After forcing Tai Shan to escape, Bai Xiaofei suggested a very shameless idea . Nevertheless, it did not take long for everyone to agree to it . After all, shameless ideas were often also the most effective method of dealing with things . To sum up Bai Xiaofei’s idea, it was to guard the portal .
After joining up with Wang Hang’s group of six, their group was now of considerable size and was comprised of students from three different classes . Therefore, Bai Xiaofei believed there was no need for them to search the entire locale for prey .
After all, based on the rules, even if only one person from a class survived, that class would be one of the top ten to advance to the next round . Therefore, they hid themselves within the man-made ruins constructed by Lin Li, and they waited silently for the fat lambs to arrive at the portal .
One fat lamb, two fat lambs, three fat lambs . . . one after another, fat lambs arrived . Anyone would be in a momentary stun after a portal teleport . This momentary stun of perhaps only a half second or a second was already sufficient for Bai Xiaofei’s group to finish them .
The group was guarding the portal connecting the Earth and the Wood Realms, which was a busy portal . The larger groups that came through it were somewhat annoying to deal with and were their only trouble . But nevertheless, the groups weren’t able to cause too much trouble for them because, after all, there were several powerful individuals among Bai Xiaofei’s group .
Among those they had ambushed, a certain class had suffered the most miserable fate . This class had went through the portal one at a time, thus lining themselves up for death and getting themselves eliminated one by one .
As time passed, people from their own classes also started appearing from the portal, and there were a few times where Mo Ka nearly killed the wrong person with a slip of his hand .

With the arrivals of their classmates, the ambush group grew larger in size . Eventually, Xu Chen’s and Fang Ye’s groups arrived as well . However, they didn’t seem to be doing so well .
To protect Xu Chen, Duan Yiyi and Zhu Nuo had been eliminated by Yan Suzi at the Fire Realm . As for Fang Ye’s group of four, Shi Kui and Wu Chi had been eliminated under Zhao Ziyun’s spear . Therefore, by the time the Savage Class fully regrouped, only eleven members were left .
Hu Xian’er’s class 21 wasn’t any better off either . Because it was obvious Hu Xian’er was siding with Bai Xiaofei, the other Newcomer King classes attacked without hesitation whenever they saw her classmates .
Despite this, their group, which was comprised of three classes, was without a doubt the strongest group within the five realms . On top of that, they also had Bai Xiaofei’s “brilliant” ideas to work with .
Time passed and the fat lambs reduced in number . At times they needed to wait for a long while only to have around one or two fat lambs come through the portal . From how miserable these people looked when they arrived, it was obvious they were being pursued in the other realm .
“Fang Ye, keep watch with You Xing and Li Luo . Everyone else, rest . ” Bai Xiaofei picked one person from each class to keep watch . One of them was from the Ranged Stream, another was from the Assassin Stream, and the last was from the Onslaught Stream, who would also be in charge of suppression .
This lineup was sufficient to deal with many different circumstances that might arise, and no matter what happened, they wouldn’t be instantly finished off .

“No problem . Don’t worry and take your rest . ” Fang Ye agreed and brought the other two guys along .
It was quite rare that nobody resisted Bai Xiaofei’s commands . Everyone stayed where they were and started eating . Bai Kai once more showed off his cooking proficiency, conquering everyone present .
There was a certain saying about how a man’s heart would always be tied to his stomach . Bai Kai wasn’t able to reap any love from the men here, but a strong bromance had still developed between them . This was especially true for the foodies of the Savage Class .
“Big Brother Fei, are we going to continue hiding here?” Mo Ka was now stuffed full, his lips covered with grease . Wu Chi and Shi Kui had both been defeated, so apart from Bai Xiaofei, Mo Ka was the only member of dorm 807 left . He had already thought of how he would make fun of those two after the round ended .
“What else can we do? Are we supposed to move somewhere else and deliver ourselves into someone else’s palm? You never know . At the opposite side of the portal, there could be a group waiting for us, as if we’re the fat lambs instead . ” Bai Xiaofei’s sharp words immediately wounded Mo Ka .
“But Boss Bai, we can’t keep waiting forever, right? Very few people are coming here anymore . I reckon all the survivors have already grouped up . For the sake of the final quota, many people would stay in hiding,” said a coarse-looking guy . If it wasn’t for the age limit for enrolling into Starnet Academy, nobody would believe that he was only sixteen years old . Of course, one should not judge him based on his looks . He was a very important character among the group .
He was a top Proficient Rank puppet master of the Transformation Stream – known as the Berserk Gorilla, Yuan Kun . What he said caused Bai Xiaofei to look at him in a new light . Bai Xiaofei had initially judged Yuan Kun as someone who was all muscle and no brain based on how he looked .

“Don’t worry . ” Bai Xiaofei smiled . The confidence with which he smiled eased the hearts of many people here . “There will definitely be others who are more anxious than us . So long as Tai Shan spreads the news of our gathering, the remaining Newcomer Kings won’t be able to stay calm . ”
Suddenly, Luo Xi’s voice rang out within the illusionary realm, making a new announcement – one that drove Bai Xiaofei mad with joy .
“Fewer than fifty classes remain in the illusionary realm . We will therefore be entering the second stage . Based on the number of people remaining in each realm, two realms will be removed . The Wood and Water Realms have the lowest number of survivors, so they will be removed . The process will take an hour, and anyone who is still in the two realms after an hour will be removed along with them . Make haste, everyone!”
After the announcement, some were happy and some were sad . Bai Xiaofei stood up in excitement .
“Get to work! Keep persevering and victory will be in our grasps!” he said then returned to his position .
The group continued to guard the portal, deciding to stay shameless till the end . The Earth Realm was linked to both the Wood and Water Realms, so after Luo Xi’s announcement, it was as if spring had arrived . Many people started heading to the Earth Realm, not knowing what awaited them on the other side of the portal .
This announcement had also driven the spectators mad . Among them, the most agitated ones weren’t the head teachers of the respective classes . Rather, it was the Babel Merchant House’s three vice presidents .
“Hey, this isn’t good, right? Isn’t this screwing with our plan?” said the uniformed guy in his twenties . Anxiety filled his face .
The bearded old man knocked on his walking cane and spoke sternly . “Don’t make any verdict before it reaches the end . Don’t look down on how enticing 100 million Amethyst Coins can be . I believe there is still hope for us . ”
“Old Tong, stop lying to yourself . If the enticement of 100 million is really that huge, that Lin Li and Hu Xian’er would have been defeated when they were at the Wood Realm . From the fact they had given up such a good opportunity to eliminate them, it’s clear that nobody was trying their best . And with their current lineup, do you think anyone would still bother trying to face them?”
The uniformed guy sneered before turning to look at Zhuang Ming . He then said, “Uncle Ming, this is your mistake . If you had instead increased the bounty to one billion, they wouldn’t be hesitating so much to go against the Savage Class . ”
“What’s the point of playing the blame game now? Think of a new idea . It’s no longer possible to eliminate them in this round,” Zhuang Ming said coldly . He gripped the two metal balls in his palm so hard that cracking sounds could be heard . “I’m taking a trip to the Ethereal Pavilion . You two can continue watching . ”
Zhuang Ming then stood up to leave . He was no longer interested in continuing to watch . After all, this round’s results were already clear .
