"What is the second plan?" Carly asked.

Ling Feng took a deep breath, "To leave this island and find the mainland from the sea!"

"This plan is a bit risky!" Carly frowned and said, "We don't have a navigation chart, nor do we know where exactly this island is. More importantly, the dangers at sea are numerous, with countless monsters of the Azure Sky Realm strength. Do we really have the confidence to cross the sea?"

Ling Feng said frankly, "Of course not, but... I'm not someone who sits and waits for death. Staying on this island, do we have any other options besides waiting for death? As the saying goes, 'life from a desperate situation,' we are already on a dead end, so why not take a chance?"

There was still hesitation on Carly's face; Ling Feng's second plan was simply too shocking. Not only them, even experts at the Later Stage of the Firmament Realm wouldn't dare easily venture deep into the sea!

Just as Carly was hesitating, they heard Ling Yun's shout from outside, "Big brother, come quickly, the island has stopped sinking!"

Ling Feng and Carly exchanged a glance, then rushed out of the cave. Indeed, as Ling Yun said, the island had stopped sinking, and those gigantic sea monsters also stopped, surrounding the small island!

"It feels to me like they want to surround us!" Ling Feng looked around and then said in a deep voice, "There must be something fishy here, everyone must be careful!"

Just as Ling Feng's voice fell, a massive teleportation array suddenly appeared in the sky, illuminating the entire island!

"Big brother, you're amazing!" Ling Yun looked at the massive teleportation array, swallowed, and said, "How did you know this would happen?"

Ling Feng's mouth twitched. How could he possibly have known in advance? But the next moment, Ling Feng felt over a hundred strong auras!

His face changed, "Let's quickly conceal our aura. Trouble... has arrived!"

At this time, Ling Feng recalled the task, "Protect Carly for five days."

When Ling Feng learned of Carly's identity, he thought the task was already completed since there was no one else left on the island. But unexpectedly... the task had just begun; the previous two days were just a warm-up!

From the teleportation array, hundreds of beams of light shot down. Moments later, the teleportation array disappeared, and a group of young experts in the Late Divine Sea Realm appeared on the island.

"Damn, our task is on such a trash island? The place is filled with a nauseating vibe!"

"There are indeed many competitors this time, but no matter how many people there are, I, Chen Xu, will still get the first prize. I will definitely kill the target and become number one!"

"However, it's said that this time, the task involves a guardian who's a super strong fighter. I actually want to spar with this so-called super strong fighter and see how powerful he really is!"

...

These people were also participants in the princess's groom selection, and like Ling Feng, they were all elite who had passed through the Element Tower!

Looking at the over a hundred auras not weaker than his own, Ling Feng was drenched in cold sweat. These people's target should be Carly and himself, but there were only three of them, how could they possibly handle so many Late Divine Sea Realm experts?

And among the crowd, Ling Feng surprisingly felt a familiar aura—young master Hengyu!

Earlier, Ling Feng had witnessed the battle between the Martial Madman and Yun Hengyu. He was deeply impressed by that battle. Honestly speaking, Ling Feng still had a certain gap in strength compared to Yun Hengyu. If it weren't a life-and-death battle, Ling Feng might not really be able to deal with him!

"This is troublesome!" Ling Feng muttered to himself.

Carly's eyebrow raised, "These people should be here for me, right? The Royal Court sure invested a lot, sending over a hundred young experts just to deal with me."

Ling Feng felt a pang of hurt, being so blatantly ignored like that. Didn't his mission also involve protecting her?

"Big brother, what do we do now?" Ling Yun asked softly from the side.

Hundreds of Late Divine Sea Realm young experts were scattered on such a small island. If a battle broke out, almost everyone would be aware instantly!

This was what gave Ling Feng the biggest headache! After all, they were outnumbered, and attempting to conduct small-scale surprise attacks would be difficult to execute due to the terrain!

Seeing Ling Feng frowning, Carly said irritably, "What are you worried about? No matter how strong they are, they're just at the Late Divine Sea Realm, while I've already stepped into the Azure Sky Realm. Is it not enough for me to deal with them?"

Ling Feng rolled his eyes and said, "That's right, under normal circumstances, there is a huge gap between the Azure Sky Realm and the Divine Sea Realm. Experts of the Azure Sky Realm have a crushing advantage over those of the Divine Sea Realm!"

"But don't forget, that's in ordinary situations, and now we are facing the most elite in the Abyss Realm. Their battle prowess is much stronger than ordinary Late Divine Sea Realm experts. Some of them can even fight across levels, and when their battle prowess is fully unleashed, they are not inferior to general Early Stage Azure Sky Realm experts!"

"How could that be?" Carly found it hard to believe. After all, she was previously just a researcher. Although she had implanted the Ghost-faced Devil Bug in her body, she was not a combatant, and her understanding of combat naturally remained at the realm theory!

In reality, experienced warriors know that while realm is important, unless there's a huge power disparity, battle experience and explosive power are the determining factors in a fight!

Not to mention, Ling Feng had once held his ground against quite a few Early Stage Azure Sky Realm experts. You should know, Ling Feng was only at the Mid Divine Sea Realm. Although he had the Thousand Dragon Seal and Mo Yu Sword's bonuses, it was still quite shocking!

"Let's first hide our forms and then plan long term!" Ling Feng said solemnly.

"What's there to consider? We don't have much time!" Carly's eyes flashed with killing intent, "Even if I die, I'd take a few down with me!"

"Die what die!" Ling Feng said irritably, "As long as I'm alive, I won't let you die! Moreover, unless absolutely necessary, don't act blindly. We're in the darkness; they're in the light. The situation is in our favor!"

"Once we easily expose ourselves, we lose the advantage of being in the dark!" Ling Feng said heavily, "Unless you've already broken through to the Mid Sky Realm, otherwise, we have no chance of winning if they surround us!"
