Chapter 151: Chapter 80: Heaven Lowers Its Gaze

CRACK!

Lin Yiyi definitely felt Su Linyin’s relaxed posture and slightly mocking gaze.

What vexed her even more was how she had just made a bold declaration, only to find herself in a sorry state moments later. In stark contrast, her opponent remained leisurely and composed the entire time, making Lin Yiyi look like a pathetic, posturing clown.

Humiliation and resentment intertwined, causing her to clench her jaw and fist.

"Yiyi, do you know them?"

It had to be said, the students of the Yin Daoist School were indeed quite capable and, more importantly, united. After weathering the initial panic, they had managed to find their footing.

Now, they were nimbly dodging the gaping chasms that continuously spread beneath their feet while fending off the attacks of Demon Beasts bursting from underground, all while steadily pursuing the figure of the Daoist ahead.

In fact, because they helped one another, not a single one of the remaining students had fallen behind, aside from a few unlucky ones who were eliminated early on.

Amid the chaotic rush, someone noticed Lin Yiyi’s gaze fixed intently on the sky.

Given her high status and popularity within the Yin Daoist School, someone followed her gaze to the trio—Jiang Xuan and the others—floating forward in midair and asked her about them.

In response, Lin Yiyi didn’t reveal their personal feud. Instead, she just shook her head slightly, suppressed the malice and fury in her heart, and said, "I’m fine. Something’s not right with this assessment’s difficulty. Right now, our top priority is to regroup with the others and rescue all our classmates."

Her ability to give such a response instead of acting on impulse was a testament to why she was so popular in her class and trusted by Chen Qianjun.

Unfortunately, while she knew how to exercise restraint and consider the bigger picture, the other students from the Yin Daoist School did not.

They were arrogant, priding themselves on having Chen Qianjun in their class, which they believed made them superior to the Chen Daoist School and the Rooster Daoist School. This attitude led the group of youths to completely disregard Jiang Xuan, who was hovering in midair.

Furthermore, some wanted to curry favor with Lin Yiyi. So, after sensing the friction between Su Linyin and her, one of the young men’s eyes flashed with malice. He raised a hand, condensed a blazing Fireball, and blasted it straight at Jiang Xuan, who was floating ahead in midair.

BOOM!

Naturally, the Fireball was no threat to Jiang Xuan.

Before it could even get close, Jiang Xuan merely glanced at it. An invisible burst of energy erupted, and the Fireball instantly exploded into a shower of sparks before vanishing without a trace.

[Repulsive Force Impact]

He hadn’t bothered the people below, yet they had dared to attack him first. The scene left Jiang Xuan a little stunned.

"How dare you?"

As he asked this, there was no anger in Jiang Xuan’s voice, only utter bewilderment.

’I don’t get it,’ he thought. ’Why are these people seeking their own demise?’

"Huh???"

Down on the ground, the running disciples of the Yin Daoist School were also slightly taken aback by Jiang Xuan’s question, finding it a bit baffling.

After exchanging a glance while running, the young man who had shot the Fireball at Jiang Xuan sneered, utterly speechless. "What do you mean, ’how dare we’?! We’re competitors, and we’re not from the same Daoist School. What’s wrong with attacking you?!"

"Yeah! You dared to offend Sister Yiyi, so you’re dead meat."

"Don’t think you’re so great just because you can fly. I refuse to believe you can stay in the sky forever without landing..."

After this series of rising and falling taunts, Jiang Xuan instantly understood.

’They haven’t realized how powerful and terrifying I truly am. They simply think I got lucky and learned a Flying Technique.’

Once he understood everything, Jiang Xuan was both speechless and exasperated. "Indeed, fools exist everywhere."

"Bastard, who are you calling a fool—OOF!"

Before the young man could finish his angry curse, his running figure suddenly staggered.

It was as if an invisible hand had suddenly grabbed his ankle and yanked it down hard.

The force wasn’t actually that strong; if he had been standing normally, he wouldn’t have even been pulled over.

But at that moment, everyone below was running for their lives. Anyone who has ever sprinted knows that having your ankle pulled while at full tilt can lead to disaster.

That was exactly what happened to the young man. The sudden, unexpected loss of balance sent him sprawling straight to the ground.

More tragically, the ground beneath him happened to crack and collapse at that very moment, forming a pitch-black, bottomless chasm.

The delay left him with no time to dodge.

And so, with a piercing shriek, his figure plunged straight into the abyss.

"No!"

"Liang Xun..."

The sudden turn of events made the other disciples frantic. Forged into a cohesive unit by Chen Qianjun, they even wanted to turn back and save him. ℯℯ𝑙.

The rescue was a success.

"Linglong Rope... Catch!"

Someone’s Magical Artifact was a rope. It suddenly extended over ten meters, wrapped around Liang Xun’s waist, and pulled him back.

However, in the time he was delayed by the rescue, the ground beneath his own feet also split open.

Fortunately, he was prepared. Seeing the ground crack, he immediately leaped into the air, trying to escape the collapsing area.

HUMMM!

Then, just as he reached the apex of his jump, an invisible force of Gravity slammed down on him.

This downward Gravity wasn’t particularly strong. If he were on the ground, he could have used his Cultivation to neutralize and resist it.

But now he was in midair, completely unsupported, with no way to leverage his strength against it.

Under the sudden suppression of Gravity, the result was predictable.

THWACK! Mid-leap, he plummeted straight into the fissure.
