I've taken the lead, let me be the first to face Master Su in a beastmaster duel."
It would be too unfair to gang up on him, so he had to be the one to take the lead.
However, Su Ping didn't seem to offer any leeway, and said, "I said, let's all go together. If you don't make a move, then Qian Yi will have to!"
Facing a thousand alone, and taking the first move?
This kid was crazy! Absolutely crazy!
Yan Fan didn't hesitate and let out a crisp thunderbird cry, surrounded by terrifying thunder energy.
At this moment, everyone else summoned their companion beasts.
Although they didn't understand Su Ping's intentions, they had to prepare since this little madman was taking the first move.
Their decision proved correct.
Under the mist and darkening clouds, Su Ping stood there, a mysterious smile on his lips.
At this moment, the bizarre origami figure suddenly flew into the sky, hovering dozens of meters above.
Its cape and hat were flung off, fluttering in the wind.
In midair, they fluttered and spread out, white, red, blue, green, and yellow.
Five colors rapidly flashed around it.
Finally, everyone saw what was beneath the origami figure's hat—a poker card face.
It was a red Jack of Hearts!
What was this thing?
Everyone blinked, feeling a bit overwhelmed by the abstract face.
However, at this moment, everyone, including Yan Fan, felt an inexplicable sense of unease.
The boundless gale blew, and the terrifying energy, no longer suppressed, finally burst forth.
Finally, they heard the origami figure speak for the first time, "Woo-wah!"
They didn't understand its meaning, but soon realized what it meant. This wasn't directed at them, but at Qian Yi, as Su Ping looked at him with exasperation and said, "Sword, come!"
As he spoke,
An infinite energy storm raged, surrounding them.
Countless sharp, needle-like blades,
Like countless bamboo shoots after spring rain, pierced down from the sky,
Like falling stars, countless shadows overlapped.
In the darkening sky,
Amidst the cloud-lightning formed by bursting energy,
They looked up and saw,
A sword was coming.
