Chapter 898: Battle at the Beacon Tower

Lin Mo rushed towards the nearest beacon tower, carrying a beautiful woman on his back, but it didn't slow him down in the slightest.

In less than an hour, Lin Mo had already arrived outside the beacon tower. The beacon tower was set on a seven to eight-meter-high circular platform, surrounded by stairs leading up. The circular platform had a radius of about a hundred yards, and it seemed to be sealed off by an invisible force, preventing any elemental energy from entering.

Inside, the battles had to rely on one's own elemental energy; they couldn't use the elemental energy of heaven and earth. Once their own elemental energy was exhausted, they would have to rely on their physical strength to fight.

So, even in the first-tier area, even geniuses like Ye Xuan didn't dare to take on a hundred opponents at once. Most of the time, it was a struggle for power and cunning.

"You're quite fast in your actions," Lin Mo commented as he looked at the dozens of disciples already fighting within the restricted area.

However, Lin Mo didn't rush in. Instead, he extended his spiritual power. He had already reached the rank of a Fifth Stage Spirit Master, and the range of his spiritual power had expanded to five miles.

"It seems there aren't any exceptionally strong individuals nearby," Lin Mo murmured to himself.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

As Lin Mo observed the scene, battles had already broken out within the restricted area of the beacon tower, and the sounds of spiritual treasures colliding echoed.

This was followed by a series of curses.

"Fan Yang, you beast! You actually ambushed me!" one person, coughing up blood, shouted, "We're all from the same ancient academy!"

"Hmph, at a time like this, there's no need to talk about that. It's just a matter of the victor and the defeated," the other person replied.

"Shameless!"

...

The curses continued, and Lin Mo began to understand why Xiao Jianfeng emphasized the importance of helping each other within the same academy. In the current situation, many people had chosen to betray their former teammates for the rewards on the beacon tower.

Lin Mo sighed, "Ah."

He was about to step in to put an end to the chaos when someone outside the restricted area suddenly shouted.

"You bunch of useless trash, get out of my way!"

A burly young man with an imposing aura shouted, and his elemental energy surged within him. He was a First Heaven of Myriad Realms Realm cultivator.

When the others sensed his strength, they were taken aback.

Most of the disciples in the third-tier group had just reached the Half-Step Myriad Realms Realm, and although there were differences in strength among them, there were very few with the power of the Myriad Realms Realm.

Seeing someone with such strength emerging, naturally made people fearful.

"I'll take ten steps forward. If you don't voluntarily retreat by then, I won't mind staining the beacon tower red!"

The voice of Guan Fei, filled with killing intent, echoed.

However, to his surprise, the more than ten people within the restricted area of the beacon tower were only briefly frightened and then continued their own battles, ignoring him.

They seemed to completely disregard his presence.

"Judging from their figures, they should be from the Ancient Academy of Yingzhou's Southern Wasteland," a nearby person said with a cold smile.

"Southern Wasteland Academy students are all transformed into demon beasts, and they indeed have an advantage in physical strength. It's not surprising that they have this confidence. However, this method of making enemies on all sides is truly foolish."

Among them, the leader, a short-haired man, shook his head and sneered.

"Senior Brother Lin, there's still someone standing over there. I don't know their strength," one of them pointed towards Lin Mo and said.

The leader, Lin Chen, turned his head to look and saw Lin Mo standing there quietly with Mu Ruo Die on his back.

"Carrying a wounded person, he's obviously a loser... hmm... but that girl he's carrying is quite..."

Seeing the ethereal beauty of Mu Ruo Die, Lin Chen's speech became somewhat inarticulate.

"Indeed," another person next to him agreed, "Such beauty... hmm..."

As they spoke, the three of them showed lecherous smiles.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

On the other side, Guan Fei, who had been ignored, suddenly became furious. He unleashed a powerful force and rushed into the restricted area of the beacon tower like a fierce beast. When he saw someone, he immediately launched a barrage of punches, displaying formidable strength that was truly shocking.

However, the situation in the arena changed rapidly. After defeating three or four opponents, the others stopped their chaotic battles and turned to face him. None of them were idiots; with such a formidable opponent in their midst, they had to subdue him first before they could have a chance.

So, everyone began to surround Guan Fei, not with direct attacks, but by adopting tactics to deplete his elemental energy.

Meanwhile, Lin Mo didn't stay long and continued to walk towards the beacon tower with Mu Ruo Die on his back.

"Senior Brother Lin, what should we do..."

"Let's go up!"

Lin Chen and the others took advantage of the situation and rushed in as well. The three of them unleashed their full power, and each of them had a strong presence.

Lin Chen, in particular, was the strongest, already at the First Heaven of Myriad Realms Realm.

"Hmm?"

Seeing the three of them join in, Guan Fei frowned slightly, but he wasn't afraid.

As a result, the situation in the arena changed again, but this time, Lin Chen and the others had a bit more strength and quickly forced Guan Fei to retreat.
