nIn the mine.
nFu Hongming and Teacher An were discussing the Mystic Realm.
nLu Ming and Xia Yu thought about it and realized that their only option was to wait for the workers to reveal their true colors.
nThese people forged a false Mystic Realm and fooled everyone to the place. They were apparently thinking of getting the students to help them get what they wanted. Therefore, when it was time to get what they wanted, they would definitely show their true colors. By then, Lu Ming and Xia Yu would act to stop their ambush.
nAs long as they could hold them off until the two teachers realized that it was a trap, everything would be fine.
nThe only problem right now was…
nThe two of them alone were not enough.
n“I have a friend.” Lu Ming was reminded of a guy. “He is ugly, stupid and foolish, and there is something wrong with his brain. But his ability might be of some use to us.”
n“I also have a friend,” Xia Yu thought then continued, “He will believe my words.”
n“Very well,” Lu Ming agreed. “Let’s get ourselves prepared.”
nAfter speaking…
nThe two figures quietly blended into the students. They had to prepare themselves for the possible crisis. At the moment, those people were still talking about the Mystic Realm.
nPerhaps…
nIt was not that they were unaware of the minor problems, it was that they refused to admit them.
nAfter all… It was the Mystic Realm!
nEven if there was only one percent chance, they would not give up!
nIf the Mystic Realm was real, so what if it had other issues?
n“When will the school management arrive?” Fu Hongming scratched his head and asked. “It is very stuffy here.”
n“Three hours.”
nTeacher An looked at the time. According to the schedule, the school would send people to pick them up almost three hours later. They would realize that something had happened and would work to rescue them.
n“Oh.”
nFu Hongming seemed simple and honest. “I hope the school management will come as soon as possible to rescue all of us.”
nThis was the second time that he stressed about the school management.
nRight then…
nThose students also seem to realize something. “If the school management is here, does it mean that the Mystic Realm will have nothing to do with us?”
nWhoosh!
nEveryone came to their senses. They finally realized the problem.
nYes, that was right!
nIf they waited for the leaders to come, the Mystic Realm would have nothing to do with them.
nThese Mystic Realms would become a source of wealth for the school. It had nothing to do with the people who first discovered them or had been through disasters!
n“No, I am going to the Mystic Realm.”
n“Me too.”
n“Even if we cannot take the treasures there, at the very least, we could cultivate there.”
nThe students started to get noisy.
nThe two teachers stared at each other. They were tempted too.
nIt was full of treasures…
nThere was no way that they could take the treasures. Even if they took them away, it was impossible to distribute them! However, there was an abundance of energy there. Perhaps, everyone would improve by leaps!
nApart from the students, the teachers would benefit as well!
nPerhaps…
nIt was alright to take a look.
n“Bring us there.” Teacher An spoke to Fu Hongming.
n“I can’t.” Fu Hongming waved his hands in fear. “It’s v-very dangerous.”
n“Don’t worry.”
nTeacher An waved his hands. “Both of us are three-star cultivators, we are pretty strong. Moreover, we have a lot of students with us. We will be more careful.
nBesides, if it was Elder Lunar Shadow, there should not be any traps there,” An Mufeng concluded.
nHe had heard of the legend regarding Elder Lunar Shadow. He was kind and amiable.
n“Sure!”
nFu Hongming had no choice but to agree.
nTherefore, Fu Hongming led the big group toward the direction of the exploitation site.
nSure enough.
nLu Ming and Xia Yu looked at each other and followed the group.
nOn the way, they encountered a lot of obstacles. The falling stones and the potholes on the ground became barricades, blocking their way. Fortunately, the students had sufficient energy.
nSome of them smashed the stones while others moved the stones or fill up the holes…
nAlthough they only had low-level abilities, there were many of them. They was strength in numbers. This applied very well in their case. Some of them who did not have applicable abilities would move the rocks manually!
nBecause they were very clear of one thing—the sooner they reached the Mystic Realm, the longer they would be able to stay there!
nThey had to reach there before the school management got here!
nHence…
nThe students made a walking path among the rocks and stones. They even cleared all the debris of the two mine caves that were completely blocked by the falling stones.
n“Here it is.”
nFu Hongming brought the students to stop in front of a gigantic wall of rocks.
nThey could vaguely see something.
nThere seemed to be some lights in the wall of rocks.
n“That was…”
nThe students were excited.
nThe Mystic Realm!
nIt was highly possible that the Mystic Realm was behind the wall of rocks.
n“Let’s go!” The students roared.
nBang!
nThey directed all sorts of attacking abilities toward the wall of rocks.
nClick!
nThere was a crack in the stone wall. They could see more light through the crack. The students’ attack was effective.
nAlthough they did not have high-level attacking abilities, they had strength in numbers.
n“Effective.”
nThe two teachers were excited as well.
nIt turned out that the stone wall was not built with a strong defense ability.
nThis was similar to the boundaries which could only be destroyed when there was enough energy.
n“Boundaries?”
nLu Ming was deep in his thoughts.
nHe heard Teacher An’s words and finally understood why the three people did not go ahead to take whatever they wanted. It was because they did not have enough energy to break the stone wall!
nThey had insufficient energy!
nThis could only be done with the help of the large number of students!
nSince they were not powerful enough, they had to rely on numbers, particularly when it was an alarmingly high number of students.
nBang!
nThe students were still attacking wildly.
nSome people ran out of energy and took out their Energy Cards.
nClick!
nClick!
nVery soon.
nCracks gradually covered the walls.
nTraces of light seeped through from behind the stone wall. They were close to breaking the edge of the wall.
n“Come on!”
n“Soon!”
nThe students were excited.
nBang!
nOnce again they all worked together to attack.
nBoom!
nWith a loud noise, the stone wall shattered and there was a burst of light. Dazzling brilliance flashed and everything in front of them became clear. The legendary Mystic Realm…
nEveryone looked toward it with anticipation, but they were stunned.
nBehind the wall, under the radiance light was a shabby room!
n“How is it possible! How could the Mystic Realm be so small!”
n“No!”
n“This is not the Mystic Realm!”
nThe students refused to believe it.
nThe two teacher rested their gaze on the table placed in the middle of the chamber. There were a few strange items that were flashing with lights as well as a few cards.
nThose items seemed quaint and extraordinary.
nThose were…
nWhoosh!
nA shadow flashed.
nBefore they could see clearly, Fu Hongming and the two of them rushed into the chamber and took the things away.
nBuzz—
nA surge of energy floated through.
nAt the moment that they took those items, the solid chamber evaporated into energy and vanished.
nPerhaps, it should have become dust long ago, but it retained its original form due to the items. It turned into nothing since the items were taken away.
n“This is not an illusion!”
n“How dare you deceive us!”
nTeacher An was upset.
nHe did not expect that he would be set up by the few workers!
n“Surround them!”
nThe students were enraged as well.
n“Hehe.”
nFu Hongming smiled, taking a card from his pocket.
nTeleport Card!
nTeacher An’s countenance changed.
nIt was the legendary Teleport Card!
nLegend had it that a very powerful teleporting ability was sealed in this card, with the ability to teleport. It was a very precious card!
nAnd right now, Fu Hongming had one of those cards.
nDamn it!
nWho the hell were these guys? What cards did they get from the chamber? What was so important that they would use the Teleport Card at no cost!
nTeacher An knew that they were in big trouble.
n“Don’t worry.”
n“After I leave, I will be sure to repay you.”
nFu Hongming had an evil grin.
nThese fools were trapped in the mine. After he went out, he would get someone to throw something inside and they would definitely die. By the time the school sent help…
nThese people would already have died.
nThat was right.
nHow could these spoiled teachers from the vocational college be his match?
n“Activate the card.”
nFu Hongming passed the card to his younger sister.
n“Attack!”
nTeacher An gave a mad roar.
nThis mine was a dead land, if Fu Hongming escaped… they would definitely die! Therefore, they had to make him stay!
nBang!
nViolent winds sprang up.
nTeacher An gathered wind in his hands, turning them into sharp blades. He gathered all his energy as a three-star Elementalist. However, at this time, Fu Hongming had already stood at the forefront to block the attack.
nEnergy Shield!
nHe crossed his arms, the energy surging around him, and it formed an energy barrier.
nBang!
nThe blades of wind hit against it and formed a brittle sound.
nAll the attacks had been blocked.
nTeacher An launched a crazy attack on the three of them, but he only heard brittle jingling sounds.
nThey could not defeat them…
nNot at all!
nTeacher Wang worked with him to attack the three people. There was a slight crack on the Energy Shield. But it was impossible to break it in a short time.
n“Together!”
nThe students helped out as well.
nHowever, they had consumed a lot of energy when they destroyed the stone wall just now. They even used their Energy Cards and therefore they did not have much energy left.
nThe few scattered attacks were of no use at all.
nAt this very moment…
nFu Hongyan had already activated the card in her hands.
n“Done.”
nTeacher An felt a chill.
nBuzz—
nA crystal clear green nexus was generated at their feet. A circle of light flashed and it was filled up instantaneously. It was the radiance from the Teleport Card!
n“Goodbye.”
nFu Hongming was not the slightest bit worried about the solid Energy Shield.
nSo what if he was faced with two of the three-star cultivators?
nThose guys… would die here forever.
nNo one would know exactly what happened here.
nBuzz—
nThe green light was brighter.
nIt was just that… At that crucial moment, Chang Liang who had been maintaining the brightness for everyone roared loudly. There was a blinding shot of light from his eyes.
n“Flash!”
nAll of the people in front of Chang Liang could not see anything instantaneously.
nThere was a white mist everywhere!
nThey could not see a thing!
nThis was the moment!
nSwoosh!
nAn arrow composed entirely from energy broke through the air and fired toward Fu Hongyan.
nThis was Xia Yu’s first skill!
nFrostbolt!
nBuzz—
nThere was a low whisper.
nAt the same time, Fu Hongming was shrouded by light. This was Zhang Xiaopang’s illusion!
nHe and Xia Yu directed their abilities toward Fu Hongyan at the same time, aiming to attack her on the spiritual level and on the physical level!
n“Ugh!”
nFu Hongyan faltered.
nThe teleportation light was about to be completed, but it was stalled slightly. She recovered very quickly and continued to direct energy into the card.
nHowever, this single moment was enough.
nThere seemed to be something rushing out from the white mist.
n“Something is coming this way!”
nFu Hongming was on alert.
nHe could not see anything, however… He could sense through his energy that it seemed to be a raging fierce bull that was formed by energy. It seemed to be Brutal Charge? And to his surprise, the direction of the attack seemed to be…
nTowards the front!!!
nWhere the energy barrier was!
nWhy would they attack from the front??
nOne must know that the combined energies of An Mufeng and the other teacher were unable to break the Energy Shield. How was it possible that the Brutal Charge would be able to destroy their Energy Shield?
nIt was ridiculous!
nWho gave him such confidence?
nRight then…
nBang!
nThere was a loud noise.
nThe rampaging fierce bulls seemed to have knocked into his Energy Shield. He could feel a huge impact from the attack.
nFu Hongming’s countenance changed.
nThe force…
nOh no!
nIt was not one raging fierce bull!
nThis was definitely more than one ability!
nFu Hongming could feel that there was a herd of raging fierce bulls charging toward him. There was a monstrous force coming from his hands. Its strength was beyond imagination!
n“Come and help!”
nHe felt that his hands were trembling. There was a sudden roar.
n“It’s coming!”
nHis companions helped him to resist it.
nThe three people worked together to withstand the huge impact!
nAlthough Fu Hongming was overwhelmed by the huge impact, he knew that attack of this level was not able to hurt them.
nAlmost there!
nHe calculated the time of the Teleportation Nexus.
nDone!
nBang!
nThere was a loud bang. The Energy Shield was still intact.
nAt that moment.
nThe familiar Teleportation Nexus gave off a brilliant light – all the rampaging bulls and surging energy had disappeared! The world was thrown into total silence.
nThe teleportation was a success!
nFu Hongming was not surprised at all.
nThe white mist in front of him disappeared gradually. They could finally see clearly.
nAfterwards…
nFu Hongming raised his head and his eyes turned blank.
n???
nHe widened his eyes to look at the surroundings. He was in a daze.
nThe two people next to him were equally dazed. They looked at their boss and the surroundings. They could not recover themselves for a long while.
nThis…
nHow could that be possible?!
nThey were still in the mine!!!
n“What is happening?”
nFu Hongming’s mouth felt dry.
nThe Teleport Card was very precious. They only had one card. They specially bought the card for this task. How could they fail!
nWhy would they fail?
nHow was it possible that the other party could stop the teleportation?
nNo, he could already feel the rush of energy from the success of the teleportation!
nIt was obviously…
nWait a minute!
nFu Hongming looked at the ground and his face dropped.
nThey were a few long marks on the ground!
nThe bulls had left them.
nThis was…
nJust now, when a herd of rampaging bulls came charging at them, he put in his best efforts to resist them and withstand the strong impact of the bulls. He thought that he had blocked them!
nBut now it seemed that although he had blocked them, he was forced to retreat by one meter!
nYes.
nIt was one meter away!
nAlthough the Teleportation Nexus was being activated, they were not being taken away!
n“Success!”
nLu Ming was thrilled.
nThey had waited half an hour for this moment!
nThe function of Brutal Charge was to form a raging fierce bull and to create an impact to the enemy. What about “Rampaging Bulls Encirclement” that would release seven bulls at one go?
nNo doubt, it would greatly impact the enemy!
nThe force of it would cause the enemy to lose focus.
nAfter all, the raging fierce bulls were formed from energy, they were not real bulls. Therefore, when the energy hit the enemy, the energy would surge around, causing the body to lose control.
nHowever…
nFu Hongming’s Energy Shield was too strong!
nIt had blocked all the charges and energies!
nIn the end, Lu Ming activated ten cards and the seventy bulls formed a large herd of rampaging bulls and all the impact was directed at the Energy Shield!
nThe strong impact caused the three of them, together with the Energy Shield to be pushed backwards!
nThe effect was amazing!
n
