Chapter 395 - 191: Establishing Authority_1
"Who’s that?"
The sound of boots trampling on dead leaves was as crisp as crunching potato chips, impossible to ignore.
A ’Red-mouthed frog’ with an unusually large mouth hopped onto a robust tree trunk, poised to pounce.
On the ground, a ’Large Horned Rhino,’ alert, lowered its head, ready to charge at any moment.
"Crack... crack..."
Joe and Pete finally saw clearly, there was only one person in front of them.
But unlike their academy mates dressed in school uniforms, this person wore icy blue light armor. The blue frog emblem on his chest seemed to be laced with gold dust, sparkling brilliantly under the refracted light.
"A royal elite??"
Coming to their senses, Joe and Pete exchanged a glance and started to flee.
They jumped onto the back of the Large Horned Rhino, called the Red-mouthed Frog to follow, and then ran off in a panic.
Royal elites...even with just a thought, they were on the level of the Ten Emeralds and the Ten Great Heavenly Proud Sons!
They were just core members of the Yan Weilou. Their Contracted Spirit Fond Spirits were only at Rainbow Light Perfection and even if they combined their powers, they still didn’t have the confidence to fight back!
"Whoosh——"
The Sandstorm Witch appeared with a flicker of yellow light.
With a glance, she locked onto the two men and two beasts fleeing. A gust of wind blew and her figure flickered several times. Despite setting off after them, she arrived first, pressuring them from behind the Large Horned Rhino.
"Bang!"
The Hurricane Sand Hammer, a regular attack.
The hit unbalanced the Big Rhino, causing it to stumble and roll over in the woods.
As it struggled to rise, it was met with a second blow.
"Damn it, this is a Big Rhino, a wild beast! Thick-skinned and meaty, how come it can’t withstand even three strikes?"
The Patron on its back, without a doubt, was a ’Knight’.
He had suffered minor injuries from the sharp plants but what truly unnerved him was the unstoppable Sandstorm Witch.
"Puff!"
The knight’s companion quickly threw a recently harvested Blazing Mushroom. The Red-mouthed Frog swallowed it in a single bite, its body glowing red and a wisp of flame spewing from its eyes.
When it launched its ’Tongue Bullet’ skill, the Sandstorm Witch sidestepped in a blink of an eye and hammered it into the mud with one strike, critically wounding it.
"No good, the gap is too big. Even with enhanced combat power, we’re still far from matching her reaction time..."
Both of them turned as pale as a sheet. After a three-second mental struggle, they activated their Escape Talisman in unison.
"Whoosh——"
A bronze light spread from their palms, covering their entire bodies.
The contracted Spirit Fond Spirits beside them also encased in the thick protective shield, unable to move as if they were imprisoned.
"Huazhu, stand down."
Ye Hanjun softly spoke, and the Sandstorm Witch returned to his side.
He watched for a while, determined through his perception that the strength of the barrier wasn’t indestructible. If Huazhu were to detonate the Hurricane Sand Hammer with full force, there was a good chance it would leave countless cracks.
However... there was no need to do so.
Without waiting for the mentor to arrive, Ye Hanjun bypassed the two men and continued walking north.
...
He swept through the wild Spirit Fond Spirits and tried his best to avoid the observation of the projection flowers.
After half a day of travel, Ye Hanjun didn’t see another person.
The restrictions against the royal elites were as expected. Although not a big problem, they caused a constant series of minor annoyances.
By this time, the majority of the students should have regrouped, either holding up inside the fortresses or launching attacks on the other fortresses, right?
Thinking, Ye Hanjun circled around a molten swamp.
In this round of competition, to win, eliminating the other students one by one was not enough.
In the central area of the battlefield, there were five mini fortresses, each belonging to one of the academies.
Once a fortress was invaded and occupied by another academy, the invading academy would score significant points.
When the competition ended, the rankings of the five academies were determined by the total number of these points.
To ensure the lead of Canghai Pavilion over Forest Park, they’d have to travel overnight, giving up some sleep...
...
Outside, the excitement hadn’t diminished.
The red rocky ground was filled with blooming projection flowers.
Using the abilities of these Spirit Fond Spirits, the underground battles could be captured with a seventy percent success rate.
The audience saw that more than half of the participants of each academy - Canghai Pavilion, Yan Weilou, Tianyafu Residence, Forest Park, Beacon Tower - had congregated at their respective fortresses.
Then, the moment that sparked the whole field occurred, over ten people suddenly emerged from the green fortress, brandishing wooden swords and other weapons, ready to fight.
"Wow~"
With a flash of light, a mountain goat - its shoulders merely three meters high but with an unusually wide back - let out a low roar.
A rugged man with a full beard on his face, laughed heartily, skillfully jumped onto the goat’s back and hugged its neck.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh——"
The young faces beside him didn’t summon their Contracted Spirit Fond Spirits.
They imitated the first man, jumping onto the goat’s back, forming two orderly rows, steadily grabbing onto the goat’s fur.
"Let’s get going!"
The man shouted mightily, determination sweeping over him.
With a burst of green light wrapping around the goat’s limbs, the goat roared, kicking and running.
The Savage Spirit - Wild Running Barbarian Sheep!
Rank - Rainbow Light Perfection!
"It’s Sun Xiu! The Seventh Emerald of Forest Park!"
"Look carefully, there are 12 people on the back of the Barbarian Sheep. The Tenth Emerald, Mu Fei! Ninth Emerald, Gan Xinyi! Fifth Emerald, Lilith! Third Emerald, Gou Mei! Even the First Emerald, Zhong Yi, is present!!"
"My God! What are they trying to do! Six Emeralds united! How many defenses are left in their fortress? It feels like a complete abandonment of defenses!!"
