As the crowd wondered what Zhou Yan intended to do, he made his move, flying directly into a city.
Those outside watched Zhou Yan's actions with great curiosity, unsure of his intentions. However, they had a feeling they knew what he was about to do.
"Zhou Yan is going to attack a city alone!"
"Is he crazy? He's just one person!"
"I can't believe he'd dare to do something like this alone. It's too insane!"
Was Zhou Yan insane?
Not at all. He simply possessed absolute strength, which enabled him to do such a thing. His power was truly capable of it.
Zhou Yan could fly, and at incredible speed. As he charged into the city, onlookers could only see a blur of light.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
"Someone has reached the crystal, protect the crystal quickly!"
"Damn it, this guy is crazy, daring to come here alone."
Zhou Yan flew into the enemy city at top speed, heading straight for their crystal. Before anyone could react, he directly attacked it.
No one had expected defenses at the crystal, leaving it unguarded. Consequently, as the crystal was destroyed, they vanished.
When the entire city disappeared, people outside exclaimed in shock.
"Did Zhou Yan break the rules? With this kind of play, can't he just destroy all the cities by himself?"
"Exactly, this is cheating. It can't be like this. This Zhou Yan is being too unfair to the people in other cities."
"Boycott Zhou Yan."
Meanwhile, the people of Shen Long Nation were ecstatic and cheered loudly as Zhou Yan effortlessly destroyed one of the cities' crystals.
"What rules did Zhou Yan break? He used his own strength to destroy the enemy crystal. If others are capable, they can do it too."
"Zhou Yan is awesome! Zhou Yan is amazing, keep destroying other cities."
"You foreigners are truly shameless. You united so many countries to attack our city, and we didn't say anything. Now that Zhou Yan simply destroyed a city with his own strength, you're jealous and envious. You people are utterly shameless."
Regardless of the outside debates, it had no impact on the students within the competition.
Upon hearing the notification, Feng Qingyang and the other two immediately summoned five thousand soldiers. This greatly increased the number of soldiers within the city, significantly reducing their pressure.
However, seeing the enemy's reinforcements increase and more soldiers attacking from outside, Feng Qingyang and the others still felt immense pressure.
Ye Bufan also heard the announcement and decided not to wait. He walked in the opposite direction of Zhou Yan. Since returning to the city wouldn't achieve much now, he decided to destroy more cities instead.
This way, as long as their own city had enough soldiers, no matter how many enemy soldiers came, it would be futile.
Attacking a city was already many times more difficult than defending one. For them to capture Shen Long Nation's city, they would need soldiers several times more numerous.
But as long as they could capture more cities, even with hundreds of thousands of soldiers, it would be impossible to break through.
Zhou Yan's speed was astonishing. After destroying one city, he continued flying towards the next. A distance of five kilometers was merely a brief moment for Zhou Yan.
Thus, the second city suffered the same fate, being single-handedly conquered by Zhou Yan within just a few minutes.
The speed was too immense, leaving the enemy no time for reinforcements before they were annihilated.
Feng Qingyang and the others were stunned. In less than ten minutes, Zhou Yan had conquered two cities outside. They could now summon an additional five thousand soldiers.
The three of them could summon thirty thousand soldiers, greatly alleviating their pressure.
"How did Zhou Yan do it? His speed is too incredible. If this continues, we won't need him to return; we'll have enough strength to hold off the enemy," Zheng Yuan exclaimed in surprise.
"In any case, this is a good thing for us," Jin Nuanmeng said.
"I think I understand what Zhou Yan is doing. These guys forced him to do this. It seems we don't need to worry anymore; we can just focus on eliminating the enemy's effective forces here," Feng Qingyang smiled.
"Then let's play along with them. They think we have few soldiers defending, so let's keep giving them opportunities, letting them think they're about to break through our city," Zheng Yuan voiced his thoughts.
"You kid, you're so devious. Let's do that then," Jin Nuanmeng also thought the idea was good.
Although the enemy had hundreds of thousands of soldiers, they believed Zhou Yan would surely provide more surprises in a short time.
As expected, after a while longer, Zhou Yan delivered another surprise. He had captured yet another city.
The three of them could summon more and more soldiers, while the enemy's numbers steadily decreased. Once the enemy's numbers were depleted, it would be their turn to counterattack.
No one had expected things to turn around like this.
Upon receiving news that Shen Long Nation was under attack, Zhou Yan not only failed to dispatch reinforcements but instead launched attacks on other cities. Moreover, it seemed the allied invasion of Shen Long Nation had angered Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan was indeed furious. Eight nations allied? Hearing news that was somewhat similar ignited an inexplicable rage within him.
Burning with anger, since they dared to act this way, Zhou Yan saw no need for politeness.
Zhou Yan intended to let the entire world know that he, alone, could challenge all their cities; he, alone, was sufficient to destroy all their cities.
He did just that, and the world witnessed it. They saw his powerful side, they saw his terrifying might.
Wherever Zhou Yan went, no matter the country or the enemy, none could stop him. Cities vanished at his hands, cities were destroyed by him.
He single-handedly brought about a global devastation. His strength was too overwhelming here, placing him on a completely different tier. The other students were like mere children, at his mercy.
Time slowly passed. Zhou Yan summoned countless Elven Archers and sent them to attack other cities. Thus, Zhou Yan led one front, Ye Bufan another, and Zhou Yan's own soldiers a third, sweeping through other cities in a three-pronged assault.
Everywhere they went, all cities were ruined by their passage.
The crowd was shocked. Shen Long Nation intended to sweep across the entire world.
