Liu Yan was also surprised when he saw the one-sided battlefield.

Murong Xue’s strength was not weak, especially her defense.

With the Rock Shield, Murong Xue’s defense was even more exaggerated.

At this moment, Murong Xue even had Chu Long’s support skills, which increased her defense to a certain extent.

But even so, Murong Xue could not withstand the guardian beast in front of her.

Seeing this, Liu Yan was somewhat amazed by the strength of this guardian beast and hurriedly checked its information.

[ Sturdy Back Ape ]

Talent: SS

Level: 60

…

Liu Yan could not check the detailed information, but he knew that the Sturdy Back Ape was also a level 60 powerful fierce beast with a talent of SS-grade.

After reading the brief information about Sturdy Back Ape, Liu Yan had a preliminary understanding. Murong Xue was no match for such a strong fierce beast.

Seeing that Murong Xue was ready to use level 4 of the Tyrant Body, Liu Yan shouted hurriedly, “Alright, Murong Xue, come down and rest!”

Murong Xue glanced at Liu Yan, her eyes full of unwillingness.

Murong Xue was so eager to fight and win. She was unwilling to give up.

However, Murong Xue also understood Liu Yan’s meaning. Right now, she could not defend against Sturdy Back Ape even with her best defense.

Even if she used level 4 of the Tyrant Body and her strength increased again, she would at most be able to defend against Sturdy Back Ape.

But if she wanted to attack or even defeat Sturdy Back Ape, there was no such possibility.

Although Murong Xue was unwilling, Liu Yan had already given her an order, so she could not disobey. She blocked another attack from Sturdy Back Ape and quickly retreated.

After Murong Xue retreated, Allen Smith, who was standing by the side, left behind an afterimage and disappeared.

Then, Allen Smith arrived in front of Sturdy Back Ape and was ready to fight.

Xu Han, who was behind him, saw this and quickly shouted, “Allen, do you need my help?”

When Allen heard this, he turned around and glared at Xu Han, “How dare you!”

When Xu Han saw this, he helplessly sighed and had no choice but to give up. He said to Liu Yan, “This guy has such a weird temper. His talent and strength are not bad, but he likes to fight one-on-one and doesn’t like to cooperate. He is overconfident in himself. There’s no other way. Don’t help him, lest this guy gets angry.”

Liu Yan heard this and nodded slightly. He also had a preliminary understanding of Allen Smith’s character.

To put it bluntly, Allen Smith was overly confident in himself.

Previously, Liu Yan had seen it from other geniuses. Allen Smith had great talent when he was young, so he became arrogant with his strength. Allen Smith was confident in his strength and did not like to gang up on an opponent. He only liked to fight one-on-one or in a team.

However, Liu Yan scoffed at such a character. He felt that there was no need for it.

In the past, he had come into contact with many geniuses. However, many of them had lost a lot because they had overestimated themselves.

There were even some who had lost their lives.

One needed to have enough strength if they wanted d to fight one-on-one.

However, since Allen Smith liked to fight one-on-one and did not like others to interfere, Liu Yan might as well watch from the side.

At the same time, Liu Yan was also a little curious.

Allen Smith was a genius student of the Gifted Academy. He was known as the war machine, and his combat strength was terrifying.

Although he had interacted with Allen Smith a little before, he had only seen the scene of trial on the fifth floor of the Tower. He could only see a portion of his strength.

However, Liu Yan had not understood Allen Smith’s true combat strength. He wanted to take this opportunity to understand it.

Murong Xue retreated to Liu Yan’s side. She said unwillingly, “This Sturdy Back Ape is too strong, but if I use level 4 of the Tyrant’s Body, I might be able to fight it!”

Liu Yan heard this and said calmly, “You’ve fought it just now, so you should be clear about your gap between the ape. If you use level 4 of the Tyrant’s Body, you can only defend against its attacks. You can’t defeat Sturdy Back Ape. There’s no point in you keep fighting it. More battles will come, so you need to conserve your energy.”

Liu Yan was clear that if Murong Xue used level 3 of the Tyrant’s Body, it would put a heavy burden on her.

If Murong Xue used level 4 of the Tyrant’s Body, Murong Xue would not be able to recover in a short period. She would not be able to play much of a role in the upcoming battles.

Naturally, Liu Yan would not allow Murong Xue to be like this.

Hearing this, Murong Xue felt a little indignant in her heart. She looked regretfully at Sturdy Back Ape. She thought it was a pity that she did not have enough fun in this battle.

However, Murong Xue also knew that what Liu Yan said was right. For the sake of the bigger picture, this was the only way.

At this moment, Liu Yan and the others also turned their gazes towards the battle in the distance.

Allen Smith’s strength was terrifying. When he fought with the Sturdy Back Ape, he did not lose at all. He even had the upper hand.

When Murong Xue saw this, she was surprised. “This guy’s strength is not bad.”

Murong Xue had just fought with Sturdy Back Ape, so she knew the terrifying strength of Sturdy Back Ape the best.

Sturdy Back Ape’s attacks looked simple. It did not have any complicated moves or powerful skills. Instead, it mainly focused on close combat.

But in reality, each Sturdy Back Ape’s attack contained a terrifying power that could topple mountains and overturn seas, making people feel suffocated.

On the other hand, when facing such a terrifying close combat strength of Sturdy Back Ape, Allen Smith was not at a disadvantage. It was truly astonishing.

Liu Yan watched for a while and had some understanding of Allen Smith. Allen Smith’s class should be a warrior class, and he was also proficient in close combat.

However, Allen Smith’s strength was far above Murong Xue’s. There were also some differences between their classes.

Murong Xue was also a melee fighter, but she was mainly good at defense, leaning towards the tank class.

On the other hand, Allen Smith was good at both offense and defense. His offense and defense were incredible, leaning towards the warrior class.

Although Sturdy Back Ape’s attacks were powerful, Allen Smith’s close combat skills were impressive. He was able to dodge Sturdy Back Ape’s attacks relatively easily. He was hit occasionally, but they were only minor injuries. With Chu Long’s timely healing from behind, his injuries recovered almost instantly.

Just when Liu Yan and the others thought Sturdy Back Ape would lose, it raised its head and let out a long howl.

Then, many green lights could be seen in the surrounding forest. They immediately gathered towards Sturdy Back Ape.

Sturdy Back Ape’s body instantly became much stronger.

At the same time, its aura also rose steadily.

“Not good, Sturdy Back Ape has absorbed a large amount of wood attribute energy. Its strength has increased greatly!” Xu Han realized and immediately exclaimed.

Liu Yan also frowned slightly. He did not expect Sturdy Back Ape to have such a skill.

They were in the wood attribute territory, so the surroundings were already filled with a large amount of wood attribute energy.

With this absorption, Sturdy Back Ape’s strength instantly increased significantly.

And Sturdy Back Ape immediately reversed the slight disadvantage of the battle just now.

Just now, Sturdy Back Ape was still slightly suppressed by Allen Smith. After absorbing a large amount of wood attribute energy to increase its strength, it instantly completely crushed Allen Smith.

Not long after, Allen Smith was defeated.
