# Chapter 2227: They All Unanimously Ignored Him

The several players who had just boarded the train all had very high evolution rates, likely enough to qualify as A-level players. The train couldn't be ridden casually—if an A-level player wanted to ride a B-level train, they had to hold a B-level ticket. For high-level players to use low-level tickets, they had to consume one of their two annual opportunities to enter low-level instances. Players generally used these as buffers for clearing instances, making them quite valuable. These people had truly paid a heavy price.

"We're only killing Mental Evolvers. Everyone else, get out of the way, and we'll leave the antidote behind!" the leading player shouted, then swept past the tattoo-headed man and several others, chasing after Yong An.

The nearby players either didn't want to get involved or were busy taking antidotes, so no one interfered. The group quickly caught up to Yong An.

The player called Yong An kept retreating, outnumbered and only able to take a beating. Somewhat frantically, he shouted, "I've never been to the B37 wormhole point, nor have I offended any player families! Chasing me is useless! And why are you only chasing me? I'm not the only Mental Evolver here!"

This remark reminded the group. The female player said, "There should be two of them. Where's the other one?"

Her companions seemed to snap back to reality as they abruptly turned around:

In the first carriage, Xu Huo stood there as if nothing was wrong. It seemed he had maintained that posture from the very beginning, but for some reason, everyone else had unanimously ignored him...

"What kind of trait is this!" the leading player frowned and immediately split half of his group to turn back.

To avoid interference from other players, they had closed and sealed the doors of carriages 2, 3, 4, and 5 with props after passing through.

Three A-level players returned to carriage 1.

A series of prop attacks were blocked by the "Space Sphere." But when the front door of carriage 2 closed, both "Harmonious Atmosphere" and "Dimensional Fog" took effect simultaneously. The three A-level players, the tattoo-headed man, and others found all their props unusable. Some props worn on their bodies also failed to activate due to the forced isolation of the space barrier.

Realizing it was a prop restriction, the A-level female player sneered, "Let's see how long you can hold out!"

Between A-level and B-level, the former naturally had the advantage in physical ability. So even without props or traits, these A-level players believed they had enough advantage. Even if they couldn't kill Xu Huo, lasting until the prop time limit expired was entirely feasible.

Spiritual power instantly spread through the carriage. The A-level female player rushed toward Xu Huo at incredible speed while saying, "Hunting a Mental Evolver—how could we not bring interference tools!"

"Harmonious Atmosphere" couldn't guard against passively activated props—such as those that automatically triggered in dangerous situations. The same applied to instruments. It only prevented players from touching props and couldn't cut off already activated props and instruments. The group had come prepared. When the instruments activated, a layer of surging air waves formed around each of them, comprehensively defending against spiritual power.

"Boom!" The female player's fist slammed into the space barrier Xu Huo had raised. The moment it intercepted her, the space power rapidly transformed into blades that shot outward, forcing back all three A-level players, including her.

An automatically deployed defense barrier blocked this space power attack. The three only retreated one step before, protected by their defense barriers, charging at Xu Huo again. The carriage was narrow, and they had sealed the carriage doors, not only blocking the tattoo-headed man and others who tried to help but also cornering Xu Huo against the carriage wall!

Clearly, they were very confident in their physical abilities. Xu Huo couldn't break through the window either, so he could only barely defend himself like the other Mental Evolver... But this pleasant assumption quickly vanished. Sensing the fluctuation of space power in the air, the female player hastily withdrew and warned her two companions to retreat. But before the words left her mouth, two forces exploded within the carriage. Though not enough to break through their defense barriers, it was sufficient to create distance.

In that instant, Xu Huo, who had been at a disadvantage, turned the tables. He instantly moved in front of the female player and, tit for tat, delivered a heavy punch to her face!

"Boom!" Along with the sound of the carriage door shattering, the female player flew entirely into carriage 2. The moment she steadied herself, Xu Huo, who had teleported through space power, continuously attacked her defense barrier with Space Ray Blades. Finally, when the barrier shattered, he kicked her in the abdomen, sending her back to carriage 1.

With just one layer of defense barrier, the female player wasn't injured. Her two companions caught her, and she quickly adjusted her position to coordinate with them in attacking again.

This time, the primary attacker was more skilled in close combat, with very fast striking speed. Although Xu Huo could move quickly through space power, the train's narrow space made it difficult to maneuver. After dodging several times, he mobilized his Materialized Object to forcibly break through the opponent's defense barrier.

The effect wasn't good. The disrupted Materialized Object could barely maintain its form when approaching the barrier, only managing to leave a crack in the first layer. Only after continuous attacks with Space Blades did it finally break through, but it still didn't achieve the effect Xu Huo wanted.

B and A-level defense barriers were indeed not easy to breach. Both space power and spiritual power fell short, unable to reach the level of equivalent props and instruments.

Of course, this was already quite impressive.

Half the time for "Harmonious Atmosphere" had passed. Xu Huo stopped wasting time and took out the "Cube Space." While enhancing the attack power of his space power, he also assimilated the opponent's space defense barrier—most full-body protective props were space props. The interior of "Cube Space" had chaotic space rays that could quickly merge with other space rays. This not only improved the wielder's control over space rays but also, to some extent, assimilated the space rays released by others' props and instruments, achieving the goal of destroying prop effects by mastering space rays.

The prop itself couldn't be directly destroyed, but the barrier released by the prop, after multiple attacks and partial assimilation of its rays, wasn't entirely impossible to manipulate.

Just before the opponent's defense barrier completely broke, Xu Huo inserted a concentration of spiritual power, aiming to destroy the spiritual interference instrument. Unfortunately, the effect wasn't as good as expected. Even with his spiritual power multiplied several times, it wasn't enough to overload the interference instrument.

At this point, the moment "Harmonious Atmosphere" expired, he filled the carriage with Tangents while incorporating both carriages into his own Materializable Space. Whether it worked or not, he'd take a swing... Dense, hard-to-avoid Tangents, combined with ubiquitous Materialized Objects and space power, caught the player closest to Xu Huo off guard. The Tangents and Materialized Objects broke through five layers of his defense barriers, severing one of his arms. Then, a Space Ray Blade pierced his neck, pinning him to the already damaged carriage door.
