Starting with SSS-rank talent, I contracted the Forbidden Ferocity.

After Wang Qi took over, the rhythm of the Nanjiang team completely changed.

It's not about guarding.

It's about chasing.

Shen Ye did not lead his team to hide in the abandoned city.

He knew very well that the first royal flag was merely for show.

If we want to make Jiucheng truly fear Nanjiang, we have to keep fighting.

West side of the ruined city.

The Red Plains team had just captured a spirit flag and hadn't even had time to move when they saw a Netherfire Raven fly across the sky.

Captain Akara's expression changed drastically.

"Nanjiang is here!"

The next moment, Xiao Jue and Luo Lie charged out from the front.

A mountain-splitting demon ape cleared the way.

A Thunderhorn Tiger covered the rear.

Gu Chen's Mirror Domain sealed off both sides.

Shen Ye emerged from the shadows and deflected the spirit flag with a single strike.

"Leave the flag behind, you may leave."

Captain Akara gritted his teeth: "Shen Ye, you already have the royal flag, don't go too far!"

Shen Ye glanced at him.

"Admit defeat, or we'll take it ourselves."

The Akara team remained silent for three breaths.

Finally, they handed over the flag and withdrew.

It's not that I don't want to fight.

They dare not fight.

Nanjiang directly forced the capital back.

Chiyuan has no fourth-tier geniuses; a direct confrontation would be tantamount to giving away points.

[The Nanjiang team received a spirit flag.]

Points: 12000

Luo Lie carried the knife and laughed heartily.

"Is this what it feels like to fight for resources?"

Gu Chen said calmly, "You seem to be adapting very quickly."

Luo Lie said, "Nonsense, who doesn't like to win?"

Shen Ye looked at the map on his watch.

The next spirit flag is in the desolate forest to the southeast.

"Walk."

Over the next three hours, Nanjiang captured five spirit flags in succession.

Two of them were found directly.

Three sides were snatched from other teams.

The Northern Wilderness team was driven back once.

The Yunzhou team voluntarily handed over their flag.

The Xiling team attempted an ambush, but Gu Chen countered with his Mirror Domain, and Xiao Jue dispersed them in one wave.

Nanjiang's points have skyrocketed.

[Nanjiang Team: 16000]

[Beijing Team: 9000]

【Team Demon Sea: 8000】

Tianfu Team: 7000

[Northern Wilderness Team: 3000]

【Akahara Team: 2000】

[Donghai Team: 2000]

[Yunzhou Team: 1000]

[Xiling Team: 0]

The first stage is not over yet, but the points situation is already extremely clear.

Xiling is dangerous.

Yunzhou is in danger.

The Red Plains and the East Sea are also in a bad situation.

But no one dared to touch Nanjiang again.

Shen Ye led his team to a broken bridge to rest.

Luo Lie slumped onto the rock, panting, and said:

"It's great, but tiring."

Xiao Jue sneered: "Your stamina is too poor."

Luo Lie glared: "You were accelerated by my Thunderhorn Tiger the whole way, and you still have the nerve to say that?"

Gu Chen looked at the map and said:

"There is still one royal flag that has not yet appeared."

"If any of the teams from the capital, the demon sea, or the heavenly capital wins, the gap can be narrowed."

Shen Ye nodded.

"That's why we rob."

One of the team members from Nanjiang couldn't help but say:

"Team Leader Shen, we've secured our place in the next stage."

"Isn't it unnecessary to take the risk?"

Shen Ye looked at him.

"Our goal is to be number one, not just to advance."

The man was startled, then lowered his head.

"clear."

Just then, the sky bells rang again.

The second royal flag has appeared.

Location: Southwest District, Baigu Lake.

The Nine City watches lit up simultaneously.

Shen Ye stood up.

"Walk."

Gu Chen reminded:

"The capital, the Demon Sea, and the Heavenly Capital are all nearby."

Shen Ye said, "Perfect."

White Bone Lake.

The lake water was deathly white, and a large number of animal bones floated on the surface.

The king's flag was planted on a bone-shaped island in the middle of the lake.

When Nanjiang arrived, the three teams from Didu, Mohai, and Tianfu had already arrived.

The three parties are mutually restraining each other, and none of them make the first move.

Qin Wuji's expression turned cold when he saw Shen Ye.

Captain Chu Jinglan of the Demon Sea smiled slightly:

"Nanjiang has come too."

Li Xuance of Tianfu stood holding a wooden sword and said in a gentle voice:

"The last royal flag of the first phase looks like it's going to get interesting."

Shen Ye did not exchange pleasantries with them.

"The flag, Nanjiang wants it."

Chu Jinglan's smile faltered.

Qin Wuji sneered:

"You really think our three teams will just watch you take it?"

Shen Ye said, "That's why I said it."

"I'll take it."

This is not a discussion.

It's a notification.

Xiao Jue laughed loudly, and his battle axe fell to the ground.

"beat!"

Nanjiang took the lead.

The target is not Wang Qi.

It's the capital city.

Qin Wuji was furious.

"Shen Ye, do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

The Thunder Prison Domain unfolds.

The Thunder Prison Dragon Eagle soared into the sky.

But this time, Shen Ye did not challenge him to a one-on-one fight.

Gu Chenjing fell first.

Xiao Jue pressed forward head-on.

Luo Lie led his men to cut off the rear of the capital.

Shen Ye, Ye Yu, and Long Yuan simultaneously attacked Qin Wuji.

Qin Wuji finally realized that Nanjiang was not looking for a fair duel.

Their goal is to eliminate the capital city first.

Chu Jinglan's eyes flickered.

"Should we intervene?"

Li Xuance looked at the battlefield and said softly:

"Intervening now would be like taking a knife for the capital."

"wait."

The pressure on the capital city has increased dramatically.

Xu Feng and two other team members had already been eliminated, leaving seven players who were not yet at full strength.

Nanjiang, however, had ten men standing together, their momentum at its peak.

Although Qin Wuji was a formidable fourth-tier expert, he was held back by Shen Ye, Gu Chen, and Xiao Jue, and was unable to break the deadlock for the time being.

Luo Lie seized the opportunity, and Lei Jiaohu tackled a member of the Imperial Capital team.

"To admit it or not?"

The man gritted his teeth.

Luo Lielei held a knife to his neck.

"recognize!"

A flash of light.

There are six people remaining in the capital.

Then another person was knocked out of the battle circle by Xiao Jue.

Five people remain in the capital.

Qin Wuji's face turned ashen.

He knew he couldn't fight anymore.

"Retreat from the capital!"

He led his men to forcibly evacuate from White Bone Lake.

Shen Ye did not pursue.

He turned to look at Chu Jinglan and Li Xuance.

"Now, it's your turn."

The smile on Chu Jinglan's face finally disappeared.

Li Xuanze sighed softly:

"Shen Ye, you are even more domineering than the rumors suggest."

Shen Ye said, "I'm in a hurry."

The words fell.

White Bone Lake suddenly boiled.

A large number of white bone beast souls emerged from the bottom of the lake.

The protective array surrounding the banner was also activated.

Chu Jinglan and Li Xuance exchanged a glance and retreated simultaneously.

They chose not to fight.

Because Nanjiang is in a very bad state right now.

It's not worth risking everything for a single flag in the first stage.

Shen Ye led his team to eliminate the White Bone Beast Souls and raised the second King's Banner.

[Nanjiang team wins the championship.]

Points: 27000

The first phase countdown has ended.

The first phase of the Nine Cities Prodigy Battle has ended.

[The teams that advanced are: Nanjiang, Didu, Mohai, Tianfu, Beihuang, and Donghai.]

Eliminated teams: Chiyuan, Yunzhou, Xiling.

[First Place: Nanjiang, 27000 points.]

The viewing stands outside were in complete uproar.

Nanjiang.

Nanjiang has failed to make the top five for three consecutive years.

In the first stage this year, they actually surpassed Beijing, Shanghai, and Chengdu to take first place.

Han Pojun sat calmly in the instructor's seat.

But his hands, resting on his knees, were already slightly clenched.

Lu Qingshan laughed heartily.

"First match, beautiful."
