This cry of the phoenix originated from Wutong City among the Twelve Cities.
In that area, a handsome man in white gently waving a fan appeared. Behind him, a red phoenix shadow emerged, letting out a loud phoenix call.
The phoenix did not affect the surrounding environment. After its call, it guarded the man, resisting the pressure from Ni Yezhou’s Ancient Thunder Beast.
Everyone present understood this point.
Although it had not reached the level of True Martial Intent, a martial artist who formed Martial Intent would greatly increase their ability to resist True Martial Intent.
If he only protected himself, he could naturally pass with ease.
However, this handsome young man, with a graceful demeanor, waved his hand, and the phoenix shadow unexpectedly shielded several people around him consecutively.
"Thank you, Master Mingfeng."
"Master, we will surely repay your great kindness in the future."
Those people breathed a sigh of relief, their faces showing gratitude as they hurriedly thanked him.
If not for this Fire Phoenix Martial Intent shielding them from the pressure, they might really have been unable to withstand it.
The young man casually waved his hand, "We’re all fellow disciples, just looking out for each other. We’ll need to support each other when we enter the Martial Arts School in the future."
They were also among the cream of the crop among the students of Wutong City.
However, unlike in Linjiang City, all the schools in Wutong City were led by Wutong Academy, so these people naturally followed the lead of the top student in Wutong Academy.
This Master Mingfeng was their leader. In this situation, it was as if the big brother was taking care of his little brothers.
Three minutes had already passed.
Among the thousands of people on the scene, one-fifth had already collapsed, being hurriedly taken to the ambulance.
The elimination rate was undeniably terrifying.
Each city basically brought out their ace techniques.
In just a few dozen seconds, dozens of Martial Intents rose within the Great Martial Hall. Although they seemed incredibly weak in the face of Ni Yezhou’s True Martial Intent, this was an assessment for everyone, and those possessing Martial Intent could naturally withstand it.
The surrounding Martial Intent continuously appeared, not only helping themselves resist the pressure but also protecting teammates, squeezing out the Martial Intent of the strong students from other cities.
Everyone was a competitor.
The ones being protected clearly had agreed on this beforehand.
Either they knew students who had Martial Intent, or they offered enough benefits to seek protection.
Even the team from Zenith City.
They were completely protected by a few students who had condensed Martial Intent, sheltering half of their people.
"Cheaters! They’re all cheaters!"
"These people are blatantly cheating; is this even within the rules?"
Baiyu secretly complained in his heart.
Previously, Ni Yezhou said that no matter what method you used, as long as you could persist for five minutes, you would pass, which certainly took this into account long ago.
However, they, coming from a backwater place like Linjiang City, did not receive the inside information.
Baiyu observed the surroundings.
Ni Yezhou’s pressure was terrifying, and it continued to increase as time went on, but for someone like Baiyu, who was steady, it was still within bearable limits.
It’s a piece of cake, no big deal.
Moreover, there were many who could persist without relying on Martial Intent.
For example, Jiang Xi.
For example, Lan Ziyue.
These were clearly individuals with extremely resilient spirits, which was truly frightening.
Indeed, when women become ruthless, it’s really terrifying.
"But foolish women are still as dragging as ever. With her family being so wealthy, didn’t they prepare any trump cards for her?"
Baiyu’s gaze landed on Ning Qian, not far from him.
At this moment, her forehead was covered in sweat, her body wavering, struggling against the Thunder Beast’s pressure, as if she might fall at any moment.
Feeling something in his heart.
Ning Qian also turned her head, meeting Baiyu’s gaze.
The girl’s spiritual eyes were filled with perseverance, persistence, and strength.
She looked pitifully moving.
Baiyu even wanted to type "protect" on the public screen.
"At this rate, she definitely won’t last five minutes. The Thunder Beast’s pressure continues to intensify, and the longer it goes on, the more exhausting it becomes, with the pressure increasing almost exponentially."
At this moment, although he had spare energy, he had not yet reached the point of using Martial Intent, but his people were about to give in.
It’s not just the Thunder Beast’s pressure.
The Martial Intents released by students from other cities were also a pressure and burden on other students.
Throughout the Twelve Cities.
Only Baiyu’s Linjiang City and Gan Yuhan’s Yuan Chun City had no students releasing Martial Intent to counteract.
The golden little rich girl will be eliminated if it keeps going .
Baiyu made up his mind, an indescribable force quietly rose from within, mixed with blood energy, bursting out like a caged beast, forming into a Chaos Demon Ape on his back, letting out a long roar.
The lights above the Linjiang City region dimmed.
This energy blocked the rampaging thunder from the Thunder Beast, relieving the pressure on Ning Qian.
At this stage, students who could condense Martial Intent generally chose to release it using their main Core Technique.
Because this made it easier for them to cultivate the True Martial Intent of their Core Technique in the future.
Whatever the Core Technique’s visualization diagram was, the shadow they formed with Martial Intent was a much weaker version of that diagram.
When they cultivated True Martial Intent in the future, it would provide a foundation.
The biggest difference between Martial Intent and True Martial Intent lies in the word "True".
True Martial Intent can affect real environmental changes, like the lightning released by Ni Yezhou’s Thunder Beast, which could actually cause real harm.
But Martial Intent cannot do that.
Martial artists with family or sect inheritance know that Martial Intent is basically a prelude to True Martial Intent.
So, they wouldn’t use Martial Intent to form anything other than the visualization diagram.
Doing so would lead to chaotic cultivation in the future, affecting their mental state.
But Baiyu was different.
He was a freak who had accidentally cultivated Martial Intent through the Celestial Profound Cultivation Room, and since his Martial Intent’s core ideology was "steady."
Who on earth would have such a strange core ideology?
Therefore, Baiyu’s Martial Intent was a random imitation, and at present, he was most familiar with the Great Ape King Fist from the Myriad Beasts Battle Technique, so he directly simulated the form of the Great Ape King Fist with his Martial Intent.
He should simulate the Ice Skin Jade Bone Skill’s visualization diagram, which would be the best choice.
But that thing was too embarrassing; it couldn’t be used unless absolutely necessary.
The others were unaware.
Seeing a Demon Ape shrouded in black gas, with scarlet eyes, appear above the Linjiang City student region, everyone was taken aback.
Mainly because it was too conspicuous.
The whole region had just that one Martial Intent, and when it appeared, it actually squeezed out the phoenix from Wutong City and the Ice Roar from Ice Cliff.
It was unreasonably overbearing.
The smile on Master Mingfeng’s handsome face froze. He looked at the source of the Martial Intent, his expression changing instantly: "There is actually a man more handsome than me in the world.
But this person’s Martial Intent is crude, who knows what filthy and disgusting thing was visualized, surrounded by demonic light.
This person must be only a pretty face with a filthy mind, huh, after the five minutes are up, that’s when our real battle begins."
He opened his fan, feeling as if he had eaten ten lemons in his heart.
His speculation completely misunderstood Baiyu.
The Myriad Beasts Battle Technique was essentially a Slaughter Spirit Technique and did not have a visualization diagram like Core Techniques.
This Demon Ape was entirely conceived by Baiyu, who had been influenced by countless myths in his past life and had often seen some masterpieces by animanga artists, mused up by himself.
The Great Ape King Fist had no visualization diagram.
This Demon Ape was just something he imagined.
