Previously, no one was very confident that Chen Mo and Yan Yingyue could persist until the 30th day. However, ever since Chen Mo revealed his explosive monster-grinding speed after the 19th day, more and more people ca to believe they could last until the 30th day.
Now, they had indeed done so.
Naturally, everyone expressed their fervent congratulations.
Just as the crowd began to celebrate and Chen Mo and Yan Yingyue were being led toward a high platform in the hall, a person slowly moved to the front row.
Everyone was celebrating, and so people moved forward to get a better look, so nobody noticed this man’s unusual behavior.
At this point, Chen Mo and Yan Yingyue had followed Yue Yang onto the awards platform.
Yue Yang grinned and waved to the people nearby, signaling them to bring over the certificates and prize money.
Imdiately, two people brought over two red plates. Each red plate held eleven eternal gold coins and two certificates.
As they stepped forward, continuous applause erupted from the crowd, obviously congratulating Chen Mo and Yan Yingyue for making history. Even if they weren’t students from their own schools, it signified that China, Earth, and the Solar System had produced at least one more remarkable talent!
Just as everyone was eagerly watching Yue Yang present the awards, suddenly, the cheers, discussions, and all other miscellaneous noises ceased.
Chen Mo was shocked to perceive that, in an instant, everyone had frozen in place.
However, one person, contrary to the others, could still move. He drew a Longsword with incredible, blistering speed and slashed horizontally at Yan Yingyue.
Seeing the sword qi gathering, Chen Mo realized this person intended to kill him along with Yan Yingyue!
What’s going on!? Has everyone been ti-stopped?
Chen Mo was stunned for a mont but quickly understood.
Ti-stop was a rare ability, usually achieved through single-use items, and its duration was typically very short.
Chen Mo possessed the most advanced mythical-grade equipnt, and even that could only freeze ti for a re three seconds. Other single-use ti-stop items were considered quite good if they could freeze ti for one or two seconds.
One or two seconds might seem short, but for a master, it was more than enough ti to kill!
From the mont Chen Mo sensed the crowd’s stillness through his Precursor sense to the Alien assassin’s attack, not even a full second had passed. The sword qi unleashed by the enemy was already grazing Yan Yingyue’s face.
Given the Alien’s high Level, Yan Yingyue would undoubtedly die if hit!
As for Yan Yingyue’s life-saving abilities, Chen Mo suspected they would be useless. Since the attacker had so recklessly launched an assassination attempt within the Academy Alliance Headquarters, he must have considered all of Yan Yingyue’s life-preserving thods. He wouldn’t allow her to resurrect or mitigate the damage. There had to be so way to bypass them.
Seeing the critical danger, in the instant between his shock and his reaction, Chen Mo activated the Space-Ti Pearl!
This ti, the assassin was unexpectedly caught in Chen Mo’s counter-control.
But even though Chen Mo reacted quickly, the enemy’s sword qi was still about to strike Yan Yingyue’s neck. It was just a fraction away from hitting, demonstrating the opponent’s incredible speed.
Having successfully initiated his own ti-stop, Chen Mo chose not to act personally. Instead, he released the ti-stop affecting the nearby teachers.
Now, everyone saw the Alien suspended in mid-air, his unleashed sword qi about to strike Yan Yingyue.
Chen Mo didn’t release Yan Yingyue from the ti-stop, afraid it would scare her.
"Such audacity!" Although they had been plunged into a ti-stop just now, the teachers were not entirely ignorant.
The instant they entered the ti-stop, The Heavenly Path’s Hint would inform them. The mont the ti-stop ended, they would understand what they had just experienced.
Now, all the teachers knew, thanks to The Heavenly Path’s Hint, that they had just been subjected to a two-second ti-stop!
The Alien, anwhile, had exploited these two seconds of ti-stop to launch an attack, a sword qi slash aid directly at Yan Yingyue’s life.
Seeing this, Yue Yang was the first to react. A terrifying Dark Gold Spear, radiating a bloody aura, materialized in his hand and shot out like lightning.
HUM!
With a dull thud that resonated through the air, the sword qi Chen Mo had frozen mid-air was instantly dispelled by a single thrust!
The spear’s montum carried it forward, its fearso piercing power surging toward the Alien assassin with destructive force!
BOOM!
The spear was so fast it compressed the air, causing a series of dull explosions!
In the next instant, the Alien assassin’s head was directly pierced and obliterated by the spear!
Yue Yang was no ordinary individual; he was a fourth-transition powerhouse, significantly stronger than most of the third-transition teachers present.
The Alien who had just attacked was rely third-transition. It was entirely plausible for a third-transition professional to be instantly killed by a fourth-transition powerhouse’s full-strength attack aid at a vital spot, especially without any defensive asures.
Struck directly by the spear containing terrifying Energy, the Alien’s body instantly began to disintegrate and explode, starting from his head.
Only a thick, dark reddish-brown pool of blood remained on the ground.
He died without even knowing how it happened!
Only then did Chen Mo release everyone, including Yan Yingyue, from the ti-stop.
After a mont of bewildernt, everyone stared in shock at Yue Yang, who held the Dark Gold Spear, his face radiating killing intent.
"What... what just happened?"
"Look at that large pool of blood in front of Yan Yingyue! It looks like an Alien tried to assassinate her!"
"I don’t know, but we were definitely caught in a ti-stop."
"A ti-stop? But isn’t there an Anti-Ti Stop Formation in the Academy Alliance?"
"Constructing an Anti-Ti Stop Formation is very expensive, and the cost increases with its Level. Currently, the ones we can construct can only counter up to S-Level ti-stop abilities. If the opponent used an ability beyond S-Level, then it’s a different story!"
"HISS! Ti-stop abilities beyond S-Level are incredibly rare! Imagine how useful that would be against difficult targets in the Stars Dungeon! This Alien actually wasted it on an assassination here! Five-star professionals erge every year; can they kill them all? What an utter waste!"
While the crowd chattered, Yan Yingyue stood frozen, her face etched with lingering fear.
The potent sll of blood in front of her and the sight of the large pool of it overwheld her with nausea and made her heart pound.
As Chen Mo took her hand, Yan Yingyue unexpectedly felt a sense of security, and her discomfort gradually eased.
Although one assassin had been killed, the enemy had co dangerously close to succeeding. Yue Yang was still seething with fury!
Yue Yang knew Aliens might make a move, so he hadn’t let his guard down, even within the Academy Alliance Headquarters.
But he hadn’t expected the Aliens to be so utterly reckless!
To use an SS Level or higher ti-stop ability for an assassination!
A five-star professional whose true strength isn’t even clear yet... so what if she set a new dungeon record? Was it really worth this?
Yue Yang suspected these Aliens had been driven mad by the three consecutive occurrences of the sound of the great path!
However, more than the Aliens, he was now curious why the Alien assassin had been caught in a reverse ti-stop, and why he himself had been freed from it.
