Chapter 960: Commander
“That’s right. We’re all from Planet Blue Ray and should help each other out!” Huang Tianba looked straightforwardly at Fang Yuan.
Marianne and the others had the same expression, as if they had silently agreed with one another. He shook his head. He knew that they had never heard about the incident in Flying Rainbow High.
Obviously, Ling Fei’er would not share this story with them either.
“Junior?” Beatrice looked contemplatively at Fang Yuan.
“According to the rescue guidelines, we’ve already done everything we had to. Also, we have other matters to attend to!” Fang Yuan spread both hands. “I’m sorry, there’s nothing I can help you with!”
“Ah… that’s understandable. We’ve already lost two people even though we’re all from Planet Blue Ray. Now, Ling Fei’er is gone too. We can only accept it…”
Li He’s eyes seemed a little blood-shot.
He could tell that this group from East Dragon University squad was led by Wu Sanhuai and Beatrice. Lin Meng was nothing more than a first-year, so he did not have much say in this.
“That’s right, Junior. Let’s get going. We have to go to Moon Jaw Lake!” Wu Sanhuai laughed.
“Moon Jaw Lake?” Huang Tianba gasped. “Hold on… you’re heading in deeper? But a star beast tide is running loose!”
Beatrice interrupted cheerfully, “I’m sorry, we have our own plans!”
Li He thought for a while before suggesting, “Sorry, but could we tag along?”
“Wha-?”
Before the fatso Huang Tianba could finish his words, Marianne muffled him with her hand. She said softly, “Are you dumb? The forest is so dangerous now. If we meet any star beasts, we’d be in deep trouble. Our only hope is to follow this high-level squad! Also, the star beast tide traveled from the inside to the outside. After the first wave, heading inside would be safer!”
“Haha, we don’t take deadweight!” Wu Sanhuai smirked coldly and immediately turned to leave, moving like the wind.
Beatrice, Sun Mengmeng, and the others followed.
“Follow them!”
Li He seemed to understand the gravity of the matter. Even if it was shameless, it was better than dying, so he shamelessly followed them.
…
Moon Jaw Lake was a deep landmark within the Wasteland.
Using a satellite cloud map, he saw that it was a huge lake that extended for hundreds of kilometers. With several curves along the way, it looked like a crescent moon.
Once they reached it, they would be deep in the Wasteland, where it was much more dangerous than before.
However, there were fewer star beasts along the way after avoiding the first wave of star beasts.
Wu Sanhuai and Beatrice did not let Fang Yuan and the others kill the star beasts along the way either, in case they alerted other groups nearby.
“We’re here. Moon Jaw Lake is right ahead!” Wu Sanhuai was slightly emotional.
“We’re… finally here…” Beatrice’s voice made it sound like she was finally at ease, surprising Fang Yuan a little.
“Is this Moon Jaw Lake?” Huang Tianba widened his eyes, staring at the pristine surface of the lake. For a long time, he could not say anything. “If it weren’t for Sir Wu Sanhuai leading the way, there’s no way we could have made it here!”
“Set up the campsite. We’ll explore the area tomorrow!”
Wu Sanhuai pulled out a ball. It floated into the sky and exploded.
A layer of light spread out and covered the entire campsite. Looking in from the outside, all traces of human activity had disappeared without a trace.
“Mechanical talisman, Mirage Magical Power?”
Seeing this, Li He’s eyes widened. “I can’t believe you used such a precious talisman! Looks like your mission must be important. If there’s anything you need, go ahead and tell us!”
“A mechanical talisman… In the past, they used paper or jade to create talismans. However, modern cultivation methods use integrated electronic modules as the foundation. This allowed the mass production of talismans, surmounting ancient cultivation’s restraints. As long as low-level cultivators input sufficient spiritual power, they can complete the final step. It’s stronger than ancient cultivation’s talismans too. This magical power isn’t any weaker than a high-level cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage!”
Fang Yuan’s eyes lit up seeing this. He knew that Wu Sanhuai had an important mission. And now, he pulled out the good stuff.
“What kind of secrets is that star beast king hiding?”
When it was late at night, after they had their meal, he rejected Huang Tianba and Marianne’s invitation and returned to his tent.
However, he snuck out in the middle of the night.
“It seems like both Wu Sanhuai and Beatrice are hiding some secrets…”
Fang Yuan floated into the sky and went to Moon Jaw Lake. He glanced at his stats window.
“Name: Fang Yuan (Lin Meng)
Profession: Dream Master, East Dragon University Student
Cultivation: Mystic (Level 9), Arcanist (Level 1)
Techniques: Flame Control Technique, Breath Holding Dao Art, Featherweight Body Spell, Hundred Flying Swords Proficiency
Skills: Alchemy (Advanced)
Power Recovered: 49.33%!”
…
“Within this period of time, I haven’t absorbed too much spiritual energy and avoided causing an energy tide, but my cultivation speed has still increased far beyond that of in school, gaining at least a level every day. Now that I’m close to spiritual power solidifying, I’m only one step away from forming my Golden Core!”
Fang Yuan let out a long sigh. “I’ve recovered nearly half of my Demon God strength. That’s enough to do many things!
“Of course, before this…”
He breathed gently, and the surrounding energy particles poured into his body.
The magnetic field within a hundred kilometers began to fluctuate. However, after the first lesson, Fang Yuan had slowed down his absorption. After all, he did not want to trigger another energy tide, but the spiritual energy nearby still became a lot thinner.
Within his dantian, the half-solid spiritual power was turbulent. He compressed it continuously until it turned into a translucent Golden Core.
“Level six Mystic, spiritual power liquefying, is Foundation Establishment. Level ten Mystic, spiritual power solidifying, is condensing a Golden Core…”
At this moment, Fang Yuan walked out. He was undoubtedly a genuine Golden Core Mystic. In terms of ancient and current cultivation, he held a lofty status.
“Of course… I don’t have a magical weapon nor dao arts to use with this level. My foundation is so weak that I have nearly nothing. This was almost entirely thanks to my Demon God power…”
After completing his cultivation, Fang Yuan used his spiritual will, extending it continuously.
Fifty kilometers, one hundred kilometers…
Finally, a few ripples caught his attention. “There are several high-level cultivators closing in rapidly. Their target is our campsite? Is it Wu Sanhuai’s back-up? No… they’re cultivators at level ten and above. Even if Wu Sanhuai could bring them here, there’s no way they’re under Wu Sanhuai’s command. This means… it’s the power behind Beatrice? Interesting!”
All of a sudden, in the middle of the sky, he sensed a stronger aura. “So strong! It’s definitely at level fifteen and above. But it does seem a little weak, and it seems like a wild beast. It must be that star beast king… I can’t believe it’s really near Moon Jaw Lake. Wu Sanhuai has some good luck!”
Fang Yuan thought about it a little. Instead of alarming the star beast king, he traced the path to the lake and ascertained its hideout. With that, he leisurely returned to the campsite, pretending that nothing had happened.
After an hour, Beatrice snuck out from her tent, diving into the darkness.
She walked in the direction of Moon Jaw Lake and arrived at a glowing spot by the lake. “Commander! Sirs!”
“Beatrice, you’ve done well to lure Wu Sanhuai and the others here!”
The commander turned around. He had an overwhelming presence. He was an expert that was not any weaker than Wu Wudi, a level fourteen Mystic, and one step away from cracking the core to achieve the Nascent Soul!
“It is part of my duty, Sir!”
Other than the commander, the other two were also at the Golden Core stage. Beatrice did not even dare to breathe.
“How is it? Do you know Wu Wudi’s objective?”
“No, he’s tight-lipped, constantly on his guard. He only mentioned that he was going to find the whereabouts of the star beast king…” Beatrice replied hesitantly.
A Golden Core cultivator responded immediately. “Looks like we have to make our move. We’ll take all of them to interrogate!”
“Okay. We’ll execute this at once!”
The commander walked to the campsite and extended his right hand gently. His long sleeve flapped in the wind, enlarging to envelope everything in the area like a pocket.
Rumble!
The Mirage Magical Array broke instantly. Lu Qiming, Paine, Li He, Huang Tianba, and the others passed out even before they could escape their tents.
“How dare you!”
Only Wu Sanhuai emerged from his tent with a flash. He dashed out while dodging the area the large sleeve was covering. “Grand Sleeve Space-Void Magical Power? Impossible, you can’t be a Nascent Soul cultivator! If you were, my cousin’s talisman would be useless. With only cultivation at Golden Core perfection, you can use a magical power. You’re obviously not someone unknown. Who are you?”
“I am Red Tarantula’s great commander! You don’t have to use Wu Wudi to threaten me! I’ve exchanged blows with him before. We’re evenly matched!”
The great commander spoke easily unafraid of exposure. Evidently, he knew that everything was under control. “You can’t escape. If you know what’s good for you, tell me why Wu Wudi is after the star beast king! Maybe, I’ll let you live then!”
“Dream on!” Wu Sanhuai gritted his teeth. He glared at Beatrice angrily before activating a talisman.
Whoosh!
A blaze emerged. It bound him and flew off to escape.
He was not stupid. As a level eight Mystic, he would not fight a level fourteen enemy.
“Stay!” The great commander closed his fists. “Capturing Qi Technique!”
Poof!
A translucent palm emerged, charged straight for flames, and destroyed every layer of Wu Sanhuai’s restrictions before finally capturing him.
“Capturing Qi Technique? This is a dao art. After promotion, it becomes the Xiantian Capturing Qi Magical Power!”
Fang Yuan lay on the ground, pretending to be unconscious, and carefully observed the great commander. “Unexpectedly, this commander has a slight connection with me. His technique route should be from the Grand Sleeve Space-Void Magical Power. With Xiantian Capturing Qi Technique and the Five Elements Restriction Magical Power, it’ll turn into the Xiantian Qi Five Elements Restriction Void Immortal Technique!
