Spirit Master Girl: Contracting with an SSS-Level School Beauty at the Start-Chapter 475: Prey or Hunter?

After the completion of the Spirit Manipulation Technique Forest Maze.

The contestants from the eighteen federations launched their attack immediately.

Their attacks were sharp and the momentum was right on point, as if they were not holding back at all. However, Xiao Zhan could tell from the way they circulated their aura that they were still holding back.

The joint attack of over fifty people.

They did not follow the gentle strategy designed by the Nature Federation.

Instead of honestly entering the Forest Maze and playing a game of hide and seek, they chose the most brutal method, smashing the trees blocking their way with powerful punches.

"Xiao Zhan, aren’t you going in?"

Chu Mo was about to make his move but noticed that Xiao Zhan was standing still, seemingly observing from the sidelines.

The three of them were a team, and Gu Chen had already rushed out.

"With over fifty people, one more or one less of me won’t make a difference; you guys go ahead," Xiao Zhan said.

This kind of siege warfare, where the strength gap isn’t significant, hardly lasts half a minute.

Of course, it’s another matter if other federations deliberately hold back.

Listening to Xiao Zhan, Chu Mo felt his reasoning was solid.

But he knew that Xiao Zhan wouldn’t make such a decision for no reason; he looked at Xiao Zhan, pondering the reason behind his actions.

Yet, Xiao Zhan’s expression remained calm, revealing nothing of his thoughts.

However, based on Chu Mo’s understanding of Xiao Zhan, there must be a plan in Xiao Zhan’s mind.

"Then, can I stay behind too?" Chu Mo tentatively asked.

If Xiao Zhan had a plan, conserving his strength might help Xiao Zhan.

At the same time, he realized that several others from different federations were also standing still, not participating.

Out of fifty-four people, only about forty-six or seven were taking action.

"Do as you wish; however, for safety, it’s better if you go. They will hold back, but you won’t," Xiao Zhan remarked.

Other federations would surely hold back to increase their chances of winning.

To prevent an unexpected surge in strength from Xiao Zhan’s side when they besiege the Longxia Federation, making it difficult for them to defeat Xiao Zhan quickly.

Even though such an unexpected occurrence is less likely than winning a lottery during the ancient eras.

But they can’t afford to lose; they must win, thus they must consider and eliminate all unpredictable factors.

Even the slightest unpredictability is not overlooked.

Chu Mo understood Xiao Zhan’s intentions and nodded before attacking the Nature Federation.

His abilities were on par with Gu Chen’s and outstanding among the federations. With others holding back, his participation undoubtedly brought significant pressure to the Nature Federation.

Xiao Zhan looked at the few who hadn’t made a move yet.

They were all well-known figures, Machado, Sean...

They were not watching the ongoing battle, but instead, they focused on Xiao Zhan.

Upon noticing Xiao Zhan’s gaze, they did not avert their eyes but held his gaze, displaying a challenging demeanor.

Xiao Zhan just sneered.

Hunter or prey, the answer would be clear very soon.

The battle was intense in the field.

It seemed like a long time had passed, but it was only less than half a minute until the three members of the Nature Federation were defeated.

If it had been a fight to the death, forty-plus people could have killed the three of them in three seconds.

Half a minute was purely due to rule restrictions and intentional leniency.

The three members of the Nature Federation suffered minor injuries and needed treatment to recover. To ensure fairness in the competition, the morning session ended there, and it would resume in the afternoon.

A morning’s rest and treatment would allow the three from the Nature Federation to return to perfect condition.

Quickly,

the afternoon arrived.

The targets of the siege in the afternoon were from a small federation, who fell without any struggle in less than three seconds.

There’s no need to hold back against such small federations because they don’t qualify to extend the match with Longxia.

In fact, the Nature Federation didn’t need to hold back either. The eighteen federations only needed to choose one representative.

Because only one federation can participate in overtime.

So why hold back?

The reason is quite simple; it’s all about face.

Three seconds sound too harsh.

At least make it half a minute.

Of course, that’s the privilege of a Great Federation.

After the afternoon matches, it was time again for rest and treatment.

The third round would move to the next morning, and then another in the afternoon.

Two sessions a day, everything going according to their script, the results were either three seconds or half a minute.

Only the Beautiful Federation lasted one minute.

One minute, that’s practically making it the Pacific Ocean.

However, Xiao Zhan seemed unperturbed, while others tried to go easy, and Gu Chen and Chu Mo tried to manage, Xiao Zhan still stood motionlessly.

This scene caused mock sneers in the hearts of other federations’ members and infuriated Gu Chen and Chu Mo.

Because they felt, with Xiao Zhan’s involvement, even the Beautiful Federation wouldn’t have lasted one minute despite the leniency.

The difference between one minute and half a minute is significant.

Gu Chen did not believe Xiao Zhan had the strength to last a minute under the full assault of these people!

Yet their anger was for naught.

Xiao Zhan remained unmoved, just watching from the sidelines.

Even after the siege was over.

This caused Gu Chen to ignore him upon coming down and return to the base, venting his frustration to Qin Wanfeng.

Xiao Zhan acted as if he hadn’t heard.

In this way, the rhythm of the siege was very stable, and time quickly came to the last day.

During this period, Xiao Zhan still maintained a record of zero participation.

And the results from other federations remained the same.

The Last day.

Two challenges remained, one against the Baka Federation and one against the Longxia Federation.

Baka Federation in the morning, Longxia Federation in the afternoon.

Xiao Zhan looked at the Baka Federation taking the field, still wondering whether the Federation would choose the Beautiful Federation or the Baka Federation for the overtime match.

If it’s the Beautiful Federation, then Baka Federation is merely going through the motions.

But if it’s Baka, aren’t they afraid of Xiao Zhan suddenly taking action?

After all, if Xiao Zhan struck, Baka Federation might not even last a minute, then surpass the Beautiful Federation.

But as soon as this question arose, Xiao Zhan immediately understood their reasoning.

Now, with one minute, the Beautiful Federation was leading by a significant margin.

That’s like having a safety net.

In Baka Federation’s final challenge, if Xiao Zhan decided to act, then the Beautiful Federation would seamlessly become the opponent for overtime.

If Xiao Zhan still chose not to act, they would choose between the Beautiful and Baka Federations.

Planning for both scenarios.

In any case, they had a response ready.

And between Baka and Beautiful Federations, in terms of actual combat ability, they were the first and second among these federations.
