Chapter 318: He is Here
Its best you get that student of yours to control his terrible temper or hes going to suffer for it, Lei Zhongyuan sneered at Akting.
Akting didnt speak. He wondered how the person Lei Zhongyuan mentioned would arrive; it was a precarious situation. It wasnt just Fortress One that was in danger, but the other fortresses as well. Hed received news that the train heading for Fortress One had been reassigned to other fortresses instead; they hadnt received any trains over the past few days.
Lei Zhongyuan obviously knew what he was thinking about, smirking to himself. While its true I couldnt beat you in the past, do you really think my students cant beat yours?
Five kilometers away from Fortress One, Xiang Ning looked at the news on his communication device, his brows slightly furrowed. Li Zihaos teammate, who was driving, almost had a heart attack. He had just confidently sworn that this marsh wouldnt be a problem when a beast suddenly shot out and almost sank their truck in the mud.
One must know that the marsh wasnt small. With the trucks weight, it wouldnt be able to get out if it sank. They got out alive only because Liu Yi, whod been on high alert, had gunned it down with armor-piercing bullets. Although it was a beast, he instinctively looked at the rear-view mirror. When he saw that Xiang Ning had no reaction, he privately heaved a sigh of relief. However, after traveling a hundred meters farther, his heart skipped a beat when he saw Xiang Nings brows tightly furrowed.
Xiang Xiang Ning
He wanted to say something, but Xiang Ning interrupted, Uh, Im sorry but could you drive faster? Just drive straight ahead here. Dont worry, Ill make up all the points from the beasts we missed using points from my mission.
No, no. Are you in a hurry? The points arent worth much anyway, lets step on it! Li Zihao immediately snapped, slapping his chest. He was completely subordinate to Xiang Ning now. He had no choice; although he was one of the best of his generation, Xiang Ning was so far ahead of them. Sometimes they even felt like they were mere mortals and Xiang Ning must be the true Chosen One. How could there be such a large difference?
However, power alone wasnt enough to tame these prodigies. Young people didnt admit defeat so easily. What had instead won them over was Xiang Nings attitude. They had been so selfish when they encountered the Grimclaw, as well as before. After all, although theirs was a high-point mission, there was a gap between them and the top-ranked teams. Naturally, they wanted to collect every point they could for themselves. Yet Xiang Ning hadnt said a wordthey felt incredibly guilty! They had initially thought the journey would be difficult not because of the mission, but because of Xiang Ning.
But afterward, as long as they could quickly defeat the beasts, he would let them have them. He never mocked them like the first time. No, Li Zihao felt like they had made a mistake. Xiang Ning had never even taken their actions to heart. He even gave them a few pointers, and slowly, they willingly became his lackeys.
Seeing as the armored truck was picking up speed, Xiang Ning patted Liu Yi, who was standing at the gun port. Liu Yi, get some rest. Let me do it.
Alright, Brother Xiang. Liu Yi was indeed tired after standing for such a long time. But why did Xiang Ning take out the Devourer? Also what was this pressure that he was feeling? Why did he feel chills?
He looked at the rest, who had the same reaction. He then recalled a legend about Xiang Nings ability to force back thousands of beasts alone. Most people said it was nonsensehow could a person be so powerful? Only tier seven masters could do that. And what tier was Xiang Ning at the time? With deliberate misguidance from the authorities, the matter became nothing more than a legend.
Of course, there were still many who had unwavering confidence in the story.
The Devourer was a bioweapon made of the beast core from a Kaiser Aurumsaur. In a subsequent battle, it had swallowed the Octoviolet Silversnakes beast core, causing its dark, golden blade to turn a silvery white with faint purple lines that glowed during battle. The beast core in the weapon had been replaced, so Xiang Ning temporarily couldnt disguise himself with the Kaiser Aurumsaurs aura.
But now it had swallowed a Grimclaws beast core. At this point, it was sharp enough to cut through a tier five beast.
Disguise mode activated. Selecting Disguise target. Target acquired. Tyrant of the Forest, Grimclaw. Disguise successful.
Sovereign's Throne activated!
Boom!
A surge of power radiated from Xiang Ning. Every Beast Soldier bowed their heads in fear, while Beast Generals didnt dare move. Some tier one beasts even lost control of their bladder.
Xiang Nings aura could be felt three kilometers away at a stream at the foot of a small hill. The tier four, eight-star Demonpede, as well as the tier four, two-star Crimson Fangs and Slaughter Python all showed signs of fear. The battle suddenly halted as the beasts stopped moving. Wu Rui wanted to take this opportunity to attack the Demonpede, but its poison had started its work. If it werent for the forced suppression of its effects using the Wu family breathing technique, he would have collapsed a long time ago.
It was the same with Charotis.
What is going on? asked a Karan tribesman when a flock of birds flew not far away.
They knew what this meant. Although they were martial artists, they were still aware of various signs in the wilderness. If a flock of birds suddenly took off and the beasts displayed odd behavior, it meant only one thing: an even more powerful beast had appeared.
How powerful? If even the powerful Demonpede had stopped its attack, it meant the new arrival was more powerful than the Demonpede.
Dammit, are you telling me theres a tier six beast coming?!
Contact the fortress, quickly! Wheres Instructor Akting?!
The group was in chaos, but there was one person who remained calm: Fang Rou. She was all too familiar with this aura; no one knew it better than her. During her most helpless moment, that same aura had appeared like a hero in a fairytale, pushing back thousands of beasts. She would never forget the magnificence of that scene in this lifetime.
Rou, whats the matter?
Rou, come back quick. Its dangerous there.
Li Zimo and the rest grew anxious from Fang Rous odd reaction. Then the Demonpede entered an attack stancenot toward Fang Rou, but the forest next to them. There was the sound of a motor, and it was getting louder!
